Cindy was getting ready for school, today she was in a good mood today since it was Friday for them. "Morning, Mom." she then greeted.
"Morning, Cindy, I made your favorite breakfast." Shelly smiled.
"Oh, wow!" Cindy beamed as she sat down. "Mm... Dippy eggs, bacon, and toast..."
Shelly smiled to Cindy and then went to get her coffee.
"Could today get any better?" Cindy asked as she then turned on the TV and the news came on.
'Hello out there, Cartoon Network City,' The reporter reported on the television. 'I hope you're having a good Friday because it's going to get even better. We're having a contest and three lucky winners will get to spend their weekend with the most famous superheros ever. That's right, everybody, I'm talking about The Cartoon Girls!'
"Hm..." Cindy hummed before shrugging. "Like they'd ever pick me..."
'The contest will be for the best writer for the essay about why you love The Cartoon Girls and we'll pick a winner tonight at 7:00!' The reporter told the audience, pointing to the screen.
"Friday at 7:00..." Cindy said before looking into the fourth wall. "Why is it always Friday at 7:00?"
'And remember, the top three winners will be the lucky winners!' The reporter continued.
"I'll start one in Study Hall." Cindy smiled.
"Oh, good luck, Cindy, not that you'll need it, you're such a great writer." Shelly smiled and hugged her daughter.
"Thanks, Mom." Cindy smiled back before eating her breakfast.
Not only did she hear the news, but the three familiar girls heard it as well in their secret hideout.
"Whose bright idea was this?" Mike muttered.
"Ooh, I want to meet The Cartoon Girls," Dee Dee smiled. "I need to win!"
Mike and June glanced to their friend.
"What?" Dee Dee asked.
"Dee, we've been through this a thousand times..." June face-palmed.
"You're a Cartoon Girl, just like me and June!" Mike added.
"I am?" Dee Dee asked.
"Yes..." Mike and June groaned.
"Ohhhhh..." Dee Dee said before looking confused. "Then why are we having this contest again?"
"We didn't make the contest." Mike reminded.
"Someone else did," June added. "Probably some stupid mortal."
"Ohh..." Dee Dee said again.
"I don't know what I'm going to do with you sometimes..." Mike sighed to Dee Dee.
"I wonder who're gonna be the lucky winners?" June wondered.
"I don't know, but we better get ready for school." Mike suggested.
They soon grabbed their backpacks and went to go to school for the day.
Of course, at school, all anyone wanted to talk about was the Cartoon Girls contest.
"Of course I'm going to be Action Girl's new sidekick." Becky smirked.
"No way, I'm gonna be her sidekick." Gwen argued with her best friend.
"No, I am!" Becky glared at her best friend.
"As if, Becky!" Gwen glared back.
The two then got into a fight cloud.
"Does this mean you're gonna be in the contest, Bloss?" Buttercup teased her sister.
"No, I'm not." Blossom blushed.
"Why not?" Buttercup smirked as she crossed her arms. "I thought maybe you'd be the first in line to become Action Girl's sidekick."
"No, why would you say that?" Blossom glared. "It's not like I have a thing for Action Girl or anything!"
Buttercup then opened Blossom's locker and it had pictures of Action Girl inside of it.
"Someone put that in my locker." Blossom said.
"Riiight..." Buttercup replied.
"Everyone knows it, Blossom." Bubbles told her oldest sister.
"No, I don't have a thing for Action Girl!" Blossom glared to Buttercup and Bubbles.
"You totally did." Brick smirked as he walked by with his brothers.
"Shut up, Brick!" Blossom glared.
"Yeah, even Boomer's figured it out that you have a crush on Action Girl." Brick replied.
Blossom just pouted and crossed her arms while the others snickered to her.
Cindy was talking to her rookie friends as they were excited too. "I'm so excited for this." She said to them with anticipation.
"So, you decided to talk to us again." Kaitlin muttered.
Cindy just had a deadpan and annoyed look about Kaitlin ruining the mood.
"Shut it, Kaitlin." Julie muttered.
"Thanks, Julie." Cindy smiled.
"So, did you write anything?" Robin asked Cindy.
"Not yet, but I will in Study Hall because I don't have any other homework yet." Cindy replied.
"There can only be three winners," Robin added. "I wish you guys good luck."
"I hope I can do my best," Cindy said. "Then again, I won that Vampire Music Fest thing... I still can't believe Susie Carmichael and Sunny are related."
"I don't get the big hoopla about the Cartoon Girls," Kevin commented. "They are just a bunch of superheros."
"You just don't get it, Kevin." Sarah said as she looked at a picture of Action Girl.
"You too, Sarah?!" Kevin gasped.
"Oh, come on, everybody loves superheroes!" Sarah defended.
"I just don't see what makes them so special." Kevin shrugged.
"Uh, because they save our town from bad guys all the time." Becky told him while Gwen had pinned her down for right now.
"Oh, like you're so innocent, Becky, you guys are always mean to people, especially Dexter, and don't get me started on that time with those Kelsey and Leslie girls from Lemon Brook." Kevin scoffed.
"Besides, I want to win so that I can see Action Girl." Sarah defended.
"What's so special about her?" Kevin asked.
"She's amazing!" Sarah defended.
"Whatever..." Kevin rolled her eyes. "I don't get why you guys all like her so much. Plus, she shouldn't be called 'Action Girl', if anything, she's just gender-confused."
"She's one of the best superheros ever," Gwen said. "I own The Cartoon Girls comics, I know everything."
"Oh, yeah?" Becky replied. "Then what's Action Girl's backstory?"
"I can't believe this, I'm outta here..." Kevin muttered as he walked into the gym in annoyance. "Action Girl, Action Girl, it's always about Action Girl. Might as well call this city Action Town."
"I hope you win the contest, Sadie~" Katie beamed.
"No, I hope you win, Katie." Sadie replied.
"Aww, you're so sweet, Sadie." Katie smiled.
"Let me guess; you two want to see Action Girl too, don't you?" Kevin deadpanned.
"Of course!" Katie and Sadie beamed.
"Ugh!" Kevin groaned. "I'm so sick of all this Action Girl crap! I don't even know why so many people like her!"
"She's one of the bravest heroes we ever know!" Sadie beamed.
"And the unknown too." Katie added.
"Who cares about her?" Kevin rolled his eyes. "She sounds stupid, and she's not that great."
"You're just jealous that she's amazing and you're just you." Sadie pointed.
"Whatever..." Kevin rolled his eyes and went into the locker room. "I just don't get it... It's like Mike Mazinsky's popularity, and everyone loves her, just as much as they love Action Girl..." he then had wide eyes as he thought about something before looking out to see Mike as she took off her jacket and wore shorts to play basketball today. "Mike... Action Girl..." he muttered to himself as he took out a picture of Action Girl and held it against the window to beside Mike as she sighed to the girls who squealed to her, but put up with it anyway. "Oh... My... GOD! I can't believe it!"
"All right, Lu, you remember how this goes, right?" Mike asked her friend from the Albonquetine Islands.
"Yeah, yeah, come on, I'm gonna smoke you." Lu smirked.
Mike rolled her eyes with a smirk back as she dribbled the basketball and began to play against Lu on a one-on-one match.
"I KNEW IT!" Kevin yelled out as he soon came out.
"Huh?" Mike blinked at him.
"You're Action Girl!" Kevin told her.
"What are you talking about?" Mike rolled her eyes.
"Oh, don't play stupid with me, I know you're Action Girl." Kevin glared.
"Kevin, just because you don't like Action Girl doesn't mean you have to blame Mike for your hatred," Lu rolled her eyes. "I think that hat of his is on too tight."
"Can't you see the resemblance?" Kevin defended. "They both have orange hair and are pretty popular."
The others were going to argue, but they soon had to admit that Kevin had a point.
"Look! I got a picture to prove it!" Kevin said. "Look at this picture and then look at Mike!"
"Oops. My fingers slipped." Mike said as she threw the basketball at Kevin in his stomach, making him drop the picture and she quickly grabbed it and hid it away.
"Hey, what happened to that picture?" Kevin looked around. "I must've dropped it somewhere!"
"Anyway..." Mike said before going back to playing basketball with Lu.
"Mike is Action Girl!" Kevin defended. "Don't you guys believe me?!"
The others just walked away from him.
"I'll show you, I'll show you all!" Kevin glared.
"Well, at least someone else is on my side." A voice said behind the bleachers.
Kevin looked around and looked behind the bleachers to find Hermione Cuzzlewitz there. "You know that Mike is Action Girl?" he then asked the smart island girl.
"Well, duh, it's obvious to anyone who has a brain," Hermione rolled her eyes. "I don't understand the whole superhero cliché anyway. Sigmund Freud would even find it unacceptable."
"Well, what can we do?" Kevin asked.
"Expose her secret identity to everyone." Hermione said like it was obvious.
Kevin then grinned to that.
Meanwhile...
"He almost did what?" June asked.
"Almost exposed me." Mike repeated.
"How did he do that?" Dee Dee asked.
"I don't wanna know, point is, he has to be stopped." Mike told them.
"How are we gonna do that?" June asked.
"I have a plan, and I know just the two people who can help." Mike said.
Sky was at her locker, putting her books away.
"Sky! I need to talk to you." Mike told her cousin.
"Hey, Mike, what's up?" Sky greeted.
"I need your and Jo's help." Mike explained.
"Is something wrong?" Sky asked.
"Yeah, it's an emergency," Mike said. "Kevin almost exposed me as being Action Girl."
Sky just rolled her eyes. "That boy will do anything for attention."
"I know, and I need your and Jo's help." Mike said.
"Think she will?" Sky asked.
"She will," Mike replied before counting town. "In five... Four... Three... Two-"
"Okay, who did it?" Jo demanded as she suddenly appeared next to her fellow werewolves. "Who hurt Justine?!"
"Uh, no one did, it's not always about you and Justine, you know." Mike raised an eyebrow in deadpan to the jockette.
"But you said that-" Jo was about to explain, but then shrugged it off. "Oh, whatever... What'dya want? I was in the middle of beating up Sperg."
"Okay, I need you two to dress up as Action Girl, please," Mike explained. "Kevin knows who I am, and he's probably gonna tell everyone... And, no, Jo, we're not going to kill him."
"Damn it." Jo muttered in defeat.
"I guess that's simple enough." Sky shrugged.
"What's in it for me?" Jo asked.
"Jo..." Mike narrowed her eyes.
"Fine, fine, I'll do it, but what about the stupid contest?" Jo replied.
"Oh, don't worry about that; I'm still going to do the contest," Mike said. "I already told June and Dee Dee about the plan, and they agreed to it, so one of you guys will patrol tonight with them."
"I can do it tonight." Sky offered.
"Thanks, cous, I'll owe you one." Mike smiled.
"Ah, you don't have to do that." Sky smiled back.
"Just be ready tonight; I'll take you guys to our secret hideout." Mike told them.
"You guys have a secret hideout?" Jo asked.
"Uh, yeah?" Mike said, like it was obvious.
"Well, how was I supposed to know?" Jo shrugged.
"I know that I could count on you guys." Mike smiled.
"You'd probably do the same thing for us." Jo replied.
"So, where is this secret hideout anyways?" Sky asked.
"June and Dee Dee will pick you up and then take you guys there." Mike explained.
"Right, they're gonna pick us up, like they have a car." Jo deadpanned.
"Why don't you be nice and say thank you for once?" June scoffed.
"What did you say?!" Jo glared.
"Sorry, I thought wolves had better hearing than you." June glared back.
"You wanna make something out of this?!" Jo threatened. "I'll send you to the magic realm with BROKEN BONES!"
Mike soon whistled to the two to make them stop. "Guys? Time out! Jo, if you want to do this, you need to get your anger in control, otherwise Kevin will find out."
"Fine!" Jo grumbled.
Mike just rolled her eyes at that. "All right, I'll see you guys a little later, I gotta practice for my report in Science." she then said as she left suddenly to get ready for her upcoming class.
"You think this plan will work?" Sky asked.
"It has to, but don't worry, me and Dee Dee will help you, right Dee Dee?" June replied.
Dee Dee didn't pay attention as she was trying to catch a butterfly.
"She has to be on medication or something." June sighed about Dee Dee's lost touch with reality.
The school day went smoothly for everyone eventually, the bell rang and everyone was headed towards the news station to turn in the essay, much to her luck, Cindy was the first one to turn in her essay.
"Today must be my lucky day." Cindy smiled to herself.
"Yeah, yeah, move it already!" Sarah's voice yelled out.
Cindy just stuck her tongue out and then walked off to go since she finished her turn.
"Three... Only gonna be three winners..." Sarah told herself as she went next. "I hope that I'm one of the three."
"Yeah, Sarah, you're the perfect sidekick, you got the perfect mouth for it!" Kaitlin's voice mocked.
"At least I don't look like a cyclops!" Sarah retorted.
"Cyclops?" Kaitlin sneered. "Why I oughta-"
"Can't we go a single day where people don't try to kill each other and fight?" Cindy groaned.
"Yeah, I got enough of that at my old home." Julie agreed.
"It's Sarah, nobody likes her." Kaitlin defended.
"Just ignore her, Kait, let's just go." Cindy told her friend.
They soon left once Cindy's essay was submitted.
"I'll show you my Pinterest, guys." Cindy said as she took out her phone and scrolled through it.
"So, when are they gonna announce the three winners?" Robin asked.
"Tonight." Cindy said.
"What time?" Julie asked.
"7:00," Cindy replied. "You know the deal."
Kevin and Hermione then approached the rookies.
"Hello, girls." Kevin greeted.
"Hello, Kevin." The Rookies greeted, boredily.
"I got news for you guys." Kevin told them.
"You're leaving town?" Kaitlin replied hopefully. "My prayers have been answered."
"No!" Kevin glared. "Mike Mazinsky is Action Girl!"
The Rookies just looked at each other and laughed.
"That's a good one, Kevin." Cindy said.
"We're serious." Hermione told them.
"So... What's your point...?" Cindy asked. "I don't get it."
"Are you stupid?" Kevin glared. "We said that Mike is Action Girl! Think about it! She's popular and Mike's popular!"
"Mike is not Action Girl." Robin said.
"Mike's cool, but not that cool." Kaitlin added.
"You're probably just jealous." Cindy said.
"Jealous of what?!" Kaitlin snapped.
"That Action Girl is popular, successful, and more famous than you'll ever be." Cindy said.
"At least I don't wet the bed all the time like the baby YOU are!" Kevin glared.
"'At least I don't do this', 'At least I don't do that'..." Cindy mocked. "Is that all you bullies EVER do?! It's really sick and old! You've beaten an extinct horse at this point! Yes, I might be a coward, but I have a 5.0 GPA and I'm even going to a special college training program this summer to get away from JERKS LIKE YOU!"
The Rookies then cheered for their friend.
"Man, that felt kinda good, and I feel a whole lot better." Cindy said out of relief.
"I bet." Julie smirked as she knew that had to feel awesome.
"Now, if you'll excuse us, we have a cool kid's group at my house." Cindy then folded her arms.
"If it's a cool kid's party, why wasn't I invited?" Kevin glared.
"I think you should look in the mirror for that answer if you haven't broken it already." Cindy smirked before going with the Rookies.
"Why, I oughta-" Kevin snarled.
"Easy there, Tiger." Hermione told him.
"She makes me so mad sometimes!" Kevin huffed.
"Forget about her," Hermione advised. "We have other things to do."
"Fine... I guess you're right..." Kevin muttered before following after the Cuzzlewitz girl.
