Chapter One
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel
Wrapped in pink so soft and warm
You had me wrapped around your finger
Since the day you were born
Bob Parr looked up proudly as his daughter received her diploma from Metroville High School. That little piece of paper marked the end of her high school career and the beginning of adulthood.
It was hard to believe that his little girl was all grown-up now. She had changed so much over the past four years. No longer was she a shy, gawky teenager, but a vivacious, daring 18 year old woman who was comfortable with her super-powers. She no longer hid behind a curtain of thick, dark hair. It was now always pushed back by a headband. The one thing that had never changed over the years were her large violet eyes. Bob and Helen often wondered whose side of the family they came from. Truth be told, his little girl didn't look like the rest of the family, except for sharing her mother's nose.
Bob took a moment to look at his family while the valedictorian droned on about "living for the moment." His wife of 20 years, Helen, was busy keeping their four year old son, Jack-Jack, occupied. Dash, their 14 year old son, was squirming in his seat. He couldn't sit still for very long periods of time. His daughter was on stage with the graduates. He was lucky to have this family.
Bob was broke out of his reverie by the principal announcing the end of the graduation ceremony. He stood up and cheered for his daughter as she threw her cap in the air with the other graduates.
Looking at her, you'd never guess she wasn't a normal teenager. She certainly looked like one. But, instead, she was Incredi-girl, part of the elite Incredible family of superheroes.

"Dad, thanks for everything," Violet told Bob later that night. "I really liked that graduation party you threw for me. It was nice seeing everyone one last time. Especially Lucius and Honey's new baby."
They were both sitting in the living room, eating left-over graduation cake and talking. Violet's had always been a daddy's girl.
"You're welcome, Vi. Are you sure you don't want me take you to college? I can help carry your stuff..."
Violet rolled her eyes. "I can manage on my own, Dad. The way you're acting you'd think it's five days away, instead of five hours. I'm surprised you didn't make me go somewhere closer to you and mom."
Bob laughed. "I thought about making you go to the Metroville University."
Violet grimaced. "Da-a-ad. That's were all the bums go."
"Excuse me? That's where me and your mom went," Mr. Incredible said.
"Well, that was then, this is now," Violet retorted.
Bob turned serious. "Vi, you know I've been wrapped around your finger since you were born. You're my little girl."
His "little girl" made a face. "Daddy, you have to realize that I'm not your little girl anymore. For crying out loud, I'm eighteen! I could buy cigarettes if I wanted too. Not that I do," she added, seeing her dad's look. "I'd prefer a Cuban cigar."
"Violet!" he acted shocked.
"Just kidding, dad," she laughed at him.
"Ok, Vi. I'm trying not to be as over-protective of you, but it's hard. You're always gonna be my little girl."
"Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself," she said, referring to her super-powers.
"I know, I know. Good-night, Violet." He bent down and gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead. "I love you."
"Love you too, Daddy."

A few weeks later, Bob and Helen were stading in their driveway saying good-bye to their only daughter.
Bob had tried to stay out of Violet's way as she packed. The only thing he did was use his super-strength to carry all of Vi's stuff to the little red sportscar he gave her two years ago.
He slammed the trunk of her car. "Well, I think you are good to go."
Violet gave both her parents a hug and a kiss. "Don't miss me too much while I'm gone." She got into her car and drove off.
Bob and Helen waved until they could no longer see the back of her car.
Helen turned to Bob. "We had to let her go sometime."
"I know," he said. "But it still hurts."
