A/N - Sorry if this chapter seems a bit rushed. I desperately wanted to update. I hate to keep you guys waiting. I'd like to thank you all for reading. Please leave a review to tell me what you think! :)

"Fran, honey, what's this I hear of you throwing up at school?" called my mom from the living room.

Here comes another one of my mom's world famous lectures.

I came in and sat down on the couch next to my parents. Mom began, "What in the world were you thinking, Francis Georgia Titan? Eating expired breakfast is one of the most irresponsible things I've ever heard of! And to top it all off, you have detention for sleeping in class. You should have been paying attention to the lesson so you can get into a good college and get a job!"

"Mom, I already know that I'm going to be an opera singer like you," I told her.

"For the last time, I'm a dentist. And you have get good grades and go to college to become one," she said, exasperated.

"You sure you're a dentist? Because when you say 'ahh' you sound just like one."

"I'm sure. Now go to your room, you're grounded," she commanded.

"But-"

"You heard your mother. Go." Dad waved his hand toward my room. I slumped my shoulders and headed to my bedroom in defeat.

"Walking home from school, I'm walking home from school," I sang on my way home from detention. "Detention, detention, detention is boring. Oh, teachers are evil. Yes, they are evil."

"Hey, Titan!" called a voice from behind me. I turned around to find Victor Meatball, the meanest, biggest, fattest kid in school. Yes, his last name is really Meatball. It was bad enough that he lived in the same neighborhood as me. But worse, he had to pick on me every single day of my life.

"Hey! Titan! I'm talking to you!" he yelled.

"Cupcake cupcake cup cupcake," Cupcake told me.

"Don't worry. I won't talk to him," I reassured her. Well, that would have been my plan if he hadn't shoved me from behind.

My skull smacked against the pavement with a thud. I looked up at Victor with widened eyes. "Dude! What the heck!" I screamed at him.

"Ah, Titan. Still as vulnerable and weak as ever," he said, smirking.

"Ah, Meatball. Still as stupid and fat as ever," I teased.

He gave me a sinister glare and continued, "I believe you've forgotten last week's deal."

"What deal?"

"Why I can't believe you forgot. Let me refresh your memory. You have to go steal candy from the candy store today."

"What! No way!" I said, angrily.

"If you refuse, I'll show this picture to your mom and dad." He reached his sweaty hand into his filthy jacket and revealed a crumpled photo of a blonde girl in a bikini.

"You're going to show them a picture of a girl?" I asked.

He peered down at it. "No, wait! Not that one!" He quickly stuffed it back into his pocket and pulled out another picture. "I'll show them this." It was a photo of me stealing a purse from an old woman.

"Hey! I never did that!" I protested.

"I know. I photoshopped it on the internet. Wonder what your parents will say once they find out what you did. So what do you say now?" He waved it tauntingly in front of me.

I studied it again more closely. It was in perfect detail. Well, except for the fact that my head was too big for my body. And my face looked pretty casual for someone who's supposed to be robbing an old lady. Anyone who saw this would believe it was real! He was an evil genius!

I can't get in trouble for this. I'm already grounded. Imagine what they would do for this. I gave a long sigh and looked up.

"Deal."

I followed Victor to the candy store. On the front of the door was a closed sign. "Okay, it's closed! I guess we should come back tomorrow," I said, hastily.

"No need." He extended his arm and opened the door which was surprisingly unlocked. Before I could say otherwise, he had already pushed me inside.

The store was huge. Boxes and boxes of Nummy Bars lined the shelves. Armies of frosted cakes beckoned me to them. Sugar-coated lollipops coaxed me into savoring the scrumptious, juicy flavor of the sugary sweets.

"Cupcake cupcake. Cupcake cup cupcake cupcake cake," reminded Cupcake.

"Oh. Right." I don't want to grab too much or they might notice. I started by snagging a box of peanut butter clusters and worked my way from there. I nabbed some fruity bars, seized some caramel apples, and snatched some sugary donuts. When I thought I had enough, I was about to leave when something caught my eye. An unlocked closet door.

Might as well get something for myself.

I creeped into the room to find nothing there. Huh. Could've sworn there would be something good in here. Then I see it. On a small, tiny table, concealed in a corner where no one can spot it, is a stick of gum.

I know what you're thinking. Why did she sound all dramatic over a stick of gum? She must have lost her marbles. But little did I know, that little piece of candy would change my life forever.

I doubted that they would notice that it was missing. So without thinking, I lifted it up off the table and into my mouth. Mmm, pretty good.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" screamed a voice from behind me. I circled around to find a tall, lanky man in a lab coat beside the doorframe.

"Just chewing some gum. What's the big deal?"

"Oh my god. Oh my god. Don't worry. You'll be just fine as long as you don't-" I gulped it down. "-swallow it."

Suddenly, I felt high energy burst course through me. I wanted to jump up and down and run a million miles and never stop. So I did. I leaped high into the air and was surprised when I busted through the ceiling. I ran lightning speed through the city, passing by cars and buses containing horrified passengers.

"Oh yeah!" I cheered. Never before have I felt this elated. I stopped in my tracks and did a couple somersaults in the air twenty feet above me. I lifted a truck off the ground and started juggling it. I gave a bow to the audience gathered around me.

But they weren't cheering. They weren't clapping. They were screaming. They were running away.

I realized what was happening. No human can run that fast or jump that high or lift things that heavy. That's when I noticed the blue light cast around me. What's happening to me?

"Wait! Don't be scared of me! Cupcake! What's going on- OUCHIE!" Something had pierced my hip and sent a jab of pain to my side. I glanced down to find a large needle sticking in me. I grimaced as I pulled it out. My head started to spin, and my vision turned fuzzy. A net being thrown over me was the last thing I saw before falling into unconsciousness.
