Narrator: Pst! Listen for the words hostage and condition

It was a beautiful summer day and what's this? There's a new neighbor moving in right across from the Botsfords!

I sighed as I looked around my new house. Why did we have to move? My name is Chelsea Starr my family and I moved to Fair City due to my dad getting a promotion.

"Chelsea!" I heard my mom called from the yard. I went outside and looked for my mom who was still unloading boxes from our minivan.

"Why don't you go next door? They have a daughter and a son around your age, I already met their parents they seem like a nice family. I really want you to make friends this time." My mom said. I sighed again.

"Please dear? I have a huge feeling you'll like their daughter she seems very educated to that child has a strong vocabulary you could learn from her."Educated huh? I thought to myself.

You don't even know half of the story. I looked up at the sky. I swore I heard someone talking just now.

"Fine but don't expect anything to happen."' I said as I walked across the street to the Botsfords house.

I knocked on the door and waited a few minutes until I heard a girl's voice.

"Coming!" She shouted I waited a few minutes then the door opened revealing a girl with dark hair and dark skin. She wore a green shirt and a purple shirt.

"Hi you must be the new neighbor i've been hearing about. My name is Becky Botsford… nice to meet you." She said extending her hand out for me to shake. I was silent for a minute then sighed and shook her hand and introduced myself.

"My name is Chelsea Starr it's nice to meet you as well and yeah I am new here we just moved from California due to my dad getting a promotion. I'll be starting school next week." I said.

"That's great! Hey do you…." Becky stopped for a minute as if she was listening to something then I heard a man screaming for help, and he approached me.

HELP! Lady Redundant woman is at the city bank!" Then he ran off.

"Hey… Uhh I got to go I just remembered that I have a lot of homework to do." Becky said.

"Sure no problem thought I say hi and all maybe we could become friends?" I said. Becky smiled.

"Sure Chelsea i'd love to be your friend." Just then a monkey came beside Becky Botsford and tugged on her skirt . He well talked monkey to her.

"Okay I really need to get my homework done." She said then quickly slammed the door in my face.

"Okay that's..

"WORD UP!" Just out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash of light.

"what in the world is going on? I did hear an alarm earlier ehhh why not? It's not like I have anything else to do." i began walking out towards the city. This city was pretty calm but once I got near the bank there were cops surrounded the building. A hand was then put over my mouth.

I tried setting myself free but the woman was stronger than I was.

"Ha! I have a ummm what's the word?" She said as she tied me up with some rope.

"A hostage?" I asked her.

"Yeah a hostage what's that?" I sighed.

"A hostage is a person who is seized or held for fulfilment of a condition." I said.

"She's right and you better let her go!" A familiar voice said from above. Becky? I thought for a moment.

"Wordgirl! Ha like she said I won't let her go on one condition." Lady Redundant woman said.

"And what's your condition?" Wordgirl asked.

Lady Redundant Woman looked confused.

"I believe you got this one Wordgirl was it?" I asked.

"Yeah hi umm a condition is what you desire." Wordgirl said.

"Ahh well my condition is that the employees hand over all the money in the bank or the girl gets it." She said.

Wordgirl sighed then she flew passed us then untied me. She then threw me on her back. I was shocked at first but then once I got comfortable Wordgirl took care of Lady Redundant Woman.

"Oh come on!" Lady Redundant woman shouted from inside the police car. Wordgirl then flew me up to the top roof off the building. Once there was no one in sight she sighed.

"Okay this may be a bit shocking to you but if we're going to be friends then I need to tell you something but you have to promise me to keep this a secret." Wordgirl said. I was confused I just met the town's superhero and she wants me to be friends with her? Her monkey sidekick shook his head and frantically waved his hands.

"I'm sorry Captain Huggy Face but I already made up my mind, I want to tell her now so I won't have to hide it from her like I did with Violet." Wordgirl said.

"Hide what? " I asked Wordgirl took off her helmet.

"My name is Becky Botsford but my real identity is wordgirl I came from a far away planet called Nexion and crashed here in Fair City." I was stunned. Becky gulped but then I smiled.

"That's so cool!" I asked Becky looked shocked.

"So you're not upset?" Becky asked as I leaned over the railing as we continued talking.

"No not at all why?" Becky sighed then explained what happened.

"My best friend Violet Heaslip discovered that I was Wordgirl and my identity almost ruined our friendship. You two are the only ones who know my secret identity." Becky said.

"Ah I see I understand why you would want to tell me right away don't worry Becky or Wordgirl your secret is safe with me I promise." Becky gave me a hug.

"Thanks Chelsea come on we better get you back home." She said as she put her helmet back on .
