Chapter 3: Jealousy

When Frida arrived to class, she can already see that Manny was annoyed by everybody talking about La Electrica.

"Man, La Electrica must be popular", Manny said under his breath.

"What are you so ticked off about?", asked Frida.

"I'm not mad I'm just- never mind", said Manny.

"Well, if you're ready to talk, let me know", said Frida.

As the day went on, Frida didn't listen to any of her teachers, just daydreamed. During lunch, Frida was eating when;

"Hey Freeds!", said Rosa, who was one of Frida's band mates.

"Yeah?", asked Frida.

"We made a new song! It's about La Electrica! We have to play it!", said Teeny.

"Okay!", said Frida enthusiastically.

As the Atomic Sombreros got together, everyone in the cafeteria turned around to see them perform.

"1, 2, 3, 4!", said Frida.

Frida began playing her guitar and began to sing:

"This is the Ballad of La Electrica, a hero of confidence and electricity…

1, 2, 3, 4!

She's got her guitar loaded with lightning and power,

With plenty of speed filled with firepower,

With her powerful electric guitar,

She's an awesome rock star,

She's got it all with her awesome powers!"

Meanwhile, Manny overheard Frida singing about La Electrica.

"What's so great about La Electrica? I'm better than her", said Manny unimpressed.

The crowd went wild as Frida continued singing:

"When there's a villain out in the open,

La Electra deserves our devotion,

We trust her to take them down,

And everything is okay by sundown!

And her name is La Electrica!", Frida concluded.

Everybody cheered as Frida, Teeny, and Rosa did a stage dive and the crowd carried them out. As they left, Manny stayed in the cafeteria watching them.

"I'm going to find out what's so great about her", said Manny as he transformed as El Tigre.

After school, Frida was talking to Rosa and Teeny.

"So practice tomorrow, right?", asked Teeny.

"Right. I'll see you there!", Frida said as she waved to her bandmates as they headed home.

"Well, that concludes another day", Frida said.

As she was about to walk home, a loud explosion was heard. Frida saw El Oso robbing the jewelry store. Frida transformed into La Electrica and then ran to see all the commotion.

"Drop that money, El Oso!"

"Ha Ha! You think you can stop me, mang? Then come get me!"

Frida was about to run to stop El Oso when El Tigre beat her to him.

"Think you can run away? Think again!" said El Tigre.

La Electrica began playing her guitar and zapped El Oso many times with it. El Tigre wrapped his grappling claw around him and squeezed him so hard that it caused him to drop the money. Frida then played a solo that made a wind of music blow El Oso into the police car.

"I'll get you next time, mang!", he said as he was driven to jail.

"I like to see you try", Frida taunted.

El Tigre walked up to La Electrica. "You must be La Electrica. I'm El Tigre", he introduced himself.

"Hi! Nice to meet you", Frida said back.

"You did really good back there", said El Tigre.

"Thanks! You too! Well, I must get going. Nice to meet you! Let's do this again, okay?" Frida said as she walked away.

"Maybe I misjudged her. She's really good!" Manny thought.
