Wordgirl's Adult Life
The Trial of Miss Power
(Today, Wordgirl and Tobey are getting ready to go and head back to Lexicon, but not for vacation. They are going to go and testify against Miss Power, the intergalactic villian who had tried to take over Earth when Wordgirl was 11.)
(When Wordgirl and Tobey were living on Lexicon after they had graduated from high school, they had told the leaders of Lexicon all about Miss Power.)
(The leaders of Lexicon had heard of her for years and had decided to go after Miss Power. It took them years, but they had finally tracked down and arrested her.)
(And now Wordgirl, Tobey, and some others are going to travel to Lexicon to testify against Miss Power in order to bring her to justice.)
Wordgirl/Becky: (Flies around, feeling nervous about the trip and trying to get everything ready.) We need to get packing!
Tobey: Becky!
Wordgirl/Becky: What?! (Calms down.) Sorry, I'm just a bit nervous about this trip to Lexicon. I've never brought anyone from Earth, except you.
Tobey: It's ok. I also know that you're nervous about the trial.
Wordgirl/Becky: That I'm not too nervous about.
Stephanie: Mommy, we go on trip?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes, Stephie. We're going on our trip as soon as we all meet together.
Tobey: So where are we all going to meet?
Wordgirl/Becky: I told everyone to meet at the original crash site.
Tobey: The one where you and Huggy first came to Earth?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yep. We need to get the kids ready for the trip as well. I'll get Teddy's things together and you can get Stephie's things together.
Tobey: Ok. Let's go, Stephie.
Stephanie: Help Daddy?
Tobey: Sure, you can help. Just not so many toys. (Stephanie moves fast to her room.) Stephie, Daddy can't keep up with you too well. Slow down!
(Soon everyone is waiting at the meeting spot, including those not going on the trip.)
Scoops: I wish we could go with you, but my boss has work for me to do.
Violet: And Tommy and Liam have school.
Scoops: But, we'll be praying for you.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks.
Birthday Girl: I'm hoping for a victory for you guys too.
Tobey: Thanks.
Travis: Mommy, I want to go with them.
Birthday Girl: Not this time, Travis.
Travis: (Pouts.) You're a mean mommy.
Birthday Girl: Sorry about that.
Wordgirl/Becky: Travis, maybe another time I can take you to Lexicon for fun. But this time, we're going there for a boring reason. Ok?
Travis: Ok. Next time?
Wordgirl/Becky: Next time.
Birthday Girl: Wow, that was fabulous.
Violet: I told you how great she is with kids, even ones that aren't her own.
Victoria: Sophia wanted to say something to you.
Sophia: Have best trip.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks Sophia.
Chuck: I'm a little nervous about going to another planet. I'm not sure what to do there or anything.
Wordgirl/Becky: Don't worry, Chuck. I'm going to be there and I'll make sure your trip there will be alright. Ok?
Chuck: Ok. Thanks.
Butcher: Yeah, I'm a little nervous too.
Wordgirl/Becky: Guys, you have nothing to worry about. Lexicon is a safe planet.
Tobey: And the people are very friendly. Trust me. The first Earthling to ever go to Lexicon.
Mr. Botsford: Sally, are you sure I don't need to go with you to Lexicon?
Mrs. Botsford: Yes, you need to stay here and babysit TJ's twins. He and Vanessa have to go on a business trip and Vanessa's parents are visiting relatives in Argentina.
Mr. Botsford: Oh, ok. Well then, good luck with the trial. I'm going to miss both you and Becky. (Hugs his wife and daughter.)
Stephanie: Miss me, Grandpa?
Mr. Botsford: Yes, I'm going to miss my first grandbaby. And my grandson, Teddy.
Rebecca: Daddy, when is the ship coming?
Dr. Two-Brains: It should be here soon. Don't be so impatient.
LRW: Why don't you go and play, enjoy yourself, have fun with Stephanie while we wait?
Rebecca: Ok, alright, fine.
Wordgirl/Becky: Is everything ok over here?
Dr. Two-Brains: The ship is taking a long time to get here and Rebecca is getting impatient.
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm sorry about that.
(Just then a ship, similar to Becky's ship appears in the sky and begins to descend towards the ground.)
Mrs. Botsford: Becky, it's here.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks Mom. (After it lands, the door opens and, to their surprise.) Huggy! I'm so happy to see you. (They hug.) You're going to be the pilot, taking us to Lexicon? (Huggy nods yes and gives a thumbs up.)
Chuck: The monkey's going to take us to Lexicon?
Wordgirl/Becky: Huggy's the best monkey space pilot on Lexicon. (Huggy tells her that he's now higher in rank.) You're now General Huggyface?
Victoria: Wow, he's a general? Maybe Smoochingkin should become a colonel.
Wordgirl/Becky: Another time, Victoria.
Victoria: Right. Good luck at the trial.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks to those not coming. We'll be back as soon as we can.
Tobey: And we'll tell you all about it.
Scoops: I can't wait to hear it all.
Violet: Good luck.
Wordgirl/Becky: Climb aboard everyone. Chuck, Butcher, it's alright guys. I'll be right here with you.
(Butcher and Chuck both look at each other and nod as they hurry on board the ship.) Ok, Huggy, everyone's on board. (Huggy gives a thumbs up.)
Chuck: How long will it take to get there?
Wordgirl/Becky: Usually it'll take about two Earth months to get there. But Huggy is going to speed it up, so it'll take us about three weeks. And while we are there, some people will refer to me, using my Lexicon name.
Butcher: I forgot what that was.
Wordgirl/Becky: Aleena Laria.
Butcher: Wow, that's pretty.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks, that's what Granny May said. (She becomes sad.) I'm still upset about Granny May dying.
Dr. Two-Brains: We all are upset about that too. But we should try to move on.
Chuck: And she did say that she will be with us in spirit. I think I know what that means.
Wordgirl/Becky: So do I. It means that even though Granny May can't be with us physically, she'll still be with us in spirit. And I'm told that the spirit can never die.
Butcher: I believe it. When my father died, I could still feel his presence sometimes and I don't miss him as bad.
Wordgirl/Becky: Aww, thanks for that, Butcher. You are a really nice guy.
Butcher: Thanks. (He begins to blush a little.)
(Soon after everyone is onboard, Huggy gives the signal that he's ready to lift off.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Ok, everyone. You all need to be belted in. Huggy's about to lift off. And this isn't like the rockets on Earth.
(Soon, the ship is off the ground and the ship zooms off into deep space.)
Chuck: (He looks outside as Earth zooms away from view.) Wow, I've never been in space before. This is very fun. Look how the Earth looks from up here.
Dr. Two-Brains: It's pretty amazing.
Rebecca: Daddy, is that the Moon?
Dr. Two-Brains: Yes. See, it's not made of cheese. It's just rock.
Rebecca: You're silly, crazy, funny, Daddy.
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm surprised that the moon wasn't the one place you tried to turn into cheese.
Dr. Two-Brains: I thought about doing it. But then, I thought that would be way too much cheese.
Wordgirl/Becky: And besides, if you ate the moon, Earth wouldn't be too safe to live on anymore.
Chuck: Why is that?
Wordgirl/Becky: The Moon helps the Earth regulate the seasons and the tides. I think that's right. I'm not too good with science but that's what I learned in school.
Tobey: I think you know more than you think. (Holding Teddy in his lap.)
(A few days later.)
Chuck: What's that?
LRW: I think, believe, trust that's another galaxy.
Chuck: Are we heading towards it?
Dr. Two-Brains: I think so. Maybe that's where Lexicon is located.
Wordgirl/Becky: Huggy said this is the galaxy that Lexicon is located in and we should be there in about two days.
Rebecca: Are we there yet?
Dr. Two-Brains: We'll be there soon, Sweetie.
Stephanie: Are we there yet?
Wordgirl/Becky: We'll be there soon, Stephie.
Tobey: Becky, I think Teddy is getting antsy.
Wordgirl/Becky: Here, let me hold him a bit. (Tobey hands Teddy over to Becky.) Are you getting antsy, Teddy? We'll be there soon.
(Two days later, they come up on Lexicon.)
Chuck: Wow, look at all of the red meteors and rocks. (He then looks at Wordgirl, who's feeling a bit light-headed.) You ok?
Wordgirl/Becky: Those rocks are pieces of Lexonite. The last time Tobey, Huggy, and I passed by here, I was feeling the same as now.
Tobey: (He gets up and moves to comfort his wife.) We'll pass these rocks soon, Becky. I'm right here. (He massages her back and shoulders.)
Stephanie: Mommy sick?
Wordgirl/Becky: I'll be ok, Stephie. I'm surprised she's immune to this stuff.
Tobey: Maybe because she has some of my DNA in her and that maybe helping her.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thank goodness for that.
(Pretty soon, they fly away from the pieces of Lexonite and Wordgirl begins to feel better.)
Butcher: You ok now?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah. I'm going to be ok.
(Soon they break through the atmosphere of the planet and Huggy lands them just outside of Lexo City.)
Tobey: This is it. We're here.
(Huggy lands in the main port and once the hatch opens, the Earthlings walk outside and are amazed at everything they see.)
Chuck: Wow, this place looks amazing.
Wordgirl/Becky: This is the main space port in Lexo City. Lexo City is like the capital city. Huggy's home is in the nearby town of Mara. Just over there. Mostly monkey families live there.
(Huggy goes to an official and tells them to announce to the royal family that witnesses from Earth have arrived to testify in the Miss Power trial.)
Capt. Jifara: Hello, I'm Capt. Jifara. I'm Captain of the Guard of the Royal family of Lexicon. I was told that you are the witnesses from Earth.
Wordgirl/Becky: They're from Earth. I'm originally from Lexicon. But I live on Earth now.
Capt. Jifara: Very well. I will take you to the Royal family of Lexicon. And do you have a place to stay while you are here?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes, Sir. I'm Aleena Laria, of the Laria family. I'm the sole survivor.
Capt. Jifara: Very well. Please, come. You Earth beings have nothing to fear. We won't harm anyone of you.
Wordgirl/Becky: It's ok, you guys. You'll be safe.
(They then get into a hovering transport and it takes them through the city and onto the home of the Royal family.)
Mrs. Botsford: Where's Huggy going?
Wordgirl/Becky: He's got a family now. He's going to go and be with them while we go and see the royal family.
Rebecca: Daddy, can we live here?
Dr. Two-Brains: I don't think so, Sweetie. But maybe someday, you can visit here.
LRW: Rebecca's right, correct, on the money. This place is like perfect.
Chuck: I noticed the horde of sandwich shops in this town.
Wordgirl/Becky: Remember when I said that before Huggy, Tobey, and I came here, no one on Lexicon had ever heard of sandwiches? But once I introduced them to the people, they became a huge hit. But you have to remember that the sandwiches are made from meat, dairy, and grains found on Lexicon, not Earth.
Butcher: So what kind of meats are there?
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, I mentioned the lirebeast. They are domesticated and they can be found in the wild as well. Those animals provide most of the meat and the dairy products. The bread is made from a grain called char. It's kind of like wheat. Then there's the tusk fruit. It's used in a lot of their juices. Very sweet and tasty.
(They then arrive at the home of the royal family and are escorted by the Captain of the Guard.)
Capt. Jifara: Sire, the witnesses from Earth have arrived.
King Bolo: Very good. Hello, I'm King Bolo. Welcome to Lexicon. This is my wife, the Queen.
Queen Teera: Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I understand that one of you is Lexiconian?
Wordgirl/Becky: That would be I, Sire. I'm Aleena Laria, on Lexicon. But on Earth, I'm Becky Botsford-McCallister or Wordgirl. I'm a super hero on Earth, in the city of Fair City.
King Bolo: I understand that several years ago, you had an incident involving Miss Power.
Wordgirl/Becky: That is correct, Sire. And these are some of the witnesses involved. I brought them because they had witnessed first-hand the tyranny of Miss Power.
King Bolo: Very well. And what about the children?
Wordgirl/Becky: The children just wanted to come along.
Queen Teera: Very well. I see the children are a bit shy. You children have nothing to fear. No one here will bring harm to you.
Rebecca: (Holding her father's hand for reassurance.) Are you a real queen?
Queen Teera: Yes.
Rebecca: Is there a princess?
Queen Teera: We do have a young daughter, Princess Sela. She's ten.
Rebecca: Wow.
Wordgirl/Becky: We should go now and get settled.
King Bolo: Very well. The trial is tomorrow at 8am. You may be dismissed.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thank you, You're Majesty. We'll do our best in the trial.
King Bolo: Very good.
(Wordgirl and her friends leave the palace and head to her family's home, which is close by.)
Mrs. Botsford: So this is you family's home on Lexicon?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes Mom. You all make yourselves comfortable. Tobey and I will get the rooms ready for you all.
Tobey: There may be some food in the ice food box. That's what they call the refrigerator.
Chuck: (Opens the fridge.) There's that bread that Wordgirl mentioned. And there's some meat.
Dr. Two-Brains: And there's the cheese. I wonder what it tastes like. I'm kind of not too sure of this food yet.
Wordgirl/Becky: (Seeing her villians confused and unsure.) Hey guys. I can make you some food.
Mrs. Botsford: Are you sure it's still good, Sweetheart?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes. On Lexicon, food lasts longer than it does on Earth. (She then goes to make a sandwich with lirebeast meat and cheese. She then spreads a condiment on it that looks like mayo, but not quite the same. She then garnishes it with tusk fruit and gives them lirebeast milk.) Ok, eat up.
Chuck: Is that mayo?
Wordgirl/Becky: No, it's called lirma spread. It's like mayo but tastes different. It's not bad tasting.
Chuck: (He takes his finger and tastes a bit of the lirma spread.) MMM, it tastes great. I wish I had this in my arsenal. What's it made from?
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm not too sure. It took me awhile to find out what mayo was made from.
Chuck: That's easy. It's made from egg yolks, vegetable oil, and many flavorings.
Wordgirl/Becky: Perhaps lirma spread is made the same way. Doc are you going to eat that cheese?
Dr. Two-Brains: I'm not sure.
Wordgirl/Becky: It's good. Try it. (He tries it.) Well?
Dr. Two-Brains: It's great. It tastes like a combination of chedder and swiss. Very tasty. The milk is good too.
Wordgirl/Becky: Butcher, how are you liking that lirebeast meat?
Butcher: MMM, good. It tastes a lot like beef, but slightly different.
LRW: And this fruit is very good, tasty, delicious. You said that you can make a smoothy from this?
Wordgirl/Becky: Oh yes. I would like to show you all the beach area. Very romantic. Tobey and I just loved watching the moons in the sky.
Mrs. Botsford: Moons? As in more than one?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah, I mentioned that Lexicon has three moons. Legein, Lingua, and Mono. The first two also have life on them and the third is a lot like Earth's Moon.
Chuck: Have you ever traveled to the moons?
Wordgirl/Becky: Oh yes. Tobey and I went to Lingua. It's mostly forest, but has some small villages. Very nice. And Legein has a lot of swamps. And Mono, there's no life on it. But I'm told that people travel there a lot.
Rebecca: Wordgirl, is there a playground here?
Wordgirl/Becky: Oh, there sure is. Actually, there's one on this property. I think my parents built it for me to use.
(Then Wordgirl and Two-Brains take the kids out to the play area on her family's property.)
Dr. Two-Brains: Your family had a huge property. This is almost as big as Mr. Big's mansion.
Wordgirl/Becky: I don't think it's quite that big. But it's very impressive in size.
Dr. Two-Brains: You seem happy being here on your homeworld.
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah, I am.
Dr. Two-Brains: What's that over there?
Wordgirl/Becky: That's the family crypt. When I came here, I learned that my family was buried on the property. I went over there to see my parents' grave. I'm kind of nervous about tomorrow.
Dr. Two-Brains: Don't worry. You'll do fine. We'll be there to back you up, just like the last time you faced Miss Power.
(Tobey and LRW come and join them.)
Tobey: Are the kids having fun?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah. They seem to be.
LRW: Say, while you are all testifying, giving evidence, attesting against Miss Power, how about if I stay here with the kids?
Wordgirl/Becky: If it's no trouble. Stephie's coming into her powers and…
LRW: Don't worry, fret, be concerned.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well ok. (Later that night, Wordgirl crepts out of her bed and goes to her parents' graves in the yard.) Mom, Dad, it's me, Aleena. I'm here to bring Miss Power to justice and I just want to say I hope I do good. (Instead of seeing a vision of her birth parents, she sees a vision of Granny May.) Granny May?
Granny May: (In spiritual form) Wordgirl, I have a lot of confidence in you, Child. You have always been very brave and confident. Don't worry about anything. You'll do fine tomorrow. Granny May will always be with you.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks Granny May. I miss you very much.
Granny May: (Still in spiritual form.) I miss you too, Child. (She then disappears.)
(Becky then heads back to bed.)
Tobey: (Wakes up.) You ok?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah, I was feeling kind of nervous about tomorrow's trial, but now, I'm feeling much better.
Tobey: Very good.
(The next day.)
Dr. Two-Brains: I've never slept better in my life. These Lexiconian beds are like clouds.
Wordgirl/Becky: Hey everyone. I hope you're all ready for today's trial.
Chuck: We are. We were just commenting on the beds. Two-Brains says they're like clouds.
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah, the beds here are very nice. So, who's hungry?
(She goes to make breakfast of eggs from a linkobird and bacon from a lirebeast and more juice from a mixture of tusk fruit and moogle berries.)
Chuck: Can I get a breakfast sandwich?
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure can. (She then makes an egg sandwich for Chuck.) Here you go. The eggs come from something called a linkobird and there's more cheese from the lirebeast milk.
Chuck: MMM, very good. Too bad we don't have any of these ingredients on Earth. All we have to work with are eggs from chickens and meat from cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and sheep. And dairy products from cows and goats.
Wordgirl/Becky: I think you have more to work with on Earth than here. Besides, don't you get all your meat ingredients from Butcher?
Chuck: Yeah, which is why I don't have spend as much.
Butcher: Why charge my best buddy a lot when I don't have spend anything at all?
Wordgirl/Becky: You know Butcher, in the last few years, I've noticed that you speak better and you use the right words more.
Butcher: Remember that speech class I took years ago?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes.
Butcher: Well, I decided to go back and try again.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, good for you. I'm proud of you.
Butcher: You're proud of me?
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure, whenever someone I care about accomplishes something, it makes me proud of them.
Butcher: You care about me?
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure I do. I always had, even when we were battling. I didn't like it when Miss Power said those mean things to you.
Butcher: Yeah, I heard you tell her that calling people mean names makes you uncomfortable.
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes it does.
Butcher: I also heard her say that she was going to let you teach her to use her words better.
Wordgirl/Becky: (Feels betrayed and lied to.) Yeah, I think she just told me that so I could gain her trust. Then the next day, when she was training me, I told her that using mean words in battle wasn't really my style and then I reminded her that I was going to teach her to use her words better and then she goes and asks me questions about my personal life. And she asks do the villians feel bad about ruining my personal life and I said 'no' and then she said that her way will take you all down quicker and I can get back to my life.
Dr. Two-Brains: She said that to you?
Tobey: I guess we did interrupt your personal life a lot.
Dr. Two-Brains: I remember when we were battling the day before, she wasn't fully paying attention to me.
Wordgirl/Becky: That was because I had promised to help my father with a crossword puzzle, Scoops wanted to take me out for ice cream, and I was going to finally get Sparkletoes pony, but then I had to battle you and I missed all those things. I guess I was kind of upset.
Dr. Two-Brains: Hey look, we're sorry that you missed out on a lot of things when you were young.
Chuck: Oh, you were going to get Sparkletoes? The same one I bought? Is that why you got really mad at me? I never seen her so mad.
Wordgirl/Becky: It wasn't so much that you bought it. You said that you don't why you bought it and you were going to sell it later.
Chuck: You know, if you said something, I could've given it to you.
Wordgirl/Becky: Chuck, I'm so sorry about that. You didn't deserve to be yelled at like that. Especially not by me. Miss Power told me that your weakness was how sensitive you are and that I should use that to defeat you and at first I didn't like the idea.
Chuck: Yeah, I heard that. You didn't really want to call me mean names or make fun of my head.
Wordgirl/Becky: Actually, your head makes you uniquely handsome.
Chuck: Really? It does? Thanks. You've always been super nice to me.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, there aren't too many other people in town with a head like yours. I think Miss Power was just jealous.
Chuck: Thanks.
(Later, they all arrive at the courthouse. LRW is staying at the house with the kids, while the rest testify.)
Judge Nishka: Now the Trial of Miss Power will commence. Are all the witnesses present?
Bailiff: Yes Sir.
Judge Nishka: First we will hear testimonies from the people of planet Kiraina.
Dr. Two-Brains: How long will this take?
Chuck: Shhh, we're in a courtroom.
Wordgirl/Becky: Guys, I don't know how long this'll last. There's probably witnesses from every planet she's been to. Mom, you seem to be relaxed.
Mrs. Botsford: Becky, I haven't sat in a courtroom in a very long time.
(The day goes on and on.)
Judge Nishka: Now we will hear testimonies from witnesses from planet Earth. The only planet to defeat her reign of terror.
Wordgirl/Becky: Hello citizens of Lexicon. On Earth, I'm Wordgirl or Becky Botsford-McCallister. But on Lexicon, I'm Aleena Laria, the sole surviving member of the Laria family, which perished from the Lexiconian Flu epidemic. (The crowd murmurs.)
Judge Nishka: How did you escape the flu epidemic?
Wordgirl/Becky: It's a very long story. But I was living on Earth at the time, with my adopted family, the Botsfords. Anyway, I'm here, along with several others, who are Earth-born beings, as witnesses to Miss Power's reign of terror. But believe me, it didn't start off like that. She was very convincing when she offered to train me in the ways she trained some other beings on other worlds. I was 11 at the time and I thought her offer was something I wanted. I was impressed when she froze Two-Brains' van and when she defeated Butcher with nothing more than making a hole in the floor. I thought maybe she could teach me more ways of battling my villians. But her training involved me using mean and harsh words.
Judge Nishka: When was the first time you used harsh words on your enemies?
Wordgirl/Becky: The first time was when we went to battle Chuck. (She floats to where Chuck is.)
Judge Nishka: Chuck, can you please stand for the court?
Chuck: (Feeling nervous.) Do I have to?
Judge Nishka: Yes Sir.
Wordgirl/Becky: It's ok, Chuck. I'm right here.
(Chuck stands up.)
Judge Nishka: As you were saying?
Wordgirl/Becky: Right. Chuck was about to crush City Hall, the home of our city's mayor and my Earth mother and my Earth mother-in-law both have an office there as well, or they used to, since they are both now retired from their jobs. So anyway, Miss Power and I both lift Chuck's enormous sandwich press and took it to some jagged mountains far away and there we went to confront him.
Chuck: Can I take it from there?
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure, Chuck.
Chuck: Then Miss Power introduced herself to me and I told her my name and she thought it was stupid or something.
Miss Power: It is a stupid name. Chuck, the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy. I mean, come on.
Chuck: She's making me feel upset again.
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm right here, Chuck. Don't let her get to you. Remember, that's where she gets all her power.
Chuck: You're right. Thanks Wordgirl. By the way, I like my name. But now I'm just Chuck the Sandwich-Making Guy. I'm not evil anymore. So anyway, Wordgirl tells Miss Power that it's not nice to talk about me in a harsh way. But then I did something stupid and Miss Power urged Wordgirl to yell at me.
Judge Nishka: Did she yell at you?
Chuck: Yeah she did.
Wordgirl/Becky: Let me just say that at the time, it felt good to let my feelings out.
Miss Power: You should've seen her too. She was feeling so good and zooming through the skies and then this town idiot shows up.
Wordgirl/Becky: Whoa, whoa, whoa! The guy who yells 'help' all the time isn't here to defend himself.
Miss Power: Probably got lost somewhere.
Wordgirl/Becky: As funny as that sounds, that wasn't very nice. The Help guy maybe irritating but he always helped me out in telling me what's going on. And he always seems to know where I am.
Miss Power: People this is what I'm telling you. This woman was the weakess superhero I've come across. She thought my brand of justice was too harsh.
Wordgirl/Becky: It was too harsh. She also encouraged me to insult Tobey. Teasing him about his mother showing up wasn't too bad, I guess.
Tobey: No, that wasn't. Actually, I find that kind of good.
Wordgirl/Becky: It was what I said later that upset him. Tobey and I are the same age. We attended school together and he's always been very confident in himself. At the time, I found it annoying, but now I find it very intriguing.
Miss Power: But he was harsh to attack the city with robots for no reason.
Wordgirl/Becky: Miss Power, Tobey did have a reason for attacking the city with robots, but you might find it dumb. Tobey was in love with me when we were kids. He had always had a major crush on me. His robots were usually there to get my attention.
Miss Power: That is stupid. Can't he get a girl the old-fashion way? Didn't his father teach him about girls?
Wordgirl/Becky: Tobey, do you want to tell this one?
Tobey: Sure thing. (He stands up.) The reason my father didn't teach me about girls is because he left me and my mother when I was a baby. At least that's what my mother told me. I had no male role-models to teach me about girls. And the only other male role-models were the adult guy villians. And they had no girlfriends.
Miss Power: So now, you're a lonely man with no girlfriend still?
Wordgirl/Becky: No, he's not.
Tobey: Wordgirl and I have been together since we were 13.
Wordgirl/Becky: And he won my heart because I realized he's a very nice guy. And he wouldn't do anything to harm me.
Miss Power: He threatens you with robots.
Wordgirl/Becky: Tobey just likes to watch me defeat his robots.
Tobey: She's so beautiful when she was punching and demolishing my robots.
Wordgirl/Becky: I love Tobey so much that we're now married and we have two kids.
Miss Power: What? You married one of your villians? Wasn't there ever a rule against that type of thing?
Dr. Two-Brains: No, there's not. There was no rule in the book that says a superhero can't marry a villian. I admit that I was against them being together, but they are happy together and that's what's important.
Miss Power: Ugh! This is getting too mushy for me. This freak only says that because he doesn't have anyone.
Wordgirl/Becky: First, Doc isn't a freak. Second, he got married before I did. Third, he's a father too.
Miss Power: He is too a freak. What person goes around town with a mouse brain stuck to his head like that?
Wordgirl/Becky: You see, Your Honor. This is what Miss Power did the whole time she was on Earth. She bullied people and made them feel upset. She even had me doing it to the people I care about, including my family and my sidekick, Huggy.
Judge Nishka: Did Miss Power kill anyone while she was terrorizing Earth?
Wordgirl/Becky: Thankfully, no. But when I was coming to the battle, she was about to kill Doc here. And later, I found out that during the battle, Tobey and my Earth mom were standing on top of one of Tobey's robots and Miss Power had tossed it away, sending Tobey and my mom to their deaths. Luckily, Doc's former henchmen were there to catch them. I still thank them for that too.
Miss Power: It was their faults for being on that robot.
Wordgirl/Becky: You know, if I did that same thing, I would've caught them so they couldn't fall to their deaths.
Miss Power: That's what makes me a leader and you, nothing.
Butcher: Hey, thinking of someone's safety doesn't make them nothing. Wordgirl has always made sure that we were safe during our battles.
Miss Power: Even though you all had threatened her life?
Chuck: We never really wanted to kill Wordgirl.
Dr. Two-Brains: It's just in the heat of the battle, that we say and/or do things that could destroy her. But in the end, we're glad that we didn't kill her.
Tobey: Because if we had ever killed her, accidently or otherwise, she wouldn't be here to help us. And I could never live with myself.
Miss Power: But you're villians. You're not supposed to have feelings for the hero or anyone at all.
Butcher: You can't tell us how to be villians. Besides, a lot of us aren't villians anymore.
Miss Power: What? You must've said something to make them stop.
Wordgirl/Becky: Actually no. I didn't do anything. Well, I advised Two-Brains and Lady Redundant Woman to give up being villians because they were getting married and wanted a child. So I told them that they should quit for the sake of the child. I wasn't thinking of myself, I was thinking about their future child.
Miss Power: Who's Lady Redundant Woman? Wait, was she that woman who made paper copies of herself?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah, that's her. She's not here because she's watching the children. But she's was one of my villians too. She wasn't too difficult to defeat but she's not really all that bad. In fact, none of my villians are really. You were the only villian who was a real threat to everyone. You tossed more people into jail than the cops and I did together.
Judge Nishka: We'll take a recess and I will decide Miss Power's punishment.
(During the recess.)
Wordgirl/Becky: I just want to go on record that if I said anything to offend any of you, I'm sorry.
Dr. Two-Brains: What? You said nothing insulting about us or anyone.
Wordgirl/Becky: Tobey, did you really like watching me punch and demolish your robots?
Tobey: Well, yes, I did, very much so. Sure I didn't like to have to repair them and I didn't like having my mother pull me by the ear, but yes, I loved watching you defeat my robots.
Wordgirl/Becky: You know, when we get back home, we can play another game of Crash or Pie.
Tobey: MMM, sounds very romantic.
(They kiss.)
Dr. Two-Brains: Ugh!
Chuck: What's Crash or Pie?
Wordgirl/Becky: Crash or Pie is this game that Tobey and I play a lot. We started playing it back when we were kids. It's a word game. Where someone will say a word and the other person will come up with a word similar to it. Like if I said, 'Beautiful'.
Tobey: Then I would say, 'Gorgeous'.
Chuck: Oh, I get it. Can I play?
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure. How about you say a word?
Chuck: Ok. Um, (He ponders about a word to say.) 'Villain'.
Wordgirl/Becky: Great word. 'Criminal'.
Butcher: OOO, can I play?
Tobey: Go for it.
Butcher: Thanks. Um, what's the word we're using?
Wordgirl/Becky: 'Villain' is the original word and I said 'Criminal'.
Butcher: Hmmm, 'Felon'?
Wordgirl/Becky: Good job. That speech class is really helping you.
Dr. Two-Brains: Can I play?
Tobey: Sure.
Dr. Two-Brains: I know another word for 'villain'. 'Gangster'.
Mrs. Botsford: Becky, can I play?
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure Mom.
Mrs. Botsford: Ok. 'Thug'.
Wordgirl/Becky: Way to go, Mom.
Mrs. Botsford: I've been putting villains away for years. I know all the different terms for 'villain'.
(The Bailiff comes into the hall.)
Bailiff: The trial is about to begin again. Please everyone must return to the courtroom.
(As soon as everyone is in the courtroom.)
Judge Nishka: I've heard all the evidence by every witness from over 100 worlds. Miss Power, you are hereby sentenced to spend the rest of your life on the prison planet, Millina. As for your sidekick, Colonel Gigglecheeks, he will be placed into exile on planet Bikomosa for 100 years
Chuck: What does exile mean?
Wordgirl/Becky: Exile means absence from own country or in this case homeworld by court order as a punishment. In this case Gigglecheeks is being punished by going to live on another homeworld and is not allowed to return to his own.
Chuck: I get it now, thanks.
Judge Nishka: Guards, take Miss Power back to her cell and take Gigglecheeks to the space port.
Miss Power: (As she's being taken back to her cell, she glares at Wordgirl.) You little trouble-maker. I'll get you for this someday. I'll bust out of prison and I'll come after you and when I do, I'll kill you! Do you hear me? I'll kill you and anyone who gets in my way!
Mrs. Botsford: Don't you dare threaten my daughter like that!
Tobey: You heard her! Don't threaten my wife!
Miss Power: What's wrong, Wordgirl? Can't you stand up for yourself? Do you need people to back you up?
Wordgirl/Becky: There's nothing wrong with having people to back me up! It doesn't make me weaker!
Miss Power: I beg to differ. I have nothing to fear about your back up. All you have are your villian husband, a man who has two brains and is obsessed with cheese, a man who smells like rotten meat, and a whining man with a sandwich for a head. And of course, your mommy.
Wordgirl/Becky: First, don't talk about them like that. Second, I rather have them back me up than someone like you.
(Miss Power is finally taken back to her cell and the trial comes to an end.)
Judge Nishka: Don't worry about Miss Power busting out. Planet Millina is 10 light-years away from here and about 20 light-years from Earth. And once the prisoners are taken there, they never return.
Wordgirl/Becky: I hope you're right.
Chuck: What are light-years?
Dr. Two-Brains: I know this one. A light-year is the distance that light travels. One light-year is approximately 5.88 trillion miles away.
(Later, the whole group heads back to the house.)
Stephanie: (She hears the door open and when she sees her mom and dad, she's excited.) Mommy! Daddy! You home!
Wordgirl/Becky: (Bends down to pick up her daughter.) We're home, Stephie. We're you a good girl for Mrs. Boxleitner?
Stephanie: Yes. I play with Becca.
Rebecca: Stephanie is my best friend. We played with dollies. (She sees her father.) Daddy! Did you win?
Dr. Two-Brains: Yes, we won.
Rebecca: I knew it. (She hugs her father's waist.)
LRW: (She greets Two-Brains with a kiss.) So, how was the trial, hearing, court case?
Dr. Two-Brains: (He kisses her again.) It went great. Wordgirl told the judge everything Miss Power did.
Wordgirl/Becky: Then Miss Power threatened us as she was being taken back to her cell.
Chuck: But she's going to prison on this prison planet.
LRW: Wow, thank goodness we never did anything too bad, horrible, terrible to taken to be a prison planet.
Wordgirl/Becky: (Holding Stephanie in her arms.) I don't think anyone of you would ever do anything wrong enough to have a punishment like that. So, Rebecca said that you two are best friends.
Stephanie: Best friends.
(That night, as they are all asleep, ready to leave to head home in the morning, Wordgirl begins having a nightmare where Miss Power does escape and returns to Earth and in her nightmare, Miss Power kills everyone Wordgirl cares about, including her villians, friends, and family.)
(Wordgirl jerks awake and is relieved that it was a nightmare.)
(But that nightmare makes her feel uneasy and she decides to look in on everyone to make sure they're alright.)
(She looks over at her husband, Tobey, who she loves dearly and she sees that he's asleep, then she checks on her children, Stephanie and Teddy.)
(She then goes to the next room and checks on her Earth mother.)
(She then makes her way to the next room, which is occupied by both Chuck and Butcher.)
(She then heads to the last room, occupied by Two-Brains, LRW, and Rebecca.)
(As she is leaving.)
Dr. Two-Brains: Wordgirl, what are you doing up?
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm sorry. I just had this horrible nightmare and I just thought I check on everyone. To make sure you're all alright.
Dr. Two-Brains: Everyone is doing ok.
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm sorry that I woke you up.
Dr. Two-Brains: It's ok. I appreciate the concern. Do you want to talk about it?
Wordgirl/Becky: I don't know.
Dr. Two-Brains: Come on. We can talk in the kitchen. It'll make you feel better to talk about it.
Wordgirl/Becky: Ok.
(In the kitchen, they get cookies made from Lexiconian grains and milk and Two-Brains gets some cheese snacks.)
Dr. Two-Brains: So, do you want to tell me your nightmare?
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, in my nightmare, Miss Power had busted out and escaped the prison planet and she makes her way to Earth. She then goes around and begins to kill everyone I care about, including those not here. At the end, she's tells me, "Now that I've killed everyone you've ever cared about, I will now kill you too!" And that's when I woke up and wanted to check to make sure everyone was safe. In my dream, she killed my husband, my children, my parents, my brother, his family, all you villians and your families, my best friends. (She then begins to cry.) I'm sorry that I'm upset over a nightmare.
Dr. Two-Brains: Wordgirl, it's ok to feel upset about something like that. Nightmares can make anyone upset. Can I tell you something?
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure.
Dr. Two-Brains: Back when you defeated her the first time, I had nightmares for weeks after that. They always were the same thing. Miss Power defeats you again and she ends up destroying us.
Wordgirl/Becky: Letting Miss Power train me was the one of the worst mistakes in my life.
Dr. Two-Brains: My worst mistake was buying Squeaky.
Wordgirl/Becky: I guess we all make mistakes like that.
(Later, after finishing up their snacks, they head back to their rooms.)
Dr. Two-Brains: I'll see you in the morning.
Wordgirl/Becky: See you then too. And thanks.
(He gives her a wink.)
(The next day, the group get ready to leave to head back to Earth.)
Mrs. Botsford: Becky, is Huggy taking us home again?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes, Mom.
(The transport arrives to bring them to the space port.)
(When they arrive, they meet up with Huggy, who's brought his family of monkeys.)
Mrs. Botsford: Can I still call you 'Bob'? (Huggy nods yes.) So are these your babies? (Huggy squeaks.) Oh they are so precious.
Wordgirl/Becky: Hi there, Lillybud. Are you taking care of Huggy here? Making sure that he's fed well? (Lillybud nods yes.) Very good.
Rebecca: Mommy, Daddy, look at the baby monkeys. They are so cute.
LRW: Yes they are.
(Soon the group boards the ship and Huggy hugs Lillybud and his offspring and heads into the ship as well to take his former partner and her friends and family home.)
(Soon, they lift off into space and head home.)
(A few days later, they land back on Earth, in the same spot where they had left from.)
(Once they exit, they are greeted by those who didn't go with them.)
Violet: Becky, we all missed you.
Wordgirl/Becky: We all missed you guys too. But we won and Miss Power is going to prison on a prison planet far away from here.
Scoops: That's great news.
Mr. Botsford: Sally, Becky, we missed you both.
Mrs. Botsford: Becky and I missed you too, Honey. (They kiss.)
(Soon everyone is reunited and, after many hugs from Becky, Huggy returns to Lexicon.)
(Later, everyone begins to head home.)
(On the way home, Becky decides to make a stop at the Fair City Cemetery first.)
Wordgirl/Becky: (She places flowers down on Granny May's grave.) Thanks for being there with me, Granny May. We won and Miss Power is getting the punishment that she deserves.
Tobey: Are you ready to go home now?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah. Come on. (She smiles back at the grave and then she sees a vision of Granny May smiling back at her as well.)
(Lying in bed.)
Tobey: What are you thinking about?
Wordgirl/Becky: I was just thinking, have we truly seen the last of Miss Power?
Tobey: She's far away. Light-years away.
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah, that's what we thought when we were in the 7th grade when we learned that we were going back to our old school. We thought we were rid of Steven Nickolas and his friends, but they kept coming back to harass and torment us.
Tobey: Well, I think this is different.
Wordgirl/Becky: Let's hope you're right. I don't want to learn the hard way and find out she's returning.
Tobey: You know what? If she does return somehow, you won't be fighting her alone.
(Meanwhile on the prison planet, Millina.)
Guard #1: Ok, Miss Power. In you go.
Miss Power: Very well. I will get that little Wordgirl, if it's the last thing I do.
Guard #1: Oh, I forgot. This collar will prevent your powers from working. You will wear it whenever you are out of your cell. Once in your cell, your powers will still cease to work.
Miss Power: Curses! No! (That night, as Miss Power sleeps in her cell, she's awaken by a vision.) Who's there?
Granny May: (In spiritual form.) If you go anywhere near my girl, I will make your nightmares come true.
Miss Power: What?
Granny May: You heard me, you tyrannical bully. Don't mess with Wordgirl or anyone else for that matter or you will answer to Granny May and to many others here.
Mr. Laria: Like us.
Miss Power: Who are you two?
Mr. Laria: We're Wordgirl's birth parents from Lexicon.
Mrs. Laria: Don't ruin our daughter's happy life on Earth.
Miss Power: How did you find out about me?
Mrs. Laria: We watched over our daughter at the trial and this Earth woman told us about what you did to her when she was a child.
(Mr. and Mrs. Laria disappear first, glaring at Miss Power.)
Granny May: I'm leaving now. But remember my warning. You harm that child and I harm you. (She then disappears.)
(Miss Power sits in her cell for half the night, without getting any sleep.)
(Back on Earth, Becky is asleep alongside Tobey, when she hears a voice in her head, telling her to go to the library in the home.)
Wordgirl/Becky: (In the library.) Who's there?
Granny May: (In spiritual form.) I'm sorry to have come at this hour, but I wanted to tell you that I gave a warning to Miss Power. That if she even thought about harming you or anyone, I would make her life miserable.
Wordgirl/Becky: You didn't have to do that.
Granny May: Yes I did. You shouldn't have to worry about Miss Power anymore, my child. You're a wife and mother. You need to focus on raising your family and not on tyrants like Miss Power. I will be watching over you and everyone. I also met your birth parents. They gave Miss Power the same warning.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, thanks. I'll try not to worry too much about Miss Power. Thanks for being a good friend and thank my birth parents for me.
Granny May: I will, my child. Bless you and may you have a happy life.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks. I love you.
Granny May: Love you too, my child.
Wordgirl/Becky: And tell my birth parents that I love them too.
Granny May: They know you do.
(She then disappears and Becky returns to bed.)
Tobey: Are you ok?
Wordgirl/Becky: Never better, Tobey. Never better. I love you.
Tobey: I love you too.
(Miss Power is gone forever out of their lives. Granny May and Wordgirl's birth parents will make sure of it.)
The End…
