At HQ, the Loonatics were just hanging out. However, Phoebe was in her room on her cell phone, trying to call someone very important. The phone didn't pick up, so Phoebe left a message.

"Dad? Hello? Anyone there? Please pick up..."

Phoebe gave up and flopped herself on the bed, feeling disappointed.

She tried again after an hour, but again, her dad did not pick up.

"Daddy, please! Talk to me...please..."

She waited for a long moment. "I know that you are there." she thought. "You just don't want to talk to me. Can't blame you though."

She gave up and hung up the phone.

"Maybe he really isn't there," she thought. "Maybe he got a new number or something."

She sighed and laid in bed.

The gang was eating breakfast at the table, meanwhile, Phoebe was on the couch, feeling depressed.

"Phoebe!" Tech called. "Are you sure that you don't want some breakfast? It will fill you up in no time."

"No." She did not sound like herself at all. She wasn't the happy, enthusiastic fashionista that the gang knew and love.

"Hmm, there's obviously something wrong with her." Lexi told them. "She's not that hyper, little drama queen that we know and love."

"Eh, I-guess-I'll-go-talk-to-her." said Rev.

Rev got up and went to the couch.

He gulped. "Here it goes..."he thought.

"Hey-Phoebe-what's-the-matter-huh-anything-you-wanna-tell-me?"

"I'm fine." she said, weakly.

"No-you're-not-'fine'-because-you-need-to-put-a-smile-on-that-face-or-I-swear-I'll..."

Rev read the expression on her face and could tell that she didn't want to be bothered.

He got up and went back to the table and shrugged.

"Oh, for Pete's sakes." Duck turned over to Phoebe. "For crying out loud, Toots, smile and snort like you usually do!"

"Duck!" Everyone shouted.

"What are you, stupid? That's no way to talk to her!" Lexi told him. She got up and sighed. "I'll go talk to her."

Lexi knelt down next to her. "Phoebe, please talk to me. You can tell me anything just like I tell you everything."

Phoebe sighed and got up. "Follow me."

"Yeah, I doubt that Queen of Sheba would be able to..."

Duck saw that the two girls were leaving the room.

"And that's the power of Girl Power." said Ace.

The girls were out in the hallway.

"Alright you wanna know why I'm so down?"

Lexi nodded.

"It was long before I was even born. My dad was a wealthy CEO, meanwhile, my mom was a singer from the streets. They both met at my mom's gig, one day. That day, they fell completely in love with each other. It didn't take long for them to have the wedding of their dreams and have a baby, which was me. The three of us were the happiest family alive."

"When I was seven, my mom became sick and began having serious medical conditions. She later passed away."

"Even with just the two of us, however, me and my Dad still managed to be a family. We learned that even with Mom gone, she is still with us in spirit. Me and my dad became best friends, but even after all of the fun times that we spent together, he still felt somewhat lonely."

"It was then that a woman named Isis, came in our lives. She and my dad met at our favorite restaurant to eat in. Of course, they fell in love, and my dad got married again. Isis does seem like a nice lady. However, I don't exactly trust her."

"My dad started to pay less attention to me and more attention to Isis. However, I did not let that bother me. Designing and making clothes became a new hobby of mine. It also became my new best friend. I then applied for a job at the 'LeCher Fashion Industry'. There was one day, when our friendship just completely disappeared."

"Phoebe!" her dad called. "Where are you going, young lady?"

"I'm going to the fashion show for my job."

"A job? You didn't tell me that you had a job."

"Of course, I did." she said. Phoebe shrugged. "I guess you were ignoring me when I was trying to tell you."

"Why do you have a bunch of these clothes?"

"Dad, these are my designs. They're gonna be worn by famous fashion models. Then the people of the Fashion Institute would see, and they would grant me a full scholarship to be a student at their college. Aren't you proud? I mean, I thought you would be...never mind." She turned around and walked to the door.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you did not tell me about this at all, pumpkin."

"Well, I did tell you. You just don't listen."

"Hey, you don't have to be rude, Phoebe. I am your father."

"Really? You're my father? I don't think so." Phoebe turned to walk away.

"Phoebe! You turn around and listen to your father right now!"

She turned around with tears in her eyes. "Why should I? You never listen to me, even when I wanted you to. You didn't even know that I have a job! That's how bad this is! We used to be best friends until Isis came along. Ever since she came in our lives I've been nothing to you but some girl who lives in this house! Well, I'm gonna get that scholarship and I'm gonna leave you two alone. You two deserve each other!"

"Wait, wait, honey, please." He knelt down and looked up to her, eye-to-eye. "Don't be like that. Please, Phoebe, please. Isis may not be someone that you like, but you two will get along. In fact, you two will be best friends."

Phoebe was shaking her head. "You're missing the point." she whispered. "You're MISSING THE POINT!" she got up to open the door.

"YOU'RE BEING DISRESPECTFUL AND I DO NOT LIKE IT!" he yelled. "WHEN YOU GET HOME, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A HUGE DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS. DO YOU HEAR ME? AND YOU WILL LEARN TO GET ALONG WITH ISIS."

"YEAH, TRY NEVER!" she yelled back, and then she slammed the door.

"And that was the last time I saw and spoke to him, because that day was also the day that the meteor hit Acmetropolis and gave us all powers. Since then, I had such a hard time contacting him because I was afraid that he would not accept me as his daughter. It's been a year and last week I thought it would be a good idea to tell him. However, he hasn't been picking up the phone."

"I don't know if he changed his number or moved out or whatever but I feel that I've waited too long, Lexi. I think that I'm too late."

Phoebe began to burst into tears.

"Oh, come here." Lexi embraced her into a hug and rubbed her back, shushing her.

"Wait, Phoebe! How about we go check out your house to see if he's there. I'll go with you if you want."

"You think so?"

"Yeah, it's worth a shot!"

Phoebe hesitated for a few seconds. "Okay, tomorrow we'll do it."

The two girls walked to the Victorian mansion. Phoebe's heart was beating fast. "Please be there, daddy." she thought. "And if you are, please love me again."

Lexi on the other hand, was shocked.

"You live here?" she asked. "You were rich?"

"It doesn't matter. I gotta see my dad, like now."

"Wow, this is like a castle. It's great!" said Lexi.

Phoebe smiled. "I'll tell you what. If things goes A-Okay between us, then you can visit some time."

"Really? That would be sweet!"

The girls went up the porch steps. Phoebe looked at his set of cars.

"Well, all of his cars are here, so he has to be here as well."

Phoebe rang the doorbell and waited a few seconds. No response. Phoebe's heart was beating even faster. She rang the doorbell again. Still no response.

Lexi shrugged. "Could he be at work possibly?"

"He works on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and today is Tuesday, so he has to be home..."

The girls waited a few seconds. Still no response. Phoebe became mad. "Okay that's it..."

Lexi's eyes turned pink. "Want me to brain blast this door?"

"No wait!" Phoebe stopped her. Phoebe knelt down and got a small brass key from under the doormat. "I got a spare key, Lexi."

Phoebe opened the door, with a gasp of shock. The whole place seemed to be torn apart. All of the expensive china, the plants, and the vases were all broken on the floor. The wallpaper was ripped up. Everywhere seemed trashed apart. Phoebe bursted into tears. "Oh, no..."

Lexi placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's gonna be okay, Phoebs."

"Dad!" she called, running up the stairs.

"Phoebe!" Lexi called.

Phoebe checked in all of the rooms, calling for her father, but he was nowhere in sight. However, something suspicious came about.

In the master bedroom, where him and her stepmother Isis sleep, was immaculate. The bed was spread perfectly and not one item seemed out of place. There was also a big piece of technology on the bed.

"What's that?" asked Lexi.

Phoebe shook her head. "I have no idea. But we're gonna find out..."
