Thank 'yall for the positive reviews, you have NO idea how happy they make me. Sorry this is so short.
Disclaimer- I only own the computer, too many comic books, and my head. Well, I did own my head, but I lent it to a friend this week. :)
Chapter 10- Natasha and Amber
Amber sat at her desk, coloring a picture for school. Most of the picture was pink and purple, what a surprise (sarcasm!) She finished coloring, but the picture seemed to be lacking something. Sparkles, of course! She walked over to the art bin and pulled out some sparkles and glue. Carefully, she poured glue onto the page, and then dumped some sparkles on the sticky substance. Blowing away the excess, her mother walked through the door. She was holding something.
"Amber, this came for you in the mail. I have no clue who it's from. Now, finish that up so you can go to gymnastics." She handed the package to Amber, who quickly unwrapped it. Inside there was a bottle of bright pink nail polish, and a slip of paper.
What do you think? Good color for me? – BW
Amber stared at the note, very confused. Who sent the polish and note? She put it on her desk, and went to her room to get her leotard on. She put her hair in a ponytail, and got into the car.
"Hey mommy, in the little package you gave me, there was pretty pink nail polish, and a letter. It asked if I thought the nail polish looked good on the person who it was from. I don't know who sent it. Do you?"
"No, I don't know. Now, go in there and do your thing. Oh, and please tell Coach Valtress I said hi. Remember, he said if you finished you level today, he might give you those plastic guns you wanted. So go try your hardest." The mother kissed her daughter goodbye, and drove away.
A very happy little Amber walked out of a gym, smelling of chalk, two fake guns in hand. She was happy; now she could be like the Black Widow! These guns were special; if you pulled the trigger, it made a shooting noise. Amber walked outside, waiting for her mother to pick her up. She saw a squirrel, and 'shot it', satisfied with the realistic noise. As her mother pulled up, she waved the guns at her, a large smile on her face. She got into the car.
"Mommy, look at the guns! They make real noises! Now I can be like the Black Widow."
"That's great Amber. Did you perfect your beam routine?"
"Yes, I did. I almost messed up the flip part, but I did get it. I messed up the bars, but Coach said we would work on that next time."
The rest of the ride home was silent, and when they pulled into the driveway, Amber sprinted to her room. The whole thing was covered in Black Widow posters, and Amber put on some sweat pants, strapped the guns on the belt, and ran outside, a couple stuffed animals in hand. She quickly placed the animals in different locations, some up high, some in a bush, ect. She then stood in the middle of the backyard, guns in hand.
"I'll save you from the evil aliens!" she shouted, doing cartwheels on the lawn. Shooting the guns at imaginary foe, she scooped up the small fake animals, one by one. This went on for half an hour before she got tired, so she put the animals and guns back in her room.
In the kitchen, she ate a bowl of Mac and Cheese her mother made her, then proceeded to her room to read for a little bit. She loved the Magic Tree House series. As she began to read, she heard her mother calling her from the den. She put the book down, and ran into the room. Then news was on TV. She hated the news. Then something caught her eyes. The Avengers were defeating evil robots, and the Black Widow was there, fighting really well. The Black Widow's nails were pink. Bright Pink. The same nail polish color she got in the mail. She reread the note, realizing it was from the hero of her dreams. Her hero had worn pink nail polish for her!
"Hey mommy, will you paint my nails?"
"Of course."
That night, Amber couldn't sleep at all because she was too busy thinking about the Black
Widow. Now both of them had pink nails. On the other hand, Natasha Romanoff slept well, knowing she had made some little girl happy.
I know this was probably one of my weaker ones, but oh well. Please leave a review. Next update, the one most people have been waiting for, Tony and Zack!
