Chapter 10: Meeting My Idol
It was Christmas vacation at last. Two weeks with out school. Marie was so excited to not have to go to school, but she was gonna miss hanging out with her friends and seeing Kori. She was watching TV. when a commercial came on.
"Attention all Wonder Girl fans," the announcer said. Marie sat up to listen. She loved Wonder girl. "Wonder Girl is making another stop on her tour and this time it's in Jump City on December 22th all day at the youth center downtown," Marie ran into the kitchen. There was no way she wanted to miss that.
"Dad!" she yelled but stopped because Richard was on the phone. She waited for him to be done. She wanted to tell him the great news.
"I can't Marie won't be in school." Richard said. "Ok, Ok I'll do it," He said sounding annoyed. He hung up and turned to look at Marie.
"Dad guess what," Marie said.
"What Mar?" Richard asked.
"Wonder Girl is coming to town tomorrow," Marie said.
"Oh Marie, Babs just called I have to work tomorrow," Richard said sounding apologetic. "Maybe Al can take you." he said forgetting Alfred and Bruce had left to Gotham to get things ready for his annual Christmas party. /p>
"No Kori can," Marie said she grabbed the phone from the table and dialed a number.
"Hello?" Came Kori's voice.
"Hello miss- I mean Kori it's Marie," Marie said.
"Oh hello Marie,"
"I was wondering if you could take me to see Wonder Girl she's coming to town tomorrow but my dad has to work and she'll only be in town tomorrow," Marie said, she made her voice sound cute and irresistible. It worked with her dad so it had to work with Kori, right?
"I'd love to, what time should I be there?" Kori asked.
"Ten o'clock," Marie said.
"Ok see you then," Kori said.
The next day Kori and Marie were heading to see Wonder Girl. Marie was practically jumping up and down.
"Marie could you please clam down," Kori asked for what felt like the hundredth time. The girl had been bouncing ever since she picked her up from the pet shop where Richard worked.
"Sorry I'm just excited," Marie said. Kori smiled at the seven year old in the backseat. Marie was fidgeting trying to keep calm. Kori didn't blame her though. She loved Wonder Girl and was excited to meet her.
"We're here," Kori said as the car stopped. Marie was out of the car before Kori. Kori hurried after the hyper seven year old.
"Mar wait up," Kori called, Marie stopped at the end of the line Kori caught up with Marie. This was gonna be a long wait.
"Sorry," Marie said .
"How much longer?" Marie asked
"Only ten minutes," Marie recognized that voice it wasn't Kori but it was…
"Dad?" she said turning around. Richard smiled. Marie hugged him. "I thought you had to work," Marie said.
"Babs let me off it was slow at the shop," Richard said. He picked Marie up and hugged her.
"I'm glad you could make it," Marie said happily.
(15 minutes later)
Marie was next she was so happy and excited. She could hardly wait. This had been her dream for years now. She had fallen in love with the cartoon and the vioce actor who voice Wonder Girl, Donna Troy.
"Next," came a voice. Marie, Richard, and Kori walked up. Marie stopped in front of Wonder Girl. She looked at her. She was dressed like Wonder Girl. She looked exactly like her cartoon character.
"What's you're name?" Wonder Girl asked.
"Ma-Marie," Marie said, "Could you sign this?" she asked holding out the poster she had gotten at the fair.
"Sure," Wonder Girl said taking the poster. "To Marie love Wonder Girl," she said as she singed it. Marie smiled and took it back.
"Ok stand next to Wonder Girl," a person with a camera said. Marie walked over next to Wonder Girl and got her picture taken. She smiled her biggest smile.
"Ok, once you get off stage leave your name and address and we'll mail you the pictures in about a week." the cameraperson said. Richard nodded and did as he was instructed.
