I don't own Wordgirl. Seriously.
Why was Mrs. Botsford so nice to me?
Star thought as she looked up at her ceiling. She was in the guest room at the Botsford house lying on the bed. The room was mostly a light blue, with splashes of dark green here and there. Star couldn't understand why Becky's adoptive mother was so caring towards her. She had figured that if they knew they'd hate her. She was weak, right? That's what her father told her. The beatings only seemed to prove it. Shouldn't Sally at least be angry that they sent someone so weak to protect her daughter? Star was so confused. She couldn't stop thinking about the talk they had.
And why in the world did I lie to her? All my life I wanted someone to talk to about the pain, but when she said I could talk to her, I told her I was fine! Why?
Star got out of bed. She walked over to the window, hoping some fresh air might clear her head. However, it only put more worries into it. It was only around 6 am, and there was a little sunlight now although not much, but there was a dark haired boy and a blond girl outside the house. They were just standing on the sidewalk looking up at Becky's window. They seemed harmless enough, although it was hard for Star to ignore them, since she was a little more than a little over protective of her baby sister. She slept in her day clothes, so she just walked out of the bedroom and to the front door. She opened it slightly to see who these people were and why they were outside the Botsford house.
"Hello?"
She said, more like asked, the two. They seemed startled to see her at the door, but spoke calmly anyway.
"Hi, I'm Todd Ming, but you can call me Scoops, reporter for the Daily Rag, and this is my friend, Violet."
The 'Violet', who was petting a little kitten she had in her arms, spoke up with a very soft,
"Hello, it's so nice to meet you!"
Then 'Scoops' spoke up again, talking quickly and confidently.
"Any ways, so we and Becky made plans to go birdwatching today, so we just came over to see if she was ready!"
He seemed sincere enough, and they were just kids so she figure that they deserved the benefit of the doubt. Star said that she would go ask Becky, and so she left the two children outside(just because they were given the benefit of the doubt, doesn't mean that they could be trusted) and went upstairs to talk to her sister.
"Becky?*quiet noise from Becky's bed* there are two kids outside waiting for you to go birdwatching."
Each word Star said made Becky more and more alert, so Star continued.
"They said their names are Scoops and Violet?"
At the end of the sentence there was no part of Becky that was sleepy. She jumped up, then rushed around using superspeed without so much as an explanation to Star, who stood confused in the doorway. Finally(meaning after 9 seconds), Becky rushed out her bedroom door to the front door. By the time Star got down there at normal speed, Becky was already letting the two kids in.
"Becky, what are you doing?!"
Star said through her teeth, suddenly panicked. Becky was confused for a moment, wondering why her sister was so on edge, until the sad truth dawned on her. Star didn't know anyone on Earth and was practically trained not to trust anyone. Becky cleared her throat before explaining.
"Star these are my friends, Scoops and Violet, who I know you've already met. Scoops and Violet, this is my sister, Star."
Becky's friends were confused for about half a second before realization dawned on them.
"Do you mean a sister from Lexicon? That is so amazing!"
Violet said, very slowly and soft… Again. Star was confused as to why these two normal Earth children knew the secret, but Becky's family had had no clue. Her confusion must have been noticeable, because Becky explained quickly,
"Well, Star they have known I'm Wordgirl since, well, Scoops saw me when the bunny lovers invaded because of Mr. Big, and Violet has known since Rhyme and Reason."
Star nodded in understanding before telling Becky not to be too long. Or go to far. Or talk to strangers. She nearly went on and on except Becky stopped her and reminded her of her 'superhero' status. Star said okay and that she'd let them go have fun and explain to the Botsfords where they were off to. Then, as she watched Becky leave with such childlike innocence with her friend, she fully planned to follow them to the park and watch over her little sister.
It was her job.
