"I'm bored," Sam whined, lying down on the Shay's couch.
Freddie didn't respond, and kept watching the T.V.
"Yo, Benson. I said I was bored!"
"Shhh, Sam, I'm watching this."
"Okay, you've got to be kidding me," Sam laughed, looking at the screen. "This is too nerdy, even for you."
Freddie was watching a movie about a superhero that was currently battling his archenemy over a pit of boiling lava.
"What? This is Fusion Man! He's got all sorts of cool superpowers and he saves the world…okay, fine, it's nerdy."
"Eh, the villain seems alright," Sam shrugged, sitting up. "At least he's using his powers to try to take over the world and stuff. I mean, what's the point of being able to fly if you're just going to try to save everyone."
Freddie rolled his eyes. "What, is that what you would do if you had super powers? Try to take over the world?"
"Not right away," she explained, as if she had been thinking about this for a long time. "First I would get a nice following so I would have unlimited support; you know, help out the president, save a tree here and there, that sort of chiz. But then, when everyone least expected it, they would have to bow down to me."
"Well thank God you don't have powers then," Freddie laughed. "But you know you wouldn't be a super villain, Sam."
"Yes I would."
"Nope. You're not that bad. You're mean, sure, but you wouldn't actually hurt anyone."
She punched him in the arm. "Oh, wouldn't I?"
"You know what I mean."
"So you think I would be a superhero?"
"Actually, I planned on making you my sidekick."
"What? First of all, since when do you have powers?"
"If you get to imagine yourself with powers than so do I."
"The only power you would have would be the power to bore everyone to death with your tech talk."
"Nah, I'm thinking I could handle super strength pretty well."
"Pfft. Please. I can still beat you in arm-wrestling, Benson."
"Yeah, but it takes you longer now."
"Point is I can still beat you, which means that you would be my sidekick."
"Yeah, right," Freddie scoffed. "Besides, if I did have super strength, then I could beat you."
"I'll believe that when I see it."
"Fine, when we're both hit by some sort of radioactive comet, we'll arm-wrestle and see who wins. Loser has to be the others sidekick, deal?"
"Deal." And they shook on it.
When they both tried to reasonably explain this bet to Carly when she got home, she simply shook her head.
"Really, is this what you two do when I'm gone?"
