(Tobey's pov):
I must admit not wrecking havoc with my robuts has been...more tolerable than i originally expected. At first even i, Toby Mccalister the Third, doubted myself but it seems Mccalisters are made of stronger mettle than that. Helping people with my robuts was like i had stepped into an alternate dimension . Or rather created a paradox where in order to win the heart of my beloved Wordgirl and end this war between us i must first battle an inner war whose result is me waving the metaphotocal white flag at Becky. That was the hardest part, admitting defeat.
But by Jove am i glad i did. People were no longer glaring at me on the streats , why some of them even smiled. For my 'heroic' acts of saving the ice cream manager's cat from the tree ( with my robuts) i now could order one free ice cream for an entire weak..Too bad i had no one to share ice cream with.. but even then reuniting the lost little girl with her mother ( who fainted at seeing her child on the shoulder of a giant robut) felt... strangely good. And mother was so proud of me...even Becky gave me encouraging smiles in the classrom. Although she was as mute to me as The little mermaid when she had traded her voice for legs.
Today at class a spelling contest was going to be organized.
You will surely win Becky, you are very good at spelling, sayd Violet
Wow, you really think so Violet? asked Becky
As if, Beckface. Everyone knows i'm the best and that includes spelling bees, Sayd Victoria infuriatingly.
I couldn't help but interject:
Oh, please the only thing you're good at being the best is being second best. Besides, everyone knows Becky's skills at spelling are unparalled.
Becky blushed a delightfully red colour..and then
Becky, what does unparalled mean? Violet asked
Oh, it means having no parallel or equal., someyhing being exceptional..and thanks Tobey for your kind compliment.
Merely making a true statement, i sayd while laughing unbothered by Victoria's glare.
Wow Tobey you and Becky seen to like each other, why don't you date? sayd that sly wolf in sheep's qlothing.
Becky gasps.
Perhaps you do have some grey matter in your pretty, little head, I shoot back at Victoria.
Just before taking her magical flute to hypnotize us Mrs Davis steps in and sayd no lyrically compelling powers or she's disqualified. It feels good to combate evil.
Later at my house i was ambushed by...not quite what i expected. Doctor two brains, Lady Redundant Woman, the Butcher and granny May.
Kid, we were wondering, Doctor two brains started, why you missed three consecutive villain's conventions.
We heard some unplsasant news about you young man, granny May sayd.
That is to say we heard bad, no good, dreadful news, Tobey., added Lady Redundant Woman.
And we were worried about you sayd the Butcher. The others nodded.
Well you see about those news ( i couldn't back down now) thy're absolutely true ! I put my villainous past behind me and now i am working with Wordgirl to clean this city of injustice...but since we'll old friends i'll give you a ten minuts headstart ( i tell them, hoping they'll go and i wouldn't have to battle as i still cared about them).
We all went outside for some fresh air ( to ease the tention)
Two brains looks concerned: Have you hit your noggin on something hard lately kid? You're throwing away your entire future for a silly school boy crush on Wordgirl.
I'm not throwing it away, i 'm preserving it!
The others semned surprised at me standing my ground and are likely taking it as youthful insolence. These criminal associations are like mobster families and their corrupt activities are like a religion...i will soon be excommunicated from it.
What does preserving mean? asks the butcher
Just as i was about to answer him an entertained, beautiful voice answered from above my house.
I can define that. Preserving means to keep safe from injury, harm or destruction. And today that won't happen to you, Wordgirl says and easily defeats the villains with the help of my robuts who as instructed act only defensive not offensive and protect Wordgirl. After the fight is over and my old friends are in jail Becky zooms back to me and says:
Good job, Tobey. I am very proud of you. After that she says shyly:
Want to go to get an ice cream togetter?
Yes. My dreams were coming true!
