Violet Parr closed her locker door and turned, surprised to see Bryan Thomas there. "Hey there Vi," said he, before heading off to another direction. Violet smiled to herself, she couldn't believe that she was actually talking to Bryan! For months, she tried to have a decent conversation with him, but she often got too nervous that she kept turning invisible without her knowing it. Now, after she had accepted the fact the she is one of the "supers" and cannot be one of the normal kids at school, she became more comfortable with her powers and she has now learned to control them.

"Hello Violet!" said a high-pitched voice behind her. She didn't need to see who it was, "What's up Lily?" she said to her best friend, Lily Adams.

"Oh, nothing much... So, wanna go to the movies later?" asked she.

"Oh, I can't," Violet groaned, "I have to help my mom clean the house."

"Oh, too bad then, Bryan's gonna be there. I guess I'll have him all to myself."

Violet glared at her friend. Even though they were very close to each other, Lily often does things that just simply annoy Violet, especially if it's about Bryan, whom they were both crushing on for the longest time.

Tall, blond-haired and popular, Lily was often the life of the party. She's the kind of girl that makes everyone's head turn whenever she walks by, while she, Violet, looks too plain and boring…or so she thinks.

The bell rang, and the halls emptied of students. Violet found herself alone in the corridors and she ran towards her classroom. Oh great, she thought, late again, if only I were Dash, I'd never have these kinda problems. When she finally reached the doors, she looked at the small window to see what the class was doing. Then, she concentrated on making herself invisible. Slowly, her fingertips became transparent, and it spread to her arms, then to her whole body. Her clothes became transparent too, thanks to Edna, the genius behind her "superoutfit".

When she was finally completely invisible, she opened the door a crack and slipped inside. Good thing they were all concentrated on their math problems, so it will be easier for her to sneak in. She sat in her chair, still invisible, and waited for the teacher to turn to the blackboard. Then, when she thought that it was safe, she let herself be seen once again.

She looked around her, and nobody seemed to notice that she was suddenly there. The teacher turned to face the class and she was most surprised. "Violet?" said she, "I didn't see you come in."

"Oh Miss Walters, I have been here all along," answered she, thinking up of an excuse, "I just went to the bathroom for a while, so that's probably why you didn't see me," she added with a smile.

"Oh, well then, go get a paper and pencil, and solve the problems on the board," said she, although she didn't seem that convinced.

Helen Parr, Violet's mother, had just come home from a day's shopping. Carrying her grocery bags in one arm and baby Jack-Jack in the other, she still managed to open the door, thanks to her powers. She then set the bags on the table while Jack-Jack suddenly transformed into stone, and back to himself again.

Helen smiled to herself, obviously proud of her son. He's finally showing signs of being a "super", just like the rest of her family. He's some sort of shape shifter, she said to herself. She only hoped that he can learn how to control his powers before he starts going to preschool. She opened one grocery bag, and got a can of tuna out. Stretching her arm beyond what any normal human can do, she reached for the cupboard at the far end of the room.

Finally, Violet thought to herself. She quickly got out of her seat and headed for the door, glad that school was over. Then again, she wasn't really looking forward to cleaning the house with her mother. She stopped at the drinking fountain, thirsty, when she thought she heard someone step up behind her. Thinking that somebody was waiting in line to get a drink of water, she sped up. She turned around to see who it was.

She was surprised to see Bianca, a really small girl who usually never said a word during class, nor does she socialize with others. "I know about you," she whispered.

"Huh? Know about what?"

"I saw you today. I saw what you did," she said in a creepy voice, then, she turned and walked away.

Violet just stood there, confused. What is that girl saying? She thought, then again, Bianca has always been labeled as "the weirdo", so she just shrugged it off and headed to her locker.

Meanwhile, Dash, her brother, was sitting in his chair, waiting for the class to be over. As the clock kept ticking, he continued to be more and more restless, so he took out a straw and a piece of paper. Like his sister, Dash has powers too, his being super speed. He can move so quickly that normal people often don't see him. In a flash, he aimed at the teacher and a spitball hit him at the back of the head. No body else seemed to notice, until the teacher started yelling.

"Who did this to me?!" he roared. Everyone else was tense, nervous, while Dash tried hard not to burst out laughing. As the teacher came closer, Dash quickly hid the straw. "Dash!" he roared again, "I knew it was you! Principal's office! Now!"

"But I didn't do anything!" Dash protested, The bell rang, signaling the end of the class. "Gotta go!" Dash said, and in a split second, he was out the door. Too bad the teacher wasn't quick enough to catch him.

Violet was on the way home, when Lily caught up with her. "Hey Vi, are you sure that you can't come later?" asked she.

"Yes. I'm sure… and you just had to rub it in, didn't you?"

"Oh, I don't know…too bad, I'll be alone with Bryan then," she replied.

"Keep away from him Lily, he's mine!" Answered Violet, and continued to walk home. "Oh I know," said Lily, "Let's make a bet!"

Violet raised an eyebrow, "And, what kind of bet?"

"Oh, um, let's see…Bryan has football practice tomorrow afternoon, and if you can sneak in the boys' lockers and get his underwear…I swear I'll keep my paws off of him."

Violet couldn't help but laugh at her friend, for she couldn't imagine herself stealing someone's underwear. Still, with her powers, this would be easy..not to mention fun! "Okay Lily," she said, "You're on!"
