Preparations

The next mourning, Helen wakes up Dash and Violet to get ready for school. Dash fixes his bed, brushes his teeth, packs his homework, gets changed and sprints to the kitchen. Violet packs her homework, puts on her black clothes, brushes her teeth and puts her headband on her head and heads toward the kitchen. She passes by the couch, where Sean is still sleeping happily. A smile plants on Violet's face and she heads toward the kitchen. Dash pours a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk, while Violet has French toast and some orange juice. Helen arrives at the kitchen.

"Hurry up kids, or your going to be late." Helen orders. Dash finishes first and puts his dishes on the counter. He then sees Sean stretching and getting out of his couch.

"Good Mourning, Sean." Dash greets.

"Mourning Speedo." Sean smiles. Dash gets his backpack ready and runs outside with his mom. Sean enters the kitchen and pours a cup of hot tea. He sits right net to Violet who just finished her toast.

"Good mourning, Vi." Sean said.

"Good mourning, Sean." Violet repeats. "Your lucky you won't be going to school for this week."

"I'll be busy buying my supplies, textbooks and hopefully a schedule." Sean said.

"Come on Violet. We're gonna be late." Dash screams. Violet picks up her backpack and runs out the door. Dash and Violet gets in the car and Helen drives off. Bob was about to leave when he stops. He turns to Sean.

"Son," he said "Take care of Jack-Jack while we're gone."

"How hard can that be?" Sean asks and carries Jack-Jack to the kitchen. Bob smiles and leaves for work.

Meanwhile, Helen drops Dash off first. There, he hurries to his class before the bell rang. Mr. Kropp, his teacher enters the room. As the normal routine goes, the students recite the old, stupid, useless and boring Pledge of Allegiance. Then they get out their homework and correct it. Dash receives a 100 on his homework, but when his teacher passes out tests, Dash bombs it. He got 56/100 on his math test.

"Dash, I would like to talk to you during recess." his teacher says. Dash sighs, but agrees.

The bell rang and the students sprints outside to play, leaving Dash with the teacher.

Violet arrives at Western View Junior High right on time. She heads to her first period class math. She watches as her teacher, Mrs. Attics passes out the math test from last Friday. Her teacher hands Violet her test and she reads it nervously. Her worries become tranquility when she saw her score. She has received 98/100. She is happy not only because of her grade on her test, but now she has an A- in math. This means she has As in every one class, and she can do hero work with her parents. The rest of the period was all lessons and homework until the bell rang for second period. She has P.E. next period with her teacher, Mr. Ball. First she runs around the football field. She wasn't a fast runner, but tries anyway. Next, she plays dodge ball, and she is a good doge ball player. She's not only quick, but light. She jumps over and ducks under balls. The bell rings for third period. She is on her way to English, when she bumps into her boyfriend, Tony Rydinger.

"Hi Tony." Violet says shyly.

"Hey Violet." Tony smiles. "What's been going on?"

"Oh, nothing." Violet answers. "How about you?"

"I just saw the Incredibles take out this samurai freak a couple days ago." Tony says. Violet recalls the event easily. "Another cool part is when Incrediguy made his debut with the Incredibles. But my favorite is superhero of all time is Mr. Incredible's daughter, Incredigirl. She is so awesome and so cool. Someday, I wish I can go out with her on a date. That would be so awesome." Violet begins to blush.

"Anytime you ask me out, your wish will always come true." Violet says to herself.

"Hey Vi, do you want to go to the movies with me this weekend?" Tony asks. Violet is about to answer when she looks at her watch.

"I'll think about it." she replies. "I'm going to be late for class." Violet and Tony waves good bye and heads for third period. After six hard working periods, the bell rang, which signals the students that class is over. Violet waits for her mother to pick her up. She spots Tony talking to his friends.

"Hey Tony," someone says. "Would you like to come to the mall with us this weekend?"

"I love to…" Tony replies. Violet's mouth drops. "Has Tony forgotten what he said to her? Does her boyfriend have better plans with his friends than with her? Does he want a date with Incredigirl? Violet was about to cry when he heard Tony finish his response. "…but I have a date with someone."

"With whom?" his friends ask.

"With an angel." Tony says romantically. "Her name is Violet." Violet couldn't believe what she just heard. She is called an angel. No one has ever called her an angel before. A small tear fell off her face. She stares at him and smiles.

"Come on Violet." Dash yells. Violet steps back into reality and runs toward the car.

"How's your day?" Helen asks.

"Romantic" Violet sighs.

"Tony Rydinger." Dash teases.

"Shut up you little insect." The kids fight on the way home. When they return, they see Sean playing with Jack-Jack. Dash sprints inside the house and starts on his homework. Helen carries Jack-Jack back to the house. Violet takes a couple of textbooks out of her backpack and hands them to Sean.

"This is for you." she says.

"Thanks." he said. "Did anything happen today?"

"I have an A- in math, and someone called me an angel." Violet said.

"Your boyfriend?" Violet nods.

"How long have you two been going out?" Sean asks.

"Ever since we defeated the Underminer." Violet answers. "Hey Sean, want to take a walk?"

"To where?" He asks.

"Just trust me." Sean finally agrees and follows his sister. The two walks for ten minutes until they came upon a huge mansion. They came across a huge fence with red lasers around it. "This is it." she said finally. Suddenly, a man appears on a T.V. screen.

"Do you have an appointment?" he asks. Violet and Sean looks at each other.

"Uh, no." Violet answers. "But we are just here to…"

"I'm sorry." the man interrupts, "but all visitors are required to have an appoint…" Suddenly, a small lady appears on the screen and starts pummeling him with her newspaper.

"Get back. Get out." she orders, "Do something useful like fetching me some coffee." She then turns to the children. "What is it? Who are you? What do you want?" She stares at the kids and they smile back. "By God that's the cutest thing I've ever seen." The electric fence opens up and the two walks inside into the mansion. The huge doors open up and out come Edna Mode, the fashion designer for the supers.

"Hello dahling." she greets. "How you doing today?"

"Fine E." Violet answers "Thank you."

"Very good dahling." she then turns to Sean. "Ah, and you must be Incrediguy. I heard so much about you. Brilliant, astounding, you're one of a kind."

"Thanks, uh, E." Sean said. "So what am I here for?"

"The shades," Violet points, "Gotta go when you start school."

"Are you kidding? If I take off my glasses, I'm gonna blast everything in sight, nonstop. It's out of control."

"Well I don't want everyone to say, Hey why is that kid wearing sunglasses in class? That's why we're here; we're making preparations for you."

"Ah yes." Edna says. "What basically do you have in mind?"

"Can you make some contacts for him? Something that absorb his lasers without hurting him."

"Ah, you ask too much dahling, but I accept." Edna grins. "You comeback on Friday and I will have it ready for you."

"Thanks E." Violet and Sean thanks. It is getting dark, so they hurried home. When they arrive, they can hear their mom yelling, but at Dash.

"How can you do this to us Dash?" Helen asks furiously. "Why does this have to happen? What am I going to you?"

"It's not my fault mom!" Dash argues. "All the teacher told me was…"

"SHUT UP!" Helen screams at the top her lungs. "Go to your room right now. You're grounded for TWO WEEKS!" Frightened by her mother, Dash drags himself to his room.

"I know she would never understand." Dash mumbles. "She expects me to be perfect and…" Suddenly, something hit his cheek. It was his mom's hand. She reaches across the hall and slaps her son. Dash mouth instantly closes. Violet and Sean looks at each other. Helen turns to her two eldest children and her anger lightens and she smiles.

"Congratulations to both of you." she said.

"Say what?" Violet asks.

"I'm so proud of you Violet. Your teacher called an hour ago and she wanted to complement on how well you did at math today. She said you have an A- and that's good." She kisses her daughter on the head and Violet smiles. Helen turns to Sean. "And this is for you." She hands him a piece of paper and leaves the room. Sean stares at it and knew what it was. It was his schedule for school.

"Let me see." Sean shows the paper to her sister. "Looks like you're in three of my classes." It is true. Sean has the same math, P.E. and biology class with his sister.

"Now I just need pencils, papers and some notebooks." Sean says.

"We'll get that tomorrow." Violet replies. Sean fixes his couch and gets ready for bed. Violet lays on her bed thinking. Her boyfriend, Tony Rydinger has called her an angel. "Can this get any better?" she thought. "I mean he's smart, active and cute. He thinks I'm pretty cool and really awesome. I wish I have the courage to show him that I'm Incredigirl, but how will my parents feel? If anything happens to him, I don't know what I'll do. Anyway, I can't wait till the weekend." Violet says as she silently falls asleep. The whole house was quiet and everyone was asleep, well, almost everybody.

"Look at them." a dark and evil voice says. "Weak, powerless, defenseless, how pathetic. The Incredibles have no idea what danger awaits them."

"Sir." one of his companions whispers. The whole family is together and asleep. Shall I call the troops?"

"No. We will attack on the weekend. I'll make sure every single one of the Incredibles will be busy on the night we strike. Gather your best men; we are going to have a busy week. And make sure by the weekend, I want every single one of the Incredibles out of the house. That is when we will strike."

"We got the Mr. Incredible's daughter busy on the weekend, now we jest need him, his wife and his three boys to be busy on the weekend."

"I'll have the perfect candidates that will assist us on this mission."

"Yes sir"

"Hurry, back into the headquarters before some one sees us." The mysterious man laughs and then two shadow figures disappear into the darkness.
