Violet and Tony

Violet walked for miles. During her walk, she cursed, cussed, imprecated Michael for who he is and what he did. Never in so long has she felt this angry. The last time she was this tempestuous, she almost killed Dash for hiding and reading her diary. But at the same time of hating and loathing Michael, she got this feeling of sorriness and sadness when both went their separate ways.

"Don't get so hard on yourself Violet." she thought. "You know Michael is just a big jerk. He got what he deserved. . . but was it really worth it? I mean, all that fighting and for what? I mean, I was beating that guy till the point to where he couldn't get up. . . and that felt good. . . but why did I stop? Why do I get this feeling of regret? I should be happy that I'm away from him. Why am I feeling this way?"

Questions swirled through Violet's mind. While trying to find an answer, she came to the house of the one person whom she knows she can trust. She went up to the door and knocked on it. Seconds later, Tony Rydinger answered it. He looked at Violet. She was wearing her purple/violet super suit, but she had her mask off.

"Violet. . . hi. . . what are you doing here?"

"Tony, my family got kidnaped. Mom, dad, and Dash were taken way by this freak named Mastermind."

Tony immediately walked over to Violet and started to embrace her. She also wrapped her arms around him.

"My God Vi. That's terrible. But, what about Michael?"

"Oh, him." Violet glared down at the ground.

"What is it? Is everything okay?"

"Well. . . not really." Violet quickly changed the subject. "So Tony, I don't have any place to stay tonight. I mean, I don't feel safe sleeping by myself in my house. So. . . is it okay with you that I spend the night at your house? Please?"

Violet started blinking and making her eyes all cute. Tony sighed. He could never resist that cute look of Violet. Tony ushered his girlfriend inside. Afterwards, he closed the door behind him.

"Are you hungry Violet?" he asked. She nodded. "Okay, I'll heat up some pizza in the fridge."

Tony went into the kitchen. He took about three slices of pizza and placed it on a plate. Tony put it in the microwave. After a minute, the pizzas were nice and warm. He laid it on the table and Violet started eating. Finally, she finished. Tony took her empty plate and threw in the trash.

"Thank you Tony."

Yeah, anything for you Violet. Anything for you." A moment of silence followed after that. Violet and Tony gazed into each other's eyes. Violet slowly advanced towards tony. She leaned forward. They were about to kiss. Suddenly, the phone rang. Tony and Violet sighed. Tony picked up the phone.

"Hello? Oh hi mom. . . what. . . oh really. . . okay. . . yeah, sure I'll be fine. . . yes I know the rules, don't blow up the house and don't get killed. . . yes. . . okay. . . bye."

"What was that about?" Violet wondered.

"My parents aren't coming home til tomorrow. So I'm staying here by myself. . . I mean, with you." He answered.

"Do your parents always do this?"

"Well yeah. They don't really care what happens to me as long as the house is in perfect condition, and I'm okay."

Violet laughed. "Lucky you. I get extremely overprotective parents." Tony joined in the laugher. Soon, the noise started to die down.

"So, you wanna watch TV?" Tony wondered.

"That sounds nice." replied Violet.

The couple walked over to Tony's family room. They both planted themselves together on a very comfortable couch. Tony found the remote and turned the TV on. The two cuddled each other while they browsed through channels, looking for something good. Unfortunately, they didn't find anything good.

"You don't mind that we just watch the news?" asked Tony. "That's what I do when nothing good is on."

"Really? That's weird, so do I!"

Tony turned it to the news station.

"In other news, the fabulous family of Supers, The Incredibles, once again performed a heroic deed. This family of Supers saved a bus full of passengers and their driver from a plunge into the water. But that's not the real story. Shortly after that, the two siblings, Valor and Invisigirl started a huge fight that shocked all of Metroville. As you can see in this footage, the two Supers battled it out in the streets of Metroville. People are unknown of the cause of such dispute."

The TV showed scenes of Valor fighting Invisigirl. It showed scenes like the part where they were having a vicious weapon fight, when Valor thrust his V Sword into a wall, Valor bashing his sister's force field, and the part where Invisigirl pummeled her. Suddenly, during the part where both Supers got up and parted their separate ways, Violet turned the TV off. She later crossed her arms and glared down at her boots. Tony slowly turned his head towards Violet.

"Uh. . . Violet. . . is there something you wanna tell me?"

She was silent for a full five minutes. Finally, she muttered, "Tony, can we just take a walk to the park? I'll explain you everything along the way."

Sure Violet." he answered. He got up off the couch and got his jacket. He was about to leave when he saw Violet still sitting on the couch. She was staring at her boyfriend.

"Tony, haven't you forgotten that I'm a Super? I can't be seen in public with you in my super suit. It's dangerous. You know what I mean?"

Tony nodded and understood. Being with her in public would make him a perfect target for Invisigirl's enemies. Tony rushed to his parents room and raided the closet. He found a very large coat the belonged to her mom. He went down stairs. And gave Violet the coat. She tried it on. It was big enough to cover her super suit. She walked out the door with Tony. They walked over to a nearby park, which was ten minutes away. The walk over there was quiet. Both Violet and Tony didn't say a word to each other. Once they got to the park, they sat down on a bench. Violet remembered this park well. It was the same place that hosted a series of events like where she first met Nightmare, when Tony got abducted, where she first got acquainted with Michael, and where she had the final fight against Nightmare. Yes, Violet's favorite hangout spot with Tony brought back a lot of memories. Both gazed at the full moon above them. Finally, Tony spoke.

"What's going on Vi? You and Michael are. . . you know, very close. You two are family. What made you guys act this way?"

Violet told the whole story. She explained to him that during a robbery, she accidentally made him crash into a building. When she and her family got home, they all had a family conversation. That made everyone feel better. The next day, her family made a brave and daring rescue. Shortly after that, a villain named Mastermind came and took her family away. She and Michael tried to stop him, but she ended up failing. She later got into a huge brawl with Michael.

". . . and during that brawl, I pummeled him so ruthlessly, but something stopped me. I turned and ran and that's just about it. God, I hate him so much! I really do!" Violet concluded.

"Violet, what I don't get is. . . why are you two fighting each other?" said a perplexed Tony. "You two have been friends ever since you met. I mean, I never thought I'd see the day where you two would turn against each other."

"Well, it happened Tony. And I'm actually glad he is out of my life."

"Don't say that Violet." Tony was shocked to hear. "I know deep down in your heart, you don't really mean that."

"Yes I do mean it. I hate him, I hate him, I HATE HIM!" Violet declared. "And to think. I had one opportunity to rid him out of my life forever. I was buffeting and battering on him so hard and so ruthlessly, I almost killed him."

"Then why did you stop?" Tony wondered. "If you do hate him Violet, and you so wanted to kill him, why didn't you do it?"

"Because. . . because. . ."

"You don't hate him Violet. I know deep down inside, you really care for him, and you don't want him to get hurt or killed."

"I don't know Tony. Maybe you're right. I'll have to think about this for a while. "

Suddenly, there was a violet earthquake. Both teens stumbled and fell to the ground. Out of nowhere, a large drill rose up out of the earth. Suddenly, a very small man rose up out of the drill.

"The Underminer!" Both teens gasped.

At once, robots emerged from the drill. They marched over to Violet and Tony. Hastily, Violet threw away the oversized coat and placed on her mask. Tony got into a fighting stance. The robots encircled the couple.

"Ready Violet?"

"Yeah Tony. Let's do this."

Slowly, the robots advanced towards the two teens.
