WHOOPERS! I love you people! Thank you for the two wonderful reviews. Now let's get on with the chase!
I still like SpongeBob!
"So, let me get this straight," said Dash. "WE are going to see AUNT STACIE and MAYME in L.A."
"Yep," said Helen.
The Parr's and the Harrison's (that was Stacie's last name when she got married) had made a plan for them to meet each other in Stacie favorite place in the world, L.A., so that the families could see each other again.
"This is gonna be good," said Violet.
Violet's date had just ended. She and Tony went to the same movie they did on the first date, same theater, same time, and Violet bough the popcorn again. Only one thing was different. They had their first kiss together. It was a two-in-one night for her. Vi was in dreamland. And she was saying everything was gonna be good. Even high school, which she did not look forward to at all. But she did do something she knew she shouldn't have. She was also in terror world.
Bob was excited too. He remembered how much fun it had been at super-school and stuff like that. Him, Helen, Stacie, Todd (Stacie's late husband), Honey, and Lucious were all friends. And it was actually funny, because everybody had paired off by the end of the year. And then... "Oh, crap." He had cut through a plate.
Helen stared at her husband. Not again. And he really shouldn't be saying crap. "Honey, don't say crap. Vi, could you pass the potatoes?" There was silence. "Vi?"
Violet had just gotten out of dreamland/terror world. "What? Oh, yeah, potatoes. They're good. Yummy."
"No, PASS them."
"Oh, right."
Dash just slapped his forehead, thinking how dumb his sister was.
"Vi," said Helen. "Your date was either horribly wrong or so amazing you can't even stand it. A or B?"
"C."
"What happened?" asked Bob.
"Dad!" Violet didn't want her father to be in her business.
"Violet!" Helen wanted to know what was happening in her daughter's life.
"Helen!" If Bob was rejected, she would be to.
"Bob!" Oh, no she wouldn't.
"Violet!" Dash said mockingly.
"Dash!" Violet got a little hot headed.
"A ga bolo!" Jack-Jack was doing his own little thing.
"OKAY FINE!" yelled Violet. "I TOLD TONY I WAS A SUPER!"
The family just stared at her. Dash smacked his forehead. Bob shook his head. Helen looked down at her food. Jack-Jack was still doing his own little thing.

The next morning, Helen was reading the news paper. The kids were at a friend's house (you know those times when there're two people in the family who are friends with two people in another same family) and Bob was at work. She was reading the Life section first, seeing how it had the most information about her and her family. "Mrs. Incredible is Elastigirl". She knew that would come up. The press had asked her yesterday.
Nothing else about the super-family was in the paper, so she read the front. And right there, in huge, bold, black letters, read this. "LESS PEOPLE LEANING TOWARDS SUPERS".
And with that, she just froze.

Bob was having a difficult day at work. The worst part was the field trip that some kids at Parkway Elementary had taken. They ruined his desk. It was already ruined enough. And to make matters worse, the boss came up and gave him a lecture about how a real worker had to keep his desk tidy. After what seemed like an hour, when it was really only five minutes, the boss went on about how he was becoming worthless compared to the other. He told him to pack his things and go.

The whole day, both husband and wife were panicking, thinking What the heck should I tell them? Will they take it the right way? Turns out, both of them did.
Bob was first, because Helen suspected it right away. He was home early.
"Hey, honey." He kissed his wife on the cheek.
"Why are you home early?"
"They, uh, gave me the rest of the day off! Yeah."
"Did they give you just the day off? Or the rest of your life off?"
Bob was scared to tell her, but he had to. "I got fired."
"Oh, honey. Things will get better, I promise. There're better jobs in the world anyways."
"Yeah, like being a super. I mean, it's still a split decision."
"Uh," Helen wasn't as scared as he was, but "Read the paper." Was all she could say.
I need more reviews!
Yeah, the ending sucked. I know.
