Hey! I just got back from school to announce that we are having spirit week! WOO! Good news: There's a super-hero day and I'm going to be Elastigirl because I have pretty much the exact same hair as her. Bad news: I can't find a costume that fits. TO THE DISNEY STORE! And second bad news, a guy that's really annoying may be Mr. Incredible which would without a doubt would SUCK.
Rehearsal was horrible. Every single second, Helen was thinking about what David had said earlier. No, she wasn't gonna fall in love with him. But the worst part was when Bob came up to Helen during their break at school. He said he was sorry for what happened IN SEVENTH GRADE.
"Well, god, it took you five years."
"Yeah, I just haven't gotten a real chance to see you again."
"A real chance?"
"Yeah."
Helen raised an eyebrow. "You've had five years just to apologize. And here you're telling me you haven't gotten a chance? Oh, let me guess. You still think I'm hott and you want me to go out with you. Is that right?"
Bob thought about how she had just said that. "How did you-"
"The instinct of a woman."
"Right. Well, let me tell ya, it wasn't exact, so it's not as good as how hott you are." He walked away right there.
"I DON'T FORGIVE YOU!"
----------
"Why do you like her? She hates you."
"That's kind of what I like about her, Lucious."
"Well, here's some advice. Stay away. She is vicious. Hott, yes, but vicious. I don't like her too much."
"She's really hott, man. I don't know what I can do about it."
"Well, you've been hitting on her for quite some time, dude."
"Yep. I just can't help it."
"Let's not forget what happened in 7th grade."
"I don't think I ever will."
"She'll never forgive you. Just ask if you can call a truce."
"I already did."
"Then I can't think of anything."
"Maybe you shouldn't. I'll try it again."
----------
"HOLY CRAP HELEN! LOOK AT THIS!"
Somehow David's voice sounded not very good.
"DAVID! What happened?"
"Look at that monster."
There was a huge mutated monster on the TV, obviously going after the small town that Helen, Stacie, and David lived in.
"That is pretty huge. And ugly. Why would he invade Fenwood?"
"I dunno. Maybe he's a rival of mom."
"Maybe."
"Think about this, Helen. We are going to be just like mom, saving the world. So, what do you think my name should be?"
"DAVID! It should be something like Kracatoa or something. We have a while before we become educated supers."
"We only have until we're 24, and we're 17 right now. Stacie 18."
"Stacie doesn't have super-powers."
"She might have them soon."
"Somehow, I don't believe you. We're only half supers. Stacie may never get her powers. But guess what, other than us, there are no supers in this town."
"I suspect that Bob guy. You know, your boyfriend."
"Oh, god, he is not my boyfriend. I hate him."
"He doesn't hate you. Maybe you should make a truce or something."
"I already like somebody."
This was true. Helen had a virtual friend on the internet. He was a super because the chat rooms were for super-school students only. If you knew you were going to go there, then you would have a screen name. Somehow, she had a crush on him. She didn't know how, but she did.

Aw, crap. I forgot to tell you that David is Helen and Stacie's brother. He'll be explained in chapter ten of People of the Past. I have a few tie-ins. Pretty cool, right? You know what? That guy just may be the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four because he has bright red hair. Let's hope to god he is for my sake. PLEASE, GOD, DON'T LET HIM BE MY HUSBAND!
Woah, that took five pages in a word document. I'm good!
