Courtney Whitmore scowled as she ate toast in the living room. She remained on the sofa and attempted to focus on the Yankee Poodle Show. Anything to cause her to forget. Her parents divorcing. Her mother working late. She bit into her toast.
''Mom forgot to buy butter again,'' Courtney muttered.

Stargirl heard the sounds of cop car sirens.
Minutes later, Stargirl walked into a kitchen. She searched for something to eat and opened the refrigerator door. The sight of the empty refrigerator was why she frowned. She shut the door and went to several kitchen cabinets. Empty. A small box? Plenty of bread.
Stargirl's eyes settled on a toaster.
Shoulders slumped.
