Third Person P.O.V. (I noticed that in past chapter I wrote whoever's P.O.V but would then write it in third person point of view and it would not make sense for it to be Becky's point of view and then have her know things that she was not there for. Sorry for the confusion. From now on it's just going to be written from third person point of view because it just makes more sense)
In TJ's room...
We have a look into the room of TJ Botsford, Becky's younger brother who is joined by superhero...I mean normal teenage boy Rex. They were reading manga in TJ's room when Rex suddenly got a call. He quickly took it out of his pocket and swiped the green button to answer the call.
"Hello?" He said into the phone as he put down his manga and held the phone to his left ear. TJ continued to read his manga. They would hang out sometimes because TJ liked hanging out with his older sister's friends sometimes.
"Hey, Rex can you do me a favor?" It was Becky who was on the other end of the line and not Jackie. He was a bit disappointed by this but he would do anything to help out his friend and fellow superhero.
"Sure. What do you need?" Asked Rex into the phone.
"I forgot I had to return a library book I checked out almost a week ago. I was just so busy with packing and stuff. Anyways, could you find it and return it?" She asked him.
"Of course. Where did you leave the book?" Rex asked as he rolled over onto his stomach.
"That's just the thing. I don't remember if I left it in my room or in my secret hideout. I took that book everywhere with me but if it was somewhere it would be in one of those two places." She told him as she racked her brain, trying to remember the exact places where she could have left that library book.
"Is your room clean this time?" Rex asked her. There had been a couple of times where Rex went into her room and it was not very tidy so he tripped over several items before getting a nosebleed.
"I-it is. My mom made me clean it top to bottom before I left for this trip. If it's not in my room then I give you permission to check my super secret hideout." Becky told him. Suddenly he heard yelling in the background. "Got to go, Bob is trying to fight with the gas station worker over the price of a bag of chips. If you can, please let TJ help you out with the hideout. He knows it well enough to know where I might leave a library book. Bye, lots of love." Becky hung up and went to go calm down Bob.
"Wasn't that Becky on the phone just now?" Asked TJ.
"Yes." Said Rex.
"Let me guess, the only reason she called you was to have you return a library book that she forgot to return?" Asked TJ as he put down his manga long enough to raise and eyebrow at Rex.
"Surprisingly yes but, I'm pretty sure you heard all that." Rex replied with a shrug.
"Do you even know the name of the book that you need to return?" TJ asked him.
Rex opened his mouth to say something but he quickly shut it. He face palmed and groaned. He knew for a fact that Becky had mountains of books she owned in her super secret hideout, no wonder Becky told him to get TJ to help. He hoped there weren't going to be mountains of books waiting for him in Becky's room. Rex had been to the library enough times to know what to look for in a book belonging to the library.
"No, but she asked me to ask you if you could help me to look for it in the super secret hideout." Said Rex, putting emphasis on the last T.
"Are you going to need help in her room?" TJ asked Rex.
"She doesn't have a lot of books in there does she?" Asked Rex, almost whining.
"I don't think so. She usually leaves most of her books in her hideout. I'm pretty sure mom would find it weird to know that Becky owns so many books. I wouldn't be surprised if she took some of them to read on her trip." Said TJ.
Rex put his phone back into his pocket, placed the manga he was reading on TJ's desk and left to go to Becky's room. He opened the door slowly and after he entered he shut the door behind him. Using his power of flight he was able to quickly look around the room and he found that the library book was not there. He ran his hands through his hair in frustration. If it wasn't there then that would mean that it would be in the hideout. Great.
After walking out of Becky's room and closing the door behind him, Rex went to get TJ. After getting out the door and hiding behind a tree, Rex transformed into..Kid Math.
Kid Math help up TJ and together they flew to Word Girl's secret hideout. It wasn't that much of a secret anymore. Both had gotten acquainted with it in their years of knowing that Becky is Word Girl.
Quickly typing in the passcode, they both made their way inside and turned the lights on. They made their way into the library which they knew held a lot of books.
"I know I'm just complaining right now. But do you see the amount of books that she has? Does she even need to go to the library if she has this many books at her disposal?" Kid Math whined.
"Technically these are all Word Girl's books and Becky is the one who always goes to the library." Said TJ nonchalantly. "If it is here then it will show." Said TJ glancing at the huge amount of books.
"I'll start at the top and you start at the bottom?" Asked Rex.
"Yeah, alright."
3 hours later...
It had taken them a while but eventually they found it. They had taken a long time because they had 'accidentally' knocked over a huge pile of books that they had to sort and organize. It was a disaster.
"Now that that's been taken care of we should return this to the library." Said TJ.
"I'll fly you out." Said Kid Math.
"No thanks. I'd rather take the slide, it's more fun." TJ got onto the slide with the book in his hand.
They locked up, as soon as they exited. Kid Math flew TJ to the library where they just dropped the book off in the book drop. Suddenly, Kid Math was receiving another call. "Hello?" He answered.
"I'm so sorry but I just remembered that I returned that book before I left. I'm sorry I led you on a wild goose chase." Said Becky. TJ, who could hear their conversation paled at her words. If it wasn't a library book that they put in the book drop then that meant...they had accidentally put one of Becky's own books into the library book drop.
"I just remembered that I have to go. Talk to you later Becky." Kid Math quickly changed back into Rex and he quickly hung up before Becky could reply. He then turned to TJ. "We need to go in there and get that book back. It just looked so much like a library book. I'm really starting to question our book finding abilities."
"Let's go." Said TJ who was already walking towards the library doors.
Meanwhile...
Becky, Bob, Tobey, Jackie and Sam were once again on the road to locate the next relative of Jackie.
As Sam drove the vehicle, the kids were in the back having a conversation.
"I just realized something." Said Jackie as she looked at Becky who was sitting across from her. "Why is this fanfic called 'Word Girl and the 7 Deadly sins' if the 7 deadly sins are not characters she interacts with a lot?"
Tobey thought about this before giving her his answer. "You're right about that. If anything, you're the main character in this one Jackie. No offense." Tobey said to Becky.
"None taken. Come to think of it, this is more of a spin-off than it is a sequel. But it still technically is a sequel since it's talking about every character like the last one did. To be honest it feels great to not have the spotlight be on just me the whole fanfic. So, which relative of yours are we going to see this time?" Becky asked Jackie.
Jackie pulled out the next file and began to read it over out loud. "It says that we are here to visit a Mr. Benedict Astruc." Said Jackie who then looked at all of the other files. "Huh, I guess they all decided on the same last name to avoid having to come up with different ones for every person."
It had taken them a few days but soon they were in the state of Nevada. Not long after they stopped in front of a high school. (Why are we here?) Chirped Bob.
"Benedict Astruc is a football coach." Explained Becky who had also read over the file.
Tobey was glad that Becky could understand Bob but he was still pretty annoyed that Bob was being so overprotective over her. He couldn't even put his arm around her or hug her without getting screeched at. Every time he would ask Becky what Bob was saying and Becky would blush and tell him that she would not dare to repeat what he just said. It was getting more and more annoying as it kept happening.
Tobey wondered if he ever got the chance to live with Becky if Bob would come with. It's not that he didn't like Bob but he wasn't exactly in his top list of people. But he was willing to do whatever as long as he got to be with Becky it didn't matter to him. He would do anything for her. He just wondered if she would do the same for him...
Becky loved Bob and Tobey equally but...whenever Bob would get defensive about Tobey touching her...she just couldn't bring herself to scold or yell at Bob. It's not that she didn't want to but she didn't want Bob to feel like she was choosing sides. She didn't want to upset him. Deep down, Becky knew that Tobey must hate her for not standing up for him. Tobey would yell at Bob himself but it's not like he would be able to understand what he says back to him.
