Somewhere in Space...
There was a spaceship from Lexicon floating through space. Inside were two guards from the Lexiconian palace. They had been tasked with finding the long lost princess and missing space pilot monkey who was believed to have captured her. They had been searching for both for the last 18 years and hadn't come anywhere close to finding them. Until...
Their dashboard began picking up their cold trail and they soon learned they were on the planet earth. It didn't take long for them to land on earth in the last known coordinates for the stolen space ship. They soon found themselves in Fair City. T.J. and Red had been inside of the spaceship playing cards inside the hideout when they heard the commotion outside. They quickly ran outside.
Both looked up in shock and alarm as they witnessed a Lexiconian space ship land right next to their space ship. (sorry for using too many space ships.) Two people emerged from the ship. One man and one woman. The man had Brown hair, green eyes and tan skin. The woman had dark hair, Brown eyes and dark skin. Both wore matching uniforms of the Lexicon royal guard which resembled an earth space suit but yellow with red stars.
The woman pressed a button on her watch and spoke into it. "Air is breathable, life is sustainable. Removing space helmets." Both took off their helmets just after she said this. "Commander, we have located the lost space ship. Scans show that there is currently no one inside." She stopped talking when she saw T.J. and Rex cautiously approach them.
They immediately pointed their weapons at them. "Halt! Who goes there?" Asked the woman who held a frightening but fearful expression as she gazed at these unknown beings.
T.J. and Rex put their arms up in surrender.
"We come to you in piece." Said T.J., noticing that they had the crest of Lexicon on their uniforms. "Hey, you guys are from Lexicon aren't you?" He questioned them.
"Affirmative." Stated the man, not lowering his gun. "Can you two tell me where the long lost princess of Lexicon is?" He asked them.
T.J. and Rex shared a look then glanced back at the Lexiconians.
"Who?" Asked Rex, not knowing who they were referring to.
Both slowly lowered their weapons.
"How rude of us. We haven't properly introduced ourselves." Said the man as he pointed to the woman. "That's Nadine and I am David. We have been sent directly from the palace of Lexicon because we picked up a signal that indicated that our long lost princess was here." He finished by wiping an imaginary tear from his eye.
"What happened to her?" Asked T.J. as he and Rex lowered their arms too.
"18 years ago, the princess Alexis Dictonaris (yeah I could not come up with a better name on the spot) of Lexicon was born to the king Randolph and queen Beryl of Lexicon. She was the rightful heir to the throne. Until she was kidnapped by one of our own pilots. His name was Robert but we all called him Bob. Anyway, as soon as the princess turned 3 she was taken away by Bob and landed on this planet. Without an heir, king Randolph and queen Beryl went searching for her themselves but a few years back they went missing and we have no clue on their whereabouts. Without the king and queen, the king's advisor Frederick took over the throne. But he is dividing Lexicon. He is giving Lexiconians of lighter skin tones more privileges and looking down on darker skins. He is encouraging racism amongst us and promoting biggotry. He is giving bigger tax breaks to richer folk and letting the poor perish. We need to find the princess so she can restore order and balance. We have been tasked to search for her for the past 15 years when king Frederick made us begin our search for her. Our sensors tracked this as her ship." David pointed at Becky's ship. "Is she still alive?" He asked them with worry in his voice.
"Well.." Began T.J. "When she landed on this planet she and the monkey were adopted by my parents and she became the city's super hero Word Girl. She would fight crime and educate people on the proper use of a word." Said T.J. excitedly.
"Yeah, and she is recently on a journey with her friends in a different part of the country." Said Rex. Then he realized something. "We're going to have a lot of explaining to do to your parents and to Becky." Said Rex looking to T.J. who looked concerned.
"You know where she is?" Asked Nadine.
"No, but we can call her." Said Rex as he dialed Becky's number on his cell phone.
She picked up after a couple of rings. "Hey guys. What's up?" She asked in her usual calm tone.
T.J. and Rex took turns explaining the situation to her.
At first, Becky thought that they were joking but after hearing how serious they were about it changed her mind.
"I'll fly over as soon as I can." She said.
Meanwhile...
Becky sighed as she explained the situation to her friends and Sam.
They had just met her last two cousins Gluttony and Sloth.
Surprisingly both were kind of the opposite of the sin they each represented.
"Guys, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay any longer. I need to go home and decide if I should leave earth and travel to Lexicon." She gazed at them with tears pooling in her eyes.
"You can't leave just yet. You still have a wedding we promised to go to." Said Sam reminding them of Jackie's dad's marriage to Tobey's mom.
"Maybe we could delay your trip by just a bit?" Suggested Tobey as they sat around a coffee table in Sloth and Gluttony's home. (Sorry for not giving them 2 to 3 chapters like every other sin but they will be important later on in the story. Just you wait.)
They all agreed it would be best to get home as soon as possible. Sloth and Gluttony paid for their airline tickets and agreed to drive the R.V. back home for them. It would mean them missing the wedding but since none of them really knew Jackie's father they honestly didn't care. Becky would have just flown everyone home on the R.V. with her powers but it wouldn't be an easy task going for so long and so far. She didn't want to risk getting Word Girl banned from flying.
After everyone returned to their rightful homes did Becky need to sit her parents down and tell them everything.
