Chubby
Chubby (fat if you don't care too much about being p.c.). That's what other kids had called him. Bouncing Boy was picked on a lot as a child. Sure, he was overweight, but he honestly couldn't do anything about it! Then, after it developed into a power, the teasing got worse. After all, even he admitted, it was a pretty lame power. He found his uses for it though, even bullies were intimidated by two-hundred pounds of blue-clad boy coming at them.
He tried out The Legion simply because he had nothing better to do with himself. It came as a huge shock when somebody thought he had potential, he joined reluctantly, worried that it was a joke. It wasn't.
Kids still made fun of him, but that was reasonable, he did have a dorky power. It was all right though, because he was doing something useful with himself, a feat he had believed impossible. He still didn't have many friends, but he was used to that.
Then Triplicate Girl entered. She was nice, quirky, and never once looked at his size, she just smiled and accepted him. It was nice to have a friend, finally. And through Trip he made many friends and he got better with his power, eventually, he even rose to the top ranks of The Legion. Then, for a bit, he led The Legion. (Not that he wasn't happy to end his term.)
'It was actually kind of nice when Trip became Dou Damsel. Not to say it was a good thing!' He thought. 'It just felt good to finally repay her for all she had done for me. Even when she got her third self back, she now knows that I will never let her down.'
Friends, acceptance, who would'a thought he could get all that just by being chubby?
Same as always. R&R, thanks to all those who have been doing so. You're a major inspiration! ~BBear
