Tobey waited not so patiently by the water fountain. Every girl who passed, his pulsed raced in anticipation, as well as the fear that the absolute worst one, one he had perhaps been bitter to, was actually his girlfriend.

Just when Tobey was hit with a wave of frustration, and when he was beginning to think that WordGirl had changed her mind and didn't trust him with her identity after all, he felt a pair of warm hand reach under his large glasses and cover his eyes. "Guess who," a familiar voice whispered.

"Becky! I don't have time for this!" Tobey pulled her wrists away. "I'm waiting for someone!"

"Oh?" She rocked back and forth on her heels. "Who might that be?"

"I'd say its none of your business who I'm—"

Becky kissed hard, squarely on the lips.

"Becky!" He sputtered and wiped his mouth after pushing her away. "I have a girlfriend!" His eye flashed with rage.

She barely stifled her laughter. Becky raised her eyebrows and put on her most seductive face. "Ah, I see. Who is she then?"

"I don't—erugh!—it's none of your—"

"Oh, Tobey." She giggled, "I can only do this once. You can't blame me for wanting to have a little fun with it. Aww, and you're so cute when you're mad."

"Becky? What are you... Becky?"

She put looped fingers up to her eyes to create a mask. "My alter ego?"

"Becky! Ha ha!" He embraced her. "But I knew it was you before! With the shoes in the picture, and the first time we met but then WordGirl always seemed to come in... and then I figured..."

"Well I couldn't have you knowing who I was then, now could I? And don't ask me to reveal the secret of how I tricked you either. I think I've revealed enough for one day."

"Fair enough. My sweet... Becky." He nestled into her hair. "Becky. Becky, Becky? Oh, that's going to take some getting used to. No matter!"

"But is it though?" Becky smiled. "You said it yourself once... all the pieces fall together? We have the same hairstyle and colour? We both are the same height and vocabulary savvy?"

It was all true, but Tobey never really saw Becky that way... except for the few moments when he was sure they were the same person. WordGirl was strong, one worthy to be the companion of his intellect. Becky however... she was such a goody-two-shoes. She was a know-it-all and a teacher's pet. At times he was actually jealous of Becky... how she could do no wrong in adults' eyes... and she was quite brilliant, he had to admit.

Yet, she was also WordGirl. The clever, witty, steadfast, and beautiful superhero.

Was WordGirl a know-it-all and goody-two-shoes too? He never had the context to see her with parents, let alone one who could be seen at all in adults' eyes for judgment. Yet here she was... here Becky was.

"Is something the matter?" Becky placed a hand on his, and there was a spark of fire, of electricity of the first true encounter of something that wasn't touchable before.

Humbled. It was the only way he could describe it. Becky was WordGirl. But WordGirl couldn't be traced to be Becky anymore as a separate person. There was one person standing before him and she had all the qualities he'd always found so charming in red tights, yet now she was real. She had fears, and flaws. Yes,she could be too eager to please a teacher, and could get a little too involved in a competition. But she had also had a secret life and she was trusting Tobey with it. She took on so much without getting (or even asking for) any recognition. She was completely selfless and yet so modest. Humbled. Tobey was completely grateful... awed. Humbled.

He tucked Becky's hair behind her ear. He held her forehead onto his for a moment before pressing their lips together.

"No, this is absolutely perfect, Becky Botsford."

They held hands and walked through the school halls; a declaration they were a pair. Much to Tobey's surprise and Becky's delight many weren't surprised to see together them at all.

Yay! I love writing three-shots. Thank you for reading, and all the support you've given this! I do have a few more Tobecky one-shots I'll finish/edit some day soon enough. I think in some ways they are a bit better than this, but it's hard to tell such things with your own work. I don't own the characters, as to be expected. Thanks again to everyone for giving this a chance.
