Mundane Monday

Violet woke up in an instant, thanks to Dash's annoying but effective method of awakening. The method was very simple: jump on the bed and the bouncing vibration should be enough to awake her that it would be hard to fall asleep. Dash ran out of the room as soon as Violet's feet touched the floor.

"I am going to sell you to a zoo one day pest." mumbled a drowsy girl.

After breakfast, Helen drove her kids to their respective schools. She managed to drop off Violet a minute before her bell rang.

Violet's day at school was a rather quiet but peaceful one. PE class was physically hard instead of emotionally difficult. Science was interesting as usual, English was. . . normal. It didn't take long until she found out the reason for all of the tranquillity. She figured it out with a little help of her best friend, Kari Mceean.

"Hey Kari! Over here!" Vi called to her best friend.

"Hey Vi. You will never guess what happened to me last night." she said, sitting down next to her.

Violet giggled. It is the same answer every time. "Let me guess. You had a strange dream last night?"

"Yes, and as usual, it had weird people with strange abilities."

"Do tell the summary of last night's dream." Violet begged, with a little fascination.

"Well, it started with you in a park."

Violet beamed. She muttered to herself, "This is going to be interesting."

"Well, it's a long one, but here it goes." She took a drink from her juice. "You were with Tony when a big robot attacked. He kidnaped Tony and left you alone. You were joined with another person. This guy carried a sword with him. Besides the red and blue out fit, that was the only noticeable thing. Oh, by the way, you were wearing stuff that those Super heroes would wear."

Violet gasped but later relaxed. She remembered what her dad told her about the memory-erasing technology that the NSA uses. When ever someone has witnessed or has been a victim of extraordinary activity, he or she must immediately be interrogated, then have their memory erased. Violet was able to relax. Even though a faint remembrance of the event still might be present in their mind, the person will never go as far as to remember the entire incident. Dreams about it and other uncommon acts just happens to be a side-effect of memory-erasing.

Kari continued. "You were wearing purple tights, and had a little pink IV symbol on your chest. Anyways, you and this "swordsman super" went to an island, rescued Tony, then beat up the guy who captured him. After that, you, Tony, the other super and another guy with guns together defeated a politically powerful person who discriminates supers. Finally, you Tony and the brave super defeated an extremely intellegent person, but at the cost of the "swordsman super's" life. It was a really good dream." she finished.

Violet stared at her friend. "Wow, what a Nightmare!"

"Oh, by the way, your butt got whooped about 10-20 times in my dream."

Violet was about send her friend to the nurse with a large, red, hand print across her face when she decided not to. "Say Kari, things at school have been very quiet today. Do you know why?"

"You haven't heard?" Kari asked. Violet shook her head. "Last Friday, Brittany and all of her friends used a cell phone on a test. They got suspended for an entire week."

"Oh wow." awed Vi. "I can't help but feel sorry for them."

Violet looked at Kari, who stared back. All of the sudden, a burst of laughter was shared by the two friends.

Violet sighed and went on to eat her lunch. Minutes later, Tony Rydinger came along.

"Hey Violet, can I talk to you?" he asked.

Violet nodded. Both she and Tony walked around the school.

"Violet, I need to ask you something about last night." Tony said seriously. "I was calling your name at the Seaport during our date when the fire erupted. Didn't you not hear me? You scared me to death after I saw you running toward instead of away from the fire."

Violet's body froze in fear. "Invisigirl was needed and I had to." she wanted to tell him. She opened her mouth but the only thing harder for her to think of a reason, was to say it directly in front of her boyfriend. Lying was the one of the most unforgiving sins she has ever committed to her boyfriend.

"I. . . I was uh. . . I was. . ." Violet stuttered. Finally, she took a deep breath and said, "I was trying to look for you. I uh, thought I heard your voice. . . um. . . coming from the fire and I tried to look for you."

Tony stared at Violet for a long time. Afterwards, he smiled. "Violet, don't worry about me. I don't want you to get hurt over me."

Violet smiled. She was glad that Tony was so understanding. No matter what Violet tells him, he would understand. After that, the bell rang. Violet hurried over to her next class.

It was a the end of the day, and Violet was waiting in front of the school for her mom. She was rather surprised to see her father's car show up. She got in the back seat and saw the entire family was already in.

"Hey what's going on?" wondered Violet as the family drove off.

Bob pressed a button next to the sound system. A little GPS screen popped out, displaying a map of Metroville, and a the center, was their logo, indicating where their vehicle was at.

Someone has taken someone hostage." told Bob as he shifted the car into autodrive.

Four pods lowered down on all the occupied seats. While in those pods, an automated, metallic strap fastened the torsos of every member of the family. One half of the metal strap moved up while the other moved down, automatically changing the family into their super suits. The pods lifted up. Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Invisigirl, and Speedster placed their mask on their face. The car converted into the Incredibile and sped to the rescue.
