MU: A short chapter, I know. But I hope you like it!

2 years later, 10-year old Amber sat on the couch, cuddling her new giant black bear, watching her favorite Saturday morning cartoons. She liked lots of TV shows, but the ones she watched the most were about girls saving the world with special powers. She wished that she could do help people that way, then she realized she could. Making a gold energy ball in her hand, she thought back to the time she first discovered she had them. She hadn't seen the mysterious kidnapper since then, but she was still on alert. The only time she ever used her powers was to help people when no one noticed, since she didn't want anyone to find out. Maybe I can change that, she thought, and then she heard footsteps. Quickly she absorbed the energy sphere back into her hand when her 6-year old brother, Josh, walked into the room. "Oh, great," he said when he saw what Amber was watching.
"Hey, how would you feel if I said that Star Wars was dumb? Not that I do, but still," Amber retorted.
"I'd punch your face into the wall."
"Exactly what I mean," Amber turned back to her show, and Josh left the room. As Amber watched, she realized that, she could help others and help her friends and family understand, and value, her powers, like the super heroes on TV. After the show was over, Amber turned off the TV and ran up to her parent's bedroom. Before entering, she knocked on the door.
"Come in," her mom called through the door. Amber opened the door and walked in. Her mom was reading a storytelling guide.
"Hey, Mom, I got a great idea! You know my powers?"
"Yes, I do. What about them, Amber?" Her mom turned herself so she was facing Amber.
"Well, I was watching Warrior Girls, and I thought I could make my own uniform and be a superhero like them. What do you think?" Amber asked eagerly.
"I think it's a great idea, Amber, except for one thing. What about your homeschool work, your chores, Girl Scouts, and time with family and friends? When you get older, you'll have less time for those kind of things," her mom replied.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll make it fit in. I won't do it as much as they do on TV," Amber replied.
"Alright, but do you know what your outfit will be?"
"I have an idea of an outfit I can make with things I have here at home. I'll show you." Amber left the room and walked to her bedroom. Amber dragged out a cardboard box out from underneath her bed. She pulled out a long sleeved knee-length V- neck gymnastics outfit, a gold skirt with 3 layers underneath it, a gold vest, gold boots (like Bloom's fairy boots only gold), and a white rimmed mask that looked like a pair of goggles, only it stuck onto her face (like the Incredibles' masks) and didn't have straps or glass. She them on and got out 2 white bow-shaped clips with a small gold braid on each one and put them in her hair on each side of her head in front of her ears. She poked her head out the door, making sure no one was in the hall, and walked back to her parent's room. "What do you think?" she asked her mom.
"I really like it, but how did you get everything for it?" her mom asked.
"Remember how we went to all of those garage sales? I was getting this stuff for my Halloween costume, but then I decided to use it for my superhero self," Amber replied happily. "Do you think it looks better without the vest," Amber took off the vest, "or with the vest?" Amber put it back on.
"What do you think?"
Amber looked in the full body mirror on her parent's bathroom door. Taking off the vest, she decided she liked it that way, but then noticed one problem. Putting back on the vest, she realized that most superheroes, in real life (if there were any) and on TV, were teenagers, and people could tell how that she was younger than that easily without the vest, but with the vest it was harder then without it. She liked both looks, but she chose to keep her age a secret as well as her identity, so she wore the vest with her outfit. "I'll keep the vest," she told her mom.
"Alright, but you'd better change your clothes right now. The boys will be up soon, and I'm going to make chocolate chip pancakes.
"Yum! I'm going." Amber rushed back to her room to change.
