I don't own WordGirl


After having finished her homework and chores, she set Tobey's present on the kitchen table, took a pair of scissors, some colorful wrapping paper, tape, and ribbons. "Okay," Becky breathed as she put her hands on her hips and inspected the items in front of her. "Let's do this." She spread the wrapping paper on the table and put the book on it. She tried to cut the paper as perfectly as possible but some of them came out jagged and some were slanted. Becky paid no attention to the mistakes. They can be easily fixed she thought as she folded the paper over the book.

She took the tape and taped the flapping wrapping paper. "There we go," she whispered as she fixed up the others. She took a bug blue bow and stamped it on the middle of the present. She took the present in her hands and held it up at Bob. "Look Bob," she enthusiastically said as she got his attention. "What do you think?"

Bob looked from the television to the present. He smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up. Once he did that, the book slipped out from the wrapping paper and fell on the floor. This time, Bob gave her a thumbs down followed by a frown.

"Man," Becky moaned, "not only am I weak at art but I'm also bad at wrapping up a present."

Bob squeaked as he jumped off of his couch and picked up the book. He sat down at the table and wrapped up the present in no time flat.

Becky frowned. Bob was talented at everything, well except for flying but that was not a talent. That was a supernatural power. "Thanks Bob," Becky thanked him as she took the present in his hands. "He's going to love it tomorrow."


On Saturday, it was finally Tobey's birthday. Becky woke up and finished her morning routine. On Saturday's she usually had to finish her homework so she could be free for Sunday but she had the day off today from homework and stopping villains...Not likely. Tobey's party was going to begin at three in the afternoon and that was the perfect time of day to spend the day there.

The clock ticked away as Becky watched television, trying to make time go by quick. Her mother, Mrs. Botsford walked into the living room. "Did you do your chores Becky?" she asked her daughter.

"My homework and chores are all set since yesterday," Becky answered as she smiled at her mother.

Mrs. Botsford returned the smile and patted her on the head. "You have a nice time at Tobey's party. It will mean a lot to him."

"Thanks mom," Becky said as she left her house with Bob while carrying the present in one arm.

The afternoon was beautiful today. The sun was shining brightly and the air of cold and hot mixed together created a wonderful warm breeze on a spring day. Becky breathed in the air as they walked at Tobey's house.

When she arrived at his house, she saw a blue balloon dangling from a gray mailbox. A sign stood there on the grass with red block letters reading "Party In The Backyard" and a red arrow pointing to the backyard. Becky walked to the backyard and opened the door that led inside the party. As she walked in, the party was dead. Absolutely no one was there but only decorations. Becky looked around and saw someone sitting on the outdoor table.

His back was turned at her. As Becky approached him, he looked frail and weak. "Tobey?" Becky said.

Tobey turned around and looked at Becky. He wiped his eyes with his sleeves as if he had been crying and sniffed. "Becky?" he said with surprise.

"Happy Birthday," Becky said as she gave him the present.

Tobey looked at her and then at the present. He was surprised that someone had gotten him something and came to his birthday. He slowly took the present in his hands and then looked at her. "Is it really a present?"

Becky raised an eyebrow at him. "Of course."

Tobey's lips slowly formed into a small, secret smile. How considerate of her he thought as he put the present on the table.

"Aren't you going to open it?" Becky asked.

"Later," Tobey assured her, "after everyone else comes and when we are finished eating the cake."

Becky nodded as Tobey took a seat on the table. She stood there on her feet as she nervously rubbed her arm. Then she decided to sit right next to him. "So..." she began as the word dragged out of her mouth.

"Some party," Tobey finished as he looked ahead of him.

"Don't worry," Becky said, "maybe someone else will come."

"Oh, who am I kidding?" Tobey said as he got up and put two fingers on the bridge of his nose. "Nobody is coming, its obvious."

All thanks to Victoria Becky thought.

"Oh where could they be? Who did they think they are? Why did they do this? What was I thinking?" Tobey blasted off his angry questions at no one in particular.

"It's not your fault Tobey," Becky told him as she surprisingly put a hand on his shoulder, surprising herself also.

"Then who?" Tobey asked as he looked at the sky.

Victoria's Becky mentally answered. "I have an idea. Why don't we celebrate your birthday together? Just the two of us."

"With only one person?" Tobey asked her.

"It's not so bad," Becky shrugged, "at least you have a friend to celebrate it with," she said as she entwined her fingers in front of her and smiled at him. She could feel herself blushing.

This time, Tobey really smiled at her and also blushed. "Then we shall."

"Ooh!" a baby-ish voice cooed as Becky and Tobey took their eyes from one another and looked at the intruder that entered the backyard. Becky gasped as she saw Eileen walking around the backyard. "This is one of the best bwifday pawties," she said.

Becky groaned and Tobey gave her a look. "Who is she?" Tobey asked.

"Trouble," Becky simply answered.

"Hi Becky-Weckity," Eileen greeted her as she waved her hand in front of her face. "This is one of the best pawties I've ever had!"

"I?" Tobey echoed with emphasis on the word. "Excuse me but this is my party!"

Eileen's anger grew. "MINE!" she yelled at him as she grew an inch taller. "And that present is mine!" she ran over and took grabbed the present but Tobey grabbed it at the same time.

"Let go its mine!" Tobey yelled as he pulled on it.

"MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!" Eileen bellowed as she grew into a green gargantuan little girl.

Tobey's hands slipped from the present and he fell to the ground on his butt. Eileen jumped away from the backyard along with the present and disappeared.

Becky knew that she should have done something, but it had happened so quick. One minute Tobey was happy, then next he was lying on the floor. She ran over to him and helped him on his feet. "Are you okay?" she asked him.

Tobey shook his head as he looked into the distance. "She ruined it. My party is ruined," he stated as he looked at the decorations that were annihilated by Eileen's huge feet. He sank onto the ground again and bought his knees close to him. He buried his face into his keens and his shoulders began to shake.

"Don't worry," Becky said, "WordGirl will stop her."

Tobey looked up at Becky with tears in his eyes. It was pretty uncharacteristic for him to cry but having his party being ruined like that with no friends around, it was not his fault that he cried. "WordGirl? Oh if WordGirl were to come and swoop down here, that will be the best birthday present."

"I'm sure it will," Becky said, "because I didn't bring you just one present. Let me go and get the other," she said as she grabbed Bob's arm and quickly left.

When they were out of Tobey's sight, Becky hit her head with her hand before Bob began to squeak at her. "I know, I know. I'm out of my mind but I feel bad okay. Eileen and Victoria ruined his party and I have to fix it! Word Up!" she said as she transformed into WordGirl. She scooped Huggy in her arms and flew back at Tobey.

"WordGirl!" Tobey said with excitement.

"Hiya Tobey," WordGirl greeted him, "a certain somebody told me that today was your birthday. Happy Birthday!"

"Thank you," Tobey said, "but the party is ruined."

WordGirl looked around and acted as if she was surprised. "What happened?"

"This red-headed girl randomly jumped here, yelled mine, mine, mine and left with my present," Tobey quickly explained.

"Sounds like the Birthday Girl. I have to go and stop her," WordGirl said.

"Can I please come with you?" Tobey asked, hoping for a yes.

"Well," WordGirl thought about it, "why not? After all, its your birthday today."

"Hooray!" Tobey shouted as he jumped in the air. "Oh wait, where is Becky Botsford?"

"Oh her," WordGirl said as she looked around as if she was going to find her answer, "she had to go back home to finish her chores but she told me to spend the day with you until she was finished."

"Oh," Tobey said, "that works."

"Yeah. Word Up!" WordGirl said as she scooped up Tobey from the ground and carried him to the skies.
