I don't own WordGirl
The robot's metal feet thudded the gray pavement. Tobey held himself onto the robot's antenna as he got a good look across the city where he hoped the find Victoria and the Birthday Girl. He couldn't believe that something had happened to him like this. He didn't like it at all. He was the first one to invite his classmates to his party but Victoria had ruined that because she was "the best." He wondered how WordGirl was doing with the other villains. He smiled at the thought of that wonderful superhero. Then he thought of Becky. What a good classmate that she bought WordGirl to him as a present.
The robot stopped walking as he slightly nudged his head to the left. "Culprit detected," he said in a robot voice.
Tobey looked ahead and saw a flash of huge red hair. He smiled, knowing that he had finally found the Birthday Girl and probably Victoria as well. "Dead ahead!" Tobey yelled as he pointed in front of him and the robot fast-walked towards the girl.
Birthday Girl turned around as she spotted the gray robot. She still had Victoria in her grip who was continuing to struggle out of her grip. "Ooh, wook a wobot!" Birthday Girl pointed out. She thought of the robot as another toy but when she saw Tobey on top of the robot, she frowned.
The robot stopped in front of the Birthday Girl. "Well, Eileen good to see you again," Tobey sarcastically greeted her as he folded his arms across his chest.
"HI!" Eileen boomed as she waved her hand at him. "Today is my bwifday!"
"Oh please," Tobey chuckled, "its my birthday and you ruined it!" he yelled at the big girl, "and the same goes for you!" he yelled at Victoria.
"Well I'm the best at throwing the best parties," Victoria shot back, "people always prefer the most sophisticated and the best parties. I doubt anyone wanted to go to yours," she said.
Tobey rolled his eyes at her. "Oh please, no one is the best at everything. For example, you are not the best superhero because you don't have any superpowers!"
Victoria scrunched her eyes at Tobey. "I can be!" she screamed at him.
"Yeah right," the boy genius said, "so everyone showed up at your 'party,'" he air-quoted the word, "but I got the best host, WordGirl herself. HA! I outdone you on something," he clutched onto his stomach as he laughed at the blond girl. "Now robot," he said to his metal contraption, "get them!" he pressed the red button on his remote as the robot walked over to the Birthday Girl and Victoria.
"Do something you buffoon!" Victoria snapped at the Birthday Girl.
The giant green girl pushed her hand in front of the robot and pushed him down. Tobey jumped off the robot's head just in time but he found out that this had been the wrong idea. He felt himself flying through the air. Just then, a yellow streak flew up in front of him and grabbed him by the shirt collar before he met his doom. "Hello Tobey," WordGirl greeted him with Huggy clinging onto her and his other robots behind her.
Tobey smiled at her. Now that she was here, she was going to put these two spoiled brats in their place. She gently set him to the ground. "Now I have some unfinished business to take care of," she said as she darted her eyes at the Birthday Girl.
"Huggy," WordGirl said, "initiate plan number one," she said. The monkey gave her a disapproving squeak and later whined when she gave him "the look." He jumped at the top of a building and waved his arms at Eileen. Eileen turned her attention to Huggy. Huggy crossed his hands together as a cute smile spread across his lips and his eyes grew huge and shiny.
"Ooh what a cute little monkey!" Eileen gushed as she let go of Victoria and went over to Huggy.
WordGirl grabbed the falling Victoria and put her to the ground. She flew at the Birthday that had Huggy in her grip. "Hello Birthday Girl," she said to the child-villain, "please let go of my sidekick."
"No!" Eileen said as she clung onto him, "he is mine!"
"But Eileen, its not nice to take someone's cherished things without asking first," WordGirl told her.
"Its not?" Eileen asked as WordGirl shook her head, "oh. Here you go WordGirl," she said as she gave Huggy back to the superhero. Once she did that, she began to shrink to her normal size.
Just then, a couple of kids that were at Victoria's party arrived where all of the action had happened. Scoops and Violet were one of them and they smiled when the saw their favorite superhero yet saving another day. Victoria turned her head and looked at her party guests. "Come on you guys, lets go back to the best party," she said as she was about to walk away.
"Just a minute Victoria," WordGirl said as the blond girl stopped in her tracks, "I think you owe an apology to Tobey, same with you Eileen."
"I'm sowwy," Eileen said.
"Its 'sorry,'" WordGirl clarified for her in an annoyed tone of voice.
"Hmph," Victoria said as she snootily raised her noise in the air, "I'm not apologizing to that nerd," she said as she glared at Tobey.
"Well I don't need your apology," Tobey shrugged, "that goes to show you that you don't have the best manners," he said with a smile.
Victoria walked up to him and glared. Through gritted teeth she said, "I am the best!" With that, she stormed away from the group of people.
Violet looked behind her when she saw Victoria walking away from them. She faced Tobey and walked up to him. "Hi Tobey," she said in her usual soft but yet shy voice, "I think this belongs to you." She handed the book that Becky had given him for his birthday.
Tobey smiled when he saw it. Looks like someone else did care about him. He looked up at Violet when she continued to speak.
"We are sorry for not coming to your birthday party because we were too caught up at going to Victoria's," she said, "is it too late to come back to yours?"
"No," Tobey shook his head, "I haven't blown out my candles yet."
"Cake?" Scoops blinked, "cake!" he yelled as the group of classmates yelled and ran at Tobey's house.
"Can I go too?" Eileen asked as her eyes sparkled with joy.
"Why not?" Tobey asked her, "the more friends the better just don't turn into a huge green monster," he said as Eileen nodded to him and ran to his home. After she was gone, Tobey turned his attention back to WordGirl, "thank you for giving me the best birthday," he told her with a smile.
"Its a pleasure to help you Tobey," WordGirl smiled at him. She noticed that he was a little out of character, he was more nice now and didn't have a smart back talk.
"Is it possible that you can come to my party for a slice of chocolate cake?" he asked her.
As delicious as the sounded, WordGirl shook her head. "Sorry Tobey the city is in the need for me right now, but I hope you have a good birthday party," she smiled as she flew away into the skies.
Tobey turned on his heel as he walked back to his home. Even though his classmates weren't at his party for half of the day, he still had fun with Becky and WordGirl. Speaking of which, where had the girl disappeared off to? He hadn't seen her since she left his party to go somewhere. Just as he was about to walk into his backyard, Becky opened it up for him.
"Where have you been?" she slyly said as she pulled Tobey inside the party.
"Becky!" Tobey happily said as he stumbled inside the yard. "Where have you been yourself?" he asked.
"I had to go back home because I forgot to do something for my mom," she lied, "but I'm here now."
"That's great," Tobey told her, "thank you for the present by the way."
"Its my pleasure," Becky told him with a smile. "Now come on, if we stand here talking, there won't be any cake left!" she said as she pulled Tobey towards the birthday cake that was glowing with eleven candles.
After singing happy birthday to the Birthday Boy, Tobey blew out the candles and everyone clapped. His smile grew wide at his classmates that had finally come to his party. Through the crowd of his classmates, he saw that they were happy being with him, happy that he was turning eleven, happy to be at his important event. He saw that these people that came could be his friends in the near future. Especially a certain brunette girl that was standing near her pet monkey.
While the kids were munching on their slices of cake, Tobey walked over where Scoops, Violet, and Becky were gathered. "Hello guys," he said, "enjoying ourselves?"
"Thanks for the invite Tobey," Violet thanked him.
"Yeah this is the best cake I have ever tasted," Scoops said as he forked another piece of the fluffy dessert in his mouth.
"Well my mother is the best cook," he boasted.
"Nothing beats a mother's home cooking," Becky smiled at him, "even Bob is enjoying himself," she said as she looked over at her pet monkey who was stuffing himself inside the cake.
"I'm glad," Tobey uneasily said when he saw the monkey covered in bits of cake and chocolate frosting. Oh well, he was glad to have people around him.
After the party, the classmates gradually left. Tobey began to pick up the paper plates and cups that were stranded on the ground. "Hey," a feminine voice said, "need some help?"
Tobey looked up and saw Becky standing by the backyard's door. He smiled when he saw her. "The more hands, the quicker I finish," he said as Becky joined in and helped him clean up his backyard. It took an hour or so to get the yard back into its proper state. Becky hauled the last garbage bag into a trash can.
"Whew," she said as she wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, "good thing that's over."
"Yeah," Tobey said, "but it was pretty amusing."
Becky smiled. She turned her head and looked at him. "Happy birthday Tobey," she said as she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek making the boy blush.
A good present to end the day.
The End
