School had been out for at least a hour. Students had been picked up at car pull, bus, or left at extended day. However, others were walkers. The walkers included a rather small group of children. All that seemed to enjoy the fresh air of the wonderful day. Their houses were close enough to walk to. So, this gave them the independence to come home at the speed of their choice. On the lovely Friday afternoon, three young 5th graders and a monkey were enjoying a new route.

Becky, Violet, Scoops, and Bob the monkey were all walking down the sidewalk. Becky and Violet were walking side by side as they giggled and whispered about their day. Scoops was trudging behind them lost in thought as he wrote things down on his note pad. Bob was struggling to keep up with all three of them as he had a larger lunch then usual. Every once and a while he would give a loud squeak to say they needed to slow down. Of course, they all seemed to be busy so he just had to wobble his way along.

"Hey, where are we going?" Scoops, who realized he was going the opposite direction from his house, was interested to know all the facts.

Becky and Violet stopped and let Scoops catch up with them.

"Oh, sorry Scoops, I forgot to tell you Mrs. Davis assigned Eugene to be my partner." Violet said in her usual quiet voice.

"Oh," Scoops tried to act interested.

"Yeah, Eugene and I are going to work on our project in the park."

Becky quickly broke into the conversation.

"I thought we could walk with Violet till she gets to the park. Then, we can head to your house?" Becky tried to make it sound like it was a question, but Scoops didn't quite understand.

"What? Oh yeah sure…" Scoops shrugged. It was obvious he was still a couple sentences behind in the conversation.

Becky looked at Violet and shrugged.

"Guess were good," Becky whispered and gave a thumbs up.

The walk grew a little quiet as everyone seemed to have said everything that they could think of. Suddenly, Becky looked down at her side. Where was Bob? Becky's eyes grew wide. She started looking all around.

"Where's Bob?" Becky questioned a little nervously.

Violet looked around, "Um..I don't see him."

"BOB!" Becky shouted.

Violet and Scoops held their ears tight as Becky's voice echoed.

Realizing she had used some of her superpowers on that shout. "Oops, sorry you guys." Becky slumped. Waiting a minute or two, Becky could hear Bob off in the distance.

"Oh, he's way back over there." Becky rolled her eyes.

"He says he ate to much and is having trouble keeping up. I'll go get him." Becky raced off to fetch her pet.

Violet and Scoops looked at each other in shock.

"I couldn't hear Bob at all." Violet admitted.

"Neither could I," Scoops eyed suspiciously.

The two stood there awkwardly.

Suddenly, wind rushed pass them causing Scoops's hat to fall off.

"Oops, sorry here you go." Becky sheepishly smiled and handed Scoops his hat. She was holding Bob in her other arm.

Letting Bob down on the sidewalk, the group continued to walk. Scoops and Violet were still amazed on how Becky had gotten back so fast.

"So, what are you two doing your project on?" Violet asked in curiosity.

Becky hadn't thought about it yet. Mrs. Davis had said that Scoops was to be her partner on the project. Though, she was thrilled to be working with him; she still didn't see him giving any suggestions to their historic figure choice.

Becky began, "Uh, well I was thinking about doing the project on…."

"WordGirl!" Scoops filled in her sentence.

Violet, Becky, and Bob were taken aback.

"Uh…what?" Violet and Becky questioned as Bob squeaked the same.

Scoops proudly repeated, "Becky and I will be doing our project on WordGirl."

Becky was still a little shocked. When did she say she agreed to do the project on WordGirl? And since when was WordGirl considered a historic figure. Becky looked at Violet letting a little bit of her aggravation show.

Violet read Becky's thoughts and tried to help her out.

"Scoops, Mrs. Davis said our project had to be on the revealing of the identity of a historic figure. Since when is WordGirl a historic figure?"

Scoops ponder this for a minute.

"Well, she just stopped villains yesterday and the day before that so therefore she is part of history."

Becky and Bob looked at each other nervously.

"Scoops, did you even ask if Becky wanted to do the project on WordGirl?" Violet tried to defend Becky.

Scoops quickly turned to Becky.

"Do you want to do the project on WordGirl?" Scoops's eyes pleaded.

Becky stood there a bit shocked and under pressure. She liked Scoops and she didn't want to make him upset. Though, she knew WordGirl would be the one to take the hit if she said yes. Well, should she do the project for Scoops or not do the project for WordGirl? Urgh! Sometimes she didn't like being a superhero.

"Uh…I guess," Becky halfheartedly agreed.

Violet looked at Becky in disbelief. Becky only looked at Violet and shrugged.

"Yes!" Scoops hopped around excitedly.

The group had finally reached the city park.

"Come on Becky, lets go! We are going to reveal WordGirl's secret identity! I have already started working on possible…." Scoops started to ramble as he dragged Becky opposite from Violet.

Violet had definitely reached her wits end with Scoops. Now he wanted to reveal WordGirl's secret identity?….and poor Becky. Violet didn't like seeing Becky upset. Becky didn't show she was upset, but Violet could tell she was.

"Hold on a minute Scoops, now you want to reveal WordGirl's secret identity! That isn't a nice thing to do at all. What if Becky were WordGirl and you told everyone she was WordGirl…that would probably make her sad and it could put her whole family in danger…" Violet gave the example unaware.

Becky's eyes were as large as golf balls. Bob was nervously biting his finger nails.

Scoops listened to Violet's words. Though, he still wanted to find out WordGirl's identity. If he did he would be able to write for the Big City Times. His life long dream could come true. Violet really expected him to give up his dream to help WordGirl? Yeah, that wasn't going to happen. Besides WordGirl could take care of herself.

Scoops folded his arms, "So what?"

"So what?! Don't you care about the superhero that has saved this city time and time again!" Violet yelled, but quickly cupped her hands over her mouth.

Scoops, Becky, and Bob stood awkwardly. Violet yelling was an odd sight.

"Umm…I'm sorry." Violet whispered and started to walk away.

"Bye Scoops…bye Becky and Bob." Violet waved and walked into the city park.

Becky watched as Violet left. She was so lucky to have a best friend like her. If she only could stay with Violet. Sigh. Becky definitely wasn't excited about working with Scoops now. She knew she would have to be extra careful not to draw any attention to her being WordGirl.

"Alright Becky, so like I said we have got a lot of work to do…" Scoops started to walk away from the park.

"In order to reveal WordGirl's secret identity first we need to find some clues. Now we know WordGirl has a large vocabulary. Hmmmm…Who do we know that has a large vocabulary?" Scoops tapped the pencil againist his note pad as he pondered.

Becky was busy watching hopelessly as the park disappeared behind a building. Turning her head to the bottom of the sidewalk she began thinking. The project was going to be a tricky one. Though, on the bright side she knew Scoops didn't think she was WordGirl after what happened at the Vocabulary Bee.

"Have any suggestions?" Scoops asked Becky and Bob.

Suddenly Becky was stirred from her thoughts and was pulled into Scoops's conversation.

"Uh…"

"Cheep"

"Hmmm…interesting." The reporter commented as he wrote down the suggestions.

Becky was about to give an actual suggestion, but out of no where she heard an alarm ring. It sounded like Amazing Rope Guy was at it again. She had to get out of here. Becky leaned over and whispered to Bob they had to go. Picking up Bob, Becky started to think of what she would tell Scoops.

"Hey Scoops, I just remembered I have to uh…pick up some groceries for my Mom. I'll meet you at your house." Becky quickly said her excuse.

"Uh, ok see ya." Scoops gave a half wave still lost in his notes.

Becky ran away and flue off; Bob in hand.

"WWwwooorrdd Up!"

Scoops heard the catch phrase and saw WordGirl fly off. Becky was no where in sight. Scoops began to take notes reading out loud...

"My first suspect…Becky Botsford. Why? Clue #1: Becky and WordGirl are never seen in the same place. Hmmm..very very interesting."

Ok hopefully, I did ok with this. Definitely wasn't a easy chapter to write. (Note: Oh in case you new WG fans didn't know Eugene is an early WordGirl character seen in some of the first WordGirl short 2 minute clips. He also is seen throughout WordGirl episodes as a tall boy in Becky's 5th grade class. ) Hope this leaves you eager for the next chapter :D. Please R&R if ya want XD
