With only a minute to lose, the superhero and sidekick ran behind a building and transformed into their normal alter egos. Becky was quite pleased with herself. She had made it with now only 41 seconds to spare. Plus, she set a new robot-destroying record of a minute and 47 seconds. Yes, Becky Botsford was very proud indeed.

"We did it Bob!" Becky congratulated her sidekick.

Bob cheered and gave a little monkey dance. The two gave each other a high five and rounded the corner to go to City Hall. Everything seemed perfect for the moment, but then the moment abruptly ended. The girl caught a glimpse of City Hall and froze in her tracks. Oh no! Once again, she had forgotten! Bob accidentally bumped into Becky then looked up himself.

The two stood in horror.

City Hall was surrounded by a large crowd of people that were busy waiting for WordGirl and Captain Huggyface to show up. It was none other than the celebration of WordGirl defeating all of the city villains more than 1,000 times. WordGirl would be thanked and receive the 1,000 Keys To The City Award.

The mayor stood anxiously at the microphone with his note cards in hand. He looked to be very nervous. The town superhero and her sidekick had not yet shown up. Scoops was one of the many in the large crowd. He too was waiting for someone.

"Oh no! Bob, I totally forgot!" Becky began to panic. Ever since Bob wrecked her planner, WordGirl had super trouble remembering all of the upcoming city events. Now she had forgotten and had to be in two places at once!

Wait a second…

Well…maybe she didn't. She could just go as WordGirl. Problem solved.

"Urgh…Come on Bob. Lets go get in costume." Becky slumped and started heading back behind the building.

"Eeep?" Bob was still a little skeptical about this. What about Scoops? Was Scoops really through with suspecting Becky as WordGirl?

"No, Huggy relax, everything will be fine. We can just create an excuse to tell him. Like uh…we got stuck in traffic or slipped on a banana peel. WordGirl and Captain Huggyface showing up to this celebration is more important. Scoops doesn't suspect us. We will be fine. Now lets not waste any more time, we have to go."

Bob quickly shrugged off the idea and followed Becky.

However, Becky found that she couldn't trust her own words. In the back of her mind, she felt uneasy about all of this. She never knew for sure about Scoops. He was a great friend. Though, he still seemed to have his own interests in mind. Could Scoops have asked her to come to City Hall on purpose? Did he know that Becky Botsford and WordGirl had a connection? If so, then that would mean this was a set up. No! She could trust her friend. Couldn't she? Many questions not answered…


Mr. Big eagerly walked up the stairs to the stage. He was very anxious to began his plan. As he walked up to the microphone, the thought suddenly occurred to him…What was his plan? He probably should have thought about it before he went straight to the stage. Hmmm…..oh well.

"Greetings fellow villains, and welcome back!" Mr. Big said with dry enthusiasm. The business man didn't really know where he was going with all of this. He stopped talking and the room settled with silence.

"So…uh…Are any of you up for a game of golf?" Mr. Big (not knowing what to say) tried to break the quietness.

All of the villains gave each other odd looks. Most of them had come to hear Mr. Big's 'big' plan on getting rid of WordGirl. Now it looked like he was avoiding the subject all together. Leslie, in the midst of the villains, slapped her hand on her face. Yes, her boss had forgotten his memorized presentation…again.

Mr. Big signaled for Leslie to bring up his piece of notebook paper. He had hoped to avoid using it. Though, it was obvious he couldn't remember any of it.

Getting up from her metal chair, the assistant quickly ran up the stairs and handed Mr. Big his written down presentation.

"Here you go, Mr. Big." Leslie said letting some of her annoyed tone escape her.

Mr. Big snatched the paper and quickly shooed off his helper. Reading the paper, he then began his recap.

"Ah yes…Now what is the number one problem we face when committing crimes?" Mr. Big questioned evilly.

The crowd began to say the answer.

"Yes, all you villains know it… WordGirl. Well, what if we could get rid of her for good? Then, all of our problems would be solved. We could rule over the whole city. Nothing would ever stand in our way! Nothing! Doesn't that sound like fun?"

All the villains cheered.

"So, how will we get rid of WordGirl? The answer is simple. We use her weaknesses to destroy her!" Mr. Big cackled maliciously.

The villains applauded the idea. Though, some had questions of their own. For one, Two Brains was still having trouble following Mr. Big on this one. As a genius scientist, he was very big on planning. In fact, he loved complex plans. Mr. Big's plan didn't sound complex to the least. Therefore, it might not work.

"Hold on a minute Mr. Big! Do you even know what WordGirl's weaknesses are?" Dr. Two Brains interrupted.

"Why of course, Dr. Mouse Brains. I know one of WordGirl's most deadliest weaknesses and I intend to use it before the day ends."

"It's Dr. Two Brains," The doctor growled.

"Well, then what is it?" Granny May stood up and questioned impatiently.

Mr. Big smiled and gave a half laugh, "Its a surprise, but don't worry it will be revealed… all in good time. Though, till that time comes that is where I need all of you criminals. All of us know how strong that little power house can be. We will have to work together to trap her. Then, you can leave it to me to finish the job. Agreed?"

All of the villains nodded in approval.

"Good, now listen up! Phase 2! Butcher, Chuck The Evil Sandwich Making Guy, Ms. Question you all will….." The business man began to give his assorted plan of assigning villains their parts. After a long process of bickering and switching parts, all the villains knew what they were to do. Well, all except for one villain.

That villain he needed was the robot building kid. Though, where was he?


Tobey McCalister had to rush back home. After WordGirl destroyed all of his newest robots, he hoped he might have at least one spare robot. If he did he would have a way to get to the Villains Association meeting. It was pretty obvious now that he was going to be late. Running inside his house and into his bedroom, the boy genius began searching through scrap metal. Sometimes there would be left over robots from battle, he usually tossed leftovers in the scrap piles. If he were lucky, he may find one in full piece.

Parts began flying through the air.

"Come on!" The inventor growled as he franticly looked in each pile.

"There has to be at least one!" Tobey wildly cried as his desperation was proven in vain.

Metal was everywhere. His room looked like a junk yard. Well, it seemed he was going to miss out on knowing what they were going to do to WordGirl. The boy angrily kicked an old metal wire circuit and sat down.

"OW!" Ok, perhaps he should have looked before he took a seat.

Looking down, Tobey saw what had struck him. It was one of the small to big robots he had made this morning. He must had dropped one when he ran out the door. It appeared to be in good condition too. Well… aside from the antenna, but that could be fixed easily.

Grabbing some duck tape, the child took the robot and ran out the door.

Luckily for Tobey, his mother was at work until 5:00 PM. So, he had most of a Saturday to being a terrifying boy genius. Tobey quickly fixed his robot by duck taping the small antenna back onto its head. Pulling out his remote and pushing the grow button, the robot grew to its normal 50 foot size. Hopefully, he would make it.

…..

With only a couple of minutes to lose, he found himself thrilled to see the motel just within a walking distance.

"Ok robot, here is good." The boy commanded his metal creation.

As the the large metallic hand gently placed him on the sidewalk, Tobey took off at top speed. Well, maybe not at top speed, but he certainly was trying. Walking up to the building and going through the glass doors, the boy made his way into the auditorium. Hoping to sneak in unnoticed, he quietly squeaked open the door and tried to enter in the shadows.

However, instead this only back fired.

"Ah, there you are boy." Mr. Big greeted from the stage. All the villains turned their heads to see the young inventor walk in.

Tobey felt his cheeks get a little red.

"Yes, my robots had some sort of malfunction." The boy lied as he shifted his glasses nervously.

"Not a problem, you are the last villain we need in order to complete our plan." Mr. Big congratulated.

"Oh, really…what is it you have in mind for me to do?" Tobey quietly asked.

Stepping off of the stage, the business man walked directly over to the boy. Mr. Big had his mind set with this kid villain. He needed a very special something built and who better to ask then a child. After all little children don't question, they do as they are told.

"Now, I need you to build me something very special, Tony. You make a very important part of my plan." Mr. Big sinisterly smiled as he took the boy and led him outside of the auditorium to explain what was needed.

"Um..it's Tobey." The boy growled.
