It seemed as though the whole city was getting nervous, waiting for the day Wordgirl would return to Earth. It had been about a month since her departure, and everyone was getting antsy.
The citizens of Fair City seemed to be downtown a lot more than usual, all hoping to witness the moment Wordgirl returns.
Violet was nervous, sure, but not as much as others, as she was very good about being patient, no matter what the occasion.
The Bottsfords would often just sit down in their living room, very quiet, staring blankly at the TV, their attention solely on the front door; just waiting for their daughter (or sister) to walk in.
Tobey would lay in his backyard whenever he had the time, just staring up into the sky. Waiting to see her, and thinking about how much he missed her. The villains would rob something more often, perhaps in an effort to see Wordgirl's return and to be able to battle her once again. But that wasn't certain, of course, as no villain would admit to that.
One night, Tobey was fixing up his robot (it had suffered quite a few damages from the last few battles with various villains), when there was a knock on his window. When he looked over to the window, he saw Wordgirl floating there. Tobey smiled widely and opened the window. Immediately upon opening the window, Becky grabbed him and pulled him out through the window and held him in a tight hug.
"It's great to see you too," Tobey choked out. Becky set him back down on his windowsill, blushing as she realized that she had once again squeezed him too hard in her hug. She knew she did that a lot, but most of the time she just couldn't help herself. Tobey crawled back in his room from the window sill, and Becky crawled in through the window after him.
"Oh, it feels so good to be home...I missed you guys so much. I couldn't stop thinking about you..." She said.
"You haven't been around here to know how much we've been thinking about you." Tobey said. "More specifically, how much I couldn't stop thinking about you."
Becky smiled and placed her hands on his cheeks.
"I thought about you every day." She then moved in and kissed him slowly. Upon parting moments later, the two sat down on Tobey's bed to chat.
"So, how was it? What is Lexicon like? Did you have fun?" Tobey asked excitedly.
"Oh, everything was wonderful! I met my real parents, I spent a while getting to know them and all about Lexicon, and I just feel so much more complete after this whole experience. As it turns out, my parents are the rulers of Lexicon. So if I had stayed, I would've taken over for them when I got old enough. Oh, there was this one problem though…" Becky explained.
"Problem? Like what?" Tobey asked, curious.
"Ugh, this annoying kid who has apparently been obsessed with me since I left Lexicon when I was younger kidnapped Huggy and tried to force me to stay and marry him and rule Lexicon with him. But with my parents' help we got him behind bars." Becky explained.
"Well I'm just glad you're finally home, and that you're safe. Am I the first person you've seen so far?" Tobey asked.
"Yes. I was going to go see my family first, but I just missed you too much…I couldn't stop thinking about you when I was up there." Becky explained.
"Well, then, what are we waiting for? There's a family here that's waiting anxiously for your return. We ought not to keep them waiting." Tobey said.
"You're right. Let's go!" Becky said eagerly as she grabbed his hand and flew out the window.
The two arrived at the Bottsford front door moments later. Becky bit her lip in excitement before knocking on the front door.
"Why, who could be at our front door so late at night?" Sally asked as she stood from the couch to answer the front door.
When she opened the door, she saw her daughter, still in her Wordgirl uniform, standing there with a smile on her face. Tobey stood behind her, a smile on his own face as well.
"Oh my goodness, you're home! You're finally home!" Sally said excitedly. "Tim, it's our daughter!" She shouted over her shoulder. Becky smiled as she hugged her mother.
"We've missed you so much, Becky! We're so glad you're home." Sally said as Tim joined the hug.
"I've missed you guys too!" Becky said happily. Everyone took a seat on the couch as Becky began explaining every detail of her exciting journey through space to her home planet. As her parents and Tobey hung on to her every word, TJ listened secretly, hiding behind the kitchen counter. He was still a bit sour about his lifelong role model being his boring, ordinary sister, but as he listened to the zest she spoke with, as he heard the excitement and happiness in her voice, he couldn't help but forget about all that.
After all, it is kinda cool to say that I know Wordgirl personally. Heck, I'm related to a superhero. I mean, she seems pretty happy…isn't that all that matters?
As Becky's exciting tale came to an end, TJ crept slowly and shyly out of his hiding spot.
"TJ! I'm so glad to see you!" Becky said, flying off the couch to give her brother a hug.
Becky put her brother down and took a step back.
"Are you still mad at me?" She asked. TJ was silent for a moment.
"Nah. You're my sister, after all, so I love you anyways." TJ responded. Becky's smile widened as she gave him a tight hug.
"Glad to hear it, TJ." She said as she sat back down next to Tobey.
After a couple more hours of talking about Becky's journey, and a little bit of chat about what she had missed on Earth (which wasn't much), Tobey had to get back home, so Becky decided to walk with him.
"You know, I've never seen you so happy. I'm really glad you decided to do this." Tobey said.
"Oh, I'm so happy I did this. I feel complete for once. I feel like I really know who I am. Now if I look around, you know what I see?" Becky asked.
"No, what?" Tobey asked.
"Happy families. People who know who they are and where they come from. And it doesn't make me upset anymore, because then I look back to myself and I see the same thing. I see a girl who has a family that loves her, and I know now that that's all I need." Becky explained. Tobey smiled.
"I'm glad. There's nothing I love more than seeing your beautiful smile." Tobey said as the two stopped at Tobey's front door.
"Well, I guess this is goodnight." Tobey said.
"Yeah, I guess." Becky said. After a moment of silence, Tobey was about to turn to open his front door when Becky grabbed his arm.
"Wait," Becky said. Tobey turned back to her. "I wanna say thanks for being such a great friend- and boyfriend. I never thought we'd end up this way, but I'm really glad we did. You're the best friend I could ever hope to have,"
"I love you, Tobey."
Tobey smiled, placed his hands on her cheeks and drew her face in close to his and kissed her. Becky leaned into it, wrapping her arms around his neck.
They parted for air a couple of minutes later.
"I've loved you since the day I met you." Tobey said with a smile. "I just didn't know it till now."
Becky smiled at him and kissed him again.
