Sitting at home, watching some TV, Lori was watching the news and, as she would expect, showed someone recording the fight between her and those nasty bandits that she had fought earlier. Figures that someone would witness this and record it on their phone. Could this be a blessing? or could this be a curse in her life? She was still wondering that kind of question in herself. On one hand, she was still cursing at the tanning bed for giving her these powers, but ont he other hand; she was happy to have got such recognition like this, and that the police gave her praise for taking care of that wanted criminal that was evading the law for years.
"This is Katherine Mulligan here," said the famous town reporter, "and i have got an interesting and exciting story for all of you watchers. Earlier today, there seems to be a new superhero on the rise, as you can see from the video, this fire teenage girl took down a small posse of armed robbers. Look at her go! She managed to put a stop to these brutes, and Douglass McCoy, the master criminal, has finally be hauled away to prison for all the crimes. Who is this new girl? Is she a blessing on the whole city? Why am I asking all of you all these questions? Katherine Mulligan with the news, signing off!"
Lori smiled, possibly knowing that she is about to become a hero for Royal Woods. What was even better was that, the officers knew who she was (not her secret identity, but her superhero persona). She knows that she has got quite a future now, and she will be more than willing to commit to her new superhero lifestyle. This was just the beginning of something great, and there will be more excitement on the way for Lori. She heard a knock on the door and it was revealed to be the chief of police. He looked like a middle-aged with balding grey hair and a small goatee under his lower lip "Ah, there is the new hero of Royal Woods herself. Though what are you doing in the Loud residence?"
Not wanting to reveal her secret civilian identity, Lori lied by saying: " Well... i am good friends with Lori. Yep, she is a good friend of mine and i help her out around the house."
"Oh. Alright then. Well Douglass McCoy has finally been put behind bars where he belongs, thanks to you. McCoy had quite a large price on his head in the wanted poster. For that, you have been given a reward of one-hundred grand."
Lori's eyes widened. "One hundred thousand dollars?" she said
"Yep. That man has committed many heinous crimes in his criminal record over the years, and he was always so slippery from the law. He has been a menace in the United States for far too long, and now you have put an end to his crime spree, and will be sent to the most secure prison in all of America: ADX in Florence Colorado."
"I get that he did bad things, but... isn't that place a little too extreme?"
"No," the chief of police said. "The Black Dolphin prison in the Siberia part of Russia is extreme. They make prisoners bend down and be blindfolded so they can't figure out what the prison looks like so they don't try to escape."
"Ooh, that does sound worse, but... i guess he brought it on himself." Lori stated
"That he has. Now here," he gave her a rather large check of one-hundred grand on it. "All yours, Miss..."
"Volcano Girl." Lori stated. "Call me Volcano Girl."
"Perfect. Enjoy your money, Volcano Girl. Don't spend it all in one place." Said the Chief. "Have a nice day and keep up the good work."
"Absolutely," the teen girl nodded her head. The chief went on his merry way as soon as Lori closed the front door. Staring into the check, she wondered what she can do for one-hundred thousand dollars? There were so many things that one can do with one-hundred grand.
"You should get your own private yacht." Lola said. "Nothing is better than a private yacht."
"Would make sense if we were near one of the great lakes or near the ocean." Lana said. "I don't think there's a point of having a private yacht around here."
"But there's lake Saint Byron." the girly-girl twin pointed.
"The lake doesn't allow yachts, genius." Lana sounded unamused.
"Guys, please. Let me think. But..." Lori was wondering. "Maybe i can put it into my fund to get in Fairway University, my dream college."
"Boring!" Lana sang
"What's the point of spending money on college? Not everyone gets in their dream college." Lola said
"Perhaps." Lori rolled her eyes. "But i can't kill for trying. But i'll literally save this for Fairway. But i should probably put this in the bank so no one can steal it." She asked her father take this into her savings account and she was all set. When she got home, she decided to spend some time with Bobby while he was visiting. After all, she promised him to be on another date with him. Nothing like a nice date with the greatest boyfriend in the world.
They were both walking down the sidewalk into the sunset, and smiling without a care in the world. "Babe, i think you got even more hot with your new powers, and your new form. I mean... you were beautiful before babe. I don't care if you have powers or not. You are still my Lori." Bobby pointed.
"Aw, thank you Bobby Boo-Boo Bear." Lori replied, sounding really flattered. "I am literally so lucky to have you as my boyfriend. Why can't all boys and men be more like you?"
"An age old question, babe. An age old question." they both began holding hands as they were walking some more. There it was; Aunt Pam's ice cream parlor, a famous place to get a yummy frozen dessert in town, along with Flips' own place. Bobby was the one to order a large vanilla milkshake as long as someones' arm, and there were two straws for the both of them to drink from the cup. "Here we go, Babe." Bobby smiled. "Who should go first?"
"I think you should." Lori said
"No, i think you should, babe." Bobby persisted. "After all, ladies' first. And you are a new superhero with awesome powers."
"No, you are the most handsome teenage boy alive. So you should take the first sip for that." Lori giggled. Then an idea came to her head. "You know what, why not sip it at the same time?"
"Good idea, baby." then they both did just that, and slowly began sipping from their abnormally large milkshake together in a romantic manner, staring at one another romantically. As cheesy as this looked between them, it was also a sweet moment since these lovebirds were clearly meant for each other. "Gah!" Bobby suddenly yoinked his mouth out of the straw and clutched his head like his brain was about to pop right out of his face. "Brain freeze!" He exclaimed
"Are you ok, Boo Boo Bear?" asked Lori, sounding worried about her boyfriends' well-being.
"Just some... brain freeze, babe." Bobby grunted. "Nothing to worry about."
"Here, do you need something like ibeuprofen or aspirin?" asked Lori.
"When do you have that?" asked Bobby curiously
"Being in a large household with ten siblings can literally be so stressful if you live there long enough." Lori narrowed her eyes. "But here, you should take one of these."
"No, it's ok, babe." Bobby, getting his hands off his head. "I'm fine now. Wait... you were gulping that milk shake as fast as i was." he realized. "Why didn't you get brain freeze like me?"
Lori was thinking deep about her boyfriend's question and wondered that herself. Maybe... maybe with the new fire powers she had gotten, icy things can have no affect on her. Figures that fire melts ice after all. "I think it's my new powers." she said. "I never have to worry about being cold or frozen with this powers. Maybe i can go up to the Arctic and not freeze to death."
"Ooh, you're probably right. You wouldn't even need a warm jacket in the snow because your new powers make you like a burning coal, only living." said Bobby
"Right." Lori smiled. "I can even create a fire with just my powers." then she looked at Bobby again. "You know, Bobby, maybe these new powers aren't so bad after all. At first i hated that new tanning bed, and thought it was literally a terrible mistake for buying it. But now, i think i would call it a happy mistake."
"Babe, i couldn't agree with you more." said Bobby.
