Word Girl's Slumber
Part One
Narrator: An out and about day for Becky Botsford also known as the famous superhero, Word Girl…
Word Girl: (In her spaceship hideout relaxing) Flatterer.
Narrator: Slow crime day?
Word Girl: Hasn't been much going on lately… (Using a remote to change the channels, but it doesn't seem to work, and then notices…) Oops, this is one of Tobey's remotes; I must have forgotten to put in the memoir room. (Flies over) Okay, Chuck's stuff… Butcher's… Mr. Big's… Here we go Tobey's stuff… (Places the remote in a glass case with other remotes, that was next to the display cases of his human-size robots that could easily fit in the room, she gives a sigh) I really wish he would do something more than just robots…
Huggy: (Comes in, "Are you swooning?")
Word Girl: No I am not swooning!
Huggy: ("Then why does it matter to you what Tobey does?")
Word Girl: Well I… I just think he could do more, plus he's too young for a life of crime! I need to help him before it's too late…
Huggy: ("Help him? Or help you…?" With a sly grin)
Word Girl: And what is that suppose to mean?!
Huggy: ("You like him, don't you?")
Word Girl: Like?! (Nervous giggling) Like is such a strong word… I certainly don't hate him but I am far from liking him… It's neutral.
Huggy: ("Neutral?")
Word Girl: Oh, if something's neutral that just means you're not taking sides to anything, as in I am not siding with the fact I like Tobey or that I'm siding to hate him.
Huggy: (Shrugs, "It's your call")
Word Girl: Come on, we'll figure out something later. Right now, let's get home; it's almost time for dinner. (Flying out of the ship)
Narrator: Meanwhile… just outside of Earth's atmosphere…
We see Miss Power's ship…
Miss Power: (Gives an evil chuckle) This is it, Colonel Giggle Cheeks… Revenge! By traveling to other planets, and ruining them at the same time of course… I found the exact thing to bring down Word Girl! Just think… Once she's gone I can take over the Earth at last!
Giggle Cheeks: ("But what about those villains and the district attorney?")
Miss Power: Oh please, without their little hero to come to the rescue again, they will be easy pickings… I mean just look at them! (Using her holographic screen to show moving clips of the villains) A guy with a sandwich for a head… An old lady… A stinky Butcher… An old dude with a mind control craze… A giant green freak… A copy cat… A cheese loving weirdo… and a kid with a really bad taste for fashion, using robots. Can you say…? Lame! What losers… So, time to put my plan in motion… (Holding out a small bag… Her ship goes into Earth)
Narrator: (Gulp) Uh oh… Um, back at the Botsfords?
Sally: Kids, your father and I have an announcement to make.
Both: What is it?
Tim: Well just last week, your mother has been offer a week off to go on a cruise!
Both: Wow!
TJ: When do we leave?
Tim: Sorry TJ, but there was only enough tickets for two.
Sally: So the two of you get to spend the week at one of your friends' house. Becky, you'll stay with Violet and TJ will stay with Johnson, it's all been arrange.
Both: Alright!
Tim: And that means Bob will go with Becky, of course.
Becky: When will you leave?
Sally: In two days, so get anything you need ready.
TJ: Oh you bet! (Taking out his Word Girl doll out) Come on Word Girl, I need help packing, word up! (Playing all the way to his room)
Becky: I guess I better pack too, let's go Bob. (They make it to her room; she stares out the window admiring the night sky) Isn't it beautiful Bob?
Bob: ("Sure")
Becky: I look up to that night sky and I can see Lexicon…
Bob: ("You have super vision too? I didn't know that")
Becky: No of course I don't, I was making an expression. You know, like a phase or an idiom. What I meant was, sometimes I think about Lexicon and what it would be like to live there in the first place if we hadn't crash-landed at all on Earth.
Bob: ("But you do like Earth, right?")
Becky: Yes, I do, it's the only home I ever knew. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else at the moment. But it is a question of what my real life could have been like… (Suddenly a shooting star appears) Hey, a shooting star! You know, if you make a wish on one supposedly your wish will come true. Quick let's make one! (Both shut their eyes and thought of their most secret wishes, Becky thought) I wish for a way to know what my life would be like in both worlds… Lexicon and Earth, on Earth though I want to see what the villains would do without a life of crime… (They open their eyes and she said) They might not come true but it was worth a shot. Let's finish packing.
As they do that, little did they realize that the shooting star they saw was Miss Power's ship! That lands right into the woods so no one can see that she was back… and with a vengeance…
Narrator: Two days later, the Butcher was up to his old tricks…
At the bank.
Bank Teller: Let me guess, another bank robbery?
Butcher: Yeah well you know how it is, can we just on with it before-
Word Girl: Word Girl shows up?
Butcher: (Groans) Seriously, when are you going to let me rob a bank in piece?
Word Girl: Peace, the word's peace. And I would, but someone has to stop you and it might as well be me!
Butcher: Oh yeah? Sausage Cyclone! (Huggy jumps in and swallows them whole) Oh dang…
Word Girl: Give up?
Butcher: I guess… if I wasn't about to do this! Meat Ball Attack! (They get covered in meat balls and he makes a run for it)
Word Girl: Shoot! Should have seen that one coming…
Huggy: ("Shouldn't we go after him?")
Word Girl: I would, but Mom and Dad are leaving soon and I have to say goodbye. (She gets them out and they fly back home, transforming back and seeing them about to leave in the driveway)
Sally: Now you're sure you'll be alright?
Both Kids: Oh sure.
Tim: And you have your extra house keys in case you need anything?
Both: Yup.
Sally: You know the cell number if you have to reach us?
Both: Ah-ha.
Tim: Looks like they're all set and so are we…
Sally: Oh honey…
Becky: You two will have a great time.
TJ: Yeah, enjoy it, you deserve it.
They hug and then get in the car.
Both Parents: (Waving) Bye!
Both Kids: (Waving back) Bye!
Once the car was out of sight.
TJ: And… They're gone! Party!
Becky: TeeJ…
TJ: Oh you know what I mean; I'm heading over to Johnson's. See you at the end of the week.
Becky: See you then.
Narrator: That night at Violet's house.
Violet: What should we do now?
Becky: How about reading one of our favorite stories?
Violet: Oh, allow me. (Grabbing a book from her bookshelf) Sleeping Beauty.
Becky: Good choice, I love that story.
Violet: What to take turns reading it?
Becky: Sure, you start off.
Violet: Okay. (Opening it) Once there was a king and queen who wanted a child…
We see on a nearby clock that time passed to a half hour later.
Becky: … So, the princess went up the steps to see a strange object she had never seen before and touched it by pricking her finger!
Violet: Oh no! The poor princess! Her curse came true.
Becky: I know… I certainly wouldn't want to be in her shoes… (Going back to the book) Thus, she fell into the deep sleep as she would have, set before her when she was a baby…
Another half hour passes.
Violet: The prince slowly went towards the princess… One look at her and he instantly fell in love, he kisses her lips and she awoke!
Becky: Aww…
Violet: The two agreed that they should wed at once, and they did… Living happily ever after…
Both: The end…
Violet: Don't you ever wish that a prince could kiss you awake?
Becky: That sure would be amazing, but I don't see that happening…
Violet: Uh oh, time to go to sleep. (As they ready the sleeping bags) You know, I wonder what she was dreaming about while under the spell.
Becky: Maybe that a prince would come rescue her, and then it did happen… That would explain why she wanted to marry him so soon.
Violet: Well, good night Becky, see you in the morning. I can't wait for the rest of the week.
Becky: Good night Violet, and me too.
They both drift off to sleep…
Narrator: Meanwhile, in Miss Power's ship…
Miss Power: (Opening the small pouch and scoops up white powder into her hand) Tomorrow… One sniff of this and Word Girl won't be able to move a muscle! (Giving a wicked laugh)
Narrator: Oh no! Will Word Girl find that Miss Power is back and with something terrible that could harm her?! Stay tune in for the next part…
End of Part One…
