\[**April 15 2025**\]

alright--- let's see.... everything's here but, where are they? Hmm.......

\ **someone's knocking on the door**

right! Becky!! Thank God, if anyone can help me it's her...

*Stevie runs and opens the door*

Stevie" goodmorning Becky, I need your help."

Becky" woah ho Stevie, calm down. Respirar niña, now tell me what's up."

Stevie" I can't seem to find my lucky Starpods, and on another note, how's your morning?"

Becky" first of all.... they are in your couch. And second. Bueno gracias niña."

Stevie" thank you Becky! I literally would not know how to live without you."

Becky" hey, Hermanas por siempre. Remember?"

Stevie" of course, and now time to go to class before we become Pollo asado."

**after class**

alright! There's nothing like the feeling of beating up a villain. Hmmmmm...... did I left something? Eh, I'm probably worrying for nothing. Oh, I should check-in on Becky-- I meant Bestia Reina!!

Stevie" Reigna come in over."

Becky" copy Brightstar, I'm on route to you."

Stevie" copy that Reigna, see you at our rendezvous."

Becky" see you there."

Random guy" thank you."

Becky" no pressure, take care."

after one very normal Rber ride, and dang nam'it! I forgot to bring my Starpods!!! Uh..... oh well, so much for that. Well on the bright side at least now I can go back to music, good food and--- Movies!!!!

Becky" hey mi hermana! So, ready to vete a casa?"

Stevie" tots, oh Becky btw do you wanna watch some movies?"

Becky" hmm--- sure. Can I bring my Amado?"

Stevie" of course! I'll see you later. Adiós."

Becky" oh, niña wait a sec, why don't you invite Priya?"

Stevie"..... Oh. My. Gosh. Becky that's a great idea! Thanks!! See you."

**after a few hours of prep**

alrighty... final mental note checklist, Movies? Done. Snacks? Done. Cozy pillows? Done. Drinks? Done. Now--- all that's left is to--

**doorbell ringing**

OMG!!!!!! Eeep-- Stevie stay calm, breathe... just be cool.

**Stevie opens door**

Priya" hi Stevie, it's good to see you."

Stevie" thanks, it's good to see you too."

Stevie" c'mon in, make yourself at home."

Priya" oh, alright. Thanks... so--- do you live here by yourself?"

Stevie" mmhmm--- Becky & Rome should be here soon."

Becky" hey Hermana! Let's get this night started."

Becky" hi you're Priya right? I'm Becky and this is Rome mi Amado..."

Priya" yes. It's nice to meet you two, so what are we watching?"

Stevie" let's see."

**one century later**

*Suspenseful background music*....

*movie MC screaming*

ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

dammit why do they always make scary movies This scary... hold on a minute--- I'm grabbing Priya's arm or maybe this is some kind of dream?...

Priya" comfortable? Cause I am..."

Stevie"{blush}I'm sorry Priya..."

Priya" why apologize? I'm perfectly fine."

O.M.G. Is Priya flirting with me???!!!!!

Rome" mi amor, you can open your eyes now."

Becky" thank you mi Amado."

thank God!!! The movies done.... now I'm pretty sure I've got a few party games lying around somewhere..... got it!!

Stevie" so which game should we play?"

Becky" puzzles? Hard pass."

Rome" Ooh, we could do Karaoke."

Stevie" great. Except, my neighbors really like their peace and quiet... sorry Rome."

Rome" no hay problema Stevie."

Priya" how about Monopoly truth or dare?"

Stevie" I'm down. Becky? Rome?"

Becky" count us in, niña."

**a few dice roll later**...

Rome" Ahem. Not to be a sour stick here but, how am I the only one with stuck holding a yoga pose. Whaaagh."

Becky" you're doing great mi Amado. Just a couple minutes."

Stevie" alright, Priya choose your poison?"

Priya" dare."

Stevie" I dare you to..... flirt with me."

Priya" alright, darling. Maybe you can help me?"

Stevie" how?"

Priya" tell me, do you taste as sweet as you look?"

Priya" why don't we see, Stevie."

Stevie" that was-- pretty good."

Priya" thank you. Maybe next time I'll get to taste just how sweet you are."

Priya" ah- now it's my turn, Stevie truth or dare?"

Stevie" truth."

Priya" what do you think of me?"

Stevie"{blush} I think you're great."

well... if I have to be honest it's more like smart, amazing, hot AF! Funny, and overall someone I look up to. But there's no way I'm saying that. And of course time flies by way to fast-- saying goodbye sort of makes me feel bittersweet, but with class and hero work it may be for the best....

**the next day**

waking up, to a slight hangover and a bit of 'I wish I had more time' syndrome it's a pretty ok morning. Now better to get started before Becky arrives.

**door knocking**

Becky" niña! We're going to be late."

Becky" vamos niña! Vamos."

**Stevie opens door in a hurry**

Stevie" I'm here! I'm here... lo siento, Becky."

Stevie" alright let's go."

Becky" that's the espíritu mi hermana."

**later after class**

criminal dude" ha- try to catch me?! See if you can!"

Stevie" alright."

breathe--- now! Kicking it full speed, it only takes a couple minutes to take em down and this got boring real quick... uuggghhhh, seriously isn't there a single criminal who'll pose any kind of danger? Jeez.... well at least I stopped the guy.

clerk lady" help! Theives!!"

finally! Alright, let the game begin... running, jumping, I'm a little surprised at how good these thieves are.. they got skills. Radioing Bestia Reina, it takes a second until she responds and at this point I'm kinda needing that. Alright, now with Reina comin here I feel a itty bitty bit better... alright--- here we go!

Stevie" gotcha!!"

Scarlett in red" hey, this is a little fast don't you think?"

Stevie" what? Just--- hand over the jewels."

Scarlett in red" sorry darling, we'll have to continue this some other time."

wait.... what????? Is she seriously, flirting with me.....

Reina" Brightstar! I'll get the other guy you take care of her."

Becky" got it!"

Scarlett in red" oh what a shame, to thought I'd be able to persuade you."

getting a knee to the gut, makes me laugh. Being powerless this is nothing, now claiming my prize I easily take the jewels from her pocket, but wait... what's up with this smoke?

Scarlett in red" baby, be a good girl and give me those diamonds.."

wait what am I doing?!!! No!!! Hands stop!!! hold on.... this oughta do it. Punching my gut I snap out of whatever that was.. now time to go. Running as fast as I can I manage to put some distance but that distance is getting uncomfortably shorter, great.... no! Keep running Stevie!!!

Scarlett in red" Darling, I'd love to play with you but like I have said I need to go. With those diamonds."

hearing a cold snap in her voice, my legs suddenly stops... What The Flip!!!! Move! Dang nam'it! Move!!!!

Priya" hey."

Stevie" Priya! I need your help!"

Oh no....

Priya" no... this can't be...."

Scarlett in red" Priya, I must say I didn't expect to see you. How've you been?"

Priya" not for you to know."

Scarlett in red" Priya, don't tell me you're still upset... it was just business."

Scarlett in red" as always it's been a pleasure, tata.."

twirling her seemingly small cape it fans out in the air to a-- wing? Flying away there goes my chance. Uuggghhhh---- just great...... Wait, Priya! Oh my gosh I should check in on her...

Stevie" you okay? It sorta seem liked you seen a ghost."

Priya"....."

okay, this is totally not at all starting to creep me out... No! Stevie, this is your chance to be a shoulder for her. Alright just be cool.... sliding my arm around her shoulder, seems to finally snap her out of it-- at least for now.

Priya".. yes, I'm fine. Thank you."

Priya" Stevie, I'm sorry..."

Stevie" hey, hey, it's okay--- just take some deep breaths. Okay?"

Stevie" I'm sure some other heroes will get them."

Priya" thanks, I'm alright. Really--- are you? You took quite a bit of damage."

Stevie" oh these? Yeah, I'm fine... no problemo."

hmmmmm.... what's that? A card???

Stevie" what????!!!!!! She's a hero?!?!?!?!?!!!"

Priya" really?!"

Stevie" yeah, it says it right here on this card."

Priya" huh. Well, that's--- interesting."

Stevie" you can definitely say that again."
