Intro - Chapter 1
Smoke is rising out of the city, the sun is almost setting. A huge shadow towers over the once peaceful city. An enormous creature, covered in dark energy and oozing green from various parts of its body, stands on all fours and lets out a horrible cry. Suddenly in the middle of the screaming, the creatures gets smacked across the face with a powerful punch! The creature falls to it's side then looks at the strange phenomenon that attacked it. There, levitating in the sky, was a tiny blonde high school girl. She was a medium fit girl with freckles and a red cape. She had a red and blue one piece that covered her whole body. Her blonde hair tussled in front of her face in the wind as she glared at the creature. With an annoyed tone she shouts
"lets make this quick, I have a date!"
The creature looks absolutely terrified as she zooms from her location and obliterates the creature with one last punch. The dark energy and green ooze dissipate into the air. A helicopter with a camera crew are filming her and she quickly blows a kiss to the camera.
The TV gave a play by play of the entire interaction of the mysterious super hero and the unknown creature. In the living room a young boy sits there with a worried look on his face during the fight, but quickly let's out a sigh of relief as the super hero destroys the creature. The girl blows a kiss to the camera and the boy blushes.
******** Steven
Earlier that day
My name is Steven, I'm just an ordinary kid. I'm pretty average honestly. Brown hair, green eyes, 5'8". I do ok in school but I don't really know why I'm learning most of this stuff in the first place. I Don't really know what I want to do yet either. Right now I'm just trying to survive! It seems every other day there is a new mist creature around the corner. I don't know how they always seem to find me. But it's usually ok because Francine, I call her Fran, usually takes care of them before anything bad happens. As if she was summoned from my thoughts, Fran appeared in the alleyway between me and the mist monster, with a quick strike from her deadly fist, the creature disappeared into the void.
"You ok Steven? Thankfully this Boogy seemed pretty slow!"
Fran smiled with her whole face, you could tell she was happy to see you when ever you talked to her. She was wearing a a school uniform with a suit coat and skirt instead of her super hero costume. She had blonde hair tied up in a low ponytail when she wasn't super, and she wore glasses too. She wouldve been unrecognizable if I didn't know any better.
"I'm alright, just fell because I was startled. They always seem to come out of the alley ways when I least expect it. And you can stop calling them boogies I know they aren't the Boogy man now"
Fran laughed playfully,
"I don't know what else to call them though"
She scrunched up her face in deep thought as she considered another nickname for the monsters.
"Maybe we should just call them monsters?..."
I suggested.
" aww you're no fun!"
Fran said with a pouty face. She always made the cutest faces. She was always good at using her faces to get what she wanted. Ever since we were kids she would always ask for the other half of my Popsicle after she ate all of hers. Then she would start to cry when I said that I was actually planning on eating it since she already had one. I always ended up giving her my other half though since I couldn't stand to see her cry. I smiled as I remembered how cute she was back then. In the distance the sound of a school bell rang.
"we'd better hurry or we'll really be late!"
I started to rush forward, but as I was about the put my foot forward I felt my body turn and suddenly I was cradled in Fran's arms... she was holding me now.
" This will be much faster!"
Fran said with a grin as she used her super speed to get us to school. Feeling a little embarrassed to be held in this way I covered my face as I was probably blushing quite a bit. We quickly arrived near the school in an alley way where we wouldn't be seen by the other students, she looked around and put me down. My heart was racing since I was basically just staring at her the entire time. Today was the day, I was going to finally ask her out on a date.
****** Francine
The feeling of the wind rushing through my hair is so excillerating, plus I get to hold Steven which is a major plus! After feeling quite proud of the fact that I was holding my crush in my arms and running around the block a couple times to hold him longer, I eventually stopped in an alley way. I hate to put him down, but I guess it's for the best... Steven looks so flustered hehe awww.
Steven and I walk into class and take our seats right next to each other. Thankfully Steven is pretty smart because honestly I can't really pay attention in class, I'm usually pretty distracted during school since I'm so close to him. He always smells so nice, I don't know if it's his cologne or just his natural musk, I should ask him sometime so I can buy it for myself... hopefully that's not creepy to ask... The day flies buy and I learned basically nothing, my brain usually feels pretty fried right about now. Steven started walking up to me after class and said,
"Did you get any of that? I was pretty distracted today, I couldn't take any notes..."
Aww look at him all flustered from earlier.
"Steven, you already know the answer to that..."
He slumped forward, sighed and took a deep breath,
"FRAN!"
He kinda shouted it, loud enough for the other students to hear and the room got silent. It must've been on accident because he suddenly stopped talking and his face got all red. Why was he acting so weird today? It's not like I haven't carried him before...
"...uh, we should stop by that hotdog stand on our way back home! It's the weekend so let's get a treat! I'll buy!"
I'm always down for a good hotdog or two! We left the school and walked our usual way home, until we were the only ones left on the street. Then Stephen stopped,
"What's wrong?"
I asked. He seemed so strange today, maybe the boogy scared him earlier today, poor guy.
"uh, Fran... um what are you doing tomorrow?"
Tomorrow? I don't know. You think I've planned that far ahead, I'm just looking forward to a nice juicy hot dog right now. Suddenly I saw something behind Steven. A black figure emerged from the ground,
"Duck!"
I cried, Steven almost instinctively went into fetal position giving me enough room to strike at the boogy. This one was fast, it seemed to anticipate my moves, making a sideways lunge towards me. It spat ooze right at my feet, I jumped forward quickly grabbing the Boogy by the claw? foot? I'm not really sure what this thing was, they always came in different shapes and sizes. This particular Boogy seemed to crawl on all fours. I lifted it up with one hand and slammed it into the concrete where it's black bits splattered then disappeared.
"ugh they always come right when I want to ask you."
Steven seemed disappointed, I guess he wasn't really shaken up about the boogies then.
" Ask me what? Out on a date!?"
I teased a little. I know he isn't going to ask anything romantic I just wanted to mess with his head hehe. His whole face looked shocked, like he just got hit on the head or something.
" uhhh How did you know!?"
