*That night*

“Mama! Okaa-san!” I yell, “I’M ON THE TV!”

“I’m coming, I’m coming!” she calls from the back, bustling into the room with pins sticking out of her mouth. She pulls them out, looking guilty. “Don’t walk around like Mama just did, sweetie, it’s dangerous.”

I giggle, but only a little because I’m ON THE TV! I point, practically vibrating with excitement. “Look!”

On the TV is a reporter, who’s standing near the park where the party is—I can see myself and Evie and the boys and everyone behind her. We look FABULOUS! Around the reporter are the teens that had scared me. The girl that had said I was cute is talking.

“So first this little girl in a dress gets out of the car, which isn’t that big of a deal,” she says, “I mean, the dress was really pretty, so—”

“Melly here thought she could wear something like that,” a boy says, bursting out laughing.

“I could TOTALLY pull off a dress like that, I just don’t,” the girl says, her face red with embarrassment and anger.

“It’s a little girl’s—” the boy starts out.

“I think you would look beautiful in any dress,” the reporter tells her.

“Um… thanks,” the girl says, smiling, now. “But then she was about to leave, probably because she’s a super, right? She heard this jerk laugh at me!” she goes on, glaring at the boy. “And then Cold Steel showed up!”

“Are all the children wearing masks?” the reporter asks in a whisper as the camera turns towards our group.

“Yeah, I think so,” the girl whispers back.

“So we have our biggest names in super villainy hosting a tea party for future villains!” the news reporter declares, excitedly. “What good… I mean, how devious! They’re luring them to the dark side with cookies!”

I would usually laugh my head off at a line like that, but I’m too stunned. “He was laughing at her?” I ask Mama.

“I think,” she says, “he was teasing her because he likes her.”

“But that’s a terrible way to treat someone you like!” I say, getting irritated. “He should tell her that she’d be beautiful in a dress! I… I want to design her one that will make him stop talking mean!” I decide, running off to my workroom. “He’s gonna be sorry he laughed!” I yell.

“Are you certain you’re not going villain?” I hear her ask, but I’m too busy digging out my colored pencils to reply.
