Stay Chill

Feeling Like A New Hero

It was a good accomplishment of what Luna did. Stopping those band of burglars from stealing Mr. Grouse' valuable belongings and priceless gems. Those hand of stinkers will certainly be locked up for a long time for the crime they just committed, all thanks to Luna and her new powers.

She was looking at her Mick Swagger poster on the ceiling and she smiled with her hands behind her head. "Well Mick, I did it. I took down a bunch of bad guys with my sweet powers."

"That you did, Luna." The poster said. Of course, this was just a figment of Luna's imagination. "You certainly showed those blokes how to not steal and break and enter into someone's castle." He made the devil horn gesture with his two hands. "What you did was certainly metal."

Luna smiled proudly and she replied to the poster: "thanks, Mick. I know this is just a poster talkin' to me, but still."

"Too right, luv. I am a figment of your imagination. When you meet the real me, I am sure he would be proud of you."

"Right?" Then she got out of the bed and began playing on her guitar some more. It was a good thing that when she got her powers, she didn't lose her ability to play any instrument she could get her hands on. As she played on and on, the bedroom door suddenly flew open.

It was Lori and Luan. They both looked excited and had four bags of money with them. "Luna, guess what!" Said Luan. "You got a reward for capturing those burglars."

"Reward? Like green stuff rewards?"

"Yeah! Those three guys were wanted in twenty states and they had a big load of money on their wanted posters."

"Really? How much?"

"The leader was literally worth five-thousand dollars, Malcolm and and Frankie were worth three-thousand dollars."

Luna could hardly believe what she was hearing about those three drinkers she put to justice. "Wow. With that, it makes... one, two, three," she gasped. "Eleven-thousand dollars!" She didn't think they were worth that much cash. Here, give me the sponduli. I wanna see it."

Both Lori and Luan looked a little reluctant, and Luan said: "aren't you gonna share it with us?"

"Now girls." Said Lynn Sr, walking past them. "If Luna turned those criminals over to the police, she rightfully deserves the reward for doing so."

"Thanks, pops." Said Luna. She felt the bags of money being handed over to her and she could hardly feel the weight of them.

"But, I think you should think before spending it on something pricey honey. Maybe put it in an savings account."

"I'll think about it. Wouldn't want anyone to steal these babies."

"Yeah, you should literally keep them in a safe place." Lori agreed.

"Besides you?" Luna joked with a small laugh.

"Oh ha ha, very funny." Luan sneered. "Anyway. I need to clean Mr. Coconuts again." She went in her funny chest and pulled out her dummy to wipe with a wet rag.

Lori went back to texting Bobby on her phone again and Luna was thinking of a safe place to hide her well-earned money from anyone trying to steal it. It would have to be a place where no one would ever look until she decided to put it in the bank for safe keeping. Thinking to herself, she thought if Lisa could build a box for her to store in and only activates and opens at the sound of her own voice. Still, she was sinking in to the feeling of her dad's advice of putting it to the bank being a good idea.

Going over to Lisa, she asked her for what she wanted with the money, and Lisa promptly said: "I suppose I can get it done, but it will take a number of days. Probably up to almost a week."

"Almost a week?" said Luna: "Bogus! You sure you can't take a whole day?"

"Science is not as easy as it sounds, Luna. Not to mention I am being punished for accidentally freezing you."

"Right. Kinda forgot about that."

"And science is like art, and you can't rush art." Lisa added.

"Yeah, i've been there." Luna admitted flatly. "Well, I don't know if I can wait that long for a machine to keep my money safe. Someone might steal them from me." Poking her head past Lisa and Liky's door, she cautiously looked for anything suspicious from her siblings that would tell her that they want to steal all of this money she earned. "And you'll never know who will steal it."

Lincoln approached from behind her. He gently tapped his finger in her right shoulder. "Luna?" He said. "Do you feel like a hero?"

"Heck yeah, lil bro!" Luna replied with enthusiasm. She even played a killer tune in her guitar that sounded stinking, yet satisfying for her ears. "A superhero."

"Nice. So I take it you got the reward for turning in those bad guys?"

"Totally. I'm gonna keep it somewhere safe." Then an idea came up in her head. "On second thought, I think I know what I should spend it on."

"What's that?"

"Well... I was thinking about that guitar I saw on TV. It looked pretty sick and a pretty good sound." The rocker girl remembered that little commercial. She was brainstorming on it, and wondered if that guitar was something she really, really, really wanted to purchase with her well-deserved money.

Looking a little curious, Lincoln asked: "are you sure that's what you want? I mean, look at what happened to your guitar. It looks so cook and it sounds more heavy than before."

The rocker girl smirked. "No argument there. It sounds way more rockin' than ever. You know what, now that you mention it, I don't think I need that guitar." She looked at her changed ax again.

"Well. I'm not going to stop you, it's your money and it's your call."

"Thanks, dude."

"Hey. Do you ever consider being a superhero?" Lincoln. "The way you handled those criminals, you should consider it and protect Royal Woods from any danger."

"I think that would be awesome." Luna said. "Better than working at a boring job like a conformist, man. Fight the power!"

"Totally. Fighting crime, and stopping bad guys.," Lincoln agreed.

"Say, I know another cool tric, bro. You wanna see it?"

"Sure. What?"

"Come with me downstairs." They were in the kitchen and Luns pulled out a cupcake cone for ice cream, and zapped at it with her powers, creating two scoops of vanilla ice cream, and it looked delicious and sparkly under the light. "Ta-da!"

"Wow. That's so cool." Lincoln said in astonishment.

"Here you go. You deserve a nice yummy treat, Lincoln."

"Thanks." Taking the first lick of his ice cream, Lincoln thought it was so delicious and it was another thing he and Luna were happy about. Now that she had ice powers and is now Luna Frost, she can produce scoops of any kind of ice cream out of thin air.

Yes, Luna was certainly feeling like a big hero after saving a neighbor from losing his personal belongings, and she hoped that there will he more crime to fight in the future.
