The next morning Arizona woke up from bed when she smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen. She went downstairs when she saw her sister cooking.

Later that day, Arizona went out to chalk on the sidewalk. As she was drawing she saw Jason, Ralph, Carny, and his dog Butler walked up to her.

“Hey, Arizona.” Jason said.

“What do you guys want from me?” replied Arizona as she kept her eye on Jason’s dog.

“What makes you think we want something from you?”

“You're walking up to me, you guess.”

“Hmm, what’s that your drawing?” Ralph asked.

“Pigeon.”

“Hey, check it out, is that US!?” Carny asked offendedly.

“No, I-” Arizona stuttered.

“That is us. So is Pigeon beating us up, huh?” Jason pushed Arizona on the ground.

“What's your problem, bro!?” Arizona said, upset.

“Run.” Jason said. Arizona looked at Jason’s hand as he was about to let go of the leash.

“I said, RUN!!” Jason let go of the leash and told his dog to eat her.

Arizona got up off the ground and took off running. The boys followed the dog as it was chasing after Arizona. She ran threw the neighborhood streets, cutting lanes and traffic, trying her best way to escape them

“He just wants to play, hahaha!!” Jason laughed, wickedly.

The loud vicious bark of the dog terrified Arizona. The dog began to catch up to her. It bit off a piece of her pants. Arizona’s heart started to pump faster. She saw a cut where she could escape. She juked to the right really fast, having the dog stumble and trip. She climbed a fence, but it was a dead end. She heard the dog bark getting closer. She looked for a hiding spot when she saw a trash dumpster. She hopped in the dumpster just in time.

“Where is that little brat?” Jason said. Arizona could hear them get close to the dumpster. She silently prayed that they wouldn't find her. Luckily, God listened. An old man came out of the back of his butcher shop.

“Get from over here you lousy kids!”

“Come on guys, we’ll get her next time.” Jason said as he kicked a can.

After the old man and the twisted trio left, Arizona lifted up the dumpster lid and she stood up. She saw something pink that the sunlight was shining on. She got curious, so she moved the trash out the way and grabbed the pink thing that was hiding inside this dumpster.

“Woah.” she said, it was a pink superhero type suit. Leather/spandex and it came with a cape.

“Who would throw this away?” as she kept looking at the suit, an idea came to her head. She jumped out of the dumpster and took the suit home with her.

Coming home, Arizona quickly ran up stairs to her room. She closed and locked the door. She grabbed her designer kit her mom and dad bought for her before they'd died. 10 minutes later, Arizona was finally done with the redesign of her suit. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She did a few fighting moves as well. She sat on her bed and thought for a moment.

“What can I do with this?” she said to herself. Then she looked at her Pigeon poster and smiled.

“I know, I can become a superhero. A superhero that stops bullies. But what will be my name?” Arizona thought and then she took a glimpse at her cape. She jumped on her bed and did a heroic pose.

“I know, I will be… Pink Wing.” Maybe trash isn’t the only thing that dumpsters hold. Sometimes if you look real good, there might be some treasures.
