  • Dedicated to Madame, the best teacher ever!
                                    

Madame didn't know what to think. This was--indescribable. Yet somehow, describable at the same time. She was flying with two of her students who were secretly superheroes with awesome powers of which she was extremely jealous. In fact, she was so caught up in the moment that she didn't notice that Hexa had removed the magic bubble from around her and that she herself was now standing up.

Then she snapped out of it. She looked at the ground, at her "students," and at the rock she was floating on.

"I've said this once, and I'll say it again," she said breathlessly. "You two are amazing."

Hexa stopped in mid-flight. Her eyes looked....lost. Like she was caught in a memory or something.

"Um, Bri--I mean, Hexa, are you all right?" she ventured. Still, superhero or not, this girl was her student.

"Uh..." Hexa snapped out of it. "Oh, yeah, I'm okay, I guess. It's just, you said a trigger word. It's probably not very important to you, but it brings back overwhelming memories. Just--ah, never mind. It's not very important anyway..." and her voice faltered.

"Okay!" said Terra, trying to brighten the mood. "Well, we've taken you up and out of the Nerd Side of the Forest."

"Th-the Nerd Side of the Forest?" Madame questioned.

"Yeah, the Nerd Side. There's the Dark Side of the Forest, the Light Side of the Forest, and the Nerd Side of the Forest," Hexa explained.

"We will now show you the rest of IO Island," Hexa explained.

So they did, and they had much fun while doing so. Suddenly, Madame yelled for them to stop.

"What is it?" Hexa asked.

"I have something I want to show you guys," she said with a bit of a sly tone to her voice. With that, she jumped off of Terra's stone--and didn't fall.

"So," Hexa began, playfully arching an eyebrow," you didn't really have a reason to be jealous, did you?"

"Nope," their teacher responded with a smile. "That down there was just an act."

"You're good at acting," Terra stated.

"Yeah, well, I've had practice."

Then Terra's face grew more seriuos. "You must tell no one about this. Not even your family. You are a French teacher, not a scientific exhibit. With great power comes great responsibility, or something along those lines."

"But now, you're more than a French teacher. Well, you always have been, and we love you for just being you. But now, you're even more than that! You are your own hero. You are..." Hexa struggled to find a name.

"I am Madamination!" Madame announced. "Yes!"

"Yes, that's perfect!" Terra exclaimed.

"And that's all you really need to be for us," Hexa glanced away, blushing slightly.

And out of nowhere, they both hugged Madame.
