The Thundermans: Stuck In The Shadow [1]

Pressure

It was a normal average day at Hiddenville High. Phoebe and Cherry were walking down the hallway and noticed a sign on the wall near their lockers.

"Oh a talent show," Cherry said and turns to Phoebe, "You should do it!"

Phoebe shrugs, "Oh I don't know."

Cherry looks at her friend with a frown, "Come on, Phoebe. You have so much talent. Besides you can show off to Cole how amazing you are."

Phoebe smiled at that comment by Cherry, "Sure why not."

As Phoebe was about to sign up she saw a name she knew. Skyler Johnson was printed in Skye's handwriting.

"Huh," Phoebe paused as she looked at Skye's name.

"What?" Cherry asks.

Phoebe shakes her head as she wrote her name on the list, "Nothing never mind."

-THUNDERMANS-

It was a bit later in the day. Phoebe and Cherry arrived at the audition process of the talent show. Phoebe sees on stage some guy attempting to do magic tricks but failing.

Phoebe and Cherry found their seats and then looked around the room and noticed that Skye was sitting in one of the seats near the far right of the room. Her feet was resting on the back of another seat. Skye had a bored look on her face as she listened to the act on stage.

Rolling her eyes at the failure of a magician. She blew a bubble with her gum and then it popped when she saw Phoebe and Cherry in the room.

A sudden fear happened upon realizing someone she knew was in the room with her. Well, Skye knew the people in the room but not nearly as well as she knows Phoebe and Cherry, plus Phoebe is Max's sister so she might tell Max.

Phoebe walked over, "I didn't know you were trying out."

Skye frowns, "Because I wasn't telling people." Skye said.

Phoebe looks a bit confused, "Why not?" Phoebe asks.

Skye crossed her arms on her chest, "I don't want people to know I sing." Skye said.

"You sing?" Phoebe asks.

"Like really good?" Cherry asks.

Skye looks away, "Does it matter or not?" Skye asks.

From the staff checking off who is allowing in the show, they told the kid doing magic to get off the stage. Then they called out another act to go on stage. This was a dance group.

"I would've thought you would have told Max about this? Have him here as support." Phoebe said.

Skye glanced at Phoebe, "He's busy with his pranks. And other activities, besides it's a dumb talent show." Skye said.

Phoebe frowns, "But if you guys are friends, you should be here for each other." Phoebe said.

Skye got annoyed, "Can you just stop. It's a dumb talent show."

"If it was dumb then why are you here?" Phoebe asks.

Skye glares, then got up and walked away from Phoebe and Cherry. Leaving the two girls looking at each other in confusion.

-THUNDERMANS-

It was later in the day, Phoebe was back at home. She was reaching into the fridge and pulled out a juice box. She turned away from the kitchen noticing Max on the couch watching TV.

The Thunderman alarm went off saying a Super is approaching the house. Within seconds, Skye knocked and opened the door at the same time.

"Hiya," Skye said.
