The Amazing Adventures of Ice-Girl, Part One


The call for rescue had come and Ice-Girl was on the way!! Slinging her annoying red cape out of the way, she lept from the nearest high curb and narrowly avoided being hit by a bus. The bus driver shook his fist at our dramatic heroine (no, not the drug) and roared on through the busy city streets. Ice-Girl stuck her tongue out at the receding bus and raced to the nearest crosswalk where she crossed very properly with the other pedestrians. Her blinky watch told her that someone out there was still in trouble!! Would she make it??? Her watch began to beep, slowly at first, then faster and faster as she approached her victim---er, rescue mission. Far down the block, there was a cluster of people gathered around something that was probably very interesting, but was just slowing traffic down. Ice-Girl sprinted past them, glancing down as she did. She gasped with shock!! It was a teenage mutant armadillo!!!! But the call for her heriocs was too strong to ignore. Ice-Girl ran towards the prone figure laying on the sidewalk next to a very large blue van. As she neared, she suddenly realized it was....California Brittanie!!!! Her younger brothers, a.k.a. hot water bottles a.k.a. HWBs, stood next to her in shock.

"Save us, Ice-Girl! Save us!!!" They cried.

Ice-Girl heeded their call and handed California Brittanie a cup of ice she had dispensed from her mouth into an insta-cup she had created by thinking really hard about dead spoons.

"Ahhhh....." California Brittanie quickly returned to her normal state. "Thank you, Ice-Girl! You're the hero of all of us!!"

"Happy to help." Ice-Girl replied with a small smile. "I'd forgotten how warm your body was."

Suddenly Ice-Girl's watch began to flash again.

"Keep cool!" She cried as she lifted her feet to run again. "On to save the center of the universe from the heat!!!"
