9th

 

Excerpt from: Tweebs on a Mission

It was a normal day at Middleton High. At least, it started out normal. But in between classes, Ron Stoppable doubled over in pain. “Ah!”

 

“Ron?” Kim Possible asked in concern.

 

“It’s my stomach! It’s like its food poisoning or something. But everything at the Beuno Nacho is fresh!”

 

“Oh, Ron! I take you to the School Nurse,” Kim said.

Excerpt from: Invitation Trouble

“Stop following me, Daria!”

 

She turned around again. “You’re following me!”

 

Daria was about to retort when three enthusiastic boys ran past her. Quinn rolled her eyes.

 

“Hey, Quinn, can I carry your books?” Jeffy Mercer asked.

 

“Hey, Quinn, can I carry your... pencil?” Joey Black asked.

 

“Hey, Quinn, can I carry your, uh, um... got anything else?” Jamie White asked.

 

‘Would you be as enthusiastic if you knew…’ Quinn wondered.

Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady

“I see Spider-Man has a new side kick,” Octavius said as he smashed his way through after them.

 

 

“It's a coincidence,” Nina said as she stood in front of the lady. “We're not working together.”

 

“Hand her over!” Octavius said.

 

“No!” Nina said. She could see Spider-Man behind the new villain.

 

“I know you're there,” Octavius said. Rather quickly he used two actuators to grab both Nina and the older lady!

 

 

Spider-Man saw Octavius emerge from the room with both Aunt May and a disguised young lady. “Let them go!” he said.

 

“No! You've stuck your webs in my business for the last time! You are going to have either of these women's death on your conscience!”

 

“Shame on you!” he heard Aunt May whisper.

 

Whatever happened, he knew he would try to rescue Aunt May first. “Sorry,” he whispered to the younger lady. At least he didn't have to choose between Aunt May and MJ. Octavius then flung both of them in opposite directions. He then moved after Aunt May.

Nina saw Spider-Man go after the older woman. 'Of course,' she thought. She waited another second before calling for yet another emergency transport.

 

Peter sighed a sigh of relief as he caught Aunt May. But there was still time to catch the younger lady. He looked back and saw a strange light, but no sign of her. That was something to think about but first he had to get his aunt on the ground.

 

 

“We sure showed him,” Spider-Man said once they were on the ground.

 

“What do you mean 'we'?' May said. She didn't do anything.

 

“Oh.”

 

“And I know you weren't able to save the other woman. Sometimes people have to choose.”

 

“I know,” Spider-Man said quietly. He then shot a web and swung away.

 

Nina breathed deeply after materialising on the Calgary. The events were catching up to her. She thought of going back to the TARDIS and the Zero Room, but she also needed to go back to the Bugle.. “OK, beam me back to the Bank.”

 

Are you sure?” Alpha asked.

 

“I have to get back to the Bugle. It's near there,” Nina responded.

 

OK,” Alpha said.

 

 

Nina materialised and quicky found the dress she had taken off. She then rushed back to the Bugle offices. “Miss Lumber!” It was Jameson. “I'd like you to meet someone.”

 

“Who?” Nina asked as she entered Jameson's office.

 

“This is Peter Parker.”

 

'Good,' Nina thought. “Nice to meet you,” she said to the younger man. She shook his offered hand.

 

“Parker takes photos of that wall crawling menace,” Jameson explained.

 

Parker gave a look of annoyance. “I keep saying.”

 

“I know that, Parker. I understand you have photos of that incident with Doctor Octopus.”

 

“Doctor Octopus?” Peter asked incredulously.

 

“Professor Octavius. I came up with the nickname earlier today!” Jameson explained.

 

“Doesn't seem respectful,” Nina commented.

 

“Did I ask your opinion?” Jameson asked.

 

“I have the photos,” Peter interjected.

 

“Good! It will make a great first page tomorrow. Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man rob bank and take hostages!”

 

“That's not what I heard,” Nina said.

 

“Did I ask your opinion? Get back to work.”

 

“Yes, sir.”

Excerpt from: Encounter with Escarguantua

“Move back, Insecto,” Link said.

 

Insectosaurus moved back. The Snail took notice and started to turn.

 

“What now?” Ginormica asked.

 

“We try communicating with it,” Dr. Cochroach said.

Excerpt from: Armidale at Night

They were halfway around when they heard something. They backed up against each other, ready to draw their staves. After a few moments, Tia took out her torch and shone it around. “Probably a possum,” she guessed.

 

“Probably,” Daniel added. They waited a little longer before continuing around.

 

 

They got back to the College without trouble. However, as Tia swiped in, there was another sound.
