It was Sunday in Slant City, the perfect time to laze around, loaf in your room all day and generally just not be worried about a single thing that's happening in the world right now. Well, other than the upcoming test that Mrs. Johnson will be handing out tomorrow, but aside from that? Totally chill. And what better way to spend the day other than wasting away watching anime? See, it even rhymes! Valerie practically locked herself inside her own room as she watched episode after episode of the latest trending show, the theme song even getting stuck in her head and she couldn't help but sing along whenever it comes on in her laptop.

Just now she was in the middle of watching the final episode of the season, the all knowing kami-sama knows just how much the girl had to scour the Internet in order to find a decent quality version of it, with subtitles! But before she rejoice in her festivities her cell phone began to play a loud J-Pop tune that made Valerie groan, disappointed that her anime will have to wait. She picked up her phone to see that the one who was calling her was Jenny, her all-time BFF! Ever since 4th Grade too! The girl cleared her throat in order to sound like the soft-spoken and demure girl she always projected at school in order to convince Jenny. [b][i]"Yes? What is it?"[/i][/b] She asked.

Jenny shrieked in joy followed by a quick conjunction of words that Valerie could not understand at all...Something about a sale? Her friend had practically begged her to come along and spend the rest of her weekend shopping with her. The girl wanted to decline, her anime was waiting for her [b]RIGHT THERE[/b], but she didn't want to make Jenny feel bad...What would she think of Valerie then? What would happen to their friendship then? The teen sighed in disbelief and vowed to herself that she'll just watch it once she gets back. After a quick change of clothes, she went out of her house in order to meet with her friend.

[b][i]"Do you think I look good in this?[/i][/b] Her friend asked, trying on a pink frilly shirt that just screamed [i]'Cutesy'[/i]. Truth be told, Jenny wore it amazingly! It really fit her image. Valerie just nodded in agreement and as the two left the boutique they were passing by a diner that caught Valerie's eye. In the diner was a man in a big and orange metallic suit that looked like he just came out of a space museum for kids. To her utter shock, he just tased the store's only cashier!! Jenny stopped on her tracks to watch the same thing as her friend was and the two girls just shrieked in terror as the big lug just electrocuted another person! If there was any time to stop him it would be now. Luckily, Valerie has packed all of her equipment, call it paranoia but she was definitely ready for a test run with her homemade gadgets! Excusing herself from her friend and ducking to a nearby alley, she quickly took out all of her stuff and began to hastily wear her costume, stuffing her casual clothes in her bag. One thing stuck in her mind though; It's broad daylight, she can't let anyone see her face! Having no choice, Valerie took out one of her paper walls and cut out enough of it so that her face would be covered, leaving only her eyes and her hair open to the public. Ready to take on her first villain and make her grand debut, Valerie rushed to the entrance of the diner, using her ninja reflexes to stay concealed...And then...

In a puff of smoke she appeared! Partially coughing from the gradual amount of it all. She took out one of her shurikens and threw it at the big man hoping to get his attention. [b][i]"Ne! Who do you think you are, you baka?!"[/i][/b] The citizens around her just stared at her in wide-eyed disbelief, thinking this must all be some sort of freak show.
