Sidekicks Wanted

Girl America here, stopping by after saving a small kitten from almost certain disaster involving prickly pears and a chocolate popsicle.  (Don't ask.)  Stars the Mighty is a hero I admire because, not only does he use his heart and extraordinary powers, he uses his brains.  He has a team.  Teams are important.  Evil villains usually tend to focus their diabolical schemes on destroying the hero.  In the meantime, the team members (I tend to prefer sidekicks as they draw less attention) can sneak in and save the day.  Why do you think Heroes have such flashy constumes?  Trick of the eye and a distraction.  Now, what makes a good sidekick?  The same things that make good team members:  wisdom, loyalty, integrity, courage, and a talent (some would also argue for good snacks).  Everyone has these somewhere inside them, like small seeds.  They grow if you give them Light (i.e., the Forces of Good).  Some choose to develop their gifts for evil.  Squirrels do that.  They look sweet and cuddly, that's their costume.  It lets them live longer and do more damage.  Very clever.  If they appeared as a hurking 200 story tall green monster with claws and teeth, well, we all know how that turns out.  Instant targets.  But if evil seems glamorous or (worse yet because it induces apathy) harmless, then good people, Sidekicks, and even Heroes, sometimes miss the fact that they are indeed evil.  They let them live and sometimes even feed them peanuts.  Dastardly plot!!!  So remember, as Stars the Mighty said, you know heroes (and by extension sidekicks, teammembers, and all good) by  their smell and taste.  Thanks again Stars the Mighty!  You do amazing work out there in the West.  Always proud to know you and share the same skies.

Heroes Need Theme Songs

Heroes need theme songs.  My theme song is A Little Less Talk A Lot More Action the Remix by Elvis, who was really a Force of Good even if he couldn't find the cheese.  When I hear the theme song I know it is time to play Pink.  The Evil Squirrels do not like theme songs because they do not have any theme songs of their own.  Girl America has a theme song.  It is the golden girl, Supergirl.  It is a fiesty song because she is fiesty.  She makes the Evil Squirrels run screaming for their holes.  When Stars is sad and misses Girl America, he listens to her theme song.  Girl America needs Stars' theme song for when she is sad.  Then she will not be sad because she will think of Pink and cheese and socks and her Stars.  Stars misses Girl America, she is away on a secret assignment to fight the Evil Squirrels in Montana.  Because there are a lot of Evil Squirrels in Montana, almost as many as in the Big City.  But Stars cannot tell you her secret assignment because then it would not be secret and the Evil Squirrels have learned how to use the computer baby.  And even though her Stars knows that she is doing the work of Good, he misses smelling her hair and stealing her socks.  Maybe her Stars needs to send her cheese.  The Evil Squirrels of Montana are in deep trouble.  And Stars laughs.  Now it is time for my nap because I am only 7 and even superheroes need naptimes and then cheese.
