It’s 2 am and everybody in the power household is fast asleep; everybody except Max that is. William Energy, ordinarily known as power Bill, is awoken by loud bang downstairs. He turns to his wife Louis and whispers, “Hey Lo, did you heard that?”
“Hear what?” she sleepily replies.
Kickball
“I think someone’s downstairs. Stay here.” Bill grabs the Louisville Slugger he keeps next to the bed and quietly tiptoes down the hall. From the top of the stairs he can make out the faint yellowish glow from the kitchen light. Clank! The sound of a dropped frying pan echoes straight through the hall. Bill swallows his fears and continues. As he rounds the corner he’s met with…
“Max!!!” screams Bill. “What on god’s holy earth are you doing!?” Glancing nearby the kitchen, Bill discovers the incredible mess that his son made. The counter is overflowing with jars and bottles and boxes. A smorgasbord of dripping ice cream gallons, doughnut boxes, and empty candy wrappers pollute the room.
“Hi Dad! I couldn’t sleep so I opinion I’d make myself a minute snack!” exclaims Max, whose face is plastered with powdered sugar, chocolate syrup, and ice cream. Max has a horrible sweet tooth.
“Well eating all that gosh darn junk food isn’t going to make to sleep any better!”
Max knew this, but what Bill didn’t know was that his son was a super hero, Max Energy. When your cats stuck in a tree, who do you call? Max Energy. When his mom can’t find her car keys, who does she call? You got it. When an international jewel thief is on the prowl, who do you call? Well probably the Cia, but still, Max is one helpful guy. If superpowers were considered by good intent, he’d be unstoppable.
Maxes most recent nemesis is Rodger Wallington. Rodger should be in 6th grade, but due to his horrible attitude and blatant disrespect for everybody at school, his teachers opinion it would be wise to hold him back a year – to let him mature before entering middle school. Actually, this was a terrible idea. It made him even angrier and he took it out on everybody that got in his way.
The next day at recess, Max is enjoying his usual snack power pills, a pack of gummy gushers, when all of a sudden he hears a scream from the kickball field. “I’m not gunna go get it!”
“You kicked it Rodger, just go get it,” pleaded Suzy Pinkerton.
“What are you gunna do? Tell on me?” Suzy could feel the tears welling up as her eyes glassed over. ” Awe, you gunna cry? Should I call the Whambulance?”
“Hey! What’s the matter?” asks Max as he runs over.
“Rodger came over and punted our ball into the bushes,” Suzy managed to spit out.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go get it!” says Max as he takes off running. The qoute was that the bushes were on the other side of a stream. A stream that happened to be 4 feet deep and bordered the enter field. Max ran up and down the stream, looking for a section narrow sufficient to jump across. “There,” he opinion as he spotted a part of the stream that pulled in just sufficient that he might be able to make if he gives it his all. He takes off running, full speed ahead, and with all of his power he leaps over the river and just makes it to the other bank. Phew, that was close. Frantically scours the area for the ball, development sure not to be seen by any teachers. Students weren’t allowed over the river.
Up ahead, stuck in tree branches, Max spots the challenging red kick ball; but it’s out of his reach. He grabs a stick to knock it free. The ball falls down, hits a rock, and bounces into the water. He knew what he had to do. Without a hesitation, Max plunges into the water, grabbing the ball. But now he was caught in the river’s pull, flowing fast with current. He starts kicking and paddling; so fast that he beyond doubt starts to swim upstream! When he ultimately makes it back to Suzy he is soaking wet.
“Thanks Max! You’re the best,” Suzy said with a smile on her face. As she leans in to give him a peck on the cheek the bell rings.
“Well I guess we best get going.” Being a Super hero isn’t easy, but someone’s gotta do it.
Maybe it isn’t all the time bad to have a minute energy. Riddlin is Max’s kryptonite. Please, don’t use riddlin.
Max, Boy Superhero
