Crisis of Confidence

*Night in Reynard City. For once everyone is asleep...*

Vibes: No...No...No...

*Vibes is enormously inflated. She looks on as her friends are all robots. As she floats people point, laugh and throw caramel in her mouth*

Voice: You are useless Vibes McAllister. You failed to save your planet. You didn't save your parents. You are a big, blimpy joke!

*the next day*

Van: *walks into the house* Vibes?

*Vibes appears at the door, looking bleary eyed*

Vibes: Oh...hi.

*Van looks worried*

Van: You don't look so good.

Vibes: I'll be honest Van I haven't been sleeping so good...

Van: maybe you should talk to Anty

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: Yeah. It's at that point where I'm wondering what's real and what's...

*Vibes clutches her head*

Vibes: Hold that thought, work's calling!

*Transforms*

Van: Are you sure about this?

Vibes: I'll get back to Anty's as soon as I can, trust me!

*Van looks hesitantly*

Van: Oh...okay...

*Van then holds his head*

Voice in Van's head: You are all becoming weaker...You need to stop...

Van: ngh..... w...what the?

Voice in Van's head: You need to warn Vibes. She's about to make a fool out of herself. They all
are. Do you want to be responsible for them getting hurt?

Van: .....better not chance it *runs after Vibes*

*Vibes speeds toward a mugger*

Vibes: OK you time to get your butt kicked!

*The mugger looks shocked, allowing his potential victim to run off*

Vibes: Yeah that's right!

*Vibes trips over*

Vibes: Whoa!

Van: *catches up* Vibes!

*Vibes scowls*

Vibes: It's ok Van I've got this!

*She smiles*

Vibes: STTTTRENGTH MODE!

*Her body becomes enormously muscular. As she tries to hit the mugger she falls over*

Vibes: Whoa!

Van: oh crap

*Vibes struggles to lift herself up*

Vibes: Van...stop him!

Van: *tackles the mugger* just focus on returning to normal

*Vibes shuts her eyes*

Voice: You're an idiot Vibes. He knows you're an idiot!

Vibes: I'm not an idiot!

*She looks up and realises she said that out*

Van: are you ok V?

*Vibes groans*

Vibes: I don't know. I think I just need some sleep.

*Van raises an eyebrow*

Van: O...kay.

Voice in Van's head: She is a failure Van. You can feel her incompetence infecting you.

Van: *shakes his head* go rest V

*Vibes yawns*

Vibes: Oh...okay.

Voice in Vibes' head: Yes. Take yourself out of the game. Moron.

Van: *take the mugger to the cops*

*Back in Vixen House*

Vibes: Daytime TV. Ugh.

*Vibes flops on the sofa and naps...*

IN VIBES' DREAM...

*Vibes looks round and sees Sal, Van and everyone are inflated*

Vibes: What the...?

Sal: Vibes what did you do to us?

Van: You really screwed up this time you idiot!

Vibes: I...I'm sorry!

Amber: Sorry won't get us back to normal Moron!

Amber: you're nothing BUT a screw up!

*Vibes is in tears*

Vibes: No...This...this isn't true!

Sal: All the villains need is some caramel and you're useless. You're pointless AK Blimp.

Vibes: Stop it!

All: AK BLIMP AK BLIMP AK BLIMP!

*in reality*

Amber: *shaking Vibes* AK.......AK!

*Vibes suddenly wakes up*

Vibes: Stop attacking me Amber!

*She looks round at Amber and realises it was a dream*

Vibes: Oh....Amber, it was a dream.

Amber: And a bad one by the looks of it.
