The Big Announcement

*Penny looks confused*

Penny (thought): W...Why does that thought keep coming into my head?

Temptress (thought): Feel it Penny...that tight-fitting costume...that cheeky attitude...it could all be yours...

Penny: me.....be vibes?

*Temptress laughs*

Temptress: The current one is out of action. Someone needs to step in.

*Penny looks down as Vibes' costume forms on her*

Temptress: Just give it a test drive. You're smart, you can make it work.

Penny: im.....awesome *she speeds off*

*Penny slams down a mugger*

Penny (thought): I...I can really do it!

*she laughs and speeds around stopping villains, each bust slowly addicting her to the look and powers*

Temptress: now....who next....perhaps carmelita needs some air

* Carmy scowls as she tries to get hold of Penny*

Carmy: Penny...Penny...Penny!

* Carmy looks round, worried*

Carmy (thought): Can't lose her too.

Temptress (inner voice): You're too intense Carmy. You need to...relax...

Carmy: temptress? What...are you....so light headed....

* Temptress laughs*

Temptress (inner voice): Don't worry...you're a big happy balloon!

Carmy: b..balloon? *her gut bulges*

*Temptress giggles*

Temptress (thought): Yes...feel that lovely plump bounciness!

Carmy: so....bouncy *she balloons up quickly*

* Carmy laughs as she inflates*

Temptress (inner voice): Yes...no need to worry anymore...just be a big, happy BLIMP.

Carmy: blimpy *she laughs as she floats up, dropping her comms*

*Carmy laughs as she floats up into the sky*

MEANWHILE...

*Fiona is stretching round, trying to find the others*

Fiona (thought): This is so much easier when you have a psychic telling you where to go!

Fiona: i have a really bad feeling

*Fiona picks up her phone*

Fiona: Carmy? Please pick up!

*There's no answer*

Fiona (thought): Penny! She'll be on it!

*She calls Penny*

Penny (voicemail): You're through to the future saviour of the universe, please leave me a message. Or don't, I'm psychic
so I'll know anyway. BEEP!

*Fiona looks baffled*

Fiona (thought): Why is Penny sounding like...?

*Fiona realises*

Fiona (thought): Oh no.

Fiona: maybe carm- *she sees a massive balloon in the sky* .....oh this is bad.

Temptress: perhaps if you got stronger you could stop this

*Fiona looks round*

Fiona (thought): Temptress! How are you in my head?

Temptress (inner voice): Oh wouldn't you like to know.

Fiona (thought): You're not going to trick me!

Temptress: fine. Not that itll save your friends

*Fiona grits her teeth*

Fiona: We...we'll find a way to stop you!

Temptress: we? Oh dear. Youre the only one left *she shows penny becoming more and more like an exaggerated vibes, van and the real vibes now filling the cafe, sally with epg, and carmy beginning to eclipse the sun*

*Fiona scowls*

Fiona: No, there's the rest...

* Temptress laughs*

Temptress: The rest of the team are going about their routine with no idea this is going on.

Fiona: i...i wont let you win...me get stronger...

*Temptress laughs*

Temptress: Yes Fiona, smash me good!
