Amber's Allergy

*Vibes and Amber are tracking down a robber*

Vibes: Why do these mooks run?

*Amber smiles*

Amber: Especially when someone blocks the exit!

*Amber uses her fire power to melt a ladder just as the robber is trying to run off*

Amber: Do your thing V...

*Just as she's about to say it Amber bulges out*

Amber: Oh no not now!

*Vibes groans*

Vibes: Dang it!

*Amber looks apologetic as Vibes struggles to move past her*

Amber: I...I'm sorry.

*Vibes groans.*

Vibes: Excuse me a sec. SPEED MODE!

*The robber grins, thinking he's got away. As he runs out he literally runs into Vibes' fist*

Vibes: Nice try.

Amber: i hate these allergies!

*Vibes looks sympathetically at Amber*

Vibes: Sad to say it but it looks like it's getting worse. We'd better get you to Dr Anty!

Amber: why did i have to go get drinks with you that day! it's getting so bad sometimes i turn rainbow colored just from a hiccup

*Vibes raises an eyebrow*

Vibes: Oh I'm sorry I spend all day memorising people's medical prescriptions.

*She sees Amber's reaction*

Vibes: Look I'm sorry. Believe me I understand! Anyhoo looks like I've got a bit of heavy lifting
to do! STRENGTH MODE!

*She lifts Amber and heads toward Anty's*

Amber: ......sorry i sounded like i was blaming you.

*Vibes sympathetically as they get near Anty's*

Vibes: It's ok. If anyone can help you it's Anty!

Amber: you've been saying that for weeks

*Vibes scowls*

Vibes: Look Amber you've got to know- the warp has weird effects and it seems yours is less predictable than what happened to me or Sal.

Amber: So you mean I could be stuck turning into a tub?

Vibes: Not necessarily- can't pretend to understand this but he's helped Sal too.

LATER...

*Vibes and Amber wait outside Anty's lab*

Vibes: He really needs to update his magazines- I've seen this article on UEA Headlights one too many times!

Amber: *fidgets as best she can* this is taking forever.

*Anty and Rotecol enter*

Anty: Amber we have your results. We don't know how to tell you this but...

Rotecol: The warp effect on your body is not something we can reverse.

Anty: We can monitor this effect and minimise the risk as much as possible but
we cannot change it.

Amber: shoulda seen that coming. just my luck.

*Vibes looks sadly at Amber*

Vibes: Amber...I'm sorry...

*Amber scowls angrily*

Amber: Sorry? SORRY?! You're not the one who could randomly blob up at any time.

Vibes: You know wallowing in self pity isn't going to make you any better.

Amber: You'd better watch out or SOMEONE is going to stuff your stupid mouth full of caramel!

*Amber goes off*

Vibes: Amber wait I'm sorry!

Amber: LEAVE ME ALONE!

Amber: *slams the door and walks around the city, returning to normal* finally.

ELSEWHERE...

*Sal is flying over the city with Vibes running alongside her*

Sal: You really are an idiot sometimes, you do know that Vibes?

Vibes: So it's my fault she flew off the handle?

Sal: Generally psychics are supposed to be sensitive.

Vibes: Oh right so it's now my job to look after everyone's feelings as well as save the city?

Sal: Remember when you first found out you were AK Girl? Imagine someone taking the
mick out of you then.

*Vibes is quiet for a second*

Vibes: I hate it when you're right.

Amber: *sees another "alternative health clinic"* .....why not. *walks in*

*Temptress smiles*

Temptress: Hello young lady. I'm Dr Emma T. Press. I specialise in a more holistic approach to making
people look FABULOUS!

*She switches on a video showing people going from enormously fat to thin*

Temptress: I'm guessing this is what you came for.

Amber: actually i just came in for a laugh since the last place i was at couldn't help me with my problem. *she sneezes and bloats up like a balloon* oh come on!

*Temptress nods sympathetically*

Temptress: I have dealt with cases like you before. Otherwise healthy women unable to fight
sudden bloating. With my treatment this condition will be wiped out and you will
be able to live a normal life. I guarantee it!

Amber: seriously?! you got a deal

*Temptress smiles*

Temptress: Right this way my dear...

MEANWHILE...

*Vibes clutches her head*

Sal: Vibes, what's wrong?

Vibes: I...I don't know. All I know is that we need to find Amber and fast!

Amber: *follows temptress*

*Temptress sits Amber down in a chair, placing a blanket over her.*

Temptress: Close your eyes my dear. Focus only on what you want, your perfect body.
Just think how everyone will envy you, how you can be everything you want
to be!

*Amber starts to glow*

Amber: *keeps focusing*

*Temptress removes the blanket*

Temptress: Open your eyes Amber and see the new you.
