Cartoon Chaos

You had me see Anty when dealing with my past. Your turn now. *appears right behind Vibes*

*Vibes gulps*

Vibes: You...you're right. I have been putting this off for a long time.

*She goes to do her speed mode but it doesn't work*

Vibes: Oh boy not now! Guess I'll be getting the bus.

I'll go with you. Have to ask Anty something anyway.

Meanwhile

Penelope: Awfully late for someone to invite me to a spa....but hey. It is free...

*she soon reaches the warehouse she was told to go to where she finds a man dressed up in robes*

???: Ah here she is! Glad you could be the first person to try our newest piece of "relaxation" technology.

*Back at the clinic...*

Anty: You have always been guarded about your early childhood Vibes.
I knew about your time at the dojo but until now you never talked
about THAT incident.

Vibes: I...I know.

Anty: So why didn't you?

Vibes: Because I saw it happen and there was nothing I could do about it!

Van: you were 5. what could you have done

Agreed.

*Vibes looks baffled*

Vibes: I know that! It...it was happening! I saw every second, I saw the moment the bullets
went into them.

*She begins to flash back*

Vibes: Mum...Dad...!

*She is in tears*

Vibes: There was that whole time I pretended I had no idea what was going on. To act
shocked. But in all that time I was hurt inside. Problem was when I was little
that was when people noticed the powers. Nobody wanted the freak child...

Van: that triggered your powers? dang

*Vibes groans*

Vibes: I started acting up around then. Guess I liked the attention. Problem
is that meant other kids not liking me. And then at the end of the day
I'd be on my own and that image just wouldn't get out of my head.

*She turns to Van and Louis*

Vibes: And now the image has come back I can't shake it!

Hmm…

Van: this is bad

*Anty looks concerned*

Anty: Vibes you need to listen to me. We are here now, we want to help you.

*Vibes is in tears*

Vibes: No you don't! You want to stick me in the corner because I'm so naughty!
I hear you all!

*Van and Louis look confused*

Van: What the heck?

Louis: She's regressed.

*Vibes face begins to puff out*

Anty: Vibes please you have to listen, you're not a child anymore!

Vibes: I can't do anything right...

Van: V calm down.

*Vibes blimps out more*

Vibes: I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt the teacher. It was that weasel Clyde, he winds me up!

Van: V calm down *puts a hand on her shoulder*

Relax, Vibes…

*Anty looks genuinely concerned*

Anty: I'm sorry you'll have to leave her for a bit.

Van: What do you mean?

Anty: It seems she's totally retreated into her memories. Waking her up now
would disorientate her even more.

Van: oh great

*Back with Penny*

Penny: So I just....Walk in?

???: Yes the treatment will only take a couple of minutes. Once it's done you'll feel like a brand new you.

Penny: Ok?....*walks inside and sits down in the chair* Hmm this is comfy....*sighs and closes her eyes* VuV

Van: wonder how penny is

Hope she's doing okay.

*Sal arrives, flying overhead*

Sal: Sorry couldn't help overhearing. Given my experience you want
to make sure she's ok!

*Elsewhere*

???: Hmm....oh well. *starts the machine*

Penny: *feels it start* So....relaxing...*falls asleep*

*Sal, Louis and Van are looking for Penny*

Sal: Hey where's Vibes?

*Louis and Van look awkwardly at each other*

Van: Long story.
