In the spotlight

Grabbing Leroy’s hand, Sophie answered. “Yeah, I’m alright. Thanks!”

“I’m so sorry, I’m always so preoccupied in my mind, it’s a miracle I haven’t run someone over before. Is there anything I could do for you?”

“Oh no, you don’t- well, actually, there is something. Could you give me a ride to club X? I in a bit of a hurry.”

“Club X? I mean sure, but you’ve got to give me directions.”

“I could help!” Interjected Oliver.

“In that case, hop on in!”

“So can you finally tell me what is going on?” Asked Oliver.

“I’d love to, but you’ll probably think I’m insane or something.”

“Sophie, I’m from a family where my dad hit himself in the face with a hammer to remove the ‘imperfections’ and my sister thinks he was persuaded by the Lizardpeople. I won’t think anyone to be insane that quickly anymore.”

Sophie took a big sigh before continuing. “Okay, if you’re sure. Earlier to today I found some clothes behind a trash can, as well as some cash and a phone. I started treating myself, when the uncle of the owner of those clothes calls me and told me that they belong to an invisible girl. I pretended to be her over the phone, because I might get in trouble with the law. That’s why we’re rushing to that club, because she’ll naked and will be visible in a few minutes.”

“…”

“…Aaaannd you think I’m crazy.”

“I think you’d make a great friend for my sister.”

“…I believe you.” Said Leroy flatly.”

“You do? Tha-“

“Because I’m that uncle!”

Meanwhile, Wenda felt like she was walking on clouds as she walked on the stage. The heat of the spotlight warming her bare skin, she smiled while stepping towards the front of the stage. She was ecstatic to stand next to The Wild Heartbreakers, her heart was about to burst out of her chest.

The band started playing, and Wenda started dancing. She was a decent dancer, as she swung around the stage.

The band finished their first song, as Wenda faced the crowd, her arms raised in the air. “My, I hope this invisibility will never end!”.

So of course, at that very second, the formula finally worn off.
