The day before yesterday, we reported that two young, AVAILABLE ladies presently have their eyes fixed on our caped hero, Super Tonks, wonder weasel of the universe. Unbeknownst to Super Tonks, however, is a storm brewing as both girls have received invitations to a gala and each one has decided to ask the masked marvel to accompany her to the affair. Already we can guess this scenario as 'international incident' written all over it! As you recall, Super Tonks had been recently seen in the company of Miss Isabella Gucci, a vivacious cinnamon-haired vixen who has kept her competitive edge and girlish figure. From the time she was just two years old, she knew she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and the platinum version of American Express in her paw. She was always spoiled, a little reckless and, most of all, wanton. She lacked for nothing, yet always managed to give earlier boyfriends the "poor little 'ol me" song and dance, which most guys fell for. Now, as a grown up young lady, Isabella has further improved her manipulative tactics and has dreams of marrying someone titled. Since she has not had the good fortune of meeting a prince in a far-off land, she has found her equivalent... none other than Super Tonks. Miss Isabella, unfortunately, is somewhat handicapped at present because she does not have Super Tonks' private number. She'll resort to a clever scheme... she'll call his Mother, Robin, and relay an urgent message for a return call. Then, she'll spring it on him! She'll invite him to the big event. She must do so quickly, for she knows there are hundreds of other ladies vying for the chance to have ST as their escort to the annual gala to benefit shelter kids. Super Tonks, who has enough charisma to make any magnetometer go berserk, is what Oprah Magazine has called a "real catch". He knows it too... In a recent interview on Larry King Live, Super Tonks was asked about his future as a super hero and ST readily admitted he was somewhat lonely and in need of a companion. After all, Super Tonks opined, life's experiences are meant to be shared. Upon making those remarks, Larry's switchboard lit up like a Christmas tree, with hundreds of women calling into the show, hoping for a chance to speak with their hero. Since then, it has not been safe for Super Tonks to venture out alone in "broad" daylight (pardon the pun!). Another young girl also has stars in her eyes. Having literally been swept off her feet and saved from certain doom at a local shelter a little more than a week ago, Giselle is hoping for another face-to-face enounter with Super Tonks so that she can invite him to the ball. In a bold move, she has surprised herself by mailing a note about the event to her courageous caped carnivor, c/o his P.O. box. And Giselle has been praying ever since "Oh, please... please say you'll be my date.. Oh, please Super Tonks". Mind you, our little Giselle, with a sweet white face and soft pink eyes, was not a girl born of privilege. No, not by any means. Having come from strictly middle class and humble means, she used her brains, rather than her body, to make it in the world. She has simple features and yet there's a certain elegance to her look. It's sort of like that "girl next door" comfy feeling one gets when they meet a person who has so much life. Yes, that's it! Giselle is a person who is dizzy with freedom. She will throw caution to the wind so that she can later say "Maybe I didn't succeed, but I sure had fun trying!" Super Tonks is presently reclining in his Easy Boy chair. His Mother just fixed his vittles for him and has left him in front of the TV with a stack of mail and fan letters. Super Tonks pours through several darling letters he received from fans and then opens up a perfumed envelope from someone named Giselle. "Hmmm, I remember that name....why does it ring a bell?" Inside the envelope is an invitation to a formal dance, along with a short note. "Oh!", said Super Tonks aloud. "Now I remember this Giselle girl. I rescued her awhile back." He pauses to reflect on the matter and the possible ramifications of being seen in public with any girl on his arm. "I don't know... it's a lovely gesture, but I'll have to think more on this before I give my answer." Super Tonks then smiles and thinks about Miss Isabella. He admits he's kind of sweet on her. He likes the sound of her giggle and her flirtatious walk, with her long tail casually swaying and dragging behind her like a $5,000 mink coat. Super Tonks then says aloud, "She's got Va va voom!" Oops! His Mother might have heard that remark. He reaches for the black monolith and turns on CNN, hoping the sounds will camoflauge his last words. Will Super Tonks acquiesce to Giselle's invitation in order to show the world he wholeheartedly supports the good work shelters do? Super Tonks hears the telephone ringing down the hallway. He thinks his Mother, Robin, has gone to bed, so he flies off his Lazy Boy and hurries down the hallway hoping to answer the phone quickly. Just then, he hears his Mother on the phone talking. "Yes, Miss Isabella... may I tell him what this is about?..." Oh no! OH YES! Not only has Super Tonks just received an invitation to the ball from Giselle, but he's about to find out that Miss Isabella Gucci is going to be inviting him to the same event!!!! Tune in tomorrow for another installment in the life of Super Tonks!!! [Posted in FML 5386]
