I always wanted To write this story
Enter: untouchable beauty Her hair is just the right shade
Of red roses, Skin glowing of perfection, Lips he obsesses over until they become a puddle of drool under her feet Barbie doll legs magnifying her sex appeal. She screams of everything People want and nobody can touch.
Skip to the boy in the background. Bottle glasses and plaid Over shirts cover up the all but masculine chest but pure heart. Nose stuffed into a book, 4 times intellect involved with each word.
As geek boy is looking up for smart aleck waitress slash best friend with her
almost tom-boy
arritude, His eyes meet barbie beauty and love has filled the room.
Ve find out later that barbie beauty grew up across the street from geek boy and are buddies from days gone by. She confides in her all too unsatisfying relationship with macho-joe. Geek boy plays his role, as faithful friend and provides a constanr awaiting shoulder.
As dusk appears geek boy must deparr within the drift of the night,
secrets come undone and an alternate identity for geek boy makes him unrecognizable. For the glasses have disappeared and with them the plainness and insignificant-ness of geek-boy. For now his unnatural characteristics are freakishly cool, his lightning speed suPer strengrh laser vision Etc. etc. etc. All transform him ro somerhing super.

Down the unlit streets, a cry carL be found belonging
to no one other than barbie beautY Soon super boy is on his way, and thus begins the fight scene.
Villains are to be masked and draped in skin tight black. Their skills fairly good leaving some impact on super boY, But not enough to stop his defeat. Exit villains that can, scared out of their pants and quite confused.
Now our couple is ready, gratitude is to be given failr,lY large amounts leading barbie beauty to find the love she's waited for.
\(ill super boy ever let barbie beauty know his true identity?

I always wanted To write this story But I can't
because Barbie beauty doesn't even look at geek boy who will never see waitress slash best friend truly loves him
And he will never become super boy, no matter how many comic books he reads.
