It’s Jaci’s fault, again, again!

Wanna know the secret origin of the super powered girl that’s been flying around town?

You’ll probably wont believe it.

Okay, can’t say I didn’t warn you.

It all started with that TV show based on the old comic book “Shazam.”

A bunch of the boys in my neighborhood got into it, and when they found out I had a collection of some of the old comic books, they insisted I join in.

As I had tried to mostly stay out of the way of other boys, since many kids thought I was a “sissy”, it felt good to have some actual friends.

I showed the boys that in the comics, “Captain Marvel” wasn’t alone - he had a whole family of super powered people behind him, including my favorite, Mary Marvel.

Then one day Mike, one of the members of our little “fan club” came to the rest of us and said he had an actual magic ring. He said he’d been given it in some shop at the mall, and the old guy had told him each person in the club should put on the ring and say the magic word, and one of us would turn into a superhero.

We all laughed, but we decided to try it anyway, and so one after the other, the boys tried the ring and the magic word.

And nothing happened.

Finally, I was the last to go, and I put on the ring and said half-heartedly “Shazam”.

And it worked. I turned into ... her.

Mary Marvel.

Well, more or less. The costume was slightly different, and I looked pretty much like a feminine version of myself.

The magic blast that had turned me into a superheroine had knocked the guys to the ground, and they all seemed stunned, but I didn’t wait around for them to wake up, I flew away so I wouldn’t have to explain why my ideal image for me as a superhero was a girl.

That for as long as I could remember I had wished and dreamed of becoming a girl.

I flew home, said the magic word again, and expected to turn back into my old self.

But I didn’t.

Instead, I became a regular girl.

Weirdly, nobody else seemed to notice the change. My parents, my brother, my teachers, they all treated me like I had always been a girl.

Even the fan club boys seemed to have forgotten about the ring and my transformation, and acted like I had been a tomboy girl who liked comics and superheros.

Worse, I think Mike has a crush on the superhero me, and maybe even one on the civilian me as well ...

Well, that’s the true secret origin of the mystery flying girl.

Believe it or not.

End.
