Roll Call: Elongated Lad, Gold Bug, Infierna Verde, Starman & Supergirl
Three months ago
Aaron Kidd, also known as Goldbug, heads to his friends house. His friend had told him he had gotten a hold of two Superbowl XLIV tickets.
"How'd you get these?!" Aaron exclaimed.
"Ebay! I got a sweet deal on em' too! 100 bucks for both!", his friend explained. He continued to offer, "I'll sell you both of em' for $95."
"$95?! You paid $100 for them! What kind of "friendly" rate is that?" Aaron asked.
"These'll go for hundreds to anybody else! But!-- But, because your my friend, I'm giving you a discount!" his friend explained.
"... $5 is what you call a discount?..." he inquired sarcastically, "... Fine. Just to let you know though, your emptying me out!", he continued, reluctantly accepting the offer.

At the Hall of Justice…
"So, Scott! You wanna go with me?" Goldbug inquired.
"...Uh, where?" Starman asked.
"To the Superbowl!" Aaron answered.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Scott wondered.
"Nah man! I bought two tickets off my friend!" Aaron stated.
"How much'd ya pay for them?" asked Scott.
"$95." Aaron explained.
"$95?! Let me see those!" Scott said, snatching them from Aarons hands.
"... Dude... These don't have the holographic NFL seal thingy on em'." Starman concluded, after his initial glance.
Aaron begins to panic, clutching for the tickets. He looks for himself.
"He sold me fake tickets!!!" Goldbug exclaimed, livid.
"Where'd your friend get em', anyway?"
Aaron begins to look away, while he answers, "... Ebay...".
Scott swipes his hand across the back of Aarons head.
"Hey, that hurt!" Aaron said, rubbing his head.
Scott points at him saying, "That’s for getting my hopes up, doofus!", as he walks away.
***
Later that same night…
"Hey!" Aaron greeted, trying to get Scott’s attention.
"Yeah?" Starman answered.
"Ya see this! It's that Satellite deal! Free NFL package and free movie channels for 3 months! I signed the Hall up! There coming out with a HD/DVR receiver in a week." Gold Bug explained.
"Awesome!" Scott exclaimed. "But you do realize the NFL package is free the three months during off-season?" Scott asked rhetorically, while smirking.
"... Well, that’s a rip-off." Aaron said.
"Yep. Another intellectual decision, genius!" Scott replied, soon before he continued on his way out of the Hall to do patrol duty for the night.
***
5 days later…
"Aaron! Don't we need to get some snacks for the 'Bowl?" Scott proposed.
"Yeah! Yeah, we do!" Aaron answered, obviously excited.
Aaron gets in Scotts car with him, as they ride to the local Supermarket-- With empty stomachs.
After they get a little over half way there, the car breaks down.
"Unbelievable!" Scott exclaimed. "I had just taken it to the shop! I paid them $800 to NOT fix all of the problems?!" Scott continued.
Aaron softly began to chuckle, covering his mouth, trying to keep from bringing it to Scotts attention.
Scott gives him a stare, while grabbing his Cosmic Rod. "C'mon, we'll just fly the rest of the way there.", Scott decided.
After pushing the car to the side of the road, and turning on the emergency lights, they fly to the Supermarket.
***
Inside the store…
Scott grabs a shopping cart, and both of them begin to raid the store!
"Ooh, Beef Jerky!" Aaron stated, dropping several bags of it into the cart.
"Don't forget about some of the spray-can cheese stuff, and crackers!" Scott said, after dropping cans of cheese and boxes of crackers into the cart.
"Chips! You can never go wrong with chips!" Aaron said, putting several bags into the shopping cart.
After about 30 minutes, the cart is over-flowing with snacks.
"Alright, I think that’s enough." Scott said. "You wanna go 'half & half' at the register?" Scott proposed.
"Sur--..." Aaron said, hesitating. As Scott’s starting to put they're items on the counter at the register, Aaron continues, "Uhh... Scott, I forgot my wallet...".
Scott gives him another stare. "You serious?" Scott questioned.
"Yeah, I must've left it in my other jeans." Goldbug explained.
"Great!" Scott exclaimed, "I ain't got enough cash for all of this.", he continued, gesturing to the pile of food currently being scanned by the cashier.
The cashier whispers to himself, "It's not fair, the other registers say 20 items and under, why do these ones not have a limit? Like I've been tellin' the managers, 60 items per normal register. But noooo. No one cares what Shelton has to say.".
By this time, his manager walks by. "Shut up, Shelton.", his manager says calmly and quickly while continuing his tour through the store. The cashier quickly gets quiet.
"Look, I'll use my debit card. I know I ain't got enough in the bank, so you’re gonna pay for your half later, including extra to cover the over-draft fee. Oka-- Why am I even asking if it's okay? Because there's no way you’re getting out of this!" Scott explained.
"O-kay." Aaron said.
After about 15 minutes, the cashier finally rings up the last item, which was a Slim Jim that Aaron had just put there.
To the hopes of Starman, his Debit is accepted, and the transaction is complete. They push the shopping cart out of the store.
"Umm, Scott? How are we gonna get the groceries to the Hall? We can't carry all of these bags!" Aaron stated, baffled at they're problem.
"You’re right..." Scott said.
"Thank--" Aaron began, being interrupted.
"... For once." Scott continued. "Stay right here, I'll be right back." he stated.
Scott runs back into the store.
5 minutes later, Scott returns, with a big green plastic container.
"Will the groceries all fit in there?" Aaron questioned.
"We'll make em' fit." Scott stated.
They begin to stuff all of they're groceries into the container. After they get a little over half way done, they both realize that the lid isn't going to seal, so they just both grab a side, and fly it to the Hall, without the lid.
"Be careful, Aaron, hold it stea--", Scott stops himself, as a bug has flown in his mouth, causing him to lose his grip, focusing entirely on spitting the bug out of his mouth, the container sways to the left, several bags slide out, dropping on top of cars in the parking lot below. In Gold Bug begins panic, trying to adjust the container, and compensate for Starman’s lack of a good hold on his side, he accidentally sways it too far to the right, and more than half of they're groceries fall on the vehicles below. By this time, Scott had gotten the bug out of his mouth, and they rushed out of the area, avoiding the angry owners of damaged vehicles.
"What were you saying, Scott?", said Aaron, smirking at him.
"You’re paying for all of that, y'know." Scott stated.
"Am not! You dumped the bags out, and made me dump some out!" Aaron defended.
"I had a bug in my mouth, and you couldn't manage to keep it steady, wimp!" Scott retorted.
"Wimp?! You’re the one that couldn't hold it steady because a bug flew in your mouth, sissy!" Aaron blamed.
"Oh, that’s right, I guess you’re use to eating bugs, Gold Bug!" Starman insulted.
"If I wasn't really wanting those taco's that survived, I would let go right now and hit you!" Aaron stated.
"Ooh, you got taco's? Did you get worcestershire sauce to dip them in?" Scott asked, quickly changing into a good mood.
"Yeah, I did! You like it on taco's too?" Aaron inquired, changing into a good mood also.
"Yea--... Don't think I'm gonna forget about you dumping out the groceries." Scott reminded.
"Don't think I'm gonna forget about you saying I eat bugs!" Aaron retorted.
"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." Scott apologized.
"I'm sorry about accidentally dumping out some of the groceries." Goldbug apologized. "What about your car?" Aaron questioned.
"I called Supergirl to fly it back to the Hall." Scott answered.
"Hahahaha! Who said we'd never have flying cars!" Aaron joked.
"... That is pretty funny." Scott agreed.
***
Back at the Hall of Justice…
"Wow! You two bought alot!" Supergirl said.
"You don't know the half of it." Scott replied.
They begin to sort through the items, putting the cold food in the fridge, and the rest in the pantry.
***
The next morning…
"Where'd all the food go?!" Aaron shouted!
Scott runs out of his room, slipping and falling in the hallway. Quickly getting back up and racing to the kitchen.
"Who ate it? Fess up!" Scott demanded.
"Scott... No ones even here. They're all busy on patrol." Aaron informed him.
"Who could have eaten all of it?" Starman wondered.
***
A few hours later…
Infiernia Verde, and some other heroes arrive back at the hall.
"Infiernia, do you know what happened to all of the food?" Scott inquired.
"Oh. Yes. We donated it to the local "food bank". They're going to divide it up to several charities." Infiernia Verde explained, in her Brazlian accent.
"Oh." Scott said, surprised.
"So when's the next grocery day?" Aaron asked.
"I'm gonna go buy some things in a little bit. You want something?" Infiernia asked.
"Uh... Yeah, just pick up some snacks for the Football game." Scott explained. "I'll pay you for them."
"Oh no, no! You don't need to do that!" Infiernia objected.
"You sure?" Scott questioned.
"Yes." Infiernia reassured.
***
After Infiernia returns…
"Hey, d'you get the snacks?" Aaron asked.
"Yes. I've hidden them until the game, so they don't get eaten." she explained.
"Good!" Scott replied, assured.
***
The next day: Satellite installment day!
"Hey, Scott! I just talked to the Satellite guy, he said he'll be here a 2:00pm." Aaron stated.
2:00pm
"Where is he?" Scott wondered.
2:30pm
"He should be here any minute now." Aaron assumed.
3:00pm
"Hey, Scott, I'm goin' on patrol. Let me know when it's all hooked up." Aaron told.
"I will. I hope he comes before 6:00pm, 'cause then it's my turn!" Scott explained.
5:00pm
The Satellite guy finally arrives.
"So, how long do you think installations gonna take?" Scott inquired.
"Wow, this place is huge!" the satellite installer said.
"Uhh... So how long is this gonna take?" Scott reiterated.
"Well first I have to see if this place is even able to have Satellite TV." he responded.
After several minutes of him checking wires.
"I'm sorry, but this place isn't wired right. All of the wires are mix-matched. Nothing's wired right. It's a miracle you've got cable!" the Satellite guy explained.
***
After both Starman and Gold Bug return to the Hall that night from they're patrols
"The guy said the place wasn't wired right, Aaron. We can't get satellite." Starman explained.
"Are you sure?" Aaron asked.
"Yeah. I mean, it's not like we're missing anything. We can still watch the game."
"Yeah, but what about HD! H-freaking-D!" Aaron exclaimed.
"It was worth a try, and we gave it one. So lets just leave it at that." Scott replied.
"I think he was lyin'! I'm gonna call again and see if the next guy says something different!" Aaron decided.
"No. Power Guy doesn't even like us ordering pizza, because the guy can look inside from the front entrance. I was shocked he let us call the Satellite guy!" Scott explained.
"Yeah, bu--" Aaron said, being interrupted.
"I never, ever thought I'd say this. But no "buts"." Starman said, continued with a chuckle, "The irony."
***
The next morning
Gold Bug snuck around Starman, and called the Satellite company again. "Hi, I would like to get you satellite service." Aaron stated.
"Okay, sir. Where do you live?" the Satellite receptionist asked.
"The Hall of Justice." Aaron answered.
"Very funny, sir. We get enough prank calls. Goodbye." the receptionist said.
"Wait! Wait! No, it's not--" Aaron exclaimed, trying to explain.
He calls again, and rather gives the physical address of the HoJ, and succeeds in getting an installation guy sent out again.
***
Saturday, Februrary 06th
"Now, Infiernia, the snacks are still safe right?" Scott questioned.
"Yes, they are." Infiernia answered.
"Alright, I'm heading out on patrol, see you all later." Scott said, grabbing his cosmic rod on the way out of the Hall.
Not long after Starman had left for patrol, the Satellite installer arrives.
"So, are you gonna be able to hook it up?" Aaron questioned.
"I don't see why not." the installer answered.
"Yes!!! Yes! I knew it!" Aaron exclaimed!
***
2 and a half hours later
"Okay, one HD/DVR installed!" the installer explained.
"Thank you so much!" Gold Bug said, grateful that he can now watch the Superbowl in HD.
***
8:00pm
Starman returns to the Hall, finishing his patrol shift.
"Ta-Da!" Aaron exclaims, gesturing to the clear, crisp picture showing sports-casters discussing the Saints - Colts match-up.
Starman's expression changes to pure excitement, as he sets his Cosmic Rod down on the couch in the living quarters. "I should be mad at you for going behind my back, but I can't be!" Scott explained.
"The first installer was just lazy and didn't want to do it! We can now watch the Superbowl in what is known as beautiful High-Definition!" Aaron commented.
"Only, and I mean only can you go behind my back, if you going to be doing something this awesome!" Scott said.
"Sure thing!" Aaron affirmed sarcastically.
"I am joking, y'know that, right?" Starman assured.
"Sure." Gold Bug admitted, once again sarcastically.
Scott begins to slightly shake his head from side to side in regards to Aaron’s comment, but he quickly ignores it to bask into the magnificent picture.
"I am so looking forward to the game, man! It's gonna be awesome! We'll be able to see bugs in the astroturf!" Scott exclaimed.
"But there aren't any bugs in--" Aaron began to say.
"I know that. Just let me have my moments." Scott replied.
"Aren't you so glad we're both off from patrols tomorrow!" Aaron informed.
"I guess whoever else is off, or is on their down time from patrols will be watching it with us too." Scott commented.
"... I don't think we've ever asked this, but-- Who are you going for?" Aaron asked.
"Saints! Of course!" Starman exclaimed.
"I'm going for the Colts!" Goldbug explained.
"We're enemies than." Scott stated, trying to keep the smirk off of his face.
"This means war!" Aaron shouted, beginning to chuckle.
***
The next day
2 hours before kick-off of Superbowl XLIV
"Awesome, the Superbowl’s coming on soon! Are you two watching the Superbowl?" Elongated Lad asked with excitement.
"Yeah, we are." Scott answered.
"Infiernia, where'd you hide the snacks?" Aaron asks, as she walks into the room.
"Right here." Infierna answered, opening the recliner on one of the chairs in the living room to reveal 4 bags of snacks.
Starman and Gold Bug quickly began to sift through each bag, pulling out all of the snacks.
"You did well, Jocelyn, very well!" Aaron states.
They pull out chips, dips, salsa, ice cream, taco's, cheez-its, and several other snacks.
"Whats this?" Aaron asks, as he pulls out a carton of a juice called "Guava Nector". "Is it any good?" he asks.
"Oh yeah!" Starman exclaims, but then looks at Elongated Lad, and shakes his head no, giving a "blah!" expression.
Aaron opens it, and poors him a glass of it. Starman and Elongated Man watch in anticipation of his priceless reaction.
He gulps down two sips, and while on the third, his eyes widen, and you can see the disgust on his face. He rushes to the kitchen to spit it out in the sink. Starman and Elongated Man bust out laughing. Aaron now realizes he was deceived.
He points his fingers at both Starman and Elongated Lad, saying "I will get both you back! You just wait!".
"Empty threats, just empty threats!" Scott commented.
"How'd you know?" Aaron asked, beginning to laugh.
"Because I know you!" Scott answered
***
1 hour before the game
Infiernia goes to the kitchen to grab out the special sports oriented paper plates from the cabinet that she had bought. She hands them to Starman, Goldbug, and Elongated Lad so they can get some food.
"Uhh... Why do these plates have soccer balls on them?" Scott asked.
"For the Futball game." Infierna answered.
"O-kay." Aaron replied.
***
The Superbowl game
"The Colts are so gonna win!" Gold Bug exclaimed!
"Nuh-uh! The Saints are!" Starman replied.
"Y'know, I tried to put on face paint, silver and blue, and everytime I do, the scarab puts my mask thing on and cleans it off!" Aaron explained
Starman begins to laugh, but it is short lived, as the Colts have driven down the field, and are 8 yards away from a touchdown, and the signal to the satellite begins to go out. Starman and Gold Bug both shout in anger, shock, and disbelief that this is happening!
The signal comes back by half-time.
They cheer in joy, but are once again, disappointed, because by the end of half-time show, the receiver started to perform an update. They are anxiously waiting for the update to finish. Starman is wanting to break the receiver, for good reason, but he holds himself back.
They wait for hours.
By now, the game is over. The disappointment can be felt throughout the Hall. Infiernia, who had went to her room as the game was coming, returns to the living room to see they're saddened faces. After realizing what had happend to them with the game, she informs them, "I set the Soccer game to record in my room incase anything went wrong with your receiver."
"Wait, what Soccer game?!" Aaron exclaims.
"You have your own receiver?!" Scott asks.
"You know! The Futball game! And yes, I have my own receiver, I've had it for a while! Although it's not a "HB" one, but it is a DVR." Infiernia explained.
"It's called HD-- And you recorded the Superbowl!?" Aaron asked.
"Yes!" she answered.
"Can we watch it! Please! Please! Please!" Starman and Gold Bug asked simultaneously.
"Sure, but don't make any messes!" she explained.
"Oh thank you, thank you!!!" Aaron shouted in excitement, while Scott ran to go make popcorn, and bring it back to Elongated Lad and Gold Bug, to eat while they watch the game.
***
They are not seen for another 3 hours! They exit Infiernia's room, shouting and hollering about how great a game that was. Elongated Man heads to check the receiver in the Living room to see if the update is finished, while Starman and Goldbug are on the way into the kitchen. The two of them are jumping about with excitement about the game.
Infiernia walks into her room to see the popcorn strung about her room, probably spilled when a touchdown happend. "Scott!!! Aaron!!!" she yells! Gold Bug runs into another room, while Starman was in mid-jump, trying to gain momentum on his way down to run, but he trips, and Infiernia catches him. Soon after, Gold Vug is apprehended.
***
Moments later
Starman and Gold Bug are seen sweeping, vacuuming, and cleaning up all the mess in Infiernia's room.
"Well, that was a fun Superbowl!" Scott exclaims, while cleaning.
"Yeah! It was awesome!" Aaron agree's, while sweeping up bits of popcorn, with Infiernia supervising both of them in the clean-up.
"Oh! And don't forget you still owe me that money!" Scott reminds him.
Aaron sighs a sigh of exhaustion.

"Are you sure?" Aaron asked.
"Yeah. I mean, it's not like we're missing anything. We can still watch the game."
"Yeah, but what about HD! H-freaking-D!" Aaron exclaimed.
"It was worth a try, and we gave it one. So lets just leave it at that." Scott replied.
"I think he was lyin'! I'm gonna call again and see if the next guy says something different!" Aaron decided.
"No. Power Guy doesn't even like us ordering pizza, because the guy can look inside from the front entrance. I was shocked he let us call the Satellite guy!" Scott explained.
"Yeah, bu--" Aaron said, being interrupted.
"I never, ever thought I'd say this. But no "buts"." Starman said, continued with a chuckle, "The irony."

The next morning
Gold Bug snuck around Starman, and called the Satellite company again. "Hi, I would like to get you satellite service." Aaron stated.
"Okay, sir. Where do you live?" the Satellite receptionist asked.
"The Hall of Justice." Aaron answered.
"Very funny, sir. We get enough prank calls. Goodbye." the receptionist said.
"Wait! Wait! No, it's not--" Aaron exclaimed, trying to explain.
He calls again, and rather gives the physical address of the HoJ, and succeeds in getting an installation guy sent out again.

Saturday, Februrary 06th
"Now, Infiernia, the snacks are still safe right?" Scott questioned.
"Yes, they are." Infiernia answered.
"Alright, I'm heading out on patrol, see you all later." Scott said, grabbing his cosmic rod on the way out of the Hall.
Not long after Starman had left for patrol, the Satellite installer arrives.
"So, are you gonna be able to hook it up?" Aaron questioned.
"I don't see why not." the installer answered.
"Yes!!! Yes! I knew it!" Aaron exclaimed!
***
2 and a half hours later
"Okay, one HD/DVR installed!" the installer explained.
"Thank you so much!" Gold Bug said, grateful that he can now watch the Superbowl in HD.
***
8:00pm
Starman returns to the Hall, finishing his patrol shift.
"Ta-Da!" Aaron exclaims, gesturing to the clear, crisp picture showing sports-casters discussing the Saints - Colts match-up.
Starman's expression changes to pure excitement, as he sets his Cosmic Rod down on the couch in the living quarters. "I should be mad at you for going behind my back, but I can't be!" Scott explained.
"The first installer was just lazy and didn't want to do it! We can now watch the Superbowl in what is known as beautiful High-Definition!" Aaron commented.
"Only, and I mean only can you go behind my back, if you going to be doing something this awesome!" Scott said.
"Sure thing!" Aaron affirmed sarcastically.
"I am joking, y'know that, right?" Starman assured.
"Sure." Gold Bug admitted, once again sarcastically.
Scott begins to slightly shake his head from side to side in regards to Aaron’s comment, but he quickly ignores it to bask into the magnificent picture.
"I am so looking forward to the game, man! It's gonna be awesome! We'll be able to see bugs in the astroturf!" Scott exclaimed.
"But there aren't any bugs in--" Aaron began to say.
"I know that. Just let me have my moments." Scott replied.
"Aren't you so glad we're both off from patrols tomorrow!" Aaron informed.
"I guess whoever else is off, or is on their down time from patrols will be watching it with us too." Scott commented.
"... I don't think we've ever asked this, but-- Who are you going for?" Aaron asked.
"Saints! Of course!" Starman exclaimed.
"I'm going for the Colts!" Goldbug explained.
"We're enemies than." Scott stated, trying to keep the smirk off of his face.
"This means war!" Aaron shouted, beginning to chuckle.

The next day
2 hours before kick-off of Superbowl XLIV
"Awesome, the Superbowl’s coming on soon! Are you two watching the Superbowl?" Elongated Lad asked with excitement.
"Yeah, we are." Scott answered.
"Infiernia, where'd you hide the snacks?" Aaron asks, as she walks into the room.
"Right here." Infierna answered, opening the recliner on one of the chairs in the living room to reveal 4 bags of snacks.
Starman and Gold Bug quickly began to sift through each bag, pulling out all of the snacks.
"You did well, Jocelyn, very well!" Aaron states.
They pull out chips, dips, salsa, ice cream, taco's, cheez-its, and several other snacks.
"Whats this?" Aaron asks, as he pulls out a carton of a juice called "Guava Nector". "Is it any good?" he asks.
"Oh yeah!" Starman exclaims, but then looks at Elongated Lad, and shakes his head no, giving a "blah!" expression.
Aaron opens it, and poors him a glass of it. Starman and Elongated Man watch in anticipation of his priceless reaction.
He gulps down two sips, and while on the third, his eyes widen, and you can see the disgust on his face. He rushes to the kitchen to spit it out in the sink. Starman and Elongated Man bust out laughing. Aaron now realizes he was deceived.
He points his fingers at both Starman and Elongated Lad, saying "I will get both you back! You just wait!".
"Empty threats, just empty threats!" Scott commented.
"How'd you know?" Aaron asked, beginning to laugh.
"Because I know you!" Scott answered
***
1 hour before the game
Infiernia goes to the kitchen to grab out the special sports oriented paper plates from the cabinet that she had bought. She hands them to Starman, Goldbug, and Elongated Lad so they can get some food.
"Uhh... Why do these plates have soccer balls on them?" Scott asked.
"For the Futball game." Infierna answered.
"O-kay." Aaron replied.
***
The Superbowl game
"The Colts are so gonna win!" Gold Bug exclaimed!
"Nuh-uh! The Saints are!" Starman replied.
"Y'know, I tried to put on face paint, silver and blue, and everytime I do, the scarab puts my mask thing on and cleans it off!" Aaron explained
Starman begins to laugh, but it is short lived, as the Colts have driven down the field, and are 8 yards away from a touchdown, and the signal to the satellite begins to go out. Starman and Gold Bug both shout in anger, shock, and disbelief that this is happening!
The signal comes back by half-time.
They cheer in joy, but are once again, disappointed, because by the end of half-time show, the receiver started to perform an update. They are anxiously waiting for the update to finish. Starman is wanting to break the receiver, for good reason, but he holds himself back.
They wait for hours.
By now, the game is over. The disappointment can be felt throughout the Hall. Infiernia, who had went to her room as the game was coming, returns to the living room to see they're saddened faces. After realizing what had happend to them with the game, she informs them, "I set the Soccer game to record in my room incase anything went wrong with your receiver."
"Wait, what Soccer game?!" Aaron exclaims.
"You have your own receiver?!" Scott asks.
"You know! The Futball game! And yes, I have my own receiver, I've had it for a while! Although it's not a "HB" one, but it is a DVR." Infiernia explained.
"It's called HD-- And you recorded the Superbowl!?" Aaron asked.
"Yes!" she answered.
"Can we watch it! Please! Please! Please!" Starman and Gold Bug asked simultaneously.
"Sure, but don't make any messes!" she explained.
"Oh thank you, thank you!!!" Aaron shouted in excitement, while Scott ran to go make popcorn, and bring it back to Elongated Lad and Gold Bug, to eat while they watch the game.
***
They are not seen for another 3 hours! They exit Infiernia's room, shouting and hollering about how great a game that was. Elongated Man heads to check the receiver in the Living room to see if the update is finished, while Starman and Goldbug are on the way into the kitchen. The two of them are jumping about with excitement about the game.
Infiernia walks into her room to see the popcorn strung about her room, probably spilled when a touchdown happend. "Scott!!! Aaron!!!" she yells! Gold Bug runs into another room, while Starman was in mid-jump, trying to gain momentum on his way down to run, but he trips, and Infiernia catches him. Soon after, Gold Vug is apprehended.
***
Moments later
Starman and Gold Bug are seen sweeping, vacuuming, and cleaning up all the mess in Infiernia's room.
"Well, that was a fun Superbowl!" Scott exclaims, while cleaning.
"Yeah! It was awesome!" Aaron agree's, while sweeping up bits of popcorn, with Infiernia supervising both of them in the clean-up.
"Oh! And don't forget you still owe me that money!" Scott reminds him.
Aaron sighs a sigh of exhaustion.
The End............
