Arabella's Boy Troubles Part 1
Arabella's POV
"I mean, can you believe my dad?!" I complained to Henry and Charlotte.
"Yes."
I stared at them with disbelief. "Well, you're opinions are wrong and stupid!"
"Airy, can you really blame Ray for not wanting you to have a boyfriend?" Henry asked and I scoffed.
"Yes!" I exclaim and Henry leans back on the couch. "It's ridiculous! I'm fourteen, it shouldn't be a problem!"
"But, you are Captain Man's daughter." Charlotte reasoned and I groaned, sitting down next to them. "And if he found out, that could cause a lot of problems."
"So? I'm also a teenage girl with feelings and emotions. I'm not daddy's little girl anymore." I protested.
"Didn't you and Ray go to the Cheesecake Warehouse for your birthday and he gave you a bracelet that says 'daddy's little girl?"
"Don't change the subject." I whack Henry's arm and he flinches. "I'm growing up and he can't protect me forever."
"Well, Ray's not happy with you." Charlotte remarked.
"Yes. Thank you for pointing out the obvious." I sarcastically say and fold my arms. "Anyway-"
The door opened and Piper walked in with a glass bowl or hat on her head; I'm unsure. She looked at us as we stared at the object on her head.
"What's on your head?" Henry asked her.
"A glass hat." Piper answered. "I just got it."
Oh, I know what those are. Celebrities wear them and make themselves look stupid on tv.
Charlotte stood up. "Oh, I've heard of those."
"What is a glass hat?" Henry asked.
"It's a hat made of glass." Piper explained.
"It's very easy to understand." I grin at Henry and he rolls his eyes.
"A lot of celebrities are wearing them." Charlotte remarked.
"Okay, congrats on your hat, but Henry, Charlotte, and I are having-"
"Guess what!?" Piper exclaimed and I looked at her.
"What?"
"Don't care." She said and walked into the kitchen. Once she was gone, I pulled Henry and Charlotte onto the couch.
"I can't believe you two are with my dad on this one." I began.
"Bella, if you weren't Ray's daughter, this wouldn't be an issue, but since you are-"
"I can't have a boyfriend?" I interrupted Charlotte.
"No!" They both say and I raised an eyebrow.
"Well..."
"Oh my gosh." I sigh and fold my arms.
"Airy, don't be upset about this." Henry assured me.
"Give me on reason why I shouldn't be upset." I asked him and Henry thought for a moment.
I waited for an response but Piper interrupted him.
"Aw, there's a smudge on my hat! Where's the glass cleaner?"
"Check the garage!" Henry told her and Piper ran off.
"Okay, you shouldn't be upset because..."
I stared at the sidekick and he cleared his throat.
"Okay, you should be upset."
I gave him a look of disbelief as Charlotte berated him.
"Henry!"
"Listen, Bella." Charlotte began and put her hands on my shoulders. "Henry and I will keep this boy that you're talking to a secret from Ray."
"Really?!" I smile.
"Really?" Henry asked with shock and I hit his stomach.
"Yes. I've met this boy, he's actually really nice." Charlotte smiles and I hug Charlotte.
"Thank you!" I giggle and turn to Henry.
"Not thank you." I glare and he scrunches his eyebrows.
"I just think it's not okay for you to have a boyfriend."
"Why not?" I asked him and I inched his neck.
"Because what if he hurts you and finds out your secret?"
"I can't believe you, Henry." I say and he sighs.
"Airy, don't be mad at me."
"Well, I am! Because you don't trust me, do you?"
"I never said that."
"Well it was implied!"
"Guys!"
We turned to Charlotte and right then Jasper ran into the house.
"Hey, Bella! Hey, Charlotte!"
He went up to Henry. "Henry! I've been thinking about your mom's chili all day!"
"Okay."
"Is there any left?" Jasper asked. "Can I have some?"
"Yeah, there's some left in fridge." Henry told him and Jasper jumped with joy.
"Awesome!" He leaps into the kitchen and I heavily sighed.
"You know, Henry, I don't think you're being fair here." I told Henry and Charlotte rolled her eyes.
"Airy, I know boys. They can be jerks and will cheat on girls."
"You're saying Logan with cheat on me?" I asked Henry and Charlotte grabbed my shoulders.
"Bella, calm down." Charlotte told me and I huffed. "Henry's just trying to protect you."
"From what? Logan won't hurt me." I reason.
"You don't know that." Henry protested and I glared at him.
"I have the right to go out with whomever I want!" I declare. "I think it's even in the Constitution! Or whatever it's called, I don't know!"
"Okay, you know what? Date Logan, but if hurts you don't come crying to me."
"I would never." I scoff. "You're the last person I would go to."
Henry and I both glared at each other, before Charlotte broke us apart.
Suddenly, an explosion happened and all of us fell down.
"What the heck?" I ask as I sit up. I saw Piper had returned and she went up to the microwave Jasper was using. She pulled out pieces of glass and I bit my lip when I realized that Jasper used her glass hat as a bowl for chili.
Piper glared heavily at Jasper.
"I'm sorry I broke your hat."
——
The following day, I was at the park because my dad and Henry both were at the dedication for Swellview's first public bathroom. My dad wasn't going to be with me a lot, so I get to spend it with Logan.
Logan and I met in the park last week and he's so great. He has brown hair, brown eyes, the most amazing cheekbones that could cut glass. I really like him, and I hope Henry or my dad don't ruin this for me.
Don't they want me to be happy?
Third Person POV
Henry was walking around the park, checking for the Mad Granny, the crazy woman who's attacking Captain Man.
He was sipping on his drink when he spotted Bella and Logan smiling and talking to one another.
"Airy?" He asked and threw his drink away, before taking out his binoculars and spying on the couple. She fed Logan a piece of popcorn and Henry was in disbelief. "She's feeding him popcorn!"
Henry marches over to Charlotte, who was talking to a few friends.
"Uh, pardon me."
He grabbed Charlotte and pulled her away.
"Ooh!"
"All right! All right!" The Vice President announces and got everyone's attention. "Thank you for being here to witness this official dedication of our city's very first public restroom built way back in 1898!"
The crowed cheered and applauded as photographers snapped photos.
"And now, I give you our very own Captain Man!"
The crowed roared with cheers as Captain Man appeared from behind the bathrooms. Bella made sure to keep herself hidden from her dad, but without it being noticeable.
After Captain Man greeted the Vice President, he spotted an elderly woman and assumed it was the Mad Granny.
"Oh my god, the Mad Granny!" He pulled out a laser. "Eat this, lady!" He shot her in the eye and the crowed gasped in horror and the Vice President went down to comfort the elderly woman. The woman cried in pain and the Vice President looked at Captain Man.
"This isn't the Mad Granny!" He protested. "This is my mother!"
Captain Man became guilty. "Oh. Well, then no need to apologize!"
With Henry and Charlotte
"Look." Henry turned Charlotte over to look at Logan and Bella.
"Look, Bella's feeding popcorn to some guy." He said with bitterness.
"Oh, that's Logan." Charlotte smiles. "Aren't they cute?"
"Sure, sure, they're cute, but tell me more about Logan!" Henry snapped.
"He moved to Swellview about two weeks ago with his twin brother Blake." Charlotte explained. "Bella told me her and Logan met here last week. He's nice."
"Who cares if he's nice!"
Charlotte leaned back at Henry's statement. "She can't be with him!"
"Why not? Are you jealous?" She smirked.
"What? No?!" Henry scoffed. "I'm just trying to follow Ray's orders and keep Airy from boys that can hurt her."
"You're acting like Ray."
"Am not."
"Are too!"
"Okay! I just don't want Airy to get hurt. This is her first boyfriend and I don't want to her cry." Henry admitted with pink cheeks and Charlotte smiles.
"Aw, you care about Bella."
"Whatever..."
He glanced over at Bella and Logan and saw them laughing and having a good time. He had a strange feeling in his chest, but shook it off and looked away.
Arabella's POV
"Thank you!" My dad announced and cleared his throat. "Bathrooms go by many names. Such as, the restroom, the John, The Head, the Potty, the Loo, the Toidy, Tinkle Town, Poo Corner..." He continued to speak and Logan whispered something in my ear and I giggled.
"Logan..." I giggle and he kissed my cheek.
Third Person POV
"Aw, man!" Henry groaned and Chad rolled her eyes.
"What?"
"That dude, Logo! Just kissed her cheek!"
"His name is Logan."
"I pronounce it Logo!" Henry snapped and continued to spy on the couple.
He saw Logan wrap his arm around Bella and gasped.
"He wrapped his arm around her! What do they think this it? Their honeymoon!"
Charlotte's eyes grew. "Uh, Kid Danger? Isn't that the Mad Granny?"
Henry looked into the binoculars and spotted the Mad Granny approaching his boss.
"Uh-oh."
As Captain Man continued his speech, the Mad Granny suddenly whacked him in the head and everyone gasped as he fell to the ground and she continuously whacked him with an umbrella. Bella gasped and wanted to do something, but Logan held her in his arms.
The Mad Granny ran off and Captain Man groaned.
"Come on!"
Two men helped Captian Man up and he groaned.
"I'm okay." He chuckles. "I'm okay..."
Kid Danger ran in. "Hey! Don't worry! I'm here."
Captain Man glared at his sidekick.
"Thanks!"
From behind the bathrooms, two police officers were dragging Jasper, whose pants were down, away.
"But I had to go!" He protested. "Nobody else was even in there! And my eyes were closed! Piper! Piper, where are you?!"
Henry looked confused. "I don't even want to know." He licked his hand and tried to fix Ray's hair, but Ray slapped his hand away.
"Get off me!"
——
Arabella's POV
The next day, we were in the Man Cave watching the footage from yesterday of the Mad Granny hitting my dad in the head.
My dad slowed the footage down and watched himself get whacked in the head before pausing it.
"See, what we learned there is that when an old lady wants to beat me and you're not paying attention!" My dad chuckled and I sighed at Henry. "What happens to old Ray?"
Why wasn't he helping my dad? That's my biggest question, was he distracted?
"You get beaten..."
"I'm sorry, what was that?"
"You get beaten!"
"I get beaten, yeah!" My dad snapped and resumed the video.
"And the beat goes on!" I say and sip on my drink.
Henry got up and moved away, and my dad approached him.
"You know, Henry, when I picked you as my sidekick, it was because I thought I could aways count on you to be by my side." My dad explained to Henry. "I mean, it's in the name. Sidekick. Why'd you let me down?"
"Because-"
He stopped when he saw me and sighed. "Because, I saw Bella there."
I looked up and realized something. He saw me with Logan and got distracted.
"What about Bella?"
"Henry..."
"No." Henry denied Charlotte. "I saw her there with Logan."
"You what?!" My dad exclaimed and I glared at Henry.
"Henry!" I exclaimed.
"Bella, I told you aren't allowed to see Logan." My dad ordered me and I rolled my eyes.
"I know, but I don't understand why." I say and stand up. "It makes no sense."
"It makes complete sense when you're a father trying to protect his daughter!" My dad said and I became silent. "Listen, I know you're growing up and want some independence, but you have to understand where I'm coming from. This isn't about him finding out you're my daughter or Henry's Kid Danger, this is about me not wanting you to grow up."
"Daddy, I know that and Henry is the same way." I reason. "Henry, is just trying to protect me from getting hurt, and you don't want me to get grow up, but all teenage girls go through this stuff. I like Logan, I really do. Don't you want me to be happy?"
Henry and my dad share a look. "I guess..."
"Thank you." I sigh.
My dad turned to Henry. "Henry, I appreciate you protecting my daughter, but you're Kid Danger and you have a responsibility. Don't let me down again!"
My dad walked away after that and I looked at Henry.
"Why?"
He was confused. "Why, what?"
"Why would you do this to me? I like Logan and now I may not be able to see him."
"Airy, I'm just trying to protect you."
"Well, maybe I don't want you to protect me anymore!" I exclaim and Henry's face falls. "Just stay out of my love life."
Before Henry could responded, I walked away from him.
I need Henry to leave my love life alone.
——
That Night
I knocked on the window and it opened to reveal the cutest boy ever.
"Hey." He greeted with a perfect smile. "I'm glad you're here, Little Bella."
"Hey, Logan."
