~~~Tina's POV~~~

     We were sitting around at a small table, all alone, while Alexi babbled about being a heroine once again. Emilia and Luka are arguing about wether it was fair if Emilia had to call Luka onee-chan, or not.

     Suddenly, I turn around and there's Illyana, leaning over to hug me from behind. I couldn't help it I slapped her away, making her flinch.

     Every head turned my way, with a questioning look in their eyes. I could feel my face heating up. Alexi was standing behind me yelling at me for interrupting her little speech.

     Alexi's glaring at me at me. Then she continues talking about what a great heroine she is. 

     "...And Illyana will be my sidekick. 'Cause all real heroines have sidekicks..." Alexi continued.

     "Wha-? Why me?" Illyana asks shooting a curious glance at Alexi.

     Alexi just shrugged. "If your not brave enough to be the heroine's sidekick then Tina will be my sidekick. Right Tina?"
