Chapter 2: A Good Game

As the two began to eat their Super Hero pizza, Mike thought of a good game.


"I thought of a good game," Mike said redundantly. "If you were a super hero and could have any super power, what would it be?"


"Dude, it's like you don't even know what a game is," Johnny said. "In order to be a game, there has to be a winner."


"Oh, yeah? What about the game of life?"


"The Millionaire Tycoon wins."


"True enough," Mike said. "Okay, how about this? I have a philosophical question: If you were a super hero and could have any super power, what would it be?"


"That's better." Johnny thought about it for a while, and said, "I don't know. Why?" Clearly, he hadn't thought about it long enough.


"Come on, dude. Just answer the question." Mike said.


He thought about it for a while longer and said, "Well, I guess it would be cool to be able to fly. I mean, that way, I could like get out in a hurry if I ever needed to."


"Yeah, that would be cool," Mike said. "But lots of super heroes can fly. Wouldn't you want something original?"


"Dr. Pepper is the taste of originality, but I'd take a Coke any day. And I want to fly."

  1. These "chapters" better get more entertaining soon, otherwise I'm going back to reading Mary Worth in the comics. That reminds me, I forgot to read Broom Hilda today! Gotta go.
