A Very Merry Superhero Wedding (Adventures of Lewis and Clarke) (19 page)

The door opened and the policeman said something but Tori couldn’t catch his words and then he was pushing her head onto her knees and still talking and she thought she heard, “That’s it. Breathe.”

Tori gulped in air, then tried to slow down and get the blood to stop pounding in her head. It’s not possible. It simply wasn’t possible to live for twenty-seven years and not know…not make the connection.

She’d test it. Then she’d know. It wouldn’t work, and then she’d know her mother was right. There was no such thing as superheroes. No such thing as super powers.

Tori looked up at the cop. “I need some M&M’S. I went in for M&M’S and I need them, please.” She knew she was jabbering, but she had to know. “Please get me some.”

“Just take a deep breath and–”

She glared into his eyes, hoping and terrified and feeling very, very alone. Her gut burned with heat. “I need M&M’S! Please!”

The cop stopped in the middle of his sentence. He looked at her for a moment, then stood up and turned back toward the store. When he came back with every kind of M&M’S flavor the store sold, Tori fainted.

A Note
From Kitty

I hope you enjoyed readin

A Very Merry Superhero Weddin

as much as I enjoyed writing it! I never intended to write this story when I started the Adventures of Lewis and Clarke series, but the idea is fascinating to me. How can two people meet and immediately know that they want to spend the rest of their lives together — and then do it successfully?

If you enjoyed this book, check out the short story prequel, “
Superhero in Disguise
,” the story of how Tori and Joe met on Halloween, and
Unexpected Superhero
, book one in the Adventures of Lewis and Clarke series, where Tori finds out why she’s different.

About the
Author

Kitty Bucholtz grew up forty miles east of Traverse City, Michigan—a town that is a smaller but surprisingly similar version of Double Bay, Michigan, the setting of this book. She went to college in Traverse City, met and married the love of her life, and waved goodbye to everything she knew when she and her husband John struck out for parts unknown.

Their adventures included going back to school, changing careers, and traveling Down Under. Kitty now writes wherever John is working on a film. They spent three years in Sydney, Australia, where Kitty earned her M.A. in Creative Writing from University of Technology, Sydney, while John made a penguin named Mumble dance.

Only God knows where they’ll wind up next—but they’re pretty sure it will be another cool chapter in their adventure!
