Episode 46: The Shoelace Scandal

In todays episode, Evil Jack the Whipper kidnaps Lovely Lauren and ties her up by the fountain. He steals her shoelaces and throws it into the icy waters. It lands at the top of the sharp twisted metal sculpture in the center of the famous fountain. Lovely Lauren screams for help, but no one can reach the simple shoelace. Kate walks by, sees what is happening and quickly dodges behind the bushes. There, she rips open her shirt to reveal her secret identity, SUPERKATE!! In one fowl swoop, she knocks Jack the Whipper to the ground and unties Lovely Lauren. Then, SuperKate uses her superpowers to rescue the shoelace. (She takes off her shoes, rolls up her pants and wades into the frigid, pirannah-infested waters) But alas! The shoelace is still out of reach! Clever SuperKate tries to reach it with a stick, but to no avail. Finally, SuperKate gets brave and starts to climb the jagged sculpture. Her wet, frozen feet slip on the slick metal, but she keeps climbing. Finally, she reaches the top, and grabs the shoelace, but it gets stuck! It has knotted itself around one of the portruding tips. SuperKate climbs higher. She looks down. The raging rapids seem miles away. Her palms get sweaty and she swallows hard. With a shaking hand, she grasps the string and unties the nasty knot. She throws the schoelace down to Lovely Lauren who graciously thanks SuperKate. "It's all in a days work..." announces SuperKate. The town of Cowell is safe, thinks Kate.... for now at least.....
