Playing With Fire (tales of an extra ordinary girl)

Résumé of Belle Jamison, aka “Wonder Girl”

OBJECTIVE:

To kick major scrim ass; save the world from parasters; mentor my smart-mouthed sidekick, Tanner; track down the elusive Dr. Roberts; and, um, learn to control the flying dirt balls that keep mysteriously hitting any woman who checks out Rome.

EXPERIENCE:

•Many hours of (hot and heavy) practice with Rome, aka “Cat Man”

•Totally successful elimination of the evil scrim Pretty Boy

•Roasting marshmallows with my bare hands (and eyes)

•Watering the flowers at my dad’s assisted living center (without a hose)

•Orchestrating a snowball fight in the middle of summer (Tanner so got his ass kicked!)

EDUCATION:

•The School of Rome

•Awarded straight A’s and aced all “extra credit” assignments

INTERESTS:

Long walks on the beach (with Rome), sunsets (watching them with Rome), romance novels (acting out the love scenes with Rome), cold winter nights (snuggling with Rome), Rome in kilts/uniforms/calendars (or nothing at all), and massages (given by Rome).
