Captain Liberty is clearly not in a very happy mood when class starts. "So I'd like to share a little tip with all of you on how to protect your secret identity: DON'T BE FIVE. That being said, anyone who brings this weekend up to me is getting soooo much detention. Now pass up your homework.

"Now," she continues, passing around a handout. "This was supposed to be next week's lesson, but I switched it. Because I wanna. So there are going to be times that you don't come off looking so good in the press. And the fact is, the press is really important. You look in any newspaper and they're going to report all the crimes. There are even police blotters detailing arrests. Studies are done on statistics, there are sociology reports on crime... Really, you get into crimefighting and you're putting yourself out there. Even if you're not really in the public eye, people will watch what you do, and there'll always be one person complaining that what you did was wrong or not good enough, and they'll be the most vocal. Sucks, huh? Now just imagine what would happen if they found out something more personal about you, like, randomly, say pictures in a men's magazine. It can even be something way smaller than that. Something you wouldn't even normally notice. You have to find a way to deal with it without damaging yourself or your reputation. Worse, at least.

"What you've got in front of you is a list. You've all been randomly given a prompt, something you've gotten in trouble for with the press. Now, these aren't all things that would happen while fighting crime. To be honest, I kind of just went through In Touch magazine and swiped stuff that happened to celebrities. Just run with it, it's only practice. You're going to pair up, one of you playing a reporter who's quizzing a superhero about this horrible thing that happened or didn't happen but it's in the newspapers anyway. Once you've either come to a reasonable conclusion, switch places. Any questions? Good."

Pirate Princess is looking for a partner.

Miley waved at Pippi and sat down. "Wanna pair up?"

Pippi waved back. "Sure!"

"Great!" Miley looked at her handout and grinned. "So you have a little exhibition thing going on?"

"Why no, not at all." Pippi said absently folding her arms over her chest. "Whatever do you mean?"

"I'm talking about your little...slip on camera the other day." Miley said.

"I certainly didn't intend for such a thing to happen. But I had been shot with a laser 32 times in a row, I think the fabric held up pretty well under the circumstances."

"Do you think that the 'accident'," Miley said, using finger quotes, "and your clothing choices send the right message to the girls who look up to you?"

"Yes, and that message is two fold. Firstly, that a cape does have its purpose in superhero fashion. And secondly that modesty isn't as important as saving the life of a certain 'reporter'," she said with finger quotes, "from a falling chunk of masonry even though she won't stop following you asking questions after you politely tell her you have to go while holding up your top because the back disintegrated after being shot with a laser 32 times in a row."

Miley dissolved into giggles. "You win, Pippi. I think you can handle any reporter trying to besmirch the image of Pirate Princess."

Pippi giggled back.

"Thanks Mil... Miss Normal." she grinned. "Okay... My turn... A hem..."

Pippi put on a very fake looking smile, she doing a Miss Pricillious impression. Not that Miley would know who that is.

"Ooooh Miss Norrrmal. How are you today?" she gushed. "Feeling good are we hmmm?"

"I'm feeling great." Miley said with a smile. "Thanks for asking."

"I'm so glad, you certainly didn't look very good when you came out of breaking up that evil plot at that rock and roll concert out in LA. After those pictures were released... We've all been rather concerned for your health and well being Miss Normal..."

"It was a long night." Miley nodded. "By the time I left I was tired but the next day I was back on the job like normal. So no harm done."

"There are rumors that you're on the marajuwana." Pippi said with a strait face. "Or even... ... What would you say to those accusations."

"That's completely untrue." Miley said with a frown. "I'm too busy being high on life to do any drugs. Besides, as everyone knows from my ad campaign, superheroing is my anti-drug."

"Oh I'm so glad we could get that cleared up." Pippi said, looking rather unconvinced.

"I'm glad too. I take my status as a role model very seriously." This was actually more up Miley's alley than stopping a robbery. "A lot of young girls are looking up to me and I want to show them that they can be super and drug-free too!"

Pippi nodded and smiled.

"I think we can chalk that up as a success for you Miss Normal."

"Yay, we both rock!" Miley said happily.

"Huzzah!"
