Enter The Angela
Mark and Derek are torturing Angela in their normal brotherly fashion. Unable to do anything, she seeks out the help of Coach Rhinehart. He teaches her karate, in particular, he teaches her how to do a karate flip. Oddly enough, as soon as Angela learns these new skills, Mark and Derek stop bothering her. She begs them to bother her so that she can flip them. They're just not up to it. Angela asks her friends at school if anyone is interested in a karate demonstration. She's more then happy to flip a volunteer. Nobody seems particularly interested. Angela is itching to flip someone! On cue, Nanette comes by. She's half way through a sentence when Angela flips her. For no reason other then Nanette is always bothering her, it was pure reflex. Quickly Angela is brandished with the reputation of school bully. Not even her friends want to hang out with her. Self-defense is great when protecting yourself from others, but what do you do to protect yourself from you?
If The Shoe Fits
Angela is forced to accompany her brothers as her mother buys them a new pair of shoes. Since she doesn't go through shoes as quickly, she's not getting a new pair. Of course, there's no reason for her not to try on a pair of funky orange runners. A couple of distractions later, Angela is on her way home when she notices she forgot to take the store shoes off. She's a thief - but only by accident. She convinces her friends to help her return the shoes before she gets into trouble. In order to do that though, the orange shoes have to remain in perfect condition and Angela's parents can't find out. Angela's friends are forced to carry her over puddles and other such schemes. At one point, Angela has to cover her shoes with bags and invent a new game called "bagfoot" just to keep her parents from noticing anything out of the ordinary. Everything seems to work out fine. Angela makes it back to the store but there's a police officer at the entrance, waiting for somebody. Is Angela too late? Is the officer there to arrest her?
