Mr. Presto stood near the black box and reached into his hat.
He pulled out several swords.
He looked into the camera and smiled.
"Say good-bye to Rocket Girl," he said.
Mr. Presto slowly pushed a sword through the box. Shlink!
"Aah!" Mara cried.
Mr. Presto stuck another sword through the box. Shlink!
"Oh no!" cried Detective Smith.
One by one, Mr. Presto stuck all the swords through the box.
When he was done, he opened the box.
It was empty.
A hole was burned through the back.
"Aargh!" cried Mr. Presto. "Rocket Girl escaped!"
Mr. Presto looked at the camera. "Never mind.
It's time to make all the money in Metro City Bank disappear!"
"Oh no!" cried Detective Smith. "Where's Rocket Girl?"
Mr. Presto walked into Metro City Bank.
There was a line of people.
He waved his wand. "One, two, three . . . Presto!"
Poof! All the people disappeared.
A second later they appeared outside the bank.
"What just happened?" said a man.
Inside, the bank teller looked at Mr. Presto.
"Hello, sir," she said. "How can I help—"
Poof! She disappeared.
Mr. Presto went behind the counter.
He stood in front of a door.
It was big and round.
It was made of solid metal.
Mr. Presto looked at the camera.
"And now, the moment we've all been waiting for.
Behind this door is a huge pile of money.
And it's all going to be mine!"
Mr. Presto raised his wand.
"One, two, three, presto!" The door swung open.
Mr. Presto looked in and saw—Rocket Girl!
Terrell, Mara, and Jack cheered.
Roxy ripped the wand from Mr. Presto's hand.
Mr. Presto was confused. "How did you—?"
"There will be no more magic for you, Mr. Presto!" said Roxy.
She held the wand up with both hands.
And she snapped it in half. Crack!
"No!" cried Mr. Presto.
Detective Smith breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurray!" shouted the Mighty Man actor.
"Yay!" shouted Mara.
She, Jack, and Terrell jumped up and down.
"That was the best show ever!" said Terrell.
"Yeah," said Jack.
"I like Mighty Man, but Rocket Girl is a real superhero!"
Several minutes later Roxy walked in.
"Hey, guys!" she said. "I'm back!"
Terrell looked at the TV and then at Roxy.
He gave her a suspicious look.
Roxy just smiled. "So . . . did I miss anything?"
