He is sitting at the computer failing to learn anything useful about the villains who might be working with Doctor Apocalypse. "Yeah," he calls out. His mother opens the door and walks in. "They canceled school for tomorrow. But that doesn't mean you should stay up all night."This is not what he was expecting her to say and he looks blankly at her for a moment before a dismissive "Yeah, I know" escapes his lips.His mother kisses him on the forehead and says, "Goodnight." She turns and leaves.* * *Brandon wakes and finds he has overslept. It is after 9:00. He turns on the TV and flips through the local stations. He gets an excellent view of Centralist Plaza from many angles. He sees how the area is cordoned off. It suddenly hits him that this is real. People are going to know Princess Starlight. He is going to be seen by all these cameras. Hopefully he will be a hero and he will not be able to claim the glory.These thoughts plague his mind as he dresses and goes to eat breakfast. Brandy is in the living room. As he passes through, he hears her muttering, "Where is she?"Not wanting to disappoint the Centurions (or his sister), Brandon sneaks off to the boat house as soon as he can. Before he enters, he look south toward Upper MainTown and can see all the helicopters circling Centralist Plaza from his estate's canal side shore. He ducks into the boat house and transforms into Princess Starlight.The Princess flies low above the canalway until she is a couple miles away before flying up and approaching the Upper MainTown from Little Russia. The amount of helicopters in the air as she approaches the Plaza is nearly a flying hazard. She crosses into the inner ring of helicopters at around sixty miles per hour. Brandon can imagines the squeal of glee made by his sister as The Princess notices a bunch of cameras swinging around to catch a glimpse of her arrival.The Princess lands in front of Centurion Tower and walks in. She walks up to the receptionist. "Hi, remember me? I'm here to see the Centurions."</blockquote>
