Embarrassed by his shyness (isn't that a funny thought), Klark Cent changed his name to Charlie. His relational life was over despite the fact that he was only in middle school. He was down in the dumps over losing Lois Lane.
But then the energizing announcement was made: Willy Wonka was giving away a lifetime supply of relational happiness to 5 lucky people. To win, you just had to buy Candy bars and look for a golden ticket within. Charlie was excited until he started thinking. Over-thinking has always been one of Charlie's big problems. He calculated the odds. He wasn't willing to make the investment necessary to win the prize. And a golden ticket certainly wasn't going to fall from heaven.
Then one day at school a friend of a friend handed Charlie a Candy bar. He opened it nervously before class started. Low and behold....a GOLDEN TICKET. Charlie read the wording of the ticket to be sure it was real: 'You are the lucky winner of a relationship. To claim your prize simply look back three rows and across two aisles.' Charlie slowly turned his head until the smiling face of a sweet young girl glided into view.
But Charlie was skeptical. Some 'prizes' are scams dressed in disguise. He needed protection from humilation, so he called his lawyer who advised him to sign a 2 week relational happiness contract. After the completion of the 2 week period Charlie could re-evaluate his decision and make a bigger commitment. Charlie's lawyers received an odd look from the sweet young girl, but she agreed to the timid terms.
At the end of the two weeks, Charlie decided not to renew the contract. Nothing against the girl, but relational happiness wasn't too fun in middle school. When Charlie wanted to talk about sports with his friends, the sweet girl wanted to hold hands while she talked to her friends.
Charlie gained some confidence from knowing that some girl had given him this golden ticket. Perhaps Charlie needed confidence more than he needed a girlfriend. Charlie was no longer in the dumps
Part 3 should be posted tomorrow

~When Charlie officially changed his name, he had to give up super-powers. I guess.
~In my experience it's almost impossible to spend a lot of time with someone of the opposite gender w/o having some degree of romantic thought and/or desire.
~Some people have been saying my clues are too hard. All I can say is....too bad. I don't want to make them easy. What's probably happening is you simply don't know the person I'm talking about. That's OK. When you do know the person being represented, I think the clues will show themselves to be plentiful.
I don't have a log in name. I don't need one. Just call me one of the girls...
I recognize this one. But I've always been horrible with names. Unless you were a 2003 freshman at Bethany. Then I knew your name. But this one... Matthew's middle school years.. i'm unable to come up with a name. Good story though :)
I know she'll never look...so i'll give you a clue
Candy Demarzio
To be honest...i have no idea how to spell her last name
