Steph is in the sunny loungeroom of the Cooper farmhouse, bent over a notebook. The sewing machine is set up beside her and there's a bag of rather eggplant-coloured cloth at her feet, but she's still in the planning stage, lost in her scribbles.

Steph beams. "Damn right. I should have you along all the time."

Angela grins. "What would they call me? What's a good sidekick name?"

"Hmm." Steph regards her friend, thoughtfully.

"Glamazon?"

Angela stares at her for a moment before dissolving into helpless laughter.

"And that is why I love you," she says, trying to catch her breath.

Steph gives her a thumbs-up, still giggling herself, just at Angela's reaction.

"Okaaay. Hmm. We could call you ... Asskicking Chick? I dunno, Angie, I only picked a name because of my father."

"You could call me Cover Girl, then." She grinned. "Cos I'll totally be covering your ass."

Steph giggles. ":I like it! And then there's the really important question - what about an outfit?"

"It would have to be something that goes with eggplant," she said firmly. "Coordination would be important."

"Oh definitely," Steph agrees, giggling. "And something protective. So that you can ass-kick in safety."

"But stylishly protective."

"Of course! I couldn't be Cover Girl without being stylish!"

"Exactly," Steph agrees, laughing. "Hmm... I'm thinking fishnets."

"Fishnets? Won't they be sort of...not really very protective?"

"Ask Dinah," Steph says, grinning. Then she laughs. "I'm thinking - actually, I'm thinking I'm gonna make one a bit like Dinah's for me."

"Oooh, you'll look good in that," Angie says. "What's the occasion?"

"Well, it wouldn't be for crimefighting," Steph confesses, turning pink and giggling.

"Oooh, Steph is gonna be naughty," she said, grinning.

"But it's fun to plan to be naughty."

Steph giggles. "So it's not a totally ridiculous idea?"

A validation, Steph constantly seeks it.

"I mean, I don't think he'll think so, but ... is it totally nuts?"

"Not nuts. Hey, you can't be sexy if you're not a little silly, right? it's half of being sexy, having fun."

Steph beams at her gratefully.

"I hope so."

"Hey, you can't be serious all the time. That would be boring."

"I don't think I'm serious any of the time," Steph says, giggling. "Neither's Socks. That's why I love him so much."
