Jeremiah: Oh-ho, I see you hiding there, young lady! Who are you? Come out of there and state your business!
Stevie: It’s me, Jere-Giant! Ain’t I beeyootifull?
Jeremiah: Sure, I guess. Who are you?
Stevie: I’m Stevie, silly.
Jeremiah: Sorry, I don’t know a Stevie Silly.
Stevie: Yes, you do! You knows me – come on, Jere-Giant!
Jeremiah: Nope, don’t know anybody named Stevie Silly. Used to know a Super Stevie, but never a….
Stevie: That’s me! See???
Jeremiah: Oh, so it is you! Howya doin’ Super Stevie? Didn’t recognize you in your new uh…. whatever that is you’re wearing.
Stevie: Super Stevie is goin’ under the covers as a Beeyootifull and Famous Scream Star. So I gots to wear this disguise.
Jeremiah: Well, I’m sure glad you’re on the job. What would I do without my favorite superhero? Who would save the world? *looks closer* Hey Stevie….
Stevie: Super Stevie!
Jeremiah: Super Stevie, yeah. Where did you get that pretty necklace you’re wearing?
Stevie: Who me? I……I finded it.
Jeremiah: Where did you find it?
*Squirms, knowing she “found” the necklace in a place she wasn’t allowed to go*
Stevie: Super Stevie don’t ‘member.
Jeremiah: Well, it’s real pretty all right.
Jeremiah: And where did you get those fancy shoes?
Stevie: It’s a secret. I can’t tell ALL my secrets, Jere-Giant!
Stevie: I gots to go fight grime now. Seeya Jere-Giant!
Jeremiah: Bye Super….. I mean Miss Beeyootifull and Famous Scream Star!
…A short time later…..
Jeremiah: Psssst…. Super Stevie!
Stevie: Shhhhhhh, quiet, Jere-Giant. Don’t tell nobody who I really is.
Jeremiah: Okay. But ya know Stevie…. Err…. Miss Beeyootifull and Famous Scream Star….. I got to thinking that a beautiful lady such as yourself really needs a prettier necklace than that one you found. Maybe one with a lot of different colors. A really Famous Scream Star would have lots of colors, dontcha think?
Stevie: Maybe….
Jeremiah: And I just happened to see this one… and look at all the pretty colors in it.
Stevie: Ooooh, that’s real pretty.
Jeremiah: Thing is… it was kinda expensive, cost me a lot of money. So I can’t just give it to you.
Stevie: Oh.
Jeremiah: So I was thinking, maybe you’d trade your other necklace for this one. What do you say?
Stevie: Okay!
*Once the exchange is made and Stevie wears the new necklace, she turns to model it for Jeremiah*
Stevie: Hey, Jere-Giant, now I’m even more beeyootifull!
Jeremiah: You sure are.
Stevie: Whatcha gonna do with the pretty red one?
Jeremiah: I can’t tell you ALL my secrets, Super Stevie.
