Mongus relayed the night's events to Betty and Beeny in the pub after rehearsal. Betty tried to play the whole thing down as she dealt the cards for a game of crib. Beeny led the nine of clubs and Floppy, on a break from university, happily scored the first two points of the game with the six of diamonds. This went entirely unnoticed by Mongus who enquired, 'Who we on?' '15', came the unanimous reply. Betty was really pleased with herself. She had saved the day again and no-one was any the wiser. Her alter-ego, Super Nooooooooooooooodles, had been born when Betty had realised that her favourite tasty snack gave her remarkable strength and speed, such was its tasty goodness. As was customary for all those blessed with such super-human capabilities, Betty had decided that the best way to put these talents to good use would be to have a disguise that allowed her to carry on with her normal life. She was a bit miffed that her new talents did not extend to flying or walking up walls but had become more philosophical about these limitations as she realised that she was still much more superer than most people.
