Once I stumbled across the cartoon Mona the Vampire and I loved it. It's a cute story about a group of friends who, as their imaginary personas, take on a variety of imagined "supernatural threats" that threaten their home town and reflect real world problems.
Mona was the leader, becoming, with the help of a bad wig and a cape, Mona the Vampire! Lily was the quiet one who, wearing high heals, a blond wing and a crown, would become Princess Giant. Charley would put on a superhero-ish costume, picked up a super soaker (his Zap Ray) to become Zapman. Angela is the Nuevo rich, snobby foil for Mona and her friends.
The stories would fall out in one of three ways. First they could solve the imaginary problem while someone else solved the real problem while the kids were none the wiser. Second their imaginary adventure could somehow solve the real world problem. But the third, and rarest, story would have the kids solve their imaginary problem but somehow evidence at the end of the episode would indicate that their adventure was real. That got me thinking.
As kids get older they leave behind their childhood games and move on to more mature things. So I thought about what the kids would be like at 13, early teens. As they knew their adventures would soon be coming to an end they threw themselves into one last series of adventures, but that's when tragedy struck, Charlie was hit by a car. With Charlie consigned to a wheelchair and Mona and Lily suffering from guilt and the fall-out of Charlie's injury, reality was about to crush their imaginary world for good.
But that's when the supernatural started rearing its ugly head again, this time with seeming real world consequences. Things going wrong around town, Mona's cat Fang suddenly talking to her while she's suddenly able to mesmerize people with her gaze. Lily waking to find her pajamas stretched out and ripped as if someone much bigger had been wearing them. And the new doctor and her assistant talking about getting Charlie walking again with technology that would belong in the comic books. Angela suddenly admitting she has feelings for Mona?!?

I tried to give some variety to the kids' bodies. Mona's the super active "tomboyish" so she's a bit taller, thinner and a little less curvy. Lily, "Princess Giant," is, of course, a bit shorter. Being the "girly girl" of the group Lily also got a bit of a fashion update and is a little curvier than Mona. Charley has been hitting the gym a bit before the accident and has a little more mass to him now. He's also gotten his hair a bit wilder now to go with a growing confidence, the same confidence that will have him walking again in time. I probably should have given rich girl Angela a bit more fashiony update, but instead I did a more linear upgrade with some added small details.
