makes perfect
Bean is in Grant Park, and she is arguing with a rock.
She's in a grassy and largely uninhabited section of the park, since she doesn't really want anyone to stumble in accidentally and get a potential rock to the face. Potato is lying near a tree, watching the scene with a disgruntled look. Bean is pacing back and forth in front of a perfectly normal, flatish rock about the size of a golf ball.
"Alright, listen here, rock. I don't have anything against you or anything, and anyway, it's not like I'm even gonna hurt you if this goes right, but you gotta start working with me, alright? For the greater good and all! I mean, this is sorta to help people and all, so you'll be able to go and tell the other rocks that you totally helped in the fight against--against evil and stuff! Dude, you'll be a hero, you know? So come on. I just need you to move, alright?"
She turns and squints at the rock as if she's trying to melt it with her brain, but nothing happens. After a moment of this she steps back and jabs a finger toward the rock.
"Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart! Move, rock! ...No?"
Nothing happens.
"Abra Kadabra! Wingardium Leviosa! Use the Force, Bean! Over 9000!"
Nothing happens.
"In the name of Superman and Batman and Professor Xavier and Goku and Sailor Moon and Rorschach and Wonder Woman and Spiderman and the Fourth Hokage and by the power invested in me by the power of Grayskull, I command you to move!"
The rock flips into the air and lands about a foot away. Bean blinks and stares at it in shock, then leaps into the air and cheers.
She's been at this for awhile.
