Thanks guys! This keeps the forum nice and neat.
It looks like Kath managed to deal with Atsali's first wet dream without traumatizing her. Pretty good for a newbie Mom.
And we're off with a new character! Who you obviously don't want to talk down to! (shamefully puts a small donation into the Pun Jar.)

Five inches, Paul says.
At five inches, everything would be twelve times larger and longer for her than for normal human sized students. You wonder how she moves between classes between bells in time, given the distances that would be involved. Maybe she has someone who carries her...

Nope - brand new, but Paul's been previewing her on his eBay page.
Proof Positive the world is not flat: If it were, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.

Haven't you ever tried to catch a cricket? They can MOVE.

Did the poor guy have time to say 'Ouch' after the 'KRACK!'and before he hit the ground?[/size]
Or was the 'KRACK!' a double sound? He being hit and him hitting the floor so close together it sounded like one?
Feel sorry for the guy. No matter how badly he's just had his tail whupped, the only thing he can do is look embarrassed and swallow his shame.
No matter how powerful Calista is, he can't challenge her to a fight. Teens' code of honor wouldn't allow it.
She's only five inches tall.
It just wouldn't be cricket.

Whoo Hoo Wapsi's back!!!! Just gonna say: "Tiny little teacup packed with C-4." The bigger they are the harder they fall and all that. Reminds me of Atom Ant.
Make the wrong things difficult, and the right things easy. Notice the smallest change and the slightest try and reward him.

From the attitude anyone who calls her cricket is going to get whomped, or kracked, on. She took it as an insult!!!! That is not a nickname she will accept. Probably due to her size made the connection and teased her about it, to their sorrow. So I suggest strongly we do NOT keep that name attached to her. I wouldn't want her after me. Calista is what she wants, so maybe Cali would work. It actually suggests the amount of power she has for destruction. So now Cali and Sali can become BBF right?
Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.

Off Topic
Since you brought up "Glamor" and "mundies" - "Fables the video game" aka "The Wolf Among Us" is still on Steam Sale(TM) the next 20 or so hours; even though I don't know the comics I can't recommend that game enough... this is how a game based on a comic needs to be done.

Calista Cricket?
Doubt it. Jiminy is a very old spelling and was resurrected for the movie. That is about the only modern usage going around. If her last name was Cricket they would probably be making references to the lighter, not the movie. I would wager that calling her either would cause this reaction. What would be a further problem is that with her apparent strength she probably can jump real high as well.

Hmm, upon further investigation the 'Princess' part might just be when she's dressed up and make-believing.
I'm expecting anybody in and around the US of A, and assorted globally connected bits via Hollywood, would know of iminy Cricket.
What I don't expect is cricket lighters to be a reference, despite the fact that I bought more than a few back when I was lighting up stuff. These are modern 21st Century young'ns so how would they know to call a lighter anything more than a 'Bic'? Not being contentious, just dems me thinks.
I'm also thinking Cricket and Atsali will be able to commiserate re: being judged on appearances...

I envisioned it more as the sound of a skull hitting a hard floor.

Well, that is one way for Atsali to safely transport Calista around, I suppose. . .
Gotta love that we're back with an opening sally of laughs like this.
