Robot went back to Hope's room.
Soon Hope and Julia came upstairs.
"Riding bikes is the best!" Julia said.
"That was so much fun."
"I guess," Hope said.
But Robot saw Hope's frown.
He could tell Hope was not having fun.
"I know what we can do next!" Julia said.
"Let's put on makeup!"
Julia dug around in her suitcase.
She pulled out a pink bag.
"Um, aren't we too young for makeup?" Hope said.
"It's just pretend!" Julia said. "Come here.
I'll put purple eyeshadow on you!"
Julia held out a brush.
Hope shook her head. "No, thanks. I . . ."
"This is my chance," Robot thought.
"I can be a hero again—I'll save Hope!"
Robot clicked his claws and beeped.
He flashed his lights.
He headed toward Julia.
But she quickly stepped away from him.
"Your weird toy is being weird again!" Julia said.
"I think Robot's battery is broken or something," Hope said.
Julia rolled her eyes. "Never mind.
I don't want to play with makeup anymore.
I'm going to find my dog and play with her."
Robot felt proud as Julia left the room.
"I saved Hope!" he thought.
"I got rid of Julia!"
But when he looked at Hope, she didn't look happy.
She looked as if she wanted to cry!
Hope stared at the floor.
"I miss the old Julia," she whispered.
"I don't have a best friend anymore."
Robot felt bad too.
"Maybe I'm not such a good hero after all."
