A "you deserve it!" chant starts up. Nikki says she keeps pinching herself to make sure she's not asleep, but this dream is now real and in the past when she's reached for the stars, she just didn't have the confidence needed. But then one day she realized, if she fails, she fails, she's still her. And when she put on this outfit, it gives her the confidence and reminds her, and she wants to remind all of us, that no matter what, if you believe in yourself you can overcome everything. It worked for her, it can work for you... we can all be Almost Super Heroes. Nikki raises the title in the air as fans cheer her on.
