He rolled over in bed, and his arm crept out from under the blanket and reached blindly towards the nightstand. He banged around the nightstand until he found the phone. He grabbed the receiver and muttered an incoherent hello into the mouthpiece.<br>“Alex, is that you?” asked the voice on the other end of the line.<br>“Muwmph,” Alex yawned. “Yeah, it’s me,” he amended groggily. “Who is this?”<br>“Alex, it’s Tess.” <br>“Oh, hey Tess, what do you want?” asked the now wide-awake Alex. “And did you know it’s only 6:30 on a Sunday morning?”<br>“Oh, I woke you,” said Tess solicitously. “I’m sorry Alex, it’s just that I need some help, and you were the only person I could think of to ask.” Alex rolled his eyes, and reached over onto his nightstand and slipped the platinum ring that Isabelle gave him on his finger. “No problem Tess, what can I do for you?”<br>“I really need to talk to you, alone. Can we meet somewhere?”<br>“Mmmm, yeah,” said Alex, thinking quickly. “How about that new pancake house that opened up. It’s opened 24 hours. In about a half an hour?” he asked.<br>“Oh Alex, you’re a real lifesaver,” Tess cooed over the phone. “Is uh, Kyle still there?” she asked in a casual voice.<br>“Oh yeah,” lied Alex. “He’s sound asleep on my bedroom floor. Why, do you want to talk to him?”<br>“Oh, no, I just was wondering if he was still there, or on his way home?” said Tess.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> “Don’t tell anybody that I called you or that we are meeting. It’s a secret,”</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> said a voice in Alex’s head.<br>“I’ll just leave him a note telling him I went for a jog,” said Alex. I’ll see you in half an hour.”<br>“Thanks Alex,” said Tess. “You’re the best.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Alex hung up the phone, and rolled out of bed. He threw on some clothes, brushed his teeth and reached for the phone. He punched in Michael’s number and tapped his foot impatiently while he waited for someone to answer.<br>“Kyle!” he said. “Yes, I do know it’s almost 7:00 a.m. Shut up and listen for a second. Tess called me.”<br>“What!” shouted Kyle, his voice still filled with sleep.<br>“Yeah, she has a favor to ask me and wants to meet with me right away, and she is trying to warp me into keeping it a secret. We’re meeting at the new pancake house that opened up. She was also looking for you. She wanted to make sure you were still here. I told her you were asleep.<br>“Thanks, man,” said Kyle. “Okay, I’ll spread the word about what’s up. Meet us at the CrashDown as soon as you can. You remember the code, right?”<br>“Yeah, how hard can it be to remember song N-17 on the jukebox if we need a meeting,” laughed Alex. “Listen, how’s Ava doing?”<br>“She’s okay,” said Kyle. “It’s weird, she looks so much like Tess, and there are parts of her that are like Tess too, but for the most part, she’s entirely different. She’s really nice.” Alex smiled as he listened to his friend’s voice soften as he spoke about Tess.<br>“Just remember, my parents are going away on that cruise next week. She’s more than welcome to stay here while they are gone. Tess might get suspicious if we keep her away from Michael’s apartment for too long.”<br>“Good thinking,” said Kyle. “Listen, you be careful with Tess. There’s no telling what she’s up to with this meeting.”<br>“Don’t worry, I’m not exactly hero material,” laughed Alex. “I’d better get going if I’m going to meet her on time. Oh, by the way, I told her I was leaving you a note saying I was going jogging. Take it easy,” said Alex as he hung up the phone.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Alex slipped out of the house, and drove across the quiet streets of Roswell. He parked several blocks down from the pancake house and walked to the restaurant, using the time to compose himself for what might lie ahead. A jingling bell announced him as he opened the door of the new restaurant. A cursory glance showed him that he and Tess, aside from a waitress and a cook, were the restaurants only occupants. He slid into the booth across from Tess, and quickly grabbed a menu to hide his nervousness.<br>“Hey,” he said, nodding.<br>“Hi Alex,” Tess replied. “Thank you so much for meeting me like this.”<br>“No problem,” he said. “I wasn’t really sleepy anyhow.”<br>“Liar,” she answered with a smile. “It was really selfish of me to wake you up so early on a Sunday morning, but what I have to ask you is really important, and I didn’t want to wait any longer.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You two kids ready to order?” asked the waitress as she approached the table.<br>“Uh, yeah,” said Alex, glancing quickly at the menu. “I’ll have a short stack of buttermilk pancakes with blueberries, and a cup of coffee.”<br>“And you dear?” the waitress asked, turning towards Tess.<br>“That sounds good,” she answered. “I’ll have the same thing.” The waitress scribbled something down on her pad, and took the order over to the kitchen. She returned with a pot of coffee in her hand and made short work of filling the cups. Tess and Alex waited until the waitress was out of earshot before resuming their conversation.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “So,” said Alex, fiddling nervously with his spoon. “What did you need my help with?”<br>“Alex, you’re really smart,” said Tess. “And you’re really great with computers, so I was wondering, if you could possibly figure out a way to help me with a project of sorts?”<br>“I can try,” said Alex. “What’s it for, school?”<br>“I’d rather not say right now.”<br>“Okay, but it’s going to make helping you a bit difficult. Can you at least tell me what you want me to do?”<br>“It’s kind of like translation stuff,” said Tess vaguely.<br>“Oh you mean like from English to Spanish, or something?”<br>“More like something to English,” said Tess.<br>“Oh, said Alex faintly, knowing what she wanted.<br>“I’ll give you all the details later,” said Tess. “Just promise me that you’ll help me.”<br>“Uh, yeah, sure I will Tess,” said Alex.<br>“Thanks Alex,” said Tess, smiling faintly. She closed her eyes, and an intense look of concentration crossed her face. “And remember,” she added. “Don’t tell anybody about this.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp As she spoke, Alex could feel her probing his mind, trying to erase all vestiges of the conversation from his memory.<br>“I want this party to be a surprise for Max,” Tess said. “Don’t forget, don’t tell anyone.”<br>“I won’t tell anyone, Tess,” said Alex. “A surprise party won’t be a surprise if everyone knows about it.”<br>“You’re terrific, Alex,” said Tess, standing up to leave. “Thanks again. I’ll see you later.”<br>“Wait,” said Alex as she slid out of the booth. “What about your breakfast?”<br>“Oh, I’m not very hungry. Thanks anyway.”<br>“See ya,” said Alex, as he reached for the two plates the waitress placed on the table. “I’m glad she’s not hungry, because I sure am.”<br> <p><center><span style="font-family:comic sans ms; color:yellow;font-size:medium;"><a href="http://pub129.ezboard.com/fmajiklmoonsr ...

Max looked up from the notes he was studying.<br>“Tess, when did you get here?” he asked.<br>“Just a minute ago, your mother let me in,” Tess replied<br>“Oh, well come on in then,” said Max, pushing his chair away from his desk. “You were saying something about a favor?” he prompted.<br>“Yeah,” said Tess, smiling slightly. She walked over to him, straddled his legs, and sat down in his lap, facing him. She looped her arms around his neck and leaned in and kissed him deeply. “I have a favor, a really big favor. I need to borrow the destiny book from you for a while.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Max suppressed a shudder as Tess kissed him again, and her tongue snaked its way into his mouth.<br>“Why do you want to borrow it?” he asked when she ended the kiss.<br>“Well, I’ve been having these dreams of our life on Antar lately, and I keep seeing images of me, reading. I can’t remember what it is after I wake up, but I’m hoping that maybe if I look at the book right after I wake up, it will help me to remember. Please Max?” she wheedled, leaning in to kiss him again. Max suffered her kiss silently, raging to himself because he knew he would have to give into her request.<br>“Sure Tess,” he said, standing up and sliding her from his lap. “I don’t have it here. The book is locked away, but I’ll get it too you tonight.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Thanks Max,” said Tess as she leaned in to kiss him fully on the lips again. As they kissed, Max saw flashes that Tess imprinted in his brain. He saw their wedding day; swimming in a Jell-O ocean, and a green sky with double suns. As she deepened the kiss, he began to receive other images; ones that he didn’t think were controlled by Tess. He saw Tess meeting with a strange man, and making love to him passionately. He saw soldiers storming a palace, and bodies strewn over the ground. He saw Michael’s lifeless body, his eyes staring at nothing, and Isabelle being whipped, her lifeless body being left for scavengers. <br>“Max, what is it?” asked Tess, sensing his withdrawal.<br>“N-nothing,” he said, recovering quickly. “I was just getting some flashes of our life on Antar. I can’t believe we really swam in an ocean like that,” he said, forcing a laugh.<br>“We did,” said Tess. “It was one of our favorite things to do!”<br>“I’m really glad I’m starting to learn more about our lives together on Antar,” said Max. “But if I don’t get back to studying, I’m not going to pass this test, and then I won’t have a life here on Earth.”<br>“I get the hint, Max,” said Tess with a laugh. “I’ll leave you to your studying. You won’t forget about the book, will you?”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I won’t,” said Max, rising from his chair. “Come on, I’ll walk you to the door.” He escorted Tess to her car and watched while she drove back out of site. He walked back into his room and went over and opened the window. <br>“Come on in Michael, she’s gone.”<br>“Hey, Maxwell,” said Michael, as he climbed through the window. “How long did you know I was out there?”<br>“Not long,” said Max. “I caught a glimpse of you in the mirror. You heard, I assume?”<br>“Yeah, she wants the book, but I knew that anyhow. I heard back from Alex after their morning meeting. Are you going to give it to her?”<br>“Do I have a choice?” Max asked ruefully.<br>“Not that I can see,” said Michael.<br>“I didn’t think so,” said Max. “Listen, Michael, I need your help with something.”<br>“What? If it’s killing Tess, you already know I’m in.”<br> “No, it’s not that. I want to try and give you a flash of something I saw, and I want you to try and draw it for me.”<br>“Jesus, Maxwell, you don’t think small, do you?”<br>“I’m sorry, Michael. But I saw something when Tess killed me, and I don’t think it was something she generated in my head.”<br>“When she <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>WHAT</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->? When she killed you?”<br>“Sorry, I meant kissed me,” said Max.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Michael reached over to the desk and grabbed a notebook and pencil, and sat down on the bed. “Okay,” he said. “How do you want to do this?”<br>“I don’t know,” said Max, honestly. “I guess I’ll just try grabbing your hand and seeing if I can pass the flash on to you.” As he spoke, he grabbed Michael by the hand, and tried to concentrate on the image of the man he saw making love with Tess. Max tried to focus only on the stranger, and not of the vision of Michael lying on the ground, dead, but the image crept into his mind, no matter what he did. He could feel Michael trying to pull his hand out of Max’s grasp, but he wouldn’t let go, until Michael reached around with his free hand, and punched Max in the jaw. The connection severed, Max rubbed his jaw where Michael had hit him.<br>“I’m sorry, Michael,” said Max. “I didn’t mean for you to see everything.”<br>“My God,” said Michael. “What they did to Isabelle, I can’t believe it.”<br><br>“Michael,” began Max.<br>“Yeah, I know, I saw it,” said Michael, referring to his own death. “But that doesn’t seem as important as protecting you and Isabelle.”<br>“It’s funny,” said Max, though his voice lacked any humor. “I wasn’t worried about myself either. All I could think about was you and Isabelle.”<br>“And I’m sure if Isabelle saw the flash, she’d be more worried about us than herself,” said Michael. <br>“Did you see the other person?” asked Max. “The one with Tess?”<br>“Yeah, I did,” said Michael. “Do you have any idea of who he is?”<br>“No, do you think you can draw him?”<br>”I don’t know, but I’m going to try,” said Michael. He bent down and grabbed the notebook that had slid off the bed. He sketched rapidly, and then passed the notebook to Max.<br>“Is this him?” he asked.<br>“Yeah, it is,” said Max, his stomach sinking as he looked at the image. “Can you round everybody up?” he asked Michael. “I think we need to have another meeting.”<br>“Sure thing,” said Michael. “The quarry again?”<br>“No, your place, I think. I want Ava to take a look at this sketch. How’s she settling in, anyhow?”<br>“Great,” said Michael. “I like knowing that I have a sister, and her and Valenti are getting pretty tight too. I’m having fun playing big brother, threatening to blow him up if he messes with my sister and all that.”<br>“You better watch it, Michael. Kyle’s probably going to start developing powers too. He may be able to blow you up if you don’t watch out.”<br>“I know that, and you know that, but Valenti hasn’t realized it yet.” The two friends laughed together for a moment, before becoming serious once again.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You round everybody up,” said Max. “I’ll go pick up some take out. How does Chinese sound this time?”<br>“Yeah, and the spicier, the better,” said Michael. “Alex added an entire bottle of jalapeno’s to his ice cream sundae today at the CrashDown. He said he was really craving spicy food after his meeting with Tess.”<br>“Great,” said Max. “Another side effect of her mind warps. Okay, I’ll get a double order of General Gau’s Chicken.” He watched as Michael climbed out the window and jumped onto his bike. Max picked up the drawing off the bed, and stared at it with a sense of foreboding. He folded it up, and slipped it into his back pocket, grabbed the keys to his Jeep and headed out of the house.<br> <p><center><span style="font-family:comic sans ms; color:yellow;font-size:medium;"><a href="http://pub129.ezboard.com/fmajiklmoonsr ...

THis was an EXCELLENT part. I think there is a lot of forshadowing here. I may be way off base, but I'm thinking that Max's slip with killing instead of kissing may mean something later on! <p></p><i></i>

She hunkered down on the floor of the back seat and waited. The minutes dragged on interminably. After what seemed like an eternity, she heard the car door open. The driver climbed in, placed some packages on the passenger seat, slammed the door and started the vehicle. The car drove down the street, stopping occasionally for what Liz could only assume were red lights. Suddenly, the car swerved sharply. Liz muffled a gasp as her weight shifted and she banged her head against the back of the passenger seat.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Liz heard the brakes squeal as the vehicle came to a sudden stop. <br>“Alright,” said the voice from the front seat. “Get the hell out of my car before I kill you. Liz felt a hand reach back and grab her roughly and pull her from the back of the car. The driver reached his arm back and prepared to punch her when he realized whom he held.<br>“Liz?” Max asked, incredulously.<br>“Sorry,” said Liz, with a small laugh. “I couldn’t resist when I saw your Jeep parked outside of Senor Chow’s. It seems like we never get any time alone lately, and so I saw an opportunity, and I grabbed it. Besides, I’ve had this feeling all afternoon that you were really upset. I wanted to see you for myself and find out if you were okay.”<br>“I’m fine,” said Max, pulling Liz to him so he could kiss her. <br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Several minutes passed as Liz and Max kissed passionately in the front seat of his Jeep. Liz leaned into Max and deepened the kiss. Her tongue slowly crept into his mouth, thrusting seductively back and forth. She withdrew her tongue and bit his lower lip lightly. Max groaned with desire and kissed her deeper. As he did, the images he received when he kissed Tess transmitted themselves to Liz’s open mind.<br>“Oh my God, Max. What was that?” she cried, ending their embrace.<br>“Damn,” swore Max, softly. “I didn’t mean for you to see those.”<br>“But Michael, Isabelle, God Max, are they okay. We have to do something. We have to find them!” Liz cried frantically.<br>“Liz, relax,” said Max, holding her down. “It wasn’t them.”<br>“But I saw them, it was them. Michael, he’s dead, and Isabelle, my God, she’s better off if she’s dead.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Liz, it isn’t them. It’s not Michael and Isabelle. You’re seeing Rath and Vilondra. It’s how they died on Antar, or at least I think it is, anyhow. That’s what this meeting tonight is about.”<br>“What’s going on, Max? I’m afraid,” said Liz, her face white.<br>“Tess came by for a surprise visit today,” began Max. “She wanted a <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>favor</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. She tried using her powers on me to convince me to give her the book. After I agreed, she kissed me. The first thing I saw was the images she had created in my head of Antar, Jell-o beach, green sky, the works. But then, I began to see other things. They were horrible.”<br>“Max, don’t, you don’t have to tell me what you saw,” said Liz. “I saw it too.<br>Max smiled at Liz, her thoughtfulness making him love her all the more, but he wasn’t able to suppress the images that filled his brain. Swallowing deeply, he continued his story.<br>“After I got rid of her, Michael showed up. I was able to let him see the visions, and he sketched them out. We’re going to show them to Ava tonight to see if she recognizes anything.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Liz dropped her head into her hands and rubbed her face wearily.<br>“We have to stop her Max. We can’t let her take over our lives like this any more.”<br>“I know, Liz, I know. Right now, we have to go with what we have, and that isn’t much.”<br>“Well, then, let’s get this food to Michael’s and start brainstorming,” said Liz. <br>“You know,” said Max, looking at Liz reflectively. “I picked up the food kind of early. I was just going to hang out at Michael’s, so we have some time to kill.”<br>“Oh, so we could, oh, maybe take a ride out to say the quarry or something?” said Liz, suggestively.<br>“Yeah,” said Max. “Or something.” He turned the key in the ignition, and the Jeep roared to life. He checked quickly to make sure there was no traffic and he pulled the Jeep out onto the road. Fifteen minutes later, Max pulled the Jeep off of the road and parked it behind a large outcropping of rocks. Taking Liz by the hand, he led her up a small incline. He paused for a moment, and passed his hand over one of the rocks, and a glowing handprint was revealed, and a door slid open to admit them to a hidden chamber. <br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Here Max?” Liz asked, questioningly. “Are you sure?”<br>“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life, Liz. This is where my life began, and it almost ended, thanks to Tess and her stupid mind warps. If we hadn’t found out the truth, we all would have gone on believing that Tess and I were destined to be together. I want to be with you here.” Liz said nothing; she simply took Max’s hand and pulled him to the ground. The couple made love passionately, but with a desperation as well. Max was desperate to erase the images he had seen earlier, and Liz was desperate to keep him safe.<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Max, that was incredible,” said Liz, her breath coming in short gasps. “I mean, the last time was incredible, as well, but this was a different kind of incredible. I feel so alive inside. It’s like I can feel you inside my cells, moving around.” Max propped himself up on one elbow and played with a strand of Liz’s hair.<br>“Do you think it has to do with the changes from my healing you?”<br>“I don’t know, and I don’t care,” said Liz, a blissful smile on her face. “This is the most wonderful feeling I have ever had, and I don’t want it to end.”<br>“You’re what’s wonderful,” said Max, kissing her on the nose. “I wish we could just stay here, forever. Locked away from the rest of the world.”<br>“We’d get pretty hungry if we were locked in here forever,” said Liz, playing along.<br>“We have Chinese food out in the car. We can live on Alex’s double order of General Gau’s chicken.”<br>“Alex!” cried Liz, while at the same time Max said “Chinese food!”<br>“Oh God! How long have we been here?” asked Liz, scrambling into her clothes.<br>“Only a couple of hours,” said Max. “We’re not too late. If we hurry, we should be able to get there before they all start freaking out completely.”<br><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The couple quickly left the pod chamber and climbed into the Jeep. On the outskirts of town, Liz climbed into the back seat and hunkered down on the floor again in case Tess was around anywhere. She shifted position, trying to find a comfortable place to sit, while holding the bags of now cold Chinese food on her lap. Outside of Michael’s apartment, Max looked around to make sure they were unobserved. He opened the Jeep door and allowed Liz, still holding the bags of food to rush up the steps to Michael’s apartment. She knocked on the door and walked in, followed by Max.<br>“Hi,” she said to the room in general. “Sorry we’re late, we got held up.”<br>“Don’t worry,” said Michael, reaching for the bags of food. “Man, this smells great, and it’s still hot too, good!”<br> <p><center><span style="font-family:comic sans ms; color:yellow;font-size:medium;"><a href="http://pub129.ezboard.com/fmajiklmoonsr ...

And, I think you are nuts to even consider it, Max. You want to give her the book? You’re insane!” Finished speaking, Alex shoveled several heaping spoonfuls of General Gau’s Chicken on his plate. <br>“What?” he asked as everyone stared at him, in shocked silence. “I’m hungry. Hey, you know what would go good with this, some chocolate syrup. Do you have any Michael?”<br><br>        “Uh, I’ll get it,” said Maria, rising quickly and heading towards the kitchen, Michael hot on her heels.<br>“Man, what is wrong with Alex tonight?” asked Michael after he reached the relative quiet of the kitchen.<br>“Don’t you get it?” demanded Maria, her eyes filling up with tears. “That bitch is getting to him, despite the platinum ring he’s wearing. It’s starting to affect him. This has to stop, Michael, and it has to stop now, before Alex gets any worse. If you don’t stop it, I will. I don’t care if I have to kill the stupid bitch to do it!”<br><br>        “That’s enough, Maria,” said Alex, from the doorway. “You’re not going to kill anybody. You can’t even kill the ants when we go on a picnic,” he added with a snort.<br>“Yeah, well, Tess is lower on the evolutionary scale than an ant,” grumbled Maria, wiping her tear-streaked face. “I could happily kill her for what she’s doing to you.”<br>“She’s not doing anything to me Maria,” said Alex, reaching for the chocolate syrup he spied on the counter. “Okay,” he amended, “She’s messing up my taste buds, but other than that, I’m fine.”<br>“But, you just exploded at Max in there,” said Maria. “That is so not like you.”<br>“Maria, that was very much like me. Especially if you take into consideration the fact that I haven’t slept more than 2 hours in the past two days. Kyle, Ava, Isabelle and I worked on the dupes book last night. I had just barely gone to bed when Tess called to set up our little breakfast tête-à-tête. I’m working on no sleep here, Maria. That’s all, I promise.”<br>“Are you sure?”<br>“Yes, Maria, I’m sure,” said Alex, raising his eyebrow as he spoke. “No sleep, that’s all. Now why don’t you go out into the other room? Max has something important he wants to tell us.”<br><br>        Maria looked at Alex, her confusion apparent as she turned and left the room. Alex started to follow her when Michael reached out and grabbed his arm.<br>“Are you sure your okay?” he asked. “Cause Maria will totally freak if anything happens to you because of us.”<br>“Just Maria?” asked Alex, an amused expression on his face.<br>“Well, Liz and Isabelle too,” said Michael, squirming a little. Alex said nothing. He just stared at Michael, one eyebrow raised. Michael grimaced, and shook his head slightly.<br>“Fine,” he groused. “You want to make me say it, I’ll say it. We’ll all fall apart if anything happens to you.” Michael pushed past Alex and walked into the living room, his face suffused with color.<br>“Interesting,” said Alex, softly to the empty room. “Maria never gives up on anything that easily, but she stopped going on and on as soon as I thought it. And Michael would never in a million years admit that he cared about any of us, yet he just did, as soon as I pushed him. He said exactly what I wanted him to say. I wonder what it means?” Alex started to walk back to the living room, and stopped and reached back for the chocolate syrup and then headed back into the living room.<br><br>        “Houston, we have a problem,” he deadpanned as he walked in the room.<br>“What’s wrong, Alex?” asked Isabelle, her face a mask of concern.<br>“I don’t know if wrong is exactly the word I would choose, but it is something,” said Alex.<br>“Well what is it?” demanded Max, impatiently.<br>“Max, don’t you feel like standing on the coffee table and singing, “What’s New Pussycat?” asked Alex.<br>“Alex, what the hell are you talking about?” asked Max. “It’s not like this is the best time in the world for fun and games. Alex just smiled, and gave a small shove with his mind, his eyebrow raising as he concentrated. Suddenly, Max stood up, and climbed up onto Michael’s dilapidated coffee table and began to sing the old Tom Jones standard.<br><br>        “Alex, my God, what did you do to him?” cried Liz as she tried to get Max to get off the table, which groaned alarmingly under his weight.<br>“Max, you can stop now,” said Alex, his face wet with perspiration. As quickly as he had begun, Max stopped singing and climbed down off of the coffee table.<br>“You can mind warp,” he said, flatly. “Since when?”<br>“Since just now,” said Alex. “It started in the kitchen. “I got Maria to lay off of me, and I got Michael,” he paused, seeing the look of anger on Michael’s face. “Well, I got Michael to say something he usually wouldn’t,” said Alex. “Both of those things could have been a coincidence, so I figured I’d try something to totally weird, just to be certain. I’m sorry Max,” he added with a chuckle. “But if I were you, I wouldn’t quit your day job.”<br><br>        “Well at least nobody else is showing any signs of developing powers,” said Isabelle. Kyle, what about you, any powers yet?”<br>“Nope,” said Kyle. “I’m clean. For now,” he added in a whisper.<br>“Maria, how about you?” asked Michael.<br>“Nothing that I know of, but if I’m going to have powers, can I blow stuff up, like Tess maybe?” asked Maria.<br>“Great,” said Isabelle, so all we have is this new trick of Alex. Liz did contact Max that time,” she added, “But I don’t thing that counts, I think that was more of a love thing than a power thing.”<br>“Don’t be too sure,” said Liz, passing her hand over Isabelle’s plate of congealed Chinese food. Steam began to rise from the food as Liz looked bleakly up at the others.<br><br> <p><center><span style="font-family:comic sans ms; color:yellow;font-size:medium;"><a href="http://pub129.ezboard.com/fmajiklmoonsr ...
