ears, does your throat hurt
yet?
    Alias left quickly, I wonder why? She
thought. He’s been acting weird all day-. Her thought was
cut off when she noticed Christophe staring at her.
    “Uh, what do you need Christophe?” She asked
shyly.
    “Oh nothing, sorry…it’s rude of me to stare,”
Christophe replied with a smirk. Stare if you want, she
    thought.
    “You seem concerned? About my brother I
presume?” Christophe said.
    “Yeah, how did you know?” She asked.
    “He’s weird, that’s how, want to come with me
and see what’s wrong with Alias?” Alex Interrupted.
    “Sure,” Amethyst responded.
    “You forgot I was sitting there, didn’t you?”
Alex asked laughing.
    “What, no…why did you ask that?” Amethyst
asked confused. Alex laughed again,
    “It never fails, me and Alias both have seen
that look before”. Amethyst stared at him.
    “What is it with you two and some look that I
haven’t seen. You both keep saying that.”
    She said. They were standing in front of
Alias’s door when Alex mumbled with a smirk,
    “you are so taken”.
    Knock, Knock, Alex knocked on the
door.
    “Go away,” Alias yelled from inside.
    “Open up,” Alex said calmly. Alias didn’t
answer.

    “What’s the matter?” Amethyst said through
the door and then stood back as she heard the click of a lock and
the door open.
    “Nothing’s wrong,” he said blowing some of
his hair out his eyes.
    His face is flush…and he seems not angry,
but…bothered? He’s radiating heat…to keep his reactions calm, but
why? Amethyst thought as she looked at his expression.
    “Liar,” she said while keeping her tone
light. “What’s wrong?” she asked again.
    “Um I don’t want to talk about it, not now at
least,” he said while directing his gaze at the floor. “Later,
then?” She asked with a smile.
    “Much later,” Alias mumbled.
    “I wouldn’t want to bother you-“she said
turning away.
    “Never going to happen…you have immunity,” He
said looking up at her to return the smile and then closing the
door back, without the lock.
    Amethyst looked down at Alex who had a
distressed look on his face now.
    “What is it, are you guys taking turns being
in moods or something?” Amethyst said poking him in the side. Alex
laughed,
    “No problems with me, just my brothers. Hey,
no problems with you for now either…remember, you’re a
superhero!!!!” He added while tickling her.
    “Hey no fair!!!” she said chasing Alex
through the house.
    “Hey look it’s sunny outside!!!!” Alex yelled
while still running and ran out the door in the direction of the
park.
    How did I- Alex!!! She thought quickly
realizing Alex was on the ground.
    “I’m sorry!!! I don’t know how I did that!!!”
she yelled while helping up from off the grass.
    “THAT WAS PERFECT!!!” Alex yelled.
    “Lex, did you hit your head that hard? How
was that perfect?” Amethyst asked staring at Alex with a confused
expression.
    “You phased in front of me, that’s why I was
running so fast,” Alex said.
    “What?” she asked.
    “I told you, you have powers you just don’t
know how to use them. To get you to phase I guessed that if I ran
fast enough you would figure you couldn’t out run me and focus on a
speed ahead of mine to get in front of me automatically, it
worked,” Alex explained.
    “So I thought about being in front of you
while I was running and then disappeared and reappeared in front of
you?” She said barely understanding her own sentence.
    “Exactly,” Alex said. “Can you do it again?”
Alex asked moving further back from her.
    “Um, I think so,” she said as she closed her
eyes. Focus...Focus, she thought as she felt a wave go
through her and opened her eyes again. “Eep,” she said. She was
standing dangerously close to Alex as opposed to how far away he
had been.
    “Good we can work on this,” he said
laughing.
    “What so funny?” she asked. “Eep,” He
imitated and laughed some more and then
