Amanda: See ya there!
Finn raced down the stairs as fast as lightning hollering out to his mother, "I'll be back before dinner!" His mother dashed out into the room and kissed him on the forehead and kindly said, "Have fun sweetheart." He wondered why his mother still treated him like a four year old. He said goodbye, not wanting to fight her on the topic. He hopped on his bike and rode off.
He dashed into Frozen Marble not wanting to leave Amanda waiting. Thankfully, she hadn't arrived yet. He ordered her usual for her and started thinking of why she needed to see him so badly. He hoped it wasn't another talk about Disney or Overtakers or Keepers. He wanted to have a normal conversation with Amanda and not talk about the craziness going on in their lives, not that he thought it was remotely possible to have a normal life now. He needed to think of a topic before she- he was cut off by Amanda snapping to get him out of his trance. Had he said something embarrassing out loud in front of her? He judged by her look he hadn't, yet.
"Are you okay, Finn?" she said this in such a way that made him stutter.
"F-Fine now t-that y-y-you're here." This made her giggle and that made him start to chuckle himself. He didn't want to admit it to anyone, especially Maybeck, but he had fallen for her. Hard.
"Finn, I need to talk to you." Great, he thought, she is going to break up with me before we are even an official couple. He braced himself for the worse. It turned out to be worse than he feared; it was a conversation about the keepers.
"As you know, Jess and I were born Fairlies, but not all of us are that way. A small and rare portion of Fairlies develop their abilities later on in life."
Where is this going, Amanda?" Finn said slightly rude, already done with the topic.
"Would you let me talk? As I said, not all of us are Fairlies to begin with. About a week ago, Willa emailed me saying that she woke up one morning in the air. As in, flying? Finn, are you even listening to me?"
Finn was indeed focusing, but on his ice cream and not Amanda. He looked up guiltily at her and told her that he was listening, still with his mouth full of chocolate chip cookie dough. He won a disapproving look from her and she continued on. This time she had his full attention.
"Finn, I think that Willa is becoming a Fairlie."
