It was noon now. We still hadn't found Cassidy anywhere. No where. She was just gone. We must have been a sight to see. We walked around Miami with the clothes we wore last night on. Apparently Cassidy's parents saw us all crashed outside last night and thought nothing of it. They were a bit surprised when they saw Dallas. They didn't see him before. They also called our parents and let them know we were alright and had crashed a the house. Dallas pretended to be Cassidy to make sure her parents didn't catch on that something was wrong. They headed out that morning at about 7 AM.
Trish had figured out her power in this time. She could breath fire. Honestly I have known her for only a day and I already know that this is a very fitting power for her. I mean come on, she got into fights with everyone. Except for me. She looks out for me. Well at least she has in the little time I have known her. She tries to protect me from Austin's flirting. I think she thinks to good for that. No, I don't have a huge ego, that's almost exactly what she said to me. But I think we are going to be good friends.
The guys reaction to Trish's new power was to laugh, saying it was so fitting. She looked at them angrily. That's when I stepped in.
"You guys do realize that with her new powers she can hurt you more, right?" That shut them up very quickly. They looked terrified. It was our turn to laugh at them. We were doubled over laughing.
"You should see your faces right now!" Trish spoke through fits of laughing.
Now we had just about given up on finding Cassidy when Dez found his power. We were walking around Miami getting pretty hopeless. Dallas thought of one more spot she could be. Melody Dinner. Actually, it was pretty dumb of us not to check there first. She worked there for goodness sakes!
As we walked in we were confronted by Mindy. She was complaining on how Cassidy didn't turn up for work today. We then told her that we were looking for her too. Her attention then turned to Dez
"Hey Dezy-Roo" She said trying to be seductive. Dez looked frightened.
"Hey look over there!" He shouted pointing in some random direction. Mindy turned around. That's when we looked at Dez's arm. It had gotten longer. Much longer. Like it was now another three feet longer. Panic hit all of us. No one knew what to do. Dez quickly put his arm down, almost scrapping it against the ground.
"Ummm bye Mindy nice to see you again. We have to…paint…cat…blue!" Dez managed to say along with the worst excuse ever. But then again maybe it was something he would do. Yeah, I don't doubt that.
Mindy looked confused but whispered goodbye. Odd, she was usually screaming. We sped out of there very quickly.
"What do I do?!" Dez was freaking out walking back and forth, looking a his arm and running his other hand through his ginger hair.
"Dez! Just calm down and concentrate!" Dallas yells at him. With a silent nod and a serious expression I have almost never seen on Dez, he started concentrating. His arm went back to normal length.
"Wait, so what is his power? Growth?" Austin asked confused.
"try to bend his arm backwards! Maybe be he is extremely flexible! And if he's not, it will be fun to watch!" Trish squealed. Dallas was smiling at her knowingly and she glared daggers back at him.
Dez looked very frightened. I could tell he didn't like this idea. His pacing became worse and he looked like he was about to have a melt down. Not a good sign. Especially when he doesn't see the concrete stairs.
"AHHHHHH!" It was odd. He didn't 'fall' down the stairs. No, no he bounced down the stairs. Yes, you heard me correctly. Bounced. He started on his butt and ended up doing a flip and landing on his feet. Uninjured, no pain, blood, or bruises. He didn't even seem fazed by it.
Trish and I were weirder out by this, but not Austin and Dallas. Noooo they decided to grab each side of Dez and stretch him. He stretched. Wide. It was like he was rubber.
"I'M ELASTIC!" Dez shouted. We hushed him. No one wanted to give away our secret. We did get some strange stares from passers but we ignored them.
"I wonder if I could swing from roof to roof!" Dez said in a dreamy voice. That's when it hit me.
"GUYS! WE DIDN'T CHECK HER ROOF!" I whisper/shouted. I didn't want people to over hear us.
"Crap! You're right!" Dallas said. It looked like he mentally face palmed himself, to himself.
We all sprinted over to her house. By the time we were there, we were all out of breath, except Trish. On the way over she was breathing out small flames instead of oxygen, making it harder to loose breath. Gods she was lucky.
"Guys, how are we supposed to get up there?" Austin asked. Honestly I hadn't even thought of that and frankly I had no idea. That's when Dez spoke up.
"Maybe I can get up there." He walked until he was right under the edge of the roof. Quickly he stretched up in a way that his torso was at least another six feet. It was truly amazing to watch. He then snapped his torso back to normal length when he grabbed the side of the roof, pulling himself up. Once on the roof, he extended his arm down to help us up. The reason we needed everyone's help was because Cassidy's roof was one of the roofs that have all of those nooks and crannies. Her house was quite big.
After about 5 minutes of looking I saw something. A shoe. No, Cassidy's shoe. Cassidy was no where in sight.
"Ally, what you got there?" Dallas asked walking over to me. I was holding her shoe like it was the last thing on the planet that could stop a zombie during a zombie apocalypse. Wow I've spent too much time with Dez. My eyes were starting to water and I was getting afraid. It had been hours since we started our search for Cassidy.
Dallas looked at me right in the eyes and out his hand on my shoulder. "we will find her don't worry. She will be okay" he said bringing me into a hug. I think he was trying to convince himself more then me.
When we pulled away from our hug I was bombarded by another hug. Austin. This felt different from my hug with Dallas. There were little shots of electricity going through my body where ever he and I were touching, but it didn't hurt. No it felt good, inviting. Did Austin feel it too? We pulled away and I missed the warm and tingle I got from his skin. But we had more important things to worry about.
I started to hear a faint whimpering in the distance. I turned my head in the direction I heard the sound come from. It was an area we haven't searched yet. I started to run towards it. I came around the corner and saw something I wish I could unsee.
A broken and bleeding Cassidy.
Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy the story so far. I am still not positive what Austin's power will be so if you guys have any suggestions please review! Thank you!
Oh and also i don't own Melody Dinner
