Chapter 6

Best of Friends

When I hoped into his car, I was instantly curious. "Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise." He was overjoyed by my curiosity.

"Please!...Please tell me." I attempted to make a puppy-dog face.

He laughed loudly, "Nope, sorry. Can't tell you."

I huffed, crossed my arms and looked outside. Then I realized I could cheat. I looked at him, and he knew what I was thinking.

"Don't. You. Dare." He said sternly. But he smirked like I had to listen to him. Like I was the child, and he was the grownup.

"Come on! Please tell me!" I crossed my arms and looked outside.

He chuckled. "Wait and you'll see."

"You do remember that I can see the future? Right?"

"Don't please. If you do, I'll dazzle you." He grinned, hoping to dazzle me.

"Fine, I won't." I grumbled about how I wish I could dazzle him.

"So, you want to try to dazzle me?" He asked.

"Yes, I already did before." I said sternly.

"Fine." He sighed. He looked into my eyes, determined that I'll fail.

I took a deep breath and started. "Would you pretty please tell me where we are going. You would tell me, wouldn't you?" I tilted my head down and looked up from my eye lashes while I spoke. After I finished, I took a deep breath. "Well, how did I do?"

"You-uh… I-I am… Whoa…W-whoa…" He stuttered continually.

"Yes!" I exclaimed. "I did it. It feels weird right? And look! Your eyes are unfocused. Ha-ha. I should do that more often!... Are you okay?" I said quickly.

"Uhh… Yeah…" He said slowly.

I chuckled. "It helps if you close your eyes and count to ten. I tried it before." I admitted.

He did what I said, and he started speaking normally. Plus his eyes were adjusted again. "I can see why you don't want me to dazzle you. Wow."

"I know! It was really fun dazzling you. You get what you want. Now, please tell me where we're going, or I'll dazzle you again."

He groaned. "Fine, we are going to hike in a meadow."

"Oh. Ha-ha…" I sighed.

"What?" He asked.

"I. Uh. I kinda already knew that, I read the future, it just popped out of me." I admitted sheepishly.

"Oh." He said. He was in deep thought, so I didn't disrupt him.

Instead, I thought of jelly. Then I thought what flavors they're in.

Strawberry Jelly? Or is that in Jam? Grape Jelly? Eww. That sounds disgusting! It'll probably taste like that medicine… I shuddered. And I kept on listing the flavors of Jelly, until I realized I was using my hand and talking to myself. Edward was laughing loudly.

"Did I disrupt your jelly counting?" He laughed louder.

"Shut up, I had nothing else to do… And I didn't want to disrupt you so…" I said slowly. We were parked in front of a forest. "How long was I counting jelly flavors?"

He chuckled, but realized I was serious. "Uh, about an hour."

"Really? Wow… Stupid jelly…" I whispered to myself.

"Did you want me to stop you? You were smiling sometimes, and on others you shuddered and said 'Eww'. It was pretty hilarious."

I put my face in my hands. So embarrassing. I thought to myself. Then I realized that I was making a scene, so I got up out of the car. It was only 2:00, so we have about two and a half hours to hike.

"Should we start hiking?" I asked.

"Sure." Edward said. "Or do you wanna run?"

"I'll run, thank you." I replied and I ran in the forest.

So beautiful. I thought to myself. I wish I could live in the woods. I could have a pet bunny! Oh my god! But I always wanted a pet shrimp… And a cat… Oh well! I can have all of them! That'll be awesome. I kept on thinking of animal names. I had to stop thinking because we arrived.

"That was quick." I exclaimed.

"I know." Edward said.

"So… What now?"

"Picnic?" Edward suggested and shrugged.

"But you can't eat." I pointed out.

"I can, but food does nothing to me."

"When was the last time you ate something?" I asked.

"I think five-to-ten years ago, I was dared to eat dirt… But I didn't."

"Oh. Dirt isn't so bad. I was dared, and I did it. It tasted like… Dirt?" I was confused why we were talking about eating dirt.

I randomly started playing with my hands. I waved them uncontrollably around my lap as I sat on the grass. Then, I heard thunder, and a big wind came around me.

"Huh?" I said. I looked at my fingers as I imitated my fingers, as rain. And it rained. I moved my hands faster, and the sky rained harder. Then, I slowly stopped the rain, and brought the sun out. Then, for a quick second, I made it snow.

"Wow." Edward said. "How did you do that?"

"I… I don't know. It's a new power I guess. That explains the headaches." Edward stared at me, like I had to explain. "I get major headaches when I start to get a new power. It's like my brains evolving. I'm gonna make it sunny tomorrow." I said happily.

"Don't!"

"Why?" I asked.

"I can't go out in the sun."

"You'll burn?" I asked curiously. I really didn't know. "Or will you turn into a bat?"

"No." He chuckled. "My skin glitters. Like a million diamonds."

"Cool." I said casually.

"It's not 'cool'. It's the monster in me." He explained. Then he put his face in his hands.

"Sorry, but can I please make it sunny. It seems like no one has ever seen a sun before." I asked innocently.

"Fine. We all will just go hunting that day." Edward grumbled.

"Yay!" I said excitedly. I jumped on Edward and hugged him.

"Ow." He said.

"Huh?" I quickly jumped off.

"You're a little stronger than I thought." He was rubbing his shoulders.

"Oh, sorry. I was a little too excited." I was beaming that I was stronger than Edward.

"It's fine. Just something I need to get used to."

I made it sunny and sighed, lying in the grass.

"We should tell Carlisle about your power!" Edward said quickly.

He put me in his arms, and ran toward the car.

He threw me in the car, and buckled me up.

"Hey! I was enjoying the sun!" I whined.

"Carlisle should see it. Trust me."
