Candy woke up with a start. She bolted upright on her bed. Oh, it was just a dream, she thought relieved. It was more like a nightmare. The same one she'd been having. People crumpling in pain. Candy got out of bed, showered, and changed. All before 8:30. She was wearing a red satin tight fitting tank top, a grey form fitting vest, a black pleated mini skirt, and the black soft leather boots she wore yesterday. Today her hair was up in a high pony tail. When she finished getting ready, Kayla was just getting up. Kayla quickly got ready while Candy packed her stuff. She wore dark blue sweatpants, a white track t-shirt, and sneakers. As always her hair was in a ponytail.

"You do know that we are going in public today, right?" asked Candy when she saw what Kayla was wearing.

"Yeah, why?" asked Kayla confused.

"Well, you are wearing clothes that I wouldn't want anyone to see me in," Candy explained.

"Oh, well, this is comfy and that's all that matters to me," Kayla replied a little on the defensive side.

"Okay, Kayla. One of these days I am going to give you a makeover," Candy said excitedly. Candy noticed Kayla wary look, and smiled to herself. Kayla got her things ready and since it was already 9 o'clock, they headed toward the van. Everyone was already there. Ben was wearing a rock band tee shirt, slightly tight fitting jeans, and worn red chucks. His hair was perfectly messy. He smiled as Kayla walked toward them. Jake was wearing a dark brown tee shirt, paint splattered jeans, and sneakers. His dark hair was barely brushing his shoulders. He also smiled as Kayla came over. She smiled at both at them. Ben noticed Kayla smiling at Jake too and slightly narrowed his eyes. Candy notices all this and thought, This might get interesting. Nadia was wearing a forest green form-fitting tank top, skinny jeans, and moccasin. She had her long hair down with a silver headband. She greeted both Kayla and Candy and was looking confident and determined as usual. Jazz was wearing black shorts with neon purple leggings, a white v-neck tee shirt, her neon green chucks and neon green bandana. The end of her pixie-like hair was sticking out of the bandana. She also greeted Kayla and Candy and she was looking a little nervous but excited. After everyone greeted each other Nadia told everyone to get in the van. It was a little crowded in there. Nadia was in the driver's seat, of course, Jake called shotgun, Kayla and Jazz were in the middle and Ben and Candy were sitting on the mattress in the back.

"Okay, now listen up everyone. We are now going to go to Seattle, Washington. It will takes about three days to get there, so I was thinking we should take a plane there. What do you guys think? Sound good? Okay, good." Nadia said without anyone even saying anything.

"Wait, why are we going o Seattle?" asked Jake.

Jazz answered,

"Our mom lives there."

"Oh, but would that be the first place TAMU would look in?" Jake asked.

"Well, yeah. If they could find where she lives and that she is our mom." Jazz answered while Nadia face went emotionless.

"What do you mean?" Ben asked carefully as if he wasn't sure if he should ask this.

"Listen, guys, here's the thing. My mom left us 3 years ago. She changed her last name because she married someone else. I don't know who. She covered her tracks well. Really well. It took me two years to find out where she was. And even finding her was sort of just luck. I haven't had the courage to go there alone so this will be the first time we see her in 3 years," Jazz answered a little sadness creeping into her voice at the last sentence.

Nadia's face still didn't display any emotion. Everyone stayed silent for a minute. Until Candy couldn't take it anymore. She hated awkward silence. So she broke it by saying,

"So, your mom does she have a power?"

Jazz composed herself and replied,

"No. I don't think she even knew about my dad having powers and all that."

"Are you sure that she is going to let four strangers live with her?"asked Jake a little skeptically. "Yes. She owes us." Nadia replied.

"How are we supposed to get on airplanes, if we a supposed to be lying low?"Candy asked.

"That is going to take some teamwork. First, we are going to have to make fake documents. A group of six is too noticeable, so we will split into three groups. One of three, one of two, and then a single person. If no one wants to go alone, I will," Nadia explained the plan.

"No, I will go. I mean, I'm not being hinted so that would be the safest, right?" Ben spoke up. "Okay. That would be the wisest choice. Then the group of three will be Kayla, Candy, and Jazz. Jake and I will be the group of two. Jazz, do you think you can come up worth the fake documents?"

"Umm, I can make them on the computer but I haven't got the right the printers and stuff for them to actually look real."

"I can help with that," Kayla said and explained her power to everyone.

Nadia half-smiled.

"Well, I'm glad you are here. You'll be a lot of help. Okay, here is the plan. Kayla, you will make all the fake doc and stuff. When we pass through security and check-in Jazz will control the computers. Jake and I will go through first. Then after a little while Ben will go. Then Jazz, Candy, and Kayla. We will all go on the same flight. Once we get on the plane it's about a four hour flight to Seattle."

"Wait, what about the van?" asked Jake.

"Oh. Don't worry about it. I'm handling it." Nadia said. Candy wondered how. She hoped their plan would work. If they got caught, they would have to explain more things that she wished to explain. If they told the truth, they'd be sent to the nuthouse for sure. Candy just wished everything was back to normal.
