Class was awkward, but you know what? LIFE is AWKWARD.

It was coming up to lunchtime and I struggled to write the correct answers to the test.

C'mon, Brittany, I begged her in my head, You must know the answers!

Yes, I do, She thought back in a giggle, But if I told you them, that'd be CHEATING, She sang through my mind.

I growled and tried my best to answer correctly. Just as I was halfway through the exam Miss Smith shouted to the class.

"Okay. Times up."

My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open.

"Miss Smith, I-"

"Don't say a word, Alvin." She told me with a serious annoyed deadpanning face, "Just give me your test."

"BUT!"

She snatched it off me, and it was then I realized that I had written the wrong name on it. Brittany's name was written loud and proud and in pink ink on the top of the test. It was then that the image of her name in golden writing fluttered through my head.

"Brittany..." I murmured to myself and she replied confused.

What?

"I think..." I said, realizing something that would change everything, "I think... I actually THINK I know how to... how to..."

How to what?

"How to set... you free..."

She swallowed in my throat, and seemed a bit timid, asking almost afraid, how, Alvin...?

The bell rang suddenly for the class to leave for lunch and I quickly came over to Simon, who seemed to have cooled off a bit from his anger from earlier.

"Simon, Si-!" I said to him, running over and pulling him to face me.

"What, Alvitanny..." He replied back nastily and I made a fake.

"Oh haha,"

"What."

"I think I know how to separate me and Brittany."

"Not without my help," He said, smirking as if he was the only one brainy enough to figure out a solution to our problem.

"Yes! In fact! BECAUSE of your help!"

"Huh?" He said, slightly confused and arching one eyebrow up lost, "What are you talking about, Alvin?"

"I think..." I said to him, swinging my arm around his shoulder and pulling him close as if what I said was a secret, "I think I found the answer."

Simon's face was empty, apathetic and stone cold.

"I'll show you..." I said to him and pointed to the world outside the class glass windows, "Come with me."

It was only minutes later that I stood outside in the yard of the school grounds, many young teenagers gathering around me and Simon to see what all the fuss and news was about.

"You see this crowd?" I told Simon, slapping his back and making him trip forward slightly, "They came because they believe in me."

"No," Simon told me harshly, folding his arms and rolling his eyes, "They came to see you fail."

"Tomato, ToMAto," I replied, not really understanding the difference.

"Now, you're sure this will work, right Alvin?" He made me swear and I waved his question away with my hand.

"I'm positive... in fact..." I continued, winking at him and standing apart from the crowd which made a half semi-circle around the back of me, "...I'm negative."

"Huh?" Simon questioned confused.

It was then I said to Brittany who was freaking out in my mind, "Ready for this, babe?"

BABE?! She squeaked, hearing that new pet name I had never giving her before, You... you think I'm a babe?

I chuckled, seeming to have relaxed her with my compliment. I finally heard her reply, seeming more self-confident in herself.

I was born ready for this.

Weird thing to be born for? BUT, anyway, I pointed my hands out to the open space before me, and closed my eyes. The gloves started to light up around my fingers as I suddenly remembered the advice and instruction Simon had given me.

If you think of the thing, the power you want to use, it will shoot it through the gloves.

Okay, slightly power-phrasing, but I knew his words were true.

I suddenly shouted out loud.

"BRITTANY!"

In my mind, my brain was told to think of her as if like a power.

BRITTANY! I screamed through my thoughts and suddenly pink electric energy bounced out of my metallic fingertips.

Everyone gasped when they realized what they were seeing.

Right in front of us, was a pink electric figure of a small girl, a Chipette, glowing brightly and receiving my energy.

My electric energy I had gotten from Simon's science fair experiment.

"This is amazing!" Simon cooed, and came nearer to me, adding, "Keep going! She needs all her electric energy to become full."

"Y-yes!" I shouted, but deep down I was in horrific pain. I watched as the electricity drained out of me, and she began to glow brighter and brighter with a deep white light in her centre.

I nearly fell forward on my knees in exhaustion, but then the last pink spark left, and she started to become solid.

But it was then, so strangely, that I began to be drained of a different type of energy... my life energy.

"Keep going!" Simon shouted at me, "She needs all your energy!"

"If I give all my energy, Simon," I said, feeling weakened as my legs fell to the ground in a pained kneeling position, "I'll die!"

"No. You. Weren't."

I looked at my brother as he came over to me and touched my back. Suddenly I felt his life energy being sucked into me by my gloves and watched as blue and red electricity poured out from the gloves. But it was not enough.

Brittany was only half solid and I knew that if we stopped now, she would explode and... and... die.

Suddenly I felt more hands touching me, and I glanced behind me, seeing the teenagers all gathering to me, pressing me with their hands and giving me their life energy.

"THIS IS IT!" I yelled and looked up at Brittany as she became completely solid. Her body seemed to be reforming and soon the light was sucked into her... forming into blood and lungs and a brain and a heart.

Skin suddenly poured down from her upper half, covering her completely. Within moments she was fully formed... naked, but fully there.

Suddenly the electricity flickered out its last spark and my gloves unclasped themselves, dropping to the ground... like they had finally completed their full purpose.

Everyone cheered, but I felt so weak and saw Brittany smile at me in tears as she called.

"Alvin! You did it!"

Brittany bounced about in delight, someone handing her a small towel. She didn't realize why until she looked down to her exposed body and went red in the face, whipping the towel around her, before she came over to me with a shy smile.

"You... you saved me."

"Of course... I... did..." I said, panting heavily and feeling faint, "I... I love... I love..."

"Who, Alvin?" She asked me, sparkles in her eyes, "Tell me who you love..."

I smiled weakly at her, holding my finger up... within one second I fainted.

Everything was dark... everything... besides a light.
