Disclaimer's: I DO NOT OWN JONNY QUEST!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I woke up from my nap at... 4:00 PM. Great, the whole day gone! Oh well, I deserve a good nap and I got 1. Now to find my way to wherever everyone else happened to be. This shouldn't be too hard. This place was nowhere near as big as the other places we had stayed.

I walked out the door and discovered that 1 thing was the same no matter where we went. There was a guard outside my bedroom door, who, as it turned out, was there to show to where everyone was. Go figure...

The guard's name was Ryan and he took me to the family room where Jonny and Katie were playing Nintendo® and Hadji was (big surprise) meditating. I sat down next to him and closed my eyes.

Jonny grabbed my shoulder, "Uh-uh, no way, babes. You are not meditating until you get that power of yours under control."

"Power?" Katie asked, confused.

"I have to meditate to find out how to control it!" I snapped, "This time, if you don't want something to happen, don't annoy me while I'm doing this!"

"Geez, I was only saying," Jonny said, "Maybe you need to take a longer nap!"

"Power?" Katie repeated.

"Maybe you need to stop messing around with my business and leave me alone!" I said, and closed my eyes again.

I could feel Hadji in the corner of my mind and tried to reach him, Hadji?

Yes? he asked.

Am I really talking to you? I asked.

Open your eyes, he said.

I'll lose focus!

No, you won't. Open your eyes.

I opened my eyes and saw bright colors, What's going on?

You're on the astral plane, he said, If you could hear me, that's where you were and it's impossible to leave without wanting to. You won't lose focus.

Can you show me how to control this power? I asked.

I don't know, he said, It's usually up to you. I can only guide you.

Then guide me! I said.

I don't know where to take you, he said, I do not have this power. Not many people do. I can talk to some animals, but never have they been influenced by me or befriended me. That is their choice. You asked and they answered. It is a rare gift.

I can't control it! I said, And it's not just animals! I moved the rocks, too, if what you thought was true!

That I can help you with, but you've already mastered it, he said, I can't help you anymore than I have.

What do you mean, I've mastered it? I asked.

Most people discover their powers before learning to meditate, he said, Meditation, using your powers when you sink into the trance of meditation, is the only way to learn control. You discovered your powers in meditation, therefore can control them at will now. Try.

Try what?

Try to do something, not animals this time. Something easy. Move something.

How? I asked.

Envision the object doing what you wish it to do, he said, As you do that, reach out with the part of you that controls the animals. I say that because you can already summon the animals at will. You know your control. Use it.

I envisioned the TV. If I could move it so that it faced me instead of Jonny and Katie...

I filled my mind with the picture and reached out. Nothing happened. Or at least, I couldn't feel anything happen, Hadji?

Maybe reaching out was not the best way to put it, he said, Picture what you want and let yourself have it.

I pictured the TV turning towards me. Turning... towards... me! There!

How do I get out of here to see if it worked? I asked.

Let go with your mind. I'll come too, he said.

I let go and opened my eyes again. Jonny was moving the TV back to where it had been. Instead of it simply turning, I had moved it halfway across the room until it was right next to me! Oops...

"Sorry" I said, "I guess I got a little carried away."

Hadji smiled a me, "Move it back."

"Do I have to go back into the astral plane?" I asked.

"No," he said, "That was just to prove a point. Want it and let yourself have it."

I pictured the TV moving back to it's original position and watched the TV slide across the floor "Ha, Jonathan Quest! I can control it!"

Jonny gave me a look and said, "You could've found a slightly less obvious way to do it."

"Hello?" Katie said, "What's going on?"

"Oh, Cayla has powers," Jonny said, "She can move things and talk to animals. No big deal."

I smacked him, "Should I throw some more rocks at you to make a point?"

"No!"

"Then shut up!" I yelled.

"Make me!"

"OK," I said, "I will."

"Wait," he said, "I didn't mean it!"

Too late...

We all watched as Jonny rose from the ground and was suspended in midair. This was hard to do, though.

"You're heavy," I said.

"Then put me down!" he yelled.

"Not a chance," I said, "When it gets to be too much for me to take, I'll just let you drop down on your butt." I grinned.

Jonny did the only thing possible in his situation, "RACE!"

Race came running into the room, "What?" He saw Jonny suspended from midair and stopped short. Then, he grinned "What did you do to her this time, Jonny?"

"He was being a jerk," I said.

"Well, I'm not the 1 suspending her boyfriend from midair," he said, "I think that makes you a jerk."

"You're right," I said, "I'll put you down."

"That's a good idea," Katie said, "The guards would have a hard time believing this. So would my parents."

"Put him down," Race said.

"Fine," I said, walking out of the room. I let go with my mind and was happy to hear the crash of him hitting the floor and a loud OW! afterwards...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well, as much fun as dropping Jonny on his derriere was, Race and Dr. Quest had forbidden me to do that (or to use my powers for that purpose ever again) and if I did, I was grounded. What are they going to take away? There's nothing to do, really. Well, I don't want to be grounded in Australia. We're going scuba diving and to the Zoo. I'll be grounded later...

Needless to say, Jonny isn't making me too mad anymore. Neither is anyone else. They seem to know what's good for them. I wonder if they tried to ground me and I picked them up or sent birds after them or something, would they not ground me, or ground me longer? I don't think I want to find out...

Sorry, that was short and kinda pointless, but a very devoted reviewer name Fay asked where my powers went, so I wrote a special, powers only chapter just for her. That goes to show the power of reviewing. I pay attention to them, especially if they're positive and Fay only has positive things to say. Thank you, Fay and her sister! It's nice to know someone appreciates me! Now, maybe someone else will review with ideas, too! Thanks a lot everyone who reviews.

Sidenote: Robbie, I'm sorry. I do NOT love Rishi the tiger more than you. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. You are still my sexy hot muffin... Cinnamon flavored!

Also, to everyone who thought Australia was the place to be, you were right! Thanks for that!

Katie, we still need to get the boys drunk!

Michelle, have I corrupted you with this fanfiction.net ? You're Daddy will be upset with me...

To the people mentioned above, respond to these sidenotes! Thanks! Till next time...
