Chapter 5

"It read, "May all your wishes and desires come true. All you have to do is believe and concentrate. You can make it happen. The letters on the card where like a glittery gold. But after I read all the words, the letters turned to brown. I must have gotten my powers then. Then I later found out that it was the Ellimist who gave me this card. He told me himself. He never told me about you or The Animorphs, but I read his mind..." After I finished my little explanation, Jake shook his head in disbelief. "You expect me to believe that? The Ellimist did this?" He said. I sent him the images. I sent him the feelings I had on that Easter morning. Mixed feelings of disbelief, perplexity, amazement. The images were fast to him. That's how I intended it to be. My "show and tell" was over in about a second.
"Whoa!" Jake yelped, feeling very surprised. He then looked directly at me again. I read his thoughts of surprise, and excitement. "Okay," he said, knowing what he had seen and felt from me. "Like you said, your story is unbelievable."
I smiled. All according to plan. Yes! Am I a wild guesser or what?! I thought to myself without Jake knowing of it. This was going to be too easy. Jake will let me in ok, in which I had thought before I took him here to the Purple Cube. I still was not sure about the others. See, that's why I "captured" Jake only. Sure he would ask a bunch of questions. I was prepared for that.
"I guess there's more show and tell involved," I said, always smiling. Too easy. Before Jake said another word, I did a quick back flip off the leather couch and ran up one of the Purple Cube's walls. I stood upside-down on the ceiling with my hair dangling from my hair. I waved to him from where I was. "Still in disbelief?" Jake shouted in amazement, "Wow, that was so cool! How can you do that?!" I laughed again. Too. Easy. "It's like you and morphing," I began to explain. "When I want to do something, as in almost anything I want to in my case, I use brain power to get myself going in the action I want to take. Let's just say that I'm more advanced than the Andalite morphing technology is." I let myself back to the floor with ease as Jake continued to gawk at me. I stifled another laugh as I said, "What I did was basically nothing to me. One of the abilities that I call basic myself. My agility." Jake didn't answer, he was still baffled.
Well I could imagine it if I was in his shoes. I could feel the wheels turning in his head of the sheer amazement of it. Was he thinking what I thought he was thinking?
