~Chapter 5~
*~*~*~*~*~*~
We had a nice, quiet, and relaxing Sunday so that we could formulate the last of our plans to steal the Bob-stic and so that we could rest a little. Tamitha kept herself busy by borrowing a pair of Cassie's old jeans and helped her out in the barn. While she did that I got a chance to check out some of the books that Tamitha bought on Saturday when she went shopping with Rachel.
I was fairly surprised at the wide selection of books that she bought. I found copies of the novelized versions of "X-Men" and "X-Men 2: X-Men United," as well as "Night Sky." She also had "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, which was a fairly old book, but the oldest book and the one that surprised me the most was a fairly well read copy of "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. I am not sure why it surprised me, it shouldn't have surprised me, because I had only met Tamitha a couple of weeks ago, but it did. Judging by the state of all of these books, Tamitha had dragged Rachel into a used book store, which made me laugh, it was hard to imagine Rachel in one of those stores.
Tamitha also bought a few journals, as she told me she would, I was slightly curious as to whether she had written in them yet, but decided to wait until she returned to find out.
As I shuffled through some of her other things I came across a small box. I opened it to find various types of X-Men comics, a deck of cards, a flash light, small stack of bird books, a book called, "14,000 Things to be Happy About," a CD player, and a small stack of CD's. I looked at the box more closely and realized that Tamitha had obviously gone home to get all of this stuff, boy was she tempting fate. That was something that I would have to talk to her about later, along with about a million other things.
All seven of us met up in the afternoon to discuss what had happened with Tamitha at the digging site yesterday.
"So, basically," Marco began, "you are saying that you think that we all have the possibility to communicate telepathically to eachother even when we are not in a morph?" Tamitha nodded.
"Yeah, why wouldn't we? Besides, how do you explain what I did earlier if that's not the answer?"
"She does have a point," Cassie said. "What harm could there be in trying this out?"
"All right," Jake said with a sigh, "we try this, it could potentially be of some use to us," he looked at Marco with a grin on his face.
Rachel shook her head sadly, "if this works Marco won't have to worry about his grades much any more and neither will Jake, as long as one of them studies."
~Okay, let's get this show on the road,~ I suggested from my perch in the rafters. ~Tamitha, would you like to demonstrate to the others first?~
~What's there to demonstrate?~ she asked, ~it's all in your head.~
~Can you hear me now?~ Marco asked. Everybody nodded. ~Cool,~ he commented.
~Hell, if Marco can do it,~ Rachel commented. ~With the small amount of bra- ~
~Well it really isn't that hard,~ Cassie interrupted.
~Hey, Ax, do you think that we have the same type of range now as we would in morph?~
~I am not sure Prince Jake,~ he replied, ~this is new territory for me as it is for yourselves.~
~So,~ Rachel prompted.
~So we might as well try this out,~ Jake concluded.
We sort of played around with their new found abilities for an hour or two. We found out that they had the same general range as they would in morph, which is a good thing.
Afterwards Tamitha went back to working in the barn with Cassie. As everyone headed home and Ax and I went to the forest, Tamitha telepathically shouted out to me that she was going to have dinner with Cassie's parents and would bring some back with her after wards.
When Tamitha did come back to the scoop in the evening, pockets full of food, I morphed into my human form and sat down on Ax's sofa in front of the TV with Tamitha and ate dinner.
"So you went back to our old house yesterday, huh?"
"You found my stuff, didn't you?" she replied, "you didn't look in any of the journals did you?" she asked, very defensively.
"No, not yet. I decided that I should ask you first. You like to read a lot, don't you?"
"Yeah, I enjoy losing myself in books, it's kind of a safe place for me to hide."
"What kind of stuff do you write? I noticed you have lots of journals."
"Just little stuff, fan-fictions, poems, stuff like that. I was thinking about starting my own story though."
"You like X-Men?"
She blushed, "yeah. Something wrong with that?"
"No, just kinda interesting. I always thought that mostly guys liked that kind of stuff."
"Mostly, you just said it. I'm part of that 'rarely' group of females who does enjoy X-Men comics."
"All right, I'm headed off to bed. Thanks for the food. Wake me up if you need anything."
"Sleep well, Tobias. Are we doing anything tomorrow?"
~Probably just going to meet up when the others are out of school. 'Night.~
