"Ranma, can you go and get Selene?" Kasumi asked. "She should be in
the last room down the hall." Kasumi and Ranma were on the stairs and Ranma
went dashing up.
Ranma reached the door at the end of the hall and knocked. "Selene?" He knocked again, and got a reply.
"Door's open." Selene's voice was muffled. Slowly Ranma twisted the doorknob and saw Selene sitting a few inches off the ground. Ranma stood there; her eyes were closed and seemed to have forgotten that she had just told someone that the door was open. Selene levitated a bit higher and then hit the ceiling. "Ow!" Her hand went to rub the top of her head while she slowly descended.
"How'd you do you that?" Ranma asked from the doorway. Selene's mouth was open but didn't say anything. "I'm serious. First the ki ball and now levitating. How can you do this?" Ranma was walking further into the room.
"I guess I might as well tell you." Selene said sighing. "I have powers." She saw Ranma's confused look, and explained. "Every since I can remember I've always had some kind of 'magical', so to say, power. I know that when I was about six months old I could move objects with my mind. I couldn't move it as far as I can now since my mental capability was 'smaller' than now." Ranma's bewildering look, made Selene roll her eyes towards the sky and told him to look at the chair in the corner of the room. Slowly the chair ascended from the ground, and was hovering towards the door. The door was slightly ajar and the chair pushed it open enough so it could get out. Ranma stood up with it, Selene too. They walked into the hallway following the gliding chair. It stopped halfway down the hall when they heard footsteps. The chair went zooming back into Selene's room and the door was shut again.
A blue head of hair was walking up the stairs. Selene and Ranma stood in the middle of the hall, staring back at Selene's room. "Hey, you guys. I don't think either of you two had finished or started dinner." Akane said. "Ranma, I thought I heard Kasumi asking you to bring Selene down. You've been up here for five minutes, and now it's," She looked at the watch on her left hand. "It's 7 o'clock, right now."
"Uh..." Ranma said, looking at Selene.
"Well, I kind of asked him to wait since I doubted that I could have found my way to the living room. I just came out of the shower." She held up a bundle of clothes that seemed to have appeared in her hands when Akane came up. Ranma noticed that Selene's hair was wet and dripping. "Just give me a second while I put my clothes away." Selene retreated into her room quickly.
"Ranma." Akane was walking closer to him. Ranma was backing away trying to gain some distance from her, and hit the wall backing up. "I'm not trying to kill you. I was wondering if you saw a chair floating in the middle of the hallway a second ago." Ranma shook his head no quickly. "Oh." Akane said, and they saw Selene walk out of her room.
Akane looked at Selene for a moment and then walked away. "What was that about?" Selene was walking towards Ranma.
"I dunno. Let's go get something to eat." Ranma was guiding her downstairs and saw that the entire family was downstairs eating still. It was only a little after 7 and they had started eating around 6:45. An extra plate and chopstick was set up to where Selene saw Ranma sitting earlier. Ranma walked back to wear he was eating originally and resumed with stuffing his mouth.
"Please sit down." Kasumi said she was smiling. Selene took the only open seat, next to Ranma. Selene was aware of everyone looking at her. She didn't bother to look at them; she just lifted up the chopsticks and ate. Selene barely ate anything before she said, "That was great. My compliments to the chef." She set down her chopsticks. "Where can I put this? I'm done."
"You can just leave it on the table, I'll pick it up later." Kasumi said.
"No really, I don't want to be a hassle. Just, please, tell me where I can put this. I don't want to be this person whom everyone has to clean up afterwards."
"Well, ok." Kasumi said and told her where the kitchen was how to get there. She told Selene to leave it in the sink. Selene got up and left. "I think there might be something wrong with her. I don't think she ate today and she barely ate dinner." Ranma added that she didn't eat lunch since she was with him touring around the school.
After dinner people went back to doing what they normally did. Kasumi was organizing a few things, Nabiki was using her abacus, Akane was lifting weights in the living room, and the panda was sitting around nodding to what Soun was saying. Ranma however, was wondering where Selene went off to after she left to put her plate away. Kasumi said that she might have gone up to her room, and somehow Ranma highly doubted that. Ranma walked outside and jumped onto the roof. He saw that Selene was where she was earlier that evening. Sitting on the roof, above the bedroom area.
Ranma crept up to Selene and sat down. "Hey." Selene turned her head, and he saw the sorrow in her eyes. "What's up?" He was deliberately trying to avoid talking about the pain and sorrow that he saw within those eyes of hers. Selene shrugged her shoulders and returned to gazing at nothing. "So...Selene what other magical powers do you have?"
"Do you really want to know?" Selene asked, turning to face Ranma. He nodded his head yes, and Selene breathed out. "You know I can move objects with my mind, I can create fire out of nothing." She held out her open hand, flicked it, and a small fire appeared in the palm of her hand. It slowly went out, and no mark was left behind. "I can read people's thoughts." Selene saw Ranma expression, and said, "I don't do it without people knowing. That's unless I have a random power burst. You mind?" Ranma shook his head. Selene concentrated on Ranma and he was able to see her pupils dilate in the moonlight. Ranma's scalp felt as though millions of ants were marching across it, and digging through his skin. Slowly searching his mind for the place in which he thought.
"Wow." Ranma said as Selene returned to normal. She shut her eyes and shrugged. "Any others?"
"I can travel through time." Selene said smiling. Ranma's mouth dropped open. Selene took Ranma's hand and told him to hold on. "We're going back to the time in which we had dinner."
Ranma saw her pupils dilate again, and felt a sudden rush of cold air. Ranma could see that they were inside a white area. There was an enormous old grandfather clock in front of them. Selene jumped up to the top of the clock, where the hands moved. She walked off to the side of the clock, and pulled something open. He saw her punching in something on a keyboard that fell out, when she opened a panel. She looked up at the clock and the hands moved backwards to 7:03. Selene seemed satisfied, and jumped down to where Ranma stood. The glass door that contained the pendulum slowly opened. Selene took Ranma's hand and began running. They both jumped into the darkness of the chamber. They fell, slowly. Ranma seemed to have landed two feet away from Selene and on his butt. Selene on the other hand landed squarely on both her feet. "I told you to hold on." She whispered, lowering herself to where he sat.
"It's not my fault." He whispered back. "Where are we?"
"In front of the Tendo residence." She said examining where they had landed. "Come on." They walked inside, and slowly crept to the living room area. They had entered and didn't bother taking off their shoes, well Ranma didn't, and Selene was wearing socks at the time. "Shh." She slowly opened the door, a fraction. They saw everyone eating, and there sat Ranma and Selene.
"That was great. My compliments to the chef." Selene set down her chopsticks. "Where can I put this? I'm done." The future Selene could hear Ranma take in breath, as if he were trying to breath. She pulled Ranma down and held a finger up to her mouth, telling him to be quiet. She motioned Ranma to follow her as the past Selene walked off into the kitchen.
"I don't believe this." Ranma said, still thinking about seeing himself in the living room, eating.
"I know, not many people do." Selene replied walking outside. "Come on, we have to get back to our time." She heard Ranma make a grunt of confusion. "I think you've seen enough, already." Selene then took Ranma's hand and he found that he was back in the white area with the enormous grandfather clock. Selene did the same as before, but this time the clock was set to the time in which Selene and Ranma first arrived. The door then opened and Ranma and Selene found themselves on the roof. "Now, do you want to know the rest of my power of not?"
"Uhh...about bout a few more." Ranma said in disbelief.
"Ok." Selene jumped down and Ranma followed. "I can give and take life." Ranma's eyes widen in even more disbelief. "See that tree over there?" Ranma nodded. It was a young, healthily tree with leaves all over. Selene walked over to it, and touched on the bark of the tree. In an instance the tree began to shrivel and die. "Now, watch closely." Selene laid her hand flat out against the dead tree, and the tree grew and bloomed into what it originally was. "I get premonitions too. Though that one is kinda hard to show. Oh," Selene said, she smiled at her thought. "Though, I can transform."
"Transform." Ranma said, he thought he had wax stuck in his ears.
"Yeah, transform. Watch." Selene shook her head; she let out air and closed her eyes. Ranma saw Selene transform from a girl with pale skin, and wet hair into Akane, and back again. "Here's another one." She closed her eyes again, and her skin seemed to illuminate. Her head changed from human into a burning bird's head. Her body shifted too, her arms became wings of fire, her legs burning bird feet, and her torso became the flamed portion of a bird's. Selene began to flap her wings and spurts of fire hit the ground.
"Wow." Ranma said mesmerized. "You transformed into a phoenix." Ranma stood staring at the magnificent phoenix before him, and then saw the phoenix slowly shift back into Selene. "Wow." Selene smiled broadly.
"That's my favorite to turn into." Selene laughed and stomped out a little fire she caused. "I can do a lot more, but I'm tired. I'm going to bed. But, if you want I can show you more tomorrow. Night." Selene walked back into the house, and left Ranma staring at her with wide eyes.
Ranma reached the door at the end of the hall and knocked. "Selene?" He knocked again, and got a reply.
"Door's open." Selene's voice was muffled. Slowly Ranma twisted the doorknob and saw Selene sitting a few inches off the ground. Ranma stood there; her eyes were closed and seemed to have forgotten that she had just told someone that the door was open. Selene levitated a bit higher and then hit the ceiling. "Ow!"
