Anne made it back to the Crashdown so lost in thought it was a good thing that her powers are like GPS or she could have walked off a cliff without noticing. Liz was waiting up, "So have things changed much since you were here last? Did you have fun with Max?" She was prying, wanted to know if anything had happened.
Luckily Brom took over and kept Anne cool, "almost everything is how I remembered it and Max was fun. After a while it was as if we had never lost touch we were quiet a lot and when we talked it was about books, movies, comics and music. Then one of us would make a corny joke and we would end up make sarcastic remark after sarcastic remark. It was great."
"Yeah you guys were like that when you were younger. Max is never like that anymore I wish I could have seen." Liz's fears were diminished slightly but still.
"Well you probably will I'm going to be around a while. Well I'm tired Liz do you mind if we go to sleep now?"
"No of course not," Liz was already dressed for bed. So Anne felt no worries about heading to the bathroom.
After a nice shower and more lost thoughts Anne came out slightly refreshed but still preoccupied and if it wasn't for Brom it would show all over her face. Ann lay down on the cot that was set up by the window.
"Are you thirsty, Anne?" Liz asked.
"No I'm good."
"Okay I'm going to get a glass of water, be right back," Liz smiled at her cousin. She trusted her, Anne didn't have anything to hide.
While Liz was gone Anne felt her crystal vibrate and saw a glowing come from the jewelry box on Liz's night stand. It was Liz's crystal it woke up at the presence of Anne's. Through her crystal Anne told Liz's crystal to begin to wake up the powers within Liz and to make sure Liz brought the crystal with her to the meeting tomorrow. Anne would put the subconscious idea into Kyle, Maria, and Michael's head too. Max and Iz knew to do so already. They needed their crystals right away so that they could fully awaken the Mother crystal and thus all the smaller ones as well. Training would go faster now. Liz came back looking slightly worried and Anne knew that she had gotten Max's call while she had been downstairs.
"Anne tomorrow I have something I have to do around five so you'll be on your own for awhile."
"That's okay I'll be fine on my own, I don't need someone to entertain me all the time you know," Anne smiled although she was a nervous reck.
"I know I just feel bad leaving you on your own when you just came into town."
"It's fine really."
"Okay, well good night." Liz climbed into bed and turned off the light.
"Good night." Anne would fall apart right there if she could but she had to be strong. Tomorrow would be the most difficult day of her life.
