The next morning Mia was eating scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast when the doorbell rang. She ran to the door and opened it. "Oh, hi, Sam."
"Hey." said Sam, smiling. "Um, can I talk to you someplace - private?"
"Sure, c'mon up to my room." said Mia. She smiled as she led the way, but her mind was spinning. What can he want to talk to me about? she wondered. Is he going to break up with me?
She walked into her room and sat down on her bed. Sam sank into a chair. "So...you said you wanted to talk to me about something?" asked Mia curiously.
"Yeah. Well...you know about last night? With Tempest and all?" Sam's words began spilling out like M&Ms from a bag. "I saw you disappear. No person can do that. I want to know what's going on!"
"Uh...well...you see..." Mia stuttered. "I'm going to call Vi and Tony."
"Why?"
"It's easier that way. We can explain at the same time to both of you."
"Okay. Sure. I'll call Tony and you call Vi."
Ten minutes later all four teens had assembled in Mia's room. The girls sat on Mia's bed, Sam had reclaimed the chair, and Tony was sprawled out on several pillows.
"Okay." said Sam. "Spill it."
So Vi and Mia explained everything: about their powers, supernames, Team Dynamo, everything. "See, we couldn't tell you guys because no one is supposed to know our secret identities." explained Mia. "Otherwise, we would have. But I guess it's kinda late now."
"Well, that's kind of a relief." said Tony, grinning.
"What are you talking about?" asked Vi.
"Now I can like Viomist without worrying about you getting mad and dumping me, because you are Viomist."
"Huh?"
"Well..." Tony blushed a little. "I, uh, kinda had a crush on Viomist." Then he quickly added, "But don't worry. I never liked her more than you."
"Oh." Vi smiled. "Well, that's okay then. You're allowed to like her, because you're going out with her!"
Sam elbowed Tony. "Um, Tony, buddy, maybe we better tell them now."
Mia looked up sharply. "Tell who what?"
"You see...that is...I mean...we..." Tony stumbled over his words, and Vi and Mia couldn't understand him at all.
"I'll tell them." said Sam. "Well, Mia, Vi, we're not who we appear to be. That is, we are - but we're also supers."
"WHAT?" asked Mia, completely astonished. Vi seemed to be speechless, but her mouth fell open.
"We - we're supers." said Tony slowly. "My supername is Aquaguy. I can swim really fast for a long time, breathe underwater, throw water bombs, and create tidal waves."
"And I am The Floating Beam." added Sam. "I can shoot lasers from my hands and levitate in midair."
"Oh, wow, this is great!" Mia said. "Whodathunk? Two other super teens at school, and they're our boyfriends!"
"So what's your suit look like?" Vi asked Tony.
Tony and Sam turned out to have had their suits with them all along. "My mom's always sure that a supervillain will ambush me or something, so I carry my suit around - just in case." explained Sam.
"Same story for me." agreed Tony.
Tony (aka Aquaguy) had a nice supersuit that was tye-dyed greenish-blue. The chest had AG written in red across it.
"Nice suit." said Vi.
"Thanks!" replied Tony. "I'm really proud of it."
Sam's suit (aka The Floating Beam's) was neon yellow with neon green and pink stripes on the arms. FB was printed on the chest in black. "The neon is for my lasers." explained Sam sheepishly.
"Wow!" exclaimed Mia. "You practically have to have sunglasses just to look at it!"
Sam grinned. "Yeah, the designer specially made it that way to aid me in fights. The idea is that it's so bright, villains can't look directly at it. Sort of like the sun."
"Cool! Wanna join Team Dynamo, guys?" asked Vi. "We'd be honored to have you!"
"Great!" agreed Tony and Sam.
Team Dynamo now had five members: Viomist (Violet), The Soaring Ghost (Mia), PegaSplash (Splash, Mia's horse), Aquaguy (Tony), and The Floating Beam (Sam). They were ready for anything - or so they thought.
Dun dun dun! (dramatic music plays and lightning and thunder rumble in the distance) Da, dat's all folks! (for now anyway - R&R for Chapter 5) IÕm sorry if this was boring or whatever, but I needed a chapter where the boys found out and the girls found out, etc.
