"You dreamed about what now?"
It was another fine day in Eaden. Ellie had one day before she left for college, and she had asked Sophie to come over for "One last girl talk."
"I dreamed about us, our adventure. " Ellie replied. "I dreamt about it for days before it happened. And I dreamt that your eyes could glow. "
Sophie was tempted to lie, claim that glowing eyes were completely ridiculous. But Ellie had been part of this ever since that fateful night, and deserved to know the truth. She just hoped Ellie wouldn't treat her any different because of this. Taking a deep breath, Sophie focused and flashed her eyes. "That's not all I can do."
Ellie was mesmerized. "How-?"
"Nanobots." Sophie interrupted. "They saved my life, and they let me do this." She closed her eyes, and Ellie watched in amazement as the radio on the coffee table tuned itself to the Christmas music station, then flipped to Jazz FM, and finally caught a snippet of some kind of elevator music before turning itself off. "I'm also a little bit stronger than most teens. Like, 'knock Sally Vance out with one punch' stronger. But that doesn't explain how you dreamt about me. Spill."
Ellie sighed, she should have known this secret thing was a two way street. "I don't usually have dreams like that, but I get feelings, premonitions. I sensed something… different about your dad from the start, and I always knew you were special."
"We're both special." Sophie said. "Look at you! You're some kind of oracle or something!"
Ellie blushed. "It's not like that."
Sophie giggled and performed an exaggerated bow. "Oh, great prophetess. What does my future hold?"
"Well why don't you just Google it Miss Gadget?" Ellie teased back. Then suddenly, her expression turned serious. "Sophie, no matter what happens, remember your parents love you, and so do I."
"Was that a premonition?"
"I don't know." Ellie replied uneasily. "Maybe."
