BOOOOOM! The kitchen shook as the microwave exploded, covering Tiffany, Cubby, and Tom in bits and pieces of beef.
"What was that? Let's go see what went wrong." Sky said calmly as everyone got up to see what exploded in the kitchen.
Everyone stopped when they saw a big black crater in the counter where the microwave had been. Tom's face was red with anger. Tiffany and Cubby exchanged guilty looks.
Cubby's face suddenly lit up as he laughed "Microwave go boom!"
Tom got even angrier at that. As Tom grew angrier, the rest of the undestroyed electronics in the room started turning on and off as the lights flickered. Tom looked like he was about to explode.
"Everyone. Out. Of. The. Kitchen." Tom said as calmly as he could trying not to raise his voice.
Everyone but Danny immediately obeyed, not wanting to find out the consequences of staying. As soon as everyone left the room, Tom moved his hand in a manner that looked like he was pushing something down. As he did this, The electronics and lights returned to normal as he calmed down.
Tom carefully took the pieces of beef off him and threw it in the garbage. Tom was expecting something like that to happen so he had set up a slow cooker before they had gone out for fun. Tom grabbed the slow cooker, lifted the lid, and checked on the pot roast inside. It was done and fully cooked, and miraculously unburnt. Tom pulled out a platter and set it next to the slow cooker.
Finally noticing Danny was there, Tom asked, "Danny could you take the pot roast out while I finish the potatoes and get the gravy ready?"
Danny did as asked and took the pot roast out of the slow cooker and put it on the platter while Tom took a pot off the stove and draining the water out of it, revealing fully cooked potatoes. Tom put the potatoes in a large bowl and went over to the slow cooker. Tom picked it up carefully and poured the beef broth into a small pot on the stove and proceeded to make the gravy. Danny, meanwhile, was putting the corn on the cob into a bowl.
Danny decided to break the ice. "So where did you learn to cook like that?" ,Danny asked.
Tom smiled "When my dad was in high school, he wanted to be a chef and trained to be one, but life got in the way when he joined the army. Years later I was born, and he started teaching me how to cook. I've been told I can be a chef if I wanted to, but my heart belongs to racing."
Meanwhile in the dining room...
"NOT MY FAULT!"
Everyone glared at Cubby, Tiffany was still trying to pick off the bits and pieces of beef out of her hair. She looked off into space, she wasn't exactly concentrating on anything.
"So um…" Dixon said after a while. "How did you guys meet anyway?"
"Huh?" Tiffany snapped back into reality.
"How did you meet Jake?" Dixon asked. But he knew the answer, one day an angel of light just turns up where a person would go most of their time. In Tiffany's case, it was in her bedroom, and it was completely unexpected…
8 year old Tiffany came home after a long, tiring day of school. She had been constantly made fun of in Directly Proportional Elementary school and she was sick of it. She came to the conclusion that there was nobody looking out for her, and nobody ever would.
"Hi!"
Tiffany turned around and looked at the source of the voice. A glowing boy, about her age, was standing in the middle of her bedroom staring at her like a dork.
"You must've been glad that Jake came to your rescue, right?" Hui Hua asked Tiffany.
"Um…well…" Jake began.
"AAH! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"
Jake's eyes widened in surprise as a dictionary was thrown at him. He turned back to the crazy girl to see her unloading her school bag and throwing everything she could find in there at the surprised angel.
"What are you doing?!" Jake exclaimed.
"GET AWAY! GO! SHOO!" Tiffany exclaimed, dropping her schoolbag once it was empty and ran out of her room and out of the house, screaming like a maniac. Jake rolled his eyes as he went after her.
"Wow…harsh." Sky told her.
"Tell me about it." Jake glared at Tiffany.
"That's totally different to how we met, right Hui Hua?" Sky asked her. Hui Hua nodded, she remembered everything like it happened a few moments ago, it started when she was just 10…
10 year old Hui Hua sat there reading another book. 3 huge kids came up to her and knocked her off her feet. She scrambled for he glasses as the kids laughed cruelly at her.
"Hey! Leave her alone!"
The kids turned around to see another girl coming closer to them. They rolled their eyes, ignoring her warning and went back to picking on Hui Hua. The figure then pushed all the kids aside, making them all collide on the floor. They looked at the figure in awe.
"I told you to leave her alone."
The kids looked at the figure with shocked faces, before scrambling to their feet and taking off without a word. Once Hui Hua found her glasses, she took one look at the girl who saved her behind.
"Who are you?" She asked the kid.
"Your angel of light, now come on. It's time for class." Sky told her, helping her up and into the building just as the school bell rang.
"OUR STORY! OUR STORY!"
"Yeah, how did you get Cubby in the first place?" Jake asked Dixon.
"Well…it was a pretty weird, funny, interesting…" Dixon began, everyone just stared at him with dull looks, begging the boy to get on with his story.
"I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored…"
12 year old Dixon walked along the streets, dizzily swaying back and forth. Every day was the same to him, nothing exciting happened. There was no excitement, no adventure, nothing.
"AAAH!" Cubby exclaimed, jumping out from a bush and landing right on Dixon's face.
"WHAT THE?!" Dixon shouted, grabbing Cubby off his face. Suddenly two huge shadows came closer and closer to him, both as horrifying as all the nightmares he had ever had in his life combined.
"So what did you do?" Ali asked.
"Long story short, I kicked their butts." Dixon smiled.
"Dixon ran away like big baby! Me follow!" Cubby exclaimed, Dixon glared at him.
"We've been together ever since…" Dixon told them, then he looked at Insane and Dedodakes.
"How about you two? You guys both have the same powers, but you're not related." Dixon told them. Insane and Dedodakes explained that both of them had been best friends for as long as they could remember, then one day…
"I dare you to go up that power pole." Dedodakes grinned.
"No way, I'll get killed!" Insane exclaimed.
The two 5 year olds were standing in front of a huge power pole. Dedodakes reached inside her pocket and grabbed 10 bucks out of it. Insane's eyes widened.
"I'll do it!" He exclaimed as he started to climb the pole. As he reached the top, he looked down. Dedodakes seemed so far away and there was no way that he was going to climb down at this height.
"Um…Dedodakes…help!" Insane exclaimed.
"What?" Dedodakes looked up at her friend.
"I'm stuck!" Insane exclaimed. "HELP ME!"
"Ok, ok…I got you…" Dedodakes told him as she climbed up the pole as well. Once she had reached him, she grabbed on to his leg and started to tug.
"Now get down, you big baby." Dedodakes told him.
"STOP! I'M SLIPPING!" Insane exclaimed.
"No you're not, now just climb down!" Dedodakes shouted, but then Insane lost his grip and started to fall. Luckily, he grabbed one of the power lines, which held both him and Dedodakes up.
Suddenly, a strong electric shock hit them both. Insane lost his grip and fell towards the ground, but before both of them hit the ground, electricity suddenly surged from their bodies and a wave of energy rushed out from underneath them and broke their fall.
"That blast gave us superpowers…and it increased our hyper level 25!" Dedodakes told the group.
"YAY FOR HYPERNESS!" Insane cheered.
"After all that drama, Dixon, Hui Hua and I attended Inversely Proportional high and met each other there. We don't need to explain how we met you three." Tiffany told Ali, Insane and Dedodakes.
"Best cruise ever." Dixon said.
"Yeah…" Everyone sighed, but then realized one thing. Tom and Danny were taking a really long time with their food…
…and they were hungry.
Tom Finished whipping the mashed potatoes with the electric mixer, making sure there were no lumps. Satisfied, Tom started to bring in the food. As he put it on the table, he started slapping hands away and told them to wait a little bit longer.
A few moments later, Danny and Tom finished bringing in the food and sat down at the table.
"Dig in!" Tom said with a smirk.
The hungry teens didn't need to be told twice and dug into the prepared food greedily.
"Mmmm, Tom. This is good. Where'd you learn to cook like this?" asked Dixon before stuffing his mouth with more of the pot roast
"My dad wanted to be a chef when he was younger. He never became a chef, but he taught me everything he knew." Tom told them. "I've been told I could be a great chef if I wanted to, but my heart belongs to racing."
An hour and a half later, everyone finished eating; their stomachs full, appetites filled. Dedodakes and Insane were surprisingly calm. Cubby had no more random rantings to say. Tom got up, grabbed the plates and proceeded to put them in the dishwasher.
Tom popped his head back into the dining room. "Okay, you've imposed enough, eaten my food, and destroyed our kitchen. Go to your own rooms" Tom said jokingly with a smile.
Everyone except Danny and Tom left, spilling out 'see ya tomorrows'. Tom smiled at Danny before grabbing a towel and dashing into the bathroom to take a shower. 10 minutes later, Tom came out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around his waist and ushered Danny into the bathroom. Tom changed into a pair of light blue pajamas and jump in bed, sleeping the moment his head hit the pillow.
