When I got home that day both Noelle and Elaine came up to me excitment radiating off them. "What's up Ice Queen? It takes alot to get you to show this kind of emotion." I said.

"We unpacked our intruments today. Mom let us set up in the loft in the garage. We have our own little band place!" squealed Elaine as happy as she could be.

"Whoot!" I shouted. We headed to the garage and I saw that they had set up Annalee's guitar, My bass, Beccah's keyboard, Noelle's electric guitar, and Elaine's drums. On the wall they had hung up an assortment of instruments that between the five of us we knew how to play.

"Dude, you guys did a great job setting up." I said. I went over and picked up my bass.
I plugged it into an amp and started to play. Noelle picked up her guitar and added on to the improve. Elaine sat down at her snare set and picked up the beat. Beccah hearing us from our room, rushed down.

"Alright, the Pride girls are back in busness," she said as turned on her keyboard.

We finished the song and laughed with joy at having the ability to play together again.

"When Annalee comes home we should try and get a gig," Beccah suggested.

"That would be too cool." Noelle said.

"Let's play something that sounds abit erie," I said. I handed Noelle the violin and pointed to Beccah to start on her keyboard. She put it in synthasiser mode and playing, soft and flowing. Noelle waited a few measures added her violin. Elaine started at the same time with her bongos. I waited and then started to play a melody with some pan pipes.

My mom came in to listen to us. She listened for a while and then started to slowly sway to the music. I gently lifted into the air and twirled with the music. My mom rose and joined me in our air dance. Noelle stoped playing the violin long enough to create a few flurrys of snow. I blew the snow flakes around my mom and I as we danced. Beccah kept playing with one hand and with the other sent a dazzling light that glinted off the snow in the air and made it sparkle. I touched back down to the ground and let my mom have the spot light for a while. We then ended the music as my mom also let her self come back to earth.

"That was beautiful girls," she said.

"We just added to the effect," Noelle said quietly.

"You are the real beautiful one," Beccah said.

"Thank you," my mom said blushing," I have to start dinner."

"I'll come help you," I said putting down my pan pipes,"what are we having?"

"I was going to make chicken and some vegtables grilled."

"I can grill the chicken and vegtables. You can boil some water for noodles," I said.

My sisters followed us into the kitchen and mom set them to chopping up and putting on scuers the vegtables. I went out side and turned on the grill. A few minutes later Noelle skated out to me on the ice she had created.

"Careful.The fence isn't high enough to block out all the neighbors," I said laughing at her antics.

She tossed her head and handed me the chicken and vegtables. I put them on the grill and closed the lid.

"When Annalee comes home for the weekend we should play some more," I said.

"Yeah," Noelle said distracted from the tiny rink she was making in the yard. She then began to skate on it. Doing arabesques and tricky foot work.

I watched her beautiful form and then turned back to my cooking. I then had the feeling that someone was watching us. Beccah came out and sat down next to me.

"Hey, Beccah do you see any one watching us?" I whispered," Don't look as if you are looking around! Just start to casualy gaze around the yard."

A few minutes later she said,"I see him."

"Where?" I asked darkly.

"He's over there. It looks like he streched himself into that tree," she giggled.

I turned and there was Lash watching us from the top of a tree a normal person never would have been able to get into. He didn't see me watching him though. He was to preoccupied watching Beccah.

"Hey, Noelle. Come here for a minute," I said.

"What?" she said annoyed that I had disrupted her communion with the ice.

"Look over as casualy as you can and see that guy in the tree."

"Did he see me create the ice rink?" she said worried.

"I don't know, but he's a super to so it's okay," I reassured her,"I want you to freeze him."

She gave me a strange look. Beccah laughed and said,"Do it. It should be funny."

Noelle rolled her eyes and then turned and froze him. He was so surprized that he didn't have the chance to move out of the way. I looked around to make sure there was no one else watching us and then I flew up and brought him down out of the tree.

"Man, is he cold," I said.

"Gee, I wonder why that is," Noelle said sarcasticly as she unfroze him.

He gasped as he was brought back to normal tempratures. He huddled close to the grill. Feeding off the warmth it gave off. Beccah put her jacket over his shoulders.

"W-w-what d-d-d-did you d-d-do th-th-at for?" he shivered.

"Why were you watching us? And how did you find out we lived here?" I said.

"I live in that house right there," he said pointing to a house that was two houses down from ours,"I saw Beccah go into this house when she got off the bus."

"Oh great. We have a stalker living near us," said Noelle.

"Next time just knock on the front door. We don't deal well with unwelcome intruders," I said.

"You were watching me get off the bus?" Beccah said,"Why?"

"I don't know," Lash shrugged,though I thought I noticed his cheeks might of gone slightly pink despite being recently frozen.

" You should have just knocked on the front door," Noelle said rolling her eyes.

"Why were you watching me get off the bus?" Beccah repeated.

"I just noticed okay, it wasn't like I was watching you speciffically, you think everything revoles around you, don't you, man you are as spoiled as people say." Lash said.

"LASH!" a voice said from his yard.

"Coming!" he yelled back,"I have to get going."

He streched and did a flip into his yard.

"Wow," Noelle said,"That's pretty freaky looking."

"You should see him when he isn't so stiff from being frozen," said Beccah watching him go.

"Come on you guys," I said,"The chicken is done. Noelle can you take this into mom and Beccah and I will be right in with the vegtables."

"Sure," Noelle said.

"What do you think of him?" I asked Beccah as soon as Noelle had left.

"He's okay, I guess," Beccah said,"I think he doesn't know how to aproche people with out being rude. Maybe that's why he was so mean to me in the cafeteria."

"I think he has a mean streak a mile wide," I put in,"but I think that some good influence and the right pretty girl could change him."

Beccah gave me a glare and then headed into the house with a platter of vegtables. I followed laughing. She was soo cute when she was emberassed., but she deserved it after the teasing she had given me in the cafertria.

We had a pleasant dinner and we learned that dad had saved Japan from a villian who wanted to wipe it out with a gigantic tidle wave. We cheared and gasped in fear in all the right places as he told the story and laughed at the end when the people of Japan had tryed to thank him, but he couldn't understand what they were saying.

After dinner I asked mom and dad if I could have my friends from school over for dinner on Friday night.

"Sure," mom said,"I would love to meet your friends."

"Great!" Beccah and I said at the same time.

The next morning I woke up and headed down stairs to make breakfast. I had told Beccah last night that her breakfast would be on the counter, but I probably would be gone before she got up.

Jetstream and the Commander were just walking up the walk way when I came out all the way ready this time.

"Good morning. It's great to see you up and at 'em this morning," the Commander said with gusto.

Still half asleep, I just glared at him for being a morning person. Who would want to be a morning person anyway?

Jetstream laughed at my not being awake and then said,"Shall we get you to school."

I nodded and we took off.

"How to you fly?" I asked Jetstream,"I use the wind and my sister walks on light, but you don't seem to have a sorce for your flying."

"No, I don't use an element to fly. I just am able to lift off the ground," she said.

"That must have been scary when you found out your power," I said.

"Yes it was," she said with a laugh,"I didn't know how to get back down."

"Yeah, the same thing happened to me. I was angery with one of my sisters and a wind just came and blew me up. I didn't want to stop the currant because I didn't want to crash down. My dad had to fly up and get me."

"Who are your parent's?" the Commander asked.

"Whirlwind and EagleEye," I said.

"Ah, old Terrance. I use to go to school with him, but he was two grades ahead of me," he said.

"Maybe we should have your family over for dinner some times," Jetstream suggested.

"All seven of us?" I said.

"Seven! How many siblings do you have?" Jetstream said surprized.

"Four sisters."

"I didn't know that your parents had so many children." she said.

"I was actualy going to ask Will and his friends over for dinner on Friday," I said.

"That sounds nice. I'm sure Will would love that," Jetstream said as we touched down at the school.

At lunch I told everyone about Friday night.

"I would love too!" Layla squealed with delight,"I was actualy going to ask you, Beccah, and Magenta over for a sleepover. But we can do that next week."

"Why not we have dinner over at my house and then the girls go over to your house. I don't see why we can't have both," Beccah said.

"What time should we be at your house?" Ethan asked.

"About 5:30. That way you'll walk in just as dinner gets done," I said.

"5:30 it is then," said Will cheerfuly.

We didn't realize that others were listening in on our conversation.

Friday came and I rushed to get to school. Jetstream said,"Today you will be able to get your license to fly to school. Is that why your rushing to school?"

"Yeah, but I'm also having your son and his friends over for dinner and I just want to get through school. Then I'll be able to go home and make dinner."

"You cook?" said Commander interested.

"A little. I'm not that good yet. I'm not as good as my mom or my grandmother," I said.

"Well, they have had a few more years of pratice," said Jetstream pleasantly.

At lunch that day I sat down excited about the up coming weekend. Beccah plopped down next to me. She wasn't radiating her usual light.

"What's wrong?" I asked worried.

"I have to get tutored in my Hero classes," she said buring her head in her hands.

"It's okay. I'm sure that others have needed help for these kinds of classes and these are the classes that I'm having the hardest time in, but I have Will and Warren right there to help me," I said trying to reassure her.

"I have to go this afternoon and get tutored. I might be late for dinner," She said still discuraged.

"That's fine," Layla said," We can wait for you. We will just have more time to get it perfect for you."

Beccah sighed and started to eat her lunch.

After school ended I found her on her way to the Principles office to meet with her tutor.

"I'm going home and if you need me you just call," I said.

"There will be a bus to take me home. Priciple Powers wanted to make sure that our family doesn't have any more trasportation problems," she said with a sarctic laugh.

"Be good and get caught up," I said and then I headed home.
