"California is way too hot," said Maddy plopping done on the couch.
"I can fix that," said Portia.
The air around them started to cool off. Maddy smiled as the temperature dropped to a comfortable 75 . Valentina shook her head at her sister's actions.
"So do you think Jada and I will get the power?" asked Maddy out of the blue.
"Don't know," said Portia.
"Yeah, Tia had to force hers to the surface," laughed Valentina. "It's different with each person. I woke up and it was raining in my room, Tia got pissed as hell, and Xe just sat there."
Maddy shrugged her shoulders. Jada walked out on the porch and they started to talk about what they would do that night. After arguing and being rained into the house, thanks to Valentina, they decided a movie was best.
At six-thirty they all piled into Valentina's car and drove to the movie theatre. They walked into the building and spent another five minutes figuring out what movie to see. They had just gotten their popcorn when the building started to shake. A voice came over the intercom system.
"Everyone remain come, this is an earthquake. Please make your way to the nearest door frame or follow a staff member and they will direct you to a safe place, thank you."
All five girls walked over to a large doorframe and braced themselves. Maddy, who had been the most freaked had a calm wash over her face. Xenia tried to grab her arm as she walked out into the middle of the theatre. Slowly the building stopped shaking. Valentina ran forward and grabbed Maddy and pulled her into the theater.
"What the hell was that?" shouted Valentina "You can go out do that in public! You could've killed someone!"
"I stopped it, not started it!" shouted Maddy. "I just let go and it stopped."
All four girls looked at Maddy with astonishment. They decided to postpone the movie incase something else happened. They piled back into Val's car and drove back to Jada's house. Jada's mom rushed out of the house to make sure everyone was okay. They explained to her what had happened at the theatre. Jada's mom nodded her head and said she would call Maddy's mom in the morning.
Maddy smiled, as she got ready for bed that night.
"What the hell are you so happy about? If you get pissed you could destroy an entire city, or country," said Portia.
"Like that's any different from you. We've moved twice to 'faulty wiring'," said Valentina.
"Oh, you're one to talk. You flooded our neighborhood with a five day down pour because someone broke up with you!" said Portia.
"We get it," said Jada. "Our powers are dangerous if left unchecked.
" 'Our' powers?" asked Maddy looking at Jada. "Last I checked you didn't have any."
"Maddy!" said Portia.
"What?" said Maddy. "She was raining on my parade!"
"I'll rain on your parade, literally, if you do that again," said Valentina.
"Whatever," said Maddy.
"Let's just go to sleep," said Xenia.
"Deal," said Portia as the candles died out.
