Hey guys. I've been feeling pretty sick this whole week. Sore throat and all that lovely stuff. Anyway, I would like to thank Sonya Rivers and Madeline Cullen for that favor they did for me. Thanks guys. Now, what about that last chapter? Pretty surprising huh? I do try. Well, there is a little something interesting in this chapter too. I don't want to reveal anything though. It's probably not going to be very long. This is really just a filler with a cool little twist. Okay, way too much info. Read 'NeoFlock' and 'Deadline' by Talon666 and 'Dark Blue' and 'Maximum Ride: Wings vs. Wands' by Madeline Cullen. Excellent stories by amazing authors. Okay, now we're going to get onto my next chapter. I really hope you all enjoy this chapter. It's pretty awesome.

Skye and I picked up all the things I needed and we headed back to the hotel as fast as we could. It only took about ten minutes to get there and two minutes to get to our room.

When we were in front of our door, I pulled my key card out of my pocket. I was about to unlock the door, when Skye grabbed my arm. I looked up at him.

"You're sure you don't want to tell me what all of that stuff is for?" Skye asked curiously.

He'd been asking for ages what I was going to do with all the stuff I bought. I didn't want to worry him so I told him that he'd see in due time. Well, that went over like a ton of bricks.

I nodded. "You'll see." I heard him sigh behind me as I unlocked the door.

I opened the door barely a crack and then shoved the key card into my pocket. When I pushed open the door I looked up and got the shock of my life.

Jewel was lying on the bed, watching TV with the remote floating in mid air next to her. I dropped my bags on the ground and she looked up.

"Oh, hi guys." she said as calmly as could be. "I didn't hear you come in." From the way she talked you'd think that remotes just hovered beside little girls all of the time.

Skye and I stepped into the room and shut the door behind us. Needless to say, the two of us couldn't even begin to ask what in the heck was going on.

"Wha-" was all I could manage to get out of my mouth. My hand was pointing at the remote and I was dumbfounded.

Jewel looked at me, confused for a minute. Then she got a look of comprehension on her face and the remote landed gently beside her. "Sorry about that. Didn't mean to freak you out."

Little too late for that, Jewel. I thought to myself, still not sure of what had just happened. Until Jewel opened her mouth I could've written off what I'd see as too much stress. I mean, me and Skye did almost have a fight to the death with Willow.

"Care to explain?" Skye asked, finding his voice.

I needed to sit down, so I did. Right down in the floor. I didn't even care that it had hurt when I landed on the ground. Skye sat down next to me and the two of us looked at Jewel.

"Well, it's pretty simple." Jewel began. "I was looking for the remote when it just came to me. I've tried moving other things, but they apparently can't be any heavier than that coffee table."

"You have telekinesis?" I asked, amazed.

"She has what?" Skye asked me. "You can't be speaking English."

I sighed, a little annoyed with my supposed boyfriend. "I am speaking English. Telekinesis is the psychic ability to make objects float with your mind. It's actually pretty awesome."

"Oh." Skye said like he knew what I was talking about all along. "Now you're making some sense."

"Oh, Skye." Jewel said. "I wonder if you'll get a power."

"I already have one." Skye told her nonchalantly. You'd think he was talking about the weather rather than a new, cool mutant ability.

Jewel's emerald green eyes popped out of her head. "Are you serious?" she asked. "Why didn't you tell me? What is it? Why are you back so late?" She was like Nudge on a sugar rush.

"Calm down." I told her quietly. "I'll tell you if you take some deep breaths and calm down."

Jewel breathed in and out a couple of times and then said, "So, tell me. I'm calm now."

I sighed. "Okay. Skye can generate force fields. I have no idea how big they can get."

"Really?" Jewel asked. "That's freakin' amazing."

Skye nodded smugly. "Well of course it's amazing." he said. "It is my power after all."

I rolled my eyes at him. I loved him so much, but he was just so impossible. What was I going to do with him? I needed to deflate his overly enlarged ego and bring him off his little golden pedestal.

"How'd you find out?" Jewel asked. "And, by the way, how did your date go?" She batted her dark eyelashes which made me giggle a little bit.

"Well, we went roller skating." I told her. "It was pretty fun. We had some pizza, Skye fell down, and I totally beat him at every race we had."

Jewel giggled and Skye grunted and muttered, "You never told me that you were that good. You just said you did it a couple of times before."

"Anyway, we left and decided that since it was so late we'd fly back." I said, going back to the story. "We went into an alley and ran into Willow. She tried to kill us, but we managed to hold her off until Tanner paged her. She got angry and then took off."

Jewel nodded understandingly. Then she pointed to the bags I had brought in. "So, what's that stuff for?"

"Yeah." Skye said, rounding on me. "What is that stuff for? I've been asking you since we went into that store."

I sighed and dragged one of the bags close to me. I began pulling out the contents while Jewel and Skye sat around me, looking both confused and excited. A bag of balloons, garlic, vinegar, salt, sugar, fertilizer, a small skillet, aluminum foil, dried peppers, two boxes of Ziploc baggies, some measuring spoons, and ethyl alcohol.

"I'm making some bombs." I explained, giving them some pity.

Skye looked at me incredulously. "And how are you supposed to make them with all of this junk?" He waved his arms around, indicating the stuff I had bought.

"Hey." I told him, getting a tad bit defensive. "My dad and the Gasman could make actual explosives out of nothing but toothpaste, a shoelace, and some foam rubber. All I'm making is some smoke bombs, stink bombs, and tear gas."

"Well excuse me." Skye said sarcastically. What was with him? Oh. He had actually thought that I wanted him to revert back to his old ways. I'd just have to fix that.

I sighed heavily. "Fine. Just forget it." I began to pack away the things, looking at the ground.

Even though we were in front of Jewel I felt two fingers gently brush under my chin and then lift it up. Before I knew it, I was lost in Skye's ocean blue eyes. He was apologizing silently. I smiled softly and I guess he took that as a silent acceptation of his apology. We took the few things I had gotten in the bag back out.

Am I good or what?

"So, how is this supposed to work?" Jewel asked, getting our attention refocused. "And why fertilizer?" she asked, wrinkling her nose.

"Well, the fertilizer has potassium nitrate in it. That's used in most explosives." I explained. "You see, when I combine the sugar and the potassium nitrate it should make an excellent smoke bomb."

"Uh huh." Skye said slowly.

"You have no idea what I just said, do you?" I asked him.

"Not a clue." he admitted. "English please."

"Fertilizer." I indicated the bag. "Plus sugar." I pointed to the sugar. "Together makes a lot of smoke." I said as slowly as humanly possible.

"Oh." Skye nodded. "And that helps how?"

I sighed. "You'll see Skye. I promise."

I went right to work with a little help from Jewel and Skye. It didn't take long until I had everything except the tear gas ready.

"So, are you sure this stuff won't expire?" Skye asked, still pinching his nose.

I nodded. "Positive."

"And why didn't we make the tear gas again?" Jewel asked curiously.

"We have to make sure it's contained properly and I didn't want to take any chances." I explained.

"And what are we going to do with the leftover stuff?" Skye asked.

"Pack it into these Ziploc baggies for next time." I told them.

We began to do that too. It took way longer than making the bombs because I didn't want to spill anything. It would have been such a waste. Finally, however, we were finished and ready for bed.

"I got first watch." I told them. "We leave at around nine. We can't stick around here anymore. They keep finding us somehow."

"I wonder how?" Jewel asked curiously.

Skye shrugged. "It's a mystery, but not one that's going to be solved tonight. Go on to bed kiddo." he told Jewel.

She stared at us for a minute, grinned to herself, and crawled into the bed I would be sharing with her. She even made sure to face the wall.

I giggled. "You need to get some sleep too Skye. You really need it."

He nodded. "Yeah. I suppose I do. But, I realized something." he told me, coming closer.

"What?" I asked, feeling goosebumps crawl up my arms and noticing my heart was beating extremely fast.

"I haven't kissed you today." he whispered in my ear.

I shivered. "Guess you should fix that huh?" I asked.

He pressed his lips on mine for a few seconds. It wasn't long, but it was still wonderful.

"Okay, now I can get some sleep." he told me after we had pulled apart. "Remember," he said, crawling into his bed, "I've got second watch."

I nodded. "I know. I won't forget."

He turned away from me and I pulled out the laptop. This was all definitely going in the blog. My fans needed to know what happened.

Well, that's it for this chapter. The next one is coming up soon. See you guys then.
