The Aqua League,Chapter 3:Anything is possible, all you have to do, is believe.

Continued....

"I can hear your thoughts" Suz said to me. "Y-you what?" I said, half shocked and half speechless. Everyone stared at Suz. "S-suz, Y-y-our flying, your rea-ally fly-flying." I managed to say through my choked words. "AAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHA!!!!!" I heard laughing again. Ryan. The first and obvious name that came to my mind.. "Ryan, that was not a good time, she is flying 7 feet off the ground and your laughing?!" Ed said. "I-I haaahahahaha can-can't st-sto-stop!!!!AAAAAHAHAHAHAA!" "Well, gee...that's a logical answer." I said to try to lighten things up. Except I ended up making Ryan laugh harder.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!Ma-make me-me st-stop!!" "How?" Kristen said. Suddenly Ryan started laughing again. He laughed so hard that this time, he sent out sonic waves or something. I covered my ears and watched in amazement as the beakers and jars started cracking and eventually breaking. Then he finally calmed down. "Ryan, what in the bloody hell just happened?!" Blake asked him. "Blake," Ryan said while catching his breath. "You do not swear at your best friend, whom was just going through some sort of weird seizure..." Ryan said. "Kev, you have a tail..." Kristen said while pointing at something sticking out of his, uh...you know...behind...."Cool!" I have a tail!!And it's furry! Ooh!! And I have claws as well!! I look like a gerbil" Kevin said while waving his tail around. "Dude, we get it." Ed said. The next second Kevin was gone and instead, there was a gerbil in his place. The next second it was Kevin again."Woah, you can morph!" Ed said."Ed? Where are you?" Kevin asked shocked that he heard his buddy's voice but his buddy was no where to be seen."I'm here Kev. Behind you"Ed said and suddenly a blur image of Ed appeared. "I've been here the whole time"Ed said."Ed, your, your head is floating." I informed him. Stammering. I looked carefully and realised that Ed was blending with the background. Camouflaging to be exact..."No it's not it's just- HOLY CRAP I'M DEAD!!"Ed said but he slowly realised that he was still in one piece. "Thank god..."Ed said relieved. "It seems that everyone has acquired some sort of 'special ability'...."Suz said ."I can fly, Ed can camouflage, Ryan can, uh...laugh?" "Correction, I can send out super sonic waves WHILE laughing!" Ryan his face full of triumph. "So in other words, all of us have powers..."Blake said "Not just powers!"Suz said "All of us are telepatically linked plus I said we had powers like, five minutes ago..." I ignored them and started trying out what kind of 'power' I had.
The dream...I thought. It was still crystal clear in my head. I closed my eyes and thought about my dream. I replayed the whole thing in my head. The flames, as if they were worshipping me, protecting me from whatever evil that was there. The flames were so warm. They danced of the sides of my body, the tips of my fingers. I felt as if I could stay there forever. "ALY!!!" an ear-piercing scream brought me back to reality. I opened my eyes and realised that I wasn't dreaming, the flames were really there. It looked as if I was on fire, but I didn't burn. The flames didn't hurt me. A split second later I realised that, the flames WERE me.

I looked at my friends. They gaped at me in amazement. Then the flames on me just died down. "Woah, Aly...your power is like, manipulating fire..." Ed managed to tell me.
"Tell me something I don't know..." I sighed. "Well, your hot..."Blake said out of the blue.
Everyone stared at him "I meant temperature wise..." he said awkwardly. I could feel my cheeks burning by the minute. "Kristen what can you do?" I said changing the subject. "Well," Kristen said "I had this dream that I could fly, and do things like lift things 300,000 times my size and-" "Wait," I cut her off. "You had a dream about what kind of power you had?" I asked "Because if you did, then it can't be coincidence because I had a dream that I have fire powers."
"And I dreamt that I could laugh without my braces!!" Ryan said. "Ryan, number one, you took off your braces last year, number two, with or without braces, your laugh is still ear-piercing..." Blake concluded.

"Okay, tell you what. We all meet up at the 'Holiday Escape Lodge' and we'll talk about it then. I'll make sure my dad gives us rooms."
Okay, so maybe I haven't told you before but my dad owns the 'Holiday Escape Lodge' . One of the most posh hotels in the country. "It's a deal then?" I asked. I secretly hoped Blake could come. There were things we needed to go through. Everyone agreed. After school, all of us met up at H.E lodge at 7pm.
"Kristen!!" I yelled. She was the first to arrive. I was thankful. "Heyz! Aly!" I hugged her as if we hadn't seen each other in ages. "Suz is on her way here with Kevin,Ryan, Ed and Blake. You could say she's the 'official bus' to H.E lodge. We laughed at the thought that she'd be in the car with her mother and 4 guys.
"So, " Kristen said as she tried to start some small talk with me as we were going into the elevator, up to our rooms on the 8th floor. You may be thinking now, "I thought they stay at a boarding school?!" well, yeah about that I forgot to mention earlier than we're allowed to stay out of school on weekends but we would need official letter from out parents and all that crap.
Bzz bzzz, bzzz bzzz. My cell. "Hello?" I said. "Aly, this is Suz me and the guys are in the lobby, come get us PLEASE HURRY!!!" and she hung up "Haha," I laughed aloud "It's Suz with the guys isn't it?" Kristen asked with a smirk on her face. "DUH! How I so wouldn't want to be her right now!"

Me and Kristen hurried downstairs and brought them up after greeting her mom. Our rooms we're next to each other. Rooms 207 and room 208. The plan was to go for dinner and stay there for the whole weekend but only discuss the powers and stuff on the 2nd night. After all of us unpacked we went down for a wonderful delicacy. All you can eat buffet dinner. As usual, the guys and I stuffed our faces. Yes, I'm a glutton and I have no shame to say it.

I.Am.A.Glutton.

It was 11.30pm. I got up and put on my orange tank top and a pair of black board shorts and headed out the the swimming pool. Where there was a mini waterfall. It's were I usually go to do my thinking. I plopped down on a chair near there and gazed into nothingness. I replayed everything that had happened to me since starting school at R.A
New friends, new enemies, new rivals, broken hearts, and now this. Getting powers.
And Blake. I never gave him a chance to tell his side of the story. It must have been painful to almost drown like that. I sobbed softly until I noticed someone starring at me. I looked up
and I saw it was Blake. I saw a sense of sincerity and a feeling of hurt in seeing me. I turned away but he put his arm around me and gently lifted my chin up. "I'm so sorry Aly. I never meant to hurt you. But I-"
"Hush." I said while putting my hand on his face. "I'm sorry too. I never should have jumped to a conclusion like that." He smiled at me and wiped my tears. I rested my head on his shoulder and kissed him. We spent the rest of the night talking until I looked at my watch and it was 3 a.m in the morning. "I'd better go Blake. I'll see you later." He nodded and we went back to our rooms. I fell asleep the moment my head touched the pillow and I woke up to see Suz and Kristen around my bed. Smiling.
"You are not going out of this room until you tell us what happened last night." Kristen said and she held up a red rose. "I smiled and read the card on it, which read

"Aly, I love you.
Be my girlfriend.
I will always stay faithful to you.
Just say the word.
Say yes, for me.
And be mine..."


I smiled and told Kristen and Suz everything that happened. Went they left me to my own privacy. I stared down at the sweet smelling rose in my hand. I looked at it and said to myself.
"Yes, I will..."
