Storm

Chapter 2

Anyway, that was about six months ago. Now I have my own place and I figured how to control my powers. My suit is black with flames covering it and my hair is a mix of red, orange, and yellows like actual flames. Turns out that I take heat from the planet's core. That's how I survive. All and all it's been great, until the darkness started happening. It began yesterday and right now we're on our way to go get Max who lives on Earth. We finally landed on earth and ran towards his house. I saw that there was a plate of cookies and a glass of milk sitting on the counter as I pointed towards it. Sharkboy and Lavagirl took a bite out of one of the cookies while I drank some of the milk and made the glass so hot that the milk started to boil. We went upstairs and stood by Max.

"Max, wake up!" I whispered.

"Dream, Max." Lavagirl whispered sweetly.

"Open your eyes, Max."

"Eyes open and dream, Stay dreaming!" Sharkboy whisper-yelled.

"Wake up!" I whisper-yelled as we started to head back downstairs. We clung ourselves to the ceiling. Lavagirl was on my right with Sharkboy on my left and me in the middle. Sharkboy seemed worried about me falling, so I felt him put his arm around my waist.

"Sharkboy, Lavagirl, and Storm." I heard Max say as he caught a glimpse of us before we disappeared when thunder hit. We ran out of the house towards his school that was right across the street. We all went back to the Shark spaceship and waited there until morning. The next day, I noticed a storm coming towards them, so we decided to make our dramatic entrance with the storm. We came bursting through the windows as everybody in the class had taken cover. I saw Lavagirl turn her head all the way around to face the teacher which frightened him even more. I heard whispers of astonishment spreading across the classroom like it was a wildfire.

"I'm looking for Max." I said in my most confident voice. Everyone in the class pointed to the back of the room where Max was sitting. As I started to make my way to the back of the classroom, papers that were on the desks started to burn up.

"She's hot." I heard one of the students say, but then out of the corner of my eye, I saw Sharkboy go up to the student and start ripping the paper to shreds with his claws. What is his problem today? I thought as I lifted up the desk to find Max curled up into a ball.

"We need your help, Max. Come with us."

"What do I have to do?" He asked.

"Go with us to Planet Drool. We'll explain on the way." Lavagirl said as she intervened. I heard a screeching sound coming from behind me when I saw Sharkboy use his claws on the chalkboard to create a map of the solar system.

"It's our home planet. Just outside your solar system."

"You should know Max, you made it up." Sharkboy said as he went to stand next to me. Max stared at the chalkboard for a few more seconds before looking at us.

"I can't go with you."

"Why not?" I started to get a little bit ticked off that he couldn't come.

"Because you're not real. All three of you are just a dream. And when I open my eyes, you'll be gone." He closed his eyes while I gestured to go behind him to make him think that we disappeared.

"We're still here, Max." Lavagirl said with an obvious tone. I saw Max jump and snickered to myself.

"If you wanna stop the darkness from destroying our worlds, then come with us." Sharkboy said, holding his fist towards him.

"You better go with them." I heard the teacher say as I gave him a nice smile.

"Okay...I'll go." Now that's what I want to hear, Max. I thought as we started running towards the rocket.
