"Hey, I'm Quint" said the stranger. He looked a lot like Jaster just a bit smaller and not as ripped. "You must be Tac and Yebba. I'm so excited for you guys to start training. Did my brother here tell you that I specialize in super powers?" as he said cheerfully. Yebba started to feel dizzy and her vision went blurry for a moment, she sat on the cold concrete floor. "Yebba?" asked Tac cautiously. "I'm fine I just need to sit for a moment," replied Yebba in a slightly slurred speech. Jaster went to go pick up Yebba, he told Quint to just give Tac a tour and he was going to bring Yebba to her room. He started walking as Yebba started to float away," Yebba could you stop that?" asked Jaster. "Stop what Jaster?" said a sleepy Yebba. Jaster replied," ugh I absolutely hate my full name, just call me Jas from now on. Anyway, can't you just control you flying?" "Not really sure how to, if you could enlighten me that would be great." said Yebba. Jaster replied," you'll have plenty of that to learn tomorrow." "Aww okay" she said frowning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"So." Said Quint, "Welcome to me and Jaster's home planet." "Thank you so much for taking us in here." Tac said as she smiled at Quint. "No problem, it's always a joy to have two beautiful young ladies staying here." Quint said with a smile. Tac blushed slightly as Quint continued "Let us start the tour shall we?" "Of course!" said Tac elbowing Quint in the side playfully.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Jas?" asked Yebba "Yeah?" He said looking down at her. "What's going to happen next, because I'm scared something is going to happen. I don't want to leave Tac," explained Yebba. Jaster replied,"you guys will be fine, well here's your room. You guys have changes a clothing enough food to last you for a while." "Okay! Will you stay with me until I fall asleep? I don't do well in new surroundings and I trust you," said Yebba with an embarrassing smile. Jaster just smiled and nodded. Yebba fell asleep on his chest. Jaster looked down smiling and brushed her hair out of her face. He walked back to find Tac and his brother, Quint, gone off on a tour. He buzzed Quint to see where he was.
Hey where are you -Jaster
Tac and I are in the Tech room ;) -Quint
Tell me when you leave. I need to do a few things. Have you talked to mom and dad yet about them? -Jaster
Not yet, but that's where we are going next. I'll arrange dinner and have Tac help me, we are going. -Quint
Awesome. We'll I gtg. See you and Tac at dinner ;) -Jaster
Jaster headed down to the Tech room to keep an on Yebba. She was sleeping quietly until she had a bad dream. She was tossing and turning until Jaster couldn't handle her being in pain any longer. He ran down to her room and knocked on her door,"Yebba? You okay?" A muffled voice came from behind the door,"yeah I'm fine. One second please." She opened the door wearing purple pajama shorts and a black tank top. Jaster came in and sat on her bed, she came and sat next to her. "So what's up Jas?" she said leaning her head on his shoulder. "Well my parents wanted to meet you guys, so Quint and I arranged a nice dinner for us." He said smilling. "What do I wear?" asked Yebba. "You'll look beautiful in anything..I...umm mean something nice." He said blushing. An hour later Jaster came back warring a black suit with a purple silk tie. He knocked on her door,"Yebba? Almost ready?" She opened the door wearing a long purple gown with a sweetheart neckline, and a bejeweled belt at the natural waist. "Wow! You look amazing. I'm speechless." He said as he looked her up and down. She blushed and said,"Hahaha thanks, you don't look too bad yourself." They walked down the hallway arms locked. They met up with Tac and Quint. "Well don't you two look great! Do I hear wedding bells anytime soon?" said Jaster's mother. "Mom!" said Jaster. "Haha what sweetheart? Sorry about that, I'm Quortavia Queen of Ballacelm. This is my Husband Chardewick King of Ballacelm. Pleased to meet you and Tac." said Quortavia. Tac and Yebba curtesy infront of the two. "Shall we dine?" asked Chardewick. Jaster lead Yebba to a seat near his father and pulled out the chair for her. "Thank you kind sir." said Yebba jokingly. The servants brought out the first course; it was a Caesar salad with an Avgolemono soup. They ate in silence until Queen Quortavia asked,"Yebba, may I talk to you in private for just a minute. Then you Tac. Thank you." Yebba got up out of her chair and followed the queen. "Yes your majesty?" asked a worried Yebba. "No need to be frightened, do you know why your are here?" Yebba answered honestly,"no mam, I heard something about our powers." "Yes, and since you both are just so beautiful, I sent Jaster to come get you. A term for ruler only lasts for 30 years. I have only about 3 months left, would you be willing to marry Jaster and continue the legacy?" she asked. "Well... Your son is amazing. I would be honored to, but I would have to ask Tac. I might just need a little more time before I marry your son" said Yebba. They walked out and the queen had the same conversation, but she asked Tac instead of ruling the planet, to rule a country on the planet. After dinner, Quint started to walk Tac to her room. "Thank you so much for the tour today, it was amazing!" Tac said. "No problem." Quint said. "I am glad that you could come. And Yebba looks better than she did after she got rest." "Yes she did." Tac said. "I was getting worried for her, but I think your brother's looks helped with the healing process." They both laughed as they walked in a big room. It was dimly lit, with a huge bed in the middle with about a million cushions. Tac gazed at the room with amazement. "W..Wow." She said shocked. "This is bigger than my room at home." She turned to Quint as she was about to thank him, but as she turned around, he gave her a hug. "It's no problem." He said quietly. He leaned in and kissed her forehead and walked out of the room with a goodnight. Tac stood there blushing and shocked, she could barely make out a reply.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jaster and Yebba walked back to her room holdings hands. She stopped in the middle of the hallway with wide eyes, "I..I can't see anything. Wait! Omg what is that!" "What? What's happening, Yebba you're having a vision. Calm down," said Jaster calmly. "Umm. So the Mechlavikz.. are umm well," Yebba starts sobbing," they have Tac and me, and... no they they just... nooo they.. They killed her!" she buries her face in his chest. "It's okay, you'll be okay. We are safe here." Jaster said as he was stroking her hair. "I'm scared Jas." Yebba said with a shaky voice. "You're okay, I promise. Come on you need some sleep." He said. "Will...will you stay with me? Please?" she asked. He just nodded and laid down next to her. She fell asleep on his chest and they finally rested in peace. The next morning Jaster and Quint got the girls up. They each handed them almost the same outfit; Tac got a black with teal accented long sleeve fitted shirt, but Yebba got a short sleeve fitted shirt that was black with purple accents. "You guys ready to see the place where you spend the next few weeks training?" said Quint excitedly. The girls nodded and smiled with anticipation. Jaster opened the door to a huge gym. In one part were gymnastics mats, another part was a boxing ring, in the third corner was a climbing wall, and in the last corner were treadmills and weight lifting equipment. "Woah," said the girls in unison. They were split up; Quint taking Tac over to the boxing ring, and Jaster taking Yebba to the gymnastics mats.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay first things first, powers are about focus when you are just starting to use them. Visualize yourself over in that corner. Have a picture of it in your mind," said Quint calmly. Tac breathed steadily, she focused on seeing herself in that corner. All of a sudden she flashed right over there. "I did it!" she exclaimed. He clapped for her and she bowed playfully. Wow, I thought this was going to be a lot harder -Quint "What? I didn't hear you?" asked Tac "I didn't say anything," said Quint. Can you hear my thoughts Tac? I think your other power is reading minds. -Quint. This is soooo cool -Tac You're so cool, I mean umm yeah it is so cool. I forget you can read my mind. -Quint. Tac smiled at the blushing Quint
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yebba, think of yourself as a feather. You weigh nothing, light as a feather. Stay focussed." said Jaster instructively. She began to float, but looked over at Tac to she was making a face at her. Yebba fell to the ground hitting her head hard,"ouch, and that's why we are on the mats." This continued for weeks, and the girls became closer and closer with the brothers. The last day of training came, the girls were instructed to fight each other. "Fight!" said Quint with a worried look on his face. Tac flashed a foot away from Yebba and threw a punch, but Yebba was too quick and caught the punch throwing Tac off balance. Yebba threw her legs under Tac's and knocked her to the floor. Tac quickly flashed up to another corner. Yebba had started flying and landed on Tac back pushing her down under the weight. Tac rolled over pinning Yebba to the floor. Yebba head butted Tac and stood up. Her eyes went wide and her body went rigid. Tac flashed over to throw a punch but Quint quickly stopped her. Jaster ran over to Yebba,"tell me what you see Yebs, it's okay." "I.. I see us, right now. I see your mother, she is on her bed, sick, with your father leaning over her crying and holding her hand. That's it everything is black," said Yebba. "Okay, umm... Quint stay here with Tac, me and Yebba are going to go check on mom. Okay?" said Jaster worried. "Okay," said Quint. Jaster and Yebba ran down to where the Queen's bedroom was. Jaster knocked on the door,"Mom! Are you in there?" The door was opened,"Hello Jaster, may I talk to you in private, please?" said the stranger. "Dr. Drenax, whatever you have to say to me, you have to say to her," said Jaster acknowledging Yebba. "Okay, well your mother has fallen ill. There is no . known cure and I have tried everything possible. I'm sorry." said the doctor. Jaster fell to floor and the doctor left. Yebba sat down next to him," Jas I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do?" asked Yebba. Jaster wiped away his tears,"I'm worried about my mom, I'm worried about the kingdom. My dad said after my mom died, he would retire. I don't know what to do," Yebba comforted him and told him about the conversation between her and the Queen. "Maybe that's what should do," said Jaster under his breath. "What?" asked Yebba. "Oh I just I was going to visit my mother," said Jaster with a quick recovery. "Do you want me to come?" asked Yebba. "No it's alright, could you go back to your room and get dressed in something fancy?" said Jaster. "Of course, see you soon." said Yebba giving Jaster a quick peck on the lips.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I wonder what's happening." said Tac sitting next to Quint. "You know what Jaster tole me a week ago?" said Quint. "What? Does it have something to do with Yebba?" asked Tac. "Well, Jas will kill me if he found out that I told you this but..." Quint said. "What what!" Tac said impatiently. "Now you are making me think that the world is going to end as we speak!" Tac said dramatically. "Ok ok well Jaster is going to propose to Yebba later." Quint said with a smile. Tac looked surprised for a moment but then suddenly slapped Quint. "Why didn't you tell me this!! I am her best friend I deserve to know!! I could've helped plan......" Tac gets carried away with ranting as Quint gives a little smile and chuckles at her. Quint grabs her shoulders and turns her around. "Hey I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Quint said in a not so serious tone. "I know, it's just that it is all happening so fast. She is like my little sister sometimes and I just feel a little protective sometimes." Tac said with a slight smile." "I know exactly how you feel." Quint said. "I had almost the exact same reaction when Jas told me." Tac looked up into his bright eyes and suddenly felt herself blushing. Quint leaned in closer as their lips met. There was a sound and the door burst open. Jas was standing in the doorway looking slightly dumbfounded. "I didn't think I left you guys here for that long, but I'm just about to go get Yebba." he said winking at. Quint. They broke the kiss and Tac wiped her lips as she lowered her eyes and blushed wildly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yebba paces nervously in her bedroom. "Hmm, he said something fancy, sooo....wow look at at this! I think this will be perfect," said Yebba to herself. She pulled out a black gown, that had a sweet heart neckline and one shouldered see through sleeve. It was fitted at the waist with beads and lace, and she found some silver heels that matched perfectly. She straightened her dirty long blonde hair, and did a smoky eye look with dark red lipstick. There was a knock on her door,"Yebba? You ready?" asked a muffled voice. "Yeah one second!" she yelled back. Yebba opened the door to Jaster wearing a black suit with a silver polyester tie. "Wow..I mean wow... You look... umm amazing," said Jaster speechless,"Ready to go m'lady?" he said continuing. "Well thank you kind sir, and where is our destination on this fine evening?" Yebba asked. "It's a surprise, if you don't mind wearing this please." Jaster said as he handed her a blind fold and kissed her lightly on the lips. She giggled and took his hand, the two walked in silence until Yebba heard a voice,"Mr. Jaster? Right this way." He led Yebba to a table and helped her sit down,"Okay, take off your blindfold!" The table was lined with rose petals and a white linen. There were candles as the centerpiece, and a Caesar salad for each of them. "Jas... I don't know what to say," she said looking around amazed at the scenery. "Well can I ask you something? Before you say anything?" he said getting down on one knee. "Yebba, since the first time I saw you, you were the prettiest girl I have ever seen. Will you do me the honors of making me the happiest man in the world? Yebba Zanchorive, will you marry me?" he said trying to figure out her expression. "Jas, you went through all this trouble for me? I mean yes! Of course!" She stood up and leaned down to kiss him. She smiled into the kiss which made him blush.
