ENERGY

Chapter 23

Robbie and Alexander were at the library, looking at books.

"Thank you for inviting me to the library, Alex." Robbie said. "You know, I didn't think you liked the library."

Alexander opened up a book.

"Yeah, yeah yeah.. I like it.." he said. "But I'm not nerdy over it like you."

Robbie frowned, and placed a book in his lap.

"You come here just to look at comic books, huh?" He said. "Well, if you can QUIETLY read those, I can enjoy myself too." He opened up a book (which was not a comic book), and began to read it.

(Yes, comic books do sort of exist in Energvillia.)

Alexander covered his mouth to try and hold in his laugh. He saw something funny in the book, and he really wanted to laugh loudly.

"Oh..Robbie.." Alexander said, removing his hand from mouth. "You have to start reading comic books! They are so funny and entertaining!"

Robbie just rolled his eyes.

"You need to quiet down.." he said. "This is a library, remember?"

Alexander frowned. "Come on, I wasn't that loud!" He said. "I can be WAY louder than that!"

Robbie looked up from his book.

"You can, but you would get kicked out." He said. "And you wouldn't like that, would you? You would have to stop reading your little comic books."

Alexander glared at him, and slammed his book down on the table.

"You wanna fight me, pretty boy?" He said.

Robbie slowly stood up.

"Oh, I never said that.." he said. "But if you really want me to.. then let's take this outside."

Alexander stood up, and stomped towards the exit.

"YEAH, YEAH, AND YOU'LL GET BEATEN DOWN!!" he yelled, completely forgetting that he was in a library.

John had finished his work out, and he was sipping on an ice cold glass of water that Frostina had made him.

"Thank you so much for the water, Frostina." He said. "Really cools me down, and it's really helpful that you can make ice cubes with your powers."

Frostina smiled at him.

"You're welcome, John." She said. "And.. I can make other things like.. shredded ice if you're ever in the mood for a snowball."

"Bet Oliver would like that too." John said while grinning. "Can you make it snow too?"

Frostina laughed and picked up John's empty cup from the table.

"I don't know, because I never tried." She said. "Do you need anything else? Another cup of water?"

John shook his head.

"Nope, I'm good, thank you." He said. "By the way..I got a question."

Frostina pulled up a chair next to him.

"Yeah? What is it?" She said.

"Do uh.. people with Energys have a weakness?" John asked.

Frostina rubbed her chin. "Hmm..let's see.." she said. "Oh yeah! They do have weaknesses, including me!"

She cleared her throat.

"Some of these weaknesses make sense, some don't." She said. "So, me first... my weakness is heat. If I were to stand outside on a burning hot sunny day, I will become extremely ill."
