"A dead flower?" Max asks.

"Cole gave it to me." Phoebe says.

"Wow. he's a keeper." I say from my spot on the couch.

"Cole didn't do this. I accidentally burned it with my heat breath. Isn't that weird?" Phoebe asks.

"Yeah, but it happened to you so I don't care." Max says then freezes his sandwich.

"Now I care." Max says. "Emergency family meeting!" dad says coming down the stairs.

"Everyone in the living room now." mom says.

"This is not a drill." Dad says and Billy and Nora come into the living room with Billy covered in dirt.

"He's fine. I only buried him up to his neck." Nora says.

"I wanted to know what a plant feels like." Billy says.

"Achilles comment is back." mom says and I put my phone down.

"The Achilles comet?" Phoebe asks.

"That's terrible!" Max says.

"Oh, no." Billy says.

"You don't know what the Achilles comet is, do you?" dad asks.

"No idea." phoebe says.

"Beats me." Max says.

"Not a clue." Billy says.

"Its a comet that messes with the earths magnetic field and causes our superpowers to go wonky." I say.

"What does wonky mean?" Billy asks when he runs into the door.

"That's what wonky means." I say.

"Got it." Billy says and slides down the door.


"Why do I have to stay like this? My face is too close to dad's butt cushion." Billy says.

"How do you think the cushion feels?" i ask.

"We just never know when your super speed might..." mom says and gets cut off by Billy's legs speeding.

"Do that." mom finishes.

"We could always put him back in the hole." Nora says.

"There it is, the Achilles comet. Its path is unpredictable, but now that it's close to earth, we can track it." dad says.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Is that a new remote?" Max asks and I roll my eyes.

"I just got it yesterday. You can program it to run the DVD player or--" dad says but I interrupt him.

"Dad, can you play with your little toy later?" I ask.

"Its not a toy. Look how red and spongy the buttons are." dad says.

"I know. I just want to push them." Max says.

"Hello! Giant comet speeding past Earth doing weird things to our powers." Phoebe says.

"No comets gonna mess with my powers." Nora says and she starts lasering the place.

"Hot stuff here we go!" max says.

"I cant stop it!" Nora says.

"Hit the deck." dad says and him and max get down.

"Duck." phoebe says.

"Ah, my foot!" dad says and crushes the remote.

"Ah, my remote." dad says.

"Whoa! stop it." Phoebe says.
