"I fall in love with boys I see on a TV screen
The ones in books who are as perfect as they can be
I spend all of my time imagining
What it would be like if they existed
My parents tell me I should look for one in real life
But I get let d...

"I'm here"
There was always a second in my mind I wish I didn't have powers. But at the same time, I loved my powers I just never knew how to control them. There was a time when I was 'allowed' to practice my powers and freely use especially during fights. That was until the day Five decided he wanted to time travel.
The day that changes my life forever...
...
"Five you know he will say no, he always does" I comment as I help Five with his tie. We were in his room talking about what we believe we are truly capable of.
Then as he was fixing himself in the mirror he talked about asking Dad to try and time travel. I of course scoffed and walked over and that's when I started to fix his tie "Come on Ophelia I'm ready I know I am."
I drop my hands from his tie as he looks down at me "Five no. Just no."
"What you don't think I'm ready" He clenches his jaw in frustration
"It's not that, it's just you don't know what could happen if you jump. What if you jump and get stuck? What then. I don't want to lose you like that Five." I sigh and look down at the floor for a moment humming a small tune in my head not quite letting the words come out but it's enough for light to show on my fingers.
Five looks from my face to my hands then reaches down and takes my hand into his. I look up slowly watching as he runs his hands over my hand "You won't lose me." He sighs "You have to wonder. What more can you do..."
"I know what I can do" I comment and let my glow fade "I just don't want to fully explore it"
"You don't want to or he won't let you?"
Before I can answer we are called to dinner "We will talk about this later"
...
We were all gathered around the dining table. I was sitting next to Five as always but today the typical silence seemed to bother him as he slams a knife down into the table catching fathers attention "Number Five?"
Five looks over at Father interlocking his fingers together as everyone else including me worries "I have a question"
Father keeps cutting his food while Mother stands behind him "Knowledge is an admirable goal. But you know the rules no talking during mealtimes. You are interrupting Herr Carlson"
Five ignores what father is saying "I want to time travel"
"No"
"But I'm ready. I've been practicing my spatial jumps, just like you said" Five gets up from his chair and I look up at him worried and reach out and grab his hand but he pulls away and jumps over to father "See"
