They've tried that for a few times, it wasn't that easy, because they had to do measurements and a lot of things more than that. Now, Andy walked, taking another five steps forward. Still, Cassie was there, appearing and reappearing her bubble time by time. He tried to shout, and he looked like he was really shouting as loud as he could.

It was finally done. She could hear his voice yelling for his name completely. There was an outburst from her suddenly, she ran towards Andy and was pulled into a tight hug. Andy grinned, he felt her excitement and happiness inside. He was happy for her, even though jealousy to her powers tried to invade his thoughts.  

"Now I know." She said when she let go of the hug. "Know what?" He still asked, even though he knew the answer. "That I could block anything! Even sounds, Andy. Sounds. Just a bit near, and it's all heard." She gave a look of arrogance. "I'm invincible." She added, closing her eyes, feeling the power all around her. "Who knows mine is five times stronger than yours."

"Make it ten times, Andy." She beamed. "Ten times." He agreed. "By the way, have you been practicing?" She folded her arms. "Practicing what?" He really needs more information. "Well, you know. Trying to know what you power is." She shrugged a bit.

"Just this day." He replied. "I believe in you." Her eyes flickered a flashing hope. "Yeah, of course you do. Thanks."  

"Why won't we try right now?" She asked, and that made Andy happier. "Can't we?" He raised an eyebrow. "But, how? I don't and can't know." He lips got longer, got slightly frustrated. "Me neither. But, we should try." She said emphasizing the last word.

"Let's try if you inherited your mother's. She could track anyone, right?"

He nodded. "Then, all you have to do is think very, very deeply. And most importantly, focus." She said. She watched as he closed his eyes slowly. After two minutes, his eyebrows began meeting. "I think you just have to focus to know your ability." Cassie guessed. "I hope so." Andy murmured. "Could you feel anything inside your body?" She asked, really desperate to ask anything that was necessary. Didn't care if it would make sense. "Is anything painful there inside?" She asked right after she spoke. She wouldn't stop talking. "Yeah," he replied, still eyes were closed. "I could feel something coming out somewhere here inside and it's painful. It's painful!" He replied, then winced in pain shouting the second statement.

"Try to be mad!" She yelled. "Think of something you really, really hate." She told him, what was the connection of her first guesses between the second? She was thinking far deep. "It could be worms. You hate worms, don't you? Try to imagine that it's all over your dinner plate." She told him with a stutter. She shook her head, then slapped her face.

"No, that'll make you feel disgusted." She said that at the same time Andy was already grimacing. "Maybe. Maybe imagine that your loved ones are going to be executed. Oh, that's a bit humorous." She stopped herself from speaking. She was panicking.

"Seriously, just please think of extreme violence to us!" She raised her voice. His eyebrows wrinkled more, including his whole face now. And it was growing a bit red, he was gone mad. She looked at the ground, absorbing the thought that she was funnily trying anything for him. She put her hands at the both sides of her face, then looked around. "What am I doing?" She asked herself. It was when she noticed something that moved, she sensed that it moved so quickly, so suddenly...

The garbage can moved. "What the.." She walked to see it. "What just happened?" Andy suddenly asked, catching his breath a few times, as if he got tired of something. She stared at the can, narrowing her eyes. "This garbage can just moved." She pointed at it sluggishly. Andy gave a confused look. "Excuse me?" He asked, haven't got the point yet. "This thing moved. You moved it." She grinned. His head moved a bit, eyebrows raised, he gave a look of disbelief at the same time, astounded.

"Are you serious? I really didn't anticipate for that to happen." He shook his head. Cassie laughed. "Nobody did, Andy. Nobody. But, can you do it again for me?" She requested. Andy looked both at his sides, she didn't know the reason why. "I don't know if I still could. But, we have to try." He told her, closing his eyes once again. She took a quick glance at him, then went back to the garbage can. Andy was focusing eventually, his voice producing a sound that was struggling.

She gazed at the object, excited about what would happen next. Then, it suddenly moved, going in front of her feet. She gasped, grinning as she covered her mouth. "Unbelievable, Andy." Cassie half-whispered looking at him with joy.

He opened his eyes quickly. "Whoa." He whispered to himself. He lifted his both hands, gazed at it. "I have freaking cool powers." He said. "It's telekinesis." Cassie suddenly said, but it was too quiet. "What was that again?" He asked him, he was acting like a superior now, intentionally. He was aware of that, but did it for humor. "You call that telekinesis, dude."

She was smiling at him, she felt genuinely happy for her best friend. She didn't lose hope for him, because she could feel that there was a special gift for him, it was just hidden. Now, it was finally discovered. He suddenly moved the garbage can, it was so fast and sudden that Cassie definitely reacted. She got shocked, backed a few steps away and almost lost her balance.

"This is incredible!" He cheered, jumped. "You surprised me, Andy." She scowled at him. "Sorry." He snickered, but stopped quickly when he caught himself. "Let's try something even more incredible." Cassie smirked. "And what will that be, miss?"

"Why won't we do our abilities at the same time?"
