It was the banging of the trailer door that caused the two girls to break apart. They didn't let go of each other, each holding onto the other as if for dear life; their kiss however was broken though Cheryl and Toni both had no doubt that they would be back at it again soon.
Toni looked into Cheryl's eyes and saw the small flicker of the bright orange color within them, it was faint, but there nonetheless. Toni was starting to realize that Cheryl's powers would flare up whenever she got a little too emotional, which also explained why her skin was a little hotter than normal. The pink haired girl knew that Cheryl would learn to control this and it was only because she didn't have the experience with powers that the others had. She had only had the ability to use them for less than a day and Toni could always make a shield around herself in case Cheryl lost control, though Toni always knew that the red haired girl would be careful.
"Sweetpea is back," Cheryl said, her breath hit Toni's face. They were still only a few inches apart, each looking the other in the eye.
Toni had to admit, when she was Cheryl looked amazing. The red hair fit her like nothing else ever could and made her look powerful and commanding. She was finally standing at her full height, Toni notice that she was normally slouched just a little bit, but now she stood straight without any hunch at all, "I know," Toni replied, a little out of breath and taken aback by Cheryl who had somehow switched their positions so that she had Toni pushed against the wall, the complete opposite of how it was when they first started making out.
Cheryl smirked, "Well, shouldn't we go show him what's different," She said with a flip of her now red hair. She spoke with more confidence then she had before, almost as if just knowing that she had a power made her stronger even if she hadn't really used it much. Just the fact that she did have one was giving her strength, she could prove her strength later if she did have to use her power.
"Guys, I'm back!" the voice of Sweetpea yelled, "I brought Kevin and Fangs," he added a few seconds later as more footsteps filled the trailer.
"Cheryl?!" Kevin called out, "I assume your awake,"
Toni looked at Cheryl, almost as if she was asked for approval for her to leave the room and speak to the others. When Cheryl gave her a look in return that said she wanted her to stay with her, Toni said, "I wanna give them a little warning about the hair,"
Cheryl huffed, "Fine," She said, pouting a little bit as she let Toni leave, "but your making it up to me later, you understand,"
Toni walked back over to Cheryl and planted a small kiss on the red haired girl's lips before walked out again. As she left she said, "Of course Bombshell,"
The pink haired girl walked into the main area of the trailer where Sweetpea was putting away from groceries while Kevin and Fangs helped out. Sweet Pea saw her first, "How's Cheryl doing?" He asked, his voice sensor and full of worry. It was rare for Toni to see him like this because he never really allowed himself to create connections with anyone else, but for some reason he had allowed himself to grow to care about Cheryl. It was nice for Toni to see.
Toni smiled a knowing smile, "She woke up right after you left," She said, hardly containing the full blown grin that was fighting to make an appearance her face.
Kevin had a worried look written on his face, "Is she ok? Can I heal her?" He asked.
Toni nodded, "She's good, in fact she's in the trailer right now," Kevin cut her off, by running through the trailer to find his friend.
It was clear that the Keller was not going to wait for Toni to tell him about the transformation that his friend had gone through so he was about to see her without any warning. Toni panicked at first, but realized that no matter how slowly they broke the news about Cheryl's red hair it was still going to cause a lot of shocks. Secretly Toni was happy that Kevin had just run off to find Cheryl, she didn't really have any idea how she was going to explain that the whole situation to the rest of the group.
Two screams filled the trailer, prompting Sweetpea and Fangs to try to run towards them, but Toni stopped up by creating a shield before they could leave, "It's fine," She said, "you'll see,"
They nodded in understanding as they stood down and waited for Kevin to return.
. . .
Kevin dashed through the small trailer, looking for Cheryl. He was full of worry and fear of the girl and wanted nothing more than to heal her wounds and help her to get better. He slammed into someone as he looking in the rooms that he passed. They fell to the ground, falling forward while Kevin himself fell backwards and hit the hallway floor.
The person, a red haired girl with a strikingly familiar voice screamed when he first made contact with her, "Watch it Kev," she said as she turned around and let him see her face.
Kevin looked up in complete and utter shock as he came face to face with the very girl that he was looking for. She had some cuts of her face and a large smile on her face, a very familiar and kind smile that Kevin had missed. The healer screamed as he finally took in Cheryl's new features, mainly the bright red hair, but the slightly glowing eyes as well. The color in the eyes seemed to be fading, but the hair had most of his attention, "Holy shit!" he yelled out as he launched himself at Cheryl, pulling her into the tightest hug that he could manage. He activated his healing powers and quickly healed up all of Cheryl's wounds, allowing him to take in her unblemished face for the first time in while, "You look amazing," He whispered into her ear as he refused to let her go.
Cheryl hugged him back, but eventually forced her way out of his grasp and pulled both of them to their feet, "Thank you," She said kindly, not really sure what to say next. Then again, what do you tell your friend after your hairs turns red, it's not something that hardly any people have to go through.
Kevin smiled as Cheryl pulled both of them to their feet and stood at her full height, "I have several questions though," he said.
Cheryl nodded in understanding, "I thought you might," She said, "Lets go see everyone else first so I don't have to explain several times over,"
This time it was Kevin who nodded. The brown haired boy grabbed Cheryl hand and started to drag to over to the main room where everyone was most certainly waiting for them. He noticed how the glow from Cheryl's eyes had completely faded by now and other then the red hair she looked as she always had.
. . .
It took a while to calm everyone down after they first saw Cheryl, though Toni was incredibly thankful there was no negative reactions to any part of the change. It was something that Toni was worried about because with the red hair, Cheryl really did look like a Blossom and she worried about the Blossom hating Serpent's were going to take it. So far, Sweetpea and Fangs had only been supportive and happy for Cheryl, showing no hate whatsoever.
When Sweetpea first saw Cheryl, he let out a laugh, not a mean one a happy one, and smiled larger than he had in a long time. He was overjoyed, though Toni did not truly know why just yet. Fangs had reacted a little similar to Kevin had, at least according to Cheryl he had.
Once the two girls had gotten everyone calmed down, Toni handed the floor over to Cheryl to explain because after all it was something she had earned. Cheryl had a big smile on her face when she announced to everyone, "So I'm pyrokinetic,"
"I'm sorry and that means," Fangs said, leaving the ending open for Cheryl to fill it in and give the full explanation.
"Oh sorry," She said, realizing that the boys might not be as well versed in the names for things like this, "I can control fire and for some reason it turned my hair this color,"
Kevin jumped up again and hugged Cheryl once more, "I'm so happy for you!" He yelled, "This explains last night," he said as he released Cheryl and turned to everyone else.
Cheryl looked at everyone in confusion, clearly she did not remember what happened the night before and if she did, it wasn't much. Toni was the first to catch onto her confusion, "Last night," Toni started, holding onto Cheryl's hand with her own, "Your skin was burning hot, it burned Fangs and we couldn't touch you without getting burned ourselves,"
Instantly Cheryl pulled Fangs into a hug, "Sorry I burned you," She said, apologizing for something that she did not have any control over. Toni smiled, admiring how kind the girl she cared for so much was so kind and loving to everyone.
The serpent boy hugged Cheryl back, patting her back in a brotherly way, "Its ok Cheryl," he said, showing just as much kindness as Cheryl had, "you didn't have any control over your powers, besides I had Kevin to heal me so I was just fine," Fangs held Kevin's hand when he said his boyfriends name, pulling him close.
"Oh,wow," Cheryl said, finally seeming to take in the fact that she had powers, "My powers, I can't believe I actually have powers,"
Toni smield, pulling Cheryl close and holding onto her waist, "Oh you got powers Bombshell," She said, "Believe it,"
The pair stared into each others eyes, seemly lost in the moment; each marveling at the other's beauty. They acted as if they were in their own little world that was completely separate and away from the others. It was like they were obvious as to what was going on around them, to be specific the reactions of the people around them.
Kevin started to smile boldy, laughing a little as he spoke, "You totally made out didn't you,"
