"Riding down, riding down. My hand on your seat, The whole way round." My soft voice lightly echoed around the room as I lay on my stomach in the middle of my bedroom's cool wood floor. I was typing on my computer while quietly singing to myself. 

"I carry band-aids on me now, for when your soft hands hit the jagged ground." My fingertips tingled as a faint golden glow shrouded from my chest, I typed a few more words onto my laptop before my head was clouded with the song. 

"Wheels aren't even touching the ground. Scared to take them off but they're so worn down." I rolled onto my back before pushing myself up as the golden glow surrounded my palms very faintly. Gold wisps travelled over to a music box on my dresser allowing music notes to play into the air, some wisps turning into pictures of a little girl teaching a boy how to ride a bike. 

"Promise I won't push you straight to the dirt if you promise me you'll take them off first." The girl let go of the boy as he rode around and away from her, she stood there watching him with a small smile on her face until the scene changed. 

"Love everything you do, when you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do." The boy laughed at the girl who tripped on a tree root in a forest, she looked up before laughing too. Both of them so innocent to the world around them.

 "I wanna ride my bike with you. Fully undressed, no training wheels left for you. I'll pull them off for you." The girl rode along beside the boy down the side of a beach, a goofy smile on the boys face as they laughed. 

"Love everything you do, when you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do. I wanna ride my bike with you, fully undressed, no training wheels left for you, I'll pull them off for you." A scene with the boy and girl, both a few years older, laying in a meadow played out around me. The girl yelped as the boy jumped up to tickle her, making her laugh and squirm away.

 
"Letting go, letting go. Telling you things you already know. I explode, I explode, asking you where you want us to go." The girl was walking through a hallway when she saw the boy with another girl, she was leaning on him and twirling her hair as the boy smiled at her. The boy looked up and saw the young girl and seemed to panic, trying to run after her but was held back by the other girl as his friend ran away. The girl found a tree with an old swing on it and sat down as tears ran down her face. 

"You've been riding two wheelers all your life, it's not like I'm asking to be your wife. I wanna make you mine, but that's hard to say. Is this coming off in a cheesy way?" The girl continued to cry as rain began to fall around her, but none hit her as she stayed completely dry. She opened her eyes and looked down sorrowfully as her eyes became black. 

"Love everything you do, when you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do. I wanna ride my bike with you, fully undressed, no training wheels left for you. I'll pull them off for you." Small memories of the two friends played as the girl wept. The two meeting, the boy standing up for her, her coming over to his house for a play date. Every small memory played around me before I began to sing again. 

"Love everything you do, when you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do. I wanna ride my bike with you, fully undressed, no training wheels left for you. I'll pull them off for you." The boy was looking around frantically for the girl, he couldn't find her and with the rain beating down on him be didn't think he would find her. He had one more place to look, only one other place he could think of her going to. He walked down a narrow path before coming upon the tree with the lonely swing with the girl sitting upon it.

 
"Love everything you do, when you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do. I wanna ride my bike with you, fully undressed, no training wheels left for you. I'll pull them off for you." He smiled and walked towards her before stopping a feet in front of her. She stood up quickly and looked down, finding much interest in her shoes until a gentle hand tilted her head up. The boy smiled at her before kissing her gently. 

"Love everything you do, when you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do. I wanna ride my bike with you, fully undressed, no training wheels left for you. I'll pull them off for you." The last image bursts into golden specs before raining down on the floor like a firework falling from the sky. I'm going to miss this, using my magic. I'm going to spend a month with my cousin which means I have to keep my magic a secret. I can't tell her about solving the Skasis Paradigm either. At least I don't have to worry about aliens trying to take over the world while I'm there, right?
