A week has gone by and the training continued. It is now early morning. The sound of an airplane approaching had awakened Quint, Shay, and Lucas. They all rose up and looked toward the noise. Mary walked up behind them as she was already up training. "Is that plane coming here?" asked Quint.
"It surely is," answered Mary.
"I hope it's bringing supplies! I want a real meal!" complained Shay.
"I just hope it's here to take us home. We've been working too hard here," replied Lucas while staring at the approaching plane.
"Quit your complaining! I don't train complainers!" shouted Mary while making a fist and directing it towards Shay and Lucas as if she could hit them at any moment. Shay and Lucas looked away, terrified of what Mary happen if Mary had decided to hit them. "The plane is bringing another person that'll be training here also," said Mary.
The plane landed and Quint and company were there to see who would be getting off of it. The door to the plane opened and a girl stepped out. She was 5'3, brown skin, curly hair that fell upon her shoulders, and had a thick build. "She's cute!" thought Quint as he smiled and looked at her. Her gaze came upon Quint. He stared at her as she returned the stare. Quint began smiling and thinking "She likes me?" She then frowned at him and said "What are you looking at?!" Quint was shocked at what came out of her mouth. Shay and Lucas laughed at what she said. She turned and faced them and said "What are you laughing about?! I don't want you two love birds looking at me either." Shay instantly became angry and stared at the girl intensely. The girl locked eyes with Shay with the same degree of intensity. Quint and Lucas backed away cause they could feel the tension in the air swelling between Shay and the girl.
"Hey, Simone, here!" said Mary as she handed Simone a candy bar, Thurs breaking the tension. Simone grabbed it and ate it like she was starving. "Is that better?" asked Mary. Simone nodded with a smile. Quint, Lucas, and Shay were surprised by Simone's change in demeanor. She was much more relaxed and didn't look mean at all. "Now introduce yourself!" commanded Mary. Simone stood at attention and said "My name is Simone Flores. It is nice to meet you all."
"Did her personality just do an 180?" thought Quint. "Who is this chick?!" asked Shay. "She's a student of mine and she's here to train just like you," answered Mary. "I've never seen her before," replied Lucas. Quint continues to stare at her, admiring her looks and change in personality. She looks at him and smiles at him. "They look at each other like how me and John did when we first met," thought Mary.
"What is your name Cutie?" asked Simone. Quint instantly blushed because he knew she was referring to him. "Ummm.. My name is Quinton Tate," he replied. "I like that name! You look like a nice boy," says Simone with a smile and blushing. Quint began to blush even more. Lucas interrupted and said "I'm Lucas Montgomery. Nice to meet you." Shay continued to stare at her and thought, "Is she a mental case or something?" "Introduce yourself, Shay!" commanded Mary. Shay rolled her eyes and said "I'm Shay Tate, Quint's younger sister." Simone smiled at the greeting. Mary had explained the exercise regiment to Simone and she quickly joined Quint, Shay, and Lucas.
As they run around the island, Shay thought, "She can keep up with us? She might actually be pretty good." Shay had slowed down while pounding about Simone. Mary appeared and shocked her for it. "Ouch!" yelled Shay. Simone laughed at her, causing her to slow down also. "Stay focused!" said Mary as she shocked Simone. Simone hit the ground. Quint and Lucas turned to each other and
laughed and kept their speed. Their face then turned serious. "Who can finish their laps first?" asked Lucas.
"Is that a challenge?" responded Quint.
"Of course, unless you're too chicken to accept," answered Lucas. They both instantly took off.
Quint and Lucas are reaching through the island, neither one giving the other an edge. "You're not going to win this one Lucas!" said Quint. Flames sprouted from Quint's feet, boosting his speed. He quickly separated from Lucas. "Oh, so we're using our powers now?! Ok!" said Lucas as he moved his hand in an upward motion and the ground shot up from under Quint, launching him into the air. While in the air, Quint blasted the pillar of stone to pieces. Lucas is now ahead of Quint. Quint landed on the ground and started running again and quickly caught up to Lucas. They are now shoulder to shoulder approaching Shay and Simone quickly. They started at each other without paying any attention to what's going on outside of their face. "What are those idiots doing?! They're going to smash right into is!" shouted Shay. Just before they ran into Shay and Simone, they began floating in midair.
Quint and Lucas are looking bewildered. Shay stared at Simone. Simone's eyes glowed purple as she held her hand up in Lucas and Quint's direction. It had became apparent to then that Simone was the cause of this.
"You have telekinesis?!" asked Quint while still floating in the air. "Correct! I'm a Psychic!" answered Simone with a big smile. "That's awesome!" said Lucas, still in the air. Shay folded her arms and said "It's not that impressive." Simone placed Lucas and Quint back on the ground. "If you're not impressed," said Simone while looking determined, "Then look at this!" Simone turned towards the water and closed her eyes. A few seconds later she opened them and they were pink again. The water began to trust in it's center and then appeared a whale. It was held high into the sky by Simone's psychic powers. "Whoa," said Shay, Lucas, and Quint. "I hope you're impressed now!" said Simone.
