Life ain't fair. Deal with it.

I step off the stone floor over the tunnel. As I float myself up through the tunnel to the second level, I think gigglingly that this must look pretty damn cool. I extend my arms out to the sides for maximum lantern effect. I think about how the light shining from the tunnel alone would look neat from the outside. I think about anything except what I'm doing because just what the hell am I doing.

I float out of the mouth of the tunnel and back a bit to come to rest just behind its gaping maw in the floor, facing the mouth of the cave with my arms still extended holding the lanterns. The two cops are staring at me open-mouthed from outside the cave. My friend is standing just inside the mouth with her back to me. She turns around and gives a start at seeing me, but I can tell she doesn't realize that I've suddenly appeared behind her without any normal way to arrive there. One of the things I like about her is that she's fairly level-headed.

I realize that she must be like me somehow, whatever that is, and that must be an unconscious reason I'm drawn to her. She must not have realized her potential yet either and oh yes that old man did seem to be looking at her curiously too, but she managed to put him off permanently somehow. I wish I knew how she did that. At the same time though, now we'll need to find him again. I suddenly have a few million questions I'd like answered.
