Superpower

Lunita

Ihad to go back.

My special place had never felt so good.

Mean old lion. . .do it again.

Was it wicked to go back twice in one night?

Emily was already mad at me and thinking she could change us. I didn’t want to make her break another mirror.

She’s still sleeping.

I didn’t have to go back and be bad.

I could be good.

Maybe no one is up.

Excitement bubbled through me as I thought of Emilio and Paolo.

I could see them.

Then, I wouldn’t be bad.

I would be good.

Yes. Let’s go.

I stood on the edge of the roof and took all the flowers out of my hair. Petals and stems fell all around me, spilling over the edge.

Now. Think. Real hard.

Swapping into Emily was like. . . I was a regular person changing into a superhero costume.

I had the power to become someone else, while still being me.

What else could that be, but a superpower?

Cold wind rushed past my face.

I closed my eyes and concentrated as hard as I could.

Begin.

Buzzing things surged through my body.

It started off with this floaty feeling as if I had jumped off the roof, but didn’t fall.

I was the feather caught in the breeze.

I was the boat sailing away from the harbor, getting ready to start a big adventure.

I moved through the place where Emily’s dreams lived and headed to where my dreams came alive.
