I smiled at Nick, and walked over to where he was holding the food crates.

"You sure you want me helping, after the last disater I tried to cook?" I half smiled at him, and he returned it. I tore off the lids to the wooden crates like they were paper, and placed them beside the box.

"You can try anyway." Nick smiled again at me. There was something incredibly likeable about Nick that I couldn't put my finger on. I admired him, and the fact he was able to keep the whole entorage together.

Codie flipped the pancakes onto plates I was holding, and I passed them out to the rest of the group with polite nodds. I tried not to notice Codie as she worked, but it wasn't easy. She was beautiful. All of the girls in the circus were. And therefore they were impossible to talk to.

After everyone had a plate, I took a seat next to Adam. We had maintained a friendly relationship since I had come across the circus, and I had a decent amount of respect for him. There was something about him that unnerved me and kept me from truly trying to develop a friendship with him. I was uncomftorable with the fact he could litterally get inside my head.

I nodded my hello, "How are you?"

`Mornings, my favorite time of the day. Having telekinesis, I always have to get up really early to help unload. But being with this freakshow, the quietest time of the day is the morning, once you get past the groaning. After helping unload the boxes while sitting down, I heard Nick yell something about pancakes. I slowly put down what was sitting in mid air, and rushed to start making my pancakes.

I pressed down on the pancake maker, waiting impatiently. I'd much rather have waffles, but at least it was food right? I halfway smiled at Wist, knowing him, I didn't know when i would see him next. I flipped my pancake , waited until it was a golden brown color on the bottom and moved it to my plate with telekinesis, not wanting to get burned. I sat down next to Wist and ate my pancakes in silence , thinking about my next act.

Aylia- Firebreather

As we all sang the song I looked around. As usual I was ready to pick a fight with Nick, and he warily watched me out of the corner of his eye. He used to be nice to me, but I hated him and the sight of him was repulsive.

When the pancakes were ready Nick put them on a paper plate and brought them around for all of us to take. When he offered me some I did what Adam normally did; surveying him up and down like he was just a piece of property. It worked and he moved away quickly.

Adam, who was eating pancakes, moved over next to me. I was leaning against the van, which was cold in the Washington air. "Sooner or later he'll get rid of you. Then what will you do?," Adam advised. I'd always sort of admired him in a messed up way. And he was right. Sadly.

Victoria- ice controller.

I walked out of the camper thingy and made my way to the pancakes, pushing the shaper down to cook. I looked around, I there was a firebreather, pretty cool talent. But if she breathed fire on me I would seriously freeze her.

I kept gazing around, my eyes met with a guy that had super strength. Yeah, he could take me on quickly. I've never been "Strong" and never will be but maybe he xould teach me a few tricks in the process.

I continued to look for more people and trying to sense what their power was. My eyes slipped past a girl that can become invisible and has telikenisis. Thats cool. I've never met someone with that power before. It was truly interesting actually. The pancakes were done so I took them out and threw them on my plate and leaned against the trailor.

Nick, teleporter,

As the pancakes are made, everyone settles down around the field, talking and laughing. Well, except for Kili and Aylia, who just glare at me. They both hate me, though I've never figured out why, exactly. I don't even know why they hang with the Circus. I mean, if they hate me so much, why not just leave? Well, I don't really care. They can stay or leave, up to them. For now though, I just want to eat my pancakes and get on with my life. We've still got to set up the tents and fence and put up posters in the nearby town. According to my map, it's a place called Sunnyside. Glancing up at the grey sky, I snort. Yeah, right.
And then there's this new girl, Vicky, or something. She just popped out of nowhere and started talking to me. I sigh. I've gotten used to things like that happening. When you're like us, it happens all the time, and other teens with abilities are just drawn to the Circus like moths to a flame. So much power in one place is like a magnet.
I get some pancakes and wander around for a minute before sitting down next to Asher and Mitzi.

"'Sup," I mumble, taking a bite. Asher opens her mouth to say something, but I suddenly feel someone poking around in my head, looking for a way in. I narrow my eyes and turn around.

"Kili," I snap, "Stop it, or I'll teleport you to the bottom of the ocean, I swear."

Kili, small, blonde, and with an evil grin on her face, sniggers.

"Whatever, Nick," she says, almost sweetly, and then stalks away.


Kili, controls emotions,

Damn it. Everyone has mental blocks up. I can't get into any of their minds. Honestly, you'd think that some of them would have their guards down. Especially Nick, with his "I-trust-everyone-and-let's-be-happy-together" attitude. Ha. As if. I guess he doesn't everybody.
I really just want to mess with them, maybe start a fight. That's always entertaining. I walk around for a few minutes, ignoring the offers of pancakes I get from people. Eventually, I end up by Wist, who I kind of like. He's bearable, anyway.

"Hello, handsome," I say sarcastically, sitting down next to him, "Having fun?"

Medley - Hypnotist
I watched as everyone began unpacking. Seeing them all, I was reminded of the misfit song. I know it off by heart. I remember vaguely that Nick found me when I was wandering aloud, all alone, singing the song.

I startded humming it softly, and then began to sing it. By the chorus, everyone had joined in, even Wist. It was somewhat of our anthem.
I looked around and realized Kahira wasn't around. By the time I found the tiger cub, (who was wandering on top of the trailer - like a cat) and coaxed her down, everyone had already taken breakfast.

I bounded towards the food crates and picked up some pancakes, for both Kahira and myself and went to sit by Jonathan.
"Hey, John!"

Wist
I dragged myself out of the trailer and helped them unpack. As we ate, I sat quietly, observing everyone and sketching. This new place was beautiful, and I liked the peace and quiet here. I shifted away when the spot I was sitting in became too crowded, my old tryst with crowds popping up.

I sighed, and finished up my pancakes. Close to the trailer, I could see a beautiful beetle. No one noticed as I kneeled and began to draw its contours.

Adam Wright - Mind Talking

I heard the car roll to a stop and my eyes flicked open. I hadn't slept the whole ride and knew I'd be extra grumpy towards people today. But, whatever. Most of them were all just happy idiots anyway, just waiting unknowingly for the day that the government finally found us all.

Asher mumbles from the backseat, "Where are we?" And Nick answers that we're in Washington.

I roll my eyes and slide out of the van, going to start unloading the trailer.

As I'm back there, Nick comes over and I hear people start singing the Misfit song from Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer. I give an exasperated sigh and set down the few chairs I'm carrying, fixing them in their place. I push myself into person closest to me's mind and say, 'Hey, shut up with the Misfit song. We always sing it and it's annoying as hell.'
Turns out that person was Mitzi. "Scabba!" She yells at me, then huffs away, probably not wanting to start off the day with a fight.

I continue unloading the trailer until Nick calls, "Breakfast!" and I walk over to collect my pancakes. I almost smile; I haven't had pancakes for so long.

When I sit down on the ground, Jonathon comes to join me. He's always seemed to like hanging around me and I guess you could call him my 'friend'. Though I wasn't sure.

He nods hello and ask, "How are you?"

I shrug and grunt. I'm never very talkative. ''M alright. You?' I say to him in his mind, just to be polite.

He responds with a shrug and that's the end of our conversation. We continue eating in silence.

A few minutes later, I notice Alyia leaning against the van, eating her pancakes and glaring at Nick. She's always fascinated me, the way she can control fire, an element that I've always thought was the most destructive, therefore the best.

I walk over to her and she stops watching Nick with the murderous look on her face. I almost grin at her naivety. Doesn't she know she could be thrown out if she does just one thing wrong?

"Sooner or later he'll get rid of you. Then what will you do?" I say, speaking my mind and not expecting an answer.

Mitzi Delancey, Animorph
After Kili walked away, I snickered and said, loud enough for the people around me to hear, “Ey, 1-5 dat Nick soaks ‘er! Who’s bettin?”
Asher next to me says, “Not with those odds, Mitzi.”
I grinned at her and threw a bite of pancakes in my mouth, “I’se tought ya real good.”
The new girl, Vicky, I think walked up. She gave me a smile and said, “I’ll bet.”
Ah, how I loved newcomers. They were so naïve, and they always fell for my bets. I knew that I would win this one. Nick would never soak anybody. “You’se da new goil, ain’tcha? Vicky, roight?” When she nodded, I said, “So da conditions is dat if Nick hea soaks Kili in da next week, you’se gotta do me job fer da set up next time.”
She furrowed her brow, “Why would he get her wet?”
Oh, right, she didn’t know the slang that I used. “If he soaks ‘er, den it means dat he’ll beat ‘er up. You’se bettin?”
She looked around and finally said, “Sure, I guess I’ll bet.”
I spit in the palm of my hand and extended it to close the deal. She just looked at my hand with her nose wrinkled. “Wassa matta?”
“That’s gross!”
I snickered, wiped my hand on my jeans and shook her hand. She would have to get used to the way that I did things. I wasn’t about to change for anybody. I turned to Nick and said, “I’se gonna turn falcon an get a idea o' da town. See whea da Bulls are.”
He nodded, making sure to tell me, “Don’t get shot by a hunter.”
I snorted. “I’se try me best. You’se know dat.” Then I took a running leap into the air and turned into a falcon, letting out a screech before I spread my wings, letting them fill with air as I made my way into the town of Sunnyside.
Open the gates and seize the day! Don't be afraid and don't delay.

To die would be an awfully big adventure.

Victoria-

I watched as the girl flew up into the air and turned into a falcon. Swwweettt... I thought to myself. I put my hands up in the air and froze her in mid- air, having her fall, frozen. I laughed to myself and walked over, I blew on the ice and it broke, and she turned back human. I smiled. "I have a better Idea. How 'bout you, fight me." I raised my eyebrows and looked at her as she shook her head as in a 'no'. I grinned. "Why? You' to afraid to get beat? That's fine with me..." I laughed, and patted her on the shoulder. "I bet that would just ruin you're reputation, right?" I threw Fifty bucks on the table. "You win, you get it." I smiled. "If I win then..." I looked around. "Whenever I say 'jump' you have to jump." she looked at me playfully. I grinned. "So you up for it?"
