Leah

Boom! In your face, Warren! That’s what I call Girl Power.

This message is to all the boys out there: WATCH OUT! There’s a bad lady coming to town, and her name is Leah Marie Swelger. Seriously, Warren, you thought that I was CREEPY? Well you need to get your eyes checked. F.Y.I, it’s called AWESOMENESS!!! Ha! Whooo… That felt good. I’m awesome, aren’t I? I can’t believe what just happened. To recap: Zenox called Warren and me over to have visions. My vision was about my cousin who’s in the United Kingdom right now. She said that she was coming back home tomorrow but I knew that it was impossible so I didn’t buy it. I must have beaten my simulator before Warren beat his so I was filled with awesomeness and Warren wasn’t and I am the captain of the team and Warren isn’t. Wow, that was a mouthful!

As soon as Warren and I went into the main room where Melanie and Jeremy were sleeping, I started shouting,

"Whoohoo! Guess what guys? You’re looking at your fearless leader, who will ride with you into battle!” Honestly, I didn’t care that it was 2:00 in the morning.

Melanie sat up groggily and said, “That’s great, Leah, now why don’t you get some sleep like you’re supposed to.”

“Sorry, but I can’t. Zenox assigned us a mission to go to in the morning, and since right now is technically the ‘morning’, I want to go. Besides, he already told me where it is. On Sirius.” I replied.

“Leah, I think you should consider about how you can breathe in space, and your method of transportation.” Jeremy said, geniusly countering my attempt to leave.

“Well,” I began, “I think there will be some secret portal, like the one we fell in to get here. As for breathing… Yeah, I haven’t figured that out. But I’m still going to try and find a way to complete this job, with or without you guys.” Yeah, that came out bad and a little ignorant, but I don’t care. I’m pumped, ready to lead and these guys are all talk.

“Well, I guess I can’t do anything to stop you, so I’m coming with you” Melanie proudly stated.

Jeremy sighed, “I suppose if I’m a true friend, I must go with you as well.”

“Wait, seriously? I-I thought I was being irrational when I said I was going to Sirius.” I said, stunned.

“You were. I’m only going with you so I can be there when you mess up. Then I’ll be the captain of this group.” Warren chimed in.

“Thanks for the help, oh mighty one, but I think we should get going. Evil doers never rest.” I said.

Our bikes really do rock, if I must say so myself. Although there was no sun, the bikes seemed to glow in a special way. On each of the four seats was a padded uniform, the color of all of our bikes.

Suddenly, a great, broad, smile formed on Jeremy’s face. He started feeling all over the uniforms then he finally said, “These suits are fascinating! They’re made for being able to breath in space with unlimited air supply. And the fibers in them feel like they can keep our bodies stable while we’re on Sirius.”

“You can seriously tell all of that from a few shirts?” I asked.

“Actually it was quite simple. All I did was-”

“Okay, let’s just get this over with.” Warren grumbled. He’s probably salty because his ‘girlfriend’ is better than him and he knows it.

“Party pooper.” I muttered. I hopped on my motorcycle, hoping that something would happen, such as a magical portal leading to Sirius. Nothing of the sort happened.

“Wait a minute, I have an idea. Everybody get on their bikes. Just trust me for a moment.” I said. When the bikes were all filled, a miracle happened. Out of thin air, there was a flash of yellow, and in the blink of an eye there was not a single speck of evidence that we were just in that very room. NEVER DOUBT AWESOMENESS (a.k.a me.)
