This choice: Giovanni has fun with his super powers • Go Back...Chapter #4Giovanni has fun with his super powers by: scriptboy   Giovanni walked into the house feeling like he was living in a dream. He was able to see through walls and doors and metal, he was incredibly strong, he got hit by a car at school and he didn’t get hurt at all, and to top it off, he was able to fly home after school was over and he had missed the bus!
“Okay… I must be dreaming all this, right?” he mumbled, as he examined his reflection in the bathroom mirror. “No ordinary kid just wakes up one day and is able to do all these things for no reason!”
Just then his older brother Marco was walking past the bathroom and spotted his little brother standing in front of the mirror, still wearing his school clothes.
“What’s going on, twerp?” Marco grinned, as he walked by. Marco was over a foot taller than Giovanni, since Giovanni was just less than 5 feet tall and Marco was already 6 feet tall.
Giovanni turned to face his older brother with a sincere expression on his face.
“Hey, bro… Do I look any different to you?” he asked his big brother.
Marco examined his little brother and noticed that Giovanni did look a little different. He felt like Giovanni seemed a little more athletic.
“Have you been gaining weight?” Marco asked him. “You look a little bigger in your chest, in your arms and in your legs!”
“Well… I guess my muscles have grown a bit…”
“You’re too young to grow muscle, dude! You’re only ten years old!” Marco replied.
“Well, I know that, but, I think my muscles have gotten a little bigger! Don’t you think so?” Giovanni asked him.
“Yeah… Maybe… I mean… You don’t work out or anything, other than playing soccer, right?”
“No… But… Weird things have been happening to me lately… And I can’t explain them…” Giovanni sighed.
“I meant to ask you about that…” Marco wondered. “How did you know that I didn’t have my keys in my pocket? And how come you were so certain that they were on the car seat?”
“I saw them! I saw that your pockets were empty and I saw the keys on your chair in the car!” Giovanni explained. “It’s one of those things I just can’t explain right now, but… I can see through things… I can do other things, too!”
“What?”
Like I missed the bus after school today…” Giovanni recounted.
“So, you walked home from school?” Marco asked him.
“Uhh… Not exactly…”
“How did you get home, then?”
“I… I flew…”
For a moment Marco just stared at his little brother in complete disbelief.
Marco walked up to his little brother and ran his hand through Giovanni’s short, black, spikey hair.
“Listen, little bro… People don’t fly, okay?” Marco chuckled. “I mean, it would be nice if we were able to do that, but ordinary human beings do not have that ability…”
“Then, what do you call THIS?” Giovanni asked him, as he slowly allowed his body to rise up off the floor.
“What are you talking ab---? Holy crap!” Marco gasped, when he realized that his little brother was hovering a few inches above the ground! Giovanni’s tennis shoes were suspended in mid-air! There was empty space between the bathroom floor and the soles of his shoes!
“What… What the heck… How did you do that?” Marco stuttered.
Giovanni made his body rise up even higher off the ground, until he was floating almost four feet above the tiled floor. Marco then reached over and gently grabbed hold of his brother’s right tennis shoe, pulling it slowly towards him. He found that Giovanni seemed to be floating in mid-air like a balloon!
“This is amazing! You’re floating like a balloon, bro!” he said to his little brother, who was now hovering above his head.
“I know! Isn’t this cool?” the younger brother replied.
“It’s amazing! How do you do this?”
“I have no idea! I’ve been able to do all these weird things ever since I got home from soccer practice yesterday afternoon. It’s really weird!” the younger brother explained.
“Let’s… Let’s go outside!” Marco suggested.
Giovanni extended his arms before him, and allowed his body to float in a horizontal position. Then, he began to fly through the house, soaring through the hallway and the living room, with Marco running after him, until they got to the front door. There, Giovanni reached down and opened the door, and flew outside. Marco followed behind him and quickly stepped outside, stopping in the driveway as he looked up in awe at his flying little brother.
“See? I told you I could fly!” Giovanni shouted, as he ascended high over the roof of the house. He flew over the neighbor’s house before circling around their yard. Then he came around and landed right before Marco.
“Bro! You… You have super powers! You’ve become some sort of super-kid or something!” Marco exclaimed. “This is so cool!”
“Yeah… I guess you can say that, yeah…” his little brother said with a grin.
“What about the other guys on your team? What happened to them?”
“I don’t know! I only saw a couple of them at school this morning, but nobody had noticed anything unusual yet… I guess I can call them or go over to their houses and find out…” Giovanni wondered.
“Yeah! I think it would be fun to know how the other guys are doing! I mean… Did they get super powers as well, or just you?” Marco asked him.
“I have no idea. I need to find out…”
Marco and Giovanni then walked back into the house, although Marco realized that Giovanni was already planning on going out again real soon…
