	It was yet another warm, yet breezy, summer day in Timber Falls. Although summer break was coming to a close, Zac still found some time to return home and see his parents. Just like last summer, Kelly tagged along, too. However, unlike last time, she was not as much of a newcomer to the Wilson family.

	Zac and Kelly decided to take a stroll around the lake that was located not far away from the Wilson household. The lake created the perfect circumstances for the wind to blow a cool breeze to the surrounding area, making the summer day exceptionally nice. Within eyeshot, there was a small island right off the coast of the lake, where Zac and Kelly were taking there walk. The island was girted with a sandy beach, while leafy trees and foliage decorated the interior of the island.

	[color=peru]“I haven’t thought about it before, but it has been an entire year since we’ve gotten our powers,”[/color] Zac mentioned to Kelly when he caught sight of the island. A year ago, that was the island where both Zac and Kelly were kidnapped by Doctor Diplodoc before being turned into metahumans.

	[color=khaki]“It has [i]only[/i] been a year? With all that has happened recently, it has felt it should be longer than that!”[/color] Kelly answered her boyfriend back.

	[color=peru]“Want to race, for old times’ sake?”[/color]

	[color=khaki]“You’re on!”[/color]

	Zac stripped off his shirt before diving into the chilly lake water. Last time, Zac easily smoked his girlfriend and from how it looked to Zac when he got into the water, the end result appeared like it would not be any different. When Zac finally landed on the island’s beach, he turned around and was surprised when he did not see her behind him. At first, he was concerned that she might have had trouble while swimming. However, that fear was quickly dispersed.

	[color=khaki]“What took you so long?”[/color] Kelly taunted Zac in the most loving way possible. Zac knew that something was up when he noticed that her clothes were completely dry. She also had her power nullifier deactivated, which granted her wasplike powers and appearance.

	[color=peru]“Hold up, that was cheating!”[/color] Zac reacted to his girlfriend’s victory in the race.

	[color=khaki]“You didn’t [i]explicitly[/i] say anything about having to swim,”[/color] Kelly told Zac with a smile on her face, enjoying the fact that she bent the rules by flying to the island instead of swimming.

	[color=peru]“If we’re using powers, I should be allowed to use my superhuman speed,”[/color] Zac proposed before pausing for a moment when an idea came to him. [color=peru]“Wait, could I run on water?”[/color]

	[color=khaki]“Hmm…good question. I would have to look it up,”[/color] Kelly answered, pulling out her cell phone from her pocket and opening up her internet browser.

	[color=peru]“I mean, the Flash did it on that tv show, but I’m nowhere near as fast as he is and that’s comic book logic anyways, right?[/color]

	[color=khaki]“Actually, if you can make it to 30 meters per second, you could potentially mimic the basilisk lizard.”[/color]

	[color=peru]“What’s that in non-metric units?”[/color]

	[color=khaki]“Umm…about 67 miles per hours,”[/color] Kelly answered after a short pause while she converted the units (or rather Google did).

	[color=peru]“I can reach that easily…I think,”[/color] Zac said as he deactivated his power nullifier, which also swapped his wet pants for his dry superhero costume. [color=peru]“There’s not much real estate here, but I guess running around the island in a circle might work.”[/color]

	Zac soon zoomed off, dashing around the island in a circle. With each lap, he increased his speed. Once Zac had felt he was in the right ballpark for his speed, instead of continuing in the circle, he just went straight towards the mainland.

	The sensation of running on the water was weird, yet exciting. The pressure from his feet striking the lake’s surface in turn forced the water to push back up against his feet. With each step, Zac found that he was not yet sinking into the water. However, Zac’s downfall was him looking back towards the island in an almost cocky sign of victory. Instead, all this did was distract him, causing him to lose his footing and stumble. Just like a smooth rock that young children would toss across a lake’s surface, Zac skipped on top of the water for several feet until he crashed into the beach.

	[color=khaki]“Are you okay!”[/color] Kelly asked in concern as she hovered near him once she had flew across the lake’s surface to where Zac had landed.

	[color=peru]“Nothing I’ve haven’t handled before,”[/color] Zac answered while giving his girlfriend a thumbs up.

	[color=khaki]“Well, that was an interesting first test run,”[/color] Kelly told him. Once she realized what she said, Kelly added: [color=peru]“No pun intended, of course.”[/color]

	[color=peru]“At least I know I can do this. Might come in handy in the future.”[/color]
