I woke up the next morning at five for training. Chris was more excited than I was for he was told this morning that he'd be my trainor.
"You ready Ally?" he said excitedly.
"Ready as I'll ever be." I replied on my way down to the basement.
"Now this isn't as easy as you think Ally." Chris said. "All those flips I was doing was me goofing off. First off I'll have you do a simple mind test.
"Okay. What ya got?" I said.
"See that soda can on the table. I want you to levetate it." he said.
"What???" I said. Chris was out if his mind. No way could I levate that can. I may have "superpowers" but I'm still human.
"Just do it." he said sensing I was unsure.
"Okay." I replied after hesitating for a minute. I sat down in the chair in front of the table with the can.
"Just focus on the can." he said. "I've seen you do stuff like this before."
I focused my eyes on the can annoyed that he really thought I could do this. Really was this some kind of joke? With my eyes clicked in I tried with all my might, but nothing happened.
"See. I told you." I said.
"Try again." Chris said. "Trust me. It will work."
I attempted to levetate the can again just like Chris said. Slowly, I moved my eyes upward expecting the can to follow.
"I told you you could do it Ally!" Chris said.
The can was now in front of my face but shacking from lack of focus.
"Put it on that table on the other side of the room Ally."
"What?!?" I said.
Suddenly the can dropped and landed on the table.
"Good thing it wasn't full." Chris said sheepishly. "We'll work on moving it at another time. Your still getting use to the whole idea. Practice makes perfect."
Practice was exactly what I needed.
