Chapter 16

"Hey Avie - what the heck is that?" Zac asked, eyes wide.

"Huh? Oh, hi Zac."

"Well?"

"Well, what?"

"What is that?"

"An ice sculpture."

"It doesn't look like ice."

"Well, that might be because I'm using my light power on it to change the colour."

"Ohhh. It's looks cool."

Zac laughed at his pun. Avie gave him a look.

"Very funny."

"I can see the smile on your face."

Avie stuck her tongue out at him. Zac immediately retaliated by sending a stream of water into her face.

"Hey!" she objected.

Zac laughed at her.

"Ooh, know you're in for it!"

On that Avie breathed out and pieces of ice formed. Because of the direction she had been breathing (and other factors), the pieces were shot at Zac.

"Ouch! Hey!" he objected.

"Oh c'mon. Don't complain. This ice is water."

That gave Zac an idea. He sent out another steam of water. Of course, Avie was still breathing out ice, so all Zac had to do was create a kind of 'wall' of water in between the two (which took a great deal of concentration) and Avie froze the wall.

"Hey, that's cheating."

"No it's not. We didn't lay any rules!"

Avie decided then to melt the ice wall with her lasers…

"Hey! You did it!" Zac exclaimed.

Avie looked at him, her eyes shining - quite literally.

"I did didn't I? I did just shoot lasers from my eyes."

Zac grinned at her.

"C'mon, let's clean up this mess before someone complains."
