All seven Hanson kids and Rachel were under strict orders not to use their powers while Rachel's family was there.
As things worked out however, that wasn't going to be all that long a time. The guys were starting to do some serious work on the new album and would be leaving for LA to record it after New Years, which was only a couple of weeks away.
Diana and Walker, thinking mainly of Rachel's powers and how it probably would be better for her to be amongst other people who had them, managed to talk her parents into letting her go with them to LA when they did.
All that aside, on this particular day Taylor and Rachel were enjoying a walk together in the near-empty park.
"I don't think it's just weather control." Rachel was saying. "It's like… like I can feel it, inside of me. This might sound silly to you, but it's like I know exactly what the weather is going to be like, y'know?"
"Nah it doesn't sound silly to me." Taylor replied. "After all this is coming from someone who gets high on rain."
Rachel giggled.
"I'm telling you Rach, you're the most reliable person I've ever met for knowing when it's going to rain. And guess what? Now we know why." He grinned at her.
She smiled back and there was quiet for a moment. But it was one of those comfortable quiets.
"Well, at least we don't have to worry about rain while we're doing outdoor concerts any more."
Rachel laughed.
"Well, unless I don't go on tour with you guys."
"Ahh… Hmm… good point."
"Remember Tay, powers or no powers, I do want a life. Get a job, have a family, that kind of stuff."
"What job?"
"Oh, I don't know. Probably something involving meteorology."
"The study of weather?"
He gave her a look and started laughing. Rachel joined in.
"Well, I have an affinity with it, why not?"
"Why not indeed? Just try not to make too many revolutionary discoveries at once."
Rachel laughed.
