Blue thought about flying many times before. After all, he was a comic book illustrator, or at least a wanna be comic book illustrator. The point is, he knew just what at least three dozen different superheroes were capable of and was in the middle of doing what only a handful of them could actually do. He was flying. He wasn't using any fancy machines, surfboards, glowing rings or flames to make him fly, he was just thinking about how he wanted to fly, where he wanted to fly, how fast and how high he wanted to fly and he was doing it all while holding on to the most wonderful girl he had ever been with so she could fly with him. In all the time that Blue had thought about flying, he never even considered what it would be like to land. he thought about mentioning that to Anna Marie as they neared the ground, but didn't. Instead, he thought about how smooth it would be to just step right down onto the ground and keep walking as if he was descending a staircase and had reached the bottom step, nice, easy and fluid. So that is exactly what he did. Remarkably, all went according to plan and he and Anna Marie continued their walk, Anna Marie giggling at the sheer thrill of it all, holding his hand and skipping along the path.
Suddenly, someone jumped down in front of them from the tree branch which hung just ahead of them along the path. "Hey, you two little lovebirds, and I DO MEAN BIRDS!" Targent laughed as he bounded toward them excitedly. "Amazing, absolutely amazing, you guys were just flying, whooeee! You have got to show me how you do that Tommy, I mean Onjadiavaan. Oh man, you are the real deal, you are Onjadiavaan, I knew it, it was just like I said, nobody believed me, but I knew it, Tommy, sorry, sorry, Onjadiavaan, Awesome!" Targent just blurted out every word, so fast he barely had any breath left.
"Hello Targent" Blue and Anna Marie responded.
"You, you,YOU," Targent stammered, pointing to Anna Marie,"You talked!"
"Yes, Targent," Anna Marie said sweetly,"I have found my voice," she added as she looked to Blue.
"We were just on our way back. Anna Marie was just filling me in on a few things, Targent," Blue said evenly in an effort to calm Targent down,"what brings you out here?"
