Marissa had worn previously.
                Terra caught sight of Marissa in the backseat looking nervously down at her outfit. She had on what she usually wore, black knee -length skirt and a button white top with a few front pieces of her hair clipped back.
                "I'm over dressed," she said letting out a sigh. "I knew I should've worn my regular clothes."
                "You look lovely," Era rebuked lightly.
                "You do," Terra agreed quickly. "I'll be back to pick you up, okay?"
                She moved to the edge of her seat, her hands grasping the armrests. "What if I melt again?"
            Era chuckled, remembering what they were all thinking. The last school was extremely strict but Aunt Gwen swore that with Marissa's grades (the one thing she was never nervous about thanks to Era's tutoring), she should go to a prominent school. Thankfully, after what happened, even Aunt Gwen accepted that it would be best to put her back into a public school.
                A few stuck-up girls made fun of her for something she could no longer remember, Marissa ran into the stalls of the bathroom, and before she realized what happened, she melted. There she was as a puddle of water when as all luck would have it, the janitor came in. She was mopped up, then once alone in the janitor’s closet, she materialized again, wet and dirty. It took a few hours to get that story out of her, but when they did, no one laughed because they felt so bad for her. It was proof that no matter where they went, they would always be different from everyone else. No one would understand them or the bond they shared. The teasing from those girls was insignificant as it really wasn’t about her being different, rather it was a reminder, and for that she was grateful they had each other.
                Era popped open the glove box. Among scattered papers were three tiny cell phones. She picked up two, handing one to Terra and Marissa. Terra flipped it open to see a picture of a hot air balloon traveling over the screen, the time in the upper right hand corner.
                "When did you get these," Marissa asked in awe.
                "A few days ago, I figured it was about time we had a way of keeping in touch. If we find fire soon we all need to be there and this is the best way to gather quickly. I programmed all of our numbers in speed dial. I'm one, because I can get there fastest. Terra you're two and Marissa you're three."
                "This is brilliant! Thank you, Era!" Marissa hopped up and kissed her cheek. "I'll see you after school?"
                "I'll be waiting out here for you," Terra said.
                In turn, Marissa kissed her cheek jumped out of the car and walked up to the double front doors, her backpack bouncing on her back. They watched until she was inside, and once she was, they pulled out of the parking lot.
                "Doing anything today Terra?" Era asked.
                Terra nodded. "I'm going to take this car to the wash and I thought maybe I'd go by the local library. Maybe I can get some books for Marissa."
                "That sounds nice."
                "Would you like to come Era? It should be fairly quiet, I doubt if anyone will even be there."
                Era broke out a wide grin. "It's nice, isn’t it; to be in a small town."
                "All we have to do is keep a low profile. As long as none of us uses any of our powers or gets close to anyone we should be okay."
                They fell into silence going on with their day. Era had retreated to the corner road when it was time for the car to be put through the car wash. The noises from the car wash brushes were too hard on her sensitive ears.
                In comparison, the library was a great reprieve. There were only two
