44. Being Abnormal

  She took note of Tiffany's behaviour as she took a sip.

  Julianne: Well, I may as well say a little bit more about myself then. My name is Julianne Hunter, and I was once an actress, that much you all already know.

  She looked directly at Ken as she said this, leaving him shaken.

  Julianne: But I also happen to have the ability...

  She raised her hand, and electricity started sparking out of it.

  Julianne: ...to manipulate electricity.

  They all watched in awe.

  Julianne: Pretty cool, right?

  She said it with a bright smile on her face while they exchanged glances.

  Luke: Well... yeah.

  Ken: So I was right the first time, wasn't I? You are an alien, aren't you?

  Julianne: An alien?

  Ken: Err... well..

  Julianne: Hmmm.

  She slowly sipped her coffee again.

  Ken: I didn't...

  Julianne: No, no. You're right. I am an alien.

  They were all shocked to hear that, especially Rose, who suddenly gasped loudly.

  Rose: Really!

  Julianne: Well, yes...

  Rose excitedly started stomping on the ground.

  Rose: Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh...

  She suddenly stopped.

  Rose: Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.

  Julianne: It's quite alright. So, I take it you're an alien too.

  Rose: Uh huh.

  Julianne: Would you just so happen to be a sirenite?

  Rose gasped again.

  Rose: How did you know?

  Julianne simply chuckled.

  Julianne: Let's just say I know a lot about outer space.

  Rose: Oh, my gosh. You're sooooo cooool!

  Julianne: Awww... thank you.

  She turned to the others.

  Julianne: So, are the rest of your aliens as well?

  Luke: No.

  Ken: Nope.

  Tiffany: No.

  Julianne: I see. Then I guess it's just the two of us, huh Rose.

  Rose: Yeah.

  Julianne: Now, let's see....

  Julianne put a finger on her lip.

  Julianne: ... Sirenites.... You have psychic powers. The ability to lift things with your mind, to read thoughts and also to link people's minds. I should have figured.

  Rose gasped.

  Rose: That's all true! You really do know all about us!

  Julianne: Hmm. Indeed.

  Rose: You're so smart.

  Julianne: Thank you.

  Rose: But... wait... What kind of alien are you?

  Julianne: Oh, me? I'm a protonite.

  Rose: Reall.... Oh. I've never heard of them.

  Julianne: Well, we have the power to manipulate electricity for one thing.

  She sparked up her hand again.

  Julianne: We also have the power to do this.

  Suddenly, a force field of electrical energy was formed around her.

  Rose: Woah!

  Ken: Interesting.

  Luke: Hmm.

  Tiffany: Huh

  Julianne: This force field can be used to protect me from enemy fire. Pretty neat, huh?

  Rose: Yeah. It's so cool.

  Julianne: You think so?

  Rose: Uh huh.

  Ken: Indeed.

  Luke: Yeah.

  Tiffany: Yeah, it's cool.

  Julianne looked at Tiffany and paused again before continuing to Ken.

  Julianne: Well, what about you, wise guy?

  Ken: Huh?

  Julianne: Well, what makes you so special.

  Ken: I...

  Ken flinched at the thought of revealing his powers to her. After all, just because Rose did didn't mean that he had to.

  Julianne: You don't have to answer that.

  They were all shocked to hear that.

  Julianne: I get it. You kids are probably all freaks to normal people, aren't you?

  They all exchanged glances again. Just what was happening.

  Julianne: In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if all your loved ones were unaware of your abilities and lives.

  She looked at Ken, who ashamedly looked away.

  Julianne: It's alright. There's nothing to be ashamed of. After all, we've all been through situations like that before. Haven't we?

  She reclined in her sofa.

  Julianne: Leaving school early, leaving your friends alone and worse, abandoning your family all because you have some kind of problem to deal with.

  She continued with an understanding tone.

  Julianne: Say, every Tuesday a tentacle grows out of her arms, and then it just so happens that her sister's birthday falls on a Tuesday. Oh... being an oddball can be so difficult. Believe me, I understand.

  They were all shocked beyond words.

  Rose: Y... you do? Miss Hunter?

  Julianne: Of course, I've been on earth for around 10 years. So believe me when I say that I understand how difficult it can be.

  Rose: I... I see.

  Rose sobbed a bit.

  Julianne: Is something wrong, Rose?

  Rose: No... its... just.... you're so nice.

  Rose continued to sob.

  Julianne: Thank you, and it's no big deal. Really!

  She looked kindly upon Rose, and Ken suddenly started.

  Ken: I have bionic abilities.

  Julianne: Really?

  Ken: Yeah.

  Julianne: Hmm. I see.

  She took another sip of her coffee.

  Julianne: What kind of abilities?

  Ken hesitated, but she simply smiled at him.

  Ken: I can research anything on the internet at will.

  Julianne: Oh.

  She paused.

  Julianne: Oh. Is that why you knew who I was?

  Ken: Well, yeah.

  Julianne: Impressive, I never would have imagined.
