Long Way From Home

Impossible Contest

As they all watched the videos on YouTube, Anya paused it, "Ready?"

Lila nodded, "Remember, the first one to crack owes the entire group drinks."

"No dancing, no humming, no head bobbing, no clapping, no covering mouth, no feet tapping and most importantly, no singing!" Cassie reminded.

"Yeah, yeah," Cooper pressed play.

Anya looked blankly at the screen, as the song played.

"Part of your world!" Natasha sang.

Anya, Cassie, Cooper, Kelly, Lila, Louna, Mary, Nathan, and Peter turns to see Natasha walking behind them.

"What say you, Anya?" Peter asked.

Natasha looks up, realizing what happened. "My mother owes us drinks…" Anya shook her head.

"I don't get the point of the exercise…" Natasha moved behind the bar.

"It's training," Anya explained, "the whole point of the videos is to restrain the urge to sing. If we can control the urge we are able to control other urges for instance the urge to kill a foe… or basically blowing up the place."

"Plus, Aunt Nat," Peter said as he took the drink, "it's fun and we get free drinks after."

"And what happens when the kids are playing training with you?" Natasha asked, "I know you and Louna can hold your liquor, but what about the others. Anya, you need to remember that the others are only humans with no abilities."

Anya smirks, "Why do you think we drink margarita?"

"Even if… Nathan…"

"Yes, we know he can't hold his alcohol, which is why he only drinks the watered down version." Anya grins.

"Why are you talking to me, anyways?" Natasha asked, "Am I forgiven?"

"For now…" Anya smiles at her mother.

Beep! Beep! "Oh Crap!" Mary cursed looking at her pager. "I need to go… I have a little girl in an emergency table."

"Okay… okay…" Kelly sighs calmly, "You need to sober up first…"

Kelly grabs a pill from her bag and hands it to her sister, "Here…"

Mary shrugs and ingest the pill.

Kelly looked at her watch, "In 3… 2… 1…"

Mary stood up in shocked, "I'm sober! What the hell was in that pill?!"

"Pure caffeine." Kelly sighs, "It should keep you up for at least eight hours. Let's go…"

Mary stood up and followed Kelly towards the door. "It's no use! I'm not gonna make it in time… unless… do you still have the pendant Uncle Stephen gave us?"

"No, I used mine at the mission in Vietnam."

Mary frowns. Kelly sighs, "We are not the only ones with the pendant from Uncle Stephen… Louna and Anya were also given each, in case of an emergency…"

Mary looks at Louna, through the window. "You think she would…"

"Yeah, it's an emergency after all…" Kelly shrugs.
