Michelle smiled, she hadn't had this much fun for a while. His terms were easy and fair, but he had passed by her so she brought her pace up to a sprint. Her energy was failing quickly but he had made his own mistake sliding past the door.
This was her chance she slid making a quick turn and headed into the pool area. He would seriously have to book it if he wanted to make up for his lost time. Still because she was short on energy now she was slowed to a jog. Curse my body not having energy when I want it...

Austin ran into the pool area behind her and went straight to work before she could get in. He pushed water back, pulled up, and the end of the pool closest to them would be empty. He brought a bunch of the water up and over michelle in a very wave like look, it went above michelle and dropped down on Austin.
He spat out some of the water, which was about 10 or so gallons that dropped down on him, and said, "There.... I win...."
He laughed and let the water go back. The water that dropped on him slowly went back to the pool with austins will. It was easy to do since there was no need to draw water from near plant life, and he wasn't making it any more dense, just moving it really. He still had plenty of Qi for them to have a great time.
"Heh...... so..... surprise! I can control water....."

Michelle watched him in abit of shock, she had known what his Qi had been. Never had she expected it could have been to that extent. "That was...Amazing..." Her clothes had become slightly wet as she stood them staring at him. It took her a moment to close her mouth and shake off her stare.
"Sorry...but, you lost me in shock and awe..." She laughed slightly at his new hair style thanks to the water. "But....doesn't do your hair any justice. As for mine...well you sort of already guessed it. I can read minds...and have known your plans all along."
She walked up to him pulling the few wet spots of her shirt away from her body. "That was an interesting way to win however. I enjoyed being a kid again for once, even if I didn't win." Michelle wasn't much of a sore loser so she could take his win, even if he cheated.

Huh, guess I don't need to speak then. In that case I could just think, but that would be boring,"So instead I'll talk. So then," He said putting his hand in front of him, fingers seperated from each other, drawing the water from her clothes and his hair. They became dry and the water formed into a small bubble which circled Austin as he focused, then manuvered the ball into the pool.
"Wanna do something really fun?" He said and ran and jumped into the pool, he pushed himself from behind, the water rushing him forward, then at the end pushed the opposite way to stop him. It was the easiest thing to do with his Qi, to swim fast. He resurfaced on the other side of the pool having only spent 3 seconds tops to get from one side to the other, "Jump in, the water's great!"
Actually it's pretty chilly.... oops she probably just read that.... ummm.... it's fine haha.... I swear...... Austin thought, scratching the back of his head and letting out a laugh. He was comfortable around this girl. She read his thoughts and doesn't think he's a complete dweeb or anything.

Michelle chuckled quietly to herself. Austin was cool in her book. Not stuck up, nore did he care about what she looked like. Well he did care about her little problem. "Looks like fun." She said before jumping in.
The water hit her fast and sort of hard. It was a surprise how cold it was to her. If she had to guess it wasn't so bad to Austin because he was used to it. "Liar..." She said as her teeth chattered. Michelle started her swim over to him not really sure she wanted to feel what it was like to cross the pool so quickly.
Now however it was a bit hard for her. She hadn't been in a pool for a long time and was using muscles she wasn't used to. "Guess I can kiss all my energy goodbye after this..." Michelle said aloud. If she had to estimate she would say 10 minutes after getting out of the pool she might collapse.

"Need help?" Austin said, "Supposed to wait half an hour after you eat anyway, so don't think of this as cheating. Austin concentrated the water and pushed her along towards him, he also made sure to keep her floating. He decided he would show her something cool he could do but he would have to start at the other end of the pool.
"Stay here, I'm gonna show you something cool that you might like to try if you trust me enough," He said knowing how dangerous it could be if done wrong. He swam to the other end without using any qi, mostly using it to keep her afloat, letting her swim wherever she wanted, she'd find it a lot easier. He got to the end of the pool turned around and went under, used his qi to push him extremely hard, first downard then straight up, his arms at his side and his body curved he was like a dolphin leaping out of the water and then right back in the deep end having been sent across the pool, he did a flip under water and kicked off the bottom of the deep end to resurface.
"Man I've missed doing that!" He said, he was a little more talkative since thinking and talking were the same thing with Michelle. It wasn't like he was gonna hide anything from her anyway. He laughed and the sent a splash of waves playfully at her with his hands, reserving his Qi in case she ran out of energy or cramped up.

Michelle smiled at him, she was amazed by his trick and how skilled he was with his Qi. "Austin...you're just...amazing...I wish I had a power like that...I mean...what good is reading someone's mind? Getting to hear one's fear is always good, but hearing other peoples perverted thoughts, not really."
She stuck her tongue out remembering the few problems she has had at that. She brushed her hair back and held onto the edge of the pool before splashing him back. A bit of laughter escaped her before she pulled her shirt away from hugging her body.
"Hey Austin...well um...I kinda wanted to ask you something..." She sighed wondering if she should really tell him about her problem. Sure he already knew, but it was better if she told him herself. That and he trusted her, why shouldn't she trust him.

Austin didn't know what she was gonna ask him, he decided he'd try not to think about it. He kept thinking of how to get her back for the splash she sent back at him. He reached over and grabbed the edge himself, and brushed the hair back out from over his face, "Sure, fire away.."
He wasn't too sure what she was gonna ask him, You can ask me anything..... and man that has to suck about the perverted thoughts thing.... a lot of people out their just have no self control, in their thoughts or otherwise....
Austin made sure he had enough Qi left after all was said and done to dry her. The chlorine smell would still be there at the end of the day, but that'd wash out.

"Well...you already figured out I have a problem...but well...I sorta..." She struggled trying to find the words of what to say. She sighed and leaned against the pool edge staring off for a moment trying to think. "Well...I have been diagnosed with Bulimia...which simply means...I have an eating disorder...well not eating really..."
Michelle sighed not looking back at him. She was waiting for a gasp or a little bit of shock, something. All she could hope was he wouldn't slap her like a few other people she had told had. Please don't hate me....

Austin was still waiting for the question when he realized she was waiting on him for something, "Well we all have our issues to work through, your better off then most of the kids here. We're in a prison after all. I guess what I'm saying is, maybe you want help, maybe you don't. Maybe you don't think you need help. But I'm in no position to judge you so I won't if that's what you're waiting for...."
He waited there wondering if she had a question at all or if she was just nervous about telling him about her problem. Honestly he thought it was another eating disorder, but Bulimia was another one that was a little different.
Why do you do it.... He thought to himself forgetting for a moment that she was able to listen, Why do you do it..... you probably have a reason... I just can't figure out why... your beautiful as you are....
"Oh..." he said to himself suddenly remembering her ability.

Michelle was caught off guard by his thoughts, it wasn't something she was expecting. Not from him, not from anyone. "Well...um...thank you..." She looked up at him a the look of surprise on her face.
"I never expected anyone to say that...and I have a hard time believing it sometimes." She sighed and turned back to the wall. "As for my reason...it is my own...I won't tell you that....because I have told no one..."
She set her head down on her arms and shook her head. "Thank you though...I really appreciate it Austin. You don't know how much your concern means to me."

Austin put his arms up on the side and his head on them, his elbow about an inch away from hers, "You're welcome.... I don't mean to be so concerned it's just.... sickness leads to something worse sometimes.... and for everyone that's ever been close to me.... its like everyone around me.... well...."
Dies.... He couldn't bring himself to say it without getting teary. Of course, it's not like she would notice the tears, but she would hear them in his head for sure. He didn't feel like weeping any more, "Well, I still care about people, some more then others... sometimes rather quickly... even if someone else says they don't deserve it.... but you do... and I just.... I guess I just want for you to be happy with yourself the way...."
He shut up, he didn't want to drag on, he wanted to get into a lighter mood, so he turned around and focused his Qi, "Turn around... take a look"
The water came up like a fountain from the center of the the pool. It wasn't too hard, in essence he was just pulling out the water with force so it continued up, and it naturally went outward, the true difficulty was stopping the water before it landed, at differnet places. Beads of water hung in mid air, until he stopped the fountain from draining the pool, letting the beads float randomly going different ways. He started to feel a little tired again. He had done enough tricks for the day and he still had one final gift for the girl when they were done. He let the water go into the pool slowly, it looked liked it was raining over the pool, and he turned towards michelle with rain falling on his face.
"So how about it? One last race to the shallow end of the pool? Winner gets bragging rights and a wish?"
