Ty was completely taken aback. He was positive Dustin would wish them
separated. Testing it, Ty made a silent wish, but just as Dustin had
said, it didn't come true. Ty and Dustin were really stuck together
for 24 hours. "Why did you wish that? I thought all you wanted was to
be apart."
"Well... I never did give 'this' a real chance, so I'm starting now.
And... I figure that after spending a full day stuck together... we'll
want time alone so you won't want to do anything like this again."
Dustin replied, as they walked toward the kitchen. "Besides" Dustin
added, "with the power you have... I would rather be on your good
side. You probably would have done something worse if I did split us
up anyways."
Ty abruptly stopped, "What kind of guy do you think I am?" Dustin just
shrugged. "Dude, do you think I'm going to destroy you or something if
you get on my nerves? I would never do that."
Dustin looked at him, not with angry eyes or anything, very serious.
"Yeah well... you say that now." Ty couldn't help but start laughing.
"What... Ty I'm serious."
Ty managed to stop, but he couldn't remove his smile. "I know, I know.
I knew us joining together was a good idea to get closer. Now I know
how you really feel about all of this. And you know what... your
right. Just me having power... might not be the best thing. I think
you should too."
"What?!" Dustin was now shocked at where this conversation had led.
"Me? Can you even do that?"
Ty thought for a moment. "Uh... I don't know the full extent of my
power, nor do I know the limitations. I figure that the guy who gave
me these powers couldn't duplicate them, so... I will give you half of
my powers. How about that?"
Dustin was speechless. This was the first time he didn't know how to
respond. Ty's smile broadened. "You can thank me later. Now, I wish
that Dustin had half of my power."
Dustin could feel this energy pass between through their joined
chests. He couldn't put a word to how it felt, or how he felt now. It
just felt different. "Wow... thanks. This is... wow. Can I test it?"
