Chapter Four:

I saw another master standing behind me. He had grey hair and a jagged scar down his cheek. His hair covered one of his eyes.

"That's Bolt. He happens to be one of the most popular masters at JPA. He seems to be able to charm anyone. I mean just look at him." Jessica whispered.

"Hi Bolt. I'm just- " Jessica started.
"I know idiot. Someone's always watching around here. And don't ask me why I'm here, I'm taking a break. Flight's gone mad. He's really bossy and annoying. I don't think he's taken a break since morning." Bolt said.

"I guess he's just excited for the ceremony. Don't you think it's exciting? You get to have more masters." Jessica replied.
"Get to? More like have to. Like we don't already have enough masters. Plus, with the girls around it gets a little irritating. Not to mention how Air can't stop talking about himself." Bolt sighed.

"Isn't it fun being a master? I thought you liked your job." Jessica answered. Bolt shook his head.
"Not really. It gets tiring. And since I'm the second to top master,I always go to the meetings. And to add, I have to watch the school for vampi-
    Never mind... I meant to say..uh..mythical students. Hehe... " Bolt stammered.

"Um,ok? I have to go now. We're almost done with the tour, remember?" Jessica reminded. I nodded my head.

"I better get back to practice." Bolt said.  Once he left we started towards the city.

"That was kinda weird. It sounded as if he were about to say vampires. Ha, like they even exist. So where are we headed to next?" I asked. She pointed to a tall tower in the midst  about a mile away. I looked towards the sky. The clouds were starting to get darker.

"Oh no, we'd better get back now. It might rain." I remarked. She just laughed.
"No silly,it's not going to rain, it's just Thunder and Bolt practicing. But it'd be best if we went back just incase." She agreed.

We walked back to JPA. I saw five masters at a table as we went in to the cafeteria.
"Oh look! There's Icey,Flake,Snow, Air,and Torch. Don't sit next to them. That's their private table." She explained. I looked at the food they were serving. Mashed potatoes with chicken and gravy. For desert, a banana. Then I looked at what the masters were eating. Cordon bleau and stuffed pot pie and for desert apple pie a la mode.

What the fries? What up with that? Oh yum. A banana.

I took a tray and put some food on it. We both sat next to the master's table. We could hear everything they said.

"Darn it! We always get this stuff. Why can't we order some pizza and sodas and chill in the office? I vote on pizza next time." I heard Air say.
"Don't say that Air, you should be happy that we even get this food. I wonder how long it took them to make this." Icey defended.
"Exactly my point. It wouldn't take so long if we ordered a pizza. Get what I mean? " Air smirked.

" I don't care if you want pizza or not,just be thankful you have it." Icey sighed.
" Talking about being thankful,aren't you guys glad I'm here? If I weren't a master, it would be boring around here. I'm sure Flight chose me to be the top master because I'm better than all of you." Air bragged.

" First of all we should all be thankful to have each other,and second of all Bolt is the top master, not you. " Icey answered.
"Guys stop arguing, Flight sent me a text to bring him some lunch. So I better go." Flake said.
"Good thing he chose you. I wonder if he thinks of you like a servant." Air teased.

"Not nice Air. By the way, do you know if Thunder and Bolt are done practicing? They were gone the whole day." Icey recalled.
"No, I don't know. Maybe Flight is putting them in bondage." Air replied.
"Oh my gosh! Do you ever stop talking? Can u at least say something without insulting someone or talking about yourself!?" Icey hollered.

"I'm cool with it. We both are. Just maybe every once in a while you could shut up." Bolt said as he joined the table.
"Thank you, Bolt." Icey answered.
"So how was practice? Did you beat your record?" Torch asked.
"Oh you bet! I slaughtered 87,300 clouds in 2 mins flat!" Bolt boasted.
"Pfft, I bet that's not as good as my sonic sound wave sending 90,002 clouds away, talk about a nice sky." Thunder bragged.
"Hey guys, I just realized something. We haven't been on a mission in like,forever. Do you think we'll ever get to go on one again?" Sky,another master asked.
"Probably not. Anyways he's probably too busy worrying about the ceremony to give us a mission. And also he broke up with Belle." Air said.

"What's the ceremony?" I asked Jessica," and who's Belle? "
"Belle is Flight's ex-girlfriend, and the ceremony is when new masters come. It only happens about every 3 years." Jessica explained.
"Oh. Is that what they were practicing?" She nodded her head.

"You're right,Air. I forgot. I should go see what Flight is up to. Are you coming Snow,Flake? " Icey asked.
"Yes,anyways I had to bring him lunch." Flake replied.
"Yeah,and Sky and I had to fix some gadgets." Snow added. All four including Sky left. Torch,Thunder,Bolt,and Air were left.

"I still vote on the pizza. Who's with me?" Air said.
