The next day, Hidden Darkness was looking out of a window of his new house, with some new sunglasses to cover his eyes. He was watching three girls playing with a baking soda and vinegar bottle rocket, when they launched it and it started heading towards his window. Before it could enter his house, he used his shoulder length grey hair to block the bottle rocket. He could hear gasps of surprize from the 3 kids outside. He continued to use his hair to handle the rocket until it was in his hands.

"You should be more careful!" he called down. "I won't always be here to pick up your stuff!"

"How did you do that?" the yellow skinned one asked.

"The thing with my hair? Why is no one else able to do that?" Hidden Darkness. The yellow one shrugged.

"So you were born with that ability?" the orange skinned one asked.

"That, and many, many more," Hidden Darkness said as he thought of the adventures he would have before he was sent to the asylum.

"Could you show us how to do that?" the white skinned one asked. "Who knows? Maybe that's what we'll be skillful in!" The other two seemed to get excited over that idea, when a voice called from within the house.

"Girls! Your snack is ready!"

"Coming Rarity!" the white skinned one yelled back. "Can you show us how to do that stuff after our snack?" Hidden Darkness shrugged.

"That depends on your genes," Hidden Darkness said. "That is the major factor in it." The yellow skinned one tilted her head.

"What do our pants have to do with that?" she asked.

"Girls? Are you ready or not?" Rarity called out as she stepped outside.

Another one with white skin? What are the odds? Hidden Darkness thought.

"What are doing?" she asked.

"We're talking with this awesome guy next door!" the white one said. Rarity looked up.

"I wasn't aware that someone moved in," she muttered, then waved.

"Hello! The girls aren't bothering you, are they?" she asked.

"No. Not at all," Hidden Darkness said. "That's actually been the first time I've been called awesome."

"And what makes you so awesome?" Rarity asked. Hidden Darkness started flexing his hair.

"This, among other things," he said as Rarity gasped.

"How can you do that?" she gushed. Hidden Darkness shrugged.

"I've always been able to do that. It's in my genes," he said. Rarity frowned.

"I'm sorry, but could you not talk about what you have in your pants? These are young girls," Rarity said. Hidden Darkness sighed.

"Why does that always come up? I'm not talking about my genitals, I'm talking about my genetics," Hidden Darkness said. The girls started to snicker as Rarity gasped.

"What did I just say? I will say, the first one was my mistake, but please, don't speak like that with the girls around!"

"You must be their mom," Hidden Darkness said. "You're awfully protective of them." Rarity gasped.

"Sir, can I speak to you in private?" she asked thru gritted teeth.

"Sure, come inside," Hidden Darkness said.

"I will meet you at your door," Rarity said. "Those sunglasses make you look rather shady.

"So please, don't talk about anything sex related in front of the girls!" Rarity scolded.

"Ok. So I'm guessing you don't want them to come inside for the hair demonstration?" Hidden Darkness asked.

"No," Rarity said. "Speaking of which, were you really born with that ability?" Hidden Darkness nodded.

"I have been able to do that for as long as I can remember," Hidden Darkness said. Rarity nodded.

"Interesting. I have a friend who would love to study this gene," Rarity said. "So, what else are you able to do?"

"At the moment, nothing," Hidden Darkness said. "Unless you count my eyes, of course."

"What can you do with your eyes?" Rarity asked.

"Nothing," Hidden Darkness said. "I was referencing them because of what they look like. But I'd rather not show you that until I know I can trust you."

"You've shown me, and three other people your hair ability," Rarity said, looking at his hair.

"Yeah, of course I did. I did it to stop the rocket from going thru my window. And I wasn't ever bullied for that ability," Hidden Darkness said.

"Ok, how do I get your trust?" Rarity asked.

"Do you know anyone by the name Luna? Dark skin? Very tall?" Hidden Darkness asked.

Was this too fast? I'm trying not to do that.
