"Thanks!" said Dylan, taking his magazine back, "This is so cool! I...I really wanted to meet you, and I've been so excited about coming here and...and could I get a photograph? Please? Just, of you?"
"Sure!" said Flavius.
Flavius leaned casually against a pillar while Dylan took out his phone to take a picture.
"Thanks!" he said, about to line up a shot. He was about to click it, when...

A blinding flash of golden light shot through the air! The pure burst of cosmic energy hit a boy in the chest and blasted him off his feet, sending him skidding back across the pavement for over a yard! Dylan gasped!

"Hi!" said Dylan, smiling. Eric waved back.
"You're friends with Flavius? That's so cool!"
Eric blushed.
"Yeah...uh, Eric Wintergreen, nice to meet you".
"Dylan Richards".
The two boys smiled at each other.
"What are you doin' here, dude?" Flavius asked.
"I wanted to hang out!" said Eric.
"Uh-huh? Yeah? Sure...c'mon! Hey, Dylan, you want to come with? We're..."
