As he left his bedroom, Jon heard the heavy metal music blasting through the house, just as usual. His Goth sister Zoe drove him nuts with that music. Why did she have to play it so loud?
He knocked on her bedroom door. But she didn't open it. "Zoe!" Jon yelled, hoping his voice could be heard over the music. "Open this door!"
And a moment later, the door opened. But that could have been just her usual self, begrudgingly complying to him. Jon needed a real test of his power. Something she'd never ever do normally.
"What do you want?" she asked, irritated by his interruption.
"Zoe, turn that music off," Jon said.
"You know what? That music is a little loud, isn't it? I think I'll turn it off," she said, heading over to her stereo. Then she turned it off. "It was kind of giving me a headache anyway."
Jon smiled inwardly. It worked! Now, should he tell Zoe to do something else? Or use his power on someone different?
