Marco Polo (John Lets Alex Win)

Alex goes to one side of the pool, closes her eyes, and begins counting to ten while John quietly swims to another area of the pool. When Alex finishes counting she reaches her hands out and wades through the water, "Marco!" she shouts.

John likes the idea of handling his twin sister's unmentionables and decides to let her win. He stealthily swims right up behind Alex and whispers in her ear "Polo."

Alex quickly swings around and accidentally hits John in the head with her out stretched arms. She instantly opens her eyes and apologizes, "Oh shit, sorry. I didn't expect you to whisper in my ear like that."

John laughs as he rubs his head, "Haha it's fine. Just thought it'd be funny."

"Still counts as a win for me." Alex says matter-of-factly.

"Of course." John swims to the other side of the pool and closes his eyes as he begins counting. Alex swims to the edge of the pool as far as she can get from her brother. As John finishes counting he reaches out and yells, "Marco!"

Alex responds, "Polo!" she shouts before quietly swimming from her current spot. John purposely avoids finding his sister and lets the timer run out. "Ha! I win again!" Alex exclaims proudly. "One more win for me and it's an absolute blowout." She taunts her brother.

The next round goes quickly as John allows himself to get found. "Damn sis, you're unstoppable." John says.

"Damn right." Alex replies smugly. She gets out of the pool and John can't help but check out her ass as she does. She turns back to her brother with a smirk, "Guess I should set my laundry basket out. You've got work to do." She drys herself of and heads inside. John stays in the pool for a few minutes before doing the same.

After washing the chlorine off in the shower John heads to his room. As he enters the room he see a strange book sitting on his bed. The book is purple and has strange pink designs on the cover that almost seem to faintly glow. Wondering where the strange book came from, John picks it up to expect it. He opens the book and finds that only the first page has any writing and it seems to be in Latin.

John attempt to read the words out loud, "Volo enim potestas" As he says the words a pleasurable tingling sensation courses through his body and some of the blank pages of the book begin to fill with what look to be spells. The words are not in English but somehow John can understand every word. He look through the now filled pages and can't believe what he's seeing.

There are many spells including ones that allow the caster to temporarily enchant a person, a spell that grant the ability to change the caster's own appearance, and even one with the power to turn invisible. Each spell only seems to last an hour.

John is skeptical, believing this must be some sort of prank by one of his sisters, but decides there's no harm in trying one of the spells and reads the incantation to turn invisible. He says the incantation "Inuisibilitas" and attempt the hand gestures described on the page and as he finishes he looks down at his hands and when still sees them, he sighs, "Knew it was too good to be true." He walks toward his bedroom to leave in disappointment, but when he passes by the mirror he stop in his tracks as he notices he has no refection.

"Holy shit!" He exclaims. "So I can see myself, but no one else can? I guess that kinda makes sense." John decides to give it a test and have some fun messing with Alex.
