"There!" Anita exclaimed as she grabbed the dictaphone away from Mark's hands. The boy was quite surprised by the speed of Anita's move, and tried to get the device back, but Anita kept it behind her back.
"Hey, give it back!" Mark ordered.
"I just saw what this thing did, Mark. You said something and it turned out true. And for some reason, no one but us noticed."
"Okay, yes, shhh!" Mark tried to calm her down "Now, give it back! It's mine!"
"For how long have you been using this, Mark? Big secret there you had!"
"Listen, give it back!" Mark was angry now, and Anita, a lot smaller than he was, knew she wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Okay, okay..." Anita sighed "Take it" she said, slowly getting her hands from her back, Mark having his eyes glued on the dictaphone as it appeared in her hand.
"I just found it" he confessed, relieved "I was gonna tell Sammy... eeer, I mean, Sammy and you, of course" he admitted.
Immediately, Anita froze.
"Wait, what? Sammy? She already has everything! You just found ultimate power and you wanted to give them to her? Come on, your good guy stuff is ridiculous now!"
"Shhhh!" insisted Mark "Later, please, give it back now!"
"Alright..."
Anita presented the dictaphone to him, but the second Mark reached for it, she moved her hand right to her mouth and pressed the record button :
"Mark can see the alterations of the dictaphone but can't touch it!"
"Wait, no!" Mark shouted, as he tried to reach for it... but his hand fell right next to the dictaphone. He tried to grab it again, but it was like he couldn't properly control his hand whenever it was close to the dictaphone. Mark couldn't believe it... and obviously, neither could Anita, smiling at him stupidly, like she wasn't even sure herself it'd work. A few persons walking by noticed Mark's weird moves, but guessed it was another drunk moron at this party. Anita pushed the dictaphone under his nose, and Mark instinctively moved back.
"Anita, stop it! What did you do?! Erase this record!" Mark exclaimed
"It worked! It worked!" she chirped
"Yes, it worked! Now, erase it!"
"No way!" Anita told "It's too cool! Sorry Mark, I can't just let you give everything to Sammy once more!" she couldn't help but read the distress on his face and quickly added "Don't worry, I'll give you a few cool changes, it's just... it's just safer in my hands than in yours!"
