"Can you stop moving!" Alex yelled aloud. His voice was barely audible through the whipping wind as they flew atop his hoverboard.
Etienne shifted slightly, still trying to get comfortable on the cramped, flat vehicle, "Would you prefer I stand up and hold on to you?"
Alex sighed and shook his head, "Look, we're already near Seaside. Let's get off and walk from here. That'll be less conspicuous too, in case Team Wet is watching us."
Etienne nodded his head, and Alex shakily lowered his hoverboard to the ground. Etienne hopped off quickly.
Alex touched his chest, and a video game-like blue menu appeared in thin air. There were six items in the circular menu, simply labeled 1 through 6. Alex pressed 1, then clicked a small confirm button below the menu.
The menu and his hoverboard disappeared. Futuristic white armor covered all of his joints, along with his head and feet.
Etienne looked him up and down, "When did you learn you could do all of that?"
