Double Trouble by Tia Mowry

vision?” Caitlyn said.
    I shoved a forkful of peas into my mouth. Mom was working late, and Cait and I were eating the dinner she’d left us to heat up.
    â€œPretty sure,” I said. “I mean, what other pool would it be? It must have been our party I saw.”
    â€œYou didn’t actually see us there, though,” Cait pointed out.
    â€œYeah. That’s part of the problem.” I speared another pea and stared at it. “I’m worried that one of us could be, you know, the victim.” My eyes widened as another thought occurred to me. “Or maybe both of us are going to be victims!”
    A chill ran down my spine as I realized that theory made a weird kind of sense. Neither of us had appeared in any of the visions. Maybe Bianca was crying over Cait, and Lavender was crying over me.
    â€œWhat could possibly happen to both of us at the same time?” Caitlyn said.
    I grimaced. “Car crash, maybe?” I said. “Or the pool heater could go crazy and electrocute us. Lots of stuff could happen.”
    â€œUgh! Don’t even say that.” Cait put down her fork, looking worried. “Maybe we should cancel. It’s not worth someone getting hurt.”
    â€œYeah, especially me,” I joked. Then I sighed. “But we can’t cancel. What would we tell everyone? We’d look like total flakes.”
    â€œThat’s better than ending up in the hospital,” Cait said. She was staring into space, twirling the ends of her hair between her fingers. She always did that when she was deep in thought.
    â€œWhat?” I demanded. “What are you thinking about?”
    â€œThat letter,” she said. “I know we didn’t get to read much of it. But the part we did see said something about us learning to manage our powers.”
    â€œI know. Too bad we didn’t get the details.” I frowned at Mom’s empty seat.
    Caitlyn shrugged. “At least now we know it’s possible to control this, at least somewhat, right? Plus we think that necklace strengthens the visions or whatever. Our grandmother must have known that. She probably sent it to help us.”
    I was starting to see what she was getting at. “So maybe we should try to figure it out on our own?” I guessed. “We don’t have much time, though. It’s already Tuesday, and the party’s on Saturday.”
    â€œI know, I know. But listen, I was also thinking about what Ms. Xavier said.”
    I grimaced. The social studies teacher had been bugging me every chance she got about her stupid idea for me and Cait to work together. Fat chance. It was bad enough that Cait and I had some bizarre twin-power thing going. We didn’t need to do a report on it for the weirdest teacher in school.
    â€œThings are strange enough around here without getting her involved,” I said, reaching for the salt.
    â€œI’m not talking about getting her involved,” Cait said. “I was just thinking how she mentioned doing twin experiments—you know, to see if we could read each other’s minds or whatever?”
    â€œTwintuition,” I said with a half smile. “That’s what we used to call it when we tried to guess each other’s thoughts, remember?”
    â€œI remember.” Cait smiled back. “So maybe we should give it a try. Do some experimenting, see if we can control the visions more. That’ll give us a better chance of figuring out exactly what we’ve been seeing—and how to stop it.”
    I took another bite of my food while I thought about it. “I guess it couldn’t hurt to try.”
    We finished eating quickly and cleared the table. Then we sat down again, facing each other.
    â€œNow what?” I said.
    â€œI’m not sure.” Cait grabbed both my hands. “Let’s try to focus and see if that brings on a vision.”
    I nodded, squeezing her hands. Closing my eyes,I thought about
