"Thats why we're here, if you take my meaning. Jess and I have the same power. Both of us shift into galahs."

"As you're evidently identical twins, this certainly makes sense as well. I take it you're interested in learning more control over your shifting?"

"Beg pardon?" Chloe said, looking first and Sam and then at Jess, a confused expression on her face.

"We have?" Jess replied, having not really noticed it. She thought about it, then looked a little sheepishly at her sister. "We have."

"Now I realize that is another first as you've evidently not met before coming here, but I'm curious: did that start before or after the tandem shifting?"

"Likely a side-effect of the link."

"Hope you've no secrets or habits which annoy each other. You'll likely be sharing both if this progresses."

"It freaked me out a little at first, but I think I can handle it." She looked over at Chloe, unsure. She wanted to add something else, but didn't want to embarass her twin.

"It's likely that this is an aspect of your mutant powers that did not have a chance to develop as you weren't in physical proximity. As you are now, it's coming back with a vengeance. It can be a bit much to take in."

Jess silently cursed their parents, not for the first time since meeting Chloe, but kept silent, waiting for Sam's answer.

"You've perhaps been meant to shift in tandem all along, but the telepathic link which would enable it was absent."
