Super Powers and Secrets

Piper and Jeff keep the horror of that night secret from even their closest friends, Dawson and Hez.

Piper would rather talk about other things. Her favorite subject is education, special education. Teens are her life, her volunteer work, her profession, and her research. Jeff understands teens, he and Piper have that in common, but his experience with educators is long and negative.

Dawson finds Hez annoying, always talking, always in motion, but cooking for the newly calorie-conscious annoyance could spice up the monotony of diner work. She comes into his diner nearly every day anyway and if there is one thing Dawson knows more about than food, it's dieting.

The Four, as they've been dubbed, start to grow tight volunteering together in their church's youth ministry but Dawson has regrets going back to his and Jeff's own teen years. What if Jeff remembers it too? Stress at home and in the family business pull at Jeff while Dawson's ever-defeating thoughts get the best of both of them.
