As much as you love your land, it's unlikely that you'd even be allowed on the land yet. The park sounds like a fine idea, but you can't pass on the opportunity to get a taste of your pretty waitress. You look at Allorah knowingly, and press the call button for Brandy. It doesn't take long for her to show up, and you wait for the twenty seconds from when the light comes on over the door for that door to open. Brandy pops in, smiling, and you instantly try to read her mind.


In her mind is a barrage of thoughts, feelings, and memories swirling around. You are lost in the complexity of it all for a moment before you withdraw. She is standing, staring off into the distance for an instant before shaking it off. It seems there was going to be a learning curve to using this power.


"Sorry," she says, "got lost there for a second. What can I do for you?"


"I think we're ready for desert," you say. "Could we get a banana split with the works, double strawberries instead of pineapple?"


"Right away," she replies as she starts to close the door.


"Oh, and could you leave the door opened?" you ask. "It's getting a bit stuffy."


"I'm sorry about that. Of course we can leave it open." She leaves the door open and makes her way back toward the kitchens.


"This is tougher than I thought it would be," you say.


"You just need some practice," says Allorah.


"That's why I asked her to leave the door opened." You focus on the other diners, trying to read their thoughts. It's overwhelming at first, but you persevere. Each mind is different, and you're finding it difficult to find the commonality to establish a routine. Maybe that is where your mistake lies. You have been treating it like a logic-based skill. Maybe if you treated it as a creativity based skill you would have more success? More art than science? You focus again, and try to read the mind of an older man at a table nearby. You let the thoughts, emotions, and memories wash over you without trying to sort through them. You focus on one of the memories, letting it wash over you. It isn't a particularly interesting one, simply a memory of him playing baseball as a child; but you revel in it nonetheless. You soon find that you can flit from memory to memory, even choosing the type of memory you want to see. Once you have that down, you start to work on surface thoughts. That seems to be much easier now that you've had a little practice. Emotions aren't too difficult after that. Working on altering things would have to wait, because at that moment Brandy came back with your desert.


"Here you are, sir," she says Brandy as she puts the desert on the table. "A banana split hold the pineapple, double strawberry. Will there be anything else?"


"Not right now," you say. You'd love to start working on her, but you want a little more practice first. You'll have to play with her when she brings the check.


"Well," says Allorah, pulling the banana split in front of her, "I'm eating this huge ice cream desert. You get some more practice."


"Yeah," you say as you look for another test subject. You see a young teen girl with her family, and start reading their minds. There isn't really anything unusual about the family, but it's good to get a feel for their minds anyway. You decide to test your abilities by making the girl feel like she needs to pee.


"I need to use the restroom," says the girl suddenly.


"Do you want me to come with you sweetheart?" asks her mother.


"Mooom," says the girl, "I'm fourteen, I don't need help using the bathroom." You try not to stare as she walks past your room on the way to the bathroom. Test one successful. On to the next. You wait until she leaves the bathroom, and give her the compulsion to flash her tits toward you. As she walks by your room, you try to look nonchalant. She looks around to see if anyone is looking, then quickly lifts her shirt, showing off her tiny, training bra clad breasts before rushing back to the table with her parents. Her cheeks are flushed as she sits down at the table. Reading her thoughts, you find out that the act gave her a rush of adrenaline. You may have just unintentionally made her an exhibitionist.


You feel that you have enough command of your new skill to try it on Brandy, and Allorah seems to have finished the banana split, without sharing even a bite with you. You find yourself wondering where she puts it all with her small frame. You shake that thought and move on to the next. You press the buzzer for Brandy. She arrives shortly thereafter, and you get a preliminary feel for the layout of her mind.


"What can I do for you?" she asks.


"Could I get the check please?" you ask.


"Right away, sir," she says with a smile.


She will be back any minute with the check. You need to decide what you want to do when she gets back.


What do you do when she gets back?
