The next day was a happy day for everyone. Daniel was in an extremely good mood, and luck was definitely on everyone's side that day. Walter and Michelle saw everyone's happy faces and decided to cook a special lunch for everyone.
"So, Psychic Boy, what's for lunch?" asked Leonie jokingly.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, it sure smells good!" replied Daniel, to Leonie's surprise.
"You sure you don't know?" asked Leonie.
"I have no idea," replied Daniel. "Why?"
"Daniel, have you realised that since your birthday," said Leonie, "this is the first time you weren't able to guess what lunch was?" Daniel was surprised. Indeed, he had absolutely no idea what on Earth lunch could be. In fact, he didn't receive any premonitions of any sort the whole day. He couldn't even read anyone's mind, not even Darren's.
"I think something's happening to me," said Daniel as he and Leonie sat down with the rest of the gang for lunch.
"What's happening to you?" asked Anna-Maria, who couldn't help but overhear.
"I don't know for certain," replied Daniel. "It seems like my powers are tapering off..."
"No clue," said Daniel. "Might as well try!" He tried to guess what everyone was thinking - he didn't get anything. He then tried to lift one of the spoons of the table - the spoon gave no response. Darren then voluntereed for Daniel to try rubbing his back - it was nothing like before. Daniel had definitely lost his soft, magic touch, and Darren now felt like really tough dough.
"He's lost it," said Darren. "Daniel's lost his powers...he's normal!" Everyone cheered and gave a toast "to Daniel - for being normal!"
"Thanks a lot," said Daniel, laughing. "But I do wonder why..."
"I think it was due to yesterday," said Darren. "All your powers must have built up in your brain and turned into pure energy...making you unusually angry. Besides, you've lost that blue glitter."
"Yeah, you're right," affirmed Daniel. "Well, I'm a little sad that my powers are gone...but at least I'm no longer a freak show!"
"I know what I'll miss most from Daniel," said Darren. "His back rubs!" Everyone just laughed, including Daniel, who pretended to squeeze Darren like a wet towel. After lunch they all went to the studio for recording, the last thing on their mind being Daniel's magical powers.
