Molly woke up and got ready, then going down to breakfast. She found she wasn't in a good mood at all this morning, which was unusual for her. "Good morning!" Kitty chirped as Molly sat at the table. "Uhhngh,"Molly put her head down sideways, groaning.

"Uh, something wrong?" Rogue asked in a sarcastic tone. Molly didn't catch the sarcasm and answered anyway, "It's just one of those days. I'm really not in a good mood, so I suggest if you don't want to get your head lopped off you might just wanna, um, leave me alone to sulk. Sometimes I just get upset for no reason and I get really cranky or sad. I don't wanna know what I'll do WITH mutant powers feeling like this."

Kitty smiled, "Aw, cheer up! It's a nice day out and-"

Suddenly Molly turned into a German shepherd and let out a growl at the valley girl, even baring canine teeth.
Molly hopped off the chair, foregoing breakfast to go outside into the backyard. "Well, I guess someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Kitty fed Lockheed a cracker crumb.

Molly lay on the grass, only to realize it was still wet with morning dew.
"Yuck!" She got up to sit in a lawn chair instead.

She thought, 'I wish I knew why I'm so cranky. Maybe it's just part of my mutation? Animals get upset too.
No, that can't be it.'

Rogue came up and sat down next to her, "Ah know you're not in the mood to talk, but all the girls are going to go shopping later. Ah thought you might like to come along."

Molly looked surprised. She didn't know Rogue very well but she didn't seem like the type of person to be the first to reach out. Rogue saw the look on Molly's face, "Ah know, Ah don't seem very social.
Heck, since you arrived I've barely said anything to you."

"No, it's not your fault. I'm really shy and quiet. I don't talk to people much myself. Everyone, I don't know,
they see me as invisible sometimes."

"Ah wouldn't say that. Ah can think of ONE person that's taken a shine to you. Of course, that's how he is with most girls, so it's not really surprising. Uh, no offense."

"Non taken. I know not everyone around here trusts Remy but I think he's got a good heart. I mean, he wouldn't be here if he wasn't truly good. And he's nice and all, but you're reading him wrong. He really doesn't like me like that. I-I wish he did, but it's not going to happen."

"Whatever you say. Why don't you come back and have breakfast? It might make you feel a little better," Rogue offered.

"Yeah, I guess. Um, I'd love to go shopping later, though. Thanks for the invite,"

"No problem,"

The two girls went back inside. The rest of the students had come in so food wasn't going to be available for very long.
Molly grabbed up food as fast as she could and sat at the table. Rogue sat next to her and who should sit on the other side but Remy LeBeau.
"Morning," He smiled at the two girls.

Molly swallowed a very large bite of food, brushing her fingers through her hair in an attempt to look presentable,
"Uh, Good morning."

Rogue rolled her eyes at Molly's obviousness and said, "You know Cajun, we were having a private conversation."

Remy smiled mischievously, "What, Rougey? You think I'm really gonna care if you girls talk about boys?"

Molly looked embarrassed, but didn't say anything.

"Ugh! Just forget it! We'll talk later, Molly," Rogue stormed off.

Remy chuckled to himself, "It's fun pushing her buttons," He looked over at Molly. "So what are your plans for today, Petite?"

Molly took a piece of muffin, "Gonna go shopping with the rest of the girls, I guess. I woke up in kind of a bad mood so Rogue invited me."

Remy looked concerned, "Why are you in a bad mood? Nightmares, perhaps?"

"Oh, no. Sometimes I just get upset. Everyone gets upset sometimes, right?" Molly ate the piece of muffin.

"Yeah, but there's usually a cause. Boy problems, maybe? Someone you...like?"

Molly almost spat out her food. She quickly swallowed.
"Uh, like? Ahahaha! Who said I like anyone?"

Remy leaned in so close that their noses almost touched. "You can tell me. I know I asked you out,
but, you know, maybe that could make some guy jealous."

Molly stared at at him for what seemed like a long time.

"Um...well..."

"Well?"

She smiled, "Hey, you know what? I've gotta go practice my morphing. Can't get better if I don't practice.
I'll see you later!" She ran off.

Remy just smiled to himself.
