### = POV change

Molly dragged herself home from a day of college. She'd been at the institute for only a few weeks,
but a routine had quickly built up; Get up, go to school, come home and maybe have a danger room session, eat dinner and go to bed. She collapsed onto the couch, ready for a nap.
"Hey, Cherie," Molly jerked up to see Remy standing there. She must've been more tired then she thought as she hadn't heard him come into the room. "Uh, hi Remy," She rubbed one of her eyes sleepily.
He took a seat next to her.

"I've been thinking about it and now I know you're the one for me. So, Cherie, would you like to date me?" Remy held out a rose to her.

Molly's mouth was hanging open, "Yes! I mean, no! I think I'm hallucinating. You'd never do that, you don't like me like that.
If I close my eyes it'll all just go away," She closed her eyes. After a few moments she opened them again and looked around. Remy was gone.

Molly looked around. "...Oookay. I've lost it."

"Lost what?" Remy said from behind her. Molly looked over to face him, "Huh? Weren't you just in here?!"

"Um, no. Are you feeling okay, Petite?" Remy said.

"I don't know. I think I need to go lie down for a nap," Molly put a hand to her forehead. Maybe she was coming down with something.

"You look like you need it, but I'm afraid there's a danger room session scheduled for this afternoon," Remy said.

"Great. Is it Wolverines? Please say no," Molly grimaced.

"Actually it's mine," Remy answered.

"Yours? Since when do you head sessions?" Molly looked surprised.

"Since yesterday. Professor thought it would be good to give me a little responsibility," Remy looked proud.

"Okay. Meet you down there in a bit," Molly said.

"You're sure? I can let you skip it this time," Remy looked concerned.

"I'm sure," Molly smiled.

***********

Molly dodged lasers and robots as a human.
"UMPH!!" Unfortunately she ran face first into a steel wall. She fell onto her back.

"Oww," Molly rubbed her head.

"Man, uh, woman, I mean, person down!" Bobby cried out, waving his arms up at the control tower.

The session stopped immediately.

Remy came down from the control tower and ran over to where Molly was.
Molly got up, but her head was spinning. Remy held her steady.
"Why'd you stop the session? I'm fine. I mean, aside the from the fact that I'm seeing stars.
Okay, so maybe I'm not doing so good," Molly said in a dizzy voice.

"Session's over kids. Come on, let's get you to the infirmary," Remy said as he picked Molly up swiftly.

"Um, I can walk,"

"Not when you just ran into a three foot thick steel wall,"

"Good point," Molly was blushing madly. Molly was at least glad she'd lost some weight through all the exercise. She thought Remy might not have been able to pick her up-much less carry her-otherwise,
"Um, thanks. I appreciate it."

"you're welcome," They reached the elevator and got in. Remy continued holding her.

They were silent for a while.
"I guess I should've used my power or something," Molly said quietly.

"I think if you had it wouldn't have made a difference. You said you were tired, I should've just had you sit it out," Remy answered.

"Well it was me too. I'm just really stubborn," Molly said.

"Okay, but the next time you say you're tired you'd better skip the session," Remy looked serious.

They reached the infirmary. Beast checked for a concussion and other injuries, but Molly was doing okay, just a little dizzy.

"Go catch a nap. It'll do you some good," Beast smiled.

"Okay, thanks Mr. Mcoy," Molly got up and left.

Remy smiled, watching her leave, "She's a sweet kid."

"Yes, she's sweet, but she's almost as old as you are. You shouldn't be calling her a kid," Beast replied.

Remy shrugged, "She's like a little sister to me."

"I'm surprised you see her that way considering your track record with women," Beast said casually.

"Just because she's a cute girl doesn't mean I'm gonna hit on her. I don't know how many times I've explained that. I know I'm a flirt but I have my limits. Besides, we don't have any chemistry anyway.
And she's really not my type at all," Remy looked defensive.

"Chemistry isn't always a factor. Sometimes you can overlook someone's flaws or your first impression of them," Beast answered.

Remy waved the notion away, "Nothing's gonna happen," He walked away as Beast smiled in an annoying way before continuing his work.

Molly slept soundly for almost an hour, then she woke up. "Ah, much better." She went to her desk and took out some cards with pictures of animals on them.

The professor thought flash cards with images might better help her to develop her powers.
So far, besides turning into a rabbit, she'd learned to turn into an elephant, a baby elephant, a great dane a ferret,
a grizzly bear and a horse.

"Okay, what's first? A golden retriever, awesome."

She put the cards down on her bed and tried to concentrate. Unfortunately her concentration was intterupted by thoughts of earlier with what happened with Remy. She shook her head, "I can think about him later. Right now I have to do this."

She stood there picturing the dog in her mind. After a few moments she saw fur on her hands and her hands turned into paws. The rest followed through.
'Ha-ha! I DID IT'
"BARK, BARK!" She said excitedly.
'Oops. I probably shouldn't be so loud,' She thought.

The sense of smell was amazing. She now saw in black and white.
Molly could hear everything going on around her. She went outside her room to explore.

"Hey, it's a dog! How'd you get in here?" Jamie Maddrox ran over to her.
He started to pet her and scratch behind her ears.

Molly wagged her dog tail. 'This is nice. No wonder dogs like people so much.
I guess I'd better change back though.'

Molly backed up a few steps and changed back to normal, "Um, sorry Jamie. I was just practicing my morphing."

Jamie's face fell. "Aw, I thought you were a real dog!" Jamie then looked like he had an idea.
"I have to go talk to the professor! Later, Molly."

"Uh, bye," She said.

Suddenly Molly sensed something behind her.
"Mmm. You smell nice, Cherie," Remy said.

"Remy?! Wha--what are you doing?!" Molly freaked out.

"Just spending time with the best girlfriend in the world,"

Molly blinked. "Okay, this is crazy. I think I really need to get more sleep or something!
I'm going to close my eyes again and you'll go away," She closed her eyes. When she opened them he was gone.

She decided to go to the infirmary again.

Molly was half-way there when The senior X-Men came running in the direction she'd just came from.
"What's going on?" She asked.

"We just got a call. There's a building on fire downtown. The fire department can't handle it.
They need our help. You'd better come too. We're gonna need everyone," Kitty said.

Molly nodded. Thankfully she was already in her uniform.
The team ran to the X-van and they were off.
