Blake, Max, Shylow and Jamie were sitting outside on the edge of the fountain with Bobby and Phoebe lying on the grass together near by and Kurt was hanging by his tail from a tree branch, in one the trees that lined the circle around the fountain. Trinity and Kitty would be the last of their group to arrive so they all decided to sit outside and enjoy the unusually warm weather, while waiting for the two girls to arrive. After an hour of mindless chatter Blake looked up to see a taxi pulling into the driveway, Trinity came stepping out along with another younger looking girl, they looked as though they could be related. Blake tapped Max on the shoulder while Shylow whistled to the Blonde who was standing near the steps. Both blondes met each others glance and squealed loudly.
The Group all stood and made their way over. Greetings were being exchanged when they younger girl who looked like Trinity scowled with a loud sigh and rolled her eyes.
"Shut up Chastity!" Trinity said calmly not looking at the other girl. Max and Phoebe waved at the girl trying to be friendly. The younger girl, Chastity smirked and raised her hand.
The group turned to see one of the stone benches that circled the edge of the fountain rise into the air in a cloud of Blue static energy. Before anyone could say anything the bench was flying toward them. It came within inches of landing on Phoebe, lucky enough for her, Bobby intercepted it, freezing it quickly to the ground in a pillar of ice. A moment later Storm came walking out, she eyed the bench curiously.
"Oh sorry Storm!" Bobby told her quickly, "I was practicing that ice tornado we worked on last semester and I accidentally picked up that bench! Phoebe and I will move it back." He finished explaining to the teacher his version of what had happened. She gave him a disbelieving look then turned to Chastity.
"Chastity, I'm Storm and I will be one of your teachers here at the institute. We are about to start the tour for you and the other new members of your class! Would you follow me please?" She asked the girl motioning to the institute front doors with her eyes. Chastity nodded, following Storm into the building. Everyone looked at Phoebe silently questioning her condition.
"I... I'm fine... I'm fine really!" She said shakingly curling into Bobby's arms as he embraced her.
Everyone expressed their concerns for her as she and Shylow melted then moved the bench back where it goes. While this was taking place Blake had been staring at the school in deep thought for several minutes.
"What's the word hummingbird?" Trinity asked her, tapping her on the shoulder. Blake turned to look at her, the words "I have a question" were written across her face.
"I know that there are seventh and eighth graders in this school but I don't think I've ever seen them on the second floor... where are their dorms?" She asked looking over at her Blonde room mate.
"Since mutations usually don't show themselves in a person till they're our age there aren't very many seventh and eighth grade students, so they have larger rooms upstairs but there are three to four of them in a room." Trinity told her pointing to the first few window on the third floor, "Phoebe, Tabitha and I we're all roomed together in seventh grade. In eighth Anna, Ruby and Clara we're in the room next to us originally and Anna's friend Meradith was with us, but we swapped her for Ruby half way through the year." She finished and turned to her friend who nodded and reached for one of her bags.
"Well lets get your stuff moved back upstairs!" The feral mutant exclaimed motioning toward the school. The Shape shifter nodded and headed toward the building, luggage in hand.

Ruby was sitting on a stool in the hospital wing, beside the bed of the boy she had found in the previous semester. He had yet to awake from his coma, but she still came to check on him every chance she got.
"I'm sorry I haven't been visiting much lately... I was back home with my family... but my friend Blake said she would come and see you when she got the chance!" Ruby told the boy smiling down at his peaceful, slumber like face.
She was surprised that someone in a coma could look that much at rest, it seemed like they should be fighting against their condition.
"I hope your Christmas went well... for being asleep anyway!" She told him, "Mine was alright... I spent a lot of time wondering how you were doing though..." She continued thinking about how preoccupied her mind had been over the break.
"You know when you wake up you will be able to stay if you want... be a student here... with me." She told him taking his hand and squeezing it. She smiled at him once again, laying his hand gently beside him on the bed before rising for her seat.
"I'm going to go see my friend Trinity since she should be back... I'll come check on you again soon I promise!" She told him as she walked toward the door.
