Deciding the X Men need to take a break to connect with their innermost selves, Professor Xavier gives everyone a week off of training sessions to write in journals. Read through everyone's personal thoughts as they are forced to write about their feelings about everything going on in their lives.

I do not own X Men: Evolution! I wish I did... :(

A Look Inside

"I called you all today to discuss the matters at hand." Professor Xavier said to the anxious students. It was a Sunday morning, which meant no training sessions. And the only time Xavier would call the students to meet in the Conference Room was if something serious was about to happen.

"Is something wrong, Professor?" Jean asked, her face full of concern.

"Don't worry Jean, what I'm about to tell you is not of critical matter."

The students let out a sigh of relief. The last thing anyone wants to do is re-live another Apocalypse situation.

"I gathered you here to speak my concerns on your own well-beings. It seems as though all of you in this room are too focused on helping others you have forgotten to care for yourselves."

This just added a wave of bemusement to the already confused X Men.

"So in order for you to reconnect with your selves, Ororo and I agreed it would be a good idea to allow all of you a week long break from training sessions."

All the students cheered with excitement. They hardly ever got any breaks, and when they did, it would only be two days at the most. After the group of eager teenagers calmed down, the Professor continued.

"But during this week of no training sessions, I want you to reflect on your lives."

"And how exactly are we supposed to do that?" Evan wondered.

Ororo stepped in, "We are going to give each of you a journal to write in for seven days of your break."

This just earned groans and a few eye rolls.

"We really think it will help bring the attention more towards your selves, bringing all your concerns to the forefront. Just so you will be able to approach them with care." She finished.

"I expect you to write at least a page every day for the next week. None of us are going to read any of your entries. We will simply flip through the journals at the end of the day to make sure you have written in them." Xavier added.

"What if we don't?" Kurt asked curiously.

"If you don't write in your journal, I will assume that you prefer training sessions with Logan."

Everyone in the room spontaneously faked excitement towards the assignment all at once.

"Can't wait!"

"Sounds like it will be a ton of fun!"

"I'm so excited!"

"I'm gonna decorate mine!"

The Professor smiled as Ororo handed out the navy blue journals to everyone in the room. "We hope that you will enjoy this little exercise and see the beneficial value of it."

With that, the students left the room and continued with their daily routines.

"I can't believe we have to write in journals. I think I'm gonna throw up!" Rogue said with disgust.

"It's not that bad." Kitty responded, attempting, but failing, to calm her friend down.

"Yea, to you. You already write in a journal! I have never written in one in my entire life."

"Then I guess it's time to start."

"You don't get it Kitty. I'm not the type of person who writes about her feelings. I'm the type of person who thinks that's complete bull."

"It's okay Rogue. We all have to do it. You're not alone on this."

"I still don't like the idea of keeping a stupid journal."

"Well, think of it this way, would you rather be doing training sessions with Logan all week?"

"Yes."

"Come on Rogue. It'll take less than twenty minutes each day. I'll even help you get started."

She let out a heavy sigh. "Fine."

As Kitty was about to walk up the door, Rogue stopped her.

"Thanks Kit. You're a good friend."

Kitty smiled and continued walking.
