Yeah...long time no story, huh? well sorry it's just i got stuck on the middle of the second chapter and my plan was to finish 6ish chapters (I only have 4 full and 1/2 of five but don't worry! I don't have writers block!) So my plan is to update every other Sunday to give me time to write a little more every day. And those of you who are upset that I didn't upload Custody of Satan or Chameleon...I'm working on them and have come up against unforseen complications (Mostly with Chameleon) So, after reading my Authors note: Enjoy!
Chapter One: Their Past
September 7th, 1996
"Mommy! I wanna go home!" the five year old girl cried, clutching her mother's leg.
"Margret, you have to go to school," her mother sighed. Margret sniffed again and clung tighter to her mother's leg, "Margret, I'm leaving."
"But Mommy!" Margret cried as her arms were pulled off her mother's leg.
"Margret, I've got to go. Now be a good girl and stay here. I'll be here when the big hand hit's the 3, ok?" her mother said before kissing the top of her dark red-brown hair.
"Bye Mommy," she sniffed and looked at the ground. Margret just stood there for a few minutes before a boy came over. The little brunet boy stood only a few inches taller then her.
"Why are you crying?" he asked nonchalantly. Margret didn't even look up, "Hello? I'm talking to you, pigtails."
"My name's Margret," she said, so quietly the boy barely heard her. He wrinkled his nose at the name.
"My cousin's name is Margret. I don't like her very much," he told her.
"My daddy used to call me Maggie," she offered, sniffing again.
"Ok, Maggie. I'm John," he said proudly. John grabbed Maggie's hand and dragged her over to the legos, "Come on, me and my friends need a damsel for our game."
"What's a damsel?" Maggie asked, John shrugged.
"David says we need one. I get to be the dragon that tries to kill the knights," he said, stopping at three other boys, "Maggie, this is David, Evan and Freddie."
"Hi!" the blonde haired David said happily.
"Hello," Evan said shyly, his light brown hair falling in his face. Freddie waved enthusiastically.
"Ok, so here's the plan. John gets to guard Maggie while Evan, Freddie and I have to kill him and save Maggie," David announced.
They played until it was time for snack and learning. Soon it was 3 o'clock and Maggie left, waving goodbye to her new friends. They would be friends for years until a big fallout in 7th grade.

Maggie laughed at John as he imitated their teacher, Mr. GrassCamp. He had just given John detention because he had been playing with some of the instruments they were using for an experiment.
"Come on Johnny! We're going to be late for lunch," she said, dragging him along.
"Yay! Food! This is my favorite time of day," John said, Maggie fake pouted.
"Isn't your favorite time of day when I'm around?" she teased.
"Nope," he teased back. They reached the lunch table, Maggie sat down while John just dropped his stuff off since Maggie brought lunch and John bought it. When he came back, David, Evan and Freddie were already there.
"Hey John," Freddie said and the others looked up.
"Hey guys," he replied before sitting next to Maggie.
"Did you hear about the mutant attack?" David asked.
"Yeah! Mutants are so dumb, why are they even alive?" Freddie snickered.
"I say we find them all and make them work for us. They're no use any other way. Muties should just be killed or forced into labor. Humans are so much better," Evan laughed. John just stared at his food, afraid his secret would be revealed and his friends would turn on him.
"Wow, you guys sound like Nazis," Maggie said, glaring at her friends.
"We are not like those maniacs! They wanted to kill a race of humans. Mutants aren't humans, they're vial creatures that shouldn't live!" David protested.
"That's exactly what a Nazi would say! I can't sit here and listen to this conversation one more time! Why don't you find a nice Nazi group and join them!" Maggie stormed away. John glanced up.
"You staying with us John?" Freddie asked.
"She's right, you guys are all a bunch of racists," he said and followed her. He began to click his brother's lighter as he walked away, a nervous tick of his.
"Hey Allerdyce! Think fast!" Evan's voice came and John turned around to see his plastic tray flying toward him. John didn't think, he just clicked the lighter and burned the tray to bits before it touched him. When the fire was out, he realized everyone was silent and staring at him.
"He's a mutie!" David called, outraged, "Get him!"
John bolted out of the cafeteria and tried to get away from the small mob. Eventually, he was able to hide behind a trash can. They passed by him and he jumped out of his hiding place after a few minutes. Unfortunately for him, they realized they had been tricked and came back to find John. Suddenly John was dragged out the window behind him and into a bush.
"Shhh!" Maggie said and held her hand on his mouth. They waited for an hour before they ran to Maggie's house. Both didn't say a word until they got there and hid in her basement. Luckily Maggie's parents worked until late at night so neither would get in trouble because they skipped the last hour and a half of school.
"Why did you help me?" John asked quietly as they watched mindless cartoons.
"Because you're my best friend, why do ya think?" she answered, giving him a curious look.
"So you don't care I'm a mutant?" he asked, waiting for rejection.
"Were you listening to me at lunch or were you staring at Laura Finagin's boobs again?" Maggie patronized him but smiled all the same. John didn't say anything but he gave her a one armed hug.
May 19th, 2003
"Do you have to go?" Maggie asked again, taking more cloths out of John's suitcase and putting them back in his bureau.
"Yes," John replied, putting more cloths into the suitcase.
"But I don't want you to go," Maggie repeated her earlier action and John repeated his.
"Ya know that making me take longer to pack isn't going to stop me," he pointed out.
"No but I get to spend more time with you," she said. Tears began forming in her eyes and one fell. John's eyes widened.
"Please don't cry Maggie, please," he practically begged her.
"But I can't help it," she sniffed and tried to stop but it was to no avail. Maggie began crying her eyes out.
"You know I can't handle crying," he whined but hugged her anyways.
"Please don't go," she said.
"I have to," John told her.
"Promise me you'll write or call me everyday," she said after calming down a bit.
"Do I have to," John joked.
"John!" Maggie warned, sniffing again.
"I promise," he answered.
"And I'll always be your number one best friend," she added.
"Even if they do have cool powers," he told her.
"And promise me you'll never forget me," Maggie said, looking into his eyes and holding up a pinky.
"I promise I'll write or call every day, you'll always be my number one best friend and I'll never forget you," he said and intertwined their pinkies.
"John! Professor Xavier and Mr. Summers are here!" John's mother called to him.
"I'll be down in a minute!" he yelled back. He and Maggie hurried around the room, throwing stuff into the suitcase. When they finally closed the suitcase, with some struggle, they ran down stairs.
"Hello John, Maggie," the kind professor greeted them. Mr. Summers gave them a smile but said nothing, "Are you ready to go, John?"
"I guess," he said with a glance at Maggie. She nodded, wiping her eyes. The three began to walk away, into a large jet that had landed in the Allerdyce's backyard.
"John!" Maggie yelled. He turned around just in time to catch her in a hug. Without thinking, John kissed her. It was over before it started and John ran up the jet's ramp after realizing what he had done. Maggie stood there staring at the jet, now zooming away, and touching the spot where John had kissed her.
