Kitty Pryde – Day 1 – 11:44pm

Today went by like any other day. This morning I woke up to the usual chaotic mess. Kurt was teleporting all over the mansion trying to find out who stole his left sock. Rogue and Amara were fighting over who would use the bathroom first. Jean and Scott were being all romantic in the main living area *barf*. Jamie attempted to ask me out…again. Bobby put a stink bomb in Jubilee's room, which led to him lying in the infirmary. - Note to self: don't mess with Jubilee in the mornings - Evan was skateboarding all over the mansion, eventually knocking down Sam. They both also ended up in the infirmary as well. So this morning there was a total of three people injured, which I guess is better than yesterday's four. You get the picture; mornings at the Institute are like your typical day at the zoo. And you know what? Even though I complain about them all the time, I wouldn't have it any other way!

So since it was a Saturday, I decided to plan a mall trip with Rogue, Tabitha, Amara, and Jubilee. Rogue took more convincing than the others. I somehow agreed to do her laundry for a week if she would join us. So now I have to do extra chores in exchange for her having a fun girls day out…I gotta rethink my tactics. Anyways, we all had tons of fun! I even convinced Rogue to try on a cute outfit, which is considered a HUGE accomplishment on my part. Afterwards, Tabby drove us to Bayville Park - you can drive unsupervised with a learners permit, right? - where I ended up running into a certain earthquake-starting mutant. We talked for a full twenty minutes, until Todd got his foot stuck in a tree. Lance lectured him on how he should be more responsible around trees, and drove Todd home to look at his possibly broken ankle. There went that conversation.

We decided we've been out long enough, so Tabby took us home. During the car ride, Jubilee went on and on talking about how she would get Bobby back for the stink bomb incident. I wasn't paying much attention. Something about stealing clothes…? Like injuring him wasn't punishment enough. Poor guy! Jubilee's totally crushing on him, it's pretty obvious. But I won't tell her I know about it. I'll save that for whenever blackmail is needed. Wow, I just realized how evil that sounded. I think I'm hanging out with Rogue too much. Speaking of Rogue, she just acknowledged me as her friend! We've been getting pretty close lately, but she never came out and said it before, so I consider this a giant milestone in our friendship. All in all, it was a pretty good day. I wonder what tomorrow has in store for me. Can't wait!

Until next time.


Kitty got up from her desk and closed her journal. "Finished!" She declared with satisfaction. "How are you holding up?"

In reply, Rogue showed her an empty journal entry. "I can't do this." She said moodily.

"Well, you wrote your name down. That's a start."

"Maybe I'll just take the training sessions."

"Rogue! You know you don't mean that. Just start off by writing about your morning, like I did. Then go on and write about how the rest of your day went. It's easy."

"Whatever you say." Rogue grabbed the pen out of Kitty's hand and began to compose in her journal.
