Second installment

Monday

Had another meeting w/the X-Men. They wanted me to take Sunday to reflect and think about my decision. And it was hard.

I'm not an X-man. Xavier told me when I talked to him about it that he wanted me to go to school first, before I signed up.

"But think about it. My healing factor's almost as fast as Logan's." But he refused. I've taken a few defense classes but that doesn't amount to much. And I've heard so many horrible things about the "Terrorist group" named the Brotherhood.

But then again, it's Johnny.

It's Johnny and he's my best friend. Even if he is a jack ass and even if we haven't talked in a few months.

But I made my choice. Nothing really bad would happen. (Right?) So I told them I'd do it and they went into a flurry of strategic planning.

"We could stage a fall out and…"

"No, no that would make her like a spy, and who knows what they'd do if…"

"What if we call Magneto?"

"No, he'd never agree then-"

Everyone's voices melted together as I thought about it.

Really what was the big deal? What was so hard about it? Obviously Xavier knew where they were and could give me a satellite phone. Of course if anyone else came w/me it'd be seen as an act of war or some other crap, but they couldn't really cause any lasting damage to me, and they couldn't rightly attack the X-Men just because I'd shown up.

"You guys." I called to silence the room. "Remember the SAT prep class?" I asked Xavier. "Aren't we making this out to be harder than it is?"

"This is more serious than you expect," Storm started but was interrupted by Xavier.

"No," He said in his cultured voice. "I believe she's right."

Then the plotting turned into simply planning when and how I'd arrive, what I'd do and how I'd do it.

Tuesday

They want to send me out son. I guess they set up camp closer to Canada's border so I'm packing strong (and heavy) camping clothes. Of course that just means I'm leaving anything made of silk or that's dry clean only. All of my normal clothes are getting thrown into the smallest duffle I can get and I'm only taking one pair of Vans, one pair of hiking boots and one pair of flip-flops.

I'm also going shopping with Logan!! For outdoor camping survival stuff. So later today that's what I'll be doing. I've been so busy w/meetings w/the X-Men (and all my old school friends have class when the X-Men aren't w/me) that I haven't had the chance to see my friends much.

Well, gotta go shop w/the manliest man around! I'm glad our mutations are so alike. Makes it so much easier to stand each other :P

AN-Shopping w/Wolverine!! Tell me what you think, tell me if you want more, hell, just tell me you read it!
