Karine's Point of View, sort of:
"Watch where you land feather boy!"
She shouted at the man with wings who had landed on her, obviously another mutant. She wriggled to get out from underneath his shoes. Pushing against the side it she finally was out from under it. Panting she leaned against the shoe, careful of her wings, and tried to catch her breath.
Finally she looked up. He was staring at her, wide eyed and mouth open, he looked like a little boy in front of the monkey house at the zoo. Well its not like he has never seen a girl before. Then she realized that she , at the moment, was not a girl but a flower fairy. She started to laugh.
Flying up to his face, she looked at him and grinned. "Hey." He fainted. Thankfully he had crumpled and not fallen on his back or else he would of crushed his wings. Shifting back to a human she realized that he was about 8 inches taller than her measly 5'4, and about 40 pounds heavier than she was, or so she guessed. She wouldn't be able to him in her currant form and she wanted to get him out of the hot sun.
Shifting into a small giant she dragged him into the shade created by the trees surrounding the meadow. She shifted again into a healer to see if anything had happened to his body physically when he fainted. She found nothing but some day old bruises but she healed them anyway, even if they had nothing to to with her.
Within a few minutes he started to wake up. Shifting back into a human, Karine watched him as he sat up and looked around. "Hey" she said. He just looked at her. After a few seconds passed by he quizzically asked, "Did you see a fairy around me by any chance when you somehow got me ender the tree line?"
She started to laugh again.

Warren's Point of View, sort of:
To him it had been a perfectly normal question, well maybe not perfectly normal perhaps but a good one any way. She kept laughing. He trusted her sort of. She know he was a mutant, but had nothing to him when he had been out. He could only assume that she was laughing at his question. Slowly he laughter died down. Looking him in the eye she replied, "I didn't see a fairy near you, but I have seen one once or twice up here before."

Karine's Point of View, sort of:
She couldn't believe she had said that with a straight face, even if it was true. She never really looked at herself in flower fairy shift unless she caught glimpses of her self in portions of the brook gurgling next to the meadow that were still.
"Why?" she asked. Hoping to get at least an interesting answer.
"No reason," he replied, "this just looks like a place where fairies would hang out."
"So why are you up here?" she said, as she stood up and leaned against the tree behind her.
"I'm looking for Karine."
Instantly she turned suspicious, but didn't let it show on her face. "Why?"
Because," he paused a second, "wait, why should I tell you, I don't even know you, unless you know her of course."
"Of course I know her."
"Then you know where I can find her!" he exclaimed.
"Yeah, but I want to know why you want to find her first."
"Oh ok, I'm here to invite her to a school for mutants, like me."
"I'll have to think about it"
"You will have to think about it!?"
"Yeah"
"You!?"
"Yes, why?"
"Its for Karine not you."
"Well thats a definite paradox, I'm Karine." and with that she stood up and walked out from under the trees, heading for the bottom of the mountain and the town.

Warren's Point of View, Sort of:
Warren just sat there watching her back as she walked down the mountain before jumping up to follow. "Where are you going?"
She stopped, "To work," was her mysterious reply.
"Work?"
"Yes work, as in to perform a service in exchange for money."
"Yes I know that but who would hire a mutant unless the person doesn't know your a mutant?"
"I am pretty sure they know I;m a mutant, kinda hard to figure when I disappear for three to four months out of every year and show up at the beginning of spring. And as for who would hire a mutant, well the library would." After that astonishing speech she once more headed down the mountainside. Warren trotted at her heels. Stopping again she told him, "Stop following me."
"Well I can't do that until I get your answer."
Looking up at him she said, "The townspeople are pretty nice to me but, then I look human most of the time. My only physical mutation, at the moment, is my tye-dye hair," she grabbed at her rainbow locks which he hadn't noticed before she pointed them out.
I must be getting used to being in a mutant school. He thought.
"The people might not be so tolerant of you mutation." she said, pointing at his obvious white wings behind him.
"Oh yeah, I sort of forgot about those."
"You forgot?"
"Well not really forgot," he shrugged, "I'm just used to people in the school not making a huge deal out of them, there are stranger things than a guy with wings, we have Kurt who is blue, but then again so is Dr. McKoy (spl.?). You are probably right about the people not being as tolerant."
"Big fat duh."
"Well you just answer the question?"
"Well if you stick around 'till tonight then I'll answer, I still need to think it over," and with that she look and at her watch, and started running down the mountain calling back to him, "I'm going to be late."
He decided to wait in the open meadow until she came back and headed up there. He suddenly realized that he hadn't asked her mutation, maybe its just the hair, but i doubt it because Xavier had said she could be dangerous if she wanted to but, multi-colored hair couldn't be that dangerous could it?
