I just want to apologize for how long this has taken. Seriously. I've been so busy and I've had writers block and I've been super distracted. I'm sorry. Honestly. So I'm going to try to make this one long to make up for it. Please forgive me and review. Thanks everyone!!


Pyro and Sandy walked down the road. They had never really noticed there was exactly a side walk. But they didn't let it bother them. They just continued to walk. Suddenly a pick up truck fell past them. Two guys were in it, they both were clearly drunk. Sandy shook her head but didn't say anything.

"Are you okay?" Pyro asked looking at her.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just people being stupid is...whatever its just annoying I guess." She shrugged lightly not wanted to let it bother it. "I'm really sorry about the fire in your room." She said suddenly.

Pyro smirked remembering what actually started the fire. "Don't worry about it." He looked at her. "To be honest it wasn't the first time it happened to me." he said.

"Really?" Sandy asked and Pyro nodded. "Well its never happened to me before...at least not like that."

"It doesn't matter anymore." He said.

The store came into view and they became quiet again. They continued to walk both of them watching their feet move below them. As they got closer Sandy saw the pick up truck in the drive way. She rolled her eyes to herself but continued to walk. She had the feeling that something bad might happen.

They entered the store. The wooden door creaked causing the cashier to look at them. Sandy smiled politely but only received a dirty look. They walked to the back together and began to look through shelves. Sandy spotted them. "Here they are." She said pointing them out.

Pyro looked at them. All the sheets were white. "Well I just don't know what color is best." He said sarcastically as he reached for one. "So many options." He said smirked.

"If you have a problem with my products then you can leave." The cashier said who was suddenly standing and starring at both of them. The two guys who were in the pick up truck standing behind him. One of them had a red hat on and the other had long greasy hair.

"We don't have a problem. It was a joke." Pyro said unsure as he moved back a step.

"I know who you are." The guy said looking between both of them. "Both of you aren't welcome here." He said.

"We just want to buy these and then we'll be gone." Sandy said moving closer to Pyro.

"You're that kid who was working with that magnet guy." The red hat guy said.

"No I wasn't." Pyro said quickly. "You're making a mistake." He felt his hand heating up and the plastic wrapped around the sheets melting.

"Well I know for a fact both of you are from that mutant school." The cashier said moving closer, the two guys followed behind him. "Are none of those kids are welcome here. None of you's." He said crossing his arms.

"Okay, we'll just leave now." Sandy said. "Put the sheets back." She said grabbing Pyro's arm. "Let's go."

Pyro felt angry. He didn't like people treating him different just because of a power he had. He didn't ask for it. It was something he was just given. He He wasn't going to take problems from anyone. "No I don't want to leave. We're customers just like everyone else." He said his feet firmly on the ground.

"No you aint." The greasy haired guy said. He suddenly had a bat at his side. "You both better get." He said.

"No." Pyro said. He felt his hands burning and the sheets began to heat up.

"Relax." Sand said noticing how red his arms had become. "Don't do this now."

"What's your problem?" The hat guy asked suddenly looking frightened. "Just leave before you start trouble." He ordered trying to look scary.

"Pyro let's just go, please." Sandy said pulling at his arm.

"Pyro is your name boy?" Cashier said. "Why? You like fire?" He mocked. "How creative and original. No blades from yours hands? or laser out your eyes?"

Sandy felt herself get offended. "No the laser eye guy got him killed. Just like all of these freaks should be." The greasy haired guy said.

Sandy felt angry. She felt her head getting hot and her eyes began to hurt. She wanted it to stop but it wouldn't. She felt her mouth saying words she normally wouldn't. It was a new feeling. "Take that back." She yelled her eyes turned a red color that she didn't know they could.

The three guys remained silent starring at her unsure of what to do. "Don't you dare talk about my brother like that, take it back." She said taking a step closer.

Pyro looked at Sandy and saw her eyes. He knew she was angry and he knew what she was about to do. He wanted to stop her but the burning in his hands was too great. He was just as angry as her. He suddenly felt his hands fully flamed. He looked down and saw the orange and red taking over his arms.

"You better not try that crazy stuff here." The cashier ordered taking a step back.

"What are you going to do about it?" Pyro asked dropping the burning sheets on the floor. He took a step closer holding his arms up.

"Are you going to take it back?" Sandy asked moving closer to them. The three guys backed as far as they could hitting a wall. Sandy felt her eyes burn quickly as a red light shot out at the floor beneath them.

"You are both freaks!" The cashier yelled and began to scream frantically.

"We should go." Pyro said turning to her. Sandy looked at him. She looked at the scared faces of the three guys.

"I better not hear any of you say anything about my brother again." She said. They nodded silently. She turned back to Pyro. Her eyes began to cool down.

Pyro grabbed her hand and his flames died out. He used his free hand to grab sheets off the shelf. "I'm not paying for these." He called out as they walked out.

Sandy felt her head cool down as they walked out. She felt safer with Pyro holding her hand. She turned to him. "What if Logan finds out about that?" She asked.

"Don't worry, he won't." Pyro said knowing Logan already knew. Logan knew everything. He could sense everything. They were going to be in more trouble then they needed.
