Okay. So. Sorry about the big Drama Bomb last chappie but you will understand why Cassie 'overreacted' or what ever. No one new just major drama and minor laughs.

Cassie pulled in and unloaded her jeep. She walked over to Sarah's house and knocked on the door. Sarah opened the door and said happily "Cassie!" she leaned back and shouted "MOM! MY FRIEND IS HERE!" She looked at Cassie and smiled "Come in!"

Cassie nodded and said, "Thanks Sarah."

Sarah waved it away and huffed "No problem! My brother just left for college so we have a spare room!"

Cassie laughed and dragged in her six bags. She let out a grunt "Ugh!"

Sarah giggled and grabbed two saying "Let me help." Sarah showed Cassie her room and grinned as she spoke "Here ya go! Sleep tight." Cassie smiled and Sarah left.

For the next month Cassie was a loner. She didn't talk to Kitty, Betsy, Laura, or Alex. Especially not Alex. Cassie ignored all of the X-Men. She sat anywhere in history as long as it wasn't beside Betsy, Alex, or Pyro. She didn't talk to anyone but Sarah. At lunch she sat alone and read. She ignored the looks from the X-Men table and from Pyro.

Alex tried apologizing, and she ignored him. Betsy and Kitty tried talking to her during history, and she would bury her nose deeper into her book. At lunch Jean sat with her once, but she glared at her until she left. Remy tried talking to her, but when she didn't respond, Rogue started up, and Remy ended up dragging her away. But she did get annoyed when Alex wouldn't leave her alone and she pushed him in a pond. Then took a picture.

Jordan sat on the floor in his room, meditating. Jamie came in and his eyes shot open as he reached for his swords. Seeing it was Jamie, he relaxed. Jamie smiled, "Wanna see something?"

Jordan shrugged and followed him to the edge of the balcony. He looked at the trees, and something caught his eye. He nudged Jamie and said curiously, "Hey. Look." He nodded his head to a figure sprinting across the yard. Jamie's eyes widened and Jordan looked at him grining as he spoke, "Wanna do something fun?" Then, he grabbed Jamie's arm and jumped off the balcony.

They followed Laura until she stopped in front of a museum. They hid in the bushes beside the museum, waiting. Jordan got bored of waiting and pulled out a box of cards hidden away in his belt. Jamie eyed them and asked "Where'd you get those?"

Jordan grinned and said "Stole em from Gambit." Jamie's jaw dropped, and Jordan started shuffling.

Drama class had a field trip, and Cassie went on it. Pyro boarded the bus after her and followed her to her seat where he asked "Can I sit here?"

She took out her book and scoffed "Don't care." Pyro nodded and sat. Cassie started reading, and Pyro stared at her. After a while it started to annoy her so she sighed and put the book down and glared at him "What are you doing?"

Pyro nodded to her shirt and replied "Thinking about following your instructions." She looked at her shirt, which read, 'Take a picture, it'll last longer.' She groaned and looked at him. He said, "Smile!" and her picture was taken. She rolled her eyes, and Pyro lifted a few strands of her hair saying, "I like what ya did to ya hair."

Cassie slapped his hand lightly and turned before he could see her blush. She cut it so that it was all like the right side, except her left side was still curly. She looked back at him, her face portraying no emotion. He looked at her and asked "So why ya been avoiding this Aussie?"

Cassie ignored him and opened her book. Pyro kept talking, joking around, and goofing off. She didn't talk until they got to the river. She looked at him and ground out "Get up." He followed her orders and stood. She pushed pass him and got off the bus.

Jamie pumped his fists and cheered, "Yes!"

Jordan rolled his eyes and rearranged his cards and said, "It's just go-fish Jamie. Not like its poker or something."

Jamie grinned and replied, "One man's go-fish is another boy's happiness."

Jordan laughed and hushed himself as a boy had just appeared beside Laura. He elbowed Jamie and whispered, "Look!" Jamie's eyes followed Jordan's line of sight and he let out a strangled gasp. Standing beside Laura was Peitro. Why wasn't she tearing him to shreds? They walked into the museum and Jamie started to get up. Jordan stopped him and whispered, "Don't. This is the only exit. We'll wait for them here. Got any two's?"

Mr. Ways was explaining how nature had inspired many plays and poems. He went into a tirade about how the dam built upstream has caused the off-balance of the ecosystem. While he was talking, the dam started to crack. Everyone started freaking out and running to the bus. Cassie looked up and saw the X-jet. The jet landed, and Scott, Rogue, and Betsy got out. Rogue started helping people into the bus and Scott was shooting a ditch into the ground for the oncoming water.

Betsy was trying to hold back the water once the dam had burst but failing. Cassie looked back at Pyro and ordered "Get on the bus and make it leave."

Pyro reluctantly ran to the bus. The bus started to drive away, and a huge wave started coming. Cassie held her hands up and the water stopped. She groaned in pain, for she was lifting 2 tons of water without help. Scott looked at Betsy and shouted"How did you…?"

Betsy shook her head and shouted back, "I'm not."

Cassie shouted "Get in the jet!" The small team looked at her in shock. Rogue started to say something, but Cassie interrupted her by screaming, "I SAID GET IN THE JET!" They ran for the jet and boarded. Cassie was pressured to her knees as the weight of the water was getting too heavy. She shook of the feeling and stood. She was going to hold the water back until everyone was safe. When the bus was far enough away and the jet was in the sky, she dropped to her knees again. The water was released and came rushing forward. Cassie groaned softly and blacked out.

Jordan grinned and asked "Got any three's?"

Jamie groaned and tossed his last card at Jordan "You win again!"

Jordan bowed to his invisible audience saying "Thank you thank you." then he stood and spoke "Come on. I think they're coming out." Jamie nodded and looked at the door. Laura came walking out, standing extremely close to Pietro. They started walking and Jamie made like he was going to follow them when Jordan put a hand on his arm and said, "They're going to the park. I know a short cut. Come on." He pulled him away.

Laura laughed at something Pietro said and Jamie groaned. They'd been sitting there for at least an hour and all they had done was talk. Laura sneezed and Jamie felt Jordan stiffen due to the lack of personal space in the bush they were in.

Laura sniffed the air and growled, "Get out of there Jamie! And whoever you've got with you!"

Jordan walked calmly out of the bush and smiled at Laura saying, "Hello! Wonderful day for a walk!"

Laura narrowed her eyes, still growling "What are you doing here Jordan?"

Jamie glared at Pietro and spat, "What are you doing here?"

Pietro blinked, "Um…"

Jordan rolled his eyes and muttered something and Pietro zoomed in front of him and said, "Did-you-say- something?"

Jordan stared back and scoffed, "Yeah, I did. I said either talk now or I'll call Wolverine. Your choice! One… two… three…"

Pietro's eyes widened and he waved his hands around practicaly shouting, "Okay-okay! I'm-dating-Laura!"

Jordan's eyes flickered to Laura and then settled on Peitro almost growling like Laura, "Hurt her… I hurt you." Then, he waved cheerily and strode away with Jamie in tow.

Pyro slammed the door and Lance came out from the kitchen saying "What's up?"

Pyro glared at him and ground out, "A Sheila just saved thirty people, three X-Men, and me."

Lance shrugged and yawned "So?"

Pyro grabbed him by the collar speaking dangerously low, "I left her for dead." Lance gave him a look that said 'go on'. Pyro pushed him into the wall muttering, "Stupid yank." Pyro walked back outside and burned down a tree.

Cassie was soaking wet and shivering. Her clothes were thin and plastered to her body. She was too exhausted to even open her eyes, but her mind was running 150 mph. "Keep breathing. Good. Now move your legs. Ow! Never mind. Just keep breathing. Don't stop breathing…" She had stayed in the fetal position for whoever knows how long when she felt pressure under her chin. Then, she felt herself being lifted and moved then sat down on dry ground. A thin material was laid on her, and she felt a tear run down her cheek. Then, she felt a hand wipe it away and heard the crackle of fire. Cassie welcomed the warmth and sighed slightly. Someone wrapped an arm around her and she curled up closer to them. Whoever they were, they radiated heat and Cassie felt herself slowly warming. Then, she felt the person lifting and heard a small explosion. She vaguely heard talking, and then, she was lifted again. This person was definitely male, based on his muscular arms. She curled up slightly, and the arms tightened around her protectively. Then, the thin fabric was draped over her again before she passed out.

Cassie groaned and woke up in a hospital bed. In a chair beside her sat Kitty. Cassie spoke, "Great. I'm back here."

Kitty blinked and spoke happily, "Cassie! You're awake!"

Cassie groaned, "Great. Here comes the Calvary." Berzerker, Piotr, and Betsy barged into the room. They all started talking, and Cassie rolled her eyes. When they started asking her questions she shouted, "ENOUGH!" She stood and put her hands on the hips of her wet jeans saying "You didn't care before so why do you care now? I'm going home."

Berzerker tried to block her path and said, "What?"

Cassie rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue "Look. Last time I was here, no one cared if I was hurt. Don't go changing it on my account." No one said a word. Everyone stared at her as she headed for the door.

She stopped when she saw a jacket sitting in a chair in the corner and asked, "Who's is that?"

Kitty looked at the jacket and replied, "I don't know. Cyclops said that you would know. He said someone gave it to you."

Cassie scoffed and picked it up. She muttered under her breath, "Stupid Aussie."

Kitty looked at her and said questioningly, "What did you say?"

Cassie shook her head and sighed, "Nothing."

She pulled on the jacket and ignored the looks she got from the X-Men when she did. It was soft, made of a brown leather, and way too big for her, but she felt good wearing it. She moved her hands and pulled all of the water from her clothes. She evaporated it and walked out. She groaned and continued walking, because her jeep was at Sarah's.

Kitty ran out shouting, "Hey Cassie!" Cassie turned around and Kitty ran up behind her panting, "You don't have to leave. You could come back."

Cassie shook her head and sighed again, "No. I need some time to think."

Kitty pouted, "Okay, see ya." Cassie continued walking.

She came upon the brotherhood boarding school and ducked behind a tree front of it. Pyro came out of the front door with a trash-bag. She walked slowly in front of the house and resisted the urge to smile when Pyro saw her. He called out, "Oi!" as he dumped the trash into the can. She continued walking and her ran up to her saying, "You alright?"

Cassie shrugged nonchalantly and yawned, "Sure."

He looked at her and nodded to the jacket asking, "Why you wearing that old thing?"

Cassie stuffed her hands in the pockets of the jacket and laughed slightly, "Why not?"

Pyro shrugged and spoke softly, "I ought ta thank ya for saving my hide."

Cassie stopped walking when they got to the forest and replied, "You're welcome." Cassie nodded and ran into the forest.

Rahne blinked away tears and sobbed, "Why?"

Ray's shoulders slummed and he sighed, "I just… look I'm sorry Rahne. But I'm not feeling it anymore."

Rahne spoke sadly, "I understand. See ya Ray." She pecked him on the cheek and walked away. Ray rubbed his neck. He felt bad about breaking up with her. He sat in the living room, waiting for her to get back.

Cassie looked behind her. Pyro was following her asking, "Where ya goin, Sheila?"

Cassie grinned, "You'll see." She kept running until they came upon a small clearing near a river. Cassie kneeled by the river and put her hand in it.

She released a pleasant sigh, and Pyro stood beside her, "So… you brought me out here for this?" Cassie shook her head and stood.

She kicked him in the shin, "That's for not leaving me alone for a month."

Pyro yelped in pain, "Ow! You're abusive to this Aussie." Cassie waited for him to stop hopping and laughed. He stopped and looked at her, "What?" She pulled her lips together. He crossed his arms and tapped his foot, "What's going through your head Sheila?"

Cassie sat down again, "Nothing."

Pyro sat down beside her, "Oh no ya don't! I was just attacked by you! You better tell me what you were going to do."

He started tickling her, and she laughed, "Stop! Stop!" She got up and started running, "You can't catch me!"

He stood up and chuckled, "Oh yeah?" He tackled her, and they started tumbling down a hill laughing. The stopped at the bottom, a few feet apart.

Cassie sat up. Pyro sat up, laughing.

Cassie hugged her knees and sighed, "Sorry."

Pyro cocked his head and asked, "For what?"

Cassie sighed, "I've treated you awfully for a month and you're the only one who doesn't deserve it. I'm so sorry."

Pyro was weighed down with guilt as he spoke, "Cass…?" Cassie looked at him. He swallowed, "I need ta tell ya something."

She looked at him with big innocent eyes and said innocently, "Yeah?"

Pyro looked at the ground saying, "I'm with the brotherhood."

Cassie nodded and said, "And?"

Pyro sighed and said, "The reason I started being your friend was because… they want me ta persuade ya ta join."

Cassie released her legs and stood speaking softly, "So… you… you never…"

Pyro held up his hands and spoke, "Cassie. Just listen..."

Cassie glared at him and shouted, "You're worse than the X-Men! You… you tricked me! I believe that you're actually my friend when it's all just a trick!"

Cassie started crying and Pyro stood and swallowed, "Cassie…"

She screamed at him, "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She spread her hands and the fast river came directly towards Pyro. Pyro gasped and held his breath. Cassie dropped her hands and sat. She buried her face in her knees and sobbed.

Pyro coughed out water, "Sheila…"

Cassie didn't look up while she said, "Why can't you just leave me alone? Please." She didn't sound angry, just heartbroken. Pyro walked away.

Berzerker saw Kitty walk in and asked, "So is Casanova coming back?"

Kitty shook her head and sighed, "No. She said she needed time." She looked around, "Where's Rahne?"

Berzerker shrugged and yawned, "Don't know."

Kitty looked at him and said, "Why not? She is your girlfriend."

Berzerker stood and shook his head laughing slightly, "Not anymore."

Kitty gasped slightly, "You mean… you like… wow."

Berzerker blinked in amazement, "You can tell why I broke up with her?"

Kitty mused, "Maybe…"

Berzerker shook his head and said, "Whatever. I'll just talk to her at school."

So? Whadda think? If you think I should delete the last few chappies and rewrite it all just say so. Not saying I'll listen but...
