Summary: Storm's subconscious is trying to tell her something. I wonder what it is.
If you give a Mouse a Cookie…
((Ororo's POV))
She was dreaming that she was flying. It wasn't the first time that she had flying dreams. She learned to enjoy as if she was really flying. She could feel the wind running through her hair and the fresh air in her lungs. The clouds rush passed her. She had no place in mind and allowed her powers to guide her. Slowly, the clouds began to part away to reveal two blurry images playing checkers on a cloud. She found herself landing on the cloud. The cloud was solid as land. To my surprise, it was Fairuza and the Shadow King playing checkers. Maybe, the food at the diner was upsetting my stomach.
"You lose." Fairuza said with a smile.
"You cheated, rodent" The Shadow King angrily said he bang his fist against the table.
"I didn't and you know it. Now, you own me a cookie and I want my cookie." Fairuza said.
"I don't have any cookies, you stupid rodent." The Shadow King said.
"Yes, you do. You are just a sore loser. Now give me my cookie." Fairuza said as she taps her paw on the board.
The Shadow King snarled as he dug out a cookie from his pants and tossed it onto the board.
"Cookie! Hmm…chocolate chip is my favorite." Fairuza said as she took it from the board and took a bit out of the cookie. Her eyes looked from Shadow King to me. The little one broke into a big smile.
"Stormy…Stormy…you came!" Fairuza said as she jumped from the board. She ran and hugged her foot. Sje couldn't help but smiled at the little one. She leaned over and picked the small mouse. She patted her gently on the head.
"Of course, I came. We are worry about you, Fairuza. Don't call me, Stormy. I dislike that nickname." She said softly.
"Don't worry. You will find me soon. Come on, play checkers with me." Fairuza said.
"She doesn't have any cookies. She must have cookies to play. Beside, I want a rematch." The Shadow King said angrily.
"She can borrow some of my cookies. Beside, you will get your rematch after I play Stormy. Now, go and seat over there." Fairuza said.
The Shadow King grumbled as he moved over to a bench by the board. This dream was tiny bit strange. The idea of Fairuza talking wasn't that strange. She is very talkative creature. She can tell you what she thought and why she thought it in so many actions. But the idea of her and the Shadow King playing checkers strike me as amusing and strange. I almost laugh at the fact that Shadow King lose in a game of checkers to a mouse.
She set down Fairuza on the board and she crawl to her side. She picked up her cookie and starts to eat again.
"Here are the rules. If you win, you get a cookie. If I win, you have to listen to what I have to say." Fairuza said.
"You are changing the rules, rodent. You cannot do that." The Shadow King said.
"It is perfectly fair. Something for something. You are just mad because you lost, you big bubble head. Do you agree to the rules?" Fairuza said happily. What could a mouse want to tell me?
"Agreed." She said.
The game of checkers began. After awhile, it became noticeable that Fairuza was going to win. She clapped her paws when she took her last piece.
"I won! I won! I am the champion of Cloud 9! Whoa!" Fairuza said as she danced around the board. She jumps down from board and few minutes later, she returned with a cookie. She crawled over to her side of the board and drops the cookie.
"You can have a cookie while I talk. Don't worry. I have more cookies because of the bubble head." Fairuza said as she looks at the Shadow King.
"You and Logan are the most stubborn I have ever meet. You like each other and don't give that friend excuse either. You two are more than just friends. Don't use that Jean excuse either? Jean isn't interested in him. They like to flirt and Logan likes to get a raise out of Cyclops. For every excuse you have, I will have something to break it down, Stormy!" Fairuza said as she taps her paw on the board.
"This is my love life you are talking about, Fairuza. You have no right to get involved." She said.
"I do! I worry about you. You are so lonely. You can say you are not either but I know. I watch you, Stormy! It isn't fun being alone." Fairuza said sadly. Her ears drool down and her blue eyes look so sad. It almost broke her heart.
"Fairuza…I…I cannot promise anything. It is a complex situation." She said.
"Humans make it complex. At least promise me that you talk to him soon. Please?" The little mouse frowned as she eats her cookie faster.
"Okay." She said softly as she smiled a little at me. She didn't know why the little one trying so hard to get us together. I am not that lonely, am I? I have plenty of friends and work keeps me busy. Something is nagging in the back of her head and continued to grow.
"Good…Now, you can wake up." Fairuza said as the dream faded away.
