Mayhemb; Glad to be back, and hope ya'll enjoy...! I do not own X-Men Evolution, I only own my characters and my ideas.


~Rave~

Rave smiled as she looked down at the skillet in her hands, mixing the scrambled eggs a bit before taking the pan off the oven.

"Hey sis, what's for breakfast...?" Lance asked with a yawn as he walked in, sporting pajamas and bed head. Lance wore black pajama pants, and a thin white wife-beater for pajamas as of recent. As apposed to Rave, who wore a black silk tank top, dark blue sweatpants, and black silk socks. Her hair was down for right now, and was still a bit tangled.

"Let's see here...Scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, toast, fruit, water..." Rave calmly replied as she looked around the table as Lance sat down, a small smile on his face...Only for him to blink when he saw the choker around his sister's neck.

"You're still wearing that thing...?" Rave blinked at the question, before looking down at her neck.

"Yeah...Just for the morning though, I'll be leaving to talk with the Professor once I'm done eating...I...I wanna see if we can adjust this thing and-"

"Is that breakfast...?" Fred asked as he and Todd got into the room, both still in pajamas also. Fred was decked out in his red heart boxers and blue bathrobe, while Todd was wearing a baggy white t-shirt and grey pajama shorts.

"No honey, it's a fly-and-fungi's buffet if ya keep it out long enough." Rave declared as she placed a few cups of water down on the table, before she felt 2 thin arms wrap around her waist as the wind battered against her back.

"Hey Honey, what's for breakfast...?" Pietro asked from behind the musician, whose eye twitched a bit.

"For you, a knuckle sandwich if ya don't-"

"Easy, easy, I'm just joking." Pietro quickly cut off the girl before sitting down at the table with the others, and began to dig in. Rave blinked at this, a tad bit confused, before she shrugged and started out the room. Only for Lance to grab her wrist once she passed him.

"Hold on there sis, you need ta eat." Lance stated, not looking up from his toast as he did so.

"What's that supposed ta mea-" Rave stopped talking when she saw her brother's gaze fall upon her, a small lump forming in her throat at this.

"That choker stops your powers completely, right...? Then you can't listen to music to eat, so you need to eat, or else I'll be hearing it from Sketch for who-knows how long..!" Lance declared before he got up and dragged a chair from the corner of the messy room, to a space between him and Pietro. Once it was, practically slammed, in place the Earth-Shaker looked to his sister as he pointed to the seat.

"*sigh* Yes mom." Rave groaned as she sat down into the seat, earning her a nod from her brother, before she looked down as Pietro gave her a plate with 2 pancakes on it.

Rave stared at the plate a bit, before carefully picking up a knife and fork and-

"Uh...Rave..? I don't know how ta tell ya this man but...You're holding da fork and knife wrong, man." Todd stated as he looked at Rave, who blushed a bit as she looked down at her hands. Her hands were gripping the very hilt of the plastic utensils, much like a child would...

"Oh...Uh..Thanks." Rave muttered out as she tried to adjust, only to glare at her hands even more when she felt the utensils grow uncomfortable in her grasp. Rave then tried to cut the pancake an-

"Sis, uh...You can put more pressure on the knife." Lance whispered to the musician, whose eyes twitched before she did so. Once she got a piece of the pancake cut, she tried to pick it up with the-

"Rave, you use the fork to pick the food up." Pietro stated with a small chuckle, before the musician finally threw her hands up and dropped the plastic ware.

"Screw this..!" Rave finally yelled out, before shoving her food towards Fred. The Blob blinked at this, before smiling a bit at the thought of more food. Without another word Rave grabbed a new plate and got 2 pieces of toast, a few eggs, and about 4 strips of bacon. Quickly then the girl started to assemble a sandwich, before taking a bit...Only to glare at the other boys' shocked look.

"What..? You're just jealous that I got a sandwich, SANDWICHES FOR THE WIN!" Rave declared with a slightly food-filled mouth, only to sip some water to clear her throat.

"Man...Do you not know how ta use-"

"I used to know dude..! Trust me...It's just...Haven't had to use a knife and fork combo since my powers kicked in." Rave quickly cut off the amphibian boy, who blinked at her before shrugging a bit...Only to grin.

"Ya mind making me a breakfast sandwich..?" Todd asked, earning him a grin from the musician.

"As I said...SANDWICHES FOR THE WIN!" Rave once again declared, earning her a round of laughter from her companions.


Sketch sighed a bit as she dunked her legs into the Institute's pool, enjoying herself before she slipped into the waters. Sure it was fall, but it was still rather warm...And since there would be a rainstorm tomorrow, the artist wanted to spend as much time out in the sun as she could...Plus, showing off her newly-made swim suit wasn't so bad.

Her swim suit was a nice light blue bikini with a slightly frilly top, and a white detachable skirt. Something cute, yet still functional in the water.

"You havin' fun Sketch...?" Evan asked as he came towards the girl, an odd object in his hand.

"Yeah and..Wait...What's that your holding...?" Evan sighed a bit at the question, before scratching his head a bit.

"Uh...It's Rave's pet rock.."

"Awwww you're taking care of Paco..!" Sketch chimed at this, grinning a bit. Rave didn't trust all to many people with Paco.

"Who...?"

"Paco, Paco the Obsidian..!" Evan blinked at the exclamation, before nodding his head a bit as he looked down at the rock in his hands. Almost the size of a small baseball, the black obsidian was adorned with 2 googly-eyes, and nicely knitted dark purple headphones...Along with a Jamaican hat, and deadlocks.

"Uh...Yeah...I guess I am." Evan concluded, Sketch nodded her head before she started to float on her back.

"Don't break, drop, or lose him. Okay...? Rave'll find out, and Paco's pretty important to her." Evan gave her a dead-panned expression now. Seriously...?

"It's...A rock."

"It's Rave's pet rock. Big difference there." Evan opened his mouth, only to yell when he was suddenly pushed into the pool by-

"Hey Kitty." Sketch calmly said as she looked to the swim-suit dressed valley-girl, who gave her a grin. Kitty was wearing her one-piece purple swim suit, and had a pair of sunglasses on.

"Like, hey Sketch..!" Kitty chimed before she entered the pool, seconds before Evan resurfaced.

"Dude, not cool and-...Oh snap...I think I lost Paco!" Evan yelled out, Sketch's eyes dilated now. The last time Paco was lost...Well, let's just say they were glad that Sketch could bring to life a mile-long forest...But Lance could never look at Paco, especially when he was with Rave, the same way again...

"Crud..." Sketch stated, before she dove down into the pool.

10 Minutes Later

Sketch smiled as she, Evan, and Kitty finally found Paco...Only to groan when she realized they would have to carefully dry his deadlocks, hat, and headphones.

"Can't you, like, just make him those..?" Kitty asked...Resulting in Sketch face-palming and getting out of the pool to get her sketchpad and colored pencils.


?-?

Mystique grinned as she slipped into the hospital, having shifted her form into a male doctor in his 60's. His name was Dr. Maurice Sampson, a doctor who was monitoring the activity of a certain patient. Maurice was a man with old black skin, graying black hair, and kind brown eyes...Yet not with Mystique behind the mask though. Once she was inside a certain patients room, Miranda...

Mystique walked into the room and slowly injected the IV with a needle, before putting in a mystery serum. The serum had been invented by Magneto, just for this purpose. After all, they needed her awake to properly use her as a distraction...And to get a certain teenage girl away from the Institute long enough, to make some...Changes...

Once the odd liquid had disappeared into the clear liquid, Mystique smiled when she noticed the monitor...Only to flip open her cellphone, she knew someone who would appreciate this information.


Sketch practically jumped 2 feet when her phone suddenly started to ring, before she flipped it open.

"Hello...?"

"Hello, Mrs. Sylvia Roberts...?"

"Yes, this is me."

"I am Dr. Maurice Sampson, we have met before."

"Oh yes..! Yes I remember."

"I have good news." Sketch's eyes widened a bit at this, before she lightly bit her lip in anticipation.

"O-Oh...?"

"Yes, it seems like your mother has been presenting almost 9% more brain activity, and rising."

"R-Really.!.?"

"Yes, in fact, she should be waking up from either a week from today..To about some time after...Oh, I'd say Valentine's day. In fact, I actually advise you to come here."

"Wh...What..."

"I know this is a bit sudden, but I know how much you have been awaiting for your mother to wake up..."

...

"Miss Roberts, are you still there...?"

"Y-Yes...I'm still here Dr. Sampson...I..I'll have to talk to my Professor but...I'll see if I can get there next week."

"That would be perfect, I have already contacted your father, brother, and sister about this. They will be arriving in the next few days as well."

"Thank you...Really."

"It is my pleasure Miss Roberts, have a nice day."

"Thank you, you also Dr. Sampson."

Sketch slowly brought the phone away from her ear...Only to feel tears fall down her face. Her mother...After all this time..Sketch grinned happily before she got up, forgetting her art supplies, and ran off to find the Professor and Rave.


"Now...Before we conclude this meeting...Are you sure there is nothing I can do to change your mind...?" the Professor asked as Rave gave him the choker, shaking her head a bit.

"I'm sorry Professor...But this is the only way I can see this working out..." Rave concluded, smiling a bit as she tried to ease up the pressure in the room.

Rave wanted to be given an audio soundtrack to learn instead of doing it hands-on-training...It would help her hone in on her abilities, yet it may not give her the correct visionaries she may need. Yet along with this, the Professor had managed to convince Rave to let him give the choker to Forge, to see if he can adjust it.

"Very well then, I will get to the soundtrack as soon as I ca-"

BAM

"Professor, Rave..! I...I have great news..!" Sketch exclaimed as she cut off the Professor, interrupting their moment of seriousness inside his library-office.


(time skip)

-Night-

Rave sighed as she walked along-side Sketch, both in their regular clothing.

"So...You're really leaving in 5 days...Huh..?" Rave whispered to the artist, who gave her a small smile.

"Well, what other choice do I have...? You know how long I've waited for...For something like this..!" Rave gave her a look, before smiling a bit.

"Alright just...I hope you know, things won't be the same without ya...I-I mean...With all the new students here, it'll be real crowded and...I just don't know if I'll find anyone like ya..." Sketch smiled at this a bit, before hugging Rave's arm.

"I know you won't, but...But that'll make it all the more special when I come back..!" Sketch chimed happily, earning her a laugh from her friend.

"Alright then...How about this. Once I pick up Paco from Evan, we can go back to the Boarding House to dispose of your room...Maybe give me a nice personal bathroom if you'd be so kind, cause have you seen the boys' bathroom...? *both girls shutter*...Then we'll spend the night there, and...Oh dear lord, I know I'm going to regret saying this...Then, we can go on a...*mutters* Girls day out..." Once Rave was done speaking, she suddenly heard a small squeal before she was tackled by Sketch.

"WHAT IS WITH PEOPLE TACKLING ME?.!" Rave yelled out with a laugh, which Sketch happily joined in on.


Extra Scene

"You...Killed Paco.." Rave stated as she looked at the destroyed pet rock in Evan's hands, the skater-boy nervously glanced around.

"Y-Yeaaah well...I uh-" was all Evan managed to get out before the rock was taken out of his hands, and he was suddenly shoved through the Danger Room's doors...Before the entire room got activated as the doors sealed closed.
