(Quick Author note....Andrew also belongs to Omega)
Stopping at her room, she hoped Kelly hadn't left for the academy yet. She
went over and opened the suitcase pulling out a light jacket to slide on
over her tee shirt. She walked across the hall and tentatively knocked on
Kelly's door. Standing up straight she smiled and waited to see if he was
there.
Kelly looked up, he hadn't missed a training session, "Who's there?"
"It's me, Amber."
Kelly smiled broadly as he finished putting on his jacket; he managed to
hide the smile when he finally opened the door. "Hey, I was just leaving."
"Yeah I know. I was wondering if maybe I could come with you. I mean I can
easily fly or run behind. Besides I do remember last night I said I would
show you some of my forms." Smiling lightly she stepped back and held out
her hands, "So can I follow you there?"
"Yeah come on or else I'm going to be late." He smiled lightly and led the
way down to the garage to where his bike was.

Jubilee threw some grass at Angelo and ducked when he threw a mixture of
wet grass and leaves at her. Unfortunately, for Jono when she ducked that
left him open and the grass not being fussy hit him in the face. "Hey now."
The sound of the bike engine made them turn to face the spot where the path
came out of the woods. Angelo just laughed, "Hey Man your 20 minuets," the
smile fell from his face when a large golden lion came into view right
before the bike appeared. "Late." With his eyes still on the large cat he
moved backwards, Jubilee's laughing brought him out of the trance.
"Hey Amber. I think you caught Ang off guard." Jubilee calmly went over and
rubbed the lioness head. Looking back over at Ang she shook her head and
then turned to look at Kelly while he got off the bike.
"Hey Guys, hope you don't mind but she wanted to come along so I let her
tag along behind. But for some strange reason she decide to move to taking
the lead." Kelly just looked down to the lioness who was changing back to
human.
"I heard voices and wanted to freak someone if I could, didn't think I
would." Smiling over to Angelo Amber held out her hand, "Amber and you
are?"
"Angelo and this is Jono." He lightly took her hand in his and then
gestured over to the quiet Brit.
"Hi."
"Hello, quite an interesting trick you pulled." Jono crinkled his eyes a
bit for a smile and then moved the book of his lap to shake her hand.
Smelling the air lightly, Amber looked between Jono and Kelly before
shaking her head and smiling at the group. "The professor gave me your
message Jubilee, one of the reasons why I wanted to tag along with Kelly."
Jubilee just nodded and then quickly grabbed Amber's arm and started to
drag her into the academy doors. "Come on you have got to meet the others."
Kelly started to laugh at the look on Amber's face as she was pulled
inside. Angelo just chuckled and Jono clasped Kelly on the shoulder, "She's
cute."
"You got that right. What do you think Ang?"
Angel just looked over at the door that Jubilee and Amber had disappeared
in to. Looking back at Kelly, he shrugged lightly, "Si. She's cute."
"So what are you guys going over?" Kelly turned and finally took off the
helmet off. Running a hand through his brown hair, he sat down in the
grass. Looking over he smiled when Penny came a bit closer. "Hey Penny, did
you see her?"
Penny regarded him quietly and it reminded him of when Amber was sitting on
the edge of her bed the other night and just talked with him. He could
remember telling her about Andrew and what had happened. Closing his eyes
he took a deep breath and then tried to look at the others. "Sorry, I was
just remembering my little trip with Gambit and Beast."
Squeezing Kelly's should lightly, Jono crinkled his eyes a bit, "It'll get
better." Sighing the best he could Jono turned and went back to where he
was sitting. "Well I'm finishing up some math and I had seen Jubilee
looking over her science."
"I've got an essay to do for Frosty." Angelo grumbled a little bit and once
again pulled out his notebook. "You like the chica?"
Kelly was taken back a bit but then smiled, "Yeah could you tell?"
"Amigo, I think Penny could tell."
"Kelly looked over to Penny who was sitting besides his bike, "Sorry Penny,
fruit isn't ripe yet. I promise I'll find you something the next time I
come." Penny nodded and then ambled back off towards the bio dome.

As Jubilee pulled Amber into the main hall she was talking rapidly, "I just
knew that you were going to come. Have you gone to the Danger Room yet? If
you haven't, try to find out with Chuck when you will go there. I want to
watch if that's cool with you. Oh hey Paige."
Paige had just walked out of the den when Jubilee had seen her. "Hello
Jubilee and who is this?" Paige looked at the woman standing beside Jubilee
and cocked an eyebrow.
"Yeah, this is Amber and she might be joining the X-Men. Amber this is
Paige , and standing behind her is Monet."
Paige moved to the side a bit and Amber was able to see both girls. She
liked Paige but there was something about Monet that she didn't trust.
Faking a smile Amber nodded to the two. "Nice to meet you both." She held
out her hand to Paige who it and then she moved to Monet who just stared at
her like she was contagious.
"I assume then you have a mutant power other then the flashy hair and
eyes."
Amber frowned now she knew that she wasn't going to have an easy time with
getting along with Monet. "I'm a shape-shifter with slight telepathic
properties as well as accelerated healing and heightened senses.
Monet seemed slightly impressed in this but just stuck her nose up in the
air and turned to walk away. Jubilee laid a hand on Amber's arm who looked
like she was ready to rip Monet apart. "Thinks high of herself doesn't
she?"
Paige nodded, "M isn't one of the best people to get to know."
"Yeah, come on I know Sean wanted to meet you. Any you're lucky, Frosty is
out of town and won't be back for a week." Jubilee began pulling Amber off
towards the kitchen where Irish grumbling could be heard.
Stopping at her room, she hoped Kelly hadn't left for the academy yet. She
went over and opened the suitcase pulling out a light jacket to slide on
over her tee shirt. She walked across the hall and tentatively knocked on
Kelly's door. Standing up straight she smiled and waited to see if he was
