12:45 pm
Calye watched Rogue and Sarah Ann play a game of tag, while they busily talked about anything and everything.
"Come on, Calye! It's fun!" Sarah called, as she dodged Rogue yet again.
"No thank you! I've had enough running for a lifetime!" Calye yelled back. She returned her gaze back to the book she was holding. Jean had given it to her, so she had something to read. It was a couple of dossiers on people around Calye's own age. Rogue and Sarah's were among them – and the girls had a lot of fun teasing Rogue about her real name (or so it was on the paper), which was Marie.
Calye looked up just as a basketball came flying towards the two friends. "Sarah Ann!" She yelled, hoping the ball would hit her, but her yell made Sarah Ann move and the ball flew right past her.
"Thanks, Callie!" Sarah yelled back, unaware of what she'd just called Calye.
Calye looked at her, "That's not my name!"
Sarah Ann was taken about for a moment and then giggled at her mistake, "Sorry, Calye!"
"Just don't forget that my name is Calye! You of all people should know that!" Calye smiled, and then returned to her book. Calye had known Sarah Ann since they were in Pre-K. Calye was three and Sarah Ann was two. They both had felt a connection, and it just so happened that they were in the same class. The two became inseperable. Until Sarah Ann was fourteen, and sent to the school they were both now in. 'Probably one of the reasons Daddy sent me here.' She thought to her self.
Sarah's laughter brought her back to reality, and she looked up, "Come on, silly!" Sarah grabbed a handful of Calye's jacket, and started to pull her up from her seat. Calye laughed at her best friend and put down the book for later. She pulled off her jacket, pushed up the long sleeves to a point (so no one would see the metal), and ran away from Rogue as she was now it.
No one saw the book of dossiers be picked up by someone who wasn't a student.

1:21 pm
Sarah Ann plopped down onto Calye's bed, as the teen frantically searched through her backpack for the third time. After they'd finished playing Tag, they decided to go find something to drink and Calye had gone to get her things from where she'd been sitting. She soon discovered the book was gone, and began to search through everything.
"Calye, the book is gone. Face it. I bet one of the little kids has it. It'll turn up." Sarah Ann said, sitting down at Calye's laptop (brought from home) and turning on a game.
Calye fell on to her bed, "Yeah, but I promised I wouldn't lose it."
"Chill, will you? It's not like home, babe. They wouldn't lay a hand on you even if you touched something that caused something else to go haywire leaving the house without power for a week."
Calye flipped on to her stomach and looked at Sarah Ann, "You didn't…"
"Yup. I got in trouble, yes, but no one hit me or yelled at me. They just called me mischievous, which I've known since we were how old?" Sarah Ann had just successfully distracted Calye.
A knock on the door made Calye and Sarah Ann look up. Calye was pretty sure it was Jean, and threw herself under the bed. Sarah Ann sighed at her friend and got up to answer the door. Calye had been right – Jean was standing in the hallway.
"Hi, Sarah." Jean said, smiling at the teen.
"First off, it's Sarah Ann, and second, what's up?" Sarah Ann asked.
"I was wondering if Calye could give me my book back, so I could put her dossier in it." Jean said, walking over to the bed, and looking under it.
Calye slid further back until her back pressed up against the wall, "I…I…" 'Please don't be like mom…Please don't be like mom…' "I lost it. I'll get it back though! I put it down when we were playing, and I bet one of the younger kids has it!" She rambled.
Jean looked at Sarah Ann with a worried look on her face. Why was Calye suddenly so afraid? "Calye, you can come out." Calye complied, and pulled herself out of under the bed. She dusted herself off and looked at the woman in front of her.
"Sorry."
"Why were you so afraid?" Jean asked.
Calye sighed and carefully studied Jean's face before answering, "My mother wasn't a happy camper if I lost anything, and when I did lose something, it was two days in the detention block. Which, of all things, is a living hell."
Jean realized what Calye was saying and nodded, before walking out of the room.
"Okay. That was weird." Sarah Ann said, "So how was Krista last you saw her?
"Same as usual. Bouncy and happy. I don't think she even realizes I'm gone yet. Dad had her occupied with a laptop."
"She's three – what do you expect?"
"I don't know." Calye stood up and walked into the hall, with Sarah Ann behind her.

3:47 pm
"Did you get it?" The black haired, blue eyed, fortysomething woman asked the teen in front of her.
Chloe Oppenheimer sighed and handed it to the woman, "Here, Mrs. Pryna." She shoved the book of dossiers at Natalie.
Natalie opened the book and read over it quickly. Her face suddenly grew red with anger, "This is the wrong book! This is the dossiers on…" She noticed something. The dossiers contained one of the six she was looking for. Rogue's crystal stare looked up through the plastic sleeve. Natalie looked at Chloe, "You're still in trouble. I told you to get the book on the X-Men, not the mutant teenagers! One day, detention center. Starting now."
Chloe was dragged off to the basement, quietly. Natalie looked up at David, "And you said I was crazy."
David looked at his wife, "Natalie, I don't know you anymore." He turned around and walked away.

4:00 pm
Calye ran after Sarah Ann as the brunette ran around the classroom. Sarah Ann had managed to trick Calye into having another game of tag – something Sarah Ann wasn't known for. Usually, it was one game a day, but now that Sarah Ann's best friend was there, she would gladly play more then one game a day.
"Come on, Clue! I know you can run faster then that!" Sarah Ann laughed.
Calye laughed back, "I know I can, but I don't want you to be it all the time!"
As the two ran around, Sarah Ann made her way out the door and was followed by Calye. The two ran down the corridor and out the door. They flew past Logan, Ororo, and the others, and around the yard. They were into the game so much that they didn't hear Jean calling them, until Sarah Ann tripped on a rock, which sent her sprawling. Calye, not noticing Sarah Ann, tripped over the teen and into a tree.
Sarah Ann was quick to stand up, but Calye just flipped herself over, rubbing her face, and keeping her eyes trained on something.
"What is it?" Sarah Ann asked. She couldn't see what her friend was looking at, but then again – Calye had always been able to see certain things when others couldn't.
"Jenny." She replied, before walking up behind nothing and grabbing Jenny's arm. The other teen became visible with Calye's touch, and didn't try to run. She just looked at her friends, tearfully, and then quieted down when Jean and Scott ran over.
"Who's this?" Scott asked, looking her over.
"Her name's Jenny. My mother probably wanted her to steal something." Calye said, looking at the brunette.
"I'm sorry, Calye. I really am. Natalie told me that if I didn't get this book, she'd kill Jaynie. I can't lose my sister. She's the only one I have left." Jenny choked out.
"Whoa, back up. What about your parents and Josie and Jamie and…"
"They're gone. Joey and Josie are dead, Joce is missing, Jaynie is being held in detention block C, Jamie's too sick to survive any longer, my dad was killed last month, and my mother's joined in with your mother." Jenny hugged her friend, and as she was too tired to stand any longer, collapsed against Calye.

4:30 pm
Calye looked at Jenny as she struggled to eat what was in front of her. Jenny had suffered the most of all the children in her family, because she was the oldest. Jenny had spent a lot of time on in the detention center, because her siblings were always down there (they never did what they were told). She always snuck them food and clothes, or anything else they needed, and as she got older, it took it's toll. A side affect was anorexia – She'd tricked her mind into think that if she ate, she was taking something away from the younger ones.
"Come on, Nejg." Calye said, using Jenny's nickname – which was simply Jen backwards.
Jenny sighed and picked up the spoon, and tried to eat some of the soup in front of her. Sarah Ann and Rogue were sitting across from them, and they were the only other ones in the room. Jean had suggested that they get Jenny to eat something, and they had gone to see if she would.
"You should know something about your mother, Calye." Jenny said.
"Eat first, then tell me."
Jenny shook her head, "This is important. Your mother is looking for a book of dossiers like the one with Rogue's in it. Chloe stole it under orders, so don't be mad."
Calye knew there was more, "And?"
"And she's planning on raising a resistance army and attacking the school."
"Why?"
"She's Natalie – do you need a reason?" Jenny asked, and then ate a bit more.
"I'm sorry about your sisters and the boys."
Jenny nodded, "So am I."
Unknown to the others, Jean, Scott, and the others had been listening.
"Do you think that Natalie could do that?" Logan asked.
"With the way Calye's described her, yes and more." Jean replied.

11:56 pm
Calye took her place beneath the tree. Jenny was sleeping in Sarah Ann's room, so the teen had gone outside as she didn't need to worry about her friend.
"Oh, Jenny." She rested her head on the tree trunk, listening to the crickets, "How could this happen? Geez, Clue. You almost had it. Why'd you go and screw it up?" She said to herself.
Jean walked over and sat down beside her, "Hey."
"Hey."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Who's Clue?" Jean asked.
Calye smiled, "My nickname. Krista tried to say my name and instead of Calye, she said Clue. After that it was kinda obligatory to call me Clue as my Nickname. It's my screen name, too. Clue16_85."
Jean smiled, "It sounds like you love her very much."
"I do. She's my baby sister. Sarah Ann and Mary Jane are the same way."
"Sarah Ann has a sister."
"And a brother, but John Francis and Sarah Ann aren't as close as Sarah Ann and Mary Jane."
"Interesting names."
"I know." Calye giggled, "So she said you know her nickname now."
"Mischievous."
Calye smiled, "We've been calling her that since we were infants practically. When we were three, she broke into a computer and deleted all the files and then got into Mama Katica's clothes."
"You call Katica mama?" Jean asked. Katica was Sarah Ann's mother.
"Since I was five. She and Daddy are who came to get me. Sarah Ann was there too. She calls my dad Papa Davy."
Jean sighed, "Calye, is your mother capable of raising an army?"
Calye nodded, "Yes. The facility, Resistance Alpha, is huge and the army was already assembled. It's one of the reasons dad let me come here. To tell you about it. Mom wanted me to smuggle her information, but I'd rather die first."
"What do you mean by was already assembled?"
Calye looked at her, "I let the revolt of Detention Centers 1abc, 2a, 3c, and detention level C. Jenny led levels A, B, and Centers 2bc, 3ab, and 4a. We managed to override the lock-down codes and most of us escaped to pre-planned points. The army of my mother's went after us and captured some of us, but we killed a lot of them – which I'm not proud of. Any that weren't recaptured went off to places that my mother doesn't have a reach. A 'Family' of teens and children went south, but most everyone headed north or west. I, very stupidly, went east. I was recaptured about two months ago. That's when Daddy found out. Mom's been searching for others to fight with her, but I scrambled the computer codes from my laptop a week ago, so it's going to be a while before she has everyone."
"You led a revolt?"
"Yep. Jenny and I did. Sarah Ann would've had she been there. She's not one to sit around while others fight – although the way she sleeps could throw you off."
Jean laughed and helped Calye to her feet.
