Calye Aurapal
Part Three

July 2nd, 2001
Breakfast
As soon as Calye had opened her eyes, Sarah Ann and Jenny had pounced her on. The two had come to her room, and used her computer, which, because of the sound of the keys, had woken her up. Jenny had noticed that Calye had opened one eye, and the teen had jumped onto the bed and annoyed Calye into getting up.
"Morning." Rogue said, walking over.
"Morning." Calye mumbled.
"Hey!" The other two yelled enthusiastically.
The children around them giggled at Jenny and Sarah Ann, to which the teens grabbed two kids and started to tickle them.
Calye, though, returned to her thoughts. 'Deirdre has the plans. Tobe has the scaling equipment. Jannessanne has the computer codes, but those are probably useless. Fortune has the detention center codes, and they probably work. Jenny HAD the Level codes, but if I remember right, Ren took them just before Jenny was recaptured.'
"Calye? Yo, girl, snap out of it!" Sarah Ann laughed.
Calye looked at the people in front of her, "Yes?"
"Whatcha thinking about?" Jenny asked.
"Stuff."
"What stuff?"
"Home. I say this time we burn the place to the ground." Calye responded, taking a bite of the bagel she had.
"I do agree, Holmes, old friend, but the question before us is how do we re-enter a place as heavily guarded as Resistance Alpha?" Sarah Ann joked.
Calye looked at Sarah Ann, "I say, Watson, why don't we ask Deirdre for the plans and ask Ren for the codes to the security system?"
"Good idea! Holmes, you are a genius!" Sarah Ann smiled. To the children around them, the teens were just joking around, when instead they were using the cover to discuss the recent news. It was a skill they'd developed after reading some Sherlock Holmes stories – if they wanted to talk about something without the younger kids knowing what they were discussing, they'd use covers like Holmes and Watson or Bonnie and Clyde. I always worked – except when they were around the other teenagers, but then again, they'd always shared good news and bad, so covering what they were discussing wasn't needed.
Sarah Ann smiled again, and got up. She was followed by Jenny, Rogue, and then Calye, and they made their way back to Calye's room.
-*-*-
"So you and Chloe were in on this together?" Calye questioned. Sarah Ann was busily making her way through the computer system to find Deirdre's screen name, as Deirdre was always changing it to avoid anyone from RA finding her.
"Yeah. We planned on having her screw up, and then I would go, because you'd always been so good at seeing me – even when I was invisible. Zoë wanted a try at it, but I told her she couldn't. We didn't want to risk her life."
Calye nodded, "What about John Francis? Last time I say that munchkin, he was vowing he'd get to Sarah Ann."
Jenny grinned, "He wanted to try, but to make the plan work we needed someone who could hold on to being invisible for more then an minute."
"So Johnny can do the invisible bit, huh?" Sarah Ann asked.
"Yep. He loves to play around with it. Natalie doesn't. It's part of the reason I was picked to do this. We all thought that the sixteen year old with more control should go instead of the eleven year old who's clumsier then our own Sarah Ann."
"I am not clumsy – I'm just…unbalanced!"
The girls laughed at the comment, and Sarah Ann raised her fist in triumph. "I got it! Deirdre picked a real original name this time – StrangeTeenD."
"That's interesting." Calye said, pushing Sarah Ann out of the seat. She opened her mail server, and began writing e-mails to Deirdre and Ren.
To: StrangeTeenD, RenAndStimpy
From: Clue16_85
Subject: Invitation
----
STD & RAS:
The Party's getting started! Why don't you come? Bring CUPS and SODA!!!
Love Always,
Clue the Weirdo & Clumsy Sarah Ann
Calye hit send and watched the e-mail disappear into cyberspace, "Now we hope that they still have the plans and the codes."
-*-*-
10:16 am
"They should've gotten the e-mail by now!" Sarah Ann whined.
Calye sighed, "They may not have checked their box yet."
A 'ping' noise sudden came out of Calye's laptop.
To: Clue16_85
From: StrangeTeenD
Subject: re: Invitation
----
CtW & CSA
Okay! RAS is bringing the soda! See you in a few!
Peace Out,
STD & RAS
P.S. Heard about Nejg.
"I knew they'd get it!" Calye said, hugging Sarah Ann, "Now we have the problem of how do we get them in without anyone knowing. Or we could be honest injuns and say something."
Sarah Ann and Jenny nodded, "Let's be honest."
The four (Rogue was with them) got up and went in search of the adults.
-*-*-
10:42 am
"Jean was telling us about how you let a revolt." Professor X started.
"And there's a problem with that? I mean 26 days in the Detention Center can really make a person think." Calye said, annoyed.
"No. It's just seems hard for one person to do."
"There wasn't just me. There was Jenny and Deirdre."
Logan looked at her, "Three of you led a revolt?"
"Yeah. Well, Jenny was really my partner with it, and Deirdre was her second in command. But that was only because we're the oldest of everyone. Nejg is 17, and Deir and I are 16. All the others are 13 and younger. They barely even know what's going on around them." Calye said, looking at Jenny, "But I can't talk about this now. I know that this is a lot to ask, but we have two friends coming. They have the plans to RA and the codes and we aren't going to risk sending it through cyberspace. They won't be here long just a day or two."
The adults were curious what was going on, but they weren't going to question it – at least not yet.
"They can stay."
"Thank you." Calye said, and the four teens left.

July 3rd, 2001
11:56 am
"Where are they?" Calye whined. Deirdre and Ren were supposed to be at the school by eleven thirty, and Calye was worried. It wasn't Deirdre's nature to be late, and, although Ren was a sleepaholic like Sarah Ann, when something of great importance was on the line – she would be up and dressed in a flash.
"Maybe Ren slept in. You know her. She's like Sarah Ann." Jenny said; trying to make her self believe it.
"Yeah, but not when it comes to this." Sarah Ann added.
A van started to come up the driveway, and the three girls immediately knew whom the driver was.
"Dadda!" Calye yelled, jumping down the steps and running over to her father. Sarah Ann and Jenny followed, and were happy to see Ren and Deirdre emerge from the left side door.
"There you two are! We've been worried sick!" Sarah Ann exclaimed.
Deirdre just smiled and grinned at Ren, "Well, we had a little surprise for you two." Katica appeared from the backseat, with John Francis and Mary Jane.
"Mommy!" Sarah Ann yelled and embraced her, then did the same to her brother and sister, "I've missed you guys!"
"We've missed you too, Sis." John Francis said, picking up five-year old Mary Jane.
Ren looked at Jenny, "We have a surprise for you too." One cue, Jaynie appeared.
"Jay!" Jenny hugged her last remaining sibling.
"We would've brought Jamie, but he passed on just before we got to him." Ren said, her voice sad and depressing. Ren was 13 ½ - the same age as Jamie, and she had wanted to go out with him. Now she would have to wait to get to heaven to see him again.
"It's okay." Jenny rubbed Ren's arm for a second, and then looked at Jaynie, "Come on, squirt let's go." She said, walking over to her friends, who were just being met up with the adults.
"Dadda and mama Katica, you guys know Professor Xavier. That's Rogue, Jean, Mr. Summers, Miss Munroe, and Logan." Calye said, introducing them, "This is Ren and this is Deirdre." She placed a hand on their arms as she said their names. They all nodded their hellos.
The adults looked at Jenny and her sister, "This is Jaynie." Jenny said.
"Hi." Jean said.
"Hi." Jaynie replied, pushing her body into Jenny's.
Sarah Ann looked up, a huge smile on her face, "This is Mary Jane and John Francis." Another group of nodded hellos.
"The only one missing is…"
Krista Diane emerged from the van, and looked at her sister, "Clue!"
Calye smiled and picked up her sister, "This is my sister, Krista Diane Pryna."
Smiles crossed everyone's faces, and Calye looked at her father, "I need to talk to you for a second."
"Okay." He handed Krista Diane to Katica and walked out of earshot of the others, while Ren and Deirdre pulled out the codes and plans and began talking to Sarah Ann and Jenny.
"Hold up, guys." Sarah Ann said. The others stopped and Sarah Ann looked at the children, "John Francis, do me a favor, there's a TV in papa Davy's van, so could you go watch TV with them, while we talk?"
"Sure." John Francis nodded, and shooed all the girls toward the van.
"Okay."
Professor X looked at the remaining people, "We can talk inside if you'd like somewhere more private, and the children can go play with the others."
Sarah Ann looked at her friends. They nodded and moved towards the mansion. Calye and her father followed, too.
-*-*-
12:16 pm
Professor Xavier's office
Calye looked around her. They were all waiting for an explanation. An explanation of why the three girls needed their friends to come so badly, and what was going on. She took a deep breath and began, "I didn't want to bother you guys because you have already fought a war. While we were fight for our freedom from RA, you guys were saving humanity. We didn't want to ask anything of you. Jenny was at RA just a few days ago and with the blueprints to the center we have a chance to fight them again. We have enough of us spread out around the country that if we needed to fight again all we'd have to do is e-mail everyone the code to mobilize and we'd have our own defense army."
The adults were amazed at the teen's words.
"You could have asked. We would help you." Jean said.
"Thank you." She paused, "When I was talking to my dad outside, it was because I wasn't exactly expecting him and everyone, but since we are people of our word – unlike my mother – My dad's going to go find a hotel or something for them to stay in, so that I can keep my promise of just Deir and Ren for two days."
The professor nodded, "That's not necessary. I'm sure we can find a place for them, for now."
"Thank you." Calye said, as Ren came flying at her with the plans. She ducked and Ren flew into a chair.
"Oh that was sooo unfair, Calye!" Ren said, standing up.
Calye smirked, "I know!" She giggled, and then picked up the blueprints from Ren's hand, "Thank you."
"Welcome." Ren sat down, Indian style, on the floor beside Jenny.
Sitting down across from the two girls, Calye spread out the huge pieces of paper, while Sarah Ann and Deirdre sat down on either side of the paper that someone wasn't near. Deirdre pulled out the entry codes to the detention centers and levels.
"I was playing around with the computer to RA a couple of days ago. The codes to the main areas and the ways in have changed, but probably because of how long it would take to change all the codes, the detention ones still work." Deirdre said.
"Good – that's one less thing we'll have to worry about." Calye said, looking over the plans, "But we're going to have to figure out how to get it, and the best spot to start a fire."
"You've got to be kidding me. I thought you were joking." Sarah Ann said, sitting back on her ankles.
Calye looked at her with eyes of seriousness, "I wasn't." she paused and then spoke again, "Sarah Ann, didn't you realize that no matter how many times we do this, they are just going to go back and rebuild? If we burn it down, then we slow them down, because you know my mother. She will stop at nothing."
Sarah Ann nodded slowly. She know what Calye was saying was right, but while it felt good to know that the place would soon be a burned down piece of metal and wood, it still felt like they would be burning down home. After all, one doesn't spend almost ten years in a place, and not think that it's home.
For the next several hours, everyone – the adults included – helped to figure out what to do. They couldn't go this way, they didn't have the time to figure out this code, they would get them selves killed going this way, and so on. Until, finally, they had a plan.

July 4th, 2001
4:00 am
Calye looked across the ground, and thought deeply about everything she knew. She actually knew very little about her mother's hatred and why her mother created RA. She knew very little about herself and how the admantium had come to be in her body. Most of her past about the admantium was fuzzy and because her father wasn't there, she wasn't sure of anything – all she was sure off was that Logan was familiar. She was sure she didn't know him, and since he'd been searching for him self for as long as she'd been alive, she wasn't sure if she should trust that she'd heard his voice before.
"Questioning everything you know?" Jean asked, walking over and taking her usual spot beside the teen at the base of the tree.
Calye looked at her, "How'd you know?"
"Lucky guess. Sarah Ann did the same thing one night not long after she got here. She came to realize that she didn't know as much as she thought she had."
Calye smirked, "I guess me and Sarah Ann have more in common then I thought."
"Aside from her desire to sleep for twenty-four hours, and your insomnia, you two have a lot in common."
Calye nodded, "I know. So, may I ask, why do you come out here to talk to me at ungodly hours?" Calye was curious. Jean was the only one who came at night, and she was always the one to bring her back into the mansion. Never anyone else, and the more confusing part was that Jean was married – so why wasn't Scott there trying to drag his wife back into the house?
"I have your insomnia sometimes. And it seems that when you're up, I'm up, and we both happen to come out to look around and think."
Calye nodded, "It's beautiful, isn't it?" She asked, looking at the stars.
"Yes, it is."
"I saw them when I was younger. On the way from RA to the other place, I saw them. I was in this van and all I remember doing was staring out the window at the stars. And when Daddy came to get me, I saw them again, and I remember wondering if I could ever get there."
Jean smiled at the teenager, "Maybe one day you will."
"Maybe."
"So what have you thought about while you were out here?"
Calye looked back at the woman, "Almost everything. You know I barely remember what happened after the car ride and I can't remember that place. It's really strange, 'coz I remember a voice and it sounds like Logan's, but I can't remember why or what was happening or anything. And since he's been searching for his memory for as long as I've been alive, I'm not sure if that happened, because I was four when I went there. It's confusing."
Jean sighed, and put her arm around Calye, before helping her to her feet and bringing her back to her room.
