Ok, a little clarification seems to be needed. Xavier erased the gang's mind, not Amanda or the others. In this chapter, he has to say goodbye to his friends.
I still do not own X-men: Evolution, but Daniel is mine. As always, read, review, and give advice.

Daniel drove down the sunny streets on what looked to be a beautiful day. In some ways it was, he was going to begin his new life as a full-fledged mutant. In others however… He just hoped everyone was awake.
He went over to Amanda's house first. He knew she would be up, watching Saturday morning cartoons. He knocked softly, hoping her dad wasn't up. Luckily he wasn't. She came to the door in jeans and a T-shirt. She could tell by his face that something was up. "What's wrong," she asked.
"About last night," he said, "someone knows. He is a telepathic mutant named Professor Xavier. He has a school for mutants," he paused here, "and, I'm going to go to it."
She started in quickly, "Why? Why do you have to go? Nobody else will know. Steve and the gang probably have amnesia or something. And we won't tell, you know that!!"
Her face had a sad, worried, and confused look on it. This was going to be harder than he thought. "Don't worry, I know you guys would never tell. But I need to learn control. This school can give me control so I don't have to do that again."
Her eyes had tears in them, "But WHY do you have to go? Couldn't you just stay here and have a tutor or something?"
"No. I have to go. Don't worry, the Professor says I can come and visit you on weekends or vacations," he tried to calm her down.
"NO!! You're going to forget all about us, everyone!! If you want to go, then just go ahead!"
Amanda got up and was about to storm inside, but Daniel grabbed her hand. "Now wait a minute. You know me better than that. I would never forget you or anyone else!" he looked into her eyes, "I will come back, I promise"
(Author's note: Hero's famous line!!)
She rubbed her eyes, "You're right. I'm sorry. It's just that I'll miss you so much!!"
He smiled, "I know. Me too."
He hugged her tight for about 5 minutes, and then he left. He was off to his next stop.

Mandi had told him that her parents where out for the weekend, so he wouldn't have to worry. However when he rung the bell, he was surprised to hear two girl voices. Mandi opened the door in a shirt and shorts, looking tired. He heard her friend Kelly in the background. He hoped that she didn't know what he thought she knew.
"What's up Daniel," she called, "blow any other houses up today?"
He slapped his forehead, "Mandiiiii!!"
"Whaaat! I had to tell someone. Besides, she can keep a secret!!" Mandi protested.
"Aww man, now this isn't going to make it easier," he muttered.
"What's not going to be easier," Kellie asked.
"Another mutant came to my house this morning. His name is Professor Xavier. He has a school for mutants," he saw their faces dawn in realization, "and I'm going."
"WHY? You are perfectly fine here!!" Mandi exclaimed.
"Yeah, nobody would be able to prove that you did it!" Kellie added.
"It's not that, the Professor already wiped their minds. He's a telepathic. I'm going because I need to learn control over my powers. And maybe, in time, I'll be able to come back," he said this with his eyes drooping lower to the floor with each second.
Mandi seemed to understand. Kellie was mad because Daniel wouldn't show her his powers. But in the end, they both accepted his choice.
"Call me when you get there, and you have our e-mail addresses if you're ever lonely," Mandi said.
"Yeah, and you have got to bring over any cute guys that you meet for me," Kellie said.
Daniel smiled, and embraced each one quickly. "I've got to go. I'll see you again, I promise."
The rest of his visits went about the same. He had Amanda tell Teresa and Jennifer because he didn't want to disturb them. He pulled up into the driveway of his house, and went inside. He came back out with his bags. Containing all he ever owned, and drove off to meet the Professor with his dad in the car. After a few farewells, he said goodbye to his dad, who drove his car home. The home that Daniel would not see again for a long time. He climbed into the Professors jet, a big, black military looking one, and looked his last view from the ground of his city. Kurt and Kitty helped him with his things. The Professor and the other one, Logan he heard, were at the controls. They took off, and where on their way to his new home, and his new life as a mutant.
