Daniel lay down on his bed, his own bed. He had never had his own room for as long as he could remember. His little brother always had to share it with him. Daniel smiled to himself, knowing that his brother would be happy to have his own room too. He looked around, inspecting his room. There were some empty bookshelves over in one corner, and a desk across the room from his bed. As he looked at it, he noticed what looked like a platform on the desk. He got up and saw that it was a laptop computer. **This place is TOO COOL** he thought to himself, grinning.
He opened it up and was amazed how new it was. It couldn't have been more than a few months old. He checked for an internet connection, and found a cable modem. **AT least I won't tie up the phone line** he thought.
He opened up the explorer and checked his e-mail. There where 5 or six new letters, not junk mail. They were from his friends. He smiled as he read them. Most of them said to write them back when he got a chance, and to call them if he could. He decided he would tomorrow. He shut down the computer and went downstairs. He heard music coming from Rogue's room, so he guessed that she was just hanging out by herself. He continued down to find Storm trying to move around some furniture. "Do you want some help Storm," he asked.
She turned and smiled, "Yes, that would be wonderful. Usually I'd just have some of the other boys do it, but since they're gone.."
He went over and helped her move around the furniture until she had it the way she like it. "Thanks a lot Daniel," she said.
"No problem," he answered. He waved and headed outside. It was still a bright sunny day, and it was only around 3 in the afternoon. He realized that he should probably start working on his powers, that's what he was there for anyway, might as well start now. He sat down under a tree and tried to think of how he could practice.
**There's no fire right now, and I don't think they'd like me trying to drain the electricity out of the house,** he thought.
He looked up slightly and felt how warm his feet were getting. **That's it!! I'll try absorbing heat from the sunlight**
He scooted out of the shade and held out his arms. He concentrated. He imagined he could feel the heat waves drifting all around him. He tried to pull those waves to him. His hand felt cold. He felt more alive, almost sugar high. He concentrated harder and saw his breath as he took the heat out of the air. He felt himself getting slimmer, stronger, faster. He stopped. The temperature went back to normal. His clothes where slightly baggy on him. He smiled. **I lost 10 pounds in 30 seconds. Thanks for nothing Slim Fast,** he leaned back and laughed out loud.
"What's so funny," a voice from behind him said.
He glanced back and saw Rogue behind him. "Nothing much, just practicing my powers."
"Ah was in mah room and saw you out here sitting like you were a monk or something. Ah came over to see what was up."
"I was trying to feel the energy around me. I did and I took it in. Check it out."
He stood up and she raised an eyebrow at how his clothes fit. "Well, that's an interesting trick. You might wanna show that to Blob."
They both started laughing. "That's a side effect of when I take energy in. I lose fat and gain muscle. I guess it's to store energy."
"Pretty cool, but now that you have all this energy, you might want to go shopping."
"Good point. I'll have to go tomorrow. Know any good shopping places," he asked.
"Nope. The mall isn't really mah favorite place to hang out."
"How come..... OH! Sorry, I almost forgot."
"It's ok. People don't care for the way I dress so why give them something to laugh at?"
"I dunno. But if you took off some of that makeup, they wouldn't get a chance to laugh."
She smiled, "That's the way it is."
"Yeah, but sometimes the way it is doesn't have to STAY the way it is," he smiled.
"Oh alright. You're almost as annoying as Kurt, but you don't have that whinny tone. I'll show you the mall tomorrow," she said walking off, "I'll see you at dinner."
"See you later."
He sat back and began the next part of his training. He found some big rocks that didn't look like anybody would need and brought them over. He concentrated the energy into his hands. He tried to examine how much energy he had and broke it down. He gathered a bit into one finger, and fired it at the rock. He closed his eyes as the rock splintered into shards with a loud crack. **Sweet. Now for something different**
He tried to remember what the energy from the fire felt like. He changed the energy from pure energy to thermal. It was not easy though. He sat there for a good 5 minutes before flames flickered from his fingertips. He built it up and released it at the next rock. Not in a burst, but in a stream of flame. The rock heated up, looking ready to explode. He stopped, not wanting to deal with burning splinters of rock. He realized that his clothes were back to normal fit. **Darn, so much for shopping, I'll have to see how much I can hold and go shopping in that form.**
The sun was setting as he got up. His back popped a few times and he walked toward the house for dinner. He heard the Professor talking on the phone as he walked in.
"Okay Scott. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye," he said as he hung up the phone, "Scot says that they will be coming home tomorrow."
Rogue nodded, and Daniel wondered what they'd all be like. They had dinner, with the Professor, Storm, and Rogue asking about his home life. He told them everything. Well, almost everything. He didn't tell them that Amanda and the others knew. He didn't think the Professor would do something, but he didn't want to take that chance. He trusted his friends.
They finished dinner, and Daniel helped clean up. He couldn't believe he did. He and his brother always fought about who's turn it was to do dishes. But he didn't feel like arguing today, and it would look better to volunteer to be "volunteered", so he did.
He was again laying down in bed, still amazed that this was all really happening. He was even more amazed that he felt at home here.

Okay people, last chance. Either I get info or we will have a pretty boring story.
Bye for now.
