The girl's let the dolphins bring them up to shore, where Logan was waiting.

"Come on girls, time for practice."

"But Logan!!! We are on vacation!!" Ell complained. Logan shook his head.

"We are at Hawaii, but it dosent mean you get a break. Come on." The two girls groaned and got out of the water. They slowly dried off and walked to a group of the other kids, all of them gathered around Logan.

"First thing's first. Obstacle course." Rogue groaned looking at the course.

"Man, that thing looks impossible." She said turning to Ell, who was looking around, obviously not paying attention. "Ell? Hello, Earth to Ell." Ell shook her head.

"Huh? What? Sorri, I was looking for Bobby, but I don't see him anywhere."

"Course you don't" Logan said, suddenly next to them making the two girls jump and the others giggle. "He is on different training than you guys. Now lets move! The obstacle course, don't forget." Ell rolled her eyes.

"Why do you always pick on me?" She put her hands on her hips.

"Cuz your both experimental." Rogue grinned. Ell gasped looking at Logan.

"You mean you were'nt just born ugly?" Ell smirked, then laughed, "Just kidding!!!" She said as she ducked to avoid Logan's arm trying to swat her. She ran away, Logan fowllowing behind. Rogue hid a smile behind her hand, watching them was just like watching siblings tease each other.

*~*~*

During the course of the week, Rogue and Ell became the best of friends. They played, trained, and swam together all hours of the day.

Although Rogue and Ell worked hard, it was obvious that Bobby was the one training the hardest. The Professor worked very hard with him though no one knew why.

Magma was flown down to Hawaii. She felt the ground and calculated the exact time of the eruption. They had two hours left. The Professor called everyone together. They all came over, wondering what was going on. Ell and rogue looked for Bobby but couldn't find him, so they gave up and went with the others to the ship where the Professor was.

"What's up, Professor?", Kitty asked.

"You have a new member of the advanced group. Bobby, you can come out."

Bobby stepped out of the Blackbird wearing a new suit. A black, long jacket and black pants. He had an "X" on his shoulder. He wore blue sun glasses and apparently had a change of hairstyles. He looked at his hand and it immediately turned to his ice stage. It spread to his arm then disappeared. He looked up at everyone and smiled.

"Hey guys, like my new look?"

Ell ran up to Bobby and hugged him. "Bobby! You did it! Good job!"

"Bobby has been taking the exams while we have been here."

"I knew it!", Rogue smirked, "All that sneaking around."

"Hey Professor", Kitty cried, "Can we have a party? Just for an hour? Please?"

The Professor sighed and nodded. Everyone cheered.

An hour later everyone stood at the foot of the volcano. Spyke shot large spikes to make a long and tall fence. Rouge pulled off a glove and touched fingers with Storm, Bobby, and Ell, absorbing some of each of their powers. Soon they could see spurts of orange jumping out of the top of the volcano.

"Here it comes!" Magma shouted as it started to pour down the mountain. Magma and Jean tried to push the magma away from them, towards the other side. Spyke threw more spike to try and hold it back. Storm, Ell, Bobby and Rogue all shot ice up at the glowing Lava. The first wave of lava cooled, but new lava spurt out over it. Bobby closed his eyes and threw power out., forming a wall of ice in front of the burning liquid. Ice started to grow out of thin air, shooting up like plants. The lava started to slow down, but it was still advancing. Bobby's knees started to shake just as Ell looked at him. She ran over and pulled him up.

"Come on Bobby! We can do this!" She grabbed around his waist to keep him up and he did the same for her. Somehow they both felt a sudden burst of energy flew through them, throwing ice everywhere, but especially at the lava, which after that had stopped dead in its tracks. The village was safe.

"You guys did it! Its amazin'!" Rogue said turning to them just in time to see them collapse. "Professor!" She yelled as she ran towards the Blackbird.
