Yes its time to thank my reviewers. I have lots of them. *Dances happily around*

South beach girl - Mmmmmm wait and see... Yes the ending was a bit on the sucky side wasn't it?. I hear they are planning to bring out a new series and movie though.

Eileen - Good point, heck immagine the look on his face if he looked in the mirror to see he was blue and furry.

Sioned136- Just a question, but are you Welsh by any chance?. Your user name sounds it... Glad you like ti :)

Red witch - Mmmmmm....i'm getting lots of plot ideas from you guys

Shadow - Good, i'm enjoying writing it

The scribe - There IS a reason why there are no season two characters. I haven't seen all of season two yet. As soon as i've seen them all, i'll have a good idea about the new characters, and then i will put them in, i promise. Hopefully by the time i've finnished this one, i should have seen them all. If that's so, they will be in my next fic. Yes, Al has the BEST wardrobe!

Miah Tolensky - Yes i LOVE Miah!. Hope you didn't mind me putting that bit in. Don't worry i'll be nicer to Pietro, i do like him, even if he's a bit of an egomaniac.

Foxglove33 - Yep, this should be fun!



Chapter 3 - Settling in

Sam had been wandering aimlessely around the mansion for a few hours, trying to get his bearings. From what he'd picked up from listening in on the other kids' conversations, th guy who owned the place, Professor Charles Xavier, was out of town for a while. Sam was greatfull, from wht he had heard, the guy was a VERY powerfull phsycic, his cover would have been blown instantly. He already had a close shave with that Jean Grey girl. Lucky for Sam that her phsycic powers wern't all that powerfull. He'd also have to be carefull around Logan, Todd and Sidney if they could sense Al's pressence, it might cause problems. He finally made it to what he assumed was the liabrary, if the shelves full of books were anything to go by. The only other person in the room was the girl called Rogue. She was deep into a gothic novel and didn't hear Sam come in. Sam decided it wouldn't be a good idea to startle her, considering her book seemed to be enough to put Stephen King on edge, so he cleared his throat. Rogue's head jolted up up.

"What are ya'll doin' in here Speedy"?, she asked, and amused look on her face, "a'h thought books bored ya".

"Errr...yeah....they..do", said Sam, "i was just....looking around".

"Ya'll have lived here for a few months Pietro", said Rogue, "didn't you look through the entire mansion in less than five minutes as soon as ya'll arrived".

Sam blinked, this guy must be fast. He was beinging to wonder how fast, Al hadn't really expanded on what he had meant by 'super speed'. Sam looked up at Rogue, she was expecting an answer.

"Yeah, well", he said, running a hand nervously through his hair, "i guess theres nothing like slowing down and looking at things in detail".

Rogue's eyes nearly popped out of her head. She suddenly gave a laugh.

"Thats a good one Pietro", she said, trying to get her words out, "you, the fastest person on Earth, wants to slow down and look at things in detail. Ya'll crack me up somethimes".

Sam gave a small laugh, he hadn't been joking. Not only did he have to be an egocentric womanizer but now he had to deal with being an impatient, egocentric womanizer. Pietro Maximoff was everything Sam Beckett wasn't. It was like he'd leaped into his complete opposite. He noticed Rogue was looking at him again, as if expecting some witty comeback. Sam sighed.

*What would Al say?*, he thought to himself.

"Well when you live as fast as i do, it's great to make a pretty face smile", Sam smiled proudly, yes, that sounded good.

Unfortuantlely, Rogue was frowning at him. Apparently SHE didn't think ita sounded so briliant. She stood up and glared at him.

"Can you go fer one day without hittin' on one of us?", she said coldly, she walked past him and out of the room, giving him a shove as she went, "jerk".

"You know, i think she likes you".

Sam turned around to see Al.

"Where'd you get that from?", he asked, closing the door, just in case, "from where she shoved me?. Or was it from where she called me a jerk?".

"Those are the signs when a girl likes a guy", said Al, as if it were common knowledge, "they pretend they hate each other but it's just a cover- up for their secret desires for one another".

Sam groaned.

"So is that why i'm here?", he asked, "to get this Rogue girl to admit she likes me?".

"Errrr.....no", said Al, tapping the keys of the hand link, "at least i don't THINK so. We're not one hundred percent on why your here yet. But i've got a tip for you. Don't hit on any of the girls living here, considering four of them have boyfriend' it's not a good idea".

"I'm not TRYING to hit on them", said Sam frustatedly, "i'm just doing what YOU would do. Like YOU told me. So which ones have boyfriends?".

Al tapped away on the hand link.

"Okay, Kitty Pryde is dating, oooh Lance Alvers, interesting. Theres one heck of an age gap there..... you know my fourth...".

"Dont' even start Al", warned Sam, "please get on with it".

Al frowned at Sam.

"Looks like theres a little bit of Pietro's personality still in there", he said, raising an eyebrow, "okay. Sidney Cagney is with Todd Tolenski, Jean Grey is with some guy called Duncan Mathews and Tally McGregor is with Evan Daniels".

Sam sighed.

"Great, only one of them is dating a guy outside the house", he said, "the things they let kids get away with nowadays".

He looked thoughtfull for a second.

"Hey what's Ziggy got on Evan Daniels?", he asked, "the guy really doesn't like me.... errr i mean Pietro".

Al shrugged and pressed a few buttons on the handlink. The hand link made some chocked out beeps. Al muttered under his breath and smaked it a few times with his free hand. The hand link made a few more beepes then went back to normal.

"Oh here's something", he said triumhantly, "Pietro and Evan have known each other for a very long time. Since they were toddlers. Apparentely, they were best freinds and then suddenly, wham!. They became rivals. They've competed against each other ever since".

"Why would best friends suddenly hate each other like that?", asked Sam.

"I don't know", said Al, "Ziggy's got nothing on why. Just that it happened".

"Do you think i'm here to fix a friendship then?", asked Sam hopefully.

"Maybe", said Al, "it's the only lead so far. Just don't do anything to hasty....even if you can".

"Har har, very funny", said Sam with a sigh.

"Okay, i'm outta here", said Al, "try and get some sleep okay?. You'll need it for the morning".

Sam's head shot up.

"Why?. What's happening tomorow?".

Al mumbled something incoherent.

"Al?", asked Sam.

"You have to go to school", said Al.

"HIGH school?", said Sam, his jaw dropped open.

"Yeah", said Al with a slight chuckle, "just like reliving the old days huh?".

Sam frowned.

"I was bullied i high school", he said, "they called me a geek".

"Thats 'cause you ARE a geek", said Al, chuckling then stopped, noticing Sam's death glare, "i'll see you tomorow. Good night Sam".

"Night Al", Sam muttered, wacthing his friend leave.



It took Sam a good few hours to find his....Pietro's room. He'd walked into many and been thrown out before he got to this one. For a teenage boy's room, it was suprisingly neat. In fact, it fell into the catergory of being DISTURBINGLY neat. Sam sighed and climbed into bed. It wasn't long before he drifted off to sleep.
