"Two more seconds and I could've had him." Danissa grumbled.
"Shut it, Dani." said Alyssa as she hurried to follow Jean.
"Oh come on!" she joked. "I can see it now. The Amazing Unshaven Boy and his Wooden Appendage. We would've been doing him a favor." They entered the class room. "Why do we need to take classes, anyway? We've already graduated from high school."
"These are classes set up to help you learn to use and control your powers." said Jean eyeing Storm from the corner of her eye.
"Oh, like we really need help there." Danissa said rolling her eyes. "We've only been like this our whole lives. We grasp each others hands and things get melded-what's to learn?"
"You can learn to develop them even more." said Storm.
"Was someone talking to you?" Danissa popped off but her sister's voice over powered hers.
"We would love to learn to develop our powers." said Alyssa grinning ear to ear. "Isn't this exciting, Danissa?" When Danissa didn't answer Alyssa pulled her hair. "Isssn't thiss exxccciiitting…Danisssaa????" she repeated slower.
"Ya yea!" Danissa exclaimed. "Exciting! Enough already!" Alyssa let go of her sister and they watched as Jean and Storm set a shoe and umbrella up on the desk. "A shoe and an umbrella?" Danissa scoffed. "Why don't you give us something hard?"
"Well, they don't know, Dani." Alyssa chided.
"Alright. Let's just do this."
"Now, what I want you to do is try and keep your beam on it as long as you can." Jean said.
"Ok," said Alyssa. "Lets go."
"Wait a minute." Danissa stopped her. "Are you forgetting the time we tried to keep melding something?"
"No, but they need to see it."
"Normally, I would refuse, but since I happen to be a fan of mass destruction…let's go for it."
The mad glint in Danissa's eyes made Storm and Jean back to the back of the room.
Alyssa and Danissa joined hands. A breeze flew at them from nowhere. The shoe and umbrella began to congeal to one another. The look on the girl's faces was intense concentration.
The umbrella had begun to turn to leather, and shoe laces began to grow from it.
"Allllyyyyyysssssssaaaaaaa…..!!!" Danissa called as the wind began to grow stronger and stronger.
"Juuussstt keeeep gooooiinnnggg!!" Alyssa yelled back at Danissa.
The air seemed to be sucked from the room, as the twins beam grew and grew. There was a loud POP. When Jean and Storm reopened their eyes, the shoe and umbrella were completely gone, as was half of the desk and most of the curtains from the window behind it.
"Fascinating." said Jean stepping forward. "The beam is so powerful it destroys things?"
"Actually our beam conjoins the molecules with the air around it to where it ceases to exist."
"In words you can understand- Pay-Less Umbrella went bye-bye." Danissa laughed.
"You notice you're the only one laughing?" Alyssa asked her.
"Scott likes my jokes." Danissa smirked.
"On a first name basis now, are we?" Alyssa's eyebrow raised.
"Oh, we're waaay beyond that!" Danissa chuckled. "I call him 'Snookums.'"
Jeans eyes flared, but after a deep breath she felt more composed. She set up two more objects for the twins to meld, this time on the floor.
It continued like this until lunch time. Danissa and Alyssa both felt mentally exhausted as they piled into the dining room.
"Mmm." Danissa grumbled. "Chicken soup and grilled cheese sandwiches…my fave."
The twins sat between Professor Xavier and Scott Summers. Logan came sulking into the dining room and plopped down opposite Danissa and Alyssa. He scowled at Danissa before picking up a sandwich. Danissa stuck her tongue out at him in return.
"Motorcycle class went well today." said Scott trying to break the tension.
"Motorcycle class?" Danissa repeated questioningly.
"Well, small engine repair, but we mostly end up talk about motorcycles."
"How educational." Danissa said in a mock enthusiastic voice, but Scott missed the sarcasm.
"If you'd like a ride sometime…" he offered, but then it was apparent Jean had kicked him under the table.
"I'd love to." Danissa said noticing the look on Jean's face. "How does this afternoon sound?"
Scott deflected his eyes to Jean but then he said "Yeah, this afternoon sounds great." Another look of pain shot across his face.
Jean stood and stormed out of the room.
"Excuse me." Scott said, following her. Danissa couldn't help laughing.
"Sometimes it's just too easy." she smiled.
"Be have yourself." Alyssa grumbled.
"What?" Danissa smirked. "I'm only trying to fit in."
