It had been a couple of weeks since Ember had first arrived at the institute. She had already became a part of the family. Every morning she got up early to work out with Logan and Scott in the Danger Room. She became one of the few people that Logan actually had a hint of a conversation with.

She also was getting use to the school schedule too. It was hard going in to a new school in the middle of the year but Ember handled it. Luckily she had Kitty and Rogue to help her.


Ember even helped Storm out in her garden. Even though Storm trusted her with all the other flowers the roses were off limit to her but that was fine for Ember.

She even participated in the Friday night movie party. This usually consisted of Rogue, Kitty, Bobby, Kurt, and sometimes some of the members of the Brotherhood. Tabitha came over to see Kurt, while Pietro and Lance came over to see Rogue and Kitty although the two would not admit it. Sometimes though some of the younger kids would join them and sometimes Scott and Jean when they didn't have a date but it was usually the five of them watching the movie.


Today was the movie night and Embers turn to get the popcorn and pops while everyone else was in the living room. "Hey Kurt," Ember yelled from the kitchen. "What do ya and Kitty want to drink?"


All of a sudden Kurt popped into the kitchen. "Pepsi," Kurt stated as he grabbed one then popped out of the room."He really has ta stop doing that," Ember muttered to herself as she grabbed the popcorn and pops. Her arms were completely full because this was one of the few nights that Pietro, Lance and Tabitha were there to.


"What should we like watch?" asked Kitty. "That new movie Corky Ramono," stated Kurt.

"Ok," Kitty replied as she put the movie in.


Throughout the movie the group laughed. Ember couldn't believe how funny the movie was. Her favorite part was when Corky was dressed in the girl scout uniform and went to the door.


After the movie was over the Brotherhood was getting ready to leave in Lance's Jeep. "Remember," Tabitha stated to Rogue, Kitty, and Ember. "We're going dress shopping for homecoming."


"Ok."


The three watched as the Jeep pulled out of the driveway. "Are ya going to the homecomin' Ember," asked Rogue.


"Ah don't no yet," Ember stated. "Ah don't have anyone to go with so Ah just don't know."


"Hey Ember, " Bobby stated as he walked into the living room. "I was meaning to ask you if you wanted to go to homecoming with me. Just as friends, I don't have anyone else to go with."


"Sure, Ah'd love to go with ya. Just as friends," stated Ember smiling.


"So ya going to come with us shopping for sure now," Rogue stated as she shoved Ember teasing her.


"That is like so totally cute," stated Kitty. "I think Bobby likes you Ember."


"No, we're just going as friends," stated Ember as she wen into their room. "Ah call that bathroom tonight."


"Ok." Kitty and Rogue just got ready to go to bed.

The next day:


"I can't believe Lance let you borrow the Jeep," stated Kitty. As Kitty, Ember, and Rogue piled into the back seat. Jean was going with them so she rode in the front.


"Yeah, you just have to ask the right way," stated Tabitha. "You just have to sneak it out without asking him." As she smirked.


The three had walked into the mall. They walked into a store and started trying on dresses. Luckily it didn't take long for the five of them to find a dress that fit them. Jean found a strapless red dress that had a ballerina bottom. Rogue at first pick of a dress was the same one but in green but she found another gorgeous green dress that had a jacket to go with it so she could be covered up. Kitty found a navy blue dress that had a very low back, Tabitha found a pretty purple dress that was one strapped and sparkly. Ember was really happy with her dress, it was a black dress but it didn't have a jack on it though. She bought a gold filmy shaw to cover her bare skin.

Right after homecoming:

Rogue, Kitty, and Ember had walked into their rooms. Rogue had already taken off her high heels.

"I like totally think that Pietro liked your dress," stated Kitty as she started taking off her jewelry.


"Yeah, well Lance seemed ta like ya'rs too," Rogue stated.


"I think like the best part was when Bobby saw you Ember," stated Kitty as she headed to the bathroom to change for bed.


"Ah don't think so Kitty," Ember stated as she let her hair fall down from it's hair do. "Ah told ya Kitty that we're just friends."


"Ah don't know if Bobby will still think of ya as a friend now," teased Rogue as she went into the bathroom to change after Kitty came out.


"Yeah, right," Ember stated as she waited for her turn to go into the bathroom. She thought that her and Bobby were just friends but she couldn't help but think that what Rogue and Kitty said had some truth to it.

Sorry that I had to jump around. I hope that everyone likes this chapter. Still have questions about why Gambit was in Antarctica, what happened before and after too. Thanks to everyone that answers me and as soon as I find out when I get that fan fic started I'll give ya special mentions. Thanks.

I also saw the Corky Ramono movie for the first time. I love it!
