Heh. . . I have a tendency to rewrite my chapters a bunch of times. . .
sorry. . . but it's better now! Please review it! ^-^
Chapter 2
On the airplane, the six friends managed to get a couple seats together. Lita sat staring out the window, with Amy next to her.
"What's wrong, Lita?"
"I hate airplanes."
"Do you get airsick?"
"Yeah."
"Try taking deep breaths."
She did. "Thanks, Amy. You're a life saver."
"Anytime, Lita."

Once they landed, the students filed off with their chaperones. One of the teachers walked up to a man standing with a couple other adults and a group of kids almost as big as theirs, and started talking to him.
"I wonder if those are the kids," Serena whispered too loudly to Amy.
"I believe so, Serena," Amy muttered back.
"Come on, let's get our luggage." Raye grabbed Serena and dragged her off.
*****
Thirty minutes later, the students from Crossroads Junior High were eating lunch with half of the students from Bayville. The rest of the student body was in classes.
Serena stared down at the slice of pizza on the styrofoam tray in front of her, a dreamy look in her eyes. "Pizza? For lunch?? Heaven!!" Two seconds later, the pizza was gone.
"Ugh, Serena, you're a pig." Raye looked away.
Mina and Lita, however, weren't worried about food. "Ooh, there are soo many cute guys here!" Lita gasped. "Why do Americans have all the cute guys?"
"Oh, look at that one, in the shades. He's hot!"
"Mm, yeah. Look over there. See the one with the dark hair?"
"Do you two ever stop looking at boys?" They looked down to see two cats staring up at them.
"Aah! Luna, Artemis!" Mina cried. Then in a lower voice, "What are you doing here?"
"We stowed away in your luggage. Just in case."
"What, you think an enemy would follow us here?"
"Well, girls, you never know," Artemis replied.
Serena saw the two girls looking under the table, and peeked under to see why.
"AAAAAAAH, LUNA!" She screeched. The entire cafeteria went silent, and she slid down in her seat, her head under the table, her face glowing dark red. Soon, though, people started to point and laugh, and conversations picked up again.
"Nice going, meat-ball head. . ." Raye muttered. She only said it with half a mind, as if she were preoccupied.
"Look. . .under. . .the table. . ." Serena hissed.
Raye did, just as the cats jumped into the empty chair next to her. "L- Luna, Artemis! Um. . . let's go outside and talk. . ." She stood up, nearly overturning her tray as she hurried out.
*****
At the table behind where the girls sat, the Brotherhood boys had been watching them. Toad was the first to speak as they left.
"Weird girls. Hey, you think they're the ones Magneto was talking about?"
"Why d'you say that, Toad?" Blob spoke up.
"I dunno. The black-haired one was lookin' over here kinda funny like. He said they'd seem like regular kids. He also said they'd all be girls. And, uh, hello? Group o' chicks?"
Quicksilver sat back in his seat pensively. "You might be right for a change, slime-boy. We should tell Magneto tonight."
*****
"What's the deal, Raye? What's the big rush?" Lita asked, huffing to keep up.
"I felt a bad vibe in there. Coming from one of the kids."
"Whaaaat? An enemy here?" Serena bawled.
"I don't know."
"But why? Don't you even know - oof!" She bumped into someone and fell to the ground. When she looked, she saw the boy she had bumped into on the ground as well. The girl he was with helped him up.
"Sorry." The boy said. Serena noted the German accent as she got up. "I wasn't looking. I'm Kurt. This is Kittie." He motioned to the girl he was with, who waved."
"I'm Serena."
"Hey, aren't you guys from that, like, foreign exchange thing?" Kittie asked.
"Yes, we are. I'm Raye." She held out her hand, and Kittie took it. Kurt, however, didn't, and Raye noticed. But she didn't say anything. "This is Lita, Amy, and Mina." They all waved. Kittie said something, but it was cut off as a sharp, loud bell rang out across the campus.
"Oh, no, we're late again! Come on, Kurt!" She grabbed his wrist and ran off around the corner.
"Sounds like you, Serena." Raye said as she curiously jogged after them. But when she got to the corner, they had disappeared.
"Huh? Where'd they go?" Amy and Serena came up behind her, noticing the worried look on Raye's face. "I got a weird vibe when I shook the girl's hand. I'd almost think they were two of the energies I saw in the fire, but. . ." ". . .What are the chances of that?" Lita finished her sentence.
Amy pressed one of her earrings, and a clear blue computer visor appeared over her eyes. "There are two energy trails leading up to here, but then they vanish."
Serena gasped. "Vanish? How?"
Raye looked annoyed. "How are we supposed to know?"
Luna came over and sniffed. "Ugh. Something smells."
