Kellie went bouncing into her and Tabitha's room to find Tabitha looking
into amirror watching different people back home.
"Tabitha guess what!!!"
The image faded and was now lost on the mirror.
"Aghh…what? I was checking up on everyone at home."
"Really, you can do that? Is it your powers? Who can you check on?"
"Yes I can. Not through my powers, thorough Wicca. I can check on anyone when I can concentrate really hard, and what are you so happy about?"
A huge grin crossed Kellie's face.
"Kurt asked you to go with him to the dance?" Tabitha guessed.
"Well, not by choice. Let's just say I tickled his fancy," she says with a
corny grin.
"You tickled the boy's tail 'til he gave in?"
Kellie answers with a nod of the head and a smile. "Hey, can you show me what my family is doing right now?"
"As long as you let me concentrate."
The two checked up on everyone and continued to talk about everyone and everything until both fell asleep.
Tabitha woke up to her body's early rise. She glanced at the clock, and itread 5am.
*How weird. I never could get up this early in San Antonio, why now? *
Nonetheless, she got up, and walked out onto the balcony, and flew up to the roof. Being as it was early in the morning and a Friday, no one was up there. She was happy for Kellie last night, but it made her miss her old life. The life where she got to see Ryan.
*God, why?! I miss him so much. At least I can relate to Daniel. I'm sure he
misses Amanda as much as I miss Ryan. *
Downstairs, Daniel had just gotten out of bed. Everyone else was asleep still, so he walked up the familiar stairs up to the roof.
"Oh, hey, why are you up here?" Daniel asked, upon noticing that Tabitha was there.
"What do you mean? I've been up here. Why are you up here?" Tabitha asked.
"I didn't expect to see you here."
"Well, I just needed to think." The two sat in silence for a bit.
"Daniel? Can I ask…well talk to you about something?"
"Yeah. About what?"
"Do you regret coming here and leaving Amanda as much as I regret leaving Ryan
for this place?"
"Always. I had just gotten her when I lost her. Then I think about all the damage I could cause without the training I'm getting here," he said, forming his characteristic silver-hued energy ball.
"Thanks. I guess I need to go get ready for school since the sun is up now. I am going to try to have fun today. See you later to go to school."
They smiled at each other before Tabitha ran off the roof and flew to her and Kellie's balcony.
"Where have you been Tabitha? It is time to eat breakfast."
"I'm sorry, I was out on the roof thinking. Also talking with Daniel a bit, finding out if I had made the right decision to come here. I think I did."
The two finished getting ready and went down stairs to eat breakfast. After breakfast Kellie ran off to go to school with Kurt, while everyone else went off with other people. As Tabitha walked outside to head off to school Pietro showed up. "Hey you want a lift, sweet thing?"
"Oh Pietro! Well, actually Daniel said that me and him where going to walk to
school together." She started to look for him. "Now where is he," As he walked
out the door she breathed a sigh of relief. " Daniel! Over here! Hey we need to
head of to school."
"Oh… I will be right there let me tell Scott." Daniel said as he turned, yelled to Scott about the change in plans, and headed over to Tabitha.
"Hello Pietro. May I ask why you are here?" Daniel asked.
" Iwasjsutofferingtheladyaridetoscool. Butthatisnoneofyourbusiness. Now is it?"
Pietro replied.
"Right, you and I were going to walk to school today?" Tabitha asked Daniel with a pleading look on her face.
"We were? OH! Yeah, we WERE! Of course Tabitha, it's our tradition plus we need to talk." Daniel replied.
With that Pietro took off leaving the two friends to walk to school by themselves.
"Hey thanks Daniel, I really didn't want to put up with him today. Maybe he won't bother me for the rest of the day. That would be really nice. I miss Ryan too much to put up with Pietro's constant coming on to me."
The walk to school was silent and in a way, over quickly. Tabitha continued to think about everything that was going on. Later at school classes went on as usual, well, aside from everyone being psyched about the dance and being non-attentive. At lunch the group was all excited. Everyone was talking about whom they were going with. Kellie with Kurt, Jean with Scott, Kitty with Lance, Scott was not pleased with that match, and Evan asked a girl in one of his classes. Rogue and Remy were going, but they said they would show up late… for reasons unknown. Tabitha didn't know the other mutants that well so she didn't talk to them. The only two who didn't have someone were Tabitha and Daniel. Everyone knew why the two weren't taking anyone but they all figured that Tabitha and Daniel could go together.
"Tabitha can I please take you to the dance?" Pietro asked again at lunch.
"Pietro I already told you I don't want to go with you." Tabitha replied. The look on his face continued to beg her please. "Okay on one condition, well make
that two." A hopeful look returned to Pietro's face. "First you bring me a
wonderful and gorgeous present by the end of the day and second you get down on
your knees and beg while kissing my feet." A smug smile crosses her face, she knows even if he would do the first condition he would never do the second.
"NowayinhellamIgoingtodothat. Youareoutofyourmindgirl." Pietro turned to leave and thought better of it. "Fineyouwin!" Pietro dropped to his knees and started begging and kissing her feet. The whole lunchroom stopped to see what was going on. The X-men and the BoM joined together in laughing at the sight of Pietro kissing Tabitha's feet while begging her to go to the dance with him. "Okay one part down one to go. I guess I better leave now to get the other part finished in time." With that said he walked out the door calmly and once outside he took
off running as fast as he could without using his powers.
The Brotherhood and the X-men were both shocked along with the rest of the lunchroom on Pietro's sudden change in behavior.
"Tabitha what did you do to that boy to make him act that way?" Jean asked.
"Me?!? I didn't do anything! I was always mean to him!"
"I guess Pietro likes the aggressive, strong, overpowering type!" Kellie exclaimed with a big grin.
"Or maybe he has a death wish," Daniel commented, ducking the swipe from Tabitha.
"Y'all know what?! I'm out of here and heading to class! I don't want to hear about this again! GOT IT!?!?"
"Yes ma'am." The group replied in unison.
The rest of the day went by with no more bizarre occurrences. Classes were boring as usual and the only thing Tabitha could do to keep from falling asleep was daydream. She kept thinking of how she got her self into this mess. She had had no intention to do anything with Pietro but somehow she was pulled into it. Tabitha kept trying to picture Ryan's face in her mind during classes, it was still clear. She needed to see him. He was her way of staying sane in a sense.
After the final class of the day Tabitha went to meet up with the group to go home. "Hey Tab have you seen Pietro yet? Oh wait, here he comes." Said Daniel. "My dear, dear lady I have come barring the gifts that you asked I bring in order to go to the dance with you. I hope you will be most pleased." Pietro said in his slowest and most sophisticated voice possible. Then he handed her a heavy and rather large velvet pouch. When Tabitha opened the pouch to reach in, she pulled out a handful of unpolished and polished garnets (her birthstone and favorite gem). Then what startled her was there was something bigger in the velvet pouch. She thought for a moment then pulled out an antique camera.
"It still works. The guy said it is in perfect working order. I really hope you like the present, well presents." Pietro said.
"They are absolutely wonderful! How did you know I'd like these.?"
"I have my sources."
Daniel rolled his eyes, "CoughKelliecough"
"Shut up!" said Pietro.
"I guess I will have to abide by my promise. I'll go with
you to the dance but this means nothing. I am still in love with my boyfriend."
Tabitha replied.
Pietro didn't seem to mind and walked away whistling.
Later when everyone was getting dressed Kellie and Tabitha were still deciding on what to wear. Tabitha put on a pair of blue jeans with a button- down, tie shirt. When she went to ask Daniel his opinion he told her he had seen better on her. As Tabitha stood in the same spot as her outfit morphed into a skirt with a blue top.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! It worked!" Tabitha yelled.
"What? Did you do something with your powers?" Daniel asked.
"No I did it with Wicca. I wonder if I can do it again?" Tabitha replied. As she
said that she concentrated on a new outfit. Almost instantly it morphed into a
pair of black jeans, a black rose shirt, and a leather jacket.
"Wow this is so amazing! I love this outfit too! This is almost too good to be
true."
Daniel groaned, "Great, now we're gonna have to wait another 20 minutes while you morph through clothes? I don't think so, I will see you all there."
"God he's gotten almost as hyper as me since he got that built in battery inside him," said Kellie.
Daniel had recently become unusually active thanks to the extremely large power supply. As a result, he could sometimes be very fidgety and anxious. He was learning to control it better, but his emotions sometimes were reflected by odd sparks, flames bursting out here and there. Some of the more extremes made their presence known by glowing eyes. Luckily, he had no stressing events so there was no need for sunglasses.
"Oh well, I prefer being fashionably late."
Kurt ported in, "Ja, well, your date doesn't zeem to like being late. You might vant to hurry before Logan catches him."
"Elfy!" squealed Kellie, as she latched on to him.
"Cut it out kellie, ve need to get going."
She pouted, "Fine, let's go….. SHOTGUN," she called as she raced down stairs.
"VAT? HEY NO FAIR," Kurt followed after her in a series of leaps.
After about 5 minutes of deciding who would get shotgun, they were on their way. Daniel was already there when they arrived, perched on the bleachers in the shadows. He jumped down silently while the others tried to find him.
"Where can he be? He said that he was going," said Scott, looking through the crowd.
He jumped as a voice said beside him, "Who are you looking for?"
"AAAH! Jesus Christ! Don't do that Daniel!"
"You know Scott, Gott doesn't like et vhen you use his name in vain."
"Sorry Kurt."
"It's ok. Now let's PARTY," he said as he took Kellie out to dance.
Daniel at Tabitha's face as Pietro danced with her. She gave him the look- of-death, but it seemed to only make him laugh harder. He got a soda, and was surprised to see the rest of the Brotherhood there. What surprised him most was who Todd was with. It was none other than Rahne St.Clair (sp?). The two seemed to be having fun together as they tried to learn some of the dances. Boom Boom was trying to drag Fred away from the snack table, while Lance was talking with Kitty. Moving expertly through the crowd, he turned as he saw Tabitha slow dancing with Pietro. **I wonder what they're talking about**
"So then a few days after the whole dance thing, I discovered my powers."
"Really? What did your parents think?"
"Well, I live with my grandma, and she was surprisingly calm about the whole thing. The I called one of my friends, to find out that Kellie had the same thing happen to her. What did your parents say?"
Pietro looked a bit uneasy at this, "Well, I lived in a foster home with my sister, Wanda. When my powers manifested, they kicked me out. They didn't know Wanda was my ACTUAL sister, so they split us up. Then my, I mean Magneto show up after I get put in jail and asks me to join him. I haven't seen him for a long time though. I wonder if he's dead."
"How come you didn't go with the X-men."
He laughed, "Are you kidding? Be an X-geek? No offense and all, but I can't take those rules. Also that would mean I'd have to get along w/Daniels."
"Why are you two so mad at each other?"
"It's sort of a rivalry thing. I'm better at everything, and he hates me for it."
As the song ended, The two separated, "Want something to drink?" he asked.
"Sure."
Then Pietro spotted Todd. "Hey, I didn't know Todd was going to be here."
"Doesn't she go to the Institute?" said Tabitha, pointing to Rahne.
"Heeeey! He's got a date! Why didn't he tell me about it?"
"Because you would have never let him hear the end of it."
"Oh yeah."
Meanwhile, Kurt was trying desparately to sit down. "C'mon Kellie, we've danced for 30 minutes strait. Even ze fuzzy dude needs a break now and zhen."
Kellie sighed, "Oh alright. But it better be a short break."
Kurt thanked God and sat down, only to have Kellie wrap him in a hug with her head on his shoulder.
"C'mon Kellie give him a break," a voice said.
"AHHHHH!" the two screamed.
They whirled around to see Daniel sitting back behind them. "Kurt sorta needs air to live."
"Hmph!"
"I'll get us a soda ok?"
"Get me a coke pleeeeease?"
"Ok."
"Yay!"
Daniel just laughed, "You really need to ease up Kellie. Some of the other girls may want a dance."
"Well too bad, he's mine now!"
"Getting clingy will get you nowhere."
"Why don't you shut up. At least I have a date," as soon as the words left her mouth, she knew she had gone too far.
Daniel's eyes glowed a soft, sad blue for a moment.
"Oh Daniel! I'm SOOO sorry."
"It's ok, I'll leave you and Kurt be. Just remember, 'chicks dig the fuzzy dude' so be prepared to fight," he grinned.
"I will. Have fun you wraith."
He paused, "I like that. Too bad I don't have wraith powers," he waved his hands mysteriously.
He saw Rahne and Todd in the middle of the floor as a slow song came on. The two looked unsure. Rahne because she was from anther country, and Todd because he'd never danced with a girl before (A/n, you know what I mean! You pervs).
"Tabitha!"
"What?"
Daniel tilted his head towards the uncertain duo and Tab got the idea, "C'mon speedy," she said as she took Pietro to the dance floor.
Rahne caught Daniel's eye, and he gestured to Tabitha and Pietro, who were giving a textbook definition of "slow dance" in a step-by step process. Pietro put his hands on Tabitha's waist, and Todd did the same. Tab put her hands on Pietro's shoulders, and Rahne copied. Then the two shifted from left to right in a circle. Rahne and Todd did the same, except Rahne pulled Todd closer to her. Todd looked for help and Daniel almost fell off his seat laughing at the boy's expression. He clasped his hands together, and Todd followed, still looking nervous. He eventually got the hang of it, though he was no lady's man like Remy or Pietro. **Speaking of which**, thought Daniel as he turned and saw the two come in. Rouge didn't have the power suppressor on, so she was in her usual class of clothing. Long, high collar dress with see through sleeves and matching gloves. Daniel's mood went down as he saw the people on the dance floor. Smiling, talking, not a care in the world because they were with a friend. He walked out the door, and began the trek home.

Well, sorry it took me so long to get this out, but don't blame me. Most of this chapter was written by Aries_synthax/Tabitha and it was her fault. Well, I have got some more…exciting things to come, but I think I will put that off for another day. Questions, comments, ideas? R/R people, I need to see if you like it.
"Tabitha guess what!!!"
The image faded and was now lost on the mirror.
"Aghh…what? I was checking up on everyone at home."
"Really, you can do that? Is it your powers? Who can you check on?"
