Disclaimer: Well since A) I still go to school and B) don't live anywhere
near the place where they make X-Men Evo it's pretty obvious I don't own it
nor any of the characters or places that are recognizable. I do however own
the following characters: Summer Breen, Lela Alder, Richard J. Alder,
Melisma Kay and Ollie the Butler. Becs owns Toby (she's really cool, she
drew me a pic of Summer for me! :D)
Blink And You'll Miss It
Note: My universe is different to the normal one. In mine everything in Season Two minus the last three episodes happened. Therefore no one knows that mutants really exist. But a few things in Season three do happen. Lance and Kitty break up and Gambit is around.
Chapter Two: An Encounter On Public Transport
A Week Later
"Goin to work again Tobs?" Todd asked from the couch. Toby smiled as he did up his demin jacket and quickly checked his hair in a nearby mirror.
"Yeah Todd, and I'm hoping that Jean won't be there again. God that crazy girl has been there nearly everyday since I started working there, and that was months ago!"
"You know", Lance said as he walked in and plucked himself next to Todd, "you could just tell her that."
"No I'm not telling her that I prefer the company of males thank you very much." Toby barked back.
Just then Pietro walked in.well whooshed in technically, that was probably the slowest he would ever go.
"Why not? She would stop bugging you."
Toby sighed heavily,
"Oh yeah and have people whisper and gossip behind my back. Gee and I'll I'm at it I'll just tell everyone that I'm also a mutant!"
Pietro scoffed,
"No need to get testy."
Toby rolled his eyes as he made his way to the door.
"See ya guys later" and with that he left.
********** "I hate Jean, I hate Jean, I hate Jean." Toby repeated in his head as he quickly hurried out of Les Beau Roses. Not only was he now in a bad mood because Jean had been buzzing around his for five hours trying to pinch his ass but now he had to take the bus home. His car was unfortunately 'out-of- service' after one of Pietro's many pranks gone wrong, which involved his car, cow manure and a flagpole. Needless to say his car would never be the same. He couldn't use Lance's because Lance had needed it that night to ruin Scott's date with Taryn.
Toby reached the bus stop and sat down on the bench. Call him fussy but he hated buses. They always made him feel so.unclean. Toby was lost in his thoughts when a voice came from behind him.
"Mind if I sit down?"
He turned his head around to see a pretty blond girl wearing an oversized hooded sweatshirt and black stretch pants that clung tightly to her skin. She held a large duffel bag close to her body. Toby smiled at her.
"It's public property."
The girl's smile widened as she sat down. Toby was quite fond of this girl already. She seemed nice enough, she wasn't flirting with him outrageously like most of the girls at Bayville High and well, he had to admit it but he thought she was quite eye-catching. 'A certain glow about her' he noted.
"So", Toby asked, "why are you here so late?"
The girl smiled, "I had a dance class. Two hours. It's really gruelling, but I love it."
Toby nodded, "Where do you dance?"
"Gerard's Dance Port" she replied as looked at her watch.
Toby looked impressed. He had heard from several students at school that Gerard's was a very prestigious dance school and most of the dancers were professionals.
"Gerard's huh? That's really hard to get into."
"Yeah well, my old dance teacher sent a recommendation."
Toby cleared his throat; "you must be around seventeen right, how come I've never seen you at school?"
Summer giggled softly at him,
"Close enough I'm sixteen, and I've just moved here from Seattle last week. I'm starting tomorrow."
Toby looked interested, "Seattle huh? What brings you to Bayville"
Summer groaned unhappily,
"Stupid sister and stupid brother-in-law made me move here for his fucking business."
Toby was taken back at the hostility she was sending.
"Sounds like you don't like your family."
"You don't know the half of it."
Just then the sound of the bus pulling up interrupted their conversation. The doors squeaked open, obviously needing oil. Toby and the girl stood up as they walked to the door.
Toby gestured his hand to the door allowing her to go in front.
"Thanks" she uttered politely as she stepped on. After she made her way into the bus Toby stepped on.

"Well Seattle is really beautiful during the spring. The air smells.fresher and the streets are filled with people. I love the city so much. That and there was a Starbucks on every corner."
Toby laughed. It had been about half an hour and already he knew this girl's name, age, height, favourite colour, food, band and why she hated her sister so much. She was very nice and was interesting to talk to. He was quite happy to find out that her favourite book was Goats, his favourite, and the book that Fred had gotten him for Christmas.
"Oh I'm sorry Toby, I'm hogging all the conversation! You say something!"
Toby smiled, " Well Summer, I'm originally from Los Angeles and my mom still lives there. I work as a waiter at a restaurant called Les Beau Roses. I love playing tennis and just chilling out. I hate this girl Jean cause she's an annoying pest, quite like your sister. I live with five other guys."
Summer was taken back at this,
"Five, man that must be a lot of gay guys."
Toby's face suddenly lost its colour.
"Um.excuse me?"
Summer cocked her head to the side, "Well you're gay right? Cause you act just like my cousin and he's gay. He's the sweetest thing ever though. Honestly I'm fine with it."
Toby was taken back with this. He was surprise on how well she handled this news. He slowly nodded his head and turned a deep shade of magenta.
Summer pouted and rested her chin on her hands,
"No need to feel ashamed, it's not like it's a disease or anything. Really you're should accept what you are. Who you are."
"How can you say that so calmly?" Toby asked meekly
Summer thought for a moment before answering,
"We're all made differently. No matter what we're still human right? If someone insults you they have no right cause they don't know the real you. They're just making an assumption on you beliefs. No matter what Toby," she touched his face lightly with her hand, "you are beautiful no matter what anyone else says. Remember that."
Toby looked at her in awe. He had never heard such profound words. Just then the bus halted to a stop. Toby looked out the window to see this was his stop.
"Shit!" he yelled as he stood up quickly and made his way down the aisle, "It was nice chatting to you Summer! See you tomorrow! Try to look for me!"
Toby stepped out of the bus and looked back at her. He suddenly felt all fuzzy inside. He knew that he was beautiful. Now all he needed was that to come out of Pietro's mouth.
*************
Toby pushed the door open and crept in slowly. He slowly took off his shoes and jacket and walked down the hall. It was quite late and didn't want to disturb the quite atmosphere that filled the Brotherhood House. That didn't last long as Toby stubbed his toe on a table.
"OUCH! CRAP! OUCHIES!" Toby yelped as he hopped painfully up and down.
"Toby?" Lance yawned sleepily as he came out of the kitchen.
"I know I know it's late", Toby apologized as he rubbed his foot gingerly, "but you know buses, always late. Sides I met this really cool chick on the bus."
Lance looked shocked.
"Um aren't you gay?"
Toby brushed off Lance's remark as he made his way up the stairs.
"She was really cool though, she's starting school tomorrow so you'll get to meet her. Night Lance."
"Night Toby"
