Ororo beckoned Angela into her History classroom, "Angela, after I stopped
calling up the winds, they kept going. Do you know why?"
Angela nodded guiltily, "I kept them going."
Ororo indicated a chair, "Sit down. Do you know how many other powers you have?"
Angela stopped and thought, 'Should I tell her where I was last night?'
After a moment of indecision, she shook her head, "Not really. I guess that I just pick up on whatever I see."
Ororo contemplated this for a brief, agonizing moment, "Okay. Has Xavier offered you training yet?"
"No. He seemed.preoccupied when he last talked to me."
Ororo sat down in front of her, "Would you like training?"
Angela hesitated again, "I don't really want to make a commitment to any sort of team yet."
Ororo smiled, "That's all right. I said nothing about 'joining' our team, just allowing us to help you with your powers. You could think about it a little while down the road."
Angela relaxed and leaned back in her chair, "I guess that a little bit of 'training' wouldn't hurt."
Ororo smiled comfortingly, "You can go back to your dormitory now. That's all I needed to know."
Angela stood up awkwardly and left the room. She walked down to the cafeteria and poked a few quarters into the vending machine. She popped open the soda and sipped at it on her way back to the room, where Kitty was jamming her newest cd. Angela pushed open the door and plopped down on her bed, opening a bag of potato chips.
Kitty finally looked up, "Cool! You're back!" She joined Angela on her bed, "Okay, here's the deal. Because this is the first Friday we got out of school early, I was thinking that we might have a dorm party. Sound cool? All we have to do is get the other girls to pitch in a few bucks for pizza and soda and then we could jam our music until 2 in the morning. Whaddya think?"
Angela smiled inwardly at Kitty's enthusiasm, "Okay. Does the pizza place deliver?"
"Yep!" she bobbed her head enthusiastically.
"Okay, then. I'll order the pizza and get the sodas. You call up the girls."
Kitty walked through the door and headed to spread the news about the party.
Angela picked up the phone and riffled through the telephone book.
'Let's see. Pizzaro .Preston.Pickett,. Pritchard . Ah ha! Here it is, Pizza Inn.'
She picked up the phone and dialed.
A bored voice answered, "Hello, this is Pizza Inn. Can I take your order?"
Angela ordered 4 extra large pizzas.
The voice droned on, "Thank you. Your total is $24.30. It will be about a 30 minute wait. Thankyou."
No sooner had she hung up the phone, she heard a crowd of voices approaching their room.
Kitty popped her head in briefly, "Didja order them yet?"
Angela nodded, "I've still gotta go pick up the sodas though. Have they chipped in a few dollars yet?"
Kitty waved a fist full of cash at her, "Yep. How much were the pizzas?" Angela shrugged, "About 25 dollars I guess."
Kitty fingered the cash thoughtfully, "I think we have enough here for some chips, dip, soda, and, if we're careful, some dessert."
"Alright!" Angela grinned uncontrollably.
Kitty passed her some of the money, "The rest'll take care of the pizza and tip. Hurry back!"
Angela nodded guiltily, "I kept them going."
