HARPY: THE BEGINNING



CHAPTER THREE: HARPY MAKES TROUBLE



When Harpy awoke the next morning she slipped out of bed. Jean was still asleep.

"Harpy explore!" she thought to herself. She looked down at what she was wearing. She was wearing an ankle length night gown that Jean had altered in the back to accommodate her wings. Other than the night gown she didn't have anything else on.

"All this Harpy have." then she smiled. "Harpy no care. Explore go anyway."

Harpy opened the door to the room and stepped out into the hallway. It was empty At the moment. Harpy was excited. What an adventure!

"Harpy like." she thought. "Place Harpy for is this."

Happily trilling and whistling, Harpy continued to explore. All of a sudden she stopped.

"Bathroom Harpy need." She thought. "Can't find! Harpy go need fast! HELP!!!" Harpy's frantic psychic cry was heard by Jean. Jean rushed out of her room and ran to Harpy's side. "Here I'll take you to one, okay?"

"YES!" Cried Harpy again. "GO HARPY NEED! GO HARPY NEED!!"

Jean threw open a door. "Here you go," Harpy almost knocked Jean off her feet getting in. She came out a minute later, a look of relief on her face.

"Go Harpy explore more!" Harpy said happily, starting to walk away. Jean caught her by the arm.

"Oh, no you don't." she told Harpy sternly. You are going nowhere until you're dressed decently. Now come with me."

She led the unwilling Harpy back to her room and shut the door.

"Here," said Jean, 'Let me help you with this." She helped Harpy remove the night gown carefully. Then she took a closer look at Harpy. The sixteen year old girl stood only 4'10 and weighed at the most eighty pounds. She had the body of a goddess, beautiful in form. Her pure black feathered wings had a wing span of twenty feet and reached from her shoulders to her ankles.

Just then came a knock on the door. "Jean?" Called Scott's voice.

Jean opened the door a crack. "Hi, Scott."

"Every thing okay?" asked Scott.

"Everything's fine. Could you do me a favor?"

"Sure," Scott replied. "What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to go get Ororo. Tell her to bring several one piece dresses and some undergarments." Jean asked of him.

"Sure thing." Scott said, then left.

A minute later Ororo knocked and came in.

"Here are the clothes you wanted. What do we do now?" Ororo asked.

"We're going to see if we can find something for Harpy to wear. Come help me."

"Harpy." Jean said. "Come here."

Harpy wandered over to them. "What want with Harpy?"

"Put these on." Ororo told her handing her a pair of panties. Harpy looked confused.

"Why?" She asked.

"Because I said to." Ororo answered.

"Okay." Harpy said, putting them on.

After modifying all the dresses, they then started trying to fit them on Harpy.

Jean handed Harpy a dress and told her to put it on. Harpy did so. Then she ripped it off. "Not feel good! Not wear!!"

"Okay. Try this one." Said Jean handing Harpy another dress.

Harpy put it on then ripped it off to.

"No like! Harpy no wear anything!!"

"You can't do that Harpy." Ororo told her.

"Why?" Harpy asked irritably.

"Because you can't walk around naked." Jean said.

"Harpy no understand."

Just try this one." Ororo said.

She handed Harpy a long filmy dress. Harpy put it on, wiggled around in it.

"HARPY LIKE! HARPY LIKE! HARPY WEAR!!" And then Harpy threw herself into Jean's arms.

Ororo watched them for a second, then said, "I think she's taken with you Jean."

"I know." Jean sighed looking down at Harpy, happily snuggling in her arms.
