Jackie: I know it hasn't been 30 days, but I needed to introduce Lizzy quickly. People are starting to wonder.
Agent Blorange: I think this is a new record for you.
Jackie: How so?
Takeru-muse: You've been watching the show for 3 weeks, and you've already got your first fanfic going.
Draco-muse: Whoa, that is fast for you.
Jackie: Yes, and since I forgot it in the last chapter, I don't own XME. I do, however, own Lizzy. She's my character, not to be confused with *gag* Lizzie MacGuire. I was even going to spell it Lizzie until I remembered her.
Kurt: Hallo!
Takeru and Draco-muses: What! What are you doing here? You're not a muse?
Kurt: Vaht's a muse?
Jackie: Never mind them. Well, here's the second chapter. It's in 3 places at once; hopefully you won't get too confused. And, as always, R&R please!

How does he do that?
Angie was trying to listen to Logan explain the rules, she REALLY was! But it was very difficult when right next to you was a blue furred ball of energy who was hanging off the banister by his tail. Alex really was a mystery to her, as well as many of the other new students, but the adults didn't seem fazed at all by his appearance or behavior. Except for one strange comment from Logan, "Oh, Christ, here we go again…"
"Hallo? Earth to Angie? Is anyvone in zere?"
Alex was waving a two-fingered hand in front of Angie, who had been staring into space for quite some time after Logan had finished his speech. Zis girl has ze attention span of a gnat, he thought, smiling to himself. The same could be said of him, but he got hyper rather than zoning out.
Angie shook her head. "Sorry." His accent was a head trip to her…she was used to the suburban drawl of her parents. "Where did you say your family was from again? Horrible short term memory."
Alex flipped off the banister and leaned against the wall. "Fahzer's from Germany, mohzer's from France. Zat's vy my accent is zo veird."
"So, how did they meet?"
Alex smiled, showing sharp fangs. "Here, of caurse."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* {{Flashback}}
"Hello Amandine. Welcome to the Xavier Institute."
The professor's calming voice wasn't doing much to appease the butterflies fluttering in Amandine Elizzetta Nelson's stomach. "Please, Monsieur, call me Lizzy. Amandine is trop formel." Her voice was quiet and shy, and she kept her head lowered as they traveled through the halls of the institute.
Professor Xavier smiled. "Alright, Lizzy. You needn't feel so shy here. Everyone is very outgoing, and I'm sure you'll fit in just fine." She giggled nervously, and could hear people laughing and talking upstairs. "Mais, I wish zat zere was someone else 'ere zat spoke French at least a little. I'm not too terribly confortable with English yet."
"In that case, you won't be learning alone. We've got another student here who is making the transition from German to English. Perhaps he could be of some assistance."
As if on cue, they walked into the kitchen, where Kurt Wagner was munching on a PBLTBJ sandwich (hee hee…stole that one from Internutter) and working on his homework. His image inducer lay on the table next to him, leaving him furry and blue for the world to see. "Guten tag, Herr Xavier. Wie geht es?" he inquired politely, not even bothering to look up from his paper.
"Pretty good, Kurt. I'd like you to meet our new student, Lizzy."
Kurt dropped his sandwich and looked up, afraid that he would meet fear in the new student's eyes. Instead, he found that the blue eyes were smiling along with her mouth. "Bonjour, Kuert," she said, placing the R in the back of her throat. "I guess zat you are ze ozer étudent learning English here." Surprised and a little confused with her reaction, or lack thereof, to his appearance, Kurt stood to greet her. "Ja. It's nice to meet another person who's as lost in this language as I am. So, vaht brings you to Mutant High?"
Lizzy tapped on her ears, and Kurt noticed the 4 piercings in each one. "I can 'ear sings zat most people can't. And I can control sound waves, mais I don't do zat often. She is more of a weapon, zat talent." Kurt laughed. "Oh, trust me. You'll be using that one more than you think here."
Satisfied that he had found a companion for the new girl, the professor turned to go. "I'll just leave you two to get acquainted," he said as he left the room. Once gone, Kurt lowered his voice. "Okay, you can stop pretending now. He's gone, you can be scared."
Lizzy cocked her head to the side. "Of what?"
Kurt gestured to himself. "Aren't you frightened of me? You don't see people who look like zis every day."
Lizzy smiled and nodded. "Trust me, Kurt. Appearances are ze last thing that would frighten someone like moi."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Lizzy? You and Lizzy stayed together? That's amazing."
Kurt was trying to catch Scott and Jean up on 15 years of his life. Jean thought for a moment, recognizing the name. "She was the one with all the holes in her ears, right? I remember her." Kurt laughed quietly. "Ja, and now she von't let Alex pierce his, but Sari already has her first pair. Go figure." Scott raised his eyebrows. "How would she even know if he did or not?"
Kurt smirked and shook his head. "Mother's intuition. Sometimes it scares me."
