John never did tell anyone about what Mystique had told him, he figured she was just bluffing. After all, sure she had gotten into the school before, she even went as far as to morph into Bobby, but she wouldn't try something so similar... would she? 'Nah, of course not, John, stop being stupid. The teachers look out for stuff like that now.'
They had been back at the school about two weeks, and everything was going beautifully. Sarah, as expected, hadn't remembered anything about being 'taken to the other side'. Although she still resented John for not returning her feelings, that was to be expected, but she showed no signs of wanting to hurt Amanda or himself. Scott and Ororo had indeed went in the jet and gotten all of the stuff they left behind. After hearing their story--and receiving many apologies and a lot of sympathy about not detecting any of it--they talked the teachers into letting the whole school off of classes for a whole week. The teachers were all more than willing. They knew the students wouldn't be paying much attention for a while anyway.

Mystique stood at the edge of the school grounds, a malicious smile across her face. This was going to be more fun than she originally thought it would. 'And easy too.' Getting into her new form she strutted methodically towards the doors. She wasn't expected, and she wasn't suspected. 'And so it begins.'

The Professor, Storm, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler had all gone back off to Alkali Lake. Leaving Wolverine to baby sit yet again. He didn't like this, but the kids did. He was never around, so there was more or less no supervision.

Bobby and Marie sat across from John and Amanda in the kitchen. Bobby was, of course, stuffing his face with ice cream. While John, Amanda, and Marie each had a large pile of cookies and tall glasses of milk. Everyone was happy. Amanda suddenly stood up, knocking over her glass. "Oops! Damn, I'll get that when I get back." Marie shrugged, "I got it. Where are you going?" She questioned as she got up to clean up the mess. Amanda half-skipped half-ran to the door, "I've really gotta go to the bathroom... personal issues involved here." She flashed Marie a grin and ran off.
Rogue laughed, knowing exactly what she was talking about. 'She should have known it was that time of the month.' She a chuckle she continued cleaning up the spilled milk. After about ten minutes John stood up, getting slightly worried. They hadn't been apart this long unless one of them was asleep. "I'm gonna go see what's keeping her. I should be right back." He stood up and sauntered off.
He ran into her as she was coming in from outside. He blinked, "What were you doing out there?" She returned a similar expression, before replacing it with a joking smile. "Jubilee wanted to show me something...." Her answer seemed slightly vague, but he didn't care. She was back now. With a smirk she put her arms around his neck and brought him in for a kiss. When they separated he was grinning from ear to ear. "What was that for?" She smiled mischievously, "Well, I was just thinking. Since the only real adult around is Logan, and since he isn't around too much. Maybe I could model some of my new lingerie for you, up in my room. And if something happens afterward, well, you can just let your dirty little mind take over from there."
Her smile widened when her meaning came across him like a ton of bricks. He tried to hide his eagerness, "Mmm.. sounds nice. You go on up, I'm gonna go tell the others where we're going." She shook her head, "Ok, but don't tell them that I'm with you. Don't want any interruptions now do we?" He nodded and she headed upstairs, a faint yellow glow in her eyes.

John darted anxiously into the bedroom, where his girlfriend was already lying on the bed, in a nightie very similar to Rogues, only it was the same color green as her dance dress had been. She smiled and patted the bed beside her, 'This is going to be good. And look how eagerly he's falling for it.'
John practically tumbled onto the bed. Amanda gave him a quick kiss. "What did you tell them?" He kissed her back, "Just that I was a little tired and wanted to go to bed. They actually suggested that me and Marie switch rooms for the night, so they can have some alone time as well, although I don't know exactly what they plan on doing, I'm looking forward to OUR night." His grin widened, she smiled back. "Believe me, I am too."

Amanda walked back inside, 'That's odd. I could have sworn I heard Jubes calling for me. Oh well. Better get back to the kitchen.' She hummed a little and re-entered the room where she found only Bobby and Marie awaiting her. She blinked and looked around, "Where's Johnny boy?" Bobby shrugged, "He said something about being tired and going to bed. He went to your room, because Marie and I want to stay in our room tonight, so when you go to bed don't be surprised if he's already in it." Amanda nodded, a little hurt by the fact that he didn't even wait to kiss her goodnight, but she shrugged it off. 'Guys can be so strange about things like that.' Her frown deepened, "I don't know why he is so tired all the sudden, all we've been doing all day is lying around the mansion." Marie and Bobby both shrugged as Amanda sat down to finish her cookies and milk. She wasn't going to bed, since she wasn't anything near tired.

Bobby, Marie, Allen, Jake, Kaylin, Kitty, Jubilee, and Amanda all sat down in the front room at about midnight watching movies. There were all sorts of other teens sitting around watching as well but they weren't of much importance. Amanda hadn't really been able to concentrate too hard on the movies. She was still wondering why John would just up and go to bed. 'It's so odd. He seemed wide awake before I went to the bathroom...' It had been five hours since John went to bed. Marie must have noticed her absence in all the conversations because she suddenly looked at her and suggested, "Are you getting tired Amanda?" Amanda looked over at her, finally catching her drift, she was making an excuse for Amanda to leave. She nodded said goodnight to everyone and headed up the stairs.

Mystique (surprise) looked over at the sleeping teenage boy she had just had sex with and smirked. Her expression broadened when she heard footsteps just outside the door, quickly she changed into someone else, someone she knew would really start something.

Heaving a sigh Amanda opened the door to her dorm and flicked the lights on. What she saw there made her breath leave her and she wanted nothing more than to run and never stop. 'How could he do this?'
