I'm back! And I figured out the encoding problem! Wooohooo!

Oh, and if you were trying to leave anonymous reviews, I'm real sorry. I was fiddling around with my bio and realized that the little box that says 'block anonymous reviews' was checked. I have unchecked it and you should be able to leave reviews. I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

Akai Kah'ghe- I will bring you to the dark side of the fics.. Bwahahahaha!!!

Laureate-Yes, they shall. A pity. But this is not the end of Doggy.

Abigail Marie- Thank-you! I'm glad you like it.

Moonshadow-As you wish, m'dear.

Disclaimer:I don't own the X-men. If I did, Doggy would be Wondercanine.

Dad walked back into the house with a funny look on his face. He was followed by a bald gentleman in a wheelchair, a girl with red hair, maybe a couple years older than me, a boy my age, and this burly looking dude with weird hair. Mom was the first to say anything.

"Hon? Who-"

"They're mutants."

"Mutants?"

"Yes." I looked over to the speaker, the gentleman. "We have come because one of your children is a mutant."

"Wh-what? My?" Mom was on the verge of being speechless. Not that I blame her. Not everyday people walk into your house saying one of your kids is a mutant.

I'd heard about mutants. I always wondered what it would be like to meet one.

Now I had one in the family. It was kinda cool to think about it.

"How do we know your mutants?" Mom had found her voice. She was glaring at them.

"Jean." The gentleman nodded to the red head. She lifted her hands-

And lifted herself off the ground. No tricks. She was just floating there.

Okay. That was pretty snazzy.

I was broken out of my trance by someone tugging on my t-shirt. All the munchkins had surrounded me, and all of them had an identical look of wonder, but fear.

"Sis." One of them looked up imploringly. Brunette.

"Yeah?" Mom and Dad were still talking to the mutants, so I whispered. They all started talking.

"They're gonna take one of us away, aren't they?"

"Were we bad?"

"Shh.. No, of course not. You guys are good little mini-monsters." I smiled at them.

Mom and Dad were still talking to the mutants, totally oblivious to the conversation.

"Janet at school said Mutants were nasty and ugly little warmongers."

I looked at the blonde that just spoke. "Isn't she the one with the nasty black teeth and a face only a mother could love? I don't think she should be talking."

"What's a warmonger?"

"Beats me. She probably doesn't know either."

"Then why'd she say it?"

"She's pretentious."

"What's ten-chus?"

"You say big words to impress people."

"Are you puh-ten-chus?"

"Yep."

"Is one of us a mutant?" I peered over at another brunette.

"Probably."

"Will they take one of us away?"

"I don't know." I saw a couple sniffles starting. "But I won't let them hurt you."

"Pwomise?"

"I pinky-swear it." I solemnly gave them my pinky.

Everyone knew pinky-promises were the most sacred promises that children created. Going back on them was like renouncing your birthright.

"Jared! Girls! Come here." Dad motioned us over. I led the kids over to them.

"Hello everyone. My name is Professor Xavier. I'm going to ask that each of you stand in front of me while I perform a sort of test to see if you are unique." He beckoned the oldest brunette (other then me) over. He pointed to the patch of floor directly in front of him. "Stand here."

The first thing out of little sister's mouth when she got there was, "How come you're so bald?"

I couldn't help it. I snorted so loudly that it sounded like I was having a fit.

I quickly got it under control when Mom and Dad glared at me. But as I snuck a glance towards the other mutants, I noticed both of the other guys were on the verge of laughter. The red head, Jean, was hiding a little smile.

Whether they were laughing at her or me, I don't know.

She was not a mutant. Neither was any of her younger sisters. That left Jared. I felt very nervous. He toddled up to Professor Xavier, and looked at him with very serious eyes.

Professor Xavier touched his little head with his fingers. I assume his power is finding mutants or something. After a bit, he took his hand away and smiled.

"Please go sit with your sisters." Jared trundled off to go sit by the eldest brunette.

I didn't get it. Did that mean he wasn't a mutant?

"I believe I have discovered the identity of the mutant. But to be sure…Danny? Will you come here please?"

Alright. I'll admit, it's a little unnerving to have somebody you don't know, and you know you're parents didn't tell, say your name as if they've know you forever. It's just weird. But my siblings did it, I guess I should to.

I stood in front of him, and stooped slightly so he could reach my forehead better.

It was strange, frightening, and a little crazy. As soon as he touched my forehead, it was as if I was seeing the events of the morning in fast forward. Me helping the dog. Me getting sneezed on. Me and the sna-

Oh.

Uh-oh.

*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^

Xavier watched the look of comprehension dawn across her face. He smiled. "There is nothing to worry about. You have an amazing gift."

There were gasps from the parents. The children started to cry.

"They're gonna take sis away!"

As if that wasn't enough, a very large grey wolfhound bounded though a dog door snarling and growling. It took the nearest threat, which just happened to be Logan.

Logan was bowled over by the massive dog and threw an arm up when it tried to bite him.

The children started screaming and ran behind their parents. All except for Danny, who dove for the dog.

'Jean!' Xavier could see that someone was going to get hurt. And it was unlikely that it would be Logan.

Jean lifted the dog up by telekinesis, but it was still latched onto Logan's arm, refusing to let go. Danny grabbed it by the collar.

"No! Bad Doggy! Let him go!" She yanked it's head around to face her. They stood that way for a moment, then it reluctantly let go.

Logan looked down at fast healing bite marks and scowled at the dog. It glowered at him.

Danny still had the dog by the collar. She glanced at Jean. "You can put him down now. He won't bite anyone as long as I've got him.

As Jean put the dog down, she glared pointedly at Bobby, who had iced up. Bobby promptly melted.

Xavier nodded to Danny's parents. "I hope that puts your suspicions to rest. Danny is an Animal Empath, capable of speaking to animals and feeling their emotions."

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Hahahahahah! I rather liked writing this one. It was loads of fun. I especially liked the conversation with Danny and her sisters.

Tune in next time for:

Doggy's fate!

A sad parting and some really bizarre going away presents!
