The seventh chapter! And here I was thinking that this might not be a long story. *twitch* It's already over thirty pages easy.
HoneyBug16: Thanks!
Asteria-Thanks. I like Danny too.
Laureate- Candidness is appreciated, as is Bella Luna. (Doggy is taking over the world? Sounds like a one shot I may make later.)
Kase- Thank-you! I suppose it wouldn't really be a problem in her case, neh?
Disclaimer: Danny and Doggy belong to me! The X-men belong to somebody else that it is very rich.
Saying of the fic!
Always smile. It makes people wonder what you're up to.

Sleep.
Sleep is the best thing in the world. That is until the alarm clock comes on.
BRIING!
Time to get up. I had to go see the professor about my gift at eight.
BRIIING!
I'm a pretty early riser, but because of time change, it was actually earlier for me.
BRIIIIING!
I had only been at the mansion for two weeks. So far I could get Doggy to do exactly what I told him (when he wanted too) and I could talk with other animals, but only dogs and the occasional cats were what I practiced with. And some pigeons.
BRIIING!
That alarm clock was getting pretty annoying pretty quick.
BRIIING!
Doggy got out of the bed and padded over to the alarm clock. He knocked it off the dresser, shutting it off. I was about to slip off into dream world again when I felt the blankets being dragged away.
I gave Doggy the glare of death. He had the edge of the covers in his mouth and was dragging them off the bed.
"What do you think you're doing?!?"
Doggy gave me a canine smile and wagged his tail. Apparently my glare of death is malfunctioning.
"You want me to get up, is that it?"
Wag, wag, wag went the tail.
"Too bad."
I turned back over and buried my nose in the pillow.
Doggy is not easily deterred. He jumped on the bed and slobbered onto my neck.
"Gross!"
His methods worked, and I stumbled out of bed to go take a shower.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Professor Xavier looked t his watch. His newest recruit was ten minutes late. She had managed to integrate fairly well with the other mutants, even if she hadn't fully opened up with anyone yet.
There was a light knock on the door.
"Come in, Danny."
Danny opened the door and gently shut it after Doggy came in. As far as he knew, she didn't go anywhere without the dog.
"You wanted to see me, Professor?"
"Yes. As you very well know, you have been making great strides with your training, and now I wish to have you explore different areas."
"I'm not quite following you, sir"
"Not all animals will be like Doggy. Indeed, I think he may be one of a kind."
Doggy whapped his tail on the ground.
Professor nodded to Doggy. "Doggy is your friend, and therefore does as you ask, but to fully develop your power you must find animals that do not share Doggy's bond with you."
"Professor, even if I talk to them, they may not do anything. I can't order them to do something."
"I'm not asking you too, but I believe you are incorrect. Do you remember the snake?"
"Yes sir."
"I believe the reason I found you is because you used your mutant power to subdue the snake."
"I just told it to back off, sir."
"Exactly. You used your will against it. Here, we will do a demonstration. Tell Doggy to not do as you ask."
Danny gave him an uncertain look but turned to Doggy. They locked eyes for half a second, then she turned back to him.
"He knows."
"Good. Now focus your thoughts, and make Doggy go sit on the other side of the room."
"How?"
"You will know. Just try."
Danny bent down and locked eyes with the wolfhound. Doggy stood stock still under her gaze.
Suddenly Doggy started growling. His legs began to bend with great difficulty and he walked to the other side of the room, but refused to sit down all the way.
Danny shook her head and broke the gaze.
"I don't like that. He doesn't like that."
"I know. But if you are suddenly attacked by something, you may be able to call for help this way, or even stop it if it's an animal."
"Do I have to do it to him again? I think I got the hang of it…."
"I see no reason to use Doggy as a subject again today. You are dismissed."
"Thank-you, professor. I'll keep this area in mind."
"I know you will, Danny."
Danny and Doggy walked out of the room, with Danny pausing once to scratch his ears and promise him a dog treat.
*^*^*^*^*^*
"ARGHHH! My room!"
Isn't it wonderful how yelling will catch a lot of people's attention?
Of course, what I cared about right then was the fact that my carpet was a sheet of ice, complete with a snowman that looked like Doggy.
Kurt bamphed in right next to me, with his inducer off.
The first time I saw him like that, I fell off the chair I was in. It's very surprising to have somebody with that much facial hair teleport in right next to you.
I guess he was a little used to it, and after the initial shock faded, I was used to it too.
"Vow. Ze mad prankster strikes again!"
"Who?"
I glared at my room. Doggy was sniffing the snowman. Someone was going to get serious payback.
"Bobby, unless zere is somevwone else who can freeze a room like zat."
Pretty soon I had a good crowd outside my door. And I had a good idea about what was going to happen to Bobby.
"Ohhh! That Bobby! I'm so sorry Danny." I glanced over at Jubilee. "He usually doesn't prank new people."
"She's been here for two weeks! That isn't exactly new." Ray pointed out.
Just then Amara stepped in. "I'll defrost it for you, Danny."
Before I had a chance to protest, she tossed a couple fireballs in my room, effectively melting the ice but also setting several spots in my carpet on fire.
Kurt bamphed off to get some water for the fire spots, while I just shook my head. I laughed. It was kind of funny, in a bizarre I'm-going-to-turn-your-room-into-an-icicle-for-fun way.
Ray stared at me. "You're not angry?"
"Oh, I am." I grinned at him. "But getting mad about things isn't going to help. I'm going to get even."
*^**^*^*^
Thirty minutes later, I was sitting on the roof talking to my many pigeon friends.
Pigeons are smarter than chickens, but not as smart as, say, a rat.
Pigeons have a problem with being sidetracked. So, if I could put what I do into human conversation, it would go like this.
Bobby, boy. Third window, second floor front. Ohh! A cheetoh. Cheetohs are good. I'm hungry. Fly into room. CHEETOH. Oh look, another bird. Has Cheetoh. Mine? Attack! My Cheetoh!
A little hard to deal with, of course. But I got the point across. Of course I had to toss in a big bag of cheetohs for the deal.
*^*^*^*^*^*
"ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Sweet.
"What's going on?" Someone called from down the hall. I was in my room, soaking up the last bit of water with a towel I confiscated from the girl's bathroom.
"There are birds in my room!"
There was a thunder of feet across the halls. Misery loves company. After a minute, Rahne stuck her head into my room.
"You are an evil woman."
I grinned in spite of myself. I ran past her to see his room.
I skirted the outside of the crowd to look into Bobby's room. There must have been close to a hundred pigeons. They covered his room. It looked like Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.
Score.
Bobby was trying to shoo them away, but one of them dive bombed his head and he ran out screaming. I'd probably would too.
But then again, me and the other mutants were laughing too hard to really care.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Bwahahahahah!
Take that, Bobby!
Please note that I truly do like all the X-men, and I only bash them in the best of taste.
Tune in next time:
Danny discovers more allies!
Danny attempts to talk to Rahne in her wolf form!
Review! Doggy will love you if you do!
