Chapter 3

Gwen woke up with a start. For five full seconds, she had no idea where she was. Then she remembered she was with the X-Men on a plane going to Westchester. She nudged Meg, to try to awaken her.
"Mmph.mine.all mine.give me!!" muttered Meg in her sleep. Gwen nudged
her harder, this time succeeding.
"What! Where am I?" asked Meg, who was a little dumbfounded, Gwen gave her a second to let her senses kick in.
"Are you awake yet?" said Gwen.
"Obviously," answered Meg, "What?"
"I'm bored," said Gwen.
"Good for you, me.I'm going to sleep, don't wake me up 'til we get there," said Meg.
"Mean." said Gwen and poked Bobby, "Hey."
"Hi," he said, ".uh.so I heard you were bored."
"Yes I'm very bored," she answered. They laughed.
"At least you didn't have to wear a uniform," said Bobby.
"I'm guessing you didn't NEED to wear a uniform," said Gwen.
"Guess so," Bobby said shrugging, "Wanna play a game?"
"What?" said Gwen.
"A game," he said and pulled out a deck of cards.
"Let's play Go Fish" said Gwen. They both reached for the cards at the same time and their hands touched. Gwen looked up at him, involuntarily biting her lower lip, and thanked God she had worn gloves.
"We don't have to play a game, you know" said Bobby, but was interrupted by Meg who had decided to wake up at that point.
"Moment" she said softly, but audibly enough to be heard and rubbed her finger swiftly across her right eyelid. Embarrassed, Gwen pulled her hand back and looked away from Bobby. Bobby, on the other hand, had looked away and was becoming beet red. Xavier broke the sudden silence.
"Meg, wake up Clark. Quick. Give him these" said Xavier and tossed a pair of earplugs to her.
"Scott, Bobby, I want you to put yours in NOW" said Xavier and they did instantaneously.
"What is this, a game?" asked Gwen, while Meg tried repeatedly to wake Clark up.
"No, it's Siryn, she's singing" said Xavier, as if that gave all the explanation.
"I think he's dead.he isn't moving...that much" said Meg, referring to Clark.
"Then you must put them in for him" said Xavier.
"Or give him a good kick down under; that will surely wake him up." Gwen muttered.
"Hey," Meg said sharply, "I heard that!" Meg popped the earplugs in, one each ear, for Clark. As she was finishing putting in the other one, though, his eyes went wide open.
"AHHH!" screamed Meg, and then caught some more breath, "AHHH!"
"What in the?" said Clark, "What's in my ears?" He then heard *Don't take them out, trust me, just don't* in his mind and so he became silent.
"Sorry, are you okay?" asked Clark. Meg looked about ready to cry, her face was red and her heart seemed like it was in her throat and she was breathing heavily. She sat down. Gwen was grinning.
"Don't say anything" said Meg angrily.
"I didn't say anything" said Gwen, still smiling
"Hmph" said Meg and stuck her tongue out, making Gwen burst into giggles.
"Please, quiet back there, we are trying to land" said Xavier sternly.
"Yes, sir" Meg and Gwen whispered and both tried to fight back giggles
