RV: I'm not from the UK or Australia. I haven't mentioned my other voice
that makes me speak with different accents, have I? Her names Effie. She
doesn't do much but help me with writing accents. Sometimes she makes me
speak in some strange accent that I never even heard of at the most
unconventional times. Anyways enjoy the chapter.

As we walk around the corner, Rogue and Kitty appear in front of us. Kitty look extremely annoyed and Rogue looks annoyed at Kitty. "If weh don't leave soon someone's gonna burst and Ah won't say any names," Rogue discloses pointing in Kitty's direction.
Giving an undignified huff, Kitty walks off toward, I assume, the garage. Shrugging, we follow her silently. We pile into Scott's convertible. Jean gave Logan the keys without Scott's consent, Logan informed us while grinning sheepishly. We headed towards New York City. On the way they told me how they had come to be living at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Rogue's and Logan's story was far more interesting than Kitty's.
* * *
A while later, we arrive in downtown New York. Logan parks the car in a parking garage. By that time, Kitty was in a better mood. She provides us with a demo by pulling Rogue and I out of the car and to the sidewalk not waiting for Logan. She reveals a piece of paper from her back jean pocket. "I made a list of the things you'll need. I like figured we could start with school clothes, then shoes, makeup and jewelry," she says to me with a huge smile on her face.
Gulping I allow them to drag me from store to store. They make me try on skirts, jeans, shorts and other leg coverings. Then it was off to shirts in varying colours minus pink and purple much to the disappointment of Kitty. Most were peasant tops and sport-tees. Shoes and under-thingies which were the hardest to buy. For shoes, I bought a pair of sneakers, black sandals, dress shoes, cleats (I want to learn to play soccer), and a pair of knee- high boots. The boots were Rogue's idea.
Kitty bought me forty dollars worth of makeup that I'd probably never use. But she seems to think otherwise, "Trust me, you'll use like all of it."
I send a pleading look towards Logan. He looks as desperate as I feel about escaping. I feel sorrier for him than I do myself. He seems to understand my silent communication for an escape. "Hey girls. It's about three. How's about some lunch?" he asks. When we all nod in agreement he breaths a sigh of relief. "What do you all want?"
"Italian," says Kitty. Nobody objects.

Once the waitress had taken our orders, we fell into silence. Well all of us except Kitty who was jabbering on and on about whether or not I should cut my hair and have it styled or just highlighting it. I only half listen to her while Logan ignores her completely. Rogue on the other hand looks distracted.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask her. "May I take a guess?"
"Yeah, if ya can." She sinks lower in the booth.
I touch her shoulder carefully so I don't mistakenly touch her skin by accident. Images of names and me appear in my head. "You're wondering what my name could be?"
Startled she sits up quickly. Kitty stops talking and Logan glances over at me with a puzzled look on his face. "Ya know that from just touching mah shoulder?"
"Is she right?" Kitty asks.
"Yeah, she is."
"My name is Destiny. I think I dreamt it last night," I say slowly as I remember my dream.
"You dreamt your name?" Logan asks. "I didn't know that part."
"Neither did I until just now." I took a sip of water before continuing. "Two men in white coats were taking my blood while I was strapped to a metal chair. When the older one left with a vial of my blood four soldiers with loaded guns came in and secured my hands and feet like they do to prisoners. The younger man pats me on the shoulder and says something along the lines of 'Well done, Destiny'."
"Destiny? It sounds so familiar," I hear Logan murmur to himself. Rogue and Kitty obviously didn't hear him because they continue to look at me, bamboozled.
"The more I think about it the more it sounds right," I resume speaking. "Just don't tell anybody about me knowing my name. I want to talk to Professor Xavier about it first."
"What about the boy?" Logan inquires. "He might tell."
"I got the impression that he was going tell somebody but none were students."
Kitty became all excited at the mention of a boy particularly because I had met one so early. "What's his name and more importantly: is he cute?"
I feel a blush creep up my neck to my cheeks as I allow a secretive smile to show. "His name's Liam and he is really cute especially his smile."
Logan growls at this. Either he's letting us know he's got ears and can hear us or it's a warning to me to not continue talking about boys. I have the distinct feeling that it's the second one.
* * *
After eating and idle chattering, Logan paid the bill and we're off to finish shopping. The last thing on Kitty's list is miscellaneous items. Kitty drags me into a store named Claire's.
"What kind of earring do like?" Kitty asks as she fingers a pair of star earrings.
I shrug. "I don't wear earrings." I tuck my black hair behind my ear showing her they aren't pierced.
"Like that's cool. We'll pierce them while we're here," she says happily.
I send a look of help and terror to Rogue in hopes she'll save me from Kitty. No such luck. She pulls me over to a chair near the checkout counter and forces me to sit as Kitty brings the sales lady over. I notice the sales lady's name tag. "Are you really gonna let them force me to pierce my ears, Melody?"
"Quit being a chicken, Destiny!" Kitty teases and nods at Melody to continue.
Melody holds out a piece of cardboard with different kinds of earrings in it. "Pick a pair," she orders. Groaning, I choose the star-shaped diamonds. She smiles and places one in the gun-like thing. "Hold still. The pain won't last long."
She places the gun to my ear and squeezes the trigger. I feel the earring go through my earlobe. I don't even bat an eye. Melody moves to the other ear and puts the earring in my left ear. I send Rogue a confused look. I was expecting pain instead of a dull ache. I stand and mutter a "Thank you" to Melody.
Rogue and Kitty help me pick out several pairs of earrings, four necklaces, some toe and regular rings, and a watch. I can only shake my head at all the stuff; unable to believe I will ever need all of it. Looking at Logan, I can tell we have mutual feelings. Never the less, he pays for the jewelry and we head back to the car. Bags upon bags of clothes, shoes and other things fill the trunk. Weary, I climb into the backseat of the convertible behind Logan. Kitty crawls into the back with me behind Rogue.

RV: That's it for now. It is 4 a.m. US central time so I'm going to bed now. I've been on this computer for almost 6 hours or so. My head, eyes and fingers hurt so please review. I'm so tired that even the voices have stopped. Boy, what a scary thought. No voices to help me write. I'm gonna go now so bye.
*DKN&E wake up* Bye! *they fall back asleep*
RV: PLEASE REVIEW! Let me know that staying up this late wasn't a waste of time or sleep.
