Well, took me long enough, but I'm starting to work again.
Vega:Yeah, took ya long enough.
Oh, shut up
Vega:Make me
Kurt:Girls, quit fighting
Vega:On vith ze story...Whoa, where'd that come from?
~*******************************************~
Vega sat on a tree branch, a double cheese burger in one hand, a mechanical pencil in the other, and a sketch book pertched on her knees. The first half of the day had gone well, except for the pop quiz in World History, which she had bombed. Kurt had played guide for her all morning, and was in most of her classes. She had yet to hunt down Lance, but she'd do that later, food first. Oh, well, on to more pressing matters, aka Kurt. 'Why do I feel so close to him?'she thought adding another few lines to her sketch,'It's like I've known him my whole life, but that's impossible, he grew up on the other side of the world. Then why do I feel like it's my job to protect him?'
A flash of brown suddenly surrounded her, then vanished again,"Avalanche"
Lance pulled himself up onto the branch,"Finally found you."
"Sorry, I've been busy. What's goin' on?"
"Besides being oppressed by crazy homework driven freaks?"
"Yeah, besides that genius. What's happened since you left the orphanage, I've never seen so many mutants in one place before."Vega set her pencil down and leanded against the trunk of the tree.
"A lot."Lance proceeded to tell the story of what had happened since they had last seen each other in the orphanage, with the exception of Kitty, talk about a mouthful.
"You've been busy. I wish I could say the same for me, it's been all working on my powers and gymnastics, BORING. So, besides that, managed to get yourself into anymore trouble?"
Lance just shook his head, being careful not to fall out of the tree,"How the heck can you keep your balance up here?"
"You know me, I've got my ways. So, when's this Mystique supposed to come back?"
"I have no idea, but when she does I'll be sure to call you so you can come over and kill her."
"Ha ha, very funny Alvers. Well, I'm gonna be late for gym, better amscray or I'm gonna get strangled, see ya." Vega jumped from her perch and ran off.
By the time she reached the girls' locker room, everyone was gone, except for a brown haired girl who was arguing with her locker.
"Lockers in this school are evil, aren't they?"Vega laughed walking up.
"Yeah."she mumbled trying to get it open.
"Here."Vega pulled a bobby pin out of her hair and picked the lock,"This is the third locker I've had to pick today."
"My name's Amanda."
"Vega."Amanda's locker swung open,"I just moved here."
"Well, you've made it this far, you'll probably survive, unless you get hooked up with the wrong people."Amanda laughed pulling her stuff out.
"I wouldn't worry too much, I got two awesome guides to show me around."
"Who?"
"One, Lance, is practically my big brother, he's always looking out for me. The other is a boy I met this morning, Kurt, he's been showing me around all day. He mentioned a girl named Amanda a few times now that I think about it."
"Really?"
"Yeah, nothing but good reports though. He really seemed to like you."
Amanda blushed slightly,"Cool, so what do you think about him"
"Kinda remind me of a little brother, playful, funny, annoying, everything I never was, or had time to be."
"Why?"
"When you grow up in an orphanage with no one to help you or look out for you, plus being as different as hell compared to the other heaven born weirdos I had to deal with, you don't have much time to play or be a kid. I had to depend on myself, the only person I could ever be normal to was Lance, everyone else saw me as, well, weird."
"Oh."
"It's ok, atleast now I'm in a place where there are people remotely like me."
Vega:Yeah, took ya long enough.
Oh, shut up
Vega:Make me
Kurt:Girls, quit fighting
