Vega flopped down in an over stuffed chair in her victorian
house, too big and fancy her tastes though. She flipped through
the hundred some channels on the Primestar system and settled on
the fact that there was nothing on. Amanda wouldn't be here for
another hour, by then she would die of boredom. Then, the phone
rang. She quickly picked it up.
"Hey, Vega." She immediately recognized Amanda's voice, "Sorry, I'm not gonna be able to come by, I just got in trouble for talking on the phone too long, I'll see you at school tomorrow, bye."
"I'm gonna die." Vega moaned putting the phone down in annoyance, "There is nothing to do around here."
"How about you clean your room up." A very agitated Mystique said walking in, "It's a mess."
"Couldn't be much worse than what Lance and the Brotherhood can do." Vega said dryly, getting very sick of her overly clean mother.
"Go!" she snapped making the sleeping Apollo, who had been sleeping at the top of the stairs, jump and roll down and land at Mystique's feet, "Mutt"
"Apollo is not a mutt!" Vega snapped walking up to her room, after grabbing Apollo by the collar.
Vega slammed her door shut and flopped down on a blue bean bag, her room had some stuff, mostly papers and books, scatter on the floor, but it wasn't a mess.
"She's crazy." She whined throwing a dart of a sketch of Mystique, "She's a neat freak."
"I'll have to agree there." Lance said climbing in her open window.
"I was wondering when you'd find me." Vega laughed, "What's up?"
"Wondering what you're still doing here and why you haven't run away yet." he sighed sitting on the sleeping Apollo.
"One, no place to go, and two, I'd have to go through hell to keep mother dearest from finding me." Vega growled leaning back, "She won't even let me paint my room."
"C'mon, it's not like your mother's a mutant like you."
"Yes, but she still managed to find me the first time."
"Come on, you could come stay with us."
Vega nearly looked at the boy as if she had just grown an extra head, "Are you crazy, your friends, along with Mystique, would butcher you!"
"No they won't, the only one who might is Mystique, and she won't be a threat to you."
"So, you're suggesting I run away from this huge, wonderful, amazing, expensive, exotic mansion to live a lower class, run down, used to be a sad excuse for a victorian house? GLADLY!!"
She jumped to her feet and grabbed her duffel bag and began to packing.
"You are the weirdest girl I ever met." Lance said dryly throwing Vega's sketch book at her, "Catch doodle bug."
"Very funny" she said shoving her few clothes, sketch book, colored pencils, paints, and other random junk in her bag, "Hmm, I'm forgetting something."
"Easel." Lance sighed, "You are a pain in the neck sometimes artist girl."
"Thanks, I know I am." Vega laughed shoving her easel into her bag, after folding it up, "well, that's everything I want, or need."
"Then come on." Lance jumped down from the second story window, closely followed by Vega, and the hair balls.
They jumped into Lance's jeep, Vega taking the wheel, much to Lance's dismay. Vega floored it, almost sending Midnight flying, not to mention Lance.
"I really hate your driving." Lance groaned.
"I know." Vega said evily.
"I'm gonna die."
"Baby!" Apollo yelled.
It only took about five minutes to get to the brotherhood house, considering it was on the other end of town. Everyone was gone when they arrived, much to Lance's enjoyment.
