AN : If you've read the first three chapters then you'll know what's supposed to be here. I know I promised a longer chapter but this one just snuck in.
I take no blame for whatever happens in this story it was the wolf dragon.

CHAPTER 4
Remy LeBeau hurried along the hall, if he was late again the professor was gonna kill him or expel him or something. He hadn't been at the Institute for very long and he still wasn't sure why the professor had offered him a place, but he wasn't the kind of person to turn down a warm place to stay and food when he needed it.
He looked at his watch again and sped up, turning a corner he collided with something soft.
"Sorry" Remy muttered before looking down at the floor, the teenager glaring up at him narrowed her golden eyes.
"Why don't ye look where ye're going?" the girl snapped as she stood up, ignoring Remy's outstretched hand.
Remy let his face fall into an apologetic mask, broken only by his trademark grin.
"Remy sorry chere," he let his eyes flick over her, taking in her dark hair and lithe body. "But he was dazzled by your beauty."
The girl sighed and shook her head. "Save the sweet talk fuir someone that wants it."
Remy watched as she stalked off, her hips swinging slightly and her hair tumbling down her back to rest at her waist. He waited until she had gone up the stairs to the boarder's rooms before continuing on his way, he was gonna be really late now.

Aidan didn't relax until the door to her bedroom was slammed shut behind her and she had collapsed onto her bed. She closed her eyes and tried to expel her anger in one big, long sigh. She was suddenly confused; she didn't usually blow up at people that she didn't know especially not like that.
She rolled over onto her side and stared at herself in the mirror, where did that guy get off talking about her beauty as if it were something that she should be proud of? She had spent a long time learning that you don't get through life relying on your looks, you had to have skill.
A knock on the door broke her train of thought, she sat up just as Kitty phased through and grinned happily at her.
"I've just seen Bobby, he's been like so totally floating after lunch." She sank onto the bed and looked at Aidan from beneath lowered lids. "Is it safe to say a good time was had by all?"
Aidan smiled faintly. "Yes a good time was had, it was.nice."
Kitty looked slightly puzzled. "Nice? Like spending time with a friend nice or it could lead to something more nice?"
"Friends nice," Aidan lay down and stared at the ceiling. "Bobby's nice but he's more like the kid brother I never had."
Kitty stared at her best friend, a smile blossomed over her sweet features and she clapped her hands.
"Someone's caught you're eye," she squealed. "Who is it? Tell me, or I'm gonna be forced to guess."
Aidan sighed and shook her head; she seemed to do this a lot around Kitty. "No one's caught my eye, although I did run into someone new."
Kitty leaned forward, drinking in every word. "Well, who was it?"
"I don't know really, the only thing I remember was his eyes. They were black with red pupils."
Kitty giggled. "You've finally met our resident Casanova, Remy LeBeau, also known as gambit." She bit her bottom lip. "Bobby's not gonna happy, he always loses out to Remy."
"He's not 'losing out' to anyone," Aidan grinned back. "Besides, there's no way I'd date accent boy. If I was gonna date anyone it'd be someone like Kurt, when he's grown up a bit." She giggled.
Kitty opened her mouth to reply, but a knock on Aidan's door interrupted her. Aidan got up and opened the door; Ms. Munroe stood in the hallway.
"Aidan, may I speak with you?" the African woman asked, her voice gentle yet commanding.
"Uh, yeah come in." She stood aside and let the teacher enter. "Have I done something wrong?"
Ororo shook her head, smiling gently. "Not at all, I just wondered how you are settling in." She looked at Kitty. "Kitty, shouldn't you be doing the homework that was due in yesterday?"
Kitty started to sink through the floor. "Yes Ms. Munroe, sorry Ms. Munroe."
"Now," Ororo settled into a chair and looked at Aidan. "Tell me how you are doing."
AUTHOR'S NOTE: OK, so I had no idea what was gonna happen when I started writing this. Sorry it's taken so long but I've had terrible writer's block. With any luck the next chapter's gonna be posted quicker.
