A/N: Just to let you know, you flamers are SO immature, You think that just cuz Keiko is original that she's a Mary Sue. WRONG!

Chapter 4: Why Can't I?

Get a load of me, get a load of you walking down the street and I hardly know you...it's just like we were meant to be.

Ororo walked into Xavier's office. She had just finished a training session with Keiko. It had gone remarkably well.

"You know Charles, that girl was quite a pick. She beat the advanced training session with much ease." She said with a smile. "She seems a little shy though. I suppose it's her past, poor girl."

"Yes indeed, it is terribly unfortunate," he said with a sigh. "Such a pretty and talented girl. She deserved to be loved."

"I must say she's one of the better students I've had.," Ororo added.

"Now, now Ororo. Let's not play favorites," said Charles with a playful grin.

"You can't deny that she's one of your favorites as well," said Ororo.

"Oh alright," he said, blushing. "However, I do fear for her safety. I'm sure Magneto has heard about her by now. No doubt he wants to add her to his legions."

"Oh no!" she cried. "That's terrible."

"Yes, it is," said Charles.

"Well, I've been giving this a lot of though over the past couple of days. Keiko has never had a maternal figure in her life and well.." She said

"You want to adopt her?" asked Xavier.

"What did I tell you about snooping around in my head?" she said with a smile.

He didn't respond. "Ororo, that's a very serious offer. It will take much thought. I'll get back to you."

She kissed the top of his bald head and left. He just smiled.

Keiko walked into her dorm after a vigorous training session with Storm. She really like Ms. Monroe. She was really smart. Keiko had been the first mutant to go through every singe training scenario in one day. Maybe she really was special. Jubes and Kitty were out somewhere. Probably flirting, she thought. Rogue, however was sitting on her bed. She had Rogue had become very close in the past week. They had the sam kind of personality, and hard pasts.

"How was your first training session?" asked Rogue. "Boring, right?"

"Nope, actually it was a lot of fun," Keiko replied.

"Really? Training session 1A was interesting to you?" Rogue asked.

"Nope. That one was boring. I really liked 10 though," said Keiko.

"Whoah...you got to 10 on day one?" Rogue exclaimed. "That's gotta be a record."

"Yup," said Keiko with a smile.

"I guess you're just too good for the rest of us, Kei," said Rogue, exasperatedly.

"Please don't talk like that, Rogue. It's not my fault!" she cried. She was so scared that she might lose her best friend over something really stupid.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry," Rogue apologized.

"It's ok," said Keiko. "Hug?"

"Yeah," said Rogue.

The two friends embraced and forgot their issues.

"I'm gonna go for a walk. Be back later!" said Keiko.

"I'll take a nap. Bye," said Rogue.

Keiko walked out. That had been scary. She didn't want her powers to effect her friendships. The price of power, she thought. Suddenly, she heard a voice.

"Kei," someone said.

"Bobby?" she asked. "What are you doing in the girls' dorm hall?"

"I had to talk to you," he said.

"You know, I should alert the Professor," she said jokingly. "What is it?" "You wanna go do something? Like tomorrow night?" asked Bobby.

"As friends right?" she asked. "I don't wanna do anything to hurt Rogue."

"Exactly," he said. "So is it a yes?"

"Of course," she said. He walked away. She knew it was bad that she would think this, but she wanted to go as more than friends. She really liked Bobby, and there wasn't anything she could do about it.
