Alright people sorry about the last one being kinda short and for the two typos I found. I wasn't really in the zone. I didn't even get time to write in my daily journal. LOL, well here's a semi-long one I guess. Hope you enjoy. Oh, if you have any suggestions, feel free to e-mail me ok? I'll put my address at the bottom. I don't know if they have it on the site with my story info or whatever but I'll put it there in case.

Another disclaimers note. And you know what those are for. So, I don't own the X-Men or any of the characters that go with them. Madison and-well that's kinda it that are mine.

Back in Jubilee's room, my room too I guess, I sat on my bed with my boxes and bags surrounding me. All still packed full of course. I sighed as thoughts ran through my head. 'Why did I leave?' 'Should I have stayed there?' 'No! Of course not! You're fine here!' 'I'm not that sure…' 'I hate being like this!' "And why did I kiss Pietro!?' These were only half of my thoughts actually. Well maybe a little less than that. Again I sighed. "This totally sucks!" I raged. My door opened slowly and I jumped. Rogue came in. I stood up and composed myself as she smiled nervously and sat down on Jubilee's bed. "Um, hey Rogue," I breathed out probably just as nervous as she. "Hey Madison."

"I know you probably hate me SO much for what I did to you. Why are you even here? I would kill me if I were you."

"The professor kinda forbids that," she said with a small smile. "Oh!" I laughed as she smiled wider. I felt really dumb. Just dumb. "So, what did you come here for?"

"Ah just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out. Ah mean, look at us. We ah a lot alike."

"Yeah we kinda are I guess. We could do something I guess. Yeah."

"Alrigh' then. Ah'll go and get some money and we can go to the mall."

"Cool. I'll get changed and get some money too. I'll meet you in the foyer."

She nodded and left. So as I said, I changed and got some money then went to meet her in the foyer. And I hadn't even noticed that it was a new day! I must have slept in that room where I had been held. Weird.

When I got there, Bobby and Jubilee were standing there talking. I didn't want to start anything, or even talk to them, so I walked right for the door. "Hey Madison! Glad you're back!" Jubilee called to me. I nodded, confused and pushed the doors open and walked into the fresh air that was summer. Why are they talking to me? Bobby was there when I captured Rogue and I was sure he hated me, but I'm damn sure he threw a smile at me. And Jubilee? Why did she even talk to me? They all should hate me! I don't want them to of course, but I've come to expect it.

"Hey Madison. Ya didn't wait in the foyer. Why not?" Rogue called coming down the steps. "Oh, um I didn't want anything going on between me and them or anything like that or anything dumb or anything ya know?" She laughed. "What?"

"Ya said anythin' like four times! Ya were nervous. It's alrigh'."

"Oh. I didn't notice. Oh well." She led me to the garage when I expected we were to walk. "You drive?" she asked pulling the door open. "No, my parents wouldn't let me out of the house. A car and a license would have been way to much to ask of them."

"Oh. They didn' let you outta the house? What was that all about?"

"They wish I had never been born. I was a mistake. An abomination. So to them, I was something to be hidden and kept locked away. Something to be ashamed of."

She got into a small red car, so I followed. We sped off as she talked to me about her parents and my parents too.

"Oh, and we need to be home before six. This is Scott's car." Rogue commented as we got out. The mall was a nice place, crowded, but pretty and nice. Again, I'm not that used to being around this many people, so I walked close to the walls and stayed away from many people at times. Rogue did too. I guess it was her power. But we had a good time all together. She showed me her favorite clothing store, so I bought some cool new things and so did she. It was goth as you may have guessed, so I got on well with most of the people in there. One of the cashiers even commented that she wished she was a pale as I was. I smiled and suggested she stay in her room for about 5 years. I explained about my parents, but not about being a mutant and she thought it was quite normal for people like us. I went along with it and smiled. Then she had to get back to work so Rogue and I went to get something to eat.

We both order nacho plates and then sat underneath a large planted palm tree. It was odd to see that in New York, I thought. But it made the surroundings a lot more friendly and cheery. I liked this place a lot.

"So, Madison, do you have your eye on anybody around here yet? Like a guy? Maybe at the manor? Or at the Brotherhood?"

Ha, I feel accomplished! Here's an okay one I think! Hope you enjoy!!!

Oh and here's my e-mail just in case. Frogrocker06@aol.com (the "f" is not capitalized, my word documents just do that ^;^)
