Ha! I updated way before Friday! Pony up the CD's! LOL. Never mind that though. Well, I haven't seen any reviews yet, cause I haven't checked, but I really hoped that you liked that last one. Here goes the second in one day. But I'm not sure if I'll post it the same day. Depends. Well, I need to do this, yeah need to, and then do my homework. Photography class is harshly insane…
I DO NOT own anything having to do with the X-Men or Marvel. Damn it. Lucky you, you brilliant man Stan.
Standing in awe on the moon, that was not made of cheese, I felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance. This place was so huge, and I felt infinitesimal. As I should. But, I also felt glad, this was a dream come true almost. I was in the sky, in space, the places I stare at as often as possible and wonder what it's really like up there. And it was gorgeous. The glow of the moon was fantastic, almost soothing to look at and feel. I smiled as a shooting star flew by the dome. This was perfect.
"Madison, are you coming? I'll show you where you'll stay." Wanda's voice knocked me out of my aesthetic mood, and I came back to moon. I couldn't say Earth anymore, could I? Oh shut up. I nodded and followed Wanda into the building. It was basically a mansion. That's it. A mansion. It had everything too, a million rooms, doors, gorgeous furniture, fireplace, gigantic kitchen, a trillion bathrooms, and rich stuff all over. You know, like books, antiques, pipes, paintings, things like that. Wanda led me to the staircase, stopped, looked around, then continued up. I stopped as we reached the top, to catch my breath. Holy shit, there were a million stairs too! And all they did was go in a circle. Though I don't see the point. We walked down a hallway and stopped at a large metallic door. "Welcome to your moon home," she said, pushing the door open. I gasped again and ran in.
The view was absolutely spectacular! The depths of space engulfed the theme of the room, giving it a dark and depressing sort of feel, but that was space. A dark and depressing place with little to no light. Stars upon stars littered this field of black solitude. The stars were dancing, twinkling, showing off. I was entranced. "Well, there's a computer over there where you can talk to Pietro. Don't expect much though. He has a lot of run around work to do. See ya."
"Thanks Wanda. For doing this and bringing me. I got the help I knew I could get."
She left. I sat on my bed and stared out the humongous window at the fantasy that was my new reality.
After I unpacked my things, I sat again on my bed staring at the black, unknown void called space. "This is perfect." I muttered to myself. Some beeping took me out of my trance again. Damn it! I want to be alone, to be absorbed by this wonder. The beeping continued, so I went to find the source. It was that computer. I sat down and clicked the mouse. A screen appeared with Pietro's face on it. "Hey!" I called at the screen. He smiled and waved. "How's it going up there Mads?" Mads? Hmm…I could handle that. "Oh god Pietro, this is so great! Thank you so much for helping me out."
"It's nothing. I just wanted to check and see if you were there okay. How was the trip?"
I wasn't going to tell him about my little episode, so I lied. "It was fine. I slept."
"Yeah. That's how it is I guess. Well, I have to run. Literally. Oh, and the X-Men came over. Ha! They're such asses. We gave them a good beating. They've got a search team for you. It's pathetic Mads. Well, I have to go! Bye!"
"Wait! Pie-" the computer screen went blank. He had already logged off, damn it.
I sighed and left the computer. I had forgotten my guitar at the Institute. I need it. Well, in the meantime, I can draw. So I did. I took out my sketch pads and began to draw the infinite void of space. The twinkling stars were my focus of all of them. In one, I drew earth. I made it a large glowing orb. It deserved the gratification.
My door slid open and Wanda came in. "Hey, I'm making something for dinner. Are you hungry?"
"Yeah. I'll be down in a second," I told her as I closed my book and slid it under my pillow. I stood up and stretched next, but flinched and stopped as my wrists twinged with pain. Don't stretch them out stupid ass! I rubbed then gently as I walked down stairs to meet Wanda. They were really red. If I would have died, I wouldn't be here. Which way was the better way? If I had died, I would have been happy. Then again, I am part of the way happy here. What really should have happened to me? With me?
In the huge kitchen, Wanda looked miniscule and quite odd with all of that metallic color around her. I smiled as she looked up at my entrance. She smiled. "Whoa!" I called banging on a pot, "a smile! Where'd that come from!?" I laughed at the end as she blushed and threw a carrot at me. "I was being nice. Which-though-actually, is hard for me. Kinda. It's not really in me to be." I laughed again as she kept cooking her food, and blushing, "Wanda, you are an individual."
She shrugged and smiled again, "I guess. But that's a good thing."
"Most definitely." I went to the fridge and found something to munch on. When I found some mushrooms and onions, I was overjoyed. I love them fried up. I started the stove up next, and set a pan on it. I waited for it to heat up as I found the butter too. Wanda had gone to the dining room with her salad and soup. "Do you want a drink?" I called to her. "No. I'm fine!" I shrugged and took a soda. This was a lot better than the Brotherhood house. A lot better. I was surprised that Mags cared more for himself and the Acolytes than the Brotherhood. His own son and daughter. But hell, I was living her now, and I should make the most of it!
After I fried my onions and mushrooms, I went to join Wanda, but she was done. "Sorry, I have a lot of work to do in the labs. I'll show you those tomorrow." I guess that's where Mags and Sabretooth were now. "Um…cool. Just show me where the living room is, and I'll be fine."
She smirked, pointed to the easterly direction, then left. I walked that-a-way, and found the TV. 'Ah…music, food, and space all at the same time,' I thought as I flipped the channel to FUZA. (few-zah) That was the music station by the way. And here in space, I get 200 extra channels with all of these satellites floating around. As I rocked out, I couldn't help but think what was really going through the minds of the X-Men. Whether they really wanted to find me, or if they were putting it on for the professors. More than likely putting it on. Maybe except Rogue and Kitty. They looked compassionate about keeping me around there. I wonder if they even know I'm not on Earth? God, that sounded weird didn't it? Hi, no I don't live on Earth anymore. No, I live on the moon. Ha, what a weird though to think. Think. I've been thinking way too much lately. My mind has been racing all over. And on the jet, I had those memories. What was this all trying to prove? I shrugged it all off though, and went back to my room after clearing my dishes. When I got there, my computer was beeping. I jumped at it, hoping for Pietro, but to my dismay, found another person looking back at me. Wearing a pissed off worried face.
"Madison!" that face cried. "What the hell are ya doin'?! We're all looking' for ya! Where the hell are ya?!" That was Rogue. Her voice freaked me out a bit. "I-uh…well, I'm not there anymore. But why are you at the Brotherhood?"
"Cause we was lookin' for you! Now, where are ya!?"
"I'm nowhere. I can't tell you. I have to go."
"No! Madison, we're all down hea lookin' for you, and yur all hidin!"
" I know. But I couldn't tell the professor I was leaving. He wouldn't have let me. So I ran. And now I have to go! So, see ya later Rogie! Give all the others my best wishes…especially the pranksters that made me feel so at home." I clicked the log off button, and walked away from the computer. Then I crawled into the comfortable bed, and let Rogue's words seep into my head. They were looking. But did they care?
Ugh…homework to do…have to go…hope you liked. I'll see you all around. Have a nice day, or night, or afternoon, it all depends on where you live I guess. LOL. I am a freak. Ok, bye- bye peoples!
