I don't own anything, except Ivy

Mutant Imagination

Home At last

Her next two classes were simply dreadful, as they were Latin and Geometry. She hadn't finished her homework last night and had left her geometry book at home, so was in huge trouble, the details of which have been censored by our sponsor (Buy Twiggy Paste; Next time you need a clean mouth and don't want to use a toothbrush, Twiggy Paste is for you!). So she spent most of the afternoon in the library, reading and studying, before she headed back to the Xavier mansion. She was horrified to see that they were holding a party, for no discernable reason that Ivy could see, and was caught up in the ruckus.

"So I told Lance--" Kitty was saying to Ivy as Ivy ate a piece of pizza while sitting on the stairs, watching people dancing around. But something caught her attention. Starrie and Robert Billings were talking. He seemed to be using his usual tricks on her and she was smiling and giggling back up at him. She just didn't understand what was going on. She stood, planning to go over and see what business he had with her roommate, when suddenly she was drenched by a huge wave of water that came crashing down the stairs.

"What in the name of everything descent or un- is going on?!" She shouted, but since she was once again getting drowned, it all came out as glubs. It wasn't long from she reached the bottom of the stairs to the time that Alex Summers offered her a hand up. He was drenched too, but didn't look nearly as angry as Ivy felt with her second drowning of the day. In fact, he was actually smiling.

"Keep your hands to yourself," She muttered acidly as she stood up. It was only seconds before Umi Mikasuki came rushing down the drenched stairs.

"I'm so sorry! It was an accident! Honest!" She said as though she meant it, then called over Roberto, also known as Sunspot and asked him to use his powers to dry Ivy off. It was total chaos, only interrupted by Professor Xavier's appearance at the front door, where he looked slightly displeased with the situation.

"Party's off!" Wolverine growled at the top of his lungs, much as Ivy had done at Pietro earlier.

"Yes, it is time for everyone to return to their own residences." Storm commanded in a very serious way that got people moving even more. Ivy almost laughed when she saw several of the new x-kid's faces as they all tried to rush from the room at once. It was now obvious who had started the party.

"Well, since you aren't in trouble, you had better get in bed. We're staring training at five tomorrow." Jayde told Ivy, who was watching the three kids get into major trouble. She was a very strict leader, Ivy thought, but she seemed like a decent enough person.
