Madam Octa: Wow, okay take a breath. First it's ONLY Jubilee & Kitty who are like that the rest of the girls AREN'T. Sure the rest go there from time to time, but so do the guys. Plus in a future story I'm bringing in a female character that hates that. Now I can understand your position, but you didn't have to put up something like that as a review.

Shadow-Spider: I'm glad someone like the story, at least I can always count on you to like it.

Red Witch: same goes for you RW.

BLINK'S NEW LIFE

CHAPTER 8: NEW HUMAN FRIENDS

"Hey guys." Tabitha said to the new arrivals. "I'd like you all to meet the new girl. This is Clarice Ferguson, also called Blink."

Pam was the first up, after a peek on the cheek to Ray, and walked right up to her. "Hey, I'm Pamela Cranston, but please call me Pam, only my mother calls me Pamela and I want to keep it like that."

Blink smiled slightly as she shook the girl's hand. "Sure thing Pam."

Joseph was up next. "I'm Joseph McKnight and the other girl here is my big sister Amy." Amy nodded her head and shyly offered her hand. Blink could see she was a little like Amy in that department.

"Oh no they're multiplying." Pam muttered. "Huh?" Blink asked with a confused look. Pam just shook her head. "You and Amy, I swear you two should really get over this shy thing, I mean you two should live a little, right Taby?"

"You know it girl, but I think we can help them out." Tabitha said with a smile to match the one Pam had.

"Speaking of multiplying, now we got two wide ones." Bobby said, unfortunately for him the two of them heard this and starting giving him a look that told him he was in deep trouble. "Bobby....run." Jubilee said to him as she saw the look in their faces.

He did, but didn't get far enough before Boom-Boom launched a time-bomb in his direction. It wasn't a big one, but was big enough to have him jump in the air.

"Damn, if only he would jump like that in the game." Vincent said looking at how high the boy jumped, Kurt nodded his head.

"So what now?" Pam said to everyone.

"Well, I'm going tae park an Joseph was going ta go wi' me." Rahne spoke up.

Jubilee spoke up next as she go to leave the group. "Well me and Bobby were just going to hang out here, besides I better go and try to see if he's okay."

"Vincent and meh were just goin' ta hang out at the coffee shop a little." Rogue shrugged.

"I though that place was destroyed in that battle with Juggernaut?" Jay asked them.

"No not that one." Rogue corrected for him. "That's still is bein' repaired."

"Plus I don't think the owner would be glad to see us." Vincent put in. "We go to the other place across town, it's a little father away, but it a pretty good place."

"Sounds like fun." Amanda said. "You mind some company?"

Rogue and Vincent shared a look, they usually went with just each other, but Vincent just shrugged to her, and she turned to the others. "Fahne, we can take the van."

"Well I'm out, I got something else to do." Roberto said.

"Yeah what, trying to use Jamie to pick up girls again." Ray looked at him. Roberto scratched the back of his head. "Uh....no." Mostly everyone just shook his head.

"Where is Jamie, I haven't seen him." Amara said looking around realizing he wasn't there.

"Oh he's with Forge and Beast." Vincent told them. "They got this suit they're trying to make for him, that will help him with his powers. They're just getting measurements right now for the prototype."

"Really?" Amara asked pleased at the news. "Good for him, at least now he'll be able to walk in crowded areas now without worrying about adding to it, with his duplicates."

"So who else is in?" Amanda asked. "Vell I am of course." Kurt said. Rogue and Vincent shared another look. Every time Kurt went with them they were a little self-conscious since Rogue and Kurt were siblings.

"Well I'm in too." Pam said, then looking at the others. "What about the rest of you?"

"I'm in." Ray said. Tabitha and Sam shared a look. "If you guys don't mind, me and Sam wanted a little....alone time." Tabitha said for the both of them.

"Well I got nothing better to do, so why not. You in Blink?" Amara asked her. Blink wasn't sure, she wasn't used to being asked to join others. "Come and join us, you got anything better to do?" Pam asked her. Blink took a minute and shook her head. "No I don't...so...sure."

"Great. Come on Amy you better come too or you'll get left out." Pam said to her best friend. Amy nodded her head, she really didn't liked being left out or being left behind, and was glad to be included.

"So let's go." Pam said bolting up. "Hold on some of us need to get a few things." Amanda said. "Like what?" Pam asked.

"Holovatches for one." Kurt said.

"I need to get a new T-shirt on." Vincent said.

"And I-"Amara was going to say something, but Pam cut her off. "Okay-okay I get it, let's just meet at the garage then."

They all agreed to it, and went off on their separate ways to fetch whatever it was they needed.

Blink made a portal to her room to get her holowatch quickly. She just as quickly 'portaled' as she was beginning to call what she did, since it was more accurate than saying teleporting.

Pam and Amy were shocked at first at the sight of the black portal and then Blink jumping out of it. "Oops, sorry about that."

"So that's your power? Cool." Pam said.

Blink blushed a little at the comment. "Well...I can also make these energy lances that can either teleport objects or people, or destroy objects at a molecular level."

"Sweet." Pam said. "I'm just glade you guys are freaked out by my appearance." Blink said to them a little nervous.

"Oh don't worry about that, after being around Kurt and Mr. McCoy for about a month, we've gotten over that kind of thing." Pam assured her.

"Besides, I uh...kind of like those marks on your face, they look nice." Amy said honestly.

"Really?" Blink said astonished as she held up a hand to her face. "Th- thanks, you're the first person to say so."

Little did they know that they were being watched by the window by Xavier and Ororo. "It's nice to see Clarice opening up a little to the others." Charles said to her. Ororo nodded her head. "Yes it is."

Xavier rolled over to his desk and took out some papers. Ororo looked at them, she had seen those before. "So they came." She said looking at the papers.

Xavier looked up at her. "Yes, since her parents have abandoned her, the girl needs a guardian. So I've got the papers for her to sign."

Ororo looked once more at the girl out the window, then back to Charles. "Charles...I want to ask you something."
