Kitty and Rogue made their way to their room guiding Alta who was walking between them using them as help to stay up.
The new girl seemed to be fascinated by everything in the mansion. She had told Rogue and Kitty about how different everything seemed now. "Why had it change so much?" Alta asked Rogue and Kitty as the three girls made their way up the stairs.
"Well," Kitty started unsure. "This place is always changing. New people come and we have to make it okay for them. We're all a big family here."
Alta nodded with a look of sorrow painted across her face. "We weren't family when I little."
Rogue looked down at her. "Why not?" she asked curiously her eyes opened wide with interest and pity.
Alta paused looking up into Rogue's brown eyes, wishing she could fill them with the response Rogue hoped to receive. "We didn't get along."

In Rogue & Kitty's room
"Hey Jube." Kitty greeted her friend as she came into the room. "Alta this is Jubilee. Jubilee, Alta."
"Hello." Jubilee the newcomer. "I'm just doing my biology homework, "The Lab Report"" she said imitating her biology teacher. The four girls laughed. "I'm not here." The young Asian girl said as she returned to her work.
Rogue glanced at Kitty and by the look on her face they were thinking the same thing. "Would you mind helping us with a little something." Rogue asked. Jubilee smiled and left her homework on the desk.
"So," Jubilee said looking at Alta. "I think we'll take some of your old clothes Kitty, cause you're the smallest." Alta looked around confused. It wasn't that she couldn't understand the English that they were speaking, but they spoke too fast for her to catch the words. "Then we'll sew down to the right size and... Tada! She'll look gorgeous."
The three girls began by taking and old pair of Kitty's flared jeans and cutting the bottom so she wouldn't trip of the leg. Then with Jubilee's sewing machine, they made the waist small enough so it wouldn't fall off. Then the shirt...
"Let's use this one, it's the smallest one." Kitty said.
Rogue laughed a little. "That's my shirt."
"Not any more!" Jubilee said as Kitty tossed her the shirt. "Here Alta, try it on." Alta slipped the shirt over her head and adjusted it so the front wasn't in the back.
"It fits." She said proudly. Standing up, she turned around as the other girls instructed to show them her new outfit.
"Beautiful." Rogue in agreement to her two friends. "Now for your hair." She said eyeing up her long brown hair.
"You won't cut it?" she asked fearfully. Rogue looked at Alta sympathetically for a moment then turned to get a brush.
"Of course not, we'll just brush it out and maybe put it up. No cutting." She assured her and Kitty and her got to work brushing Alta's hair while Jubilee continued her work.
Alta looked around the room and saw several posters of guys and groups she had never heard of. "Are you mutants too?" she asked.
The two girls stopped brushing Alta's hair. Surprised, they exchanged glances before talking. "Yeah we both are." Kitty answered. "I can walk through walls and Rogue can take away people's powers and energy." Alta nodded trying to take it all in.
"And I," Jubilee said from the corner. "Can create fireworks." She said sending a flick of fire into the air, causing a small firework.
(A/N: Is that Jubilee's power? I'm not sure.)
"Not in the mansion." Kitty told her friend. Turning her attention back to Alta she asked, "what's your power?"
Alta shrugged. "I'm kind of like fish, I breathe underwater and other fishy things." She said staring at an old movie poster. "What does that say?" she asked pointing to the poster.
"Top-gun." Rogue replied. "The hit movie of 1986."
Alta smiled as a memory came back to her. "I saw that, with a guy, Scott. We went with Maxwell and other kids, older than us. It scared me. Scott sit with me. First only time I kiss him."
Jubilee looked back at them. "By any chance would that be Maxwell Connors, the old janitor?" Alta nodded her head and Jubilee continued her questions. "And was that by any chance Scott Summers?"
"I don't know." Alta spit back. "How I remember that?" Rogue set her hand on Alta's shoulder she could only imagine how hard it must be for her.
"What did he look like, Alta?" Rogue asked softly.
Alta closed her eyes and thought back. She could see herself playing with him on the couch. 'Hit me.' He would say and the small brunette hit him on the shoulder and they both laughed. "I remember we play together. Cards. We try to play black jack but all we know is 'hit me'. One time, I hit him and his glasses fall off and he burned a hole in sofa. Bald man get angry, he yell at us. We laugh."
"But what does Scott looked like?" Rogue asked again.
"He has red glasses and long brown hair to his ears. He always wear blue button shirt and... he always smile at me." Alta leaned back onto Rogue.
"Kitty," Rogue said excitedly. "Get those old yearbooks we found in that box." Kitty brought over the heavy box and dumped it out.
"Here it is 1986." (A/N: I doubt Xavier's school would have yearbooks but I need them for this to work)
Quickly, Kitty flipped through the pages with Jubilee resting her arms on Kitty's shoulder. "I'm done." She assured them as Kitty found the page.
"Alta, is this Scott?" She said pointing to the child Scott Summers.
Alta face transformed into a huge smile. "That Scott. Is he here?" she asked excitedly. The three girls looked around at each other. 'Don't tell her.' Jubilee mouthed to her friends. She didn't want to hurt Alta by telling her Scott was engaged.
"Yeah he's here." Rogue said smiling.
The four girls sat in the room until they heard a knocking at the door. "Who is it?" Kitty asked.
"Open the door it's us." Bobby said as him and John opened the unlocked door. "Who's your friend?" he asked looking at Alta.
"This is Alta." Rogue said before explaining her story to everybody.
"Wow." John said, stunned by the entire story. "Well that's the bell let's go for supper."
He six of them made they're way down the empty halls toward the dining room. "I'm so hungry." Rogue admitted. After walking a bit more, they found the room. "Let's eat!" she said as they all went through the door.
"You're almost late." Storm said looking at the big group. "Sit, we haven't yet begun." Once the others had moved away Alta stood at the end of the table looking at everyone and everything. When Scott came in the room with the plate of gravy, he looked in front of him and dropped the gravy dish.
"Alta?"
