Shalimar walked into the rec. room with Brennan. She sat on the sofa and Brennan climbed up to sit on her. The others crowded around her.

"Who are you?" Kitty asked her.

"I'm Shalimar."

"But you're big! Shalimar's meant to be small!"

"I know. I grew."

"Will I grow?" she asked hopefully.

"You will, and the rest of you. But not for a while yet."

"Have you met the others yet?"

"Only, Jesse and Brennan. Emma's in her room asleep at the moment."

"I'm Kitty, that's Kurt."

"Gutan tag!"

"And James and Ororo."

"Hello," Ororo smiled.

"So, what have you all been up to?"

"We've been playing."

"Playing what?"

"Playing."

"What?"

"Playing."

"Playing what?"

"A game."

"What game?"

"Just a game."

"What game?"

"A game."

Shalimar turned to James. "What have you all been playing?"

"Tag," he answered quietly.

"Why don't you continue playing and I'll sit here and watch you."

"No," Kitty smiled.

"Why not?"

"Because you have to play too."

"Why?"

"Please," Kitty begged "please play."

"Okay, okay, I'll play."

Before Shalimar could move the children all climbed onto her and she fell sideways, covered in a mass of little bodies and limbs. All of them were laughing. Scott, Jean, Adam and Professor Xavier came in and stood watching them. Shalimar saw them.

"Adam! Help! Please!" she begged.

"Why? They're having fun."

"Please Adam!"

"No. Let them play," Jean smiled.

"Please, I promise to be nice. promise."

"Okay," Adam smiled.

Scott walked over and picked up Ororo and Kurt and Jean grabbed Logan and Kitty. Shalimar sat up and Brennan climbed onto her lap.

Jesse slowly opened the door to Emma's room. He went in and went to close the door but fazed. After a moment his hand became solid and he closed the door. Jesse slowly turned around and looked at the bed. Quietly he made his way over and looked at the person lying in the bed. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the little boy.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"Jesse," he whispered.

"I'm Emma."

"Hello," Jesse climbed onto the bed and laid down next to Emma.

"How old are you Jesse?"

"Six."

Kurt suddenly appeared in the room and looked around. "Gutan Tag," he smiled before running to the door and leaving.

"That's Kurt," Jesse smiled, "he's from Germini."

"Germany."

"That's what I said, Germini."

Emma smiled and gently kissed his head.

"Come on, I'm going to find Adam, you wanna come too?"

Jesse nodded and got up. Emma got up and took his hand and they left the room.

"I thought you said they would never get the cure!"

The other person was silent for a moment. "We weren't expecting the children, themselves, to come."

"And now that they have the cure Adam will surely turn them all back, preventing their demise!"

"I'm sorry, sir."

"And so you should be! Let's just hope that we can find another way to complete our mission."
