Anyway On to chapter three, horrid title but it just came to me. It fits and that's all we need.

Chapter 3 - What Dreams May Come?

"I'll walk with you to your room. The mansion gets dark at night, and you don't want to get lost," John said quietly holding the door open. Artemis walked pasted him into the darkened house, the only light john's lone fireball. Artemis called the fire to herself and the light flared up in the hallway.

"Rather handy don't 'cha think?" she said with a grin.

The pair walked side by side through the hallways, and up to the second floor, to her room. Opening the door, Artemis extinguished her fireball and stepped inside her room, when a hand caught her on the shoulder. Turning, she opened her mouth to ask what he wanted when his lips descended on hers. Caught like a deer in headlights her body went stiff, and John wrapped his arms around her, one on her back the other's fingers wove through her long hair, to cup the back of her head. After the chock of the initial contact she felt herself relax in his arms and held onto him, her fingers running thru his hair.

'There isn't just fire in his eyes,' she thought as she felt him deepen the kiss. 'There's fire in his kiss, in everything he does!'

Clinging to him she felt him open his mouth to let his tongue touch hers. Artemis felt a jolt as their tongues touched, and her eyes snapped open. Suddenly the hallway was gone, St. John was gone, and she was lying in her bed, pink blankets in a twist around her.

'Why did I just dream that?' she asked herself putting a hand to her lips. She could still feel the pressure of his lips on hers, his arms holding her, his hands caught in her hair. She shook her head and stood up to stretch as she looked out the window at the near approaching dawn. The sky alight with soft purples and grays as the night descended and gave into the day. With a sigh she sat back down, rubbing her arms slightly, she could not shake the feel of him; it was almost as if they had kissed in real life.

Looking at her alarm clock she shook her head and stood up to make her way to the bathroom to start her day.

'Might as well, I'm up now.'

Lips moving together, bodies held close, hands caressing soft smooth skin, St. John Allerdyce grinned in his sleep as the scene played out in his dream. His lips were connected to the beautiful new brunette, and he opened his mouth to deepen the already deep kiss, but instead of the pleasure of her tongue mating with his, he got a shock that went through his entire body. Jerking awake the dream faded out of his reach and he sat up breathing heavy head in his hands.

'What the hell was that all about?' he asked himself as he flung his blankets off and swung his legs over the side of his bunk. He rubbed his eyes and yawned as the dream flashed back in to his mind in the faint morning light. Crawling down the bunk bed ladder he looked at his roommate Bobby.

'Lucky bastard," he thought as he saw Bobby was still in the pleasures of sleep. Grabbing a pair of jeans he pulled them on over his boxers and made his way to the floors bathroom.

'This better not happen every night, or this could be a long few days. This girl really is not good for me. . '

Artemis met up with Jubilee, Rogue, Bobby and John in the Cafeteria, blushing slightly but trying her hardest to push the dream from her mind, she sat down between Jubilee and Bobby, unfortunately it was right across from John.

"Good morning!" Jubilee greeted as she sat down with her tray of food. The noise in the room wasn't yet loud, most of the students were still trying to wake up, but Jubilee didn't seem to notice and she was speaking rather loudly.

"Jubes, not so loud. Some of us are still half asleep," Rogue complained from across the table.

"Sorry," the Asian girl said sheepishly, sharing a grin with Artemis. "Rogue's not a morning person," she explained in a whisper. Both girls caught the death stare the brunette shot their way and both ignored it giggling.

"So how was your first night?" Jubilee asked as she dug into her breakfast of what looked to be Coco Puffs and chocolate milk.

"It was good, the beds are more comfortable then they first appeared, but the paint still gives me a headache," she added with a grin.

"Did you get an answer on if you can paint the room?" Bobby asked as he ate what looked like scrambled eggs.

"Not yet, I plan to today. Hey remind me in the future to just eat cereal." She said as she poked at what could be a piece of bacon, or a fried piece of bark. Shrugging, she turned her attention to John, "So, do you ever talk?" she asked taking a sip of her orange juice.

John was so startled by the comment, he almost choked on his cereal, but caught himself and swallowed before answering.

"I talk," he answered.

"Ya, only when he thinks the conversation could go better with his two cents," Bobby added with a smirk. Rogue rolled her eyes as John only glared at his friend.

"As I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted I talk, but only when I'm not so tired, or thinking."

Bobby laughed at the comment about thinking, but Artemis could only stare at him and think about the reason she was slightly tired herself, but before she could think of something to say, a bell rang.

"First bell, time for class," Bobby said stuffing the last bit of eggs into his mouth before standing up.

"Thank you oh great one, where would I be without you?" John asked sarcastically as he stood up and grabbed his tray.

Rogue rolled her eyes again and turned to Artemis, "I know the professor will want to talk to you before classes, wanna meet us here for lunch?"

Artemis nodded and walked with them into the hallway.

"Maybe you'll have some of the same classes with us after lunch," Jubilee said shouldering her backpack.

"See you after," Bobby said as the three of them went down the hallway. Artemis looked at the one that was left. John looked like he wanted to say something, and she looked at him expectantly, but he just nodded and turned to follow the three that had walked on ahead of him.

'He's so- so much different then anyone I've ever known,' she thought as she watched him walk down the hall and turn into a classroom.

Shaking her head she continued on her way to Professor X's office.

'Maybe one day I'll understand him,'

Well? Not worth the wait I know, but still it's here, and Chapter four should be up soon, life permitting! Love you guys!
