Dear Diary,
Well, it's been almost four years since the fateful day when Sabretooth threw me over his shoulder and Magneto turned me into the most powerful mutant on the planet. A lot has happened since then.
Graydon's speech of that night of the summit was given a standing ovation from the world leaders. It was a big hit with his mother and father too. They were pleased and proud. The students were kind of startled by the fact that they actually like a speech. It had been taped for posterity.
Erick went thru 9 months of therapy and I was delighted to give him pack his powers. Now he teaches here at the school like he did before. He seems to be happier now. And though he and Wanda aren't on the best of terms, she doesn't seem to be as angry at him anymore. Pietro is still trying to get the attention of some of the girls at school, but he only seems to get a smack on the back of his head for his troubles.
Fred is dating a feisty gal named Tabitha. She is able to make energy balls with no trouble at all, but she seems to like getting into trouble and Fred helps her out of them, he's being very patient.
Lance is vying for Kitty's attention, but so is Peter. I wish she would make up her mind about which one she wants.
Rogue and Remy are practically joined at the hip; it will take surgery to separate them. Rogue has decided after college they would get married. It helped her make up her mind when she found she could control her power.
Bobby and Jubilee are an item that can't be beat. It got to be kind of strange here when his little brother showed up with a strong mutation. Bobby's ice … Ronny's fire.
James and Ororo got married at the same time Vic and I did and Jean and Scott, Raven and Stan. We decided to hold all the weddings at once. It was an eye spinning time!! We went on our honeymoons together in touring buses and made a caravan out of it, and travel just about all over the country having a great time. We got to know each other rather well.
Victor and I adopted a little girl who had lost her parents to a mutant hating mob, she has a great way with plants, and when she's older she'll probably bring back the rainforests.
Her name is Tina and she just wraps Victor around her little finger. She has a little brother now, his name is Max and he looks just like his daddy. Max is such a mellow little guy, and so well behaved that Victor is sure that something is terrible wrong with him. I assure him, Max is just fine.
Ororo and James had a little girl that they named Holly after Stan's little girl. You want to talk about energy? Well, she's what energy should be.
Scot and Jean have been putting off having any children, but I believe it won't be long before they do.
The Mutant Registration Act…bit the big one. It seems that when Senator Kelly was on the floor hawking the Act claiming mutants were so dangerous and all, it didn't seem to carry as much weight coming from him while; during his speech a sheriff from Alaska came in and arrested him in front of the assembly for murder. Another group wanted to arrest him for bribery and conspiracy with big companies to pass the Act so they could profit from the capture and buying, selling of said mutants. Most of Kelly's cronies were fighting for their careers and freedom when it was found out that they too had already accepted large amounts of money if they passed the Act. Now those who even thought to support the Act… run and hide for cover when it is even mentioned. Kelly was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, which suits me just fine.
Although the die hard mutant haters still makes it harder for mutants it's not really as bad as it was anymore. The government has asked Professor Xavier to head up the committee to fund and establish schools for the growing mutant population all over the country. He and Erick have work tirelessly to format plans for the schools and programs. Many of the countries are showing interests in the programs and schools as well. There is great pains to see that none of them are being used for …dare I say it…evil purposes.
I've learned to turn off my forecasting powers, but I usually look at least once or twice a day for the big stuff. I'm not expecting anything big for awhile, but it's coming soon, and when it does….I'll be ready.
Well, it getting late and Vic is still reading to Max and Tina, they just love to listen to him read to them. I think it's the Jungle Book by his old friend Rudyard Kipling. He does a great Shere Khan.
