"I wonder how they'll do with this assignment..." Professor Xavier said to his mystery guest after the "family units" had all went to the suites.
"-I- wonder if they'll catch on as to why you're doing this..." the mystery woman said.
"I certainly hope not. I don't know what they would do to us if they did."
"Us?" the mystery woman asked. "I think you mean you. I will be long gone the moment I get even the slightest clue that they might be going to hurt me."
"I'm sure you would be, Irene..."

"Wow, these rooms are even bigger then our other rooms..." Jean said in awe as the three inspected their apartment.
"I've never seen such a big room in my entire life!" Alley stated.
"But they're empty." Scott added.
"Well..." Jean started. "I suppose we can bring our stuff up here and go shopping for stuff for her."
"Really?!" Alley shouted. "Are you serious, Jean?! We can go shopping for me? I've never been shopping for me!"
Jean and Scott shared a look of mixed surprise and sadness for the girl. Alley, oblivious to anything but the shopping trip ahead of her, continued to bounce around the room happily.

Ororo/Logan
-
"So..." Logan started. "What do you think we should do now?"
"Well, I suppose we should go to the store first." Ororo answered. "Would you like to go to the store, Anna?" She asked the child. The girl nodded.
"Alright then. Let's go." Logan picked up the kid and turned off the light as the three left.

"Umm..." Bobby stared at the little boy who was running around on the walls, literally. "Anti-gravity... That's a weird power..." he muttered to himself.
"Hey, don't do that!" Jubilee yelled. The boy just kept playing around. "Stop it! You're gonna hurt something!" She tried to control him, but kept failing. She glared at Bobby. "You –could- help, you know..."
"What can I do? Do you think if I just say 'Hey! Cut it out!' he'll-" Bobby stopped in mid-sentence when Michael dropped to the floor, looking scared to death at his "command". "Hey, what's wrong, buddy?" Bobby asked, going closer to the child.
Michael started crying and ran behind Jubilee.
"What did you do?" Jubilee asked.
"I didn't do anything! That's the first I've spoken to him since we got him!" Bobby said, honestly.
"Keep him away, Mom. Please don't let him hurt me..." the boy said, still shaking with fear.
Jubilee and Bobby stared at each other, a look of realization on both their faces. Jubilee was the first to recover. "Bobby won't hurt you, Michael. I promise."
"Yeah, little guy. I'd never hurt anyone unless I was protecting myself or someone I care about." Bobby added.
Michael still looked a little reluctant to go anywhere near Bobby.
"Look, I'm not going to hurt you, but if you're not comfortable around me, I'm not going to force you. You can talk to me whenever you're more relaxed with the thought." Bobby said.
The kid nodded his head, biting his bottom lip.
Jubilee pulled something out of her bag. "Hey, Michael! I have something for you."
She handed him the object.
"Rubber ball!" he shouted, going back to running on the walls, this time accompanied by his new toy.
"Poor thing..." Jubilee whispered to Bobby.
He shook his head. "I know... What kind of a monster would want to hurt their own child..."
"Do you think he'll be okay here with all the guys in this house?" Jubilee asked.
"I hope so..."

"So... What do we do with it?" Wanda asked, looking at the two-year-old.
"Yo, she's not an 'it', Baby-cakes. She's a little kid." Todd answered, still carrying Anya.
"What do we do with it?" Wanda asked once more.
"We take care of –her-." He answered. "First we'll hafta go buy a BUNCH of baby stuff, like a bed and toys and food and those little cups that don't spill..."
"Alright." Wanda sighed. "Lead the way..."

Pryde/Wagner

"Do you know what this means, Fuzzy?" Kitty asked. He shook his head. "Shopping!"
Kitty + Shopping... Enough said.

Maximoff/Smith

"So... You're a four-year old, huh?" Tabby asked. "That must be fascinating..."
Pietro looked at Tabby in mild disbelief. He'd seen her do some weird things, but that was pretty random.
"Fass-a-what?" Zachary asked.
"Interesting." She explained.
He shook his head. "Not really."
"Well, that's too bad. Being 16 is VERY interesting." She replied. Then she looked like she got an idea.
"What is it?" Pietro asked.
"We can go to Toys'R'Us!" She answered, grabbing both boys by the wrists and pulling them out the door.

Rogue/Remy
-
"So, what now?" Rogue asked.
Gambit pulled a doll and a car out of his jacket and handed them to the kids.
Rogue looked at him funny.
"What? Gambit is always prepared." He answered.
"Yer a weirdo, Swamp Rat." Rogue stated.

Braddock/Worthington

"So, Kimberly, what do you want to do first?" Betsy asked, her British accent sounding funny to the 6-year-old.
"Um... I want to eat lunch." The blonde-haired girl answered.
"Me, too!" Warren agreed. "I'm famished."
"Well, then, I suppose we should go find a restraunt. How about that one we went to last Friday, love?" Betsy asked Angel.
"Monte's?" Warren thought about it. "Okay. Let's go."

Sinclair/Madrox

"Rahne, I'm bored." Jamie whined.
"Too bad." She answered. "We have to take care o' the pup."
"Well, we could take care of him somewhere else, too!" Jamie argued.
"I wanna do something fun, Mommy!" Kyle agreed. "I can use the big boy potty so can we go somewhere fun?"
Rahne laughed lightly, shaking her head.
"I can use the big boy potty, too, Rahne," Jamie said, trying to make her laugh and give in.
It worked. "Fine. We c'n go to the theater." She sighed.

Crisp/Aquilla
-
"Okay, so I think we need to move our things up here..." Ray said. "And he's gonna need some stuff... And this little living room here is gonna need some stuff besides this couch..." he motioned to the small room that connected the three bed-rooms.
"So how do we go about getting that stuff?" Amara asked, having never shopped for furniture in America before.
"Well, we can go look in the phone book for a furniture store and go there, I guess." He replied.
"Do we take him?" she wondered.
"I guess we have to..." Ray answered.
She nodded. "Come on, Jordan. We're going to the store."
"Yeay!" he cheered, grabbing both of their hands.

Okay, so... Do you like it? I want to continue, but if no one likes it....
