A/N: Sorry it took so long. It's short because I'm moving back to my dorm room tomorrow. Read and Review.
The blaring of the alarm clock awoke Victoria from her sleep. "What time was it," she thought to herself looking over to the alarm clock. The flashing numbers indicated it was 7:00 am. "Time to get up," she told herself out loud. She grabbed her robe and headed for the shower.
"Where are you going, the classrooms this way," called out Scott.
"I know," Jean answered, "I need to talk to the professor."
"Okay, then I guess I'll see you later," Scott said.
Victoria looked at the outfit she was wearing. She couldn't decide if she liked the pink skirt she was wearing. It looked nice with the white blouse, but it was a perfect day for her yellow sundress. Just then she heard a knock on her door.
"Who is it?" Victoria asked.
"It's Storm."
"Oh come in," Victoria called out.
Storm walked in the door. "The Professor wants to see you."
"Okay," Victoria answered mentally deciding to stick with the pink skirt. She grabbed her briefcase unaware that it was open. All the contents in her briefcase poured out.
"Oh let me help you," said Storm kneeling down to collect the fallen materials.
"Thank you," Victoria laughed, "I'm so clumsy sometimes."
Storm helped Victoria pick up her papers and personal items. She spotted a sketchbook and began flipping through the pages. "Wow, Did you draw these?" asked Storm.
Victoria looked over to Storm. "Oh that, it's nothing," Victoria said quickly grabbing the book.
"Why Jean what a pleasant surprise, is something the matter?" Professor Xavier asked.
"No, I just wanted to continue our conversation from yesterday," answered Jean.
"Very well," Professor Xavier said motioning her to sit down.
Jean sat in one of the available chairs stationed in front of the Professor's desk. "Professor you mentioned that something happened to Victoria"
"Yes I remember saying that"
"Well, What happened?"
"Victoria's mother and I have been friends for many years, ever since she found out that Victoria was a mutant."
"But Victoria never attended this school"
"That's correct. Her father wouldn't allow it. He wanted Victoria to be what he called normal, but her mother knew she needed help with her powers. I agreed to train Victoria; so every weekend when her father was away I trained her to control her powers."
"Professor that still doesn't explain what happened to Victoria."
"I'm getting there, but another time Victoria and Storm are coming." As the words came out of the Professor's mouth there was a knock on his door.
"Come in," the Professor called out.
The door opened to reveal Storm and Victoria. "Jean what are you doing here," asked Storm.
"Just talking to the Professor, but I'm leaving now," said Jean getting up.
"I'll go with you," said Storm.
"Good morning Victoria," Jean said.
"Good morning Jean," said Victoria with her usual smile.
Storm and Jean walked out closing the door behind them. The Professor motioned Victoria to sit down. "Now Victoria, your mother has told me that you are a artist."
"I use to be an artist."
Professor Xavier chuckled, "There is no use to. Either you are or your not."
"Well I don't enjoy art anymore."
"Ever since the accident your mother has told me."
Victoria became silent. It was true she had stopped drawing ever since the accident.
"I want you to teach an art class here, I think it would be good for you and the students will enjoy it."
"But, I, uh," Victoria stammered, "Okay."
"Very good. You will start tomorrow."
Suddenly, Victoria sensed that somebody was in the room. "Somebody's here."
