(An: Sorry I was lazy... but then even now I'm -still- faster than Di.. speaking of Di I command all you nutty FFN-ers to go look her up under EE Diamond.. you're a copycat mate! Kidding... don't flick me.. or whatever it is that's your equivalent of poking me.)

Kel wasn't sure as to her sanity right now. She had gone along with this, WILLINGLY!

"But-"

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" screamed Rogue. There was a rather nasty crunching sound as Remy hit the wall.. hard.

"I t'ing she broke by dose," said Remy, blinking dazedly, his accent weirder than ever.

"Mithros, give me strength," Kel muttered. Her jaw drapped as Alianne came walking in. "And any other gods that might be listening as well, PLEASE."

"Hi, Kel," said Aly, smiling.

Kel groaned and flopped onto the floor.

"Is she all right?" Aly murmered to Neal.

Neal looked her over, looking as though he was trying not to laugh. "She's been doing that all night," Neal informed her with a sage nod.

Aly surveyed the room, hands on her hips. "Not a very promising bunch, are they?" she asked no one in particular.

"Are they new friends?" asked Nawat, strolling in, gazing at the X-men, fascinated.

"Maybe," said Aly.

"By dose!" yelled Remy again as someone nudged him from where he was lying prostrate on the floor.

"Should you investigate that?" asked Aly to Neal.

"It's more fun watching, don't you think?"

"Aren't you supposed to be a healer?"

"It's still more fun watching."

Aly shook her head and approached the ones sitting in the corner. Namely, Sam, Rahne, and Ray, all blinking and looking rather out of it. "Hello," said Aly. She sat down on the floor in front of them, cross-legged. "I'm Alianne."

The three mutants didn't answer. They just blinked and looked rather dazed.

"This is going to be harder than I thought..."

Neal tapped her shoulder. "Perhaps you should try with the lucid ones first," he suggested.

Aly stuck her tongue out at him and stood up. "All right, I will," she said. "IF you go fix him." She pointed at Remy, who was gazing up at the ceiling, his eyes glazed and his nose visibly throbbing.

"Oh all right," said Neal and walked over to him.

Aly turned to someone who seemed a bit more approachable, Kitty. She was happily chatting with Kurt. "Oh, like, hi," she said, looking up when Aly approached.

"My name's Alianne," said Aly, joining them.

"I'm Kitty and this is Kurt," said Kitty, smiling.

"Hi!" said Kurt.

Aly and Kitty got on pretty well. Vapid teenagers were vapid teenagers no matter what time period or dimension you lived in.

Kel, having regained what was left of her composure, walked over to Rogue, who was trying to avoid the ever-hapless Remy, who now could breath through his nose again. "Hello," she said cautiously.

Rogue gave Remy a good hard shove. On the smooth floor he skidded off, bumping like a pinball on the other people. "Oh. Hi. Your name's Keladry right?"

"My friends call me Kel," she offered, trying to get on good terms on the girl who seemed to boss the others around.

"Ah'm just Rogue," replied the other girl with a shrug.

"So why won't he-" Kel pointed at Remy, "-leave you alone?"

Rogue rolled her eyes. "No clue. Now, if yah'll excuse me, Ah have ta go kill him."

"You two seem to be getting on well," said Neal. "Same personality and all that."

"Oh, go soak your head," muttered Kel. "Why am I suddenly wishing for a Scanran attack?"

"Because we haven't had a properly jolly fight in weeks?" interjected Owen.

(Ok, I'll admit that wasn't all that long for myself either but I've been -busy- since I got this laptop back... and now it's Di's turn to set the pace.)
