Yay! Thank you, crazycatluver...You're cool!

"So?" I demanded.

"I told him. And this is what he said to me. He said that I'm obviously way too strong to be in public, and I may be a danger to myself and others. I now have to live in the old Danger Room, which no one uses anymore, and when I'm not being tuitored by him, I'm being trained...by you..." He said all of this very fast.

"Me? Why me?" I asked, now being used to taking all of this information in.

"Because you're the only person I will actually talk to in here, and Xavier says that you have the most powerful mind under my control, besides the Staff," He hesitently stated.

"That's...not possible. You DID control my mind. This isnt making any sence," I clutched my head becuase I was starting to get dizzy.

"Look...obviously Xavier has something planned. He says you and I are going to become close very fast, whatever that means. He says we should try to hang out as much as possible," He looked at the ground.

Grandpa was definatly up to something. But I didnt want to danger anyone else.

We told the rest of the kids that Dameon was going to live in an Orphanage, because his powers werent strong enough to consider him a mutant, but he would still be welcome to come and visit. No one suspected that he lived in the old Danger Room, which no one knew about except the Staff, even I never knew about it.

Xavier was his tuitor, and taught him everything he would have learned in the classes altogether. I felt kind of bad for him that he had to be isolated from everyone just because his powers were a bit risky. But he still had me. And like Grandpa said, we hung out with each other alot. And it wasnt because we were following his orders, its because Dameon was my true friend. Everyone else, besides those blessed kids, were no one's that cared nothing of me.

A month had passed since Dameon fell at our door step. All the other kids had practically forgotten about him. No one saw how he and I walked around the neighborhood, or how Logan would take us to Manhatten once in a while. We were best friends. Again, I felt bad that he was only to spend time with me, but he insisted that he liked it this way, and that all the others were fakes that he didnt wish to know.

I noticed that the more I spent time with him, the less mind control he was able to have over me. Grandpa had been running tests on us, though he wouldnt say what those tests were about. But he forced Dameon to take mind control over me, and each time he tried, it would become easier for me to snap out of it every time. And Grandpa would always have a smirk that said, "This is working." What was working, I had no idea.

Summer was finally here. The kids whose parents didnt hate them returned home for break, while most stayed here to enjoy their loveless lives as hated mutants. A while back, Junior X-Men started a fad to save up money for the whole year and then go on vacation. I had been saving money, and Dameon had some to start, so with Logan as our chaporone, Grandpa insisted that we head off to Niagra Falls for a while.

Our first day there, we only admired the Falls from afar. We planned to step closer as well as go to the meusem and watch the movies, but we would save the best for last. We rented three rooms, one for each of us, and Logan insisted that his room be in the middle. As night fell, Logan went to his room, and we announced that we were going for a walk. With a groan, he shoed us away.

Dameon and I went down the hill, to the walkway where we would be able to see the Falls. They had lights behind them to radiat numerous pretty colors. The Vamp and the Water Freak started to walk down the walkway, side by side, talking to each other, like we got so used to doing by now. I still hadnt understood, even up to this point, why I was the one to befriend this weird mutant of mine.

I was walking closest to the railing that seperated me from falling into the shores of Niagra. Dameon looked at me for the first time as we were walking, because he liked to look down at the ground, as I did.

"Hey, Mist...you look really pretty, with all those lights shining on you," He said.I, of course, blushed. He sighed. "Kathy...my sweet, beautiful waterfall. You dont get it, do you?" I looked up and my blush was replaced by confussed redness. I felt his cold, yet soft hand find mine and hold onto it. "I like you alot, Kathy. You're the most beautiful creature I've ever set my eyes on. I dont want to hurt you, that's why I dont want to take our relationship any further. But I'm so glad that I have you by my side. And, be you my girlfriend or just a simple school mate, I'll never let you go."

His eyes dived into my soul.His dark eyes overlooked my blue ones, and I just starred at him again. Only this time, I didnt have to memorize his facial features. I knew exactly what he looked like. I simply touched my hand to his cheek and smiled at him, with slight pain in my face. "I dont know what to do, Dae...but something amazing will happen in due time." That was all I could say! I loved this guy, but did I love him as only a friend, or perhaps more than that?

We didnt know what to do next. So, while he was still holding onto my hand, we both looked up at the stars. We sat down against the railing and just starred into the black sky. We were both thinking deeply. I guess we really did need this vacation, to get away from stress to finally connect like we were suppose to.But as we interlocked fingers, and looked around the beautiful surrounding, we reliezed this was as close as we wanted...or COULD get. Perhaps Grandpa had something up his sleeve to help us become close like we really wanted to...

The rest of the vacation was spent trying not to create too much drama. We really needed this vacation to have amazing talks from the earshot of stupidity, but also to enjoy Niagra Falls!

As our vacation finally ended, even Logan seemed happier to have finally clearned the Mansion from his mind without something troubling him.

When we finally returned to the school, with about a month left of vacation, Grandpa was the first to greet us.

"Hello, Katherine and Dameon! And Logan...I hope you all had a splended time. While you were gone, I was able to catch up on my reading on stome delightful fictional books, and Storm even taught me how to cook seasoned roast beef!" He exclaimed. With this excited voice, I knew his trick was about to be compleated, though we still had no clue what he wanted from us.

Suddenly, the poem I wrote not too long ago, was no where near relating to me...
