Professor Xavier looked out the window of his office/classroom. The trees wavered slightly in the breeze, birds chirped, and butterflies fluttered gently. He turned away from the window and looked back towards his desk. Sitting there was a newspaper; an old newspaper that was dated from a few years before. He wheeled closer to his desk and glanced at the huge, bold headline:

PRESIDENT DECLARES MUTANTS AS FRIENDS

He gently smiled to himself and carefully opened a drawer before folding the newspaper and putting it back into its proper file. There was a knock on his door and he said, "Come in." The door opened and Storm, Cyclops, and Logan entered. Knowing that it was a weekend break for the students, Xavier nodded to the others and they sat down in various seats in the room.

"What can I help you three with?" Professor Xavier said, his fingers intertwined and sitting on his desk. The three glanced at each other before Storm answered,

"We were all coming here by ourselves, and we reached your door at the same time. I wanted to know who was going to be at the wedding besides Rogue, Bobby, Jubilee, Kitty, Kurt, Scott, Logan, and I."

"All the students with good grades and good behavior have been invited to attend Rogue and Bobby's wedding. I invited the Drake family, but only his parents wanted to come, however, they didn't want to leave Ronny, so they've been promised a few pictures. Rogue wished for her family not to be there. The only non-mutant at the wedding should be Father Ramey, and he does not know about us," Professor Xavier said, and he turned his attention to Scott.

"Professor, I just wanted to tell you about Devon Cooper, he's the one that can turn invisible. He was throwing water balloons at the other students again. He should be right behind me," Scott said, not turning around.

Professor Xavier raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this true Devon? I thought we had cleared this up."

"It was all Paul Deeny's fault, I swear, sir. He told me he'd make me a milkshake in the X-Kitchen and he'd give me five dollars if I hit ten students with balloons," a small voice said, appealingly from no where. Professor Xavier waited and a moment later, a red-haired boy of about 8 appeared behind Scott's chair.

"I'll take to Paul Deeny about this, Devon, don't you worry. Scott will make you a milkshake if you promise never to throw water balloons again. Cyclops is very good at chocolate milkshakes, and if you be very nice, he might even give you whipped cream," Professor Xavier said kindly. Devon's face lit up, and Cyclops led him out of the office.

"What do you wish to talk to me about, Logan?"

Wolverine put his elbow on the armrest of his chair and put his chin on his fist. "I wanted to ask if I really needed to wear a tie to the wedding."

Jubilee blared music from her boom box, banging her head and playing an air guitar. Kitty, who always lived in the dorm, looked over the top of her magazine as she lay on her stomach on her bed. Her lower legs, after her knee, were up in the air near the head of her bed. When Jubilee started to jump up and down on the floor near Kitty's bed, the other girl rolled her eyes and dropped her magazine on her bed. She made a small wave to Jubilee, who just answered with a thumbs-up.

Kitty smiled and shook her head before she walked towards the door, and walked through it.

"Spike! How many times I have I told you? No skateboarding in the mansion! You are really getting on the edge here, and if I catch you one more time, it's a one-way ticket back home. Do you understand?"

Unfazed, Spike kicked the skateboard into his hands. "Chill Aunt Ororo, you know I love this place," he said, grinning. He hurried out of the entrance hall and out unto the grounds. Storm rolled her eyes and walked back towards the elevator towards the subbasement, where she planned to talk to Forge who was currently working on Muri Island.

Out on the X-Mansion's grounds, there was plenty of open space and luscious, thick green grass. Often enough, students and other X-Men were out, sitting in the grass. Two recently official X-Men were sitting out in the grass. They were facing each other, smiling and chatting.

"You nervous?"

"Why would ya think that?"

"Because you keep playing with your left strand of blonde hair."

"I am not."

"You're doing it right now."

"Darn you, Bobby, for knowing me so well."

Iceman laughed and smiled at Rogue, who was smiling also.

"Are you nervous?" Rogue asked, lying down in the grass. She looked up at the blue sky as a few white clouds drifted above. Bobby lay down beside her in the grass, but was looking at her instead of the sky.

"A little. More like excited," he answered. Rogue continued to look up at the sky.

"I'm really excited too."

"That's good; I'm glad you're excited."

Rogue turned her head towards Bobby. He smiled at her and she smiled shyly back. His head moved closer, and Rogue could feel her eyes closing. For about 8 seconds, the two of them kissed before Rogue pulled away. She saw her icy breath for a moment before she looked back at Bobby.

"I'm sorry," she started to say.

"Don't be," he said softly, cutting her off. "It's okay."

Wolverine sat on a couch in the empty Rec room, staring at the television that was showing a dumb cartoon. He heard footsteps and he turned around to see who it was. There was a young mutant girl there, about 14. She had a dark auburn hair, and blues eyes were watching him carefully.

"Hello," she said. She had a blank expression on her face as she walked towards one of the empty tables.

"Hi," Logan said, still watching her. "You're new, huh?"

Her head jerked around towards Wolverine. She nodded briskly. "I've met Professor Xavier. He seems very nice. He told me I could take a look around. Who are you?"

Logan turned off the television and lifted up one of his hands from where it rested on the couch. His claws shot out of his hand. His fingers bent, so only the silver-colored strips of metal were showing. The teenager blinked once and slightly cocked her head to the side, but she didn't look afraid.

"I'm Professor Logan. Wolverine," he said, his claws retreating back into his hand. Then she smiled.

"Sam. I'm Sam." She stood up, waved, and walked out of the recreational room. Logan raised his eyebrows before turning on the dumb cartoon again. He thought for a few moments, turned off the television, and hurried down towards Professor Xavier's office.

He threw open the door and blinked to see Scott sitting opposite the Professor. He started to shut the door with a "sorry" when Professor Xavier stopped him. "You can stay, Logan. Scott was just asking me about one of our new students."

"Yeah, just met her. Usually somebody shows the new kids around," Logan said as he sat down in one of the chairs.

"Rogue is with Bobby, Storm is in the subbasement, I just saw Scott just now and I didn't want to bother you. I didn't know if any of the other mutants would be a very good tour guide at this moment, and she seemed to want to explore by herself," Professor Xavier answered.

"She doesn't know which rooms she's supposed to go in or what any of the rooms are," Logan argued. "The other students might give her a hard time."

"I assure you Logan, no harm will come to Ms. Sam," Professor Xavier said calmly. "I believe that Scott was worried as well, and he suggested one of the students to help guide her around."

"Yeah, Logan, I thought Blink would be good," Scott said, turning to look at him.

Logan snorted. "Blink? You mean the hotshot who happens to be one of the few students with average grades?"

Cyclops and Professor Xavier nodded. "Sam happens to be a very smart student, but her file says that she's not as much of a social person as it would seem. Blink is not as smart as the other students at the school but he is a very social person. I think it would be a wise decision to put the two together for the time being, at least until she gets settled in," Charles explained.

However, Wolverine still rolled his eyes and Scott looked back towards Charles Xavier. They watched him silently.

Sam. This is Professor Xavier. It's alright; come to my office as soon as you can.

Sam stopped walking. She looked around the decorated, empty hallway. Most of the students were outside or in their dorms. The message came again and it dawned on her, It's in my head. Slowly, she began walking back towards the direction of Charles' office. When she opened the door, she blinked to see two of the professors that she had met earlier and another mutant, who looked about her age.

She sat down in a chair away from them and said, "What did you need me for?"

The student stood up and walked over to her. He was smiling. He had dark brown hair with a streak of silver running through the middle of it. He was wearing a pair of khaki pants and a jersey. He stuck out his hand, and warily, she reached out to shake it.

"Hi, I'm Cody, but most people call me Blink," he said, still smiling. The smile was contagious, and Sam found herself smiling back.

"My name's Sam. Why do they call you Blink?" she answered, curious. The student grinned and suddenly, he was standing in front of her anymore. She could feel someone standing behind her and she whirled around. He was standing there, and he winked.

"You blink, and I'm gone. Super speed, highly helpful when I was on the track team before I came here," he explained. The two younger students sat back down.

"Cody, Scott, Logan, Sam has the ability to control water. She has told me herself that she can manipulate water around her, but can only create a small of water without unleashing the power that she cannot control. Her parents believe that this a special boarding school, in a way, it is. As long as she stays here, and perhaps, even if she decides to leave, her codename is Aqua," Professor Xavier said, looking to the four mutants in his room. "Cody will be showing you around the mansion, Sam."

"So, you ready to explore?" Blink asked, jumping to his feet. Sam smiled and stood up too. She nodded, and they waved to the professors before they left the office.

"Water control, eh?" Logan said, leaning back in his chair.

"Yes, Logan. It could prove very dangerous if she does not learn to control it better. Her powers may result in flooding. I think that Cody will be a good influence on her; perhaps she'll make new friends today, even."

"I still don't like Blink."
