Okay everybody, I'm sorry I didn't update sooner. And for those of you also reading 'Dawning of the Band,' I have the next chapter almost done; I just have to get it typed. It'll be up tomorrow or the next day, I promise!
Since I forgot to do a disclaimer thing in the last chapter, I'll just do it here. I do not even claim to own the original x-men characters in any way shape or form, I wish I did, but I don't, so there's absolutely no use in me lying about it. Any characters that you don't recognize as belonging to Marvel (or 20th Century Fox) are mine. If you wish to use them, ASK ME FIRST!!!! I'll probably be fine with it, but I'd appreciate you asking all the same. Thanks all! Oh, and individual thanks will always be posted at the bottom of the chapter, as will (normally and from now on) my comments.
If I spell anybody's name or anything wrong, don't kill me, just let me know and I'll go back and correct it, as well as making a not of it for future chapters.
Umm... when I switch point of views there'll be a line across the page. I'll try not to do it very often, but sometimes you just need to see what's going on outside of Logan's head, besides, too much time in there could give you a headache (jk!).
The chapter will start.... Now!
Ororo breezed down the hallways of the mansion, calling all of its occupants to breakfast, remembering sadly the times when Jean would've sent a mental call echoing through the minds of students and teachers alike. Shaking her head she swept those thoughts briskly from her mind as she rapped hard upon one of the school's younger occupants. "Bobby – get up now or you'll miss both breakfast and your classes." She pointed out to the door; but to no avail, as the young man made a point of not answering her.
Glaring at the door she called out. "This is your last warning Bobby!" When he still didn't respond she concentrated a bit harder and called a miniature rain-shower into existence right over his bed; giving a self-satisfied grin as she heard a yelp from the other side of the door, protesting her use of ice-cold water. Still laughing she moved on as Bobby exited his room carrying a dripping bundle of sheets and clothing down the stairs and towards the laundry room.
Her laughter died upon her lips as she came to the final room of her rounds. Standing still she pondered upon how to get this final occupant out of his room, then she raised her hand to knock upon the door.
He knew that she was standing there even before she knocked upon his door. He had heard her sending a thunderstorm into Bobby's room as a wake-up call.
Sighing he pulled himself off of the floor and to his feet. Then he walked silently over to the door, yanking it open as she was preparing to knock again. Growling he muttered "What?" in an angry tone. Fortunately, it was a tone that she saw immediately through.
"Good morning Logan. Breakfast is ready downstairs – I believe that Kurt made pancakes, you'll have to hurry if you want any – and you have a class to teach this morning." she informed him cheerfully.
"Class? What class?" he asked, startled.
"You agreed to take over Scott's strength and conditioning classes last night remember? He needed those hours to teach the math classes that Jean taught." a flash of sorrow touched his eyes at her words, but disappeared as quickly as it had come.
"This is a joke right?"
Frowning Ororo responded "No Logan. Teaching young and impressionable minds is never a joking matter. But if you're saying that the fact that you agreed to teach is a joke, well, I believe that the excessive amounts of alcohol that you consumed might have helped that matter along a bit." she admitted. "I'll see you at breakfast Logan. Your first class starts at 10:30 in the weight room." she informed him before she turned and walked away, leaving him gaping after her in shock.
