Sunshine and Kit Kats
"To bad, Sunshine," Sherry whipped around only to have a furry ball of black fur land on top of her, or in a better way to describe it, pounce. Purring noises then erupted from the furry bundles throat. Laughing happily Sherry pulled the bundle closer.
"Kit Kat!" Shadows slowly lifted the purring girl from her body and set her on the bed, holding her so she couldn't do another 'pounce' attack. Standing she looked at the girl now sitting on the bed. The girl was the same height as in the photo's, but a bit skinnier. Her tail twitched happily as she tried to pry the shadows off of her. Her happy green eyes looked at her, and her sharp teeth were shown threw a happy grin. Not a scrap of clothing was on her, but because of her thick fur, nothing showed.
"Cheater!" She called with laughter in her voice as she continued to batter the shadows, apparently lousing. Laughing Sherry dropped the shadows and jumped on Meredith in return.
"Oh where have you been," Sherry cried hugging the girl slightly shorter girl, "I haven't seen you since.." She trailed off suddenly and pulled away. Meredith's happy green eyes were now clouded.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have.."
"It's okay," Meredith said placing a clawed hand on Sherry's shoulder, "I should have told you more when I had left."
"I see that you have met our newest student," Both girls looked over at the now entering Charles Xavier, "Although, it seems you both know each other already." Sherry took a moment to let her brain catch up with her.
"Wait, Student!" she cried and looked back at Meredith. Giving her a happy nod she hugged her again, "Wait, how," she said looking over her friends shoulder.
"We found her lying by the side of the road, but in a most peculiar way," he raised his eyes at Meredith, "Would you care to show her, or shall I tell her?" A large smile crossed over the furry girls face. Pulling away from Sherry she jumped off the bed and landed in the middle of the room into a stance that reminded Sherry of Todd. Blinking she watched as the girls body seemed to begin to twist.
"What the hell?"
"Just watch," said the Professor. The girls body was slowly shrinking. Her fingers pulled into her hands, becoming paws, while her legs shortened and became haunches. Her hair pulled into her neck, leaving a slight main. After a few moments a small black cat sat on it's haunches before them.
Sherry stared at the girl in shock, unable to string a sentence together, "You…I…you weren't.." taking in a deep breath she said, "You weren't able to do that a year ago!"
A laughing like noise left the cats throat as it jumped from it's space on the floor into her lap. Still stunned she began to pet it.
"It seems that Meredith here is able to a couple of things she was un able to do last year," a smile was now on the Professors lips, "She is also now able to elongate her nails and even release them from her body if needed." Sherry just sat in wonder as she pet her friend, and began to pick on something in her fur. Yowling Meredith jumped from her lap and became human once again.
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow!"
"What did I do?" A quick look at a place on her shoulder told her at once. In the excitement of seeing her old friend she had not noticed the bandage on her back. "What happened?" Meredith gave her a sheepish smile and looked to the Professor.
"It seems that on her way here, she had an 'encounter' with an old friend of mine," placing his finger tips together he added, "It seems that she has been looking for this school for quite some time."
Standing the girl gave Sherry another sheepish smile. "I went back to the house last week, but you guys had left," she began to twist her hands about her tail, "I got some information from a few of the people we knew back in Colorado, that we had known when we were little," she looked back up at her. "Your parents were on vacation is what they told me, and then they told me you had come here."
Standing Sherry wrapped her arms around her friend and hugged her tightly. "Well thank God you found me," she then pulled away from her, "Or in this case we found you." Looking at the Professor she added, "And if you tell anyone how much of a softie I was tonight, I swear that you will have nightmares for a week." To prove her point, the shadows in the room began to twist and turn in menacing ways.
"Now I believe that it is time for you to get some sleep," came to professors voice, "Meredith, if you will fallow me I will show you to your room." Turning Meredith looked at Sherry.
"Can I be Sherry's room mate please." The Professor stopped and looked at her, "I can stay in cat form with her tonight, and until you can put a bed in here." With a thoughtful face and smiled.
"Very well then." Turning he exited the room. Sherry looked at Meredith who gave a squeal and put her into another hung.
"This will be just like the mountains," she cried rocking the two of them back and forth, her tail twitching, "Except no mountains and annoying hoarse flies!" Sherry gave her a small smile. The hype was wherein off, and she was becoming her calm self once again. Suddenly a thought snapped into her mind.
"Be right back," getting off the bed she jogged into the hall and caught up with Xavier just as her was about to call the elevator to come and get him.
"Ah Sherry, is there something you need?" He turned around with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, I was wondering if you would tell me about who was chasing Kit Kat?"
"Kit Kat?"
"That's her nick name that we have been using since we were little," she explained, "but please, could you tell me what happened?"
"In the morning," he said with a smile, "You two should get some sleep first."
"But Profess.." her sentence was interrupted by the sound of the alarm going off.
"You may be meeting those people in a few moment," he said and turned to the elevator. Before she could say another word to the closing doors, Kit Kat came shooting out of her room and latched onto Sherry's arm, ears pressed down on her head.
"What's going on?" she cried her tail slashing threw the air.
"It's alright Meredith," she cooed stroking her head, "It's just the.." again her sentence was cut off by a yelling Scott Summers.
"X-Men, suit up!" With that Sherry dragged the girl back into her room and looked threw her wide window down below. The gate had been crashed threw, and three vehicles were now parked in front of the mansion. One separate from the others.
"What the," she looked back to see Kit Kat staring out the window in fear. "Kit Kat, what's wrong?"
"They're the ones who cut my arm," she said pointing a finger at the first two vehicles. One was a motorcycle with a large cat like face in the front, the other a large metal tank like thing. The third was the brotherhoods jeep.
The look of fear on Meredith's face made Sherry's blood grow warm. Rushing to the closet she grabbed a uniform of it's hanger. Pulling on the pure black outfit she fitted on her black boots with silver claps, and matching glovers. A silver belt with an X on it was the last thing on.
"Wait in here," she said and threw open the windows, a platform of shadows was already being made in front of her, "I'm not gonna let these bastards hurt you again." A few protest could be heard from behind her, but by then she had already stepped onto the platform, and was heading towards the vehicles, their passengers already waiting, along with many of the other X-Men.
To Be Continued….
