Author's note: So, I'm sitting in a Keyboarding class right now. I finished early, so I figured that I'd update. Oh, I'm thinking about re-introducing the Registration Act. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

The Ford Taurus pulled up to the huge mansion. The gate open, and Shannon drove forward. She parked in an open space outside the garage, and got out. She opened the door to the back seat and unfastened Griffon's car seat belt. "You think we can do this?" She asked him, knowing that she wouldn't get an answer. She pulled him out and walked to the front door. She knocked, and momentarily, Scott came to the door.
"Welcome to Mutant High." He said. He moved aside and Shannon entered. "Hay Griffon." Scott said, pushing the boy's blonde hair out of his eyes. Griffon let go of his mother long enough to reach out to Scott.
And try to pull off his sunglasses. Shannon quickly pulled him away. "No, Sweetie. Daddy's glasses always stay on." Griffon looked confused for a moment, then went back to looking around at his strange surroundings. The professor rolled in.
"Ms. Hayden. It's good to see you again."
"It's nice to see you again, too, professor. And, please, call me Shannon." Xavior smiled.
"Let's begin the tour, shall we?"

"And this is where you two'll be sleeping." The professor told him. The tour had started out on an… interesting note. She and Griffon had practically been mobbed by tons of teenage girls asking, "is that the kid?" and "is that really Scott's son?" and saying "oh, he's sooo cute!" But, now they were finished and some of the kids (well, some of the boys) plus Scott and Logan had begun moving her things up stairs.
When they opened the door, Griffon's crib had already been set up, and Shannon's bed had already been made with her soft sheets.
"When did this…" Scott came around the corner.
"This is what we were doing when the professor was showing you around." He told her. She smiled. Griffon was asleep, and Shannon's left side was falling asleep. "He's out already?" Scott asked. Shannon laughed quietly. "He was out by the time we hit the kitchen." It had grown dark outside, and Shannon was ready to collapse on her new –and what looked really comfy- bed. Before she went into her room, the professor said, "It will be wonderful to have another teacher with telekinetic powers."
"Telekinetic?" Scott asked. Shannon nodded.
"I can also levitate and blow things up." She explained.
"Your classes start on Monday, and breakfast is served until 10:30 tomorrow morning. Sleep well." And the professor rolled off.
"If you need anything, my room is right next door." Scott said. He kissed Griffon on the crown of his head, and went into his room. Shannon then went into her room, shutting the door behind her.
