04 - Jedda

"Hey Sugah have a good time?" Rogue asked as Storm and Crystal walked in laden with bags.

"Yeah it was great fun I can't wait to show you the stuff I bought." Crystal replied

"I never knew that you could buy so much for so little." Storm said to Rogue as she staggered past to take the stuff up in Crystals room, "She's a real bargain hunter."

"Maybe she'll come shoppin' with me some time then." Rogue winked at Crystal before walking off to her room.

"Come on then Crystal let's get this stuff upstairs, though how I'm going to manage it I don't know." Storm said "Hey Logan, come help us over here."

The man who was walking past stopped and turned around. He was quite short and had really weird hair in Crystal's opinion. It was spiked up into two points a bit like bulls horns. He took one glance at the bags and made up some excuse about being needed in the garage before hurrying off.

"Men. Never do anything if they can help it." Storm said turning back round to face Crystal.

"Hey Storm what sent Logan packing?" A voice came from behind Storm's back. It was obviously English like Crystal's.

"Blaze! Great, I need a hand with these bags." Storm said.

"Whoa! Someone's been on a shopping spree. I didn't think you had it in you Storm." Blaze said coming into Crystal's view. She had long, curly ginger hair and beautiful brown eyes. She held her short, slender figure up with a kind of elegance Crystal rarely saw. She knew she would like this Blaze.

"There not mine, well a couple are, most of them are Crystal's." Storm replied indicating the girl.

"Right of course. Come on then Storm let's get this stuff upstairs." Blaze laughed disbelieving. In truth about a quarter of the bags were Storms and considering there were at least thirty...

It took ages for the girl and two women to sort through all the stuff. Blaze was astounded they had spent so little on things she would pay hundreds of dollars on. By the end of it she was certain that Crystal's mutant power was finding bargains. Crystal was rolling with laughter at Blaze's face as she worked out how much of the allowance they had actually spent. It turned out to be less than half of it. Blaze even admitted to have paid up to triple the price of some of Storm's stuff for basically the same things.

When at last they had finished Storm left to put her stuff away and Blaze wandered off to watch her friend Gambit play basketball and Crystal was left on her own. She amused herself at first with trying on different outfits with different accessories. But she soon decided it spoilt the fun of deciding what to wear in a morning so stopped. As she sat wondering what to do next she heard a noise outside the window. She went over to look but she couldn't see anything.

Creak.

Someone was behind her. Crystal spun round to come face to face with an angry faced girl. Her red hair hung limply round her face and her blue-green eyes looked as though they were going to pop out of her face. The clothes she wore were so filthy Crystal couldn't make out what colour they were. The stranger was almost double her size and looked very capable of ripping Crystal to pieces.

"Comfortable are we? Enjoying the view? Enjoying my stuff? Are we then? Well?" She said her face creased with fury. Crystal guessed this must be Jedda. But how she got in Crystal didn't know.

"How did you get in? And what do you mean your stuff? I bought all this today with Storm." Crystal replied timidly, she wasn't a coward but she wasn't exactly brave when it came to fighting people twice her size.

"Liar! This was all here I left it to go back home and visit my folks, and when I get back someone's in my room wearing my stuff and claiming she's innocent of theft!" Jedda shouted, "I want you out..." The Professor cut her short

#Jedda calm down please and don't kill my student. Both of you come to my office immediately. Storm is waiting outside to escort you#
