14 – Sea World
"We can't just leave her though, we have to find her," Sam said while sat in Iona and Vertigo's room, the next morning. Storm, Blaze, Scott, Kitty, Rogue, Bobby, Berserker, Cannonball and Peter had already left to meet up with Vixen, Logan, Nightcrawler and Jubilee.
"But how we don't know where to start for one and two how do we get away from Gambit?" Vertigo replied.
"Especially Sam 'cos she has to look after the kids that are left," Wolfsbane added.
"We could give him the slip," Iona said making the other three girls jump.
"Yeah and how are we going to do that Iona?" Sam asked sceptically.
"We go with him to Sea World then pretend to be getting something for the kids then sneak out and go look for Crystal," Iona replied excitedly.
"And what are we going to do to get away from the park? And what if Gambit comes to find us and catches us?" Vertigo said, "Any plan we make has to be foolproof,"
"I know what if we take the kids that want to on the Kraken and Gambit stays with the others, then when we get off we tell the kids to go back to Gambit while we take Iona to the bathroom to be sick. Then Gambit won't worry about us and we can escape," Wolfsbane said encouragingly.
"But we still have no ride," Iona pointed out.
"Hey Cherie's breakfast is served," Gambit called from outside the door.
"We'll figure it out later come on," Sam said getting to her feet.

Drip, drip, drip.
Not again.
Drip, drip, drip.
How did this happen? Did I lose control again?
Drip, drip, drip.
I don't think so.
Drip, drip, drip.
Well may as well not waste my time here I wonder... The professor said the dripping was my power so I just have to find it to use it.
Drip, drip, drip.
So where is it? Ah here it is. So what do I do know? Do I scoop it up? Do I call it? Nope. Nope. So I get this far and can't even get it to come here.
You can do it.
What was that? A feeling? The professor? No, it was more like someone else's thoughts. Am I becoming telepathic?
No.
OK then. Well I'd best try again. Why won't it come? Please come here?
All you had to do was ask nicely.
Is that me? Or my power?
Both.
Wow. This is amazing. But I'll have to practice.

"Hey Gambit why don't we go to Kraken before the cues get big?" Sam asked as they herded the kids into Sea World later on.
"You'se can but I'm passing on dis one, Cherie," Gambit replied.
"Why don't I take those that want to go on it with me while you wait with the rest?" Sam suggested innocently.
"Sounds good to Gambit," Gambit answered and they headed of to the Rollercoaster.
"Right guys who's coming on here with us?" Sam asked and several hands went up. Not tonnes but enough to cover us she thought. "Just no one be sick OK?" she said turning to the queue followed by eight of the students including Iona, Vertigo and Wolfsbane.
