Author's note: sorry it took me so long to update but I was busy for the week with my one true love
Disclaimer: ah still don't own the X-Men
"Okay, Ah dare ya ta go onta de garcons' side et steal a pair of undies," Brittany said smirking at Roschelle.
"That's it?" the teenaged daredevil asked rolling her eyes at the lameness of Britt's dare.
"Okay, since dat be too lame pour tu, steal the pants of de fuzzy homme," Brittany smirked. When she was around the other Thorne girls she didn't bother to hide her accent, or the fact she usually spoke a mixture of English and French. They all knew and understood about her past. She didn't know about the X-Men yet. They seemed okay, especially Rogue, but she didn't need them looking up her past and finding out what had happened in New Orleans. They might not be so understanding. Roschelle looked at Brittany and smiled
"Deal, I'll steal Kurt's pants. I believe you'll wanna see the trophy?"
"Of course. Ya know ah never believe you do half de things you do sans proof," Brittany answered calmly. Roschelle nodded and slipped out of the room. She'd been nicknamed Risky for a reason, and she wasn't about to behave now that she had a real home. Every one in a while she had one of her friends, Adri or Brittany, issue her a new dare, usually something tame, but here at the Institute Roschelle was ready to really cut loose. She had already been on the boys' side of the dorm, mostly out of curiosity. Walking down the hall like she belonged there, she found Kurt's room relatively easy. She wasn't sure how she was going to accomplish this dare yet, but first she wanted to know exactly what she was up against.
Roschelle, would you please report to my office she heard Professor Xavier's voice in her head say. Annoyed she slipped out of Kurt's room and down the hall. It took her a few minutes to find Xavier's office. Most of the other Thorne girls where already there intermixed with the female X-Men. Jubilee and Megan looked guilty while Olivia and Odette were fighting speaking rapidly in twin speak and making gestures back and forth between the two seventeen year olds.
"What's going on?" Annabelle asked finally curling her devil tail around a book and holding it up to her face.
"Girls, I was talking to my students and to Ms. Thorne, and we've decided that putting everyone from the Thorne Academy in the same room wasn't working."
"Are you saying that we're gonna share rooms with your students?" Fallon asked pulling her damp hair into a ponytail. Xavier had interrupted her swimming for this meeting.
"That's exactly what I'm saying Ms. Syms."
"Do we get to pick who we room with?" Carson asked.
"Not at the current moment. I have assigned you roommates, but I see that's not working out, I'm sure we can do some rearranging. I chose students that have either similar interests or powers for you to share rooms with."
"Makes sense," Amber said from where she was sitting. Hank had released her from the infirmary so she could attend the meeting. Evan had even carried her to the meeting room, but he had disappeared when the other girls had started to arrive.
"Alright, let's get started. I will read the name of my student and the Thorne girls she'll be rooming with." The girls nodded already thinking about who, or in most cases, who they didn't want to room with.
"Jean Grey," Xavier read, nodding for Jean to stand up. The girls all looked at Jean who walked up to the desk and smiled at everyone. "Jean will be sharing a room with Remie, Cayte, and Olivia," Professor finished. Immediately Remie and Cayte walked over to Jean. Olivia looked at Odette, stuck out her tongue, and then followed Jean and her teammates out of the office to start moving their stuff to Jean's room.
"Kitty Pryde," Professor Xavier announced causing Kitty, who was talking on the phone to look up. Sissy, Carson, and Gayle laughed at the confused look on the valley girl's face. "Now that Ms. Pryde is paying attention, Roschelle, Adrianna, and Lyrcie, when she is released from the hospital, are her new roommates."
"What?" Adri and Kitty screamed at the same time glaring at each other.
"Yes, I know you two didn't get off on the right foot at school, but I know you two young ladies have many things in common." Kitty and Adri looked at Xavier and rolled their eyes, both shaking their heads.
"Like, alright, Adri, Roschelle, this way," Kitty called out leading the girls from the room and letting the door slam in Adri's face. Adri didn't even reply, she just yanked the door open and hurried to catch up with her new roommates.
"Rogue, you'll be sharing with Brittany, Sissy, and Taylor."
"YES!" Brittany shouted causing Sissy to burst into giggles again. Rogue looked over at the younger girl, her face not showing any emotion, but Brittany could tell she was smiling inside. Charles nodded and allowed the four to head to their new room. The only protest was from Kandra, but everyone pretty much ignored her . Taylor had managed to slide off the tiny plastic handcuff off and fluttered on her little pink wings over to Sissy's shoulder and held onto her hair as the girls left.
"You can't separate us!" Kandra screamed pounding her fists against the furniture.
"Kandra, it's for the best," Xavier said softly wheeling over to the girl and resting a hand on her shoulder.
"Leave me alone you effing cripple," she screamed yanking away from him.
"Kandra, I know this transition is difficult, but lashing out at me is not going to accomplish anything. Taylor needs other friends and you need a chance to live outside the cyber world you have created for yourself. On that note, you, Gilly, and Gayle will be sharing a room with Janie." Janie looked up, she knew who Kandra was now, but she wasn't sure about the other two.
"Janie, Gilly is sitting on the sofa and Gayle's the one by the desk." Janie nodded and motioned for the girls to follow her. Gayle looked a little awed about sharing a room with the older girls. She was the youngest of the Thorne girls. Well, her and Megan were the same age, but Megan looked and acted sixteen so no one really counted her as twelve anymore. Kandra threw one last if looks could kill glare at Xavier and the sulkingly followed the other three girls. Several of the girls rolled their eyes while Jubilee and Megan continued their hushed conversation.
"Jubilee, Megan." The girls looked up.
"Yes, Professor?" Jubilee asked looking slightly guilty while Megan blushed and giggled having read some dirty thought from someone's mind.
"You two will be sharing a room with Amber when she is permidently released from the infirmary." Megan and Jubilee looked at Amber, who was sitting on the floor looking slightly dazed from the pain killers Dr. McCoy had given her.
"Okay, do you want us to escort Amber back to the infirmary?" Megan asked smiling at Amber. The two girls usually got along fairly well.
"Alright," Professor agreed allowing Megan and Jubilee to escort Amber out of the room. He knew Evan would show up sometime during the night to keep an eye on the girl. Charles turned his attention to the remaining girls.
"Mona, Mercy, you'll be sharing a room with Rahne."
"C'mon ye lasses," Rahne called looking at Mona and Mercy, having a feeling she might get along well with Mercy, whom appeared to be a lot quieter than the other girls.
At least I'm not stuck with those twins again, she thought leading Mercy, who was trying her hardest not to run at superspeed, and Mona, her butterfly wings tucked neatly behind her back. Amara watched them leave and realized she was the only Xavier student left in the room.
Please don't let me be sharing a room with all seven of them, she prayed.
"Amara, you'll be sharing a room with Kristen, Odette, and Annabelle," Professor read from the list. Amara happily looked at her new roommates. Kristen was curled up in a little furry ball on the sofa, Odette smiled at Amara, not seeming to care that she and her sister had been separated. Annabelle was sitting on the floor putting tiny firey braids in her red hair.
"Okay, follow me," Amara ordered standing and waiting for the others to do the same. Once they were gone, the remaining girls looked at Xavier.
"I'm sorry that you'll be sharing a room amongst yourselves."
"That's fine," Fallon said happily. She didn't have to worry about waking up one of her roommates when she got up at five am to train. Carson, Temi, and Anna also liked the idea. Anna because her teammates understood her and wouldn't rearrange the furnerature and trip her up. Temi didn't care much because she didn't get along with anyone, and Carson was just glad she wouldn't be sharing a room with Cayte. The girls bid goodnight to Xavier and headed off the their new room.
