Chapter 4: New Surroundings

LAST TIME:

There was a dead silence in the room and as soon as Sandra stomped off the table the room exploded with laughter. Rogue and Kurt were leaning on each other so they wouldn't fall down laughing, while Jean let out a string of girly giggles that she couldn't suppress, Jamie laughed so hard a few dupes came out laughing too. Alex was leaning on a chair for support as tears poured down. Tabby, Amara, Paige, Rhane, and Jubilee were huddled together all holding on to their stomachs so they don't piss themselves from laughing too hard.. Ray, Sam, and Roberto were slapping each other's back so they could keep breathing. Even Scott couldn't hide his amusement, he did suppress his laughter but he couldn't conceal his grin. Bobby, by this time was a bright shade of pink and he rushed out of the room, but not before sending a deadly glare at Sandra who just smirked evilly.

'I'll get you back, you evil bitch, even it's the last thing I EVER do!'

Kitty was laughing but then she approached Sandra, "So you're the one who stuck him in there."

"Ah, so it was you who helped him out, should have known."

Kitty leaned in closer and whispered, "I even took pictures."

At this Sandra's eyes where dancing, "Wanna see my website?"

Shout outs! Thanks to All!

Leslienicolespeaks – Yeah, I'll keep writing Sorry, it takes so long. Not to mention I'm barely a float in a few of my classes…

Agent-G – THANKS FOR REVIEWING! You're a BIG help in this… HUGS

paprika90 – Glad you like Sandra's attitude… Again, sorry for the long wait

In the lower levels, as all this was going on, there was a lone figure crouched over working on some invention. Forge; have been working on several projects since he made the Mansion his new home. He was still trying to adjust with the times, but it was hard. All the people he knew were now older and at times he felt alone and out of place. Being submerged in his work helped, but it didn't completely fill the void. Not to mention he wasn't the most popular person in the Mansion, since his teleportation enhancer device was flawed, and don't even start on some of the things he tried to fix around the Mansion. He hadn't been back to Bayville High as a student and he was thinking about just getting his G.E.D. Laughing softly, he thought he could ace the G.E.D. in his sleep. Pulling down a pair of goggles over his eyes, Forge lit a blow torch and adjusted the flame and started to weld his machine. Being so deep in thought he did not notice the Professor's presents.

The Professor mentally sighed, Forge has come along way since he'd arrived, but he still had a long way to go. He still had some difficulty with the times he was now living in, not including his inventions that don't always work according to plan. Xavier coughed lightly gaining the attention of Forge.

"Oh, hey Professor," Forge smiled under his eye wear, he then turned off the torch. "What's happening?"

"Well, I'm not sure if you've hear, but there is a new student here and I was wondering if you had any extra holo watches around."

Forge paused for a moment, he had heard something about a new student, but he really didn't think much of it at the time. "Eh, actually, yeah after the few incidents with Kurt's watch I made sure we had a few extras on hand, though none of them have been programmed as of yet. We need a picture of the new guy."

Nodding, Xavier pulled out a folder and pulled out a few photos of Sandra before her mutation. Where Xavier got the pictures, was anyone's guess. One picture was taken a few months ago it was a graduation photo, full cap and gown. She had a small smile, her onyx hair framed her face and her skin was light beige. Her eyes were a misty hazel.

Looking at the photo Forge started thinking of a complex program which could give similar results. Then a thought hit him, "Hey, who first created and programmed the holo watches before me?"

"Ah, yes, I have a friend who's a brilliant scientist, but it's very hard to get a hold of him these days. Plus you have made vast improvements on the holo watches yourself." The Professor smiled, yes, it was true he was well connected and he never did mention who the scientist is.

"Okay, so, what kind of mutation does she have, extra appendages, fur, scales?"

"Oh, yes, well she has fur and a tail also her ears are perched on the top of her head." Xavier paused for a moment, "Perhaps you can take a break and come up stairs. You could meet her, get some fresh air, and maybe get a nice meal. It's not very healthy to stay down here all the time."

Forge thought about it and sighed in defeat, the Professor had a point. He did need to get out a bit more. Too bad there weren't anymore discos around though. "Yeah, I guess, just let me finish up this little part then I'll come up." He then relit the torch and touched up on his welding.

"By the way Forge, what is it that you're working on?" asked the Professor.

"Eh, just a device that should make life easier for everyone," Forge threw his hands in the air for a dramatic effect. "It will have everything one would ever need for the kitchen, as soon as I get all the bugs worked out."

Arching an eyebrow the Professor asked, "What kind of bugs?" Hoping it wasn't anything too dangerous.

"Well, I wanted a mini cooker thing on the machine, but every time I turn it on it becomes a laser that can reach about 500 degrees Celsius." He then motioned to several burn makes behind him. "It almost got my hair, man. Luckily it just missed not to mention the toaster is a more of a rocket launcher. Then there is the hydro pump it just isn't working they way I want it to. But I'll get it to work."

The Professor just looked at Forge in mild wonderment, 'The things Forge gets into.'

Finishing a few touch ups Forge turned off the torch and pulled of his goggles, "I guess this can wait until later. It's not like there are any dangerous unstable chemicals in this thing." Though mentally he added, 'At least THIS invention doesn't have any unstable chemicals anyways.' He then coughed lightly, "Alrighty, I'm all done. I hope Kurt hasn't eaten all the food in the fridge."

After the outburst with Bobby and Sandra, things started to cool down again. Everyone went about what they were doing before hand, though every once in awhile there would be a soft giggle or stifle laugh.

Kitty was still a bit upset that her blackmail photos were ruined though.

"Like I can't use my blackmail anymore," She fumed at Sandra.

Sandra blinked, "You were going to use pictures as blackmail," Kitty nodded, "Hmmm, I guess I had you a wrong there. I didn't think that would be something someone like you would do." She mused.

"Well yeah, you so can't judge a book by the cover and all."

"I suppose. Hey, you know you could still use those pictures as blackmail though."

"Like, how? Everyone knows now."

"Yeah, but lets say, you put those little pictures all over your school or whatever. Do you think Bobby would want that? Or perhaps the internet and send links to everyone." Sandra whispered with glee.

Kitty then jumped up, "YES! I still have my food taste tester now!"

Everyone backed away slowly, so not to startle Kitty. There's no telling what she'll do sometimes.

"Yesh, have fun with that. I'm gonna look around a bit."

MEAN WHILE UPSTAIRS

Bobby was in his room, curtains drawn, he sat there in total darkness as waves of anger and embarrassment rolled off of him. He was racking his brain trying to get back at Sandra, but also embarrass her like she did to him.

'Well, maybe static cling… eh, no that's terrible, dye in her shampoo… closer…. but too juvenile… hmmm…. something, that would make her suffer more… like a sticky situation… THAT'S IT!' He started writing down supplies that he would need and such. He quickly wrote up a list of supplies he would need to pull this prank off. He would have his revenge no matter what they cost is.

IN THE KITCHEN

In the kitchen Scott was nursing his cup of coffee as he watched Kurt eat almost everything in sight. It was kind of entertaining in a strange sort of way. Forge finally made his way up stairs and entered the kitchen, "Man Kurt, please don't tell me you ate every eatable item in the kitchen?"

Kurt regarded Forge for a moment thinking back to what he had finished off, "Nein, there iz still some of zhat casserole Kitty made."

Forge made a face, "I did say eatable man. Not nuclear waste." Kurt laughed at this since it was so true. Scott just hid his smirk in his cup of coffee. Eventually Forge found some instant noodles in the cupboard he had master the art of boiling water many years ago. Pity it was the only cooking he knows, which is sad since it's more then Kitty can do.

"So," Forge started, "I heard we have a new student here. What's she like?"

Scott paused for a moment while Kurt tried not to choke on a half eaten burrito. "She's just arrived it's too early to make any…umm…judgments of any sort." Scott said diplomatically.

"Eh okkaay," Forge added the hot water and waited a bit for the noodles to cook. The kitchen fell into silence, except for the sound of Kurt scarfing down more food.

The Professor then entered the kitchen, "Ah Kurt."

When Kurt heard his name he looked at the Professor mouth full of some food, "Ja?"

Clearing his voice, "Yes I was hoping that sometime today you could start working with Sandra. She needs some practice in her new body and you would be very helpful to her."

Kurt looked at Xavier with a contemplative look he swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "Eh, okay Professor, but I don't know vhere she iz. I thizk she iz wondering around here, ja." He then grabbed one last cheese stick and 'bamfed' in search of Sandra. It would have been easier for the Professor to just scan the mansion but he wanted some coffee first.

IN ANOTHER PART OF THE MANSION

Sandra was wondering around a bit, trying to get more firmlar with the mansion. She came across a few people but she just ignored them. Unfortunately for her she was starting to get lost. She took some stairs and then went…somewhere, 'DAMN! WHAT THE FUCK! Why is this 'school' sooo damn big?' she thought bitterly. Everything was sleek and shinny now, instead of a warm wood feel. Then she started to try and strain her hearing to see if she could find her way back to more normal area. She probably should have gotten someone to sort of show her around.

"Stupid regret. Stupid place, I mean with a place this big you would at least put up a few maps or something." She muttered to no one.

She then cut a corner and ran into some hard but furry. Sandra was knocked on to her butt and everything became fuzzy for a moment.

"Oh, my. I'm terribly sorry." Said the blue blur, "Ah, so you must be the new student here I take it."

Being the smart ass she is she said, "No I'm an international assassin and I just stopped by for a cup of tea." She then started to blink a rapidly to clear her vision.

Beast was taken by her sarcasm, "Are you alright?"

"Peachy," Sandra's vision finally cleared up and she took her first good look at Beast and bite her lip.

"I'm sorry if I startled you, I know my appearance isn't the most disarming but…." Beast trailed off because Sandra who was still on the floor made a weird noise and clamped both hands on her mouth. "It's alright," thinking that she was upset by his appearance, "My name is Hank McCoy but everyone just calls me Beast."

Suddenly Sandra just busted out laughing, with only a bewildered Beast standing there.

"Is something wrong? Are you sick?"

Beast was at a lost until Sandra blurted out, "OH MY GOD! YOU'RE THE BLOODY COOKIE MONSTER!"

Beast looked at the laughing young mutant with mixed emotions, on one hand at least she wasn't scared and on the other she just said he looked like the cookie monster. Eventually she calmed down, wiping away the last of her tears, "Thank you, I haven't laughed that hard for a while. Sorry, what were you saying? I wasn't listening."

"Eh, yes, first off I'm not overly fond of cookies the crumbs get in my fur. I myself am more of a Twinkie monster." Beast said cheekily, "And my name is Hank, but you can just call Beast." He then extended his hand and helped Sandra up.

"Uh, yeah, thanks. Sorry about the whole laughing thing, it's just you caught me off guard and my brain didn't have time to react properly." Sandra now feeling a little embarrassed. "It's too early in the morning for me."

Beast gave a quick glance at his watch, "Well, technically it's the afternoon. It's quarter past twelve."

"Damn it! I've been wondering around this crappy area for over an hour. What is wrong with this place," Sandra ranted more to herself than to Beast. Beast just chuckled, "Yes, everyone has gone through this at one point when first arriving here. The mansion is rather elaborate."

"Yeah, whatever. SO, care to show me how the hell to get out of here?"

"Of course follow me." Walking down the corridor turning left then right Sandra was already confused again, but they eventually came to a very familiar looking door.

"For all that's holy in this would, THANK YOU! FREEDOM!" And with that, Sandra made a mad dash to the exit.

Beast shook his head, 'She's a weird one… though no one here has room to talk….' He then continued with his musing back to the med lab.

Sandra dashed back to her 'room' and went straight to bed. She was exhausted, getting lost in a maze isn't fun and the day isn't even close to being over and she was still sober. Pulling the covers over her head she cursed the world and everything in it.

'Gah, this day sucks…' Sandra then started to drift into sleep when an odd popping noise and a weird-ass smell brought her back to reality.

"Ah, zhere you are. I've been looking all over for you." Said Kurt who just bamfed into Sandra's room.

"…. What the fuck….."

"Vhat are you doing back in bed? I am here to show you zhe danger room and to start basic train."

Despite the conversation Sandra had earlier with Xavier, "Screw that shit, been there done that not interested." She then buried herself back into her bed not wanting to move at all.

"Don't be like zhat. It's not as horrible as it seems, ja. You were zhere with Logan, ja. Vell he's not zhe funest person to train vith. Plus ve need to vork vith your body…" Sandra sat up and glared at a blushing Kurt and he quickly added, "Vhat I meant to say is zhat you are not use to your body's changes, ja."

Sandra rolled her eyes, she knew deep down Kurt was right but damnit she just didn't want to get up. "Fine, you win, let me get up first. What type of clothing should I wear? Oh and by the way, no way in the seven levels of hell I'm wearing one of those god awful uniforms."

"Ummm… vell, ve're not starting out too hard today. Just vear something that iz loose."

Looking in her draws Sandra pulled out a pair of well worn jeans. Then a thought suddenly came to her, "AW FUCK! I have to cut up all my pants for my stupid ass tail." As Sandra glared at her clothes.

Kurt started laughing, "Ja, you might vant to get use to it," he then muttered "Ich habe es getan, seitdem ich jung war." 1

Sandra looked back at Kurt, "Wirklich. Fluch, der ist eine lange Zeit. Das muß Hauptesel gesogen haben." 2

Kurt looked flabbergasted, "YOU can speak German?"

"Geez don't act so damn surprised I'm not fluent in it. I just know enough to pass by. Hey, do you know where I could get a pair of scissors?"

Kurt quickly 'bamfed' leaving a trail of brimstone in his wake, Sandra was coughing slightly when he 'bamfed' back with a pair of scissors. "Here you go. Zhey vere in zhe kitchen."

Sandra stared at the back of her pants trying to figure out the best way to cut a hole without messing up the pants too badly. Biting her lip she pulled out a pen and was about to start marking the jeans up when Kurt coughed, "Um, if I may, zhis would be easier," and he made two small cuts in approximately the right area. "Try zhem on," and he 'bamfed' out of the room.

Sandra blinked then shrugged and started putting on the pants. She was having some difficulties with her tail she couldn't control it at all. She had to grab it and stuff it down her pants. Looking in the mirror the pants didn't look too bad on her.

"Who would have guessed that would work?" She said out loud.

"Zhat vould be me." Piped up Kurt as he ported back into the room.

"Eh, whatever, that WAS rhetorical. But I suppose I'm not really in synced with my tail that's for sure." She looked at her tail as it swayed back and forth. "SO, are we going to start like now now?"

Kurt just grinned and grabbed Sandra's hand and ported before she knew what was going on.

"I think I'm gonna be sick" Sandra staggered away from Kurt grinning. Some people had negative reactions to porting without prior knowledge. They ported to the weight room not the actual danger room.

"Vell, since you haven't been in your new, urm, form long ve vill start vith control and strengthening. Later on ve vill go into acrobatics."

"What? Acrobatics? You know, whatever, let's just start this so we can end it."

Kurt walked over to the stand that had rows of dumbbells and picked up a half pound weight, "First you must get control over your tail and that may take time and sometimes your tail may have a mind of its own." Kurt then wrapped his tail around the weight and lifted it up with ease. "Ve vill first vork vith simple tasks like keeping a grasp on an object. Trust me vhen I say easier said zhen done."

Sandra marched up to Kurt and snatched the weight, "I got up for this?" She then looked behind her and to her dismay her tail was just swaying, not even moving in the direction she wanted it to. 'It's gonna be a long training session.'

MEAN WHILE

Forge was starting on the new program for the holo watch for Sandra. It wasn't that difficult it was just time consuming. Plus after he's done with the programming it will still have to be tweaked a bit more once he actually meets Sandra.

TWO HOURS LATER

Sandra wanted to just crawl under a rock and die. It took her a whole bloody hour to get her tail to do what she wanted and sometimes it still didn't work. Plus her tail couldn't hold much weight and couldn't hold anything small.

"Zhat vas a good start, vill continue zhis tomorrow, ja. About the same time tomorrow, ve'll continue on control."

Sandra just groaned and she hasn't lived here for more than a day and she already wanted to leave. She hated taking orders from people. "Kurt, question. Do you go outside in those clothes?" Sandra was commenting on Kurt uniform.

"Ja, vhen I'm on a mission, but mostly I vear normal clothes."

"You mean you walk outside with regular clothes and people don't have a problem with you being blue?"

"DAH! Nein, I forgot to tell you, see zhis watch," holding up his writst, "Zhis is a 'holo-watch' and zhis zhing helps me not to stand out." He then turned it on.

"HOLY SHIT! WOW that's pretty cool." Sandra was pretty damn impressed with the little gizmo.

"Ja, and Forge iz working on one for you."

"Really, cool. I suppose it makes since." She started to rub the back of her neck, she felt all sweaty. 'Thank god for showers.' Her achy body needed one so bad.

"Hey, Kurt, what type of soap do you use for your fur? Do you use shampoo or liquid so or what?"

"Vell, I use shampoo for my face and hair since it's just easier and liquid body soap everyvhere else."

"One last question, if I was to blow-dry my hair and fur, would it puff up?"

Kurt laughed, "Ja, actually, I've had some bad experiences vith zhat. I've vould advice you not to blow dry unless you vant to brush your fur for hours."

"Ugh, I think not. Thanks for the advice, damn who would have known having fur was such a bitch."

"Ja, it can be difficult, and zhe worst thing earth is getting fleas." Kurt shivered, that was one of the worse days of his life.

"Kay, later… wait which way are the showers?"

"Zhe girls bathrooms are past zhe dorms and to zhe left."

"Thanks." And with that, Sandra walked back to her room grabbed some shampoo and soap and took an hour long shower. It felt so good.

DINNER TIME

It was feeding time at the zoo so to speak. Everyone was in the dining room they had to order 15 pizzas with over 10 different combinations. It was a free for all everyone grabbing what ever pizza they could get, they were even using their powers to get a slice. The adults had their own pizzas in a corner trying to stay out of the frenzy. So everyone was basically having a good time Jamie cloned himself and grabbed an entire pizza to himself.

Kurt 'bamfed' around grabbing slices from every pizza, Jean just used her telekinesis to grab a slice or two, Kitty just phased through anyone in her way to get to the veggie pizza. Of course the most 'subtitle' person was Tabby, she just threw 'bombs' near the pizza she wanted and just grabbed it. The noise level was tremendous everyone was chatting about one thing or another.

This was the atmosphere that greeted Sandra when she walked in the dinning room. She was so tempted to just turn around and forget it, but she was really hungry and that damn pizza smelled so good and greasy. She saw Jamie on the edge of the table at the other end with a whole pizza to himself… selves… whatever…Sandra's hair was still a little wet, but for the most part she was dry. She was wearing a pair of faded black jeans that had some rips with her wallet that was chained to her pants, and her t-shirt said "If I was lying... wouldn't my pants be on fire?" One of the Jamies noticed her and he smiled.

"Here, have a slice it's really good. It's chesses with pineapples, pepperoni and mushrooms."

"Uh, thanks…" She took the slice sat down and started nibbling on it. It wasn't as bad as it sounded really. Leaning closer to one of the Jamies she asked, "Which guy is Forge?" One Jamie stuffed a whole slice in his mouth, different Jamie pointed across the table a few seats down, where Forge sat eating a slice of pizza while looking at something that looked suspiciously like a watch.

Kitty who was sitting across from the horde of Jamies started waving at Sandra. Rolling her looked at Kitty, "Yeah…. What it is?"

"I'm like so sure we got off on the wrong foot and all." Kitty then phased through the table so she was closer to Sandra. "And I was like thinking I could tell you about Bayville and junk."

"Sure whatever."

"Well, like there's this great mall, it got trashed this one little time, but it was SO not our fault. I love shopping there, though I totally wish there were more stores in there…."

Sandra was now having trouble keep down her dinner, she was feeling nauseous. 'God, if I wanted mindless chatter I would have asked for it. Okay, so I was wrong about her being a total pain in the ass, but geez does she have to talk to me? Getting shot in the head would be more enjoyable'

What Sandra didn't notice was the disapproving glance from Jean.

"So like when are you starting school? I'll be the first to tell you Mr. Anderson is such a pain."

This brought Sandra back to reality, "Well, I'm not going to school, so it won't matter," said with an icy tone.

She was about to explain when Tabitha cut her off, "NO WAY, first you totally blow off the Danger Room sessions, you're in your own room, AND you're not going to school? THAT'S NOT FAIR! If she doesn't go to school or danger room training, I'm not either!"

Sandra gritted her teeth to try and calm herself down so she could explain what was going on, "Just a second the reas…" but she was cut off by other protests.

"Yeah, what the hell is this? It's no fair she gets special treatment!" yelled Ray

"That's right, no one got there own room by themselves as a newbie." Add Jubilee.

"Yeah, plus we've all got to suffer in the danger room, t'aint fair," stated Sam

The adults were trying to quiet down the rowdy group of mutants but it wasn't working. Digging her claws into the wooden table Sandra glared at all of people yelling over things they don't understand. The noise was really hurting her ears and at this point they where folded back against her skull. Jamie noticed Sandra starting to lose her temper and edged away from her, he has self-preservation.

Sandra then stood up and screamed "ENOUGH! SHUT THE HELL UP!" She banged her fist on the table, everyone stopped talking Sandra then snarled, "Well did any of you ass-holes thought for one moment there is a REASON that I'm not going to school. Perhaps I don't have to go to school since I'VE ALREADY GRADUATED!" She roared the last part. Some of the students were stunned but Sandra wasn't done. "Not ONLY have I already graduate high school, I've also ALREADY attended college and have my Bachelors Degree. Yeah that's RIGHT I'm not a little twerp in high school like you LOSERS are!" She marched up to Forge and hissed, "Give me that holo-watch."

Forge stammered for a moment saying that he wasn't completely done but then Sandra grabbed his shirt and he quickly gave the watch to her. She stormed out of the dinning room. The room was still in complete silence everyone was just stunned. Then there was the sound of a car engine roaring to life and out the window you could see Sandra's car leaving the mansion.

To be continued….

Translation….

I've been doing it ever since I was young. 1

Really. Damn, that's a long time. That must have sucked major ass. 2

A/N: Okay, Yeah I get it, I need to update more. I'm gonna try something new, short chapters, but more updates. I can't write a lot at one time with my classes…

Things to look for next time: Bobby's revenge, Sandra checking out Bayville… Suggestions would be apperatited…

A BIG thanks to Agent-G for helping me out with this chapter…. Oh, yeah, and incase you missed the disclamer at the top, I DON'T own X-Men Evolution … sniff

Another thing, I know that more than three people actually read my last chapter, but no review? WTF… you DO know that I'm more likely to update with reviews, I'd like to hear opinions… .
