Chapter 3: A new friend...

Authors note: Ohla peoples I have a NEW idea for this story so don't get mad after what happens in this chapter it is just to help get things going faster. My step dad and I were talking about it cause he also didn't like the movie, you'll see later on. Sorry if this has been boring so far! But if you have ideas I will try and work them in here!

Rogue and Logan sat in the room studying for their history test. Rogue looked up at Bobby who was reading a little on the revolutionary war. Rogue looked back down to study a little more. How badly she wanted to touch her boyfriend but couldn't. How badly she wanted to kiss him. Who would want her? Who would want someone they couldn't touch? Rogue blinked thinking about it. She let out a sigh catching Bobby's attention.

"Something wrong Rogue?" Bobby asked sticking his paper in his book to save the page. Rogue looked up at him and gave a half smile.

"I'm fine Bobby," Rogue lied and Bobby knew that. He sighed and set his book aside.

"Your not fine, I can see it in your eyes Rogue," Bobby said giving her a certain look she loved.

"Your right I'm not but I don't feel like talking about it when we have a load of homework," Rogue said opening her book back up and trying to push away her sad thoughts.

"Fine, but we will talk," Bobby said before opening back up to the right page. Rogue nodded before reading.

"I'm glad you decided to enroll, your classes start not tomorrow but the next day. I must decide which classes you will have, as well I will have Mr. Drake or professor Storm show you around. Your room is down the hall marked number 307, ok?" Professor Xavier said to Alliance who smiled. She nodded and left the room, "Oh I forgot we will contact your parents. Should they know the truth or a fib? Either way you should get some clothes."

"I don't think they should hear the truth just yet. Tell them this is a school for those who need a little extra attention. Tell them my brother and I were recommended here and you accepted us because our grades seemed well enough. If you want perhaps you can think of something better," Alliance sighed before turning walking out the door.

"That will do, we will improvise from there on," Charles Xavier smiled as Alliance shut the door and walked down the hall. She counted the doors until she got number 307. The room was tidy, it obviously not been used in awhile. Alliance sat on the bed and looked around. She saw a note sticking out the bottom of the floor. It was old, it had been wrinkled, wet, and dirty, it looked as if it were nearly ten or so years old. She slowly opened it and read it.

Dear Scott,

I am sorry I accidentally kicked you today. You shouldn't have passed the ball to Melissa, we are suppose to be best friends. As for your question… I'D love to go out with you. You'll probably never get this, I just wanted to tell you I think I love you, even if I can't see your eyes… I love you Scott Summers. Someday I'll marry you, someday we'll be together…

Love always,

Jean Gray

"Who is Jean? Who is Scott? Who is Melissa?" Alliance sighed before stuffing it in the tight jeans given to her by someone who had left them there. They were very uncomfortable and she couldn't wait for her own clothes. She walked out the door and down the hall just looking around. She walked passed a open door and saw that kid Bobby and a girl studying. He looked up for a second and saw her.

"Alliance," Bobby said getting up and walking to her, "do you know where you are going? Oh I want you to meet my girlfriend."

"Oh ok," Alliance said letting him guide her in. She needed to make new friends so she wouldn't be picky.

"Rogue this is Alliance she is new here," Bobby said smiling at Rogue. Rogue smiled as she stood up.

"I'm Rogue or you can call me Marie," Rogue said shaking Alliance's hand. Alliance wondered why she was wearing a glove inside where it was warm, "what can you do?"

"What?" Alliance asked looking at her curiously.

"I can use peoples gifts… of course that is if I touch them with my bare hands. It hurts them, tends to kill them," Rogue said looking at Bobby before looking down.

"Oh," Alliance said looking to Bobby who looked at Rogue like 'great scare the new girl away' Alliance swallowed, "I don't know yet all of my powers. But I can heal people…"

"You can?" Bobby asked looking towards her. It seemed to make more sense on why they wanted her there so badly. What's better then having someone who can take care of a injury? Someone who can completely heal it fast!

"That and I sometimes when I get scared shimmer to another place… and sometimes I make things explode accidentally. But it's happened I never really control it. Usually when I am upset or scared," Alliance said looking at the two looking at her with interest.

"So your telling me you can do ALL of that?" Rogue asked looking at Bobby understanding what he was.

"I'm saying I've DONE all of that. I'm not sure if that's it… can you do multiple things?" Alliance asked obviously nervous to say something wrong.

"No we can only do one thing… well one gift and we can use it multiple ways. Rogue though can use other peoples powers so she can do a verity of things," Bobby said wrapping his arm around Rogue. Alliance smiled at Rogue which made Rogue feel a little better about the girl.

"Would you like me to show you around?" Rogue asked looking at Bobby who smiled at her.

"Sure," Alliance smiled before Rogue walked towards her. The two then started to walk off leaving Bobby to go and study. Rogue and Alliance didn't say anything right away. But soon they got talking about how Rogue found out she was a mutant, how she felt, and the sad disadvantages she had for it.

Kitty and Bobby were sitting together studying. Mack walked up and sat with them. Mack had already had his schedule and was ready to go. It was lunch time and everyone was in the cafeteria except Kitty and Bobby. Mack waved and smiled at Kitty.

"Hey Mack come and join us," Bobby said moving over so he could sit, "we are just doing our homework."

"Is it ok if I join?" Mack asked holding his tray on his books.

"Yeah of course," Kitty smiled at him. He noticed the way her long brown hair swayed in the breeze. She was so cute! He couldn't help but blush. He had his own girlfriend, but she thought he was a freak right now.

"So what are you doing today?" Bobby asked Mack as he sat beside Kitty.

"My mother and father is taken Alliance and I shopping for school clothes," Mack said not noticing that both of them looked at him.

"Was Alliance the one that was in the hospital gown the other day when I met you?" Kitty asked curiously.

"That was Alliance yes, right now she is walking with my girlfriend," Bobby said smiling looking over the court yards for the two.

"So Kitty isn't your girlfriend?" Mack asked looking at Bobby not feeling so guilty at liking the brown haired beauty.

"No of course not, I was dating Rogue when I met Kitty. I forgot you haven't met my girlfriend have you? Well maybe later tonight at dinner you'll meet her," Bobby smiled. They then stopped talking and got to work.

"I'm sorry, it seems you've been through a lot," Alliance said looking to Rogue. Rogue nodded and put some of her hair behind her ear.

"Yeah I am just scared that one day, one day Bobby will realize we will NEVER be able to do the things normal people can do," Rogue sighed as the two sat down. She liked having a new friend to talk to. She never got to talk to anyone around there.

"I don't think he will I met Bobby and he seems like a great guy," Alliance said sitting next to Rogue. Rogue smiled at her a weak smile.

"He's a guy though, I can't even touch his hand without a glove let alone give him a simple kiss," Rogue felt something watery in her eye, "let's talk about something different."

"Like what?" Alliance asked curiously, "oh my mom and father are here… I didn't know they were coming. Do you want to go and meet them?"

"Sure," Rogue said standing up and walking over to the front of the building with Alliance.

"MOM! DAD!" Alliance yelled running into her mom and father's arms, "this is my new friend Rogue."

"Hello Mrs. And Mr. Evergreen," Rogue said politely shaking her hand. They looked at each other and then at Rogue's gloved hand.

"Skin condition," Rogue said lying but trying to smile. They smiled at her and nodded.

"Nice to meet you dear," Mrs. Evergreen said before giving a warm smile, "would you like to join us? We are going out to eat and to some stores. I think it would be rather fun. You taken in my daughter and all…"

"Oh no I couldn't," Rogue said feeling weird, "thank you though…"

"Don't worry dear, you don't need any money! We've got plenty besides we haven't paid Alliance her allowance in a long time. She always told us to save it up, we never understood why but perhaps now would be a good time to give it to her. She has quite a sum of money saved up. Alliance has always been the sharing type," Mrs. Evergreen smiled.

"Of course I would share! Come on Rogue think of it as girls day. You and I can run around the store or something," Alliance smiled needing a break from her newest duty.

"Uh, um," Rogue didn't want to be rude and say no, but she felt uncomfortable if she said yes, "sure…"

"Great," Alliance beamed sweetly. They waited for Mack who jogged up. They all walked to the mini van and climbed in. Sarah, Jason, and Martin were all waiting. Alliance smiled at her brothers and sister, "everyone this is Rogue…"

"What kind of name is Rogue?" Martin and Jason snickered. Being fifteen and sixteen they thought everything was funny and loved being mean.

"Martin! Jason!" Mrs. Evergreen said giving them a look.

"It's alright Mrs. Evergreen my real name is Marie, but that was my name. You may call me that if you like," Rogue said looking down.

"I prefer Rogue, I think Rogue is a cool name unlike Martin and Jason," Alliance sneered at her little brothers.

"Alliance!" Mrs. Evergreen said embarrassed of the fighting. Mack just laughed before scooting in the middle row of seats.

"Yeah well what kind of name is Alliance!" Jason yelled glaring at his older sister quite amused.

"Yeah who names there kid Alliance?" Martin yelled obviously taken offense to the insult.

"MOM DID! Now get in the back!" Alliance was obviously ticked off. The two boys climbed into the back with Sarah so that Rogue, Mack, and Alliance could all sit together in the middle row of the vans seats. They went out to eat, they went shopping and Alliance had nearly six hundred dollars to spend so the girls ran off together so they could shop alone. Alliance being the best new friend possible split her money with Rogue. Finally they met up with the others and drove back to school.

"So your Bobby's girlfriend?" Mack asked after he finished laughing at one of their fathers jokes.

"Yeah but you wouldn't be able to tell he spends so much time with Kitty Pryde," Rogue said slightly sourly.

"I understand," Mack said, "he doesn't like her though. He was talking about you the whole time him and I were hanging out with her."

"Thanks I am glad to hear that," Rogue said feeling a little better. That night the girls hung out until one AM before they left to go to their rooms and sleep. Next morning came and finally Alliance got her schedule. Her and Rogue had all but one class together. When they were in class they hung with Bobby, "what class do you have now?"

"I have determining genetics," Alliance said looking at her schedule, "with Scott Summers."

"Jean use to teach that class," Rogue said sighing remembering Jean Gray.

"Did you say Jean?" Alliance said touching the note in her pocket. Rogue nodded before turning off.

"Well this is my class, your class is two rooms down the hall," Rogue smiled before turning off into class, "oh were do you want to meet we have break after this."

"Um how about the garden fountain," Alliance smiled before turning off to go to class. She found a seat and sat down. A man walked in, he'd obviously had no sleep the night before and hadn't shaven in awhile. Alliance felt sorry for him, he was VERY handsome. She sat through the whole lesson listening to him repeat the same thing over obviously stressed about something. She remembered how she felt when the end of the world came, the feelings of losing her friends and family… of being the last people. But how did it come? What happened? Why did she live… why did only a few of them live? Who was the old man with blades coming out of his hand? So many questions that she began to wonder… would she ever do what she was sent to do? Can she change the future now? Can she help them help her?
