Ororo, Bobby, Kitty, and Charles were startled when they saw a girl sitting on a tree branch seeming to be waiting for them.

Charles wheeled forward immediately, taking lead.

"Hello, I'm Charles Xavier, this is Ororo, Bobby, and Kitty. You must be Ellen Adams." Each stepped forward as their name was called.

"Call me Elle," she said quietly, observing them.

A brief silence occurred as the girl stared.

"You all kind of look the same way you do in my dreams." She said abruptly.

"Wait, dreams?" Bobby asked. Elle turned her gaze onto him. He didn't have that beard that he had in her visions, only some scruff. She decided she liked this look much better.

She frowned.

"Well, yeah. Weird dreams. They're too... well this might sound weird, but, realistic, to be considered dreams. Do I sound crazy? Is it... normal for that to happen? And, what are sentinels? Where's Wolverine? I saw him? Where's everything else? What do these dreams even mean? Are they tricks? Oh and a word of advice, don't grow a beard. You look much better this way." Elle jumped from question to question, words pouring out of her mouth.

Xavier held his hand up. "First, take us back to your parents. I'll explain to you what's going on, and then I promise that any question you have will be answered to the best of our ability." Elle nodded and started walking towards her home, to have her parents meet them. Her parents were often busy working, but they stayed behind today to talk to the newest school offer. She paused when she realized that no one was following her.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Some awesome theme song to move this along? A commercial break?" Elle snapped, before clapping her hand over her mouth. She hadn't meant to sound crass. Elle had planned to try and be polite.

"Well there's your sarcastic personality. I was beginning to think that when Logan changed the timeline, he changed your personality." Kitty chuckled, but still none of them moved. Elle stared at her in interest. It would appear that Kitty knew some information about the content of her dreams. Elle jotted down a mental note to grill the girl later on all information she had, before rolling her eyes at the group's paranoia.

"We're just going to my house to meet my parents. I'm not leading you all to a trap or kidnapping you, promise," she said, hurt that they really thought she was a threat. Turning around, she walked away, resisting the urge to look back and see if they were following her.

Elle and Bobby just stared at Elle's back for a moment before also heading up, leaving Storm and the professor back there. Storm immediately spoke up.

"I'm not sure if Bobby noticed, but Kitty just laughed. She laughed, she smiled, and she talked. Am I the only one seeing the difference between today and yesterday?"

"Yes it would appear that having Elle would become a very helpful indeed." Charles said as they too started towards where Elle was walking towards as well.


The return trip was all about bonding with the newest recruit. Elle shredded everything she could out of Kitty, drinking up all the information she could.

"So... You also have visions? I'm not the only one?" Kitty nodded, a little uncomfortable.

Elle nearly cried.

"Wow. You have no idea what this means to me... for months I thought I was going crazy or something. I couldn't understand why I suddenly started dreaming of all these random people, random scenes. To know that I'm not the only one, that I'm not going off the deep end... thank you," Elle said, gratefully. Kitty only smiled, touched.

Elle tried to change the topic.

"So, are you and Bobby together?" Kitty's face immediately fell, and Elle's face grew panicked as she realized this may have not been the smartest thing to ask. Elle tentatively reached out to wrap her arms around the girl, weary that she would get slapped or something like that.

"I'm sorry, that was really out of line. I just..." Behind her, Bobby chuckled.

"It's alright, we're just friends. How about you go take a look around this jet, I bet you're dying to. I know I certainly was when I hopped onto the crew." Elle's face lit up.

"Well, it you don't mind... I have been dying to sneak a peak around..." Her voice trailed off. "Is it allowed?"

Bobby nodded, waving her away. Ellle nearly ran out of the room, partly in eagerness, partly so she didn't mess something up again.

Kitty wanted to beg her to stay, and not leave her alone with Bobby.

"So... were you close friends with Elle in your visions?" She stared at Bobby, startled that he talked. Kitty knew she should shut him out to keep her heart intact, but she couldn't bring herself to be mean while she was still comprehending the information Elle gave her.

"Um, yeah we were pretty good friends." She smiled slightly at Bobby. He was taken aback for a bit before shyly grinning back his beautiful smile. She loved his smile. It was always bright and happy, playful yet made you feel secure.

Marie was the luckiest woman in the world for having Bobby as her boyfriend.

Kitty decided to just give herself this moment with Bobby before she went back to closing herself off. After all, what was the harm? Only a few moments.

Slowly they went back to the two playful bantering friends they used to be. The ones who could always count on the other to cheer them up when they felt down.

The two started unconsciously inching closer together as they bickered about every topic under the sun, and the sparkle slowly reappeared in Kitty's eyes.

With out realizing it, the pair have now moved quite close to each other, almost too much for comfort.

Kitty was the first to realize this, and immediately froze up. Bobby soon realized this as well when he turn his head towards her and realized how close the two were. He too, froze up. Kitty abruptly got up and started moving back to her seat while stayed at his seat, staring at her. She can practically feel his beautiful blue eyes burning into her back and couldn't resist turning back to look at them. When she did, she almost regretted it. All the playfulness had seeped out, and now his eyes were so... intense. So serious, so piercing. She found herself completely enraptured by them. The words that were bubbling up completely disappeared. The rest of the jet disappeared. Everyone, everything disappeared until it was just her and those beautiful eyes.

"I..." She said, trying to pull herself out of the trance that his eyes were putting her into. She tore her eyes away and started heading back to her seat, refusing to look back at him again. Or rather, that's what she wanted. Instead, the jet tipped sideways, sending her back, and into Bobby's arms.

"Whoops, sorry turbulence!" She heard Elle snicker up at the conrols, the sarcasm in her voice so prominent that a person from the 1800s could tell she didn't mean it. Kitty growled and started struggling to get out until she realized the Bobby made no move to let her go. She immediately turned to Bobby to demand that he let her go before realizing her mistake. The look in Bobby's eyes hasn't changed, and Kitty's knees became too weak to support herself.

"You really shouldn't meddle." Professor X said to Elle. "Bobby is currently in a serious relationship with someone else at our school." Elle grinned.

"Why professor, what are you talking about? It's just some chit chat between two friends." Elle said, innocently. "I'm sure nothing serious will happen." She paused.

"So could you explain this "alternate universe" thing to me again? I'm not quite sure I understand..."

Kitty Pryde avoided Bobby like a plague the minute that they landed. Instead she chose to help Elle get settled in than to focus on his beautiful blue eyes that were so intense, and that amazing smile of his and... Kitty immediately shook her head roughly. She was so wrong earlier. There was a lot of harm in those few moments. She would not let herself make that mistake again. She had foolishly forgotten how truly enticing he was, how much like a drug he was, how he always left her craving for more time with him. No, she will not make this mistake again.
