This started as my story of how I got Bobby, and it just sort of evolved. It's strange, it's random, it contains X-3 spoilers. I don't own any of it.
It was a beautiful day at Xavier's School. Grass was green, sun was shining, all that jazz. It was just about as nice a day as we'd had since the issues with the cure began. But if you're here for that, you're in the wrong place. I plan to share my interesting story of how it came to be that I should be able to sit here and watch a movie, wrapped in the arms of and playing with the hair of the guy of my dreams.
My name is Whisper. I admit, I'm not particularly well known, but I'm ok with that. On said beautiful day, I was in the stables. One of the horses was acting strangely and no one knew why. Just so happens that horses are my specialty. You see, I can communicate with animals. I don't say talk, because it's not exactly talking. But that's beside the point. The point is simple. I was in the stable.
Ack! Hang on a second, I'm being tickled. I'm ridiculusly ticklish you see and it is currently being used against me. Am I allowed to whack above mentioned guy of my dreams over the head? Hope so, cause I just did. I have fought off the tickling, back to the story.
Figured out why the horse was spazzing and found myself aimlessly wandering the grounds. Well, when a girl who speaks to animals is bored, what do you think she does? That's right. She chases squirrels. I hate squirrels. Sorry, but I do. As I was doing so, I ran into Bobby and Rogue, who were(need I say it?) hand in hand and quite content until I did so. Now, I rather liked Bobby, so this lovely encounter brought a good deal of color to my face. I apologized profously and backed away. And of course, as I backed away, I ran into someone else. This time I gave a squeal and knocked the person I ran into to the ground, falling on top of them. I pushed my almost blonde hair out of my face to see Bobby and Rogue turned to stare. I turned to see who I was on top of and found myself looking into the face of Gambit. I smiled nervously and sat back. That's when I realized he wasn't looking at me. He was gazing at something over my shoulder. I saw someone's hand being offered to me and took it and pulled myself up. Once I was standing, I found myself face to face with Bobby.
"You ok?" he asked.
"Yeah, I was chasing that squirrel, and I ran into you, and then I tried to leave, and I ran into him and then I fell and-" He held up his hands in defense to my appaling run on scentence that would have caused my english teacher to lynch me. He would've done that too. In my old school anyways, maybe not here.
"I saw the whole thing. You might want to breathe." I nodded dumbly. Turning, I saw that Rogue had helped Gambit to his feet and they were standing there in awkward silence.
"Couldn't stay away?" Gambit asked, apparently trying to be charming, "didn't want to let Whisper have me for herself?" Rogue just rolled her eyes. I laughed. Three sets of eyes were on me.
"Sorry," I muttered and ducked out of the awkward circle in search of the squirrel. I turned a little to watch Bobby and Rogue start walking again towards the mansion and see Gambit sulk away. Why was he sulking?
"Watch where you're going." I turned to face forward and was met by a tree that I managed to narrowly avoid. I stopped running and looked around. That voice had definitely come from somewhere above me. I looked up and was quite convinced that some god or another had just saved me from running into a tree. Then I spotted white wings in the tree.
"Hey, you're not a god." Angel lowered himself to the ground. I still had to look up a bit, he was a good six inches taller than me.
"Yeah, I know."
"Darn. I thought I was saved by divine intervention. That might have just made my day." He smiled. He doesn't really laugh too much, but that smile is nice. "You know what you should do? You should team up with Bubble and Kitty. They're always looking for gossip, you could be infitely useful."
"Funny, I thought walking through walls might have been the advantage there." I shrugged. Our small conversation was interrupted by a squeal from across the lawn. Walking towards us were none other than Kitty and Bubble. Their heads were close together, and they were walking quickly, obviously heading over to share their latest gossip with me.
Kitty Pryde probably doesn't need my introduction, she's quite well known and popular. She can walk through walls and I'm pretty sure she used to have a crush on Bobby. But whatever it was, she's over that. Now I have a crush on him...but don't tell her that. Bubble isn't quite as widely recognized as our other best friend, but is known enough. Her powers are similar to those of Rogue's, except she had almost complete control of them. Plus, when they were in use, the person she was touching turned to stone, and if she held on too long, they became stone permanently.
"What's the latest scoop?" I asked as they came up to us.
"You're kidding right? You just ran into the latest scoop!" Bubble gushed, as though she's been waiting all day to spill this.
"The tree?" I glanced at Angel and the tree I had almost run into. Bubble and Kitty rolled their eyes and pulled my away from Angel. I shrugged, but we both knew he understood.
"No stupid," Kitty said as we huddled in a small circle. "Rogue and Bobby! And Remy! And you!"
"What?" I just about jumped back.
And that's where I'll leave the story for now. I know, I know, you want to hear more, don't you? Awww, poor thing. Well, you'll just have to wait.
