Author's voice: Sorry for the wait but here it is !
The next day, with her image inducer activated. Greer walked out to meet Jean at the driveway. Since Greer could not wear the institute's clothes outside, Jean generously lent her a purple V-neck shirt. Pants and shoes proved a problem though. Although Greer looked human thanks to the image inducer, She hasn't actually turned back into a human. The image inducer only created a very strong hologram, nothing else. If anyone were to have touched Greer's hands while the image inducer was activated they would have still felt her fur and claws. Pants and shoes were a problem because Jean couldn't bear letting Greer cut a hole in any of her trousers. Greer couldn't wear Jean's shoes either as her claws made her feet a little bigger. Greer cursed herself for being such a fool she didn't think she needed shoes anymore, she had adapted walking barefooted everywhere because leathery pads under her feet protected her from harm. She obviously couldn't do it in public. Luckily Rouge had a pair or ripped jeans she didn't want and without hesitation handed it to Greer to do "whatever". Evan also had a pair of skating trainers he didn't want so he handed it to Greer as well. "Nice outfit." Jean commented as Greer walked out. "Thanks but really? I feel like someone's piece of art." Greer said laughing. "Who are we waiting for?" She asked noticing that there was no car or anything. "Kitty and Scott want to join us. Scott is picking her up from her friend's house. Wait there they are." A sleek red convertible with white stripes sped up the driveway. Screeching to a halt. Scott jumped out of the seat. "Hi Jean." He squinted behind his red sunglasses for a moment before continuing "Hey Greer... You guys ready?" "Do you like mind waiting a few minutes? I've gotta go put all my stuff down." A pretty girl called from the car. She was petite with baby blue eyes and long brown hair tied into a high ponytail. Greer watched in amazement as the girl walked through the car door carrying her luggage like it was thin air. "Hi I'm Kitty! Greer right? Scott like told me all about you on the way back." "hi..." she knew it was rude to stare but Kitty's foot was still in the car. Kitty looked back. "Whoops, sorry about that" she giggled as she withdrew feet. "I walk through walls." What do you do?" "Um I, uh..." Greer looked at Jean for help. "Greer's like Kurt but more on the wild side." Jean said. Kitty looked at Greer. "Wow cool so the professor gave you an image inducer huh? Ok I should go put my stuff down. Don't wanna hold you guys up!" Kitty commented as she ran off. "Wow, she's something isn't she?" Greer commented as she watched Kitty run into the mansion walls literally.
First stop for Greer was clothes. While Scott stayed behind to look at sweaters, Jean and Kitty brought her to a store at the far corner of the mall. A pretty young woman with wavy blonde hair stood at the counter. She smiled when she saw Jean and Kitty enter. "Hey guys, getting more clothes for Kurt or is it a mending job?" "Sorry Helen we need clothes for our new friend Greer. She just joined the institute," Jean said pointing her thumb towards Greer. Helen smiled at Greer. "Hi, welcome to my shop! You new in Bayville?" "Unfortunately" Greer said smiling back. "Yeah it's a nice place, so what do you need? You seem pretty normal and I love the jeans." "Apparently Jean reckons Greer is like Kurt but more on the wild side." Kitty chirped. Helen nodded. "I see, well Greer can you show me. I know its sudden but I can't find suitable stuff for you if I don't know how you really look like." "Um... ok... but you might not like what you see." Greer mumbled and deactivated her image inducer. Both Helen and Kitty took a step back when Greer's image flickered and changed. "Hhhm..." Helen said seriously as she measured every aspect of Greer's body including her tail. Greer fidgeted. Helen's stares were giving her the creeps. "Well you're different all right but you'll be able to find clothes that suit you in row 4, rack 5. Follow me." They went to the back end of the shop and into another room. There were rows and rows of clothing in almost every shape size and color. "Here we are." Helen announced smiling. "As you can see all the clothes here are specially tailored for people with special needs. Row 4 is right there so pick anything you want and call me when you're done I need to check on something." Greer felt better looking at the clothes they were all really nice and fashionable. She honestly thought she had to borrow clothes from Jean and the others from then on. Greer completely ignored the skirt and shorts section. Although it was what she usually wore in her old school she knew if anyone in her new a school as much as brushed against her they would know immediately that she was different. Looking at herself in a nearby mirror she decided that she did look good in ripped jeans. Grinning, Greer went on with her browsing. She had a lot of shopping to do. The rest of the day was just a blast. Greer did a lot of things she thought she couldn't anymore. After shopping for clothes. They got books and stationary. Finally they joined the rest of the gang at a fast food joint. For the first time Greer involved herself in a burger-eating contest with Evan and Kurt. She won easily. Afterwards she danced with Jean, Kitty and Rouge at the arcade. By the time they got back to the mansion. Greer was exhausted but happy. She soon drifted into sleep ready to start school.
"Guys! C'mon we're gonna be late." Scott yelled as he knocked frantically at the door "Just a minute!" Both Jean and Greer called. Jean was brushing her long hair telekinetically while Greer was adjusting her clothes. She wore a loose long sleeved cyan V-neck shirt with a black tank top inside and white ripped jeans. "What do you think?" Greer said turning to Jean. "Really nice. You'll fit right in! Ok, lets get going before..." "Do you want me to blow down this door or..." Scott stopped in mid sentence as both girls walked out. "So are we going or what?" they asked teasingly. "We're heading out professor!" Scott called as the trio clambered down the stairs. "Just a moment you three. Greer all the best for your first day and watch your temper. No growling understand? Also please try to refrain from too much physical activity, we don't want you accidently deactivating your inducer." "I'll do my best professor." Greer replied enthusiastically. "I'm glad to hear that. Jean, Scott I'm leaving you two to look after Greer. First days are always hard." "You can count on us professor" they both replied. "Very well, you all seem ready. Have a good day." And with that he wheeled off.
