I do not own X-men. I own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story Start

"Quit singing about cats! I thought they hated you," Lexi said growing annoyed after she had been trying to unpack some of her clothes in their hotel room. Meanwhile Tiffani was lying on her bed by the window and was still singing about cats.

"Actually that has changed. Cats do not hate me but bunnies are evil towards me! I am not kidding! Stop laughing," Tiffani said yelling at the end as she threw a decorative pillow from the bed at Lexi.

Lexi dodged the pillow before throwing some ice at Tiffani, which they had found in the mini freezer in their room. The fridge was right beside the mini freezer. "How did you find out that bunnies don't like you?" she asked sitting down on the bed beside Tiffani's bed.

"You don't want to know," her friend whispered and looked around her in paranoia.

"Alright with that look on your face you have to tell me," Lexi answered back before laughing when Tiffani ran over to the door and locked it. Her friend then ran to the window and locked it too before she jumped back on her bed. "We're ten stories up and I highly doubt that a bunny will be able to jump this high," she said and watched as Tiffani's eyes grew.

"They could," her friend said before they both laughed. "Anyways, I have been walking around my house and the woods more often since the weather had been great at home. Every time I would go walking, I felt as if I was being followed and I would only see little bunnies here or there. However, one day I felt more than one set of eyes following me and I saw ten bunnies behind me. My grandpa always told me to run if bunnies come near you and the bunnies ran towards me as if their life depended on it. I ran in the opposite direction as fast as I could. The bunnies were making noises as if planning strategy to get me or bite me. I was saved by coyotes though and I was so happy about the rescue," Tiffani explained and Lexi's eyes were wide before she busted out laughing.

"You were happy about being saved by coyotes?" Lexi asked wiping tears away from her eyes.

"Well the coyotes weren't stalking me like the bunnies were and I would rather face coyotes then cute and creepy bunnies. I feel bad about hurting cute things even if they are creepy," Tiffani explained with a pout before glaring at Lexi. "You promised me coffee and a scone, so let's go," she said and grabbed her purse and Lexi's wrist. Lexi grabbed the hotel room key and her wallet before she was pulled from the room. She fought with Tiffani to lock the room door before they rushed to the elevator.

"With the way you are now, I doubt you need coffee," Lexi said in the elevator.

"Don't doubt then because I need that stuff now," her friend said with a smirk before they left the elevator. Lexi jumped when someone was in front of her and she did not see him. She gave a squeak of surprise and her eyes grew wide when the man slipped and fell to the floor of the lobby.

"Are you alright?" a woman standing near them said when all of them saw the man sitting in a puddle, which they did not think was there before. "They must have cleaned the floors," the woman said as she helped the man off the floor.

Tiffani looked at Lexi curiously, as she wiped a few water drops off her arm. She had not been looking at her friend, but she had heard what sounded like a splash of water when Lexi was surprised by the man. Her arm had also been splashed with the water before the man slipped. "Interesting," she thought before grabbing Lexi's wrist and pulling her away from the water and the elevator. "Coffee," she cheered loudly to distract her friend, who was looking shaken up and worried. "What kind do you want?" she asked and Lexi shook her head before focusing on her.

"Just regular," Lexi answered with a little smile to Tiffani since her mind was starting to get off the idea of the water and the man earlier. "It's just my imagination," she thought and the two friends carefully crossed the busy street to get to the Starbucks.

"So what are we doing after we finish this?" Tiffani asked before taking another bite of her cinnamon chip scone. She looked out the window of the coffee shop and watched people walk down the street with places to go and stuff to buy.

"Well we can go walk around and see what shops are near and then we can go on a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty before returning back to the hotel to sleep," Lexi said with a shrug as a suggestion.

"Sleep," Tiffani muttered with a happy smile.

"Not yet, I know you didn't sleep well on the bus," Lexi started to say but was cut off with a glare. "Alright, that was an understatement, you barely slept. However, we just got here and I'm not spending the day sitting in the hotel room reading while you sleep. I will get you as much coffee as you need so we can get through the day," she finished and got a begrudging nod.

"Should have just hit that guy on the bus," Tiffani said with a growl and she cringed when her friend jumped at the sound of her growl. She frowned herself when she thought of how animalistic it sounded.

"Is this what her family meant by her being more wild?" Lexi thought before shaking her head and smiling back at her best friend. "Are you done?" she asked and stood up after receiving a nod. "Then let's go explore," she said and she got a cheer. Soon the two were running around the city streets, looking through different stores, and forcing themselves to leave the Abercrombie store and quit staring at the models.

"Time for the ferry ride," Lexi said and frowned when she did not hear Tiffani cheer. She looked behind her and saw Tiffani standing a small distance away from her. Her friend's shoulders were tense and she was looking around the front area in front of the ferry building entrance with wariness in her eyes.

"Tiffani," Lexi said and had to repeat the name as she walked closer.

"Yes," Tiffani finally answered trying to shake off the sudden bad feeling she had when they started walking to the ferry building. "What is it?" she asked when she saw her friend's worry and curiosity.

"Just wondering why you stopped and looked around like you were waiting for someone to jump out at you," Lexi answered with a shrug and she watched Tiffani give a small forced laugh.

"You're silly, let's go ride the ferry now," Tiffani said and drug Lexi into the building before she could be asked any other questions that she was not sure she could comfortably answer. "Because I had felt as if someone was about to jump out and attack me," she thought with a frown again before she shook her head and smiled at her friend.

The two girls paid for round trip ferry ride tickets. They rushed onto the ferry whenever they were allowed to set foot on the ferry. The two girls ran upstairs and pulled out their cameras. The bad feeling left Tiffani as they moved farther away from the docking area. Lexi felt at ease as she looked around her.

The rest of the ferry ride was the same, taking pictures, talking to people, and deciding to buy pizza for dinner. The two left the ferry when they reached the original docking area. Lexi let out a sigh and Tiffani gave her a weird look. Lexi went to shake her head with a smile before Tiffani grabbed her hand and made her run out to the street and they got into a taxi as fast as they could.

"What's wrong?" Lexi asked hurriedly as Tiffani told the driver their hotel. Tiffani did not answer Lexi's question. "What's wrong?" she asked again and grabbed Tiffani's shoulders giving her a little shake.

Lexi gasped when her friend's eyes were a glowing amber color and she had a slight point to her ears. Her eyes grew wider when her friend opened her mouth to talk and she saw the beginning of fangs.

"I wish I wasn't sleep deprived this morning, because I actually saw a cat man and he growled at us. I ran as fast as I could because I didn't like the way he smelled. He had a bad aura around him towards us," Tiffani said quickly before cars started screeching to a stop in front of the taxi. The driver slammed on his brakes and both girls held on to each other and thanked that they put on seatbelts.

A roar sounded in front after the tires stopped screeching. The girls looked through the window and saw a large muscular man that was covered in hair or fur, which they could not really tell but Lexi knew that this was the cat man her friend had mentioned. The man's eyes glared right at the girls and Lexi jumped when water splashed around the cab.

"What is going on?" the taxi driver yelled as the large cat man started marching towards the cab. His eyes never left the girls.
