Author's Note: In this story, I'm making it so that Kurt no longer has a girlfriend. Um, lets say that they broke up because Kurt realised she didn't find him attractive, rather, she just though he looked different and interesting. Just to clarify.

Everyone immediately turned to face Halley. She arrived in a flash, into their midst and set the chandeliers swinging. Halley looked around the room, truly taking in the sight of the dining hall full of staring faces. The students were shocked to see a young girl, a fake blonde with tremendous curls, wearing a ginormous glittery sombrero and carrying a red carpet-bag, teleport onto the dining room table. As Halley casually stepped down off the table using an empty chair, she heard someone shout,
"Did she teleport onto the bacon? Is the food alright?"
Halley smiled. Her ego had been placated by the theatrics of the entrance, although she wasn't yet content. She paused time and began pulling the doors at the end of the long room open, knowing that when she restarted time, they'd continue opening of their own accord. She quickly repositioned herself exactly as she had been before she paused time, mid step and holding her red bag, before starting time again.
Halley heard the students behind her gasp as the heavy wooden doors seemingly flung themselves wide open.
"Is she telekinetic?" she heard students murmur as she strode through the doors, towards the room she had been assigned the previous two times she had lived the series of events that had led her to Xavier's Institute.

The room was, of course, empty and neatly made up. Halley quickly unpacked her belongings into drawers and hurled herself onto the bed, lying back and snuggling amongst the covers.
That's right, she said to herself. I'm not a time-traveller, I can teleport and I'm telekinetic. She silently thanked the children in the hall for whispering those words as she had shown off her abilities. She knew now what she wanted people to think of her whilst she was living at the school. Maybe in time, she would tell them the truth, but then again, she could simply rewind time and do all of this over again. Nothing's permanent, she whispered to herself. Everything will be fine.

Logan walked past her room and glanced in, but instead of yelling at him or looking away, this time, she asked him,
"What's everyone doing after lunch?"
"Who exactly are you?" replied Logan, somewhat angrily.
"Halley, I just moved here"
"Funny, Storm didn't mention anything 'bout you"
"Storm?" Halley asked.
"Y'know Miss Munroe"
"Oh" said Halley, nodding and looking at her feet, contemplating what Logan had said.
Logan was beginning to walk away, when Halley called out, "Wait, Logan, why do you call Miss Monroe Storm?"
"It's her codename, her nickname, I 'spose. I'm Wolverine, everyone has one. Why, d'you want one too, kid?"
"Yep" Halley nodded, "And I think I've thought of a good one". Halley had a wide smile on her face as Logan stormed down the hallway, shaking his head at her enthusiasm.

As Halley sat on her bed, it occurred to her that the only person who knew her name was Logan and that everyone else knew her only as that-kid-who-teleported-into-the-dining-hall.
Wait, thought Halley… there was one other person… Halley suddenly remembered the stupid phone call she had with Miss Munroe earlier that day. She'd totally forgotten she hadn't gone back in time far enough to erase her comments on her rare blue eyes. She groaned inwardly at her own juvenile need to annoy people, but decided only to go back in time to before she told Logan her name, rather than delete the entirety of the morning. She'd just have to go by her codename, or a new name, from now on, and hope that Miss Munroe eventually forgot about that phone call or simply thought it was a prank call.

As the sun was setting, Halley stopped time and "teleported" onto the empty lawn at the front of the school. By now, news of her dramatic arrival had spread and almost all of the students and teachers were aware that a new and unnamed student had joined their school. Halley walked calmly towards the beautiful water feature, her bare toes curling and grabbing at the cool grass as she walked.
"HEADS!" called a boy somewhere out of her line of sight. She swivelled around to see a baseball flying towards her from the other side of the building. She paused time, and using the effects of the distorted pause-gravity to her advantage, jumped to a superhuman height to reach the ball, and then set it in motion back to where it had come from. Halley was about to attempt to "swim" back down to the ground the take up the position she had been in before she paused time, to cover her mutation, when she remembered that everyone here knew (or rather, thought they knew) that she could "teleport", and that she no longer needed to worry about keeping up the illusion of being human. She un-paused time and fell to the ground as gravity took effect again, landing in a crumpled heap where she began to cry. A loud rush of sound filled her ears, and moment later a boy's voice asked her,
"Are you alright?" His accent was distinctly German, "I saw you fall, but you didn't get up again. I know how it can be, teleportation can be very hard to manage sometimes".

"What?" she snivelled, surprised to see the boy looking down at her was blue and furry.
"I don't mean to offend", said the blue boy, "It's just that you're crying".
"Oh, I'm not crying because I'm hurt, it's just that never before in my life have I been able to, um, teleport to catch a ball, for example, without having to teleport again to the ground so that no one noticed I had been 10 foot in the air" she laughed, wiping snot from her nose and dirt from her clothes as she took the boy's hand and he helped her up.
"I'm Kurt", said the boy, who had dark blue-indigo skin and fur, glossy dark hair and a long tail. He was wearing a light grey shirt that showed off his toned physique, which Halley eyed appreciatively, causing Kurt to look awkwardly at the ground.
"I'm Andie", said Halley, who had decided to now go by a shortened version of her middle name, Andrea, "But when it's needed, I want my codename to be Comet".
"Like that famous comet," Kurt exclaimed, "what was it called, um, Halley's Comet!"
"Yep", said Andie, smiling broadly, "exactly like that".

For Halley, changing her name was like losing her last connection to a world that had never truly understood her. She had spent her entire life hiding who she really was from her friends and family, and it had only just hit her how wrong that was. She realised that she no longer felt the need for the over-wrought theatrics she had once thrived on. Her aggression and obsessive need for drama and attention were really because she was seeking recognition of her powers. She finally had that.
But your powers are still a lie, she thought bitterly. She looked over to Kurt, who smiled sweetly at her.
"Shall we go somewhere nice?" enquired Kurt. Andie simply nodded. Kurt disappeared, leaving behind him a puff of smoke. Andie looked around for Kurt and spotted him sitting atop the roof of the school. He waved at her, and indicated for her to come join him. Andie immediately stopped time, and groaned in frustration,
"The roof! How can I possibly get onto the roof?!"

Ascending the building proved easier than Andie had initially though. She jumped almost 3 stories high and proceeded to use an almost 'swimming' motion to reach the top of the building, thankful for the strange effects of gravity when she paused time. Andie walked over to where the frozen Kurt was sitting, his eyes fixed on the spot on the lawn where she had been standing. She stood near to Kurt, before reaching into her mind and restarting the powerful flow of blue time energy. She dropped down neatly next to Kurt, who smiled broadly at her. He motioned for Andie to look at the view, and she had to admit, it was beautiful. Looking out over the school, the lawns and then the cliffs and ocean beyond was nothing less than serene. Andie had never been one to wait for the man to make the first move, so she reached up and wrapped her arm around Kurt's slim, muscled waist. He tensed momentarily, before reaching his arm around her shoulders and pulling her closer to him. Andie pressed her face against Kurt's chest and breathed in his warm scent as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"I'm so glad I found this place" whispered Andie.
"Hmmm?" mumbled Kurt.
"Nothing" replied Andie, "I'm just happy".
