FIRE AND NEW FRIENDS Part 3 written by Dazzler
The afternoon was over way too quickly for Leah King. She loved Danger Room training and Banshee had been pleased with her. White Queen had situated her dorm room in the girls dorms,very near to the other Gen X girls, in fact, Emma had momentarily roomed her with Monet while the paperwork etc was sorted for Leah's own room and place etc at the academy. M surprisingly welcomed her. Monet's room was very tidy and neat, like M herself,Leah was a tidy person by nature too and the 2 of them seemed to get on well with each other. This was odd, as Monet's welcome wagon talents where those of wild pygmies! Leah flopped back on the spare bed , "I am soooo wiped" she exclaimed Monet looked at her "Your session in the Danger room was impressive, I am not at all surprised you are tired" Leah sat bolt upright and stared at Monet. "You watched me?" "Yes, actually we were passing by the gym and...." "Waitaminute..who's *we*?!" "Generation X, anyway, Jubilee spotted you and Sean through a window only we know about, we were in the more secret parts of the academy the normal human students have no idea about" Leah still stared M grinned, she was pretty when she smiled genuinely, which was rare "Don't worry, the rest of the team are very much looking forward to meeting you again" Blaze gave a sigh of relief. "In fact" Monet continued "We are all getting together later to watch a movie in the TV we have to ourselves. Another part of the underground complex of this place. You are part of the team now, so you are officially invited" Leah laughed, "Wow, you guys are great, I think I am gonna like it here!" "I feel you will find it a valuable experience" Monet laughed quietly. At about 7.30pm, Monet and Leah made their way down to the TV room. When they got there, they found Jubilee and Angelo on the floor wrestling, apparently,Angelo had taken a few too many of Jubilee jelly babies for her liking. When the 2 girls entered they both scampered up and brushed themselves down,trying to make more of an impression for the new girl and failing miserably, Leah grinned "No worries about straightening out! You are an x-team, you already have my respect!" Jubilee skipped to Leah and gave her a huge hug "WELCOME!" she cried Leah was knocked right off her feet, it was a good job she was taller than Jubilee,Blaze burst out laughing along with the chinesey looking girl on top of her. Skin glanced at Husk who was laughing hard, he jumped on her back and she too was knocked right over. Paige grabbed Jono's sleeve as she fell to try and save herself, he too fell in the heap. "BUNDLE!!!!!!!" Skin yelled as he wrapped his extra skin around Everett and Monet's legs and brought them down. Soon , all that could be seen was a bundle of giggling teenagers,Paige squealed as Chamber tickled her,Monet was getting tangled up with Everett. Jubilee and Leah laughed,gave each other an evil grin and pounced on Angelo,who also squealed like a girl, much to Jubilee's delight. After about 15 mins of intense wrestling and squealing, they all lay on the floor panting and giggling. Leah felt as though she had known these people all her life, she felt so comfortable and at home among them. Ok, so she'd been part of the same huge "x-family" as they had, but not with them. "So,Leah" Jubilee laughed "Where ya really from?!" Blaze giggled "Oh,yeah, sorry I couldn't say earlier!" Jubilee grinned, "You are forgiven, do tell!!" Leah sat up and leant against the sofa "You know of X-Factor right?" a bunch of nods went around the room, "Well, I came from there!" Jubes laughed "That's seriously cool!" she cried Skin looked at Leah, "Our Jubes is an ex-x-man, and she never fails us with a *when I was with the x-men* shorty!" Leah thought for a moment, "I have seen your files actually Jubes so I do recognize you!" Jubilee punched Angelo in the arm "I just like to share the x-perience, and it IS worth sharing,ain't it Leah?!" Blaze nodded, "You betcha!" Jubilee looked please "We HAVE to trade stories sometime. "Agreed" Leah responded "Well" Monet said, flying to her feet, "Are we going to watch this movie or listen to Jubilee rattle on about the X-men all night?!" "What movie did y'all get?!" Paige asked "Wrestling" M said with a straight face. Generation X looked at each other ,holding in another batch of the giggles. Monet broke into a sly grin "I am joking, it's a Xena flick" *Jubilee's fave!* Jono *said* "Me too!" Leah exclaimed, "Althought, I will say, that Buffy kicks slightly more ass than Xena does!" They all sat down to watch the movie,Paige having offered to lend Leah her Buffy videos.Monet put the video in and they all crammed on the sofa in front of the tv. Leah was sandwiched between Jubilee,whom she already adored, and Jono who gave her another wink. As they lost themselves in the action of Xena,Angelo constantly screaming out where the bad guys were, *yeah, like they can hear you so shut it!!* came the replies. They were unaware of Emma Frost standing outside the door. She'd heard the wrestling from her private office a few doors away and had come to check out who the hell was banging so loud. As she walked away, she grinned to herself,she was rather attached to her gang of mutants and the newest addition to the team was a talented young lady, a real x-woman. She was impressed at how the team seemed no different with Blaze there as if she'd always been around, she was already fond of the torchess. *goodnite my children* she thought to herself, * you are truly a credit to all that the X stands for.
