"Wow you three girls are so adorable." Tracy said as she looked at them all "Karma," she said speaking to the X-Man "you are so lucky to have the cutest team in this school." She turned back to the three girls and said "I think I will have some hot chocolate a little later on. There are some kids still outside and it's starting to get later and colder out so we will all need some when we get back. I'm going out to bring them back in so I hope to see you all soon."
She smiled warmly and wished she could stay. This was the greatest feeling of any of the rooms she had just been through in the mansion, wonderful happy emotions. In fact she was feeling happy herself, almost artificially so, and it started to feel odd to her. "I'll see you ladies later. Bye" she said grinning and walked out through the double doors to the cafeteria and out the back of the school humming and nearly laughing as she went.

Not too long afterwards Sara burst into the kitchen, running through the door so quickly that she almost careened into Heartstring and was only able to stop herself by turning and literally running into the wall. Thankfully she had slowed herself down enough that she was not hurt, just a bit stunned. Regaining her composure, she said to Karma. "Hi....I...uh...I really hate to interrupt, but this is kind of important...really important...I...uh...well....I have to feed my child...my golem really...and he needs something like 90 pounds of food a day and he's also had about 5 today and maybe a little more than that yesterday and I'm terribly worried he'll starve and so if you could please, please tell me where I can get all that food for him or get somebody who can, I'd do whatever I can to pay you back for your generosity." Having gotten the words out Sara burst into tears, something she had done all too much of since she had gotten to the school.

Jenny waved goodbye to HeartString and looked over at Karma happily. "Roger says he wants lots and lots of marshmallows. Me and him are gonna share," she said and hugged her rabbit happily till that girl from the rec room ran in and burst into tears. She has a baby? She's real small looking to be a mommy. 90lbs of food?! That all weighs more than me! Oh no is it gonna eat me? Or Roger? Or my new friends? That's scary. With that thought, Jenny grabbed Roger and ran behind Karma, peaking out from behind her legs.
"That's a lot of food! That's more than me!" she exclaimed and latched onto Karma's leg. "Karma I don't want to be eaten. I don't want my friends to be eaten either. And if he eats all the food, will we all starve and have to eat my flower friends?" she asked scared and clutching Roger.

With a slight chuckle, Karma did as she promised and added a few more marshmallows to Lucy's drink before handing it back to her, so that it could melt into a sticky sweetness. "There you go Lucy, and don't worry-" she laughed "-I'm not going to tell anyone, this is our secret." she said with a small wink. Her thoughts were interrupted though as the young student burst into the room in a frenzy. She was about to walk toward her to comfort her before she started explaining her situation and started crying, then, to top it off, she found Jenny running behind her legs to hide in fear of something eating her. 'Oh dear, what is all this about. What golem?' she wondered gently, before ruffling Jenny's and Lucy's hair lightly and walking toward Elixir. "It's all right Jenny, you wont be eaten, nor will anyone else, and no we will not have to eat your flower friends, don't worry. Help yourself to the marshmallows but try not to have too many or make a mess, i'll talk to this girl." She called back to her with a smile, before reaching the girl and putting a hand lightly on her shoulder.
"Hey there, now come on, calm down and take a deep breath." she soothed gently, rubbing her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down. "Tell me again what is going on, as i must have heard incorrectly. I thought you said there was a golem in the school and you need to feed it 90 lbs of food a day because it is your baby. Now come on, explain to me what is going on." she said calmly, trying to get the girl to breath first and hopefully be thinking clearly before she made any attempt to talk again. "Come now, tell me your name and we can try to get all this sorted out, alright?"

Lily cheered and waved as Tracy left, flying up again to Karma to get the extra marshmallows she was promised, holding out her cup, letting her tongue stick out as to not spill a drop. She waited for said marshmallows as she saw an older girl come running in and blubbering and then crying about her baby. Lily looked on, confused for a moment as to why a girl her age would have a baby, and the amount of food sounded like A LOT.
Looking at the crying girl curiously after seeing that Jenny had hid herself behind Karma, Lily spoke up. "What's a golem?" she asked, since it was something she had never heard about, not even in the fairy tales her mother used to read her. She put her cup down so she wouldn't spill it, and then seeing how multiple people looked uneasy, she thought, OH! I can make everyone happy! Yay!
Giggling at knowing her ability, even though as she grew it would develop more, she flew around clapping her hands happily, and in doing so, powder floated around from her wings, spreading all over the disturbed bunch, making them happy. Remembering back to the day her powers decided to show up, she managed to count how long it had lasted on her mother; it was temporary, but it lasted about a good hour or so.

Sniffling a little as she tried to hold the tears back, Sara attempted to explain the last few days events to Karma. "I'm Sara. My golem is Amos. He's been living in the stables the past few days, as have I.
You see when I got here I was really scared and I went out to the woods and I don't know what came over me but I made him, a golem, just a mud statue. Nothing was supposed to happen, just a thing to calm me down, but when I cried on him he came to life as a full flesh and blood creature, not mud anymore. He's got a bear's body and a bear's appetite so he has to eat about 90 pounds of food a day...well, at least the book I found in the library said bears eat that much. He's completely developed physically but a baby mentally and he thinks I'm his mother and for all practical purposes I really am." She stopped to breathe. "Ms. Frost just said that he would be taken care of, but she's busy now and I can't disturb her and he really needs food right away. He hasn't eaten much of anything the last few days."
She paused again, "I know I shouldn't have made him, but that's not his fault, and he's as real and as human as you and me now so he shouldn't suffer for it, even if it is necessary to punish me." With that she started crying again, more softly, and looked up at the teacher with a mix of fear and hope.

Allison walked in not long after Elixir stumbling upon the group of little girls and Karma. Instantly, she felt an odd feeling of happiness come over her. "Karma darlin' look at you with this little group. Hello there darlings," she said waving to the little girls and smiling at them. God they are cute! Look at that little fairy! Oh my and one with a stuffed bunny! Oh they are just too precious! This job I don't think I would mind, she thought before embracing Karma. "Hello Karma love, How are you doing? I see this place is still crazy even with half the people gone," Allison said with a laugh.
The distinct smell of hot chocolate lingered in the air, which Allison breathed in deeply. "Mmmmm MMM it smells delicious in here. Decibel was just talking about getting some hot cocoa," she said breathing in the warm comforting smell. She liked it so much she almost forgot about why she was here in the first place.
Allison turned to Elixir with a raised eyebrow. "Darlin' why are you crying? And why did you run off when Emma told you to come with us? I gotta tell you darlin' it does not look good when you go against Emma like that, you were part of that group you know?" she said shaking her head, though the smile never left her face.

While normally Sara would have gotten terribly upset at hearing that the Headmistress was upset with her, especially as she had not heard that she was supposed to come along, having been so distracted by her own worries, and therefore had no intention to disobey, strangely she was not worried at all. Her worries had melted away and the torrent of tears coming down her face had transformed, at some unknowable point, from tears of pain, frustration, and fear, to tears of joy. They were tears of joy that stemmed from no discernible purpose as Sara still had all the same problems that had confounded her when she first ran to the kitchen to seek Karma's help.
Consequently, when she answered Dazzler, Sara, spoke with unaccostomed boldness seemingly accented by the broad smile she wore on her face. She replied, "I did not know the Headmistress wanted me to come with her and did not intend to offend. I'm just trying to do my best with taking care of Amos and the situation is serious in that he needs to be fed right away, yet it seemed Ms. Frost was rightfully preoccupied with other matters of greater concern to the school. So I came here to try to sort that out." There was none of her usual cringing in her answer nor any begging for forgiveness, something astounding from a girl who normally assumed she had offended the world by breathing and was so free with gratuitous apologies that one who did not know her well would think they were insincere. Because at this moment, Sara was not worried. Somehow she just knew everything would be alright....that, and that hot chocolate would be a wonderful idea!

Instantly, a wash of calm and joy filled Karma. She smile sprang back to her face and she gave a soft chuckle as her eyes brightened. She was about to speak again to Elixer but she was distracted by Dazzlers entrace. She always did seem to never faulter in her entrances, always...well...dazzling. She laughed a little and returned her embrace in a tight hug. "They are actually quite sweet. I love them immensly." she said with a slight laugh hidden in her words. She turned to her girls and pointed them out individually to her friend, "This is Jenny, and her friend Roger. Then there is Lucy, and our newest arrival Lily." she walked back over to the counter and sighed quietly, the smile still lingering on her face.
"Yes, you are quite lucky, you missed the big event a couple of days ago. But we can tell you about that later if you don't already know. Anyway, we can only move on as always. Hot chocolate?" her words all seemed to be formed within one breath as she moved through her conversations quickly, happily jumping off the one which could include a description of the attack. she refused to let her girls know anything more than they did about it. "There are marshmallows too if you want? Kindof a treat for us all if you will." she added, turning around and placing a few more of the sweets into her own drink and taking a small slurping gulp.
Looking back to Elixer with a small smile as she licked off the sticky sweetness from her top lip, she spoke a litter softer. "Now I know this may sound a little harsh, but 90lbs of food is alot. And the first priority here is feeding all of the students and teachers. Are you aure he needs 90...lbs? And tell me...why did you make a mud man in the first place, surley you would be having fun with friends first. And definately not crying." her words becoming more of confused questioning as she carried on, but, after another louder slurp of her drink, she couldnt help but hold back the immense grin on her face. "Come on you two, help yourself."

Allison nodded her head when Karma spoke to Elixir, though she continued smiling and the odd feeling of euphoria that consumed her. "Darlin' Karma here is right, 90 pounds of food is a lot for any creature, and Sugar I don't think we have that much food for one creature. Do you know how much teenagers eat? Particularly the boys, they are regular human garbage disposals," she said with a laugh. Allison knelt down to eye level with the little girls. "Hey there little beauties, my that sure looks like some yummy hot chocolate. Bet ya'll are really happy to have some warm delicious hot cocoa on such a chilly day," she in a gentle voice with her dazzling smile. Standing back up she looked at Karma and smiled. "You probably got the best group of kids here. God they're beyond adorable," Allison said with a melodious laugh.
She placed her arm around the girl's shoulders and winked at Karma. "Well I for one am watching my weight, gotta look good and stay in shape in the showbiz world. But if Elixir here wants, we can grab her a thermos for downstairs," Allison said still feeling really happy. Must be the smell of hot cocoa. I always had a weakness for it, she thought.

Turning to Dazzler, Sara, said, "Oh, I'm good. I don't want to be late for Ms. Frost. I really didn't realize that she wanted me to come too. I thought I would just be in the way," she said cheerily. Then she waved to Jenny and Roger and said, "It was so nice to meet you both. I'll talk to you teacher and we can find a time to play...Roger is so adorable." Smiling broadly as she left the room she also waved goodbye to the teacher and the other little girl and started to head out the door, leaving Karma's questions unanswered.
Had she answered them, she would have said that, yes, everything she read said that a person like Amos, who had a bear's body, needed at least 90 pounds of food and that was not negotiable. Had she not been under the effect of Lily's power she would have gotten quite upset at the notion that Amos was just a creature and not a person, and that feeding him was unimportant. He may have started as mud but he was a living person now, just as real as she. And she would do absolutely anything to take care of him.

HeartString had come in from the cold. The very thought of being outside without a winter coat was ridiculous. She strolled into the mansion through the back doors of the cafeteria and was heading on into the kitchen as she thought 'Where did I leave my coat? Oh It must be in the -'
At that moment a sound from outside of the mansion registered to her ears. "Uh oh, another attack!?! When will they ever learn?" she said thinking out loud. Running into the kitchen she saw the little girls still happy and now others had come and were joining them in the joy. Tracy could feel the happiness pulsing off of them- it was unnatural, most certainly artificial.
"Dazzler!" she called out to the senior X-Man in the room, knowing full well that Karma could have answered her just as well. "-What was that?" The answer would have been the same from either of them- since they, like her, would have no idea- but she asked anyway. She hoped they could focus through all of the happy happy feelings that were so clouding to her own thoughts.

'Heartstring, Heartstring, Heartstring, Heartstring where in the world is Heartstring. Why did i have to find her, i cant find my shoes in the morning, let alone a person in the school who i've met once! Heartstring, come on focus Tor, where is Heartstring. Wait...hang on. Decibel said something about Hot Chocolate. Oh god let me be right for once.' she cried inwardly as her loud thudding feet ran through the halls of the school, door after door, corridor after corridor. 'Where in the world is the kitchen! And why is no-one else screaming? Am i missing something here?! No, Decibel sounded urgent. Come on Shimmer. FOCUS!' her mental battle with herself stopped as she half skidded to a stop at the kitchen door. The light squeaking on the floor made her wince a little, but her haggared and wheezing breath didn't stop her from shoving the door open and crying out.
"Someone, help, please, Heartstring, i need her, Decibel, Urgent, Courtyard, Explosion, fire, help!" she gasped as she clutched the wall outside of the door. "Please." she begged, not registering that she was in fact invisble still, and that no-one could see her. None of that matter right now as she looked through the kitchen. Finally resting her eyes on the person she wanted. "Heartstring! Help. Please! There has been...i don't know. Decibel told me to get you. I ran. I don't know what happened. Please!" she begged, not being able to move yet as she was still struggling to breath from running and from her state of fear.

"Who's there?" HeartString said as her head spun around to the doorway connecting the kitchen to the main hall of the mansion. "You guys hear that?" she asked the others in the room, "Or am I losing it? I thought I heard someone say my name!"
'Decibel? That Exploding sound- a frantic voice!?! This must be some trick of hers to get me to fall into some Hellion trap. Those guys just never quit messing around, I swear!' She was justified in being angry, but could feel nothing but happy at the moment, due to the mutant power of the little girl with the fairy wings, and she smiled and said "HA HA Ha- Gina you messed with me one too many times for me to fall for that old 'throwing your voice trick' again! Get a new gag you one trick pony!" Tracy said with a smile.

Letting out a very loud and frustrated sound, Torri took all her willpower and regaind her colours once more, although she had regained a litle energy, her fear and frustration was still there. "Heartstring! Please. MOVE!" she pleaded, her eyes wide and scared. She didn't like talking to people much, and being forcd to was not something she enjoyed. "Decibel and Colossus were in the courtyard, then there was this explosion. Now it looks like there is a fire and im scared, but Decibel told me to come get you so come on" she urged, motioning down the hallway.
'God these people can be slow at times, it's not like i don't sound scared.' "please..." she said again, alot quieter as her eyes began watering slightly as the realisation hit her. Heartstring was needed cause people would be hurt, there was a fire and explosion. 'Oh god...when will it stop...' she whispered inside her head quietly.
