First Night at school

[TuneUP]

Sean looked at the little glass like figurine that Kevin gave him. It was actually quite nice. Looked like something you could get at one of them souvenir stores. He held it gently in his hand so not to break as he walked into the room that Dr. McCoy showed him. It was a nice room really, the bed was big and looked mighty comfy. He had already laid out the quilt that his gran made him when he was a youngster. It made the room look more homelike. He had already unpacked his clothes and items and had hung up some pictures on the wall of his family and friends. At least that would help ease his homesickness a bit.

Sean changed into his sleeping clothes, which were his baggy blue plaid pants and loose soft white t-shirt. He laid down on his bed and put his arms behind his head. Well so far, everyone has been real nice. The girls here all seem to be lookers and real nice. Though Anastasia is real small. If Mom saw her she would be cooking up a storm and forcin’ the poor thing to eat. Lorelai and Ian make a funny couple, though Ian musta been irritable tonight or somethin’. Heather seems mighty sweet. I wonder if somethin’ ever happened between her and that Ian fella? From the looks she was givin’ him it seems like a mighty high chance there was somethin’ there. Kevin seems real eager for friends. Probably didn’ have too much if his family was anti-mutant and all. I wonder what the other kids here are like. I sure hope they’re as nice as Ms. Frost said, Sean thought as he evaluated the day and all that had happened since he found out he was a mutant. I bet that there are some bad apples in this school, there always are. But with everyone being mutants and all they might be more dangerous than the usual bad apples. Just like what dad said how some of them can be dangerous. I gotta remember to ask around on who here would be the most dangerous. Ma will skin me alive if she learned that I didn’t take any precautions, he thought in his head with a smile as he remembered the conversation he had with his parents on the car ride to the airport.

Sean got up and went over to the sink in his room next to the bathroom. He then remembered that the guy with the dog-ears was his bathroom mate. It seemed that him and his little lady got in trouble when Dr. McCoy caught them. He wondered what kind of punishment they got. He hoped it wasn’t too severe. Sean brushed his teeth and washed his face before he went opened the door to the bathroom to see a large shower and a toilet. It was a relatively small bathroom and clean, but it would do just fine. Sean took the towel that he had hung on the hooks earlier and wiped his face and let out a big yawn. As tired as he was, he didn’t know if he was ready to sleep yet.

Riker walked to the bathroom door not even thinking to knock when he opened it he saw the new boy, Sean he believed, in there. "Oh! Man I'm sorry, I didn't even realize someone would be in here" he said backing up from the door and covering his eyes. He was not in a very good mood so far and was concerned about Lurai. He wanted to badly to go see her but with the recent 'problems' between Shimmer and him, well it didn't seem like a practicality at the moment. He was no longer in a good mood and had turned very depressed since his encounter with Miss Frost. It seemed like everything over the past couple months had been piling up. With the going to this school and having to leave Ireland, he was really in an emotional daze. But he just took a deep breath as he knew his irrationality would be settled by the end of tonight he just needed to sort out his thoughts and come to conclusions.

He let the door shut standing behind it and shouting to the other side. "Would you mind telling me when you're finished?" he asked waiting for the new boy with the southern accent to respond to his inquiry.

Sean moved the towel away from his face when the other door banged open and he saw the wolf boy, Riker he recalled his name was, standing there not looking as cheerful as he did earlier. Guess he didn't realize that I was only wipin' my face, Sean thought as he laughed slightly. "It ain't no problem, I was just wipin' my mug here. If ye need the bathroom, your free to use it," he said in his easy western drawl.

Sean hung his towel back up on the rack and opened the door to Riker's side of the room. "Bathroom's all yours," he said with a smile before he went back to his room and closed the door behind him to allow him to have his privacy in the bathroom.

[Riff~Raff]

Riker walked into the bathroom and grabbed his tooth brush and started to brush his teeth. After around two minutes he finished and rinsed his mouth before leaving the bathroom and shutting the door. Walking to his room door he paused a moment and turned back to his new bathroom mate and team mate's room. He knocked slowly three times.

"Hey" he said trying to wrack his brain for words. "Uh, Sean, can I come in?" he asked thinking about his lame attempt at words. He really couldn't believe how stupid he sounded. It truly baffled him.

[TuneUP]

Sean was laying back on his bed looking at the pictures when Riker knocked on the door. Well it seemed he was friendly at least and it would do good for him to make friends with his bathroom mate plus you can never have enough friends. He sat up and in bed and the easy grin.

"Yea sure Riker, come on in," he said glad he didn't lock his side of the door. Sean was quite comfortable and he didn't feel like getting up.

[Riff~Raff]

Riker opened the door slowly. "Hey" he said softly. "Sorry about earlier, I just wanted to see how you were adjusting. You know, if you like the school and stuff?" he asked putting a smile on. He didn't want a bad first impression with the new guy. After all they were teammates.

He thought about how Lurai would react to him. That thought actually made him laugh out loud. He could only imagine.

[TuneUP]

Sean smiled at the wolf guy Riker easily, wondering what was so funny. But at least he was laughing instead of looking so down in the dumps. "Aw don't you worry bout that. And well, I met some of the others downstairs and they all seemed real nice. I met Lorelai and Heather, that real skinny girl Anastasia, the big fella Ian and the little fella Kevin. They all seemed mighty fun. Though I'm sure I still have many others to meet. As of now though I like the school just fine," He said with a friendly smile.

"What bout you? You doin' alright there?" he asked. Sean wasn't trying to pry but it was always good to ask someone what was on their mind.

[Riff~Raff]

Riker smiled. Happy to know that he was adjusting well and everyone was being warm and welcoming. Riker laughed at his question though. "Yeah, I'm fine, just a little overwhelmed I guess. I have a twin sister who's a little younger than me, anyways I've always kind of taken care of her and now that I don't have to, I'm not really sure what to do with myself" he said laughing at the thought of it. "I still worry about her like crazy though. She's an interesting one. She never really took to learning...well, I guess if you meet her you'll understand" he said with a smile thinking again about the cowboy and her meeting. He could see it now. It would definitely be a sight to see.

[TuneUP]

"Aw I do look forward to meeting more people. And it's good that you care 'bout your sister so much. I have two younger sisters myself. Identical twin and only five years old. They are a troublesome pair of tikes," Sean said with a bit of a chuckle as he thought of Ella and Daisy. Those two were most definately double trouble.

He leaned back on his bed a bit and looked around the room. "It sure is a big and nice place here. And so far the people are mighty nice. What are the others like? I know there are some others. I was actually thinking not long ago about if there are any bad apples here, or those I should stay away from," He said thoughtfully. Now he could get a bit more of an inside on the school and Riker seemed nice enough.

[Riff~Raff]

Riker nodded. "Then don't let them around Lurai, they'll be even more trouble" she said lauhing at his comment but nice to know someone who had a younger sister to. At least Sean would be able to understand why he worried so much. "Well lets see, bad seed, not to many. There is one girl I've never actually talked to her, but she seems very cold, but definitely not a bad seed. She's been promoted to team leader of Paragons, her name is Ember. I can't tell you anything else as I've never actually talked to her. Now there's Diesel and Frostbite, Ian and Lorelei, they are both pretty nice, nothing to wrong with them. Diesel is a strong guy and very protective or Lorelei and Heather: codename- Aqua" he said and leaned against the door frame with his hands up, counting off the names of the students.

"Then there is Jumper who's a good guy, he hits on every girl, but he didn't take advantage of Lurai not knowing much so he's a pretty cool guy. He's just playful and always happy. Let's see there is D'mnchyld she's just quiet and kind of odd, but nice all the same and on our team as is Aqua. There is a little girl named Jenny who is in the younger group. There is Hardlight, Elixir, Ripple, and Katana. Hardlight is very needy when it comes to friends, but he's a good guy, Elixir is a sweet girl who is a little self conscious but extremely nice, and Katana is a little rough around the edges and I've only met Ripple in passing so I can't say much. Guardian is a very good guy. He tries his best to just help out which is really kind of him. And finally there is Shimmer also know as Torri, who is my girlfriend, she's slightly insecure and by slightly I mean extremely, but she has a good heart and the capacity to change, which I think this school will help her. Onyx, Clutch, Moonshine, FreezeFrame, Highball, Decay, and Tempest I have yet to meet, just know they are here. Then there is Haven, who is the only bad egg I know about, but I don't think she's really that bad, I think she just needs a friend. She reminds me of Lurai a lot. She seemed to have made a rash decision without thinking about it, but I don't know the details, but my advice is don't let what others tell you form your oppinion. Let their actions speak for themselves" he said finally finishing shifting his eyes from his hands to the boy again.

"Basically, everyone is real nice, at least the one's I know, and everyone wants to help everyone, but drama is bound to happen" he added thinking back to if drama would be the right word. He had read a novel once that used it and asked Flynn about it. All he said was that Lurai and High School were the two best examples.

[TuneUP]

Sean listened to the descriptions that Riker gave him about all the students. Seemed like a pretty big group. He wondered about the people that Riker told him about.Well it's obvious that Ian is protective of Lorelai, she's his little lady and guess from what Riker's saying he watches out for Heather too, though right now he seems a bit bothered with both of them. And that real cold girl Ember? Wonder what is with her. Must be something good bout her since she a team leader now.

My, this school is bigger than I thought. Riker has been here longer than me and he hasn't even met everyone. I wonder whats with that girl Haven? What did she do that made her a bad egg? Aw but I'm sure I'll find out soon, Sean thought as Riker finished describing everyone.

"Wow that's a whole lot fo people. Should be interestin' meetin' them. Do we all do things together a lot?" Sean asked curiously.

Ian was not at his happiest. He just came from the laundry room downstairs and used up all the washers to wash all his clothes at once. At this point, he had on the last of his clean clothes, which was a pair of loose gray sweats. Ian was walking around shirtless and had been worried that he wouldn't have a shirt for tomorrow since he didn't know how long his laundry would take. He walked over to the room across from his where he heard two voices coming from, one being the unmistakeable western drawal that the new dude Sean had.

Ian knocked on the door. "Uh dudes? Ca I come in for a sec I need a favor," he asked looking down at his bare chest and praying that one of them might have a shirt that he could borrow, though they were both a good deal smaller. But some of those muscle shirts stretch insanely, so you never know one of them could have one. Besides he was in the mood to chill with some of the dudes like he did with his buddy Eric back home. Though he doubted any of them were able to go joy riding and pick up some babes for a ride to the beach. Frankly, with all that had been going on lately he was too scared to do it for fear of what the teachers would do since they all seemed to be under a good amount of stress. But it was always cool to just chill with the guys.

That and he needed a shirt. Was getting a bit too cold for his liking.

[Riff~Raff]

Riker thought about it for a second. "Not really, we're pretty independent now, but I guess when we start classes things will be a little different. If you mean like socially we all grab a milkshake, then now, most people just meet along the way" he said nodding.

His attention to Sean was deterred though for a moment when he heard Diesel walk up beside him and make a comment about needing something. "Hey Ian. I'd say yes but this isn't my room so you'll have to ask our new friend here" he said nodding towards Sean.

[TuneUP]

Sean looked toward the door when he head Ian's surfer accent call out requesting entrance for his room. He was a cool guy and why not he could get to know the both of them better and then have some fella's for friends since it seemed like there were mostly girls in this school anyways. "Yea sure Ian come on in, Riker here is just tellin' me 'bout this here school of yours," he called to the door before tunring back to Riker.

"Well, I guess I'll be able to meet them all as we go along and everythin' then. This school looks real fun and so far the people seem like good folks," Sean said with a smile.

[Diesel]

((((OCC: Riff~Raff dude, I'm on the other side of the door not right beside you))))

Ian pushed open the door and saw Sean and Riker just chilling out in the room. "Thanks bro, and what's Riker here telling you about the school? You dudes talking about the chicks and stuff?" he said with a sly smile on his face. One of the things he did love about this school was the hot girls that seemed to fill it. Well, the ones he had seen were all pretty but there were the good couple that were just... DAMN. He spoke to Eric while he did his laundry and told him about Lorelai and some of the other hot chicks here, and how he has yet to meet a chick with the ability to make her breasts grow to whatever size she wants. But he did tell him a bit about the battle and how crazy it got. Not all the details though cause he didn't feel like thinking about it. But they did speak a good deal about the girls here and Eric was begging his mom by the end of the conversation to say he was a mutant so he could come to the school. It felt good talking to his best bud.

Ian then looked down at his bare chest and then back at the two dudes. "Uh do any of you dudes have a shirt I can borrow. All my clothes are in the wash," he said and eyed the two guys with smaller builds than him. Maybe he should have asked Colossus or Cyclops for a shirt, but you never know.
