It's not a Trampoline

[Apogee]

Donna was excited. Her impromptu flight that morning had put a spring in her step and made her more determined than ever to get some sort of grip on her... floating. Sadly, all she was doing was getting closer and closer to cracking her head on the ceiling the good old fashioned way...

...jumping on the bed.

"Ya missed it, mate. I was a good ten feet off the ground. I didn't actually do anything, but it was wicked!" She kept bouncing as she watched Maddy dart around the room. The faux-redhead was flinging around clothes adding to the clutter that Donna had left that morning. They were not the tidiest of people and it was remarkable how much had already wound up on the floor considering they were both brandspanking new.

Room inspection was going to give Donna a headache, she already knew it.

With a happy weeeeee! Donna jumped from her bed to Maddy's, her green locks spilling into her eyes. Maddy's bed was the one near the window and the Wales native pressed her face to the glass, blue eyes roving over the grounds. "Place is dead, love. We're gonna have to stir up our own action." She sent her roommie a lazy smile. "Anything in mind?"

[VEIL]

"Right now Cher, the only thing Ah'm interested in is gettin' outta dis getup and back in mah chain jeans," Maddy said diving into her closet and wrestling with her clothes to look for her favorite pair of tight ripped jeans that had chains and safety pins sewn on to random places. She worked hard to get them like that, and they were her favorite item of clothing and looked damn good on her. "Ah know Ah put dem here some- HA!" she pulled them out with a victorious look on her face.

"Veni, vidi, vici! Ah got mah jeans an' Cher yah bette' get yer green self off mah hoodie!" She had a fake scowl on her face as she pulled her hoodie out of reach for her roommate to jump on. She liked Donna, her spunk and quirky nature made life fun and she had to give Emma Frost props for making them roommates. "Did yah meet all dem boys here yet? Dere are some gorgeous hunks walkin' round Cher. Some o'dem got a hellova edge t'dem," Maddy said while changing out of her skirt and into her jeans. She was not shy about things like that and she knew that Donna wouldn't care either.

"Yestaday, Ah wish yah didn' have jetlag cher, dat Gavin is a charmer. An' mah mah, dat voice o' his sent shivers down mah spine. It's actually a big pity dat he's taken." She gave Donna a grin full of sass. "But as much as Ah love his voice, dat German boy Jasper did it for me. His gruff voice, an' mah dose intense eyes. Dhey are da color o' a stormy sky, an' jus' hypnotizin'. Yah lucky cher, Ah think he's on yar team." She winked at her and moved a jacket off their mirror so she could touch up her makeup.

"So what 'bout it cher, yah find yerself a guy dat caught them pretty eyes o' yars?" Maddy asked putting on another layer of mascara as she gave her roommate a glance in the mirror. She knew that she had not seen everyone yet, but there were enough good looking guys around to pick a favorite just from the cookout alone.

[Apogee]

Donna threw her head back and let out a laugh. It was a rather musical sound and it came all the way down from her toes, delightful and pure. "I have ta pick only one? Hm?" Her blue eyes sparkled as she hopped absently on Maddy's bed. There were several lovely looking boy-types she'd spotted yesterday, but only a few really stood out in her mind.

"Aside from Iceman, ya mean? I dunno how I'm supposed to keep my concentration in class with that man about. He's an eyeful of wonderful, Maddy." She let out another infectious giggle, her eyes dreamily staring off into space. "And Riker! He's me team captain, and him with a tail! I love his ears. Something about them being all pointy. I think he's with that silly pirate girl, though. She seems interesting." She took a deep breath and jumped back to her own bed. She was pretty sure that she landed a bit more slowly than before, but it was too slight for her to be certain. So talkin' boys is another trigger, she thought happily. Well, that's a topic that will never get stale.

She bounced off the bed and into a pile of clothes she had yet to put away. Somewhat reluctantly Donna peeled off her cardigan and tossed it onto the pile. It was looking to be another comfortable day and her orange tank top would be sufficient. So long as there were no more sudden 'ice storms' she likely wouldn't need her over-sized sweater. "And you're right about Gavin. That's boy's voice could charm the flowers into bloomin', I've no doubt. He's not so bad to look at, either, is he?" Donna gave Maddy a cheeky wink and laughed again. "Dig the jeans, lovie. Think I could pull off chains like that?"

[VEIL]

Maddy grinned at her friend in the mirror, smacking her signature dark red glossy lips that she just applied. "If yah think dat yah can work dem chains Cher, all dah power tah yah. Ah can whip yah up a pair if yah like. Ah made these myself," she said shaking her hips playfully to make all the chains rattle and cling together. She kept her DESTROY shirt that she lined with safety pins on and only grabbed an over sized black jean jacket that had a bunch of chains and patches from bands sewn on.

"Dere, now Ah look more human, or at least less like mah mamere calls 'walkin' talkin' sex on a stick." Maddy laughed as she thought of her elderly mother that shook her head whenever she went out for a derby competition. "So yah got a lil' thing for Wolf boy den? Mah, mah, Donna chere, yah are full of surprises. He's a looker dat's for sure an' mmmMMMm Iceman is some kinda gorgeous. Ah never thought someone as nice as him could get so angry, like he did yesta'day? Dat was unexpected. He looked pretty sexy angry too."

She bit her lip as she flopped on the bed on her stomach and reached under, rummaging for her boots. "An' yah may hate me fo' sayin' dis, but that tall blond Rumble ah think? Dah one dat started all dat trouble? Ah had tah work real hard tah keep mahself from droolin'. Ah don't think Ah seen a man dat gorgeous in any magazine or movie. Even wit' dem bruises on his face, he looked like ridiculously delicious," she said with a sheepish smile as she looked at Donna while rummaging for her boots.

"Ah know, he don't seem like de nicest fella, but dat jus' make him so much more, well hotter than fryin' oil. Am Ah crazy or wha'?" Maddy asked with a giggle before pulling out her boots finally and beginning the process of putting them on. "Wanna go explorin' next an' see what we can find out here? Lunch is in a lil' more'n an hour or so, so we got a bit a' time."

[Apogee]

"Aye, he was a lovely lookin' man, but a bit of a bastard, weren't he?" Donna twirled in place, one finger twirling distractedly in her hair. She knew exactly who Maddy was talking about and Donna couldn't help but agree. Mean as his stunt had been, all the trouble it had caused... he had looked good doing it. Lord help her survive this school of gorgeous, dastardly males. "Had it been me instead a'that chilly chick I would have burst into tears on the spot. People's dirty laundry are their own business. In this case, literally." She smiled lazily, hand dropping to her side. "Although, it was feckin funny."

Donna stopped her incessant twirling and grinned at her roommate, her smile brighting up her entire face. "Come on, Maddy, quit primping. You look amazing already and I want to poke around a touch a'fore the day gets around to bein over or some new disaster crops up." She skipped to the door flung it open. "Ya hear that, Xavier Institute? We're on to ya!"

They made a valiant attempt, but the girls didn't have anywhere near enough time to investigate the entire mansion before their grumbling bellies reminded them to start looking for lunch. Donna made a mental note to try and locate the hanger later. Sooner or later, she'd want a look at that jet.
