Part of the tour

[Apogee]

"You kidding? Do i look like a bookworm?" Donna asked Kate with a short laugh as she hastily pushed the library doors open. Her face dropped at the sight of the vast library that took over the room in every sense of the word. "Cripes. I thought Beauty and the Beast had a big library. They shoulda seen this place." Donna gazed in awe at both the leather clad and paperback volumes of books which lines almost every inch of wall space.

She had never been inside a room with so many books since she visited her public library. That was a good few years ago at that. With a sense of wonder she looked across the shelves and laughed once. She swore that this place wasn't a school. She of course had attended a public school; but even then she had never imagined private ones had this many books.

"You guys gotta read any of these? I'm a well slow reader. Any of the teachers force you on these things?" She asked, her mouth hinting at a grin. As long as there where books on aircrafts or plane related items she would be fine.

"Oh god...Disney?" Katie glanced sideways at Donna and then remembered her manners. "Uh, I mean uh..Yay Disney, Beauty and the Beast. They had a big library? I kinda missed that one." She sheepishly confessed.

"But yeah, look at all this stuff. Shelves and shelves of books and all kinds of crap and- Hold up! You said you wanna be a pilot and you don't like books? I thought pilots had to learn tons of stuff, so you better get to like books I think, unless you plan on just flying the friendly skies." She winked at Donna and grinned as she flapped her arms like wings. "You know it looked like he was into you a little at least, I mean, he did like your hair." She didn't know for sure how Heather and Gavin's date went, since he opted not to comment at breakfast, but she figured the guy was still one of the 'wild bunch' so he probably would give her a fly around the grounds... if she asked him nice.

[Apogee]

Laughing silently, Donna looked back at her amigo with a small sigh. "I was a child once you know. The hair was blonde before, i was a girly girl before.Properly got so fed up I coulda died from all the -oh may gawds-!." Bringing a hand up to her face she pushed some of the green in front of her ears. Something she really didn't like was how her hair now made her ears look when tucked behind. "It was totally cool that movie. I hated Belle though, prissy missy was so up herself. And hello? Could she not have a change of clothes living in a castle for all eternity. She must have had a real stink on her." She said matter-of-factly.

Really, the idea of watching Disney was a sort of 'dirty little secret'. One of many with Donna, having let it slip she didn't bother herself too much with backtracking. She found that just acting casual makes it easier to deal with. And not seem suspicious. On the other hand, she loved to wind people up. Watching reactions was hilarious.

Raising a finger to her temple and tapping it slightly Donna nodded at Kate. "I said i didn't like reading. I didn't say that I couldn't. Ive studied Philosophy for the past year, I read when I have to. And yea totally, but I like books on piloting and crap. They're amazing!" Her eyes widened at the idea of reading about her dearly beloved flying hero's. She loved anything to do with flying, right down to biology on the physics of flight in birds.

Speaking of which ... "You think?" Tilting her head Donna looked up a little in thought. She had normally only gone out with much older guys. Her last boyfriend was 19, and Gavin was most definitely not 19. Although he did look kinda hot. The wings where a good look on him, and that hair ... Donna had fought the urge to reach out and play with it before. It was just so ... inviting. "I guess I could give it a shot. The guy taken? I could fix it even if he is, I have my ways. But yea, totally. The guys hot, and I mean Icarus flying too close to the sun kinda hot." Winking at her little guide Donna felt a smirk come onto her face. she was not normally so open to talk to someone so new

Not as much as she had with Kate anyway. "You know what Chickie, you may have given me an idea. Icarus could be fun, I'll get to work whenever I get 'round to seeing him next." With a small laugh she felt her face brighten a little as one of the most girlish phrases passed through her lips. "So tell me, whats the cowboy like? He's right sweet. And boy-o does he have a body you could wash clothes on!" She laughed at herself as she stood with Kate. A new friend perhaps, depending on how the next few days would go.

[D'mnchyld]

"Disney again? Oh man, look I'm gonna level with you on this. You better leave that shit in your childhood kid, cause I really think that if anybody else but me or that cowboy boyfriend of mine found out 'bout that, they'd probably tease the crap outta ya." K'8 gave her a blinky eyed stare, a most matter of fact sort of look to let all she had said just then sink in, and waited until Donna was about to say something else before cutting her off to talk some more.

"As for 'Chicken George', well he is the songwriting artist type and he sorta dates here and there I guess," she shrugged "but he's not an 'easy' guy like some of the man-sluts we have running around here. I'm pretty sure he went on a date with Heather just last night, the blond.... you know, our team mate... from the barn? The one he went looking for? But I don't know what kinda arrangement they have."

She walked around in the library for a little bit with Donna telling her about Karma and the Alpha squad. Since they could often be found in the library doing their little projects, she was sure she'd see them but they were nowhere to be found. "Hmm, I was almost like a'hundurd percent that Karma'd be here with the kiddies. Oh man, wonder where they went? Guess we better just head up to the offices and get you checked in with somebody. C'mon, yo!" She waved her out of the big booky smelling library and onward down the hall. "Hey, and cool it with the ogling my guy cause you do NOT want to get my blood boiling I promise you that Apple."

[Apogee]

"Yea? I'd probably tease me too." With a shake of her head she noticed one of the books on the shelves and picked it up, fingering the front of it before opening to the first couple of pages. Seeing there was nothing of great interest she out it back with a short shrug of her shoulders. "There’s nowt wrong being different darlin, you’d be surprised how many gals back home got a Disney thing going. Not like I wanna move into Disneyland or something." Shrugging again she carried on along the shelves, looking for something to catch her eye.

Of course, nothing did. If it wasn't big bright and bold, or didn't have planes in it she wouldn't touch it.

As the two girls continued the conversation including the younger groups and even a bit of talk on Donnas new interest Icarus Donna gathered that this place held a bit more than it showed on the outside. That was cool with her, she liked something different. The whole mutant thing was a god-send. This place was amazing, and her parents got time to themselves while she got to travel to a new continent and experience another culture. Of sorts.

As she was led out into the hallway the welsh wonder raised her hands up in a surrendering pose. "Hey chick, cool it. I was only window shopping, don't mean I'm gonna go try him on for size. He's outa my price range!" She said with a held back smile. It was so difficult not to just smile at Kate, something about her made Donna want to joke about and laugh. No more than usual, but odd for a single person. "Anyway, I got my eye on a Greek god, Icarus better watch out, or his Nymph may turn into a goblin." With a short under her breath laugh Donna walked on. Led by the Goth chick, wondering how long it would take for any sort of authorative figure to appear.

[D'mnchyld]

"Cool it?...Did you just say 'cool it' to me?" D'mnchyld was not one of those jealous types, but it was something in the way the girl was coming off. It was somewhat like how Alex had done when he first arrived, that way of being so much more badass than they really are, or something like that. She wondered if they weren't meant for one another, she would have to see when they had a moment together what their litter runt and this new join might be like together, K'8 ever the observant one.

"Girl you have a lot to learn. I'm not being mean or anything, but wow. You gonna talk about a guy who you don't know and who you just saw kiss me, like that? Hey I hope you play it cool with Gavin and Heather because she's a friend and I don't know if he's still in the 'available column', but he's cool too. So just relax, damn." she shook her head as the pair walked along she hoped she didn't just give the green light to this new girl simply by being uninformed of Aqua and StormHawk's personal business.

She was so glad when she came to the bend in the hall and knew that right around it would be Emma's office. She was still new at being friendly and social, even though she was willing this new girl was trying her patience. It seemed it was all about her and she didn't make much sense. To Katie she was a pile of contradictions piled up and she really had no more time to deal with her. She talked about being different but then saying how she was one of a big group made little sense. She said she wanted to be a pilot but even K'8 knew if she didn't like to study or read she'd never learn what she needed.

"Ahh here we go." she knocked hard on the door. "It's our Headmistresses office. Hope she's here, cause she'd be the best one to see I think." Please Ms.Frost, please be in there... this new girl is already grating on my nerves and I'm totally trying to stay upbeat and cool with everybody. I mean she's alright, but she is... well, you'll see.. ohhh c'mon please be in here. She turned to smile at Donna saying "Really, I hope you heard what I was saying, cause you gotta know I am just tryin to help you. I could leave you to fend for yourself but, I dunno... lately I've been trying to be a bit more of an angel."
