Ally hadn't been out for a while, but she felt it was time to go back to school.She had been laying low, keeping a low profile to make sure people wouldn't be knocking down her door. But in all actuality, Ally missed going to school, she missed dealing with other people her age and all the bull crap that entailed. Ally looked around as she wiggled in her seat, waiting quietly as the driver drove around the bend that led to the mansion. As the man drove through the gates, a smile crept along her face, why would they leave them open?

Anyone could just waltz in couldn't they.But then with that thought came another. Xaviers opened their door to anyone who needed their help. And she was in need of help.

As the driver came to a stop he tilted his head back to her and shurgged his shoulders, "Here youare kid, Xaviers," he said with a strong Brooklynn accent. Ally smiledto him as she pulled our a ten and a five and handed it to him, " Thanks!" With that Ally pullled her hair back into a ponytail,and stepped out of the car.

The taxi driver was nice enough to help her with her bags. She had gotten some money and clothes from workinng at some diner. It was more than she had back at the orphanage. It was great to be on her own for awhile but now she felt it was time to go back to school. As she knocked on the door softly the man waited next to her, holding her bags patiently.

Getting annoyed with waiting, Ally walked in waving a hand behind her telling the man to follow her in. He looked at her as if he was annoyed but came in anyway.As they stood there in the foyer, Ally watched as students walked past her doing their own little thing....

Ally's BackTo School Gear

Alana had just gotten out of class, and she was going to go do some reading. She walked past the door to the mansion just as a couple of people entered. They looked out of place, so Alana assumed they must be looking for something, or maybe hoping that they could come to school here.

She walked over to them.

"Hello, I'm Alana, are you new to the school?"

Upon closer inspection, the man seemed to not want to be here, he seemed to just be carrying the girl's stuff.

"Do you need me to carry some of your things?"

Ally smiled as the girl walked over, "Yeah does it show, I just got here, and yeah, she said looking over her shoulder over to the man shuffling his feet holding her bags, "That would be fabulous." With that she walked over to the man and snatched her bags away, "Thank you."

As she grabbed her bags, Ally felt her phone begin to ring. Ally answered her phone. The song Glee version of Safety Dance rang through-out the hall and she felt her cheeks grow red. Ally hurried and answered her phone, "Hello," she said as she slung her bag over her shoulder, "Hey...Yeah I'm here. Thanks for checking, No I haven't seen any of the X-men yet...," Ally looked over at the girl and felt her smile widen, "Hey I will talk to you later." With out waiting for them to say anything else Ally hung up her phone and slipped it back into her pocket, it still peeking out of her pocket.

With no ideal of what to do next, Ally shuffled her own fete as the Taxi driver left, leaving the door wide open. Ally sniffed the air and smelled power. It was weird how she could still sense a powerful mutant around her, "So I'm Allysa Maldune, its nice to meet you! Where can find a bathroom? I've had to go and had to hold it in the car." She smiled at the girl her fangs gleaming in the light.

Alana took the bags and kinda laughed to herself when the girl's phone rang. She had no reason to be embarassed, and that's what Alana was laughing at mostly.

"Yea it's right over here, I'll show you the way. By the way, why are you looking for the X-Men?"

Alana was a cadet, so she didn't really know if she counted, but something just didn't seem right, maybe she was overprotective of the mansion, but there was an inkling this girl could be up to something, she would watch her.

The found their way to the bathroom. It wasn't that far away from the entrance.

"Here it is."

Ally slung the bag further onto her shoulder and said in a huff, "My friend was like asking me if I would call him if I see any of them. He has the hots for the guy with the claws." She smiled and walked towards where she had said where the bathroom was. As she slipped into the bathroom, Ally dropped her bag and raced to the stall.

As she finished Ally washed her hands and looked at her reflection, "Keep your game face on girl..." Ally combed her fingers though her hair and then flicked her hair. Ally stepped out of the bathroom and smiled at Alana, asking her, "Okay, now I feel better. So where do we head now?" She didn't know whether she would get a room right then and there or would she have to wait and talk to someone to get situated.

Looking around, Ally looked in awe at the mansion. She was really going to love it there. She had heard that that they had a huge pool and everything. She screamed in her head at the top of her lungs, anticipating on when she would get a tour of the whole mansion. She planned on leaping into the pool as soon as it was in her sights. She giggled to herself as she plotted her little plan, her fangs revealing themselves as a smile crept right back across her face. "So are am I going to have to wait on a teacher or something," she asked her walking in a little circle looking up and around her surroundings.

The guy with the claws...that could be about a half a dozen people, but she probably means Wolverine.

While the girl was in the bathroom, Alana adjusted her hair a little bit. The girl came out and asked where to go next.

"Well we should go put your stuff in a room for you...um, what is your name?"

Alana thought that would be a good place to start. After all, if they did that first, they wouldn't have to lug her bags around everywhere. Then they could get the rest of the living here set up.

Ally nodded to her, "So where will my room be? And the name is Allysa, Allysa Maldune," she said holding out her hand.

She looked around and stared up at the stairs, "Are the rooms here co-ed?" It wasn't like she wanted them to be, but she was just wondering....

Allysa Maldune, she would remember it. She wasn't sure if she was up to something, but Alana would make sure she paid for it if she did. Alana began leading her up to the dorm rooms.

"The rooms are upstairs, and they aren't co-ed, they are seperated. Not that it stops things if you want them to happen."

She started up the stairs with Allysa hopefully trailing behind her. She had an idea, a way to get to know and watch her. She didn't know how it would go, but she could attempt it.

"I actually don't have a roomate right now, so you could be my roomate, but you can get your own room if you want."

Ally smiled at her as they climbed up the steps. It was fine for her, she didn't really care whether or not the room were co-ed, it was just a question. In fact she was kind of relieved by it. She would be able to have a regular room. It would be like her first steps in becoming a real teenager. Here she would be able to just be normal, well as close to normal that she could be.

"I actually don't have a roomate right now, so you could be my roomate, but you can get your own room if you want."

Allysa had been in her own little world when the girl had offered her a room to share. It was real nice of her, she seemed like she cared. "I am like so new here, any room would be fine for me. I would love to share a room with you." She smiled and continued walking with her, smiling from ear to ear. It seemed like she was gaining some friends already.

Alana smiled when Allysa said she would be her roomate. This would be a fun experience, if she turned out to be legit. She kept walking until she reached her....no, their room, and opened the door.

The room was practically spotless, and it was clear which things Alana had claimed as her own, expecially the pink covers on her bed.

"This is your new room, I will make space for your clothes and we can rearrange later if you want."

She put the bags she was carrying down near the other bed.

"Your probably going to want to talk to Headmistress Munroe or another member of the staff to get started at school, I don't know where they are right now, but if you just walk around you will probably find them or someone who knows where they are."

Alana smiled. She really was useless at the moment. She could lead her to the offices, but Alana was making her explore by not telling her.

"So, if you don't mind me asking, what can you do?"

As they climbed the stairs Ally felt quite smug, she was finally going back to school. She was in a place that was accepting of her and she wouldn't have to deal with ignorance from people who didn't understand her. Alana seemed to be really nice so far. But once they reached the room, Ally's face blanched. The room was full of pink, and it was enough to make her want to puke. She had never been one to like the color pink. It was just to girls for her.


"This is your new room, I will make space for your clothes and we can rearrange later if you want."

Once all her bags was in the room an own HER new bed, Ally smiled,"I love it, it is just fine. I will add some posters and stuff, but for now I love it." It truly was perfect. Ally most of the time got hand me downs when she was back in the orphanage. But since she had gotten out she had been trying to get her own things even if she had to steal them. But now she had her own things and they were all legit, well at least most of them.

"Your probably going to want to talk to Headmistress Munroe or another member of the staff to get started at school, I don't know where they are right now, but if you just walk around you will probably find them or someone who knows where they are."

A Headmistress? Wow that was different. She had never really met one, beyond seeing them in movies and stuff. "Cool, well I guess I will just go walking I guess. I want to see what the school looks like."

"So, if you don't mind me asking, what can you do?"

Ally smiled and flicked her tongue against a fang and let her eyes give that faint pulse that she did with her old victims, "I have to ability to drain a person of their blood and gain either their strength and/or their own abilities. I love the power to tell the truth." Ally hoped she wasnt creeping the girl out. Ally dropped the bag she was holding on her bed and walked towards the door, "So are you gonna be exploring with me?"

She liked power, huh. That didn't ease the suspicion, but Alana was still fine. Her power was quite weak, she knew it, it was something she was working on bettering, and if Ally tried anything while Alana was awake, well, she had an X-Men badge, and, well, she could keep her from getting close.

"That's actually pretty cool. It gives you variablity. I bet it feels weird bitng people though."

It would to her. She was kind of reserved. She didn't even have time to think about boys lately. She was a workaholic since the Sentinel incident.

"Yea, I'll go with you, you just lead the way."

"That's actually pretty cool. It gives you variability. I bet it feels weird biting people though. Yea, I'll go with you, you just lead the way."

Ally smiled at the girl,"It is isn't?! I don't know how to control all the power I get all the way. Its like playing a game for the first time, I have to learn the tricks," She said laughing to herself, "As for the biting part, It is actually kind of fun." And with that, Ally slipped out the door, waving a hand at the girl to follow, heading back down the steps. Looking behind her to see if Alana was following, Ally smiled up at kids that were going about the day waving like a lunatic. So far it seemed as if she had made a new friend. The girl seemed like she wasn't creeped out with her powers either.

As they reached the base of the stairs Ally turned back to look at Alana, "So where is the kitchen? I am kind of thirsty, then you can show me around if you have the time." Ally didn't want to boss the girl around , but she was just so excited. She couldn't keep a smile from creeping along her face.
