Chapter #4Orientation by: pwog   Sarah awoke to the sound of rain pelting against her bedroom window. If she were back in Maine that sound would encourage her to close her eyes and go back to sleep. However, this was the start of her first full day at the X-Mansion and she wasn’t going to waste a minute. Besides Sarah was a Mainer and a little bit of weather wasn’t going to dampen her spirit. She had plenty of time for a run, shower and breakfast before she had to report for the orientation that was scheduled that morning. Sarah put on her running clothes and headed down the stairs and out the front door. She headed towards the rear of the mansion. She ran past the Olympic-sized pool, basketball court and continued along one of the carriage trails that intertwine around Breakstone Lake. She didn’t see anyone else out and about, but that suited her fine, as she enjoyed the solitude.
After breakfast Sarah and a few other new students drifted out of the cafeteria and headed for the classroom where their orientation was being held. Sarah found herself walking alongside two boys. “Hi”, she said, “I’m Sarah”. The boy on her right said, “Hi, I’m Allen and this is Zack”. “How long have you guys been here?” Sarah asked. “We both got here yesterday afternoon”, Zack answered, “how about you?” “I got here late yesterday afternoon.” Sarah said. The three of them continued down the hall when suddenly the air around them erupted with the sound of three Bamfs materializing immediately in front of them. The Bamfs were infatuated with Sarah. “Whoa, what do we have here!” the closest Bamf said, lewdly. Another one of the Bamfs chortled, “I love the arrival of newbies. This one can give Kitty a ride for her money. I think I’m in love.” The third little blue creature reached out and grabbed the hat Sarah had on her head and then “Bamf” he was gone. The other two Bamfs were laughing hysterically. It all happened so fast the three new students were dumbfounded. A small group of students stopped to watch the antics of the Bamfs, when Wolverine came charging through yelling furiously, “Damn you Beast for opening that portal letting these little blue buggers in!” At the sight of Wolverine bearing down on them the remaining two Bamfs disappeared.
“What the hell just happened?” Sarah said to Allen and Zack. “I have no idea!” they both said simultaneously. “I have a feeling we’ll find out at orientation,” Allen said, as they entered the classroom. Standing at the front of the classroom was Kitty Pryde, Wolverine, Storm and Iceman. “Everybody grab a seat and let’s get started”, Wolverine rumbled. As everyone grabbed a seat and then quieted down, Krakoa, taking the form of a tree, tapped frantically on the window with one of its limbs. “Ah, guys I hate to interrupt, but I think you need to get out here now!” he boomed.
