• It was a cold Monday morning, she woke up not from the alarm clock, but from the suns rays that crept through the cracks of the blinds and reached her eyes, "uhh....", she moans while pulling the cover up over her face, but she knew that when she woke up early she couldn't go back to sleep. Swinging the cover off of her she sat up, her hands on her lap. Vanessa yawns before getting out of her bed, she stretches out her arms and legs, joints popping as she did. Too lazy to place on her clothes she just leaves her room in her sleeping attire which consisted of a sold red long sleeved shirt with solid white shorts. Walking down the hall way she could see that everyone was still asleep, she grins before turning a corner and then knocking on a door, Kurt's door, she could hear a soft 'bamf', then the door opening, Vanessa could tell he had been sleeping from the look on his face, "oh, I'm sorry", Vanessa said before yawning, "I didn't know you were asleep", she told him before smiling, now that they were both awake she could talk to him, "so can I come in?", she asked, but the blue German quickly stopped her, "nein! I.... I mean, I am still tired mein freund", Kurt told her before shutting his door, she tilts her head to the side, her hand rubbing the back of her neck, "well that was weird".

    Heading down to the kitchen she saw Remy sitting on a chair, playing with his cards, he raised his head up to see her, "ah, good mornin' ", he said while winking at her, she roles her eyes. Opening up the fridge she grabbed her carton of vanilla soy milk and placed it on the table, Remy looked the carton over, "soy, milk? Dat's new", he said while reading the ingredients on the side, "no, it's not new, it's been around for quiet some time now", Vanessa told him before grabbing a box of Raisin Brand and a bowl, along with a spoon and placed them on the table, "heh, I'll jus stick with milk", Remy said before shuffling his cards, Vanessa scrunched up her face, "uhg, what's so good about milk, it has no taste at all", she said before pouring the cereal into the bowl, Remy looked over at her while she placed the cereal back into the cabinet, he looked her over, her body was shaped perfectly, his head tilts to the side to get a better view of her butt but she turned around before he could actually see, "well petite", he said while grinning, "milk is da sweet nectar of da cow, and it provides us with vitamins dat help us to grow", he stands up to show his height, Vanessa shrugs, "sweet nectar", she chuckles, "yeah, okay I guess". Remy watched her pour the soy milk in her bowl and then place it back into the fridge, while doing that he crept up behind her, shutting the fridge before she could, Vanessa spun around, "back off", she told him, but he didn't, his hands rest upon the cold metal of the fridge, "don' act so tough, petite amie", Remy said while plucking out one of his cards and placing it in her hand, she was reluctant to take it but found herself gripping it, he leaned in close, she turns her head, "happy birthday", he whispered in her ear before backing away and leaving the kitchen. Vanessa looked at the card, it had seven red diamonds on it, "what kind of present is this?"

    Her day was pretty good, except for the constant whispers that happened when ever she passed by the students, she felt as if she had something on her face or something along those lines, but it wasn't. She tried talking to Logan when he was either taking a smoke or just standing to take in mother natures beauty, but he would turn in a different direction or just ignore her, same with everyone else. Laying in Ororo's green house garden she began to relax, enjoying the many pleasant fragrances until she fell asleep. It wasn't long before she woke up again, the light was replaced by darkness, "oh man, how long was I asleep?", she asked herself, but the only response was a light chuckle, heading out of the room she noticed that all the lights were off, only the full moons light guided her, some what, "I can't see anything", she said while many thoughts made their way into her head, "oh my god", she whispered to herself, "what if.... they abandoned the academy", she said in a low voice, she reached a pitch black hall way, "or a really important mission, and everyone had to go", Vanessa bit her lip softly, "what if I'm the only one left on Earth....", she leans on the wall, she covers her mouth and began to laugh, at all these crazy thoughts flooding her mind. The laughter stops when she heard shuffling down the hall, she looks down to see a shadow pass by, "hey wait!", she said while running after them, she almost tripped a couple of times, "this isn't funny", she said while heading down the stairs and down the hall to the living room, she could see them heading in and as she came in the lights flashed, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!", Vanessa took a few steps back, her heart almost ripping out of her chest, "holy.... mother of god", Vanessa said before resting in a near by chair, her legs gave way and her, everyone was here, she smiled softly, but a frown soon took over, she looks over at Ororo who walks over towards her, "happy birthday", she said while hugging her, "I'm thankful for all of this, but I never wanted to have a party", Vanessa told her, Ororo looked down at her, "we knew that, but we still wanted to have it, for you", Ororo admits, "now come enjoy you birthday party".

    She sat on a chair, presents surrounded her, "wow, this is.... a lot", she said, Kurt quickly took his gift and hands it to Vanessa, "so this is what you've been hiding", Vanessa said with a smirk, Kurt smiles,"ja, open it", he told her, she could see the excitement in his eyes as she unwrapped it. It was a blue sweeter, "I made it myself", Kurt told her, Vanessa was surprised at how well he made it, "this is awesome", she said while placing it on, it was soft, and smelled of Kurt, she turns to him, he blushed a light purple, but before he could speak Logan had brought his gift, it was wrapped in cloth, everyone was curious of what it was, even her. She carefully removed the cloth until she saw something red, then she pulled it off, "a katana!", Ororo said, she gave Logan a look that told him she was angry with him, but Logan ignored her to look at Vanessa unsheathe the red blade, "the blade, it's red", she looks up at Logan who pointed out something, "it's made out of adamantium", he told her, "the person who made it had accidentally placed somethin' in it to make it red, luckily I passed by his shop before he through it away", Vanessa couldn't imagine someone throwing such a beautiful weapon away. She sheathed it back into its red holder, Vanessa looked at Logan before smiling, "thank you so much", she said he grins, "you're welcome kid". Ororo had given her a dress, saying that she needed to dress more girly, she even brought high heals and make up, Rogue brough her a pair of black fingerless gloves and cool looking ripped jeans, Scott brought her a shirt that said, 'I'm here, deal with it', Bobby and Kitty brought her a mountain bike, Hank got her a bunch of mathematical items, tell her that she might need it in the future, Emma gave her a diamond necklace, along with matching ear rings, the Professor along with the help of Hank and Emma designed a uniform just for her.

    After the gifts she felt mentally exhausted, "so many gifts", she said while looking at the card Remy had given her, she felt like throwing it in the garbage, but couldn't, it was a gift so she couldn't, she raised an eyebrow, where was Remy anyways? She crossed her arms, 'so he has the nerve to show up any other time but not my birthday', she thought, she could feel her cheeks growing hot, "Vanessa, it's like, time for cake", Kitty said before grabbing some plates, "oh, right", Vanessa stood up and walked over to the table, she saw the number seventeen, "blow out the candle", Ororo said, she held a camera, Vanessa felt something was about to happen, "uh, okay then.... I'm blowing out the candles", Vanessa said before blowing it out, a second later she found her face in the cake. Logan and Bobby has been the culprits, "what a waste of cake", Vanessa said before grabbing a handful and slapping it in Logan's face, he grunts but then smirked, "so that's how ya want to play this game", he said before using the back of his hand to wipe the cake from his face, "Logan, no!", but Ororo was too late, Logan had taken two handful's of cake and smacked it in Bobby and Kitty's face's, "haha!", Rogue laughed, "cake fight!", she yelled, and like that everyone even Ororo began to throw cake, Kurt was the only one who seemed to be clean, so Logan and the Vanessa advised a plan to get him in on the game as well, "ahh!", Vanessa fell to the grown hard, "my ankle!" she said before crying in pain, Kurt quickly came to her side, "let me- -!!", but before he could finish what he was saying Vanessa put cake right in his face, everyone began to laugh, "got you Kurt", Vanessa said before kissing his cake covered cheek along with the other girls, Kurt smiled, his fangs showing. He helps her up but in return placed cake in her face as well, "Kurt!", Vanessa said before bursting out in laughter.

    Cake was every where, so everyone who had been apart of the cake fight had to clean it all up, Vanessa had been in the bathroom along with other girls who had been cleaning their face and taking chunks of cake from their hair, good thing she had a hat on. Coming out of the bathroom she could see a a dark figure heading up the steps, "Remy?", she wasn't sure but when the red eyes gazed at her she knew it was him, she made sure she wasn't seen by anyone and ran up the stairs to head after him. Vanessa opens up her room, anger starting to rise, "get out of my room, and take your card back", Vanessa ordered before reaching over for the light switch, but a hand gripped her arm, stopping her from doing so, "get your hand off of me before I tell Logan", she told him, Remy grinned, his free hand caressing the side of her jaw line, "do as you wish, belle femme", Remy said before pulling her towards him, her cheeks grew warm, he took the card from her back pocket, then flung it to the side, "da card wasn't your gift", he leans in closer until his lips brushed against his, "I am", was all he said before pressing his lips hungrily against hers. Vanessa had given in once he planted that kiss on her, she didn't know why, maybe it was some sort of power he had, that had to be it, Remy pressed her against the wall, his hands moving to her hips, to her stomach, and then up to her shoulders, she breaks the kiss to catch her breath, he kissed the soft flesh of her neck, feeling the quickness of her pulse as he did, she grips onto his shirt, then pushed him away, he takes a few steps back, his breathing a bit off, as well as hers. Vanessa looked at him, as did he, ".... m' emmener....", she said in French, not knowing if she had said it right or not, Remy took off his shirt, showing how well built he was, he throws it aside before walking over to her, his arms wrapped around her waist in order to lift her up off the ground. He sits on the edge of the bed, while Vanessa lay on his lap, both kissing like they wouldn't see one another again, she traced her index finger along his abs and then up to his cheek, he pulled her closer until no space had been left between them.

    A sudden knock on her door interrupted their intimate moment, Remy had been kissing her neck so she answered, "y-yeah, who is it?", she asked, Remy put her in a different seated position, now her legs were wrapped around him, "it's me, Ororo, is everything okay?", Ororo asked, Vanessa was worried, "yeah, just changing", a slight gasp escaped her as Remy ran his hand up her shirt, "what was that?", a bit of worry in her voice, "n-nothing, a bit of cake fell in my eye", Vanessa lied, but Ororo wanted to check for herself, "may I come in?", Remy pulled Vanessa close, "um, sure, let me just.... put my shirt on", Remy looked at her, his hand placed on her cheek, "maybe some other time", he said before kissing her, she got off of him, in order for him to obtain his shirt, he made his way to the balcony and left, leaving her alone. Walking up to the door she unlocked it then opens it, she saw Ororo, a bit of cake in her white hair, "come in".
