Long time no see everyone. I really hope you enjoy this re-write, and instead of a flashback like you got in the original you actually get a prologue. Now, Danni's going to look just a little bit different but she'll still be the character I hope you loved. She will be 15 when this story starts, as opposed to 14, to make her the same age as Kitty, and it takes place in 2014-2015 for the first season I believe, i'm not entirely sure, but it starts around new years so yeah! Also I've made her a sophomore, she's a bit older than kitty, a bit younger than kurt, I'm pretty sure kurts a sophomore. I'm going to use a journal entry method for major time skips and starts of chapters I think, we'll see how that goes.

Please enjoy, and let me know if you think i've improved!

I love you all and I'm glad to be back!

Hello again! oh.. why did I just say hello to myself? oh well, i'm to lazy to erase it, so hello me! i'm danni! nice to meet you danni, i'm danni!

wow i'm lame, alright let's just get this over with, i got cheese cubes waiting for me downstairs.

today is new year's and everyone is super excited. Honestly i'm pretty indifferent about it. Everyone has been asking me about my new year's resolution. I never really understood the point of those, and besides even when I did have them I never stuck to them. Get this, just to get them off my back, I told them this year I was going to get a boyfriend, hahahaha! man I couldn't do that even if I tried! oh well. This will probably be my last entry in this notebook. It's been a nice run pink fluffy notebook I got when I was 8! but I think it's time I put you out to pasture, especially now that I've got this super cool notebook with, get this, a blank cover! I can draw on it and make it look all dorky and stuff. It's been fun though, we'll always have our memories!

"Danni! Come downstairs please! It's almost midnight!" I heard my mom call from downstairs.

"Sure thing mom!" I shouted back through my closed door. "Just one sec!" I looked back to my notebook and smiled before closing it for the final time. I opened my desk drawer and tossed the notebook inside before sliding it shut and running downstairs. My mom met me at the bottom of the stairs and smiled at me, causing her bright green eyes to squint through her thin framed glasses. I pushed up my own glasses and hugged her. She pat my back and gently lead me towards the kitchen. We walked into the kitchen and my dad walked up to my mom, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. He turned to me and ruffled my hair before turning to the clock. He smiled.

"Happy new years!" the three of us shouted together. After many minutes of hugs and kisses my dad ruffled my hair and sent me up to bed. I walked into my room and closed the door behind me. I turned to my mirror and I smiled sadly at myself. I really liked the way my hair turned out, I just dyed it electric blue the other day and it turned out pretty cool. I grabbed a brush and brushed it down to its full length, down to my shoulders, and pulled it back. My bangs still hung over my blue-grey eyes and I blew it over to the side. I looked at myself for a moment before standing sideways and placing a hand on my stomach. I sighed sadly and turned away from the mirror and crawled into bed.

Today is the first day back to school, and let me tell you I am not looking forward to it. Oh I'm using that new notebook by the way, It's pretty cool, I drew chibi Kingdom Hearts Characters on it and it looks super nerdy and cute. Anyway, yeah not looking forward to school. I love my hair, but knowing Ann she'll probably make fun of it, she makes fun of everything I do. Nothing I can really do about it though, I wasn't pretty enough to be her friend so she just decided I was her new target, at least I took it away from Lily. She moved away over break, so I'm sure she's making friends in her new home, she's a really nice girl. Well, time to walk to school, wish me luck!

I closed the notebook and looked at myself in the mirror. Baggy black pullover, skinny jeans, and blue sneakers.. yup.. that's me.. I sighed. No wonder Ann picks on me, I'm so asking for it. I shook my head and stood up. I ran downstairs and grabbed my backpack. I walked into the kitchen to quickly make some coffee when I heard my mom on the phone.

"I already told you, Professor," my mom sounded angry. She was never angry.. who was that? "Nothing is wrong and we don't need your help!" she slammed the phone back down on the receiver.

".. Mom?" I asked hesitantly. "Who was that..? She jumped and turned to me then smiled and pulled me into a hug.

"No one, Danni." she kissed my head. "Don't you worry about it, ok? Have a great first day back to school." I smiled and kissed her cheek, hugging her one last time before I ran out of the door.

Living in Florida meant, sadly, no snow. I had lived in Washington when I was younger, but we moved here when I was eight. I looked down at the sidewalk the entire 5 minute walk. When I got to the school I looked at the doors and took a deep breath. I walked through the doors. There were only a few people in the hallway, it was a pretty small school. I readjusted my backpack and started to walk. I heard a high pitched giggle behind me and I could literally feel my headache start.

"Nice hair, Blue." I rolled my eyes and turned around. There she stood, blonde hair pulled into a tight braid, blue eyes surrounded in layers of makeup.

"What do you want, Ann?" I said with a bored tone. She giggled again, and the barbie dolls on either side of her echoed her laughter.

"Oh absolutely nothing." she said, twirling a strand of hair. "You, however, clearly want some attention." I rolled my eyes again and turned around, walking to class. I could hear her giggling from down the hall and I swear my ears started to bleed.

I walked into class and sat down at my desk. I pulled out my notes and tried to do some quick studying before the test started. I was terrible at history, just awful. No matter how hard I tried I could never get above a D in that class. I was slightly better in algebra. Mostly C's and an occasional B. I managed to pull my weight in Science and I never got below a B in english. I looked down at my notes for the hundredth time in the last two days alone, but no matter how hard I tried nothing clicked. I groaned and slumped down in my chair. I'm going to fail… The bell rang and I stuffed my notes back into my bag. Mr. Rayman walked out of his office and picked up a pack of papers from his desk.

"As you are all well aware, today is exam day." he started to pass out the papers. "Now I hope you all studied because this test is worth twenty percent of your final grade." I groaned as he put the test on my desk. I tried, I really really did, but I was halfway through the test and had guessed on every single answer. I was about to bubble in the last answer when suddenly something clicked in the back of my head and I quickly erased all of my answers and started again from the beginning. Almost all of my answers were different this time around, and I had no idea how I knew, but somehow I knew they were right this time. I was the tenth person in class to finish and I walked up to turn it in. Mr. Rayman took if from me and began to grade it as I walked back to my desk. I sat there for a few minutes, just looking out the window, trying to imagine what the school yard would look like covered in snow. Mr. Rayman smashed his hand on his desk causing everyone in the class to jump.

"Danielle Williams, go to the office this instant!" he shouted. I was shocked.

"W-what? Why? What did I..?"

"Office. Now!" he shouted again. He stood up and I followed quickly after. He stomped angrily down the hall and I sped after him, trying to figure out what was going on. He threw open the door and marched up to the principal's desk.

"Arthur? What's the matter?" Mr. Green asked. Mr. Rayman slammed my test on the desk and Mr. Green looked at it wide eyed. "One hundred percent?" I felt my eyes widen.

"She cheated." Mr. Rayman said.

"What?!" I shouted. "No I didn't!"

"Don't even try Miss Williams, you couldn't have improved that quickly." Mr. Rayman glared at me and I turned pleadingly to my principle. He shook his head.

"I'm sorry Miss Williams." Mr. Green said as the bell rang. "I'm going to have to call your parents." I felt my heart sink. "Please head to your next class." I let out a frustrated sigh and stomped out of the office and to my locker. I opened it up and grabbed my algebra textbook. And then I heard his voice. I glanced to the side and smiled softly. Noah, the most popular guy in school, but also probably the nicest. Sadly he had no idea who I was. I sighed and turned back to my locker just as it was slammed closed. I jumped and turned to the side. Ann, of course. She smiled sickly at me.

"Oh Blue, please tell me you're still not throwing gogo eyes at Noah." She laughed and pushed some hair out of her face. "I mean I know he's nice to you and all, but you know he'd never like you, right?" She chuckled again and pursed her lips. " I mean who would?" she snickered. "Look at you." I could feel my anger rising. "And I totally knew that you just wanted attention." shut. up. "I mean you cheated on Mr. Raymans test? Haha! How desperate are you?" I looked down and closed my eyes, trying to calm down. "Just stop trying to stand out for god's sake. I mean, it's not like you're ever going to be anything special anyway."

"Ann, for once would you please shut up!" I heard a very loud bang and when I looked up Ann was looking at me terrified. I looked to my right and saw my fist against the locker. Only there was now a huge dent in it. I stared at it wide eyed.

"Would Danielle Williams please come to the office prepared to leave?" Mr. Green said over the speaker. "Thank you." Everyone in the hallway was staring at me and I swear I was about to cry. I picked up my backpack and ran towards the office. My mom was inside. She took one look at me and opened her arms. I ran to her and cried into her chest as she pet back my hair and whispered that everything would be ok. After a few moments she pulled away and lead me to the car. I pulled my knees to my chest and stared out the windows, halfheartedly trying to count the trees as we speed past them.

"I didn't cheat…" I mumbled.

"I know you didn't sweetie…." She said. I glanced up at the back of her head and smiled at her. "... A.. A man called last week.. He said his name was Xavier. I.. I think you should give him a call when you get home.." I looked out the window again.

"Ok." She pulled into the driveway and I stepped out of the car.

"His number is on the fridge." I nodded as I walked through the door and set my backpack on the bench. I walked over to the fridge and pulled the sticky note with his number off before walking over to the home phone.

I dialed the number and as it started to ring I read the sticky note. Professor Xavier of Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters. The other line clicked.

"Hello?"

"Uh Hi." I stuttered. "Um is this.. Professor Xavier?.. Of Xavier Institute..?"

"Yes it is." the man responded. "How may I help you?"

"My name is Danni.. Danni Williams.. My mom said you called last week.. She said I should call you."

"Ah yes, Miss Williams." He said. "I've been waiting to hear from you. If I'm not mistaken, you've experienced something you can't explain, something extraordinary." I stood up straighter.

"Well.. Well yeah.. H-How did you know?" he chuckled softly.

"It's my job to know about youngsters like you Danni. I'm very glad you called. You have a gift, I would love if you came to the Institute and learned how to use it."

1-9-15

So I am currently on a train heading to New York.. I have no Idea when I'm going to get there so I'm writing one of these.. God it's been a hectic week. My parents let me stay home so that's good but in doing so I broke maybe six glasses, twelve plates, and the fridge handle.. I mean I guess I'm better at it now, I haven't broken anything on the train. Oh, super awesome thing though, I'm like super agile and athletic now, I started to slide down the stairs and I ended up doing a front flip and landing it.. yeah.. I mean I didn't break my neck so i'm not complaining but it was still weird. My eyes are getting lighter too, they're basically silver now.

The train jolted to a stop and I quickly tucked my notebook inside one of my suitcases. With me I had more or less all of my clothes, my favorite books, as well as my guitar, I almost never went anywhere without it. I carried my guitar on my shoulder and picked up my suitcases. I stepped out of the train and looked around for the professor.

"Danni, I presume?" I turned and saw a man in a wheelchair accompanied by a pretty african american woman.

"Yeah." I smiled and extended my hand. "You must be Professor Xavier." He nodded and shook my hand.

"Yes." He gestured to the woman next to him. "This is Ororo." I shook her hand and she smiled warmly at me.

"It is a pleasure to have you here with us, Danni." She said.

"Thank you." I said.

"Come." The professor said. "The others will want to meet you." We walked out to the car. I put my bags in the trunk and sat In the back. Ororo, who was driving, looked to me for a moment.

"So, Danni." she said. "You play guitar?" I smiled and nodded. "How long have you been playing?" I thought for a moment.

"Hmm.. three… two and a half years?" I answered.

"That's a long time." She smiled. "Once you meet the others, I'm sure they would love if you played for us sometime." I smiled again.

"I'd love to." The car stopped and we all climbed/rolled out. I went to the back and grabbed my things. I looked to the building and felt my eyes widen.

"It's huge!" I exclaimed. I heard a chuckle from my left. When I looked there were three more people. The first, a boy, probably a senior, with brown hair and red sunglasses. The second, a girl, roughly the same age, with red hair and pretty green eyes, and the third, a boy around my age with black hair and blue eyes. I felt myself shrink further into my sweater.

"That's what most people say." said the boy with sunglasses. He smiled at me and held out his hand. "I'm Scott, it's nice to meet you." I shook his hand.

"I'm Danni. Nice to meet you too." I gave a small smile. The girl waved at me.

"Hi, I'm Jean." I smiled and gave a small hello in return. "Trust me you're going to love it here."

"Hi! I'm Kurt!" said the last one. I smiled and waved at him.

"Hi Kurt."

"I was just about to take Danni here to the danger room for an evaluation." the Professor said as he moved next to us. "If it's alright with her you are welcome to join." they all turned to me and I shrugged.

"Y-Yeah sure.." the professor smiled at me and lead the three of us through the enormous house. I was staring in awe at everything that we passed until we stopped in front of a large door. "Is this it?" I asked as I turned to the Professor.

"Yes." he said. "The rest of us will go up to the observation deck. You wait here, and when the door opens walk inside." I nodded. Jean put her hand on my shoulder.

"Don't worry, i'm sure you'll do great." she smiled and me and I smiled back.

"Thank you." They rounded the corner. I tugged a hair tie off my wrist and pulled my hair back. After another minute or two the large metal doors opened and I slowly stepped inside. The door closed behind me and immediately I was on high alert. I heard the quietest clicking sound behind me and I jumped up in the air, narrowly missing a laser that would have hit my back. I landed a ways away from the source of the attack and I started to run at it. It fired at me again and instinctively I jumped up and off the wall and launched myself at the gun, landing on top of it, and driving my fist straight through it.

Two more clicks. I jumped again as two sharp tentacles lunged at me from either side. I pressed my feet to the ceiling and hung upside down from a hook with my hands, I looked down and assessed my situation. Two more guns had popped out of the walls, and the tentacles were pulling back for another attack. I jumped onto one of the guns then over to a tentacle, causing the gun to shoot that instead, and repeated with the other tentacle and the second gun, before vaulting off the wall over to the final gun, kicking it to the ground. It landed with a thud, and I landed in a crouch next to it. I stood up and looked up to the observation room.

"Very good Danni." the Professor said. "Meet us outside please." I nodded and headed towards the door. I felt a hand on my shoulder as I walked out. I looked up and saw Scott smiling down at me.

"Danni, that vas incredible!" Kurt exclaimed. I looked over to him and felt my eyes widen. He was blue.. and.. furry.. wow. He looked at me confused for a moment before his own eyes widened and he quickly fidgeted with something on his wrist. I reached up and grabbed his hand, stopping him from doing whatever it was he was doing. I looked at him and he looked at me, almost scared of what I was thinking.

"You're amazing.." I smiled. He smiled, and chuckled in relief.

"Glad you think so." He rubbed the back of his head before extending his hand to me. "Velcome to the Institute." I smiled and shook his hand.

"I'm going to show Danni to her room." the Professor said. "Thank you for helping me welcome her, you three." they all smiled and waved at me as they walked away, and I waved back." the Professor and Ororo lead me down some more halls. They stopped next to a door and Ororo opened it for me. I smiled. The room was a bit bigger than mine at home, with a large window and window seat, lounge chair, dresser, full body mirror, desk and desk chair, and queen sized bed. The sheets were grey and faded blue. I smiled wider and walked in.

"This is mine?" Ororo smiled at me.

"I take it you like it?" I nodded.

"Oh, one more thing, Danni." I turned to the Professor as he handed me a box. I took it from him. "What do you think of, Sapphire?" I smiled.

"I love it." He smiled back at me as he wheeled out of the room.

"Welcome to the X-Men, Sapphire." Once the door closed I opened the box and smiled at the uniform inside. I set it on my bed and pulled out my notebook. I sat at the desk and opened my journal to my unfinished entry.

I have a feeling I'm going to love it here.
