CHAPTER 7

After things had settled down Roxi finally knuckled down and got everything ready for the art show, her first entry was a dawning of her father sitting on their front porch. Kitty ran up to Roxi's room nearly stepping on Rogue's guitar and phasing through Wanda to announce "Roxi got through she got through to the next round!"

Roxi polished the drawing for the next round it was a picture of Rogue and Kitty sitting on Xavier's front steps looking in two different directions, looking completely different yet the bond was clear between them. "Come on Rogue I'm going to enter it with or without your say so" Roxi stated when rogue tired yet again to get her to not enter the drawing because she was I it. "Oh come on Rogue, at least she didn't enter the one where your in Gambit's arms and-" Kitty was silenced by Roxi furiously shaking her head and Rogues bright green eyes glaring at her.

There was two weeks before the final round and Roxi was finishing the last of her artwork and she was so nervous that the Professor had to call her two his office. "What is the matter?" he asked Roxi told him and the Professor laughed good naturedly, "I'm sure you do fine, Roxanna you did get this far but if you don't mind may I have a look at the others?" Professor Xavier asked. Roxi showed him and he said that everyone human or mutant had something they were good at.

"I finished it!" Roxi cried collapsing on Kitty's bed "Show us" both her friends asked so she did and the room was all quiet. "What you don't like it?" Roxi asked "no suga it's ……powerful" Rogue chose her words carefully and Kitty said "it definitely suits her".

Kitty insisted that they go shopping for an outfit because the final awards were drawn at a show in the High School gym. Roxi could swear on many differently deities that she had tired every piece of clothing in the mall before they bought the outfit.

The night arrived and Kitty was downing the finishing touches on Roxi's make up and Rogue walked in and whistled. Both Kitty and rogue were dressed up slightly kitty in a white sundress with pretty sandals and rogue was in black jeans and a green shirt that ended in a vee over her gloves.

Roxi after much pushing by kitty was in an ankle length black skirt with an off the shoulder black long sleeved shirt with a purple tank underneath it. Her hair was down and her make was natural but she looked good. Her father had even driven up for the occasion and the two of them had a nice reunion.

Derek Weller was surprised to meet her daughter's friends but only because of the variety and he was more surprised to find out that she was friends with Kitty rather than Rogue which was a never ending amusement for Kitty. The Professor, Storm and some of the other student's wee going to support Roxi and others were going because they just wanted to get out of the mansion for a night.

When they arrived one of the most popular girls at Bayville High Trayn decided to make Roxi's night a misery "why is she even her, she'll never win" Trayn giggled to her friends "she has more of as chance then you" Kitty stated with Jean beside her to back her up. "Why are you defending her Jean you don't like her either?" Trayn asked "we may not get along but that is no reason to insult her" Jean said as she walked away.

Trayn wouldn't let up finally Rogue and Wanda put a stop to it Rogue had used her power to call forth other powers that she had previously absorbed to set a napkin near Trayn on fire because the girls were so Freaked out Wand a threw punch to put it out, the punch just happened to hit Trayn too.

Finally the winner was announced Roxi had won she went up to accept the award and she was thrilled after the small party Roxi went outside to get some air when Wanda came up to her "Why did you draw me?" she asked "Because what you did to your brother it made me see how strong I think you are" Witch made Wanda give a brief hint of a smile but then Toad found her so it all went away.

Roxi realised that at Xavier's institute for the gifted there would never be a dull moment and she would learn all thoughts of things. Roxanna Weller would learn who she was and what she would do but most importantly she'd learn that in a moment everything can change.
