Who: June OTA
What: Playing with water and pretending she's in Narnia.
When: Wednesday afternoon
Where: Outside
Rating: G

Today was a weird day. When June woke up it was almost kind of warm out. Then, in the middle of English, she looked out the window to see it snowing big fat flakes. Now, not even three hours later, it was warm out again. She wondered if it was the way the weather was working naturally today or if Storm was not having a good day. Either way, the warmish breeze that drifted across the open campus courtyard was too inviting to pass up.

The snow was so deep in the unshoveled parts of the grounds that June stuck to the common paths and matched her steps to the bigger strides of the adults who'd recently walked them. Too soon for green buds. She frowned to herself. It was warm enough for Spring today but the ground was still way too cold for anything to try and grow. Soon, though. When she saw the first robin she'd know the warm weather was getting closer.

Out by the fountain now, she hopped onto the rim and blew a puff of air between her lips. If she closed her eyes or looked in a certain direction she could almost believe she was Lucy, walked into the wardrobe and into Narnia. With one foot in front of the other and gaze down to keep an eye on her steps, June began to circle the fountain. "I am a daughter of Eve," she said quietly to herself. "But I don't think she was expecting me when she had her first baby."

Water from the ground, melted snow that was running in well hidden rivers and streams, came floating into the air and danced before June as she wiggled her fingers. "You see, Mister Tumnus, I am a mutant. I am not just a silly girl with a magical elixir. I can defeat the White Queen all by myself. I will protect you and save Narnia!"

Her hand swept up gracefully and the water followed her motion. When her eyes narrowed in concentration, the water thinned and lengthened into a wicked whip that snapped the air. "Let her come. I am ready for her."

Paige had been out sketching some of the kids when she noticed the little girl. For a moment, she couldn't place her, but she certainly was adorable. And if she was correct, the little girl was seemed to be pretending. She caught the words Narnia and Tumnus and had to smile. The Chronicles of Narnia. She'd read the books herself when she was younger, though she didn't know if the little girl was familiar with the books or the movies. Either one, it was kind of adorable and reminded her of Cissie back home. The urge to sketch her was too strong to ignore, so Paige flipped a page in her sketchbook and began to draw.

Quick strokes of her pencil brought out the little girl's eyes in a swift fashion and in another few moments, Paige had the girl's face done. It was a little difficult with her moving so much, but still, she sketched. The whip of water was included, as well as the little girl's words to add to the image of what she was pretending. It was like looking at Cissie all over again and for a second, Paige paused. She hadn't been to see her family in awhile, but she'd definitely be making a phonecall today. After all, her little sister would have loved playing with this little girl.

Taking a breath, the southern blond stood and made her way over to the kid with a smirk, coming up behind her. "Are ya sure yer ready fer tha White Queen? Ah hear she's mighty wicked." It seemed the sight of the little girl brought out her southern accent as well as her memories, but she shrugged it off. Paige would be careful not to let it out again. Just because it was a little girl didn't mean that she didnd't still need the practice. But still, she was all grins as she spoke, her head cocked to the side a little.

June danced along the edge of the fountain; the ballet classes she'd been taking with Kitty helped her with agility and dexterity. The water whip she controlled moved around her like a snake slithering through the air. "How dare you enter my kingdom!" she questioned quietly, her little voice dropping two octaves. "I am here to kick you to the curb, you witch!" She snapped her whip at the middle of the fountain but made sure not to touch the marble with the water. It was sharp enough to cut the stone. "Aslan is the real ruler here. Not you!"

The voice behind her made June jump and shriek. Her water whip fell into the fountain with the sound of tiny splashes. Her eyes were wide when she spotted the person in front of her. "You scared me," she breathed. She didn't know Paige personally having never actually talked to the woman, but she knew Kitty was close with her. It was pretty much the only reason she didn't slowly back away and make an excuse to leave at that very moment.

Making sure she stood straight, she summoned her water again and let it coat her hands like gloves. "I think I'm ready. I want to be an X-Man someday and they have to face much worse. I figure I should start small and work my way up."

"Well, if you're starting small, I'd say we need to get you well and truly trained," Paige replied with a smirk. Setting her sketchbook off to the side, she reached for her arms and stripped the skin from them, letting it fall to the ground. Where her flesh had once been was now ice. "You wanted the ice queen, now you've got her." It was always nice to just take a few minutes and play with the younger kids. But only for an hour," she laughed, "otherwise... you won't be dealing with an ice queen anymore." Paige would have hated being stuck naked in front of the girl. But she shed the rest of her skin and clothes in one pull and smirked.

"So, daughter of Eve, who exactly are you? I thought I'd faced all of them by now," she teased, taking a step to the left and cocking her head to the side a little, as if the little girl in front of her posed no threat. She was sure they both knew that June would "vanquish" the evil queen, but it was all in good fun. Though... Paige had been serious. In another instance, and if June really wanted to be an X-Man, then she'd help her along the way. She was younger than Paige had been when she had that goal in mind, but now she'd reached it, and with the ability and personality that Paige was seeing, she was certain that the little girl would be an asset.

June's eyes followed the sketchbook first, simply because she'd yet to find someone else who liked to draw like she did. But then Paige did something so crazy that the little girl took a tiny step back, her eyes wide. There were so many people at the school that it was impossible for her to know everyone's mutation. Her eyes went from Paige's arms to her face, shock melting into a wide grin. "That is so cool!" Pun really not intended. She kind of wanted to touch Paige's arms but the older blonde slipped into a role, causing June to react immediately.

Her chin elevated slightly and her shoulders straightened, all serious now. "My name is Juniper Ellison Leigh, and I have come to take you out once and for all...Jadis, White Witch." The water slid off her hands silkily and spread out to flatten itself into a sort of shield. June gripped it tightly and used her free hand to summon more water for a sword. "I am your worst nightmare. I have the smarts of Peter, the courage of Susan, the stubbornness of Edmund, and the heart of Lucy. We are done with winter here, so it's time for you to leave."

She jumped down from the fountain to stand on a more solid ground. Her feet spread to give her more of a balance in preparation for an attack. Her little blonde brows were knit together in concentration, but she suddenly stood and looked at Paige curiously. "Are you really going to attack me? No one has let me fight yet so I don't know what I can do."

When the little girl stopped and looked at her funny, Paige cocked her head to the side slightly and straightened up. No one let her fight, and she could understand that. But if the little girl wanted to, well, she could at least see what June had to offer. What she needed to work on and the like. So she made a quick decision - maybe rash, but sometimes those were the best kind - and nodded with a grin. She'd let the girl fight, but not the way she was probably expecting.

"I'll tell you what, short stuff. You come at me with everything you've got. I'll block you and see where your open spots are, okay?" She grinned and dropped back into her stance, holding one solid ice hand out to the girl. With a quick wave of her fingers, she taunted her playfully. "I'm Jadis... and it will forever be winter in Narnia, daughter of Eve. You cannot hope to defeat me."
