Who: Kitty Pryde and St John Allerdyce
What: Some more kids
Where: Their house
When: October 6

She'd been having such a nice dream, her mom had taken her out to get a new dress for the upcoming dance recital and she was going to wear it to the party after and it was going to be amazing. Kitty had just arrived at the party, with her new dress on and people were just turning to see her walk in when she woke up. She frowned with her eyes closed wanting to try and get back into the dream but no amount of wishing for it made her dream come back and she huffed out an annoyed breath before she opened her eyes expecting to see the poster on her ceiling and instead greeted with a ceiling that was no hers at all.

And then her awareness widened and she realized she wasn't alone in bed, there was a boy there! "Ah!" She screamed and pushed at him with both feet as she tried to both push him away from her and move back from him at the same time. "What are you doing?!" She demanded fierce and annoyed. "This is my room!" But as she looked around she wasn't sure that was true, but no it was hers too, she knew even while she knew it wasn't the room she had expected it to be.

"Who are you?!" And then she looked around and saw the strange looking animals all around them. "What are those?! Where are we? What's happening?" She felt her eyes begin to sting, she was not going to cry in front of this boy. She refused.

John was cozy and comfortable. Compared to what he was normally used. That was the odd part, but that was fine. This was fine. Actually this was great! John gripped the pillow and hugged it while he slept and snored lightly, completely unaware of the presence next to him - because all that mattered was this blissful sleep.

Well, he would suppose the feet on his back would cause some importance. John woke abruptly with a loud shrieking "What the fuck!?" Yup, Johnny had the mouth even as a young teen. Rolling away from the attack realizing he was not in his bed. Standing and pointing. "Your room!?" Well there was this itching weird feeling, that he belonged. "This is sure as heck not your room! This is.." He paused now ignoring the girl he was just sharing a bed with. There was a pair of turtles now staring at him equally confused as him.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" John screamed pointing at Lockheed.

Backing up, he felt panic brewing until his back hit the wall closest to him. "I don't know." He told the girl before his eyes landed on her. There was a strong look on her face. He knew it. He had seen other girls have that look. "Hey." He called out to her. "I- we will figure this out." He tried to reassure the girl. "I'm uh, Johnny." He told her. "What's your name?" There had to be somewhere to start right?

"Yes I went to bed in my room, so this is my room!" Angry at the idea that he might be suggesting this wasn't her room. Of course it was, just because it didn't look quite right didn't mean that it wasn't hers okay. She went to bed in her room and she woke up in her room, she knew it somewhere inside her that this was her room. But rather than fight more about that he seemed to have caught up to where she was and seen some of the animals that surrounded them, two giant turtles and a yellow.... thing and a giant fox? And then Lockheed.

"He's a dragon." She said immediately because of course he was and she knew he was even if she didn't really know how she knew that. Lockheed who had been looking annoyed at having been woken by their screaming cast a glance at her and nodded like he understood her and pushed up off the bed making the short flight from where he'd been curled up sleeping to settle himself across her shoulders. "Your dragon." He said softly so only she heard him and then rested his head around the curve of her neck, like a security blanket and Kitty felt better having him close. The weight of the dragon a familiar comfort and she was glad that there was at least one small thing in all of this that felt familiar like that.

All of this was too much, she just wanted to sleep in and maybe she could talk her mom into making waffles for breakfast and they'd sit at the table together and her dad would let her have the comic section of the paper and the radio would play softly and it'd be a nice morning together, but all there was was this boy and she wanted to cry. But he was trying to reassure her a little, introducing himself and she bit her lower lip just a little sniffing just a little, "Kitty." She said softly after a moment.

"I went to bed in my room too, and woke up in my room!" John immediately countered to the girl. John felt his rage building, the rage he was so known for. Though, he couldn't even keep that up. There was too much going on in this little room, and the pants he was wearing kept wanting to slide off his hips. He wasn't sure who's clothes he was wearing, no, he knew. They were his, and he knew that without any doubt. Just as he knew that this bed, and this room was indeed his.

The turtles approached him though, while he listened to the girl and her explanation of the thing that was a dragon. Didn't sound wrong, despite how weird that really was. John touched one of the turtle's heads and it responded with a concerned response. "Squirtle?" John repeated as he touched the second turtle. These things too felt right, while he looked at the other animals.

"I..." John muttered while looking back to Kitty. The name sounded familiar, but the person wasn't anyone he knew. Though she felt comfortable, like all these pets around them. He took a deep breath. Taking the draw strings on the pants, he retied them much tighter than before so they would fall of his hips. "Kitty. Lets start by getting out of this room." That was a start. "We'll figure this out." He looked down to the turtles. "Right?" Why was he asking them? But the responded with cheerful noises, and the Pikachu also responded to him, and bounced across the bed to Kitty. Walking around towards the door, he stopped and held his hand out to the girl.

"I promise I'll keep you safe?" Why was he even caring to make that promise. Not like anyone ever did the same for him, but it just felt like the right thing to do.

She didn't want to fight with this boy, it was too early and her day was not going the way she thought it might and she just wanted to see her dad and figure things out. But the longer she sat there the more she realized that she wasn't going to get to do any of that. Her dad wasn't here, this was her house, these were her pets, this was where she lived now. It didn't make sense even as it started coming together in her mind, she didn't know how to deal with it and those tears welled up as she tried.

Watching him talk to the turtles, Kitty pulled a pillow toward herself hugging it against her chest as she pressed her face into it trying to hold back her tears, or at least hide them she didn't want him seeing her cry. Lockheed nuzzled against her cheek gently as she blinked away tears.

It was only when Johnny started talking again, promising that they'd figure things out and that he'd keep her safe that she lifted her head to see him holding his hand out to her.

Sniffling once more she nodded holding out her own hand to take his, "Okay," She agreed. "I'll keep you safe too." She said feeling a little more determined, with Lockheed to help her and the animals and Johnny? They could do this, couldn't they? Figure things out together and decide what to do next.

Fighting was the furthest thing that John wanted to do with this strange girl who he found in his room. Most of all, he wanted to hug her and pet her hair and tell her it was going to be okay. Which was also a little gross.

When he felt her hand in his with her promise in return that John felt his heart swell. This was right, but as right as it felt he just couldn't figure out the why it was right - just that he felt absolutely comfortable with this girl.

"Um." John flushed. "The other kids call me Johnny but my actual name is St. John Allerdyce. Um." He looked away some while pronouncing his name again. "Sinjin, but I just go by John."

Quickly John didn't dwell on the topic he mentioned while he lead the pair through the hall and down the stairs while the pets followed John kept himself ready for something weird to come forward, but it was just a house. A small, empty house with nothing to really mention that was really strange. Letting the hand go he ventured further in looking around to find where a pair of phones plugged into a power source. John picked one up and the first thing to appear was on the background of the screen that illuminated. It was an older man that had a vague resemblance of himself with a very pretty woman. John just stared at it with great focus. Looking across the counter to the fridge there was picture strips with the same people. "Who's.." John started saying when looking to Kitty.

Then John's eyes went wide as he held his phone up to see the girl and the picture on the phone side by side. He shivered. This was making even less sense, and John felt his own panic start building up. "I.. you.. we? Wha? I- um.." Well, John was trying to spit words out but all he did was turn his hand so he was showing the picture on the phone. "Are... we?" He managed to choke out.

"Should I call you.... Johnny too?" She asked, because he'd introduced herself that way but she wasn't sure if he just did that because everyone called him that or if he really preferred it. She'd never heard that other name before, well maybe she had, she wasn't sure - maybe it was in a movie she'd seen or one of her books. She wasn't sure, it was all a little confusing. Not so much in a scary kind of way but more because she couldn't remember exactly how they got here.

But they were moving again, together down the hall and down the stairs, Kitty with Lockheed around her shoulders still and Johnny's hand in hers as they moved together down the stairs and into the rest of the house, exploring it all together.

John went to check something else while Kitty looked around on her own a little bit until John started sputtering and she looked where he was showing her a picture on a phone. She narrowed her eyes at the couple on the screen and then looked at him pursing her lips. "I don't ..." She paused and looked again. "That doesn't make any sense." She said shaking her head but even as she said it she looked at the pictures again and thought maybe they seemed familiar too, not just in that she'd seen them before, but that she was in them? But it wasn't her, the woman in the picture was old, she still had years before she was even old enough to drive how could that be her in them?

"I think something happened." She told him, she didn't know what and she didn't know how but they weren't who they were supposed to be, at least not entirely.

There was a pause as if there was no way she didn't actually know the answer. "John." He mentioned softly. "I don't know why, but it feels you should call me John." His cheeks flushed just a moment before he was not thinking about it anymore. This place was weird, this girl was weird, everything was just super weird!

It didn't make sense. It was weird. If this was him, as a grown up, John literally had one single question about it. What happened to him. He was so old and well, terrible looking. What sort of life did he live to give him the lines on his forehead like that, and cause him to have such an expression. John looked back at the picture and it just felt right, and as it should be. This was him, deep down in his jellies he knew for fact this was him in the picture and that the tightness he got in his chest was because of the girl in it, which was-

John looked to Kitty just as she said something happened. Well, that was one way to put it. Then he looked at the turtles who seemed to be very interested in him. Were they his? That sounded right. Not having to crouch far he pointed the phone at the pair, because they understood him at least. "Okay. Is this-" He pointed at the man in the picture me? Both Squirtles responded a like and nodded. "Is this-" He pointed the woman who was quite snuggled up to the adult him. "Her?" Which got the same response, which they started going nuts trying to explain things to them.

Looking to Kitty from his crouch, he half smirk unintentionally. She was smokin' hot as a grown up. Good job old man him. "I... don't know what to do." John spoke honestly.

He was right, she did call him John. She felt it then as she looked at him - of course she called him John. Why didn't she know that at first? It was all confusing, but well names weren't as important as what was going on here.

She was poking around the rest of the kitchen while John looked at the pictures some more before he crouched down to talk to the turtles. That was still weird, two giant turtles who talked. Not to mention the other animals they had. Lockheed made some kind of sense for some reason but she had a harder time with the other animals. But John seemed to take to talking right back to them as he knelt down to ask them about the picture and whether or not they were them.

Her eyes went wide watching both the turtles happily agree that they were the people in the picture. "That's impossible, look at me." She held her arms out to show off that she was just a kid still in a shirt that was too big for her, she couldn't be the lady in the pictures. And John - he was just a boy, no way could he be a man. No way was she gonna live with a man. That was gross!

"Maybe..." She started and paused, "Maybe we should have some breakfast?" She suggested, because she wasn't ready to deal with the rest of it just yet. "I found some cereal."

Of course Kitty knew his name, how could she not?! That was ridiculous!

Everything was insanely uncomfortable. From the far too big clothes to the animals that were attached to them almost at the hips, to the fact he woke up in a bed in a house with a strange girl. His eyes went right to Kitty at that point and his mind just swam with affection. John felt in his chest immediately how he felt for this girl, and that absolutely confused him.

"Yeah." John agreed. "Breakfast." That was good. That would be great. While she got the cereal he retrieved bowls, spoons and the milk to meet her at their table. Setting the items down he looked to her. "So what do you think?" He questioned while sitting down at the table. "Think this is like the Twilight Zone?" With that he made spooky hand motions with his hands at Kitty.

She bit the inside of her lip when he asked about it being the Twilight Zone, she didn't like the thought of something like that, even if John had been teasing her - at least she thought he was with the way he wriggled his fingers at her, but it made her want to cry thinking about being stuck in a place like that. But she wasn't going to - she didn't cry. She was certain of that. Even if she'd cried plenty before.

"I don't know." She said quietly as they settled at the table together she poured herself a bowl of cereal first before she gave him the box so he could have some too and while he poured himself some cereal she added milk to her bowl. "Maybe. I don't think so though. I think it's stranger than that." Which almost seemed impossible, she saw the Twilight Zone sometimes at night, usually pressed against her dad's side hiding her eyes when things got to creepy for her. But she was sure things here were strange in a way that couldn't be explained even more so than the episodes of the show she'd seen.

The look on Kitty's face hurt John immediately. His joke was mean and insensitive, and he knew it the moment he saw her face. That meant that she would scold him later about that. Wait? Why would she scold him for it, and tease him about it. "Hey Kitty." John backpedaled a bit. "I'm sure it's nothing like the Twilight Zone." He tried to reassure her. "My joke was stupid." He frowned. "After we eat, we can go out and see if we can find a grown up to explain what's happening." Reaching out he took the box of cereal from her to fill his bowl.

A shocked look on John's face he looked to Kitty. "Stranger than Twilight Zone?!" How he tried to wrap his head around that. That was the weirdest thing he could think of. Nothing really compared to weird things that could happen. "Maybe it's some wizard who thinks it's funny to change us back to kids?" John added milk to his cereal and immediately started shoving the food in his mouth. With a partial mouthful of food he spoke while swallowing. "You think we have a tv? Think there is cartoons?"

She did like the idea of finding an adult later, that felt better, like maybe they could make sense of things if they just found someone who could explain it. Because surely someone had to know what was going on. Kitty liked things to have order, to understand how it all worked and know that things were going the way they were supposed to. So she nodded when he suggested that.

John was kind of gross, the way boys were, she ate more slowly, taking her time and considering his suggestion of a wizard. Almost immediately she'd wanted to tell him that no, there were no such things as wizards, but she wasn't entirely sure about that suddenly. But she couldn't understand why. "It's not a very funny joke if that's what it is." She said with a little huff. "I dunno." She lifted her shoulders when he asked about tv, "Maybe? We can look." But she didn't think they did. There were just a lot of questions and not many answers to be had just yet. "After cereal." She decided. "Then we'll find all the answers. Together."

Yes. Together. That felt immediately right. They, her and him, fought and searched for answers together every time something happened. That was what felt right. That was what his mind guts told him, despite his mind saying how it was weird to be so conjoined to a girl like this. She was just a girl after all.

Gross.

"After cereal!" John smiled wide then shoveled more cereal into his yap munching away. He was more interested in watching cartoons and adventuring than finding an adult. Adults always yelled at him. Don't do this, don't do that. Never letting him have his fun. "Nah. It ain't funny at all." John agreed ultimately. "Though, being a kid is like the best." He smiled. "We get to have all the fun, and here..." Leaning up on his chair so he could lean towards Kitty over the table. "We don't got any grownups to tell us what to do. We should find ice cream." John encouraged.
