It was a cold night. It was her usual routine to get up at midnight to either get a snack or just take a deep breath of the night air. This time, she woke up, her stomach growling. She thought for awhile, before she remembered that she had practically missed dinner because she need to do some research in the library.
Kitty casually walked into the kitchen in her light purple nightgown. She ran her fingers through her quite frizzy hair before opening the fridge. The cold air rushes out and brushed her face, sending her shivers down her spine. She took out a carton of milk and poured it into a glass before returning back into its original place.
She leaned against the counter as she took a sip. The darkness of the kitchen didn't really bother her since she was used to it. Suddenly, she heard a few footsteps coming towards the kitchen. This shook her a little. She stared at the door, waiting for the someone to enter.

River walked in slowly. She had her eyes closed, as she walked tot he fridge and opened it. She opened her eyes. She was in her Pajamas and her hair looked like a rats nest she ran a hand through it in an attempt to get a few of the tangles out.... but it didn't work. Her pajama top had the boogie man wirtten on it and was black and white. The pants were stiped.
She reached into the fridge and pulled out the juice. turning she was the out line of some one. Her vision was bluried and she was having a hard time seeing who it was. "Jello?" She said wich was suposed to be hello but she had a lack of brain stimulation.

"Hey," she replied back to her, as she tried not to laugh. "Up late at this hour?" she asked as she glanced out at the night sky through the glass window. There weren't many stars in the sky..well, not as much at her old home at Illinois.
She turned back to the girl before clearing her throat. "Sorry, I didn't introduce myself," she flashed her a smile before placing the glass on the counter. "Name's Katherine Pryde but you can call me Kitty," she smiled as she extended her hand, waiting for her to shake it.

Kitty shook her head a little as she watch her pouring a glass of juice. "Well, ever heard of shaking?" she asked, smiling slightly. "Anyway, how long have you been in this academy?" she asked, trying to strike up a conversation.

" 'bout a month and a half....You?" She said shrugging and downing the glass of juice in a few seconds. She pulled her sleeve over her hand and rubbed her mouth. Her feet tuned to water and river looked down at them. "Why won't they stop dong that?" She asked herself.

Kitty's eyes widen as she watched River's leg. She then regained back to her normal state as she think it was most probably part of her mutation process; that's why everyone in the academy is for, to learn how to control their powers and use their powers for the good.
"Are you alright?" she asked as she walked over to her. Her face looked concern yet calm, hoping that she could control her powers or esle Kitty need to call for some help.

"Ya... this is what happen ususally... It's perfectly fine.....See." She raised her and and it too turned to water hten slowly flowerd up her arm and over intill her whole body was water still holding the shape of a human. "This is normal for me....." A soft voice said, but at the same time a gurgiling sound came, but then the voice stopped so did the gurgiling.

"You manipulate all types of liquid particles eh?" she asked as she was impressed in watching River did her "stunt". Not much of new recriuts can control their powers that quick. "No wonder your name's River," she grinned at her as she looked up at her face.

"Ya, well I can't maniulate them I can turn my self and some times, I've only done it once, an other object into water. THough I can mantain my shape or become a puddle." RIver said slowly turning back into flesh from her feet up. " The only reason I call myself River is because I like the saying I came up with twhen I was ten for a class poetry project. My real name, with I hate, Is Alice.... But the instant I found out about mypowers I wanted to change my name, Alice didn't sute me...."She siad, That was the first time she'd ever mentioned her real name.

"Fleuve? Que faites-vous vers le haut?" Artemis stood in the doorway, mumbling the words. He didn't even realize that he was talking in French, to be truthfull. In fact, he didn't even realize he had no shirt on. He just wore a pair of pajama pants, his feet bare and a bit of his boxers showing above the hem. His deep gray eyes looked groggily at Kitty as he brushed a strand of white-blonde hair out of his pale face. "Qui êtes-vous?"

Kitty smiled at River and nodded her head understandingly. She then heard someone at the door and immediately her head spun. She felt her cheeks flushed as she saw this guy half-nude and speaking French. This reminded her a little of Remy LeBeau, The Rajun Cajun.
She flashed him a slightly but sweet smile before glancing back at River, hoping that she knew that guy.

"Pleasure to meet you," Kitty flashed him a grin before extending her hand, waiting for him to shake it. "What time is it?"
Kitty's head turned towards her direction before checking the her wrist watch. "It's around one in the morning," she said, finally noticing it was getting really late.

Artemis yawned, shuffling across the floor to flop down in a chair, "Comme l'enfer si je sais. Je déteste des montres." He said, stretching his arms upwards. He was small, standing at 5 foot three and barely weighing 115 pounds. His arms and chest were defined with slim muscle. He yawned again, eyeing Kitty's hand. "Yeah, sure." He said, taking her hand and shaking it slightly before releasing it. "One? Hmmph."

After shaking his hand, Kitty then walked back to the counter, practically forgetting her milk which she left at the counter. She gulped the rest of it down her throat before placing it in the basin. "So what brings you here in this night?" she asked Artemis, as she leaned against the counter lazily.

"One! Are you serious? No woneder I'm tired.... "River said as she yawned sitting up properly. "Why you up so early Artemis?" As asked looking at him sleepily and rubbing her eyes to her vison would go back to normal instead of being all blurry.

Artemis looked at the two girls, examining them both somewhat carefully. "I don't know." He said, yawning, "I 'ave no clue." He spoke with a thick French accent, though his English was very good. "I should be asking you ze same zing."

Kitty shrugged casually. "I'm here for my normal routine. Get up, go to the kitchen, grab a snack or a drink before going back to sleep," she grinned.

"I had a nightmare.... And my feet turned to water..... Not very fun...." She said shaking her head. "Then I tripped down the stairs and slammed my head on the door.... stubbed my toe like five times.... Not.... Fun...." She said giving a sigh.
