Being a Kid (Open)

[Rebel]

Aislin Guthrie, who was now only known as Ace to the people in the mansion, was skipping around the garden with a jump rope in hand. She had been skipping rope for awhile now and had andered around alot, getting quite lost. But at the moment she wasn't paying attention, she just continued jumping rope.

Gypsy, gypsy
Please tell me.
What's my sweetheart going to be:
Doctor, Lawyer, banker, thief,
Sailor, soldier, Indian Chief?

she tried hard not to giggle as she sang the song until she missed. The she looked around and noticed a beautiful flower and walked over to look at it, dropping the rope in the middle of the path.

The young girl was from the future, a future that had been darkened by war, and though she hid it well, the memories haunted her. She was the daughter of X-23 and Icarus. She had seen their deaths, as well as Cannonball and Husks. She was shy, to a point until the people were known to her, and only a few she had warmed up to lately. At times she tried to follow Logan around, but tended to stop and run off to try and find someone to play with.

Out here she sat alone. looking at the flowers now. As she tried to pick one, the thorn pricked her finger and she fell backwards hoilding it. "Uh oh" she whispered as tears started falling down her face. The stinging had begun and she didn't like blood.

Mimic was walking around and noticed the young girl crying and saw the blood on her finger... He walked over to her and knelt down beside her. Lightly touch her on the back, he asked 'He kiddo, is everything ok... lemme see that finger..."

[Paige Guthrie]

Paige watched from a distance and shook her head. "it couldn't be" she thought to herself. she was also haunted by the death of images of the death of her borther jay and sam...even laura. She watched from afar but how could she doubt she had jay's eyes. she thought she died in teh war...

Aislin looked at Mimic and held out her finger. "That hurt" she said simply. "Do I get a pretty bandaid?" she asked sniffling. "I just wanted a flower...and it had to have horns..." the little girl looked down at the ground.

The she looked up again and around, as if she knew that someone else was there. The presenbce to the little girl just felt familiar and then she saw Paige. Her little face lit up, and then fell again as she realized, it wasn;t the Paige she knew, it was a different one, but just knowing that someone she knew was here, made her feel better.

She wanted to run to Paige and hug her, but knew, she knew she couldn't.

[Calvin Rankin]

Mimic took the girls little hand in his and looked at her finger... "oh that isn't too bad, but of course you get a bandaid and...." he stopped and grabbed the best flower. He removed the thorns and handed it to her, "you get a pretty flower as well..."

He then noticed her attention shift toward Paige who had just walked up... "do you know Paige little one?"

[Paige Guthrie]

Paige slowly walked up she wanted to wrapper her arms around her and tellh er everything is alright. but is wasn't, they were different they were all different. Paige wasn't the happy carefree bullhead young girl she once was...the War made her cold and mournful. She saw her eyes light up and saw the hesiation, she must sense Paige wasnt the same... Paige got down on her needs and smield a warm smile at her as she tried to hold back the tears..."hey pretty girl come give paigie a hug"
