Nobody Suspects The Butterfly. (Butterfly)

Butterfly had gotten done talking to Melissa and was trying to now find her way back to the apartment. She had already eaten her carrots and celery and parsnips and was quite satisfied. She started walking down the street and realized that she didn't know where she was at all. She walked and walked and became more and more anxious. It was such a big city and all she was trying to do was get back to the apartment. She started to panic and became slightly disoriented. She sat down on a bench close to the sidewalk and put her head in her hands trying so hard to figure out what she was gonna do. Her brother wasn't there to help her and she couldn't go back to Melissa. She had walked so much that she had no way of being able to re-find her.

"Just great. I'm freaking lost." she said to herself. She got angry at herself and kind of scared considering the neighborhood that she was in. She started to cry a little out of anger and she tensed up from all the anxiety. She was so upset that she didn't even feel herself change into her butterfly form. Next thing she knew, she looked down and she was hovering about the bench.

"Well, might as well take advantage of this while I can." she thought. She flew around until she came to a greenhouse. She realized the door was cracked and flew in. It sure was warm She kinda liked it and decided that if she was lost, then at least she should be warm and lost. When she came in, she saw someone working. She could see that they had bright read hair and was covered in fur, white with green stripes, like a tiger. "Well, whoever they are. They sure are pretty." she thought. From the hair style, she could tell that they were female. She just decided to watch and sorta hide amongst the plants. She fluttered to a few that didn't look like they were dead yet and tried to "act" like a butterfly. Whatever that meant. As she watched, she saw the woman turn around and saw that she had a watering can. She walked over to what looked like a vegetable garden.

"Whew. Thank God she didn't come over here and drown me in water. Although these plants really do need it. At least they aren't out in the freezing cold." she thought to herself, still watching and wondering who the other person was and where in the world she was.

Butterfly watched as the furred woman bustled around the greenhouse watering the vegetables and hummed. She seemed like such a good natured person. It was nice to find people like her in the world. When she had turned to find Butterfly on the leaf, she smiled at her niceness and politeness. And she was very intrigued that she knew a lot about butterflies. She seemed nice enough and when she extended her clawed furry hand to Butterfly and said that she would move her to another plant while she watered these, Butterfly walked onto her hand and let her place her somewhere else. "Thank you" she said kinda quietly, wanting to be polite and yet still wanting to watch what was going on.

After Butterfly went and walked onto the furry hand, she was carefully brought over to the calla lilies and nudged off. She smiled when she was told to enjoy the afternoon sunshine. She slowly fluttered her wings to gain warmth all over her.

She watched as the furry woman went back to work. She decided that she wanted to make herself more known to the woman. She could tell that she had heard her when she said thank you earlier. Butterfly went and flew over to the furry woman and landed on her shoulder. She watched her slightly and then said "Hi, what's your name? I like you and think you're nice and very pretty. I'm the butterfly you have been so nice to. I really enjoyed your humming as well."

"You're Welcome. I just thought I'd tell you so because there aren't very many nice people like you in the world." When Regan tilted her head and looked puzzled, Butterfly laughed a little and said, "Yes you're talking to a butterfly. That's my name by the way. I'm a mutant like you too. My powers allow me to change into a butterfly."

"I stumbled across this greenhouse when I was trying to find my way back to my apartment and got lost. Other than knowing I'm in a greenhouse, I have no idea where I am. This city is so big and hard to navigate through. Maybe when you get done, could you help me?"

"Thank you" she said to Regan complimenting her colors. Butterfly listened to Regan speak and tell her about the school. "There's a school for mutants? I mean what goes on around here? What do you teach?" she asked. When Regan said that she didn't travel out in public much and that she could try to help if traveling through the woods, Butterfly nodded her head and told Regan that she would very much appreciate any help that she could give her. "I'm kinda curious about this school now. Could you show me around before you take me through the woods?" asking Regan. There was no harm in asking, was there? She could always say no if she wanted.

"Wow, that's pretty interesting. I'd love to see what you can show me. As a matter of fact I might need to take a few lessons from them in Power Controlling 101" she said with a laugh.

"And you do a good job with keeping up the greenhouse. I can tell by the way you work and give attention to the plants. Speaking of which, those vegetable sure do look good." she said with a smile. She thought the school would be an interesting place and she never turned down the chance to learn something new. Especially when it was with something like her powers. "So what kind of activities do they have here for training one's powers and for fun?"

"Not really. I try, but I don't exactly understand them completely. But I'd like to control them." when Regan asked about her powers. She agreed when Regan talked about the plants perking up. "They sure did get a nice person to take care of them though."

Butterfly tried to move out of the way as Regan took her apron off and when asked if ready to go inside, Butterfly replied with an excited "Yes!" Although she kinda hoped that she would change back to her human self sometime soon so that she could actually walk around and not have to fly or rely on Regan to carry her around as much. Or it might be okay that she stayed in her butterfly form that way she could eavesdrop and no one know she was there.
