Deathstar rolled her eyes at the notion she should introduce herself to the guy that was mentioned, "Fade, you clearly must have forgotten about the one and only Deathstar", she said while pushing her shades back to the crest of her nose, hiding her fiery eyes, "I don't go to men, they come to me" Deathstar said still hugging her white cotton robe against her waist.

Deathstar follow Fade closely while they walk toward another x-men she hasn't met, "It seems you know more people than me girly", Deathstar eyes shifted to the attractive guy that caught Fade's attention, "Now he's hot, I have to admit, it seems you haven't lost your touch", Deathstar said in a faint voice so that only Fade could hear.

"Why hello there. I almost didn't recognize you with my eyes completely wide open,"

Deathstar erased her views on guys when the handsome fellow walk over and converse with Fade, "Hi!, I'm Layla but please call me Deathstar or else....", Deathstar laughs as she interrupts Fade moment,"I don't think I have met you before, oh sorry Fade, didn't mean to cut you off", she said with a hint of a smile on her face, attempting to put a little humor in their meet and greet.

Streak didn't expect to see Fade up at this hour of the day. He was still a little groggy but he was getting more awake with every step that he took towards Fade. As he got closer to another girl caught his attention. It's not that she looked odd or was prettier, as far as he was concerned they were equally pretty, but she was sending mixed signals. Her bathrobe said, 'Modest', yet her personality was saying, 'Look at me not her'. He'd never met this girl before but he was hoping to alleviate that little detail. It seemed that she was eager enough to inform him of what he was going to ask anyways. "Now wait a minute." He said looking directly at the new girl, Deathstar. "You can't make a statement like that and not expect someone to want to find out what the 'or else' is." He looked directly into Deathstar's sunglasses. After he said that he cracked a smile and quickly gave her a once over look. Not much was able to be seem under through her robe and he couldn't help but wonder why she was covered up like this at a pool party.

He didn't want to make Fade feel like he'd forgotten about her so he turned to her and said, "I didn't expect to see ya here. I thought you of all the people here didn't like to be up early." He said mocking seriousness and gently poking a finger at her and smiling broadly at her. Streak couldn't contain his curiosity ay longer. "Why are you wearing a robe to a pool party?"

The white haired young woman known as either Ghost or Vega was making her way toward the pool but a cerain person was right behind her. Now clad only in his brown and teal swimtrunks, Luke's expression was focused and playful all at the same time. Suddenly speeding up he accelerated, scooping the young woman up into his arms in one quick movement.

"Time to get wet!" He called out cheerfully as he dashed past a few people standing near the pool and then... tragedy struck. He had seen the young woman sitting on the edge of the pool and planned on side stepping to avoid her but his bare foot made contact with a small wet puddle on the pool deck and suddenly he was sliding.

"Look out!" He suddenly called as he slid past, bumping into the young woman by the pool while carrying both himself and the white haired young woman into the cool, clear water.

She flew into his lap in a happy blur, and his eyes widened with surprise. For a second, his brown sugar cheeks turned a darker shade of brown-red. 'But how else would one hug someone sitting down?' He rationalized, hugging her back. Something pounded in his chest. "H-hey, sorry I kept you waiting. You wouldn't believe the all kinds of crazy I've had today. But there's plenty of time for explanations later." He smirked, popping his head up and glancing towards the grill. "Skipped breakfast this morning, and that smells good…"

>>"You work to hard you need to have fun and that is what I am here for."

When his head came back, she darted forward to plant a kiss on his cheek. He arched an eyebrow, holding his cheek as she got up and offered him her hand. She was acting spunky today. Fun. "Have I mentioned how good you look yet?" He added wryly, letting her help him up. As he stood there, he thought about how nice it was to have a break. She was right. He had been working too hard, training half the day, and working the rest. "I knew I was looking forward to today for some reason. Glad to have you here to show me a good time. Now hey, what d'you say? Let's go grab a burger from the grill."

The devious pool fairy scampered along the edge of the pool. Who to dunk? Who to douse? Who really needed a good flying entry into the pool? Why the answer was clear! There was a familiar face sitting at the sideof the ool with her feet partially submerged.

Ghost felt a niggling feeling at the back of her neck and knew at once that Luke was nearby. He'd honed himself to steer clear of her usually, but every now and again she felt him checking in on her. Ghost turned to signal to Marley, but Luke was there much closer than she had expected... and... running?

He scooped her up like a sack of twigs and her large straw hat went whooshing away from her head. "LUKE! What are you--?" Her hands were at his shoulders, but it was too late. Nothing could stop his momentum, not even a hapless victim of circumstance. They were flying through the air with the greatest of ease. All three of them. Ghost, Luke, and the mischievous pool fairy's victim: Hymn.

SPLOOSH!

The as of yet un-disturbed waters flung out with massive spray toward several innocent by-standers, most of who were sun bathing in chairs. With splash like that, one would have thought Shamoo was in town.

Koga was in an odd mood when he woke up it was late and that was not very like him at all, the air conditioning was on in the mansion an his thin cover hadn't done much for him, he felt foggy. He walked out in a pair of pajama bottoms when he opened the door a pair of swim trunks were in a plastic bag with a tag on them, behind that were a pair of flip flops hanging on the door knob. He noted similar plastic bags else where, maybe they were for first years. He snatched the bag and padded his way to the showers, he needed heat. He woke him self up with a moderately temperatured shower. He didn't bother drying off. He simply slid into the brightly colored Hawaiian print trunks an tossed the plastic bag in the green trash can canister. He held the flip flops in his hand that were screaming in a obnoxious orange.

he walked to the end of the corridor and opened the window. and then walked down the wall dropping his flip flops to the ground, from there he walked toward the pool slipping his flops off at the pavement and out of the way of the walkway from there his expression changed little he walked up to the pull and to the ledge and then leaned forward...more....... more......... more. ..........more. until he faced it like a diving board might look down on the water, then he simply let his toes and foot pads release. a light splash resounded and caused tiny ripples across the water.

he briskly swam across the pool, and then he was heading back through the middle again, stroke after stroke navigating around any others and trying to cause as little splash as possible. after he made across he would most likely do some basking of his own. He wondered briefly if he could get a tan or if he should just pick somebody's skin color he liked and go with that.

She was just splashing some water mind her own busisness, while suddenly ghost popped out behind her. She was to busy with the water to notice her anyways. She was thinking other things like: Getting into the shallow part and play with a ball or something. To bad something more drastic was about to interrupt her thinking moment.

The Luke-man, who she heard about only from whispers was stumbling over to ghost with a momentum to knock her over. They fell over and all of them went into the pool. Cailyn didn't like it and a moment of pure fright came over her. She was in the water and couldn't swim.

She flopped her hand around in a attempt to stay above water. She was gasping for air and trying to find a way out of the pool as fast as she could. To bad she couldn't swim to the side of the pool, but if she could do that she wouldn't have this problem. She attempted to go into the direction of the edge but it wasn't helping. And then she went down under the water not being able to get out of it. What was she going to do now where the thoughts that ran through her head.

Deathstar started up on her usual 'men always come to her'. Then again, if she did not act like this, she would not be the Deathstar that Fade loved as a dear friend. Streak seemed to be having fun being surrounded by all the ladies in bikinis. Although Fade could not complain, the amount of shirtless men around was not displeasing in the least bit. Then again, the googlie-eyed bikinis girls running around the pool, carrying buckets under their mouthes to catch all of the drool that flooded out of their mouths. They could make a hot tub with all that drool nonsense.

Deathstar threatened the attractive pool boy with a sentence fragment and Fade couldn't help but smile. "I wouln't be out here if it weren't for the smell of grilled food," Fade lied, it really was an opportunity to get to know everyone at the mansion, even though she already knew everyone she was talking to at that very moment. When Streak pointed out that Deathstar had a robe on, Fade finally realized that her friend was being modest, a seemingly unfamiliar term that applied to the rebel mutant. "Another long night or did you get some sleep this morning?" Truly, her Danger Room friend worked too much at night, but at least he was dedicated and he got time off to come to the pool party.

"Why are you wearing a robe to a pool party?"

Deathstar couldn't help but notice Streak gazing at her robe as if he was wondering what was underneath it, she was gonna give him the satisfaction of being the first to see her bikini, and slowly began to untie her robe. "If you wanna see, all you had to do was ask", she said with a smile on her face, Turning her back toward the other two as her robe slowly slid from her shoulder blades down to the crease of her lower back, and then released to the ground. "So what do you think?" she asked the others facing them again showcasing her revealing two piece, it was a black sheer see-threw bikini with pink horizontal stripes covering up certain body parts being sure she won't have a wardrobe malfunction.

"Don't be jealous Fade", Deathstar said jokingly to the red head, looking at the others enter the pool having fun, Deathstar wanted her fun too. "How about we go for a swim? a race maybe?", she asked out in the open hoping the other two will join her.

IC:
Maneuvering his way through a few groups of people Sam charged to the pool as fast as he could hoping to make it in time if no one else was going to. The average human being could hold their breath up to three minutes however if the person was panicking and swallowing water the three minutes was a moot point, which was why he was in such a hurry.

Shirt and shoes still on as Sam approached the edge of the pool and dove in as he saw the girl now sinking to the bottom. Sam couldn’t tell if she was struggling now our not as quickly grabbed an arm full of the woman’s waist and kicked off the pool floor giving him an extra boost to the top of the water. “Relax!” blurted out of Sam almost as a reaction when surfacing with a person. It rarely did much good seeing as someone whom about to drown would be anything but relaxed.

One of the few things he loved about his child hood was the knowledge that was needed for basic training, one of these just happened to be water rescue, which in a pool wasn’t as hard as a lake or Ocean. Pulling the girl over to the shallow side of the pool Sam patted her on the cheek as he lifted her up, “Are you alright?” sounding worried and showing it as well Sam looked to see if she was in fact alright.

(OOC: Hymn hope it is alright that I dragged you, if not I can change the post up)

[OOC: Continued from the Grill Area.]

Her attention was turned to the pool area when what it wanted to be a joke turned into an incident. By the looks, the girl who had been thrown by mistake into the pool didn’t know how to swim and seeing Sam already jumping in to rescue her, Alexandra guessed she wasn’t making a wrong assumption.

Alexandra changed her course and headed to the shallow part of the pool where Sam was taking the girl. She couldn’t get a glimpse to see if the girl was ok, but she hadn’t been that much time in the pool so she hoped everything was fine or this pool party was about to end.

After getting on the edge of the pool she crouched down somewhere in Sam’s immediate area, her eyes scanning the blonde figure in his arms. “Is she okay, Sam?”

[OOC: Continued from the Grill Area.]

“LUKE! What are you--?”

His head turned instantaneously in the pool direction, just in time to see the enormous stray hat Ghost had been wearing only moments ago flowing trough the air for a few seconds before dropping to the ground. His eyes shifted to the sliding Luke and Ghost and their trajectory. Surely, throwing someone into the pool was always fun but the blonde in their way didn’t look like she knew how to swim.

“What the-” was all he could say as a sprinting Sam passed him and jumped in the pool to rescue the woman. Alec thought that Sam was doing just fine and the girl was now safe and sound so his eyes shifted to Luke and Ghost. Walking on the edge of the pool, he looked at them slightly tilting his head to a side. “You two okay?”

Raina stepped back as fast as she could from the giant splash of water that came from Luke losing control and landing him and a few others into the pool. She frowned- her eyebrows knitting together, and wrapped a towel around herself. "Luke Jacobs!" she yelled "It's my complete mission to NOT become a fish today!" she wagged her finger in the air. "You better be ok because I am not pulling your butt out of there!"

Of course, if he or any of the others really were hurt... she'd dash in in a second. Being able to breathe underwater certainly helped in situations like this... but Raina wasn't exactly sure she needed everyone to see her and smell her as a giant fish....

Having heard of the part that would soon be happening, the young 10 year old, decided she should wear something to the party, and since it was a pool party, she knew swimming clothes would be appropriate, the girl however didn’t think, the swimming clothes she was wearing underneath a spring jacket, was for boys.. Yes, the clothes she was wearing, were swimming trunks, usually only boys wore them. They were a dark green color, with a design of underwater life; her towel also had the same design.

Seeing the water, and also the people, she grinned brightly, and then moved towards a seat, close by Kasumi, her boyfriend, and anyone else in that area, and then she lightly placed her towel over the seat, took her jacket off, revealing her trunks, and bare top, then turned herself to face the pool. The kid caught a glips of a Rescue that Sam, someone she had yet to meet did, and just smiled, before moving towards the pool, scratching lightly on an itch, that her trunks were making. The kid glanced around, noticing Sara, the girl she met at the infirmary, and waved over to her. Before remembering that the last time she talked to the woman, the girl was blind.

Anyways, she turned herself so that her back faced the now rippling pool, and grined”eeeooooooooo-boosh!!” she says before letting herself fall into the water, letting her body sink slowly towards the bottom. Her mouth was completely closed not letting any water go in, knowing that it would cause her to lose her breath and possibly drown, that was something the youngster didn’t really want at all.

After a few seconds, the girl was shooting about, using her levitation to move her places. She shoots up out of the water, tilting her body so that she landed on her back in the water. The kid tried to make Dolphin sounds but she was unable to, so she improvised. She also didn’t realize that her trunks when she shot up out of the water, came down a few inches, revealing her butt a tiny bit, but it all was covered when she was back in.

Once this was all done, the kid decided she wanted to splash people, so she cruised around in the water, almost like a shark.

After seeing Circe come to Dom's aid, Arielle spotted Shin over by the pool chairs and some red head planting a kiss on his cheek. "Oh no..." she said as she started to make her way over from the grill. Shin had a little girl friend and he didn't tell her? Granted she hadn't spoken to him in awhile, but still! Introductions had to be made, and so she started moving towards him and the red haired girl to make them. That was until she was cut off as she was suddenly drenched by the splash made by Luke, Ghost and another blond girl who was apparently drowning. Sam performed a rescue luckily and a few started to gather to make sure that the girl was alright.

"Oh god..." she sighed hoping the blonde girl would come through. All the while, she was pissed that she had gotten wet. So what if her power was to become water, she didn't want to be wet just yet.
