Mercury jumped up and down in front of her mirror, Mettle was coming to school to visit today! She brushed her red hair and pulled it into a high ponytail and she also wore green leggings and a green and black tank top, she was going to take Mettle on a tour and there was even going to be a surprise or two. She checked her reflection one more time before bursting out of her room and running down to the kitchen to eat a quick breakfast.
A few minutes later, she'd popped some gum in to overpower the taste of pancakes and was heading to the main gate. She had to meet Mettle at the gate in order to escort him safely onto the grounds, and then the fun could begin! She bounced on her toes as she walked rapidly that way, waiting to give the signal to whoever was watching the front gate today.
Mettle was walking up the road to the Xavier school, excited to meet his friend and also meet some new people. He'd gotten permission to not only leave the academy, but also hang out all day at the school, and there were butterflies in his stomach, especially at the thought of meeting Dazzler. As he neared the gate, he saw Mercury and smiled, waving at her. This was going to be fun! "Hey Mercury, how are you?" he asked, grinning as the gate swung open and his friend grabbed his arm. "I couldn't sleep much last night, was to excited!" she admitted as she waved her arm around. "This is the outside, over there is the sports area. A lot of the kids play basketball and run, and sometimes if we're lucky, we'll get to see the quinjet take off!"
Mettle nodded, having heard all about the X-Men and their missions around the world. He was also looking at everything, grinning at the sight of kids playing, using their powers and having fun. Before he knew it, they were inside and headed to Mercury's room, going down a long hallway. "Is that the simulation room?" he asked, pointing down one of the corridors, but Mercury shook her head. "Those are mainly classrooms and storage rooms. We'll go check out that place later, we need adult supervision though" she explained, rolling her eyes even though she understood why.
"This is my room!" she declared, throwing open the door, and Mettle stepped inside, whistling. "Nice! You room with anyone?" he asked, leading to another shake of the head. "I get my own space, mainly for privacy issues. That way if I get goopy or something weird happens, no one else has to see me slop around." she explained with a chuckle. "Well, privacy is always nice" Mettle countered, glancing out the window before asking "So what do we do first?" Mercury chuckled and replied "It's up to you! What would you like to do first? The cafeteria's still open or we could go visit some students or teachers." She plopped on her bed while she waited for Mettle to decide, this was his day after all!
