It seems to have randomly become common practice around here to leave the building, usually into terrible danger, with very little to no prior knowledge. First the retrieval and now the “Auntie Em” trips.

Don’t you dare tell me that saying, “We’re going to town for the weekend to hit a fabulous party! Oh yeah, and before that we’re going to put ourselves into moral peril for a bit.” the morning of your departure is an explanation either.

I have no problems with having fun, getting away from it all or even the fact that part of having this mutation means that you have to put it to good use, even if good use involves a battle grounds of sort. Not telling anyone, however? Not cool.

It is very distressing to wake up to go running and realize that the building is nearly void of all adults.

I’m new here and I was unaware that this occasionally happens. It was very panicking to realize that people that I care about had suddenly disappeared during the night. Even a note of the ‘fridge would have helped.

I won’t even get into the trip with Ms. Frost. It’s great that you have acquired valuable information, I’m very proud of all of you, but you also all mean a great deal to me. I hate it when you people go and get yourself into trouble like this. I was worried all weekend and didn’t even have anyone to go to as my brother is out, Alison has… well, Jono was on some mission, my roommate was with him and my other roommate is presumed dead!

Why is no one talking about Em? I haven't seen her? Is she okay?

I know I’m making a big deal out of nothing but since we’re being totally honest right now I didn’t get any sleep all weekend and it makes me somewhat cranky.

I’m going out running again. I’ll delete this when I get back.

Oh, and Lorna? I need to talk to you, please.

Happy Labor Day, all.

Did you miss the Professor's meeting thing? Mr. Summers went to get Rogue and I guess she's probably in medlab now, or something.

. . . I dunno. With that, and yeah, like you said, everybody going off and doing stuff all the time, and getting hurt, and freaking giant robots with death rays, this weekend has just been . . . I'm trying to think of something big enough to do to, I dunno, make the world look sane again. This is not the way life is supposed to be.

Man, that list of things I can't tell my parents or they'll freak out just gets longer and longer.

How do you feel about 10 Things I hate About You? It always makes me feel better...

I'll be in my room. Feel free to come on over, I'm not doing anything that can't be interupted.

So are you upset that we went in the first place, or just that we didn't warn you?

Um...in the spirit of trying this over, and getting to know you and be friends with you, if you need to talk about stuff, I'm available. Okay? And if it's not me, talk to _someone_. Otherwise I'll worry. That's what I do about friends who are stressed out. :)

Paige, I'm sorry you were so worried, but the world is not going to give us the luxury of the time and space we need to do things within the comfort zone. I can assure you that it was not my intent to place anyone in serious danger this past weekend, but Jono and Sarah were in the safest hands you can image. They weren't obliged to accompany me, and I would never have asked them if I didn't think they were ready.

Nor would I have taken them if I didn't think it was right for them. I appreciate that not every student needs to be a fighter - though you do all need to be able to protect yourselves - but some of you clearly have the potential, and I consider it part of my role as your teacher to identify and direct that potential. This is not a normal school.

Would you like some help sleeping? Or some help staying awake?

I thought you knew.

...

Gee, I'm so sorry I wasn't here, and now I feel just awful and I wish I'd been able to help and...

Yeah. :((
