Dreams (Open); Lily has a hard time sleeping

2 AM

Lily Stone wasn't a happy mutant, she had tried sleeping since 11pm and no matter what she did she couldn't get off to sleep, she had tried counting sheep, listening to music and even sea noises, nothing was helping her to sleep tonight. Lily hadn't been able to sleep well for a while, she didn't know what it was maybe it was her mutation reacting to the summer or something but no matter what she did she simply could not get to sleep.

She was currently curled up in the co ed lounge with a blanket draped over her feet with a cup of hot chocolate that she had gotten from the kitchen a little earlier, she enjoyed the peacefulness of the lounge's in the student rooms at night, they were nice an peaceful as opposed to how loud they could be in the day.

Lily was ignoring her real problem, she kept having nightmares of a wall of water hitting her and she was unable to stop it, she had no idea what it was about or what it meant all she knew was that it scared her to death.She would have to work more on expanding and working on her powers tomorrow er that would be later today. Lily then put her headphones in on low and listened to the music of boys like girls.

On this lovely night, Sam was fast asleep, almost like a Pokemon that had been sung to by a Jigglypuff. In the recent events of the X-Men, shit had been going down, and it, as usual, had taken a toll on his sleep schedule. So when he had a night like this to just crash before midnight, he took the opportunity. He didn't even read on in his new favorite book, Children of the Mind. He just took the one chance to get his full eight hours that he would likely get in a very long time.

But, alas, all good things come to an end. This one, earlier than usual.

There was some rustling coming from the co-ed lounge, which was exasperatingly close to his room. It was almost as annoying as the sea sounds that he had heard before getting to his bed. "Ah'm not allowed to be happy, dammit!"

Sam put on a pair of basketball shorts and a wife beater, having only been in his boxers before then. That may not have been the best attire in case the person causing the rustling was worth getting dressed for.

Stepping out of his room, the young man took quiet steps, and closed his door in a long, drawn out process in case any more people would be bothered by the sound at this hour. Approaching the chairs, he could see a female body curled up in a blanket, sitting still for the most part.

Whispering to prevent any other bodies to put to bed, Sam attempted to get the young girl's attention. Nearing being at her side, the bumpkin could now tell who the young lady was. It's that new girl, named Lily. Maybe Gilly...probably not. "Hey there, Lily, is it? Ah can't say Ah understand why it is you're awake, but lights out was a few hours ago, and we're all kind of expected to be in our rooms, and to stay there until the morning comes. Ah know you're new and all, but you really gotta follow our rules if you want us to respect yours."

It was...a bit exasperating, to say the least. It seemed like every time a new body showed up in their dorms, they felt the need to break as many rules as possible before they left the Institute for other business ventures.

Lily was sitting with her head phones in listening to the music blissfully unaware that there was anyone else in the room as she lay on the very comfortable couch half between sleep and awake wanting to be able to fall asleep but for some reason was unable to, first she had tried sleeping in her own room, that didn't work, then she had tried sleeping in the girl's lounge and that hadn't worked so now she was trying to sleep with her deep blue blanket over her legs but that still didn't seem to be working.

She turned and put her ipod on the table near the couch she caught sight of Sam in the door way and the poor girl nearly had a heart attack and barely caught herself in time as she nearly fell off of the couch and onto the floor which certainly would have awoken some of at least the dorm that was just past Sam in that hallway. Lily took a moment to compose herself and chuckled drily before taking the blanket off of her legs and turning to face Sam.

"Sorry i had my ipod in, I didn't even hear you come in" she said "did you say something?"

Only after his little speech did the young man notice that she had headphones in. Now more annoyed than he already had been, he sighed. Promptly afterwards, he seemed to give the girl a bit of a scare. He attempted to blow off a little steam by chuckling about it, but it only increased his frustration.

"Sorry, I had my iPod in, I didn't even hear you come in," she said "Did you say something?"

"Sorry for scaring you, did not mean to, but, uh, yeah. Ah did. First off, you walking down the hallway woke me up from a really well deserved rest, and secondly, it's way past our curfew, and you really aren't supposed to be in here at this hour. If you're having trouble sleeping, which pretty much all of us do during high-pressure times like these, it is definitely understandable, but ya still gotta keep in your room 'till the morning comes."

He nodded matter - of - factly at the girl, and shrugged shortly afterwards. He then cocked his head at the hot chocolate that she had been drinking. "Say, where'd you get that? Looks mighty good... Ah mean, uh, daw, forget it, Ah won't tattle on you if you keep quiet about this and lemme have a sip of that."

"I'm sorry about waking you up," Raine said "i thought was being pretty quite.

Raine then had to bite back her own snarky nature and tell Sam that really morning had come, it was 2am Raine had seen people around the mansion before today up at two am, she knew for a fact that there would probably be someone in the danger room right now, probably Titan but that wasn't the point she could understand where Sam was coming from, she was just having a really hard time getting to sleep in that room.

"Say, where'd you get that? Looks mighty good..." Sam said "Ah mean, uh, daw, forget it, Ah won't tattle on you if you keep quiet about this and lemme have a sip of that."

Raine looked at the cup of hot chocolate and shrugged, she hadn't really wanted to finish it herself and if Sam wanted to she wasn't really going to stop him, just as long as he didn't want her to take the glass down and wash it out or something she wouldn't do that for anyone especially if they had just assumed that she would do it for them.

"Sure," she said holding out the cup to Sam "all yours,"
