"We'll show you our's if you show us your's."

And it's probably one of the worst things Charles can say. It probably constitutes sexual harassment, especially when he and Erik are sitting on not so comfortable chairs in an office situated in the middle of the city.

Hello-my-name-is-Holly laughs out loud. It's obnoxious, and Erik think that the lamp behind her is looking like a good weapon. NO ONE LAUGHS AT CHARLES' RIDICULOUS MUTANT PICK UP LINES. NO ONE.

Charles sets a hand on his companions knee, and nods. Erik glares at her as he lifts his arms in the most glorious of all jazz poses.

Hello-my-name-is-Holly stops laughing, stares bewildered as the pen in her hand shakes and wobbles, then contorts into one of the most beautiful mini statutes she had ever seen.

"My god…"

You see, Holly, you have a gift, like us. You're not alone.

And Holly smiles, even though the sensation of having someone in her head made her want to hurl.

"Like a good neighbor," She whispers near inaudibly. "Statefarm is there with a stuffed panda bear."

Like magic, a small stuffed animal appears in Erik's lap. He looks down to the panda then picks it up.

"That is…" For the first time, Charles is at a lost for words.

It's Erik that breaks the silence that follows.

"Does it always happen like that?"

Holly shakes her head. "No, others can add what they want. It just happens."

"May we try?" Charles bites his lip, eyes impossibly wide.

"Sure." Holly smiles. "Like a good neighbor Statefarm is there with a-"

"New leather jacket."

Erik smiles a shark tooth grin when one flops down on the desk  front of him. Charles gave him an odd look before he stood up and screamed:

"AND CAN I GET A HOT TUB!"

The two other mutants stare at him and hear a loud cracking sound.

"Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no." Holly stands up and walks to the door muttering about property damage.

Charles and Erik exchange a look.

"You know she's a keeper." Charles leans in towards Erik, hand on his thigh. "Imagine the possibilities."
