"Good morning comrades! What a wonderful morning this is!" Piotr's voice shot out for everyone to hear when he stepped out of his tent with Enya at his side.. Colossus was in a great mood and waved at everyone as Enya headed for the food line that had formed.. Piotr waved to D and Dante and the others he had not seen in a long time.. He had hoped after grabbing their food he could catch up with them.. Enya was glad she had decided to eat before putting on her dress. "You were right, Piotr. Great advice to wait," she said as she stood in line to get breakfast. "I do not need to get syrup all over that dress."
For the first time in a long time, Enya was truly happy. Things were calm, and the Professor's announcement was something everyone seemed to be waiting for and not dreading for once. She just wished Callan had been able to get here for this glorious day, but her son was in Asia somewhere doing a bit of mercenary work.
"I'm glad you like the dress I picked out," she said with a smile to Piotr. "Do you want a cup of coffee while we wait for the waffles? I can float one over if you'd like?"

"Good seeing you too, Wade," D said to Deadpool in response, "Even though I'm underwater, it feels good to be back on Earth. Plenty of planets in the galaxy are comfortable to live on, but the gravity is different. And gravity generators in space ships never felt natural enough. This is a good feeling."Dante nodded along to D. He hadn't spent much time in space ships crossing the multiverse, but he'd been on his own fair share of planets, and plenty of alternate versions of Earth. Those were all different in their own ways, from more magic in the air to physics being broken or even Earth itself dying. Nothing felt as comfortable as the version of Earth he was on now, even if he didn't fully think he was in the right universe. "This is all the real deal techno-organic virus," Dante replied to Deadpool. "Was trapped on a world where Cyclops became Captain America. He and Cable lead a combined team of X-Men and Avengers. Long story short, they died, I got banged up and needed an arm, and Nate's was the only one available at the time. The face and the yellow eye came with the package."D turned his attention from Deadpool to the woman who walked over. He could tell what she was doing by the way she was staring at him, but he thought nothing of it. "You must be new," He said to her. "I am not new, I am Kunou. I am Wade's woman." She said, as matter of fact as ever. Despite Deadpool trying to teach her about humor, she often fell back into old habits when others were around. If ever there seemed a case of opposites attracting, it was here between the merc with the mouth and this attractive but cold ex weapon.

Kura sat a ways away from the main group of tents, where the morning was beginning to give birth to an exciting bustle. It was a day of celebration, and she just felt like she really shouldn't be here. Her heart was heavy with the knowledge that the young X-Men would have to go back to their time somehow, and that she could not follow. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't go, but she wasn't sure she wanted to stay here without them. Without Hank. She loved him, and losing him frightened her. What if she went mad like this world's phoenix had? Being born as a human was supposed to give her the chance to grow and mature like a human did, to understand the emotions so she could know what it was like to be human without being overwhelmed. It was supposed to keep her from becoming a monster. Sometimes she wished the mental blocks Jean had put in her mind had stayed in place. Then she could have remained just Kura, the odd daughter of Jean and Logan who was made of metal, not the all powerful world destroying cosmic being called Phoenix. Then, maybe, she wouldn't be so terrified of a broken heart. "Why so glum?" The voice came from behind the young woman as another person walked over, only to trip on a rock. "Dios mío!" She exclaimed before she stopped stumbling. She stood in eye-sight of Kura, revealing her unnatural blue hair, shaved on one side of her head. Unlike many others who were getting dressed up for the wedding, she was dressed casually in a red off-shoulder t-shirt, purple skinny jeans, and matching purple and red Nike SB Dunk sneakers. She had matching headphones wrapped around her neck. And although the volume was turned down, you could still hear Kanye West playing in the background. On her face were super dark large rimmed sunglasses. Most importantly, her shirt was decorated with the "Magneto Was Right" logo right at the center. Even without Magneto's face on her shirt, it was obvious that she was wearing his classic colors. There wasn't a chair for her to sit down on, so she made one for herself by shifting the ground into a nice seat for her. "The festivities look like they're going to be a lot of fun. Put a smile on that face." As she got comfortable, two cups of coffee began to float over and landed on the armrest of the chair before cup holders formed out of it for them to rest in. Where the cups came from, no one knew. Where she came from was just as much of a question. "My name is Marcela, what's yours?" "Ah, I'm Kurenai. People usually just call me Kura.. " She said, brushing her crimson hair from her face and turning eyes nearly the same shade on the blue haired woman. "Thanks for the coffee. There was a time I didn't touch the stuff, but not anymore."She gave a half hearted chuckle. " I'm afraid I'm not really very good company right now." She said, looking down mournfully at the cup. "I just.. don't really have it in me to celebrate." In truth she was actually kind of jealous. A group wedding. So much happiness, so much togetherness. They were lucky they get to keep the ones they love.

Hanna had been in a solo tent for the night trying to get used to being back with her extended family. She hadn't had a chance to talk with her grandfather yet but knew she would have the opportunity soon enough. Her outfit for the galaxy was prepped and ready but for the moment she decided to wear something a little more comfortable.
She wore a short boho style dress cut along the thigh with light and dark green accents and a pair of brown leather boots. Claire, the Gold Queen and Emma's daughter had helped her pick some things for the party which Hanna had been very appreciative.

“Seth!!!” Gabby shouted as she busted into the tent to get to him. Thankfully Seth just finished getting dressed and was surprised by his sister sudden arrival at first.
“Do you smell that!?.. That’s Bishop’s famous peanut butter banana waffles!. If you have ever had his very special waffle you understand why I so excited!” Gabby excitedly explain as she wore a black and yellow striped dress.. "Morning, Gabby!" Seth shouted to his sister as he pocketed the necklace for his mom before they walked out of the tent. "I love that dress. You look great," he said as he sniffed the air and smelled the waffles. "I was super little when I had those waffles, but I do remember them. Let's get on line before everyone else eats them."
Seth turned and almost grabbed his phone, but he decided against it. He had already seen texts from his aunts and uncle, and he knew they couldn't make it today. The less said on that the better.
"Wow, everybody is so dressed up," he said as he straightened his blue button down shirt and made sure his blue dress pants didn't have dirt on them. "I guess I'm used to seeing everyone in uniform. This is a nice change," he added as they finally got on line. "Hey, is that Loki over there?"

"Shona! What did I tell you about running!" Piper shouted as she got to the area where all the X-Men had gathered for this event or whatever it was being called. "Please, honey, do not run into anyone!"
The precocious 5 year-old girl broke away from her mama and ran toward, and thankfully past, a large group of people on line to get food. "Aunt Skibnees!" she wailed as she ran looking for any woman that looked like the one in the picture she clutched in her hand.
"Shona! Please do not run into...Dante? D?" Piper said as she stopped short. "Wade? And I'm sorry if I can't greet you all, but I haven't been with you all in a long time. I'm Piper MacLeod, that was my daughter Shona, and this is...oh no you don't..."
By now the little boy in her arms was trying to levitate out of them and toward Deadpool. Piper tugged him back into her arms and took a deep breath. "Brodie, please listen to Mama. I can't have you flying all over the place today. At least not until Auntie Skibnees gets to meet you. Sydney. Auntie Sydney."
There was a scream from across the way as Shona tackled Sydney just outside her tent. "Coffee? Sure, I'd love some," Piper added as she balanced the squirming toddler on her hip for a moment. "If I set him down, he'll fly to the top of the dome. And I am sure Syd is going to come over and holler about her expensive dress. Never changes, does it?"

"Saber! Elizabeth!" Loki shouted as he gave Saber a hug and then kissed Betsy's hand. "It is a great day to share such mirth and merriment. Yes, Xavier sent an invitation, as did my sister Elda. Like the rest of the world that knows about it, I am very curious about this momentous announcement. Whatever is in the works, I am sure it will be glorious."
Loki looked back to see Faith still standing there, shaking like a leaf. "I may excuse myself later to check on her again," he said as he motioned toward Faith. "I am sure I scared her, but it might be more than that."
As he looked at Saber's cloak, Loki remembered all the adventures the two had when the New Mutants were in Asgard. "Has the time come for us to regale the younger set with tales of your time in Asgard? The cloak suits you well. It always did."
"I thought that was you brother....."Elda said walking up to them. She wore a orange dress with a necklace that had various Asgardian symbols on it. "You look beautiful Betsy and Saber just as handsome as always." She said before turning to Loki. "And brother its always good to see you." She said giving him a hug. "Elda!" Loki shouted as he turned to embrace his sister. "You look as stunning as ever, and I am glad we will be sharing this day together," he added before a tiny terror ran past them and tackled someone who appeared to be her aunt. "There is never a dull moment here, is there?" he chuckled as the girl started to send a shower of butterflies into the air around her. "Oh! Saber, you might have a new student for your magic classes. I remember Mother doing that when I was a child."
Loki smiled as he turned back to Elda. "How have you been enjoying your time with your X-Men family, Elda?"

The moment that no one, or was that everyone, was dreading had finally arrived.
The members of the Clan MacFeorais and the Clan DalCais who had planned to attend the weddings and Xavier's big announcement had, for the most part anyway, landed en masse in X-Atlantis.
Heaven help the X-Men.
"Oh, would you look at that," Fachtna DalCais said as she carefully set foot into the area where everyone was gathered. "I didn't burst into flames!"
"Would you please cut that out," Eavan MacFeorais grumbled as their nephews, Rory and Donal MacFeorais, carried in several large boxes. "You are not going to explode, implode or ignite. You are also not going to go hitting on any Atlanteans today. Please. We do not need another bad wedding story to add to the Stark one."
"Look at all the fish," Aerfen DalCais, their niece, said as she watched all the sea creatures outside the dome. Fachtna wasn't so sure Aerfen should attend because of her mental health issues, but her twin brother Ardan had insisted they both attend so they could see their brother Eamonn.
"If things start to go pear-shaped, I am out of here," Fachtna said as she shook her head. "They don't even know us. Not really, anyway. And they all have heard the damned stories about the Stark wedding thanks to that horrible show on the telly. That man didn't even get the details right!"

"Welcome!" A voice said as the queen of Atlantis walked up to the newly arrived group. As her husband had other things on his mind Crystal had taken a bigger role over helping run the affairs of this part of Atlantis. "I trust you had a pleasant journey here?"

As her husband had other things on his mind Crystal had taken a bigger role over helping run the affairs of this part of Atlantis. "I trust you had a pleasant journey here?" "Your Majesty," Eavan said as she and Fachtna curtsied to the queen of Atlantis. Kari had explained that she and Crystal were related through the Summers bloodline, but it still got a bit confusing for anyone who was not an actual part of the X-Men. "Thank you for your hospitality. Yes, our arrival was a safe and pleasant one. It has been a very long time since any of us has set foot in Atlantis, and it is a great honor to be here once again. I'm Eavan MacFeorais, and this is Fachtna DalCais. Kari Summers is our niece."Eavan silently prayed that Fachtna would not start babbling on about her tryst with that Atlantean soldier just yet. That was eons ago anyway, and she doubted anyone would care in the least.
Aerfen turned to look at Crystal and smiled. "You bring peace here. I can tell."
"This is our niece, Aerfen DalCais, and her brother Ardan. Our other nephews Donal and Rory MacFeorais are setting the gifts down back there," Eavan added as she smiled at Crystal. "You have made this place most inviting for the festivities today."

Syd had just set down her coffee when she was slammed backward by a very frisky little girl. "Aunt Skibnees! Aunt Skibnees!"
"Uh what?" Sydney asked as she tried to get the girl off her so she could sit up. "Sweetie, you may have the wrong lady. I'm sorry."
"NO!" girl shouted as she stomped one foot and then sent a shower of butterflies into the air. She finally handed Sydney the photograph in her hand--one of Piper, Sydney and Rose. "Auntie Skibnees! I found you! That's Mama in the picture," she added as she pointed to Piper in the photo.
"Holy moley!" Sydney said, trying not to use any curse words around the girl. "Whoo hoo! I'm an aunt! I have no idea how, but I'm an aunt!"
"Is that Uncle Dante?" the girl asked as she pointed toward where her Mama was standing.
"No, he is not my husband, pumpkin. I am sure he will tell you what he'd like you to call him. We can ask later. And hey, what is your name?" Sydney asked as the girl smiled at her.
"Shona Winifred Ferguson MacLeod!"
"Piper, why did you stick this poor child with my birth name as a middle name?" Sydney asked as she shook her head. "Ferguson? You never dated a Ferguson. Did you meet him in Portland?"
"My Mummy died fighting demons. So did my Daddy," Shona said as she sniffed a bit. "But Mama was there to help me and Brodie. He's with Mama," she added as her all-too tragic past came quickly to light.
"I am so sorry, sweetie," Sydney said as she hugged Shona. Syd looked at Hayley and sniffed away a few of her own tears. "Let's go back to Mama and get you some of those fancy waffles."

Loki smiled as he turned back to Elda. "How have you been enjoying your time with your X-Men family, Elda?" Betsy looked over at her husband with a smirk on her face and then looked over at Loki with the same smirk.
“I know some of your adventures together would be inappropriate to be told in public.” Betsy said as she gave Loki a wink which brought a smile on his and Saber’s face.
“For now we should grab our food and make our way to the table and continue our conversation.” Betsy said as Saber put his arm around her.TBC (X-Holiday) Atlantis...Part 12
