2nd floor common room, Thursday afternoon

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

Miley dumped her last suitcase on the floor and flopped onto a couch. Even with only bringing the essentials, she was carrying way more luggage than the average 14 year old should have. She stared at the pile of suitcases, garment bags and makeup cases next to her and decided that vegging out in front of the TV seemed like a plan.

A very lazy plan, but a plan.

[Open!]

"Sorta." Miley said sheepishly. "Hi, I'm Miley."

Molly's grin widened. "Hi, Miley. I'm Molly. You just get here or is this one of several treks to bring in all of your luggage?" she teased.

"Nice to meet you, Molly." Miley grinned back and shook her head. "No, this is everything. Well, not everything but all I brought with me."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"You need any help getting it to your room?" Molly looked around at everything. "I think I could get it all in one trip if we stack it right."

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Uh, these are actually packed with things." Miley said slowly. "Several of them with very chunky shoes."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly nodded. "Yeah. It'd be no problem," she said with a grin. "I'm a lot stronger than I look."

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"I'm not exactly a weakling myself and this took me...more trips that I care to think about." Miley shrugged and lifted herself off the couch to start stacking boxes. "I could use the help, I guess. Thanks."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Cool," Molly said, hopping up. "Then we can come back here and watch TV."

She started picking up suitcases and stacking them flat on top of each other. Then she put whatever boxes would fit on top of that. Finally, she laid all of the garment bags on top. Once she was satisfied that the pile was stable, she grabbed a makeup case in each hand and easily picked up the whole pile. "Okay, so I couldn't get everything," she admitted. "But, that is just because I can't stack it any higher. What room number are we off to?"

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"210?" Miley was more than a little shocked and she waved down a hallway. "It's uh...I think it's down that way."

"How the heck are you lifting that?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned again and headed down to 210. "I'm a mutant," she said, peeking around the stack in her arms. "I'm not from what you would probably call a normal version of Earth. Comic books are made up stories where you come from, right?"

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Mutant." Miley was beginning to think that the squirrel from the sign in desk was the most normal thing she had seen all day. "Comic books are real life where you're from?"

[*facepalm* Hey, I'm just impressed that I was logged in under the right account. ;) ]

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly nodded. "They're based on real super heroes and villains. I was really shocked when I found out that the comic books I can get here are all made up. Anyway, I'm a mutant and I have super strength. I'm not a super hero though. Not really."

[[It made me snicker. :D]]

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"If super strength doesn't make you a superhero, what does?" Miley opened the door to 210 and pointed towards the empty bed.

"Uh, anywhere is fine, I think."

[La, it's a handwavy room description since I've not talked with the new roomie yet.]

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly walked into the room and set the luggage down on the bed Miley had pointed at. "Your actions make you a super hero," she said as she began unstacking the pile. "And what other people think of you."

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"So other people don't think you're a superhero so you're not one?" Miley took a stack of garment bags and hung them in the closet. "That seems kinda unfair."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly laughed a little. "Before I came here, me and my friends were hiding from the authorities. Even though we were fighting bad guys, we were trying to stay hidden because we didn't want to get separated. So, a lot of people weren't sure what we were doing."

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Some people weren't sure you were the good guys, huh? That sorta sucks." Miley took a look at the stacks of luggage and pointed towards the door. "I say we head back to tv watching."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned. "Okay!" She headed back out the door. "Oh, hey! Where are you from and what year?"

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"I'm from Malibu, California." Miley said as she headed towards the common room. "Uh...year? I'm a freshman."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned brightly again. "I'm from LA! And I'm a Sophomore, but I meant what year was it at home for you? It's 2007 here, but it's 2010 when I go home. There are a lot of different people here from way in the past or the future so it's an important question."

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Yay! Another Cali girl!" Miley grinned. "It's 2007 at home too so I guess I'm from the current time."

"What's the future like?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you know, hovercars in every driveway and we teleport to Europe every afternoon." Molly nodded and tried to keep a straight face, but a grin quickly broke through.

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Just to Europe?" Miley laughed. "How lame. I would think you'd be advanced enough to teleport to outer space."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Oh, we don't need to. All of the aliens come to us." Molly was grinning more now.

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Drawn by the promise of their own hovercars?"
