"You Had Me At Ye!" Part 1
One day at the Charles Xavier Institute for Lower Learning, Storm was sitting in the kitchen browsing the Internet for Wakandan movies to download when a woman jumped through one of the kitchen windows and began choking her.
Storm: (gasping for air) "Was it something I said? Something I didn't say?"
The woman said nothing but continued squeezing Storm's throat to render her unconscious. A few seconds later, Emma strolled into the kitchen.
Emma: "Hey Storm, do we have any sugar packets? I need some for my coffee."
Storm: "Um, I'm just a little busy getting CHOKED right now!"
Emma: "So is that a yay or a nay on the sugar packets?"
Storm: (eyes rolling back in her head) "Bottom...arrggh....drawer., left....ug,ug, arrrgghh....left side!"
After Storm fell unconscious to the floor, Emma stepped on her stomach to get to the sugar packets. Once all the sugar packets were confiscated, she looked at Storm.
Emma: "It's not even 9 a.m. yet, Storm, and you're already taking a nap?"

Series Opening there plays here, followed by a commercial for a cereal so sweet that it knocks kids' teeth out right after the first bite.

Storm awakened on the floor to see the woman standing over her.
Storm: "You're still here? Don't make me use my mutant powers."
Woman: "You do not scare me, mutant."
Storm wiped some more dust onto her X-Men uniform. "What's this all about, exactly? I don't even know you!"
Woman: "My name is Eva, and you stole my amulet!"

Elsewhere in the school, Emma walked into the den and saw a grizzly bear standing next to a coffee pot.
Bear: "What up?"
Emma: "Not much. I've never seen you around here before. Are you a mutant?"
Bear: "Nah, I just wandered in after waking up from hibernation. I'm Ted E. Bear."
Emma: "I'm single er I mean I'm Emma Frost. If you need a tour of the school, just let me know. I'd be more than happy to show you around the place."
Ted: "I would like that very much, Emma."
Emma blushed. "Has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like this teddy bear I used to have when I was 9?"
Wolverine walked into the room. "She still has that teddy bear to this day. Sometimes she takes it outside with her, like on dates...just the two of them."
Emma: "Shut up, Logan! No I don't! ANYWAY, Ted, like I was saying, I used to have this teddy bear that looked just like you..."
Ted: "Actually, I have been told that before by a few people...about how I look like teddy bears they used to have when they were younger."
Emma: "I lost that teddy bear when I was 11 and I've been looking for a replacement ever since."
Ted: "Can I have that tour now?"
Emma: "Of course."

Storm was hiding under a desk in one of the upstairs classrooms when she saw Emma and Ted walk into the room and hold hands.
Storm: "Well there's something you don't see every day."
Emma: "You mean me holding hands with a bear?"
Storm: "No, I was referring to you wearing pants. I guess you didn't feel like shaving those sasquatch legs of yours this morning. And I'll have you know that you're not the first female to ever hold hands with a bear, or any animal, for that matter. Before I ever met T'Challa, I once held hands with a killer whale."
Ted: "Whales don't have hands."
Storm: "You know, now that I think about it, I KNEW there was something "fishy" about that whale!"
Ted: "Well, hopefully you two had a "whale" of a good time!"
Storm held her sides, pretended to laugh heartily and then glared at Ted.
Emma: "Ororo, why are you under that desk?"
Storm: "There's this woman out to hurt me, since I stole her amulet. Can I help it if I like to steal shiny objects?"
At that moment, Charles Xavier passed by with his shiny bald head, and Storm jumped out from under the desk and attempted to stuff the professor's shiny head in her pocket.
Emma sighed.
Jubilee ran into the classroom and said "Storm?"
Storm: "Shhh! Not so loud, Jubilation! That woman might find me!"
Jubilee: (even louder than before) "WHAT WOMAN, STORM? FROM WHOM ARE YOU HIDING?"
Eva: "She's hiding from THIS woman."
Eva grabbed Storm's head and put it through a wall; Jubilee, Emma and Ted watched the beat-down for several minutes.
Jubilee: "That hurt, huh Storm?"
Storm wandered around in a daze, trying to remember who she was. Eva ripped the amulet from around Storm's neck and placed it around her own. As soon as the amulet touched Eva's neck, the mirror in the Ladies Washroom on the 5th floor opened up.
Storm: "What's so special about that amulet, anyway?"
A far-away gaze appeared in Eva's pink eyes.
Eva: "My lover is in the building."
Emma giggled and hugged Ted.
Emma: "What a coincidence! So is mine!"
