Piper smiled happily, slipping into her tanktop and pants. THe chains rattling slightly as she pulled the zipper up. With a sigh of sudden relief and relaxation she shortened the length of her hair some more and moved closer to the table. As someone lead her to a gawdy, dressed up chair she sat down and looked at the pile of gifts before her. "Wow..." she thought out-loud, unable to move her eyes from the fixated position they were in. "Thats um...one mammoth pile..." She thought out loud again, this time a little quieter.

"Then I suggest you get busy opening them instead of just staring at them, Piper." *Leandra grinned slightly, briefly leaving Piper's side to grab a soda and let other people crowd around the table. Lea had never been one to get too excited about these things, so she let others who enjoyed this much more than she did crowd around Piper and tell her which boxes she should open first.*

Bombarded by, "OPEN THIS FIRST" or "Here...open mine..." or "No..open mine.." Piper picked the smallest little package there. It was from Leandra. "Ill open this one first..." she said, untieing it and opening it. Her eyes lit up when she saw its contents...
((You psot what i got ;D))

Alex's eyes widened sligtly behind her glasses as she accepted the plate. She tentaviely picked up the fork and began to eat the cake. Making quick work of the cake she still remained in her corner, watching Piper as she began to open the presents.
She noticed that her present, wrapped in a black with a thick red ribbon was near the top of the pile. She shook her head slightly as she thought, Should have used different colors.... and watched with slight interest as Piper let out an exclamation of delight over the first present. She wondered breifly if she had gotten her the right present. She had noticed Piper eyeing a certain book series at the local book store and had seen that she hadn't bought it.
Wishing feverently that no one else had gotten her the same thing, she waited with her hands twirling the fork around her fingers. She didn't raise an eyebrow as Patrick stood by her and said easily, "You could always come where the rest of us are." She tipped her glasses down her nose, letting him see her slightly incredulous glance which seemed more dark due to her unnatural eyes. "Yo' kiddin raht? Folks tend t' see me as a tickin tahme bomb." Patrick chuckled, "Well you do make things go boom." She had to laugh at that, a slightly humorless laugh, "Yah true.... So, what did yo' an' Angie get fer her?" Patrick grinned and said, "You'll see."
((you didnt think i'd go on without addin in Patrick did you?))

((Of course not. lol. I've mentioned nearly every character I have... nearly.))
*Leandra smirked as she noticed that Piper was opening her gift first. She took a sip of her soda, moving a little closer to Piper's chair, despite the crowd gathered around it. She watched her expression carefully as she opened the matching jolly roger hair clips that went perfectly with her choker, as well as a Hot Topic gift card.*

*Leandra briefly glanced across the room, her eyes leaving Piper for a moment as she noticed the boy from earlier, Draven, standing by the window. She watched him for a second as he watched Piper, taking note of his strange appearance, especially his eyes. However, she quickly returned her attention to Piper again, anxiously waiting for her to say something.*

Kendra was still working on her cake as she watched Piper open presents. She'd never been the greatest at gift-giving, and wondered what she'd think of the little faerie statuette.
Most girls liked faeries, right? Kendra did.

"Oh my god! I was soooo gonna buy these!" Piper squeal with enthusiasm, quickly growing her hair longer with a rub of her hand so she could wear them. Clipping them in they pulled her hair back and outlined her face a little more, defining it and making it prettier. "How do i look?" She asked, looking around at everyone with a smile. She held the gift card in her hand, wanting to explode inside with exitement.

Draven moved his shoulders a bit, his coat rubbing his wings the wrong way. He never took that coat off in public, even if it was 100 degree weather. He continued watching Piper as she opened her gifts, and chuckled a bit as she excitedly put the clips in her hair, asking how she looked. "You look great." he called out to answer her question.

She smiled, and sifted around for the next gift she liked. Ignoring please of "OPEN THIS ONE!" and "Please open mine?" and "Open this one come on!" and "You'll love this!" She found another package, this one wrapped in pink with a silver bow. It was signed by Draven. She smiled as she picked it up and carefully undid the bow. She smiled and her face lit up as she saw the biggest Edgar Allan Poe book she had ever set eyes on, it was perfect. It had every story she liked in it, from the poem "The Raven" to "The Tell-Tale Heart", and everyone knew Piper just LOVED Edgar Allan Poe! "OH MY GOD! THANK YOU THANK YOU!" She said, hugging the book.

Draven gave a small smile as he saw her expression. He was relieved to know that he got her a good present. Draven continued to lean against the window as he watched her open her other presents.

Piper quickly put the book down near her other book and giftcard, reaching through the pile and coming to a small package with Black Wrapping and a red bow. She smiled, knowing almost instantly it was Alexis' gift. As she un-wrapped it, she felt the exstacy of axiousness boil up inside her, and as she reached the climatic end she could do nothing to squelch the excitement. And when she saw the cover of "Beneath The Rotting Moon" she squealed. It was one of her favorite book series on vampires, and she only got a chance to read them at the library. And these were the good hardcover ones! "YAY! I LOVE THIS BOOK SERIES! THANK YOU THANK YOU! THANKS ALEXIS!" She squealed, hugging the package to her chest before placing it with the others.

Draven laughed quietly at how exciteable Piper was. "wow... must be one hell of a book." he said quietly to himself. He pushed himself away from the window, and was thinking about heading back to his room.

*Relieved to see that Piper had liked her gift, Leandra once again moved away from the crowd. She could hear Piper's squeals of excitement as she opened her other gifts, and she simply shook her head with a smile. It was then that Leandra paused a moment, her sensitive hearing picking up on the faint noise of that familiar wheelchair. She immediately looked toward the doorway just in time to see Professor Xavier pass by. A smile was on his lips but there was such a sadness in his eyes as he briefly surveyed the students gathered that Leandra's smile immediately vanished. However, just as quickly as he had come, he was gone. Leandra moved to stand by the doorway, leaning against the frame as she thought about just how melancholy the Professor had been lately... and how every other professor was missing... She tried not to think too hard about it, blankly watching Piper from across the room...*
