Being raised a debutant Pearl was used to throwing parties and bashes. With the new group of students just becoming acclimated to life here in the 'school for the strange,' as it was often called. There were many of the students who had been there a year, or two, that she still didn't really know well either. So much of the school was individual and specialized. So this was the perfect opportunity for everyone to 'bond' a little more. WIth popcorn, chips, candy, and sodas set out in a cute little arrangement on the flat surfaces in her room, Pearl gave a few final touches to her makeup and hair, then flung open the door to her apartment. "Party!" she yelled just as loud as possible, hoping it would wake up the hall.

People rushed into Pearl's room. Pearl greeted them all, but when they were all inside something caught her eye. A pair of eyes. A girl far on the other end of the hall was just looking at her, unblinkingly.

Pearl made her way seamlessly across the room giving kisses and hugs, handshakes and warm greetings. "You're...Dream?" she smiled warmly but with a little something sly in her eyes. "isn't that right? I'm Pearl" she extended a hand, eyes locked on hers.

Dream just looked at her, not saying anything. Pearl was beautiful - almost a little too perfect. So beautiful, and pale. She could sense her desires - though it wasn't something she wanted to do...just yet.

"Quiet..." she remarked, one side of her smile curling up just a little farther than the other. "But pretty...natural beauty..."

"You think so?" The girl asked quietly, a knowing look in her eyes.

"You're lucky. Takes me hours to look that good." she laughed a little at herself, keeping her emotional distance.

"Do you know who I am?" She asked matter of factly. The truth was, Pearl was new to the school, but even students who had been there longer that her knew little about Dream. She was the youngest member of the X-Men, a position of honor, but it was not a huge source of popularity for her - her mystery meant that she was ... well...something different that popular."

"I've heard of you." it was short, matter-of-fact.

"And what have you heard?" She said, suddenly giving off the air of a little girl.

"You're more powerful than even you yourself know, the youngest of the declared member of the 'x-men'"

Dream could read Pearl like a book. "You've got that wrong Tiffany" she said. She saw the expression on Pearl's face change. "I know my power. I just don't revel in it. Isn't that your dream? To know your own power?"

"It would be nice..." she broke the facade for a moment, her eyes looking real, innocent, then flickering back to herself. "That's why I'm here. You know yours, and you obviously use it well. Why are you?"

Dream turned away, and walked toward the large fireplace in the living room. She walked into the flames and sat down, her red hair blending with the fiery fernice. "You think you have me all figured out? You think this is even how I really look?"
Dream saw fear in Pearl's eyes. That wasn't what she had meant to do, but hey, keeping people at bay was safer anyway. Was it possible that Pearl hadn't been told of her powers? she figured Pearl would be the first to know the...dirt...on everyone.
Maybe this would jog her memory.
Most people call me The Fantasia. She saw a spark of recognition. Dream had been around a long time, and everyone had heard of THe Fantasia - even humans in story books. Dream was a more personal name given to her by Prof. X. The Fantasia was more...infamous that Dream

Her eyes narrowed on her. "You're bluffing." she knew she wasn't, but it kept that lump at bay in her throat.
