You know what she needed to add to her growing bag of candy? Gumballs from her favourite machine. Lex and the thing went way back, coming here for gum had become something of a summer tradition for her. Even if she didn't feel for gum she still needed to get some. Granted, it wouldn't be much of a tradition without that nice Xavier man who'd always been there to help her out after the machine got rude but she'd have to make due.

That kinda left her wondering...without him....HOW WOULD SHE GET HER GUMBALLS???

Cassia said her uncle owned the place now and she'd like to think that by virtue of being his niece's best friend she wouldn't get kicked out after she gave the thing a good kick...but she couldn't be sure..and didn't want to try just yet either because she hadn't done her school candy shopping yet.

Lex rounded the corner and headed for the--Mr. Xavier!!! HJFJDDUJEUFEIUGE!!

She slid over until she was standing at his side and fixed him with a wide grin. "Hello! Fancy seeing you here again. I figured you'd be long gone." Her gum was SAVED...if only for the last time....
