Sapphire - Piper Namacub95 - Dark Emily *possibly guest starring Mo as Sheldon*
LET THE INSANITY BEGIN! ---------------------------------------------
Emily was bored. Beyond bored. When Emily was bored then bad things usually followed very swiftly...well, bad things for anyone who happened to be in her way.
How she managed to end up in California was beyond even her comprehension, she'd been aiming for California the planet not California the state! Sometimes her luck never quite went her way.
So now she was bored, lost and starting to get hungry as well. She didn't want to ask for directions because her pride wouldn't let her and the only money she had was in pounds Stirling rather than US dollars.
Suffice to say, luck was not on Emily's side.

School was out and Piper was on her way home from another day. It was the same really. Get up go to school, do after-school activity, go home, do homework, destroy Sheldon's sanity. It was all rather dull. The auburn girl's backpack was heavy with textbooks and she wasn't really paying attention to her course of direction. That was until she ran right into another girl standing there. "Sorry." she muttered. "Didn't see you there."

Emily felt something collide with her and she wiped around to see and auburn haired teenager roughly the same age as herself. She glared at her, even though it sort of was her fault for standing right in the middle of the doorway to an apartment block.
"Yeah...whatever." She didn't care to try and disguise her natural accent like she usually did when visiting the US.

"Well maybe next time you should watch where you're going." Piper replied, stepping past the girl into the apartment building. It wasn't as if she was truly mad, just a little irritated.

Emily scowled after Piper, several cutting remarks jumping to mind and she contemplated saying them to the other teenager. Serves her right. She bumped into her not the other way around.
Still, the logical part of her brain told her to stand down. She was lost in a city she'd never once stepped foot into and this girl had probably lived here all her life...she could help her.
Emily blew out a breath and stepped into the building after the other girl.
"Sorry." she said, she grimaced slightly but continued on "I'm just a bit annoyed. I'm kinda lost."

"It's alright." Piper replied. She looked at the girl standing before her. "Would you like to come up into my apartment? Maybe then you can get your beirings. I'm Piper, by the way." the redhead replied, holding out her hand. "And you are?"

Emily allowed herself a small smile. At least she was getting somewhere, she supposed that spending sometime in this girl's apartment whilst she tried to figure out her next move wouldn't be a horrific ordeal. It wasn't like she could go anywhere else anyway.
"Thanks a lot. I'm Emily." She replied, taking Piper's hand and giving it a small shake "Emily Clearwater of London, UK."
She was being awfully nice, Emily thought...she made a mental note to do something horrible to her doppelgänger or Xavier later to counteract that.

"So I'll show you the way to the apartment," Piper replied, showing the other girl up the stairs. "Sorry we couldn't take the elevator." the redhead apologized. "My idiot neighbors blew it up in a science experiment when I was young. For geniuses, they can be so dumb."

Emily couldn't help the laugh that escaped her and she walked by the broken elevator to walk up the stairs behind the auburn-haired teenager. "They blew up the elevator? That's genius! I'll have to remember that one for another time." she grinned "If your neighbours are such 'geniuses' then they'd surely be able to fix the elevator then."
"And as a rule, men are idiots." she added as an afterthought.

Piper snorted. "Isn't that the truth." The auburn haired girl climbed a few more flights and then reached her apartment. "Well, here we are." she announced before unlocking the door. "So Emily, aren't your parents going to be worried that you're not home? California is an awfully long way from London."

Emily snorted "No." she replied "Mostly because my mother isn't in the picture and my dad travels a lot anyways. He wouldn't miss me and I usually run into him on a semi-regular basis."
Well, technically the last part was a lie since her father usually had to come and dig her out of whatever trouble she had managed to land herself in that day. She was surprised that SHIELD didn't have a detainment area especially for her and count her as one of the 'regulars'.

"What does he do?" Piper asked, dumping her bag on the floor and flopping onto her couch. "My parents travel sometimes. They're representatives for their company. Is your dad a representative, too?" How odd would that be if her dad had the exact same job! "I mean, I know it's nothing really fancy or anything. And don't worry about my parents barging in, they usual work until five or six."

"He travels." Emily shrugged "That's just the general idea...and there's usually a hell of a lot of running involved if you're travelling with him. He tends to walk himself into all kinds of situations."
Emily stepped inside the apartment and closed the door behind her, letting her eyes wander slightly. It was a nice place, she admitted, although not as big as the TARDIS. Then again, nothing was quite as big as the TARDIS. Maybe she shouldn't expect ordinary places to be bigger on the inside.

"So do you want something to eat?" Piper asked, getting up and opening the fridge. "I'd like to meet your dad, he seems like his life is exciting. I need some of that." The auburn girl added. "I mean, life around here is interesting, I guess but it seems like everyday is the same."

(If Mo is going to join us, I think this would probably be a good time for her to step in.)
Emily shook her head at the offer of food, despite her stomach giving an audible growl, and shrugged at Piper's statement "Yeah...sometimes it's fun being with him. We can have some good fun together...but sometimes I think he doesn't like me very much compared to my dop--my sister." she said, recovering quickly from her almost slip. She didn't usually open herself up like that...but for some reason she felt like she could trust this girl with that because it wasn't like she was going to ever see her again.
Once she left then it would be very unlikely that their paths would ever cross again.
