The very latest thing from Paris, darling.

[xp_whitequeen]

Your attention please, students. This is Emma Frost. This is not a pre-recorded message, and this is not some burly Englishman muscling in on my account. This is my own sweet, fabulous self, typing with a cracked fingernail and a headache that sadly owes nothing to champagne. I am pleased to report that I am alive and most definitely kicking, and I will not be done kicking for quite some time.

Those surly, beer-swilling hooligans Brian and Peter are with me, and I shall be back at the school some time tomorrow. I would be very grateful if you could update me on the more important details I've missed, and by important, I don't mean which of the boys are the latest to have a lovers' tiff and who broke a vase in the library. Let's start with arrivals and departures and move down the list from there.

There will be much to talk about on my return, including some discussion of giant killer robots. I understand I have some of you students to thank for the fact that I am returning at all. You will be in no doubt as to the depth of my gratitude.

Elizabeth, I'm delighted to have you back among us. Be sure to wear sunglasses when you see me, darling. My brilliance will only blind you again.

Jake, where is that Louis Vuitton attaché case you stole from the back of my limousine in Monaco in 1999, you thieving little dog?

I do so look forward to us all catching up.

I shall never think well of Paris again.

Much love,

Emma.

If for one thing, I'm thankful for having a stubborn brother who was able to do what I could not. It will be one regret, I'll carry for some time.

My brilliance will only blind you again.

Of that, I have no doubt.

I promise you, Emma. I'll be the first face you see when you come through those doors tomorrow.

It'll be good to have you back, Ms. Frost. I'm sure an emergency team can be put together to fix that nail for you ASAP.

Ms. Frost?

When you are back and settled, could I talk to you for a few minutes about something odd?

It involves you a little, and I would rather ask you instead of going through Doctor MacTaggart and Professor Xavier.

Certainly, Marie-Ange. I may need a little time to rest and recuperate, but I intend to make myself as fully available to my students as possible.

Auntie Em, Auntie Em, there's no place like home. There's no place like home.

I'm so glad you're coming back Ms. Frost.
