X-Babies: Growing up

It was a nice day at Xavier's Day Care, all the children ran out to play in the playground and the fields. Scott and Jean were playing with dolls and action figures while watching over the children.

"Take that!" Jean said, using her telekinesis to make her Barbie Doll punch Scott's Optimus Prime action figure.

"No fair!" Scott whined. "No telekinnies allowed, Jeanie!"

"It's telekinesis, Scottie," Jean replied, "and too bad!" She stuck her tongue out.

Scott took off his shades for a second and blasted the Barbie doll's head off its neck. He stuck his tongue out.

"You jerk!" Jean cried at him. She made her dolls repeatedly hit Scott. Scott got up and ran while Jean chased him.

At the swing set, Kitty sat on one of the swings with a large book that was titled, 'Computers for Kiddies'. Suddenly, there was a loud BAMF! and a puff of smoke. Kurt appeared on the swing beside her.

"Hullo!" he greeted.

Kitty screamed and started threw her book at him.

"Don't be afraid!" Kurt said. He teleported above her, hanging from the swings bars with his tail. "I just want to play."

Kitty screamed again and phased down from the swing's seat. She got up and said, "What are you?!"

"I am like you," Kurt replied sadly. "I'm not going hurt you! Really!"

Kitty wanted to get away quickly but ended up stumbling backwards and falling over. Kurt jumped over to help her up. She flinched when he held out a three-fingered hand, but slowly took it.

She blushed ashamedly. "I'm sorry," she murmured. "I never meant to scream at you."

Kurt smiled. "It's okay!" he said. "Let's be friends!"

Kitty smiled too. "Okay!"

Further away, Rogue sat alone in the sandbox playing by herself. She watched as the children played amongst each other. She watched jealously at Scott and Jean who were laughing together, both playing with a grasshopper.

She was making mountain with bits of twigs and leaves poking out of them. She grabbed another stick and signed her name on the mountain. Rogue sat and admired her masterpiece.

BAMF!

Two children appeared on her mountain, crushing it; a blue boy and a little brunette. Instead of screaming in fear, she screamed with anger.

"Hey!" she yelled. "Look at what ya just did!" She gestured at her wrecked mountain beneath them.

"Sorry," Kurt and Kitty apologized simultaneously.

"Shoo!" Rogue shouted, waving her hands at them. "Outta my box! Scram!"

Kurt took Kitty's hand and teleported them away from the furious Rogue and her sandbox.

In the basketball court, Evan was playing with himself. He was struggling to throw the large and heavy basketball into the hoop but only succeeded in falling over. He cried angrily and shot spikes out of his body into the air, hitting trees and narrowly hitting animals.

Evan stomped his way back into the day care to his aunt, Aunt Ororo.

When Aunt Ororo saw that Evan had holes in his clothes again, she sighed. "Not again, Evan. Time to change. Again."

Aunt Ororo passed by Mr. Xavier's office. He was talking to his friend, Ms. Darkholme.

"I assume that you are have already made places for the children in your school," Mr. Xavier said.

"All done," Ms. Darkholme replied. "They will start tomorrow."

"Excellent!" Mr. Xavier said.

"But you better teach them to control their powers, because if my school is wrecked I'll sue you," Ms. Darkholme said.

"Very well, very well," Mr. Xavier said.

They both looked out of the window and watched the children play; Scott and Jean playing with the spike they found stuck on a tree, Rogue throwing shovels of sand at Kurt and Kitty, and Evan who was hobbling around with a basketball in his arms.

This won't be easy.
