MINE!!! ^_^ But ya can use her if ya wanna, just ask! ^_~
"GOOOOO TEAM!" The Bayville cheerleaders roared, bouncing up and down continuously while doing jumps and cartwheels on the side. Mason High School, the home team, booed trying to drown out Bayville High's shouts of excitement. Cow-bells sounded and fog horns screamed, announcing the third touchdown for the Bayville Bulldogs. Students from Mason groaned and threw popcorn as the Bayville stands screeched out victory chants. Their marching/pep band struck up another chorus of the Bayville touch-down song. In the away-team stands, Kurt was trying to yell encouragements while stuffing a steaming, ketchup-covered hotdog into his mouth.
"MEA!! BO NEAM!!!" Tiny bits of hotdog sprayed Scott and Jean who were sitting in front of him. They turned around, glares on their teenage faces.
"I don't remember asking for a shower." Jean muttered as she brushed red, mushy flecks off her shoulder. Kurt quickly swallowed the rest of the offending hotdog and grinned disarmingly. "Vhat?" He asked, giving them his prized I'm-soooo-innocent-how could-you-blame-me-for-anything look. They sighed and turned back around. Still grinning, Kurt turned towards Evan who was sitting beside him.
"Wanna go get more food?"
"Dude, are you a food vacuum or what?" Evan asked, but rose from his seat anyway. Kurt led the way down the metal stairs and they walked quickly to the concessions stand. While standing in line, a low, rumbling sound rolled across the football field. The air around them felt strange, as if it had suddenly lost pressure. Evan gave Kurt a weird look. "Dude, was that your stomach?" he asked, eyebrows raised in surprise and admiration. The boy shook his head, black hair flying.
"Actually, no." Kurt stated and moved up in the line.
"Must be a thunderstorm." Evan decided, even if it was out of season. In a few minutes, the two mutants returned to the bleachers, laden down with candy, hotdogs, and poorly grilled hamburgers. Evan and Kurt chowed down, destroying about three-fourths of their supply by the beginning of third quarter. Evan was finishing the last pack of Skittles when the storm they had heard earlier finally barreled down upon the stadium. It began to rain like there was no tomorrow, or at least no next week. Teenage girls squealed and raised their hands, trying to shield their hair-sprayed heads from the downpour. On the field, the two combating football teams slid around, trying to find their footing on the muddy ground. Scott wiped his glasses as rain began to trickle down the crimson lenses. Jean created a telepathic shield around herself and Scott's glasses, protecting them from the rain.
[[Any better?]] Jean asked telepathically.
[[Yeah, thanks.]] Scott thought back, reaching up to wipe the last few droplets off. Behind them, Kurt and Evan were racing to stuff the remaining junkfood into their pockets. A couple rows to the right, in the Mason School stands, there was a scuffling noise. A slim figure quickly made her way down the stairs two at a time. She darted past the seats and ducked underneath the bleacher. Evan watched her descent with slight interest. Kurt, however, was too busy trying to fit the last burger into his too- small pocket to notice anything. Shrugging, Evan figured she was just worried about her hair or clothes or maybe both. Beside him, Kurt suddenly yelped. Evan turned his head to be met with a blue, yellow-eyed face that disappeared immediately. The furry blue mutant was gone, leaving only the faint smell of sulfur and brimstone. Evan sighed. Kurt's stupid watch was acting up again.
Right below the bleachers, Kurt was banging the image inducer against a metal beam. "Vork! Vork, vork, vork!" He ordered, fiddling with all the switches and buttons he could find.
"Whoa." Someone whispered behind. Kurt whirled around to see a girl staring at him, her navy eyes wide. He started to explain, then stopped, mouth hanging wide open. The bright blue hair that framed her youthful face was rather different, but that wasn't what startled him. It was her pale blue skin that made him stare. She was smaller than him, but almost the same age by the looks of it. With a gasp of realization, the blueish girl jumped behind a metal support beam. Kurt shook his head and regained composure.
"Hi!" He said cheerfully, walking towards the beam. He heard her sigh as she came out, arms crossed across her chest. She glared at him with dark eyes.
"What do you want?" she asked, frustration twined around her words. Kurt shook his head.
"Nothing, but if you didn't notice, ve're the same colour!" Kurt said, trying to pick a common topic to talk about. He hadn't expected to find another mutant, let alone a blue one, under the stands. She raised an eyebrow.
"Is that so? I didn't notice," She replied sarcastically, uncrossing her arms and placing her hands on her hips. "Besides, I'm not blue all the time." It was Kurt's turn to raise an eyebrow.
"How? I mean, I'm blue all the time. Vell, actually, I 'ave this vatch 'ere," Kurt held up the vortex inducer. "It makes a 'ologram so I can look human. At least, it does vhen it's vorking." He explained, a grin on his furry face. The girl smiled a little bit, still unsure of how to act.
"I'm only blue when it rains. I'm Megan." She extended a hand which Kurt promptly shook.
"And a mutant, right?" He added with a smirk.
"That obvious?" Meagan gave him a sideways grin as she spread her arms outwards. He shrugged.
"Not as obvious as me." He said as he waved his blue forked tail back and forth. Megan laughed and nodded her head.
"Guess not, uh." she gave him an expectant look. Kurt looked confused for a few seconds and then remembered.
"Oh, ja! My name's Kurt, but some people call me Nightcrawler." He supplied playfully.
"Nightcrawler? Why?" Megan asked in an interested tone. In demonstration, Kurt stuck his hands to a metal beam and climbed upwards at an alarming rate. Megan stared as he hung upside down from a bleacher seat, smiling down at her.
"That's vhy." He said, waving. With a smug look, the girl raised her bluish hands and pushed them towards each other. The rain water that was streaming down from the cracks on either side of Kurt suddenly turned sideways and sprayed the boy. Spluttering, he teleported back beside Megan.
"Nickname's Wave." She stated, a mischievous smile on her face. He shook the water out of his hair and blinked.
"You're a vater mutant? Vhat all can you do?" Kurt asked with interest. Megan counted off the numbers with her fingers while fixing a spaced-out look on her face.
"Let's see, I can create and manipulate water, talk telepathically through water, and make very pretty water colored pictures!" She winked at Kurt who laughed. "I turn blue whenever there's too much moisture in the air; it's how I found out about my powers. The problem's that I have to drink water constantly throughout the day. I dehydrate really quickly." She concluded her speech by giving him a small show. The rain water that was still coming down from the stands melted together, making a waterfall that cascaded down to the ground in huge ripples. After a few seconds Megan released the streams back to their original pattern of falling. She smiled at Kurt.
"Cool trick. Vatch this." Kurt teleported himself about five feet away, hanging from the stands; next, he was right behind Megan giving her a tap on the shoulder; then he was four inches from the girl's face. She yelped and squirted him with a pointer finger. He clutched at where the water had hit him, acting as if he had been shot. Megan giggled as Kurt fell to the ground, mock-dying. Suddenly, Kurt's holo-watch decided that it was time to work.
"Yes! It's a very useval, evil thing." He explained to Megan as she looked him up and down.
"Nice bell bottoms. So, you can teleport and stick to things? That's pretty cool." Megan said. Kurt rubbed the back of his neck with a hand.
"Well, ja.I like it! But there's alvays a chance I might port myself into something. That'd be fun, half-sticking out of a vall. I'd look like a mounted animal head!"
"More like furry, blue elf head." Megan said, grinning at him. A buzzer sounded and a cry of jubilation went up from the Bayville stands. Mason students tried to boo them down again, but a roar of thunder drowned them out. Above Kurt and Megan, Evan wondered if his aunt had anything to with it.
"I guess your team won." Megan yelled over the din the Bayville kids were putting up.
"Duh! Your team's terrible!" Kurt teased her. The girl narrowed her eyes even though Kurt could still see a glint of amusement in them.
"Watch it, elf-boy, or I'll be forced to drown you!" she threatened, shaking a light blue finger at him. He laughed and teleported away.
"Just try!" Rolling her eyes, Megan quickly walked over to where he was. Once reaching him, she pulled the hood of her jacket up over her face and blue hair. Megan dragged on a pair of gloves that she plucked from a pocket. Over their heads they could hear the sound of a few hundred teenagers and random adults leaving the stands.
"Time to go." Kurt stated, seeing that the rain had stopped. He and Megan simultaneously made their way out from under the stands.
"See you later, Kurt!" Megan exclaimed, waving to him as she blended into the crowd of people. Kurt waved back vigorously and went off to find Scott, Jean, and Evan. He had to tell them about Megan.
[[Over here, Kurt.]] Jean's telepathic voice said quietly. He turned towards the right. There they were, standing by the gate, waiting for him to catch up. Kurt raced over and almost knocked them over with his excitement.
"There vas this girl, her name's Megan, she's blue, she's got blue hair, and she can control vater!!!" Kurt said in a sugar-induced rush. Scott clamped a hand over the younger mutant's mouth and shook his head.
"Kurt!" He hissed angrily. Kurt made a face, realizing that then anybody near them could have overheard him talking.
"Sorry." He muttered under Scott's hand which was immediately removed. The group of four started out towards the parking lot where the X-van was. Behind Scott and Jean's backs, Evan was making kissing noises, teasing Kurt about Megan. Kurt scowled and flung a Snickers bar at him.
"It's not like that!" Kurt complained, glaring at the black boy. Evan rolled his eyes.
"Sure, whatever you say, Kurt." He continued to make kissing noises until a barrage of uneaten candy attacked him.
PLEASE REVIEW! ^_^ Thank you! And this is not a romance and there will be more chapters! YAY!!
