A/N Okay people's, this is my first fanfic, so don't flame me to bad, I
wouldn't mind a few reviews, though. And just to clear a few things up,
Tabitha moved back into the mansion, and Kitty is dating Lance. And they're
going to Disneyland because I actually know it, and wouldn't be able to
have them at a park designed for older kids, but what can I say, I like it.
The Happiest Place on Earth 'It's going to be a pretty boring summer', Jamie decided, looking out his bedroom window, which gave a perfect view of the pool, and Bobby freezing up the water. Most people would find that enough for a pretty interesting summer, but Jamie had seen it happen so many times, it lost the appeal it had at first. What he needed was a change of scenery, something that would break up the boredom.
As he was contemplating this, he got a message from the professor. 'Students, meet in the library immediately.' Jamie slightly jumped at the voice in his head, but he was rather used to it, and so he climbed off his window sill, and headed down for the library.
Once he got there, he realized that he was the first kid there, and would be in charge of the seating arrangements. The other new recruits wouldn't sit anywhere near him, Rogue and Kitty would sit next to him, if, for no other reason than to be as far away from Bobby as possible, and Scott would stand right behind him, making sure he didn't get bumped.
Sure enough, as all the students piled in, they sat (or stood) exactly where he thought they would. He wished for the umpteenth time that he was a year or two older, and the new recruits treated him like a friend, and not an annoying tagalong. But before he could get around to too much self-pity, the professor came in.
"Is everyone here?" he asked, looking around the room. "Well, since we're all present, I have some pretty big news for you all. Since our cruise didn't really relax us any, and the fact that the Apocalypse situation is, at the moment, under control, I thought we would try another vacation."
"Like, no way!" Kitty exclaimed, "Where are we going?"
"To California," Logan said, and the students couldn't help but notice the rather disgusted look he had on his face. "To Anaheim, California, aren't we lucky, we're all going to Disneyland."
"Hey what's wrong with Disneyland, none of us have every been there," Scott said, looking around the room. It was true, none of them had ever been to an amusement park, they didn't live near any, and living at the school had made it difficult to take many vacations. So while it was technically considered to be for kids, the teenaged mutants were excited about it. Maybe a little to excited, Jubilee was making fireworks, Rahne had transformed into her wolf form, and was running around the room, barking happily, and Tabitha was throwing explosions everywhere.
Suddenly, Kurt stopped swinging from the chandelier and looked at the professor.
"What about Amanda?" he asked. "I don't want to be gone without her."
"Relax elf, we'll only be gone about 4 days," Logan said, not even attempting to keep from rolling his eyes.
"Actually, Kurt, I've already contacted Miss Sefton's parents, and they have agreed to let her come with us," the Professor said.
"I thought her parents hated you," Bobby said, "and yet their letting her go with us?"
"Come on, her parent's aren't that prejudice against us, once I explained what happened with Toad (The Toad, the Witch, and the wardrobe) they let us start dating again," Kurt said. He looked at the professor, "so she's really coming with us?" He asked.
"Yes, Kurt, and don't worry, Kitty, the brotherhood is coming as well," the professor said, noticing the look of worry that was etched on her face. Scott stopped mid-cheer and looked at his teacher.
"Professor," he said, "you can't be serious. The brotherhood? Coming with us?"
"Scott, don't worry," Jean, said, "I'm sure they won't cause that much trouble."
"Yeah right," Scott mumbled, before sulking off to his room to pack. Jamie looked around the room excitedly. He couldn't believe, he was going to Disneyland, and he'd be with all of his friends. Well, he'd be with all the kids from the institute, and maybe, the magic of Disneyland and all that junk would make them like him, if only for the time they were there. He ducked quickly, dodging one of Ray's electrical shocks.
Maybe the summer wouldn't be that bad after all.
