Hey this is just a one shot of what thanksgving would be at the Xavier Mansion. Hope you like!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Charles smiled as he looked over the large table Logan and Ororo had set. It was actually many tables pushed close together and a large table cloth thrown over it. It was set outside by the pool. Thanksgiving was that night, the kids were all at the mall, watching a movie before the night that all families were supposed to be together.
Charles had invited many people to enjoy the Thanksgiving feast together with. He had invited the Brotherhood, the Acolytes, and even Magneto himself. Alex had also come to spend Thanksgiving with the only living relative he had. Logan had just been sent to get four turkeys (Charles had decided that they needed that many with how much some of them eat). Ororo was now putting up Thanksgiving decorations.
The x-men came home to find no one in the mansion. They walked out back and found the large table. Logan was roasting the turkeys over an open fire (A/N: Chestnuts roasting on an open fire... Bad Liz! Christmas isn't for another.... *checks school agenda thingy they expect her to use* 39 days away! Hey, what else is a school agenda for other than to count the days until Christmas??). Ororo was just putting the finishing touches on the leaves that were scattered around the plates on the table.
"Its beautiful!" Jean admired.
"Thank you, Jean." Professor X said.
"What's it for?" Rogue asked, crossing her arms.
"Its like Thanksgiving silly! Everyone gets together for dinner and like gives thanks for everything we have!" Kitty explained.
"So its just us, right?" Rouge confirmed, knowing that if it were just the X-men that she could leave fast enough.
"Um... Well us and a few... friends." Professor said as a car pulled up. It was an old jeep.
"The brotherhood?!" Scott yelled.
"Hey Scottieboy!" Lance called.
"Scott, be nice, I invited them to join us for dinner." Charles explained.
Wanda walked up to Rogue, "Thanksgiving? Joy." she said dryly.
"Ah know." Rouge responded.
"Ok, everyone, dinner will be ready soon." Ororo announced, going over to check on Logan who looked as if he was about to massacre the turkeys.
"Whats wrong Logan?" She asked.
"If I keep one side by the fire, it burns, then I turn it, and the other side burns! I just can't win!!" he yelled. Ororo blinked and took the turkeys off the grill and put them on a large plate.
"There done, dear." she said, putting them on the table.
"Oh." Logan said sheepishly.
Logan and Ororo continued bringing food out, Sweet Potato Casserole, Spinach casserole ("Ewww!" Bobby and Jamie), Cranberry sauce, gravy, normal mashed potatoes, and anything else they could have wished for.
"Zat looks vonderfull" Kurt said. "Can ve dig in?" He pleaded.
"No, We're still waiting for a few guests." Professor said. The rest of the students groaned.
Suddenly they saw five silver orbs coming towards them. "Tha' better not be who Ah think it is." Rogue said.
"Well, Rouge, If I invited Eric then I had to invite Remy." Professor explained.
"And John to!?" Amara said happily.
"Yes. Him to."
"And Sabertooth?" Logan growled, claws coming out with a loud SHINK.
"Um, Eric said that he was out." The claws went back in.
The Acolytes came down and their orbs opened up. They each stepped out in their own way. Remy in his dramatically savvy way. John in his cool, all-I-want-to-do-is-see-Amara-and-burn-stuff attitude. And of course Poitr, who was quiet and seemed to be sulking if you didn't know him very well.
"Well Charles, we're here." Eric stated.
"Yes, I can see that." Charles said.
Remy sauntered up Rogue with a smirk on. "Get that stupid smirk of yah're face Swamp Rat." Rogue ordered.
"Chére Remy knew he'd be seein' y'soon, and here we are, seein' each other!" He said playfully.
"Hn." Rogue replied simply.
"Ah, Chére, Remy knows you're glad to see him." He said, sweeping her up into a hug.
"Yea, Ah guess Ah am a bit happy t'see mah favorite Swamp Rat." She admitted, leaning into Remy a bit.
Remy smiled softly looking down at Rouge, then noticed Logan glaring at him. He smiled innocently at Logan, who in turn gave him the look. The look that said 'You do anything to hurt her and I will inflict a world of pain all over your ass.' Remy gulped, Logan was not a nice enemy to have.
Pietro already had his arm around Kitty, "Hey Kitty-kat. How are ya? I missed you." he said. Kitty giggled.
"Like you just saw me at the mall, silly!"
"So? Every second we are apart my heart yearns for you!" He said, dramatically putting his hand to his heart.
Amara and Pyro were by the grill, which was still going. Pyro was using the fire to create animals and stuff from it. He made a kitten. "Aww that's so cute John!" Amara said, hugging him.
Logan glared at Pietro also. It was hard acting as the older brother, glaring at all the guys who were flirting with the girls, but he enjoyed when he saw them sweat. Logan smirked "Dinner time."
Everyone gathered around the dinner table. Here I will list you the long seating order. From the end of the table sat Charles, Ororo, Bobby, Jubilee, Ray, Jamie, Todd, Remy, Rogue, Scott, Jean, Wanda, Magneto (On the other edge), Kitty, Pietro, Piotr, Lance, John, Amara, Fred, Sam, Kurt, Tabitha, and Logan.
Magneto reached to take one of the turkeys to start eating. Kitty slapped his hand away. "We have to say a prayer first, it -is- thanksgiving!" she scolded.
Magneto glared at her, and cradled his injured hand.
"Ok. Kitty, what would you like to do?" Charles asked.
"How about, like, we go around and everyone say something that they're thankful for." She suggested. Rogue and Wanda groaned.
"I think that's a wonderful idea." Charles said. "Well I'm thankful that everyone could come to share this wonderful thanksgiving with us, so that today we are not only mutants on different sides and fighting against each other, but together as one group so that we can -"
"COUGH COUGH!" Magneto interrupted.
"Oh, yes well... Ororo, your turn."
"Well I'm very thankful that we are all safe and have been all year, despite the many things we've gone through." she said.
"I'm thankful for the ice, and the new Mutant Mafia, its turning out quite well actually..." (See All for the money if you want to get that last part) Bobby said.
"...Right. Anyway I"m thankful for... um, my friends." Jubilee said.
"I'm thankful that Christmas is coming up!" Ray said happily.
"I'm thankful for Santa Clause!" Jamie said happily, he then proceeded to hum 'Santa Clause is coming to town'.
"Jamie, Santa isn't - Umph!" Pietro got elbowed in the ribs by Kitty.
"Yea Santa Clause!" Tabby yelled.
"Yea. which reminds me, he's gonna be at the mall this Saturday! I wanna sit on Santa's lap!" Fred cheered.
"Santa rules, yo!" Todd yelled. "Anyway, yo. I'm thankful for my flies yo! Let their be fruitful abundance of them this year!" he cheered, flicking his tongue out and catching one as it flew by.
"Ew. Well Remy's thankful for his Chére." He said.
Rogue rolled her eyes, "How did Ah know? Ah guess Ah'm thankfull for mah Swamp Rat, but mostly for mah makeup and CD collection." Rouge said. Remy smiled and put his arm around Rouge.
"Remy knew y'cared fo' him!" he bragged.
"I'm thankful that the Danger Room is up and running again after the last little accident..." Scott glared at Tabitha and Kurt who whistled and looked away innocently. "And that we can have a surprise, or not-so-surprise Danger room session tomorrow at 7 AM!" All the X-men groaned.
"I"m just glad that everyone is safe and happy for the most part." Jean said. Rogue coughed, and her cough sounded suspiciously like 'little Miss. Perfect'...
Wanda shrugged, "That Todd's not sitting next to me and breathing down my neck with his fly infested breath." she said.
"You know you love me Cuddle bumpkins!" Todd called to her. Wanda rolled her eyes.
Magneto looked around. "You expect me to be thankful, The human race is still roaming freely, Mutants Don't have a continent/ place of their own, and we're -still- being persecuted!" he said. Every one blinked and waited. "Fine, *mummers* i'mthankfulformystuffedteddybear Mr. Tiddywinkles." he said with the speed of his son.
Everyone at the table cracked up, even Charles was laughing. Magneto blushed madly "That's not nice!" he said.
When the laughter had died down Kitty said "I am thankful for all my friends who are like family!"
"I'm thankful for my kitty-kat and for my friends, if you can even call them that." Pietro said.
"I'm thankful that I still have a family..." Glares at Magneto. "And that they're still safe, even thought a maniac master of magnetism is holding them against their will." Poitr glares at him again.
"Aww, Pete Don't get so hard on him, he's done things to all of us... although I cant quite remember what exactly he did to me..." Wanda said.
"Um I guess I'm thankful for.... this food, its better than what we got at home." Lance glared at Freddy.
"I'm glad for Fire, All hail the almighty Fire, and I'm very grateful for Amara, the queen of Fire." he said.
Amara smiled. "I'm grateful for John, probably every one agrees when I say he's the king of fire, and I am grateful for fire, the best natural element alive!"
Everyone sweat dropped at the pyromaniac couple. "Well... I'm thankful for the food! I like food!" Freddy said.
"Well i'm thankful for my family and my friends." Sam said.
"I'm also thankful for ze food! And ze God of tricksters.... cant remember hiz name dough..." Kurt trailed off.
"I"m thankful to cherry bombs!" Tabby chirped happily.
Logan was the last one, he grunted, "I'm glad that Sabertooth isn't here, his stench would spoil the food, now lets eat before it gets any colder!" He said.
"I could always heat it up if you wanted it warmer!" John said happily as everyone else sweat dropped.
They all started digging into the delicious dinner. They all ate their fill while conversing with the people around them. Then Bobby picked up some spinach on his spoon. He looked at it, and suddenly an evil grin spread across his face. He looked around to make sure that no one was watching and then, WHACK. A glob of spinach hit the side of Amara's head.
She gasped. "Why you little!" She picked up some of her spinach and threw it at him. Her aim was far from perfect and it hit Jubilee. "Oops..."
"Children please!" Ororo said.
"Oh no you didn't!" Jubilee shrieked as she picked up some of her sweet potatoe casserole and threw it back at Amara, but of course Jubilee's aim was hardly better than Amara's and the casserole hit John.
"That ain't cool, Sheila! Take that!" He yelled. Soon their was a full out food fight. Professor, Ororo, Logan and Magneto had managed to get out fairly in time, Magneto had a big glob of casserole on his shirt and Logan who had some spinach in his hair.
Jean and Scott managed to rush inside quickly to, but not as clean. Jean had several spots in her hair and a large glob on the seat of her pants. Scott's face had apparently been hit, and so had his shirt many times with many different things.
Rogue growled and threw another glob of food in the general direction that she had just been hit from a second ago. Remy was having fun throwing food around with excellent aim. Even Poitr was smiling as he threw some food at an unsuspecting Pietro.
Pietro was hit in the face, "... Alright,whoeverthrewthat, yourgoingdown!" He said, and with that he started throwing food in every direction extremely fast, only missing Kitty.
"PIETRO!!" They all shrieked as they were covered with casserole and stuffing.
"...Why don't we go inside and have our own nice dinner by ourselves." Professor Xavier said, leading the adults and Jean and Scott inside.
Later after dinner they were all laying down in the grass next to the table. The dishes were still piled up there and they were all still covered with food. Rogue was nestled in Remy's arms, head leaning on his chest. Amara and John had started a small fire and were now snuggled near it. Pietro and Kitty were snuggled under a blanket. They were all looking up at the stars.
"Look! I see a bunny rabbit!" Jamie cried, next to Rogue. She smiled.
"I see!"
"Look! I see the Mutant Mafia!" Bobby said, pointing up to a cluster of stars that really didn't look like anything at all.
"... Right, Bobby I think you had a little to much sweet potato casserole..." Jubilee said, concerned.
"That one look like Russia." Poitr said, pointing out a formation of stars that did in fact look like Russia.
The teenage mutants all fell asleep in the grass for once not caring about the outside world or what troubles they would face tomorrow.
