Chapter One- Birthday Surprises
"Oh, thank you Professor, Ororo, Logan! I've always wanted one of these!" Professor Xavier smiled smugly as he shot a glance at a disgruntle Logan. I knew he would like it Logan. Good game choice, Ororo. I'm sure he'll be pleased when he opens it, it is a perfect game for him Ororo tried not to look as smug as she watched the paper fly as Kurt unwrapped his 'birthday' presents. They were really celebrating the day he came to the Institute, so it was more of a one-year anniversary. Kurt was gazing fondly at the N'64 system they had bought for him, lying the box down with utmost caring. Kitty stepped forward, a small box clasped in her hand. "Um, like, yeah Kurt, here's your present. I hope you like it." Kurt took the gift from her, giving her a warm smile. "Thank you Kitty." Kitty shifted nervously and motioned for him to open it. Kurt had no problem in shredding the paper off of the poor defensless box and did so in amazing speed. He looked wide eyed as he held a little box in his hand, grazing the top of the box with the other. "Zelda. This looks fun, Katzchen! Thank you!" Kurt smiled sweetly and walked to Kitty and gave her a little hug, blushing furiously. All of the gifts had been opened except for one. The Professor looked on in dismay, templing his fingers.
Ororo quickly grabbed the last gift and hid it behind her back before the present crazed Kurt could get his furry hands on it. Damn Kitty. Ororo had spent hours shopping at game stores for the perfect video game, something a swashbuckler like Kurt would love and spend countless *quiet* hours on. *Quiet* being the main word. Ororo, what are we to do now? The professor mumbled in her mind, aware that Kurt had given up looking for additional gifts. Ororo shrugged and walked out of the room, undoubtedly to go return the game. The professor also gave a sigh. It was no big deal, really...unless he made it one...
When the party was over Kurt was up in his room and playing his new game console before you could blink, immersed deeply in the best game in the world, Zelda. If you passed his room you would be able to hear curses and yells, sure signs of someone becoming 'one' with the game. Many did walk past Kurt's room and many were scared, all but Kitty. Kitty happened to be intrigued by the curious sounds coming from the elf. She bought Zelda for Kurt because she knew he would love it, knowing the adults bought him the console. She phased her head through his door, blinking rapidly to get used to the darkness, the only light coming from the TV.... and Kurt's eyes. Kurt was indeed immersed in the game, wrapped in a complicated knot around his bedpost. His three fingered hands were perfectly adapted for the N'64 controller, fitting its plastic curves so naturally it was scary. Kitty smiled as Kurt growled as a small Link on the screen seemed to die once again, only to make Kurt try harder. His tail curled and uncurled, waving in the air. Kitty almost fell through the wall watching it, but quickly caught herself, shaking her head. He was really cute when he did that. ^-^
Xavier beamed and wiped the sweat off his brow, admiring his masterpiece. A small slot had been built into the danger room's controls...just big enough for a N'64 cartridge to slide through. He pulled a blank gray wire from his pocket and inserted it into the slot, connecting it carefully with another. He pressed a few buttons and sat back, waiting for it to start up. In a moment scenery flashed across the Danger room, looking like the training room had been infested by a small village. Little people with green hats and tunics were scuttling about, and the only unoccupied location was a lone tree house, standing tall among the small huts. The professor's eyes crinkled as he smiled. Kurt would get a kick out of this...
AN: Yes, I am obsessed with Zelda, the bestest-game-in-the-whole-wide-world- of-many-many-wannabee-games.
