(A Stuffed Cat) ... 12/25/2002 It was christmas morning at the institute. All the students, as well as their parents and/or siblings were there, in the livingroom by the christmas tree. The professor had decided that he wanted all of them at the institute for Christmas. So, due to the fact that ALL of their presents were 'under' the tree, the room was quite crowded. The presents that were actually UNDER the tree hadn't even been reached yet, and they had been working on it for about half an hour. (AN: I almost said an hour, but... They wouldn't get THAT many presents!)
Kurt was wandering around, looking to see if there were any more presents for him. He glanced around to see what everyone was doing.
Rogue was at this point opening a package that seemed to be from Jean, although Kurt couldn't be sure... But it was pink, and it looked a lot like a shirt, so it was likely.
Evan was opening a package that also held clothing... Some sort of worn-out jeans... that were new... But worn... Weird...
Scott had decided to take a break and collect his presents as they were unburied. He was laughing at something Jean had said that Kurt hadn't heard.
Kurt glanced over at Kitty, who just at that moment squealed and tore that last of the wrapping paper off of something that looked like a well-loved stuffed cat.(Well-loved=Well-WORN, or OLD)
She was hugging it like life depended on it. "Tee-too!!" She said happily, before she turned towards her parents, her back towards Kurt, and walked towards them (her parents) to hug them. Or at least that's what it looked and sounded like...
She stopped a few feet from her parents and asked, "So... You found Tee- too?" Her voice and words were extremely sweet... TOO sweet, the dripping sweetness of the sugar coating on them barely hiding the venom behind her words.
Kurt wondered why the anger was there. He almost asked, but realized that this was a family argument (even if he didn't know what it was about) and that he should stay out of it and let someone ELSE die. He liked being alive. Very much.
Kitty's mother, Mrs. Pryde, was the one to answer Kitty's query. "He was actually... well... He was never lost." She stumbled over her words for a minute before finally saying it bluntly.
"Ah, so you finally admit it. So now we can talk about this properly, Mother?" Kitty glared at her mother. She would have glared at her father as well, but Mr. Pryde had dissapeared somewhere... Probably had the same kind feelings toward life that Kurt did.
"Kitty, you know that that... THING wasn't good for your health! Now, if you go through a relapse then-" Mrs. Pryde was interupted by her daughter.
"Then WHAT?? Mother, I wasn't 'sick' in the first place!!" Kitty said angrily... and loudly. Now they had everyone's attention.
"Now, now, Kitty. I thought we had agreed that you were having-"
"That I was having 'hallucinations?' You mean YOU decided!! I told you and told you that-"
Now it was Kitty's turn to be interrupted. "Kitty! When you stopped talking about... HIM, I took it for granted that you had stopped hallucinating! If you have been then I need you to tell me so I can-"
"So you can WHAT? Send me to a lunatic asylum again?? No way would I tell you even if I HAD seen him again!! I wasted five years of my life in that rat-infested place and you aren't catching ME back in there again!!" Kitty screamed.
Scott decided to take a risk and interrupt. "Ummm... Excuse me, but can you take this somewhere else? It IS Christmas day you know, we'd all like to enjoy it, if you don't mind..."
"Kitty was in a nut-house?? COOL!! WE HAVE A LUNATIC IN THE INSTITUTE!! What was it like in the nut-house, Kitty?" One of the new students asked excitedly. There were three new students, triplets, aged thirteen. Their names were Kim, Sarah, and Mina.
Scott glared at Mina, the one who had spoken. She cowered back from his death glare, and said, "I'll go wash... make my bed!" before running out of the room.
"I'll tell you later!" Kitty called out after her. She didn't sound angry any more.
"Why don't we go discuss this upstairs, where we won't be disturbing your classmates, Kitty?" The professor suggested.
Kitty nodded, and she, her mother, and the professor headed upstairs, leaving behind a very confused Kurt. Not to mention a very confused everyone else...
