Grounded
It was summer. School was out and most of the mutants living at the Xavier Institute were gone—on vacation to Hawaii. Scott went to meet up with Alex, Jean went to be near Scott, all the new mutants were gone, Rogue went to get a tan on her pale, ghostly-white body, Ororo and the Professor were also gone to chaperone…However, a few of the Institute's residents did not go…Kitty was one of them.
She was now in her bedroom on her bed, lying on her stomach and playing solitaire on her laptop…she lost, for the third time in a row. "Ugh! I hate this stupid game!"
She had desperately wanted to go to Hawaii with the others, but she wasn't allowed to. It has to do with an incident that took place a week ago…
~*~*~*~
One week earlier…
Jubilee, Jean, Rahne and Kitty were all in the girl's bathroom at the Institute. Rahne and Jubilee wanted to highlight their hair before going on the trip to Hawaii, so Kitty and Jean were there to help them do just that.
Jubilee picked up a box of dye; her Asian eyes went wide in surprise as she examined it. "Oops! Guys, I bought the wrong hair dye…"
"Let me see." Jean took the box from Jubilee. "Jeez are you color blind? This color is hideous. Anyway, I took the liberty of purchasing the perfect colors for you two—I'm the Queen of Fashion. Trust me. I know what I'm doing here." Jean tossed the rejected box of dye in the bathroom's trashcan. Then she placed her purse on the bathroom's counter-top and took out a couple of boxes of dye from it. "Let's get started." She spoke with a perky smile.
* * *
After the girls were finished playing "hair salon", Kitty had an evil idea for a prank. When no one was looking, she went back into the bathroom and grabbed the rejected box out of the trash. Then she phased into the boy's bathroom and snatched a random bottle of shampoo from the shower before sneakily phasing into her room; locking the door.
She chuckled to herself as she started squirting the dye into the half-empty shampoo bottle.
BAMF! "Hey Keety, how's eet going?"
Kitty jumped; scared out of her wits. Normally at the time when someone is doing something bad that they're not supposed to is when they're most vulnerable to getting a good scare. This was one of those times.
"Not now, Kurt." Away from Kurt's view, Kitty quickly finished emptying the dye into the bottle and re-capped it.
Kurt narrowed his eyes at her in suspicion. "Vhat are you doing?" Curious as ever, he stepped closer to the Kitty-Cat.
"It's none of your business. Please leave." Kitty turned around to face him but hid the shampoo bottle behind her back.
"You're hiding something, aren't you?" And the interrogation begins…
"What would I have to hide?" Kitty grinned at him in a phony manner. Without another word, Kurt leaped at her—tackling her to the floor and tickling her ribs mercilessly. She dropped the bottle…it rolled away somewhere on the floor. "Kurt! S-top…it!" She laughed uncontrollably as Kurt continued his game.
He was on top of her…Eventually he ended up on his knees and elbows over her. She stopped laughing and stared deeply into his gold eyes; while he stared back into her powder-blue irises. Her heart was pounding, and her breath immediately caught in her throat.
Sure, she was used to Kurt and his flirtatious games with her, but this was the first time that she felt emotional about it. She never took Kurt seriously; he was always goofing off or trying to get her attention, but now it was…different somehow.
Grinning maniacally, Kurt winked at her, got off and then grabbed the bottle when she wasn't looking before 'porting away.
"Aaarghh! That Elf…" Kitty sat up and had a sudden change of heart. "Maybe my practical joke isn't such a hot idea. I'll just like, throw away the shampoo bottle and…uh-oh…where is it?" She frantically crawled around the floor; searching everywhere for it. "Oh no, did Kurt take it? Oooh…I'm so going to get him."
She stood up and phased into Kurt's bedroom. There was a suspicious bulge in the sheets of his bed. Kitty grinned mischievously before pouncing onto the bulge. "What the--"
She was tricked. Kurt wasn't in the bed; it was just his pillows lined up underneath the sheets.
When Kitty turned around on her back, Kurt landed on top of her from his position on the ceiling; pinning her onto the bed. "Boo."
"KURT! Where did you put it?" Kitty asked angrily, not even bothering to escape from Kurt's trap, even though she was more than capable of doing so…
"Vhat? Oh! You mean you're looking for your missing thong?" Kurt asked jokingly.
Kitty gasped in total shock. "You took that! I thought I'd just lost it or something, but you went into my drawers and stole it, didn't you! You make me sick. Get off."
Kurt released his grip on her and got off the bed. "I vas kidding. I didn't even know--"
"I don't care anymore. Let's just drop it." Kitty stood up on the other side of the bed and brushed off any imaginary germs that Kurt might have "infected" her with. Kurt watched her with a look of serious hurt on his face.
When Kitty finished her display of loathing; she looked at Kurt, meeting his eyes for one second but Kurt couldn't bear to look at her anymore…Not after this. He turned away from her; gaze fixated on the ground.
"I came for the bottle. Where is it?" Kitty demanded with a scowl. Her hands were on her hips and she did not look the least bit happy.
"I put eet back in za bathroom." Kurt replied lowly. His intention behind the reason was innocent—he only wanted to play…
"Oh my…no. This is NOT happening. Did you know what was in that bottle?" Kitty walked through the bed to stand next to Kurt on the other side. He didn't reply; he just turned away from her again. "Kurt? Are you mad at me? Look, I'm sorry for what I said. I'm just mad because you took the bottle full of hair dye. Now I'm going to be in so much trouble…" Kitty bit her lower lip in worry.
"Vhat?! Zhere vas hair dye in eet? Verdammt!" He immediately turned around and grabbed Kitty's arm; 'porting the both of them in front of the guys' bathroom. The sign said "occupied".
"Shit! Who's in there?" Kitty asked, nervously glancing at Kurt.
Kurt shrugged. He was about to knock on the door, but just then a loud howl was heard from within the bathroom causing Kurt to move back. Then the door was violently ripped by razor sharp claws from the opposite side and smashed down…only to reveal Logan; in nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist and his hair wasn't dark blue anymore…instead it was a hideous bold shade of fuchsia-magenta.
Logan's deadly claws were gleaming with anticipation as he angrily stared at Kurt and Kitty. "You two brats wanna explain why my hair is pink?!!" He growled.
Kurt and Kitty backed up against the wall. "Uhh…we have n-no idea, r-right Kurt?" Kitty elbowed him. Kurt gulped and nodded.
"Nice try, Half Pint. I smelled you and the Elf's scent on my shampoo bottle. You two are grounded."
Kitty began to protest. "But Mister--"
"Don't even think about giving me the puppy-dog eyes, Half Pint. You too…Elf. No vacation for either of ya."
"Hold on. It wasn't Kurt's fault. It was all mine. He had nothing to do with it." Kitty told Logan in attempt to defend her friend.
But Kurt shook his head. "She's wrong. Eet vas my fault, too."
Logan cursed loudly before walking to his bedroom and slamming the door behind him. The sound of things being broken and sliced to pieces could be heard from inside his room.
Kitty stood in front of Kurt and put her hands on his shoulders causing him to look at her. "This is not your fault. You don't deserve to be punished, Kurt."
"Eef I make you sick, zhen vhy do you act like you care? Just leave me alone." Kurt removed her hands off him and 'ported, leaving Kitty in a state of confusion. Then she recalled what she'd said to him earlier and the pang of guilt hit her hard—like a slap in the face. "He's super sensitive…I've hurt his feelings…"
