A/N: Hey y'all! Here I go with chapter 2 which will be longer than the first. Just so you know this one is fluffy. Each section records a characters thoughts from sun-up til a few minutes later.

----Kurt-----
Kurt woke as he always had with the first touch of the sun to the eastern horizon. Some days it was just a foggy awareness of his surroundings but most; like today he was wide awake immediately. His first indrawn breath brought a smile to his face as he confirmed once again that his Other, his Mate, his Katzchen was there beside him. He didn't know if every woman smelled like this in the morning and didn't care. Kitty's scent was like the smell of woodsmoke on a cold morning : deep, clean, warm and safe all rolled into one.
"I am such a wimp." Kurt thought as he opened his eyes to greet the sun as he did every day. Carefully extracting his arm from where Kitty was using it as a pillow and slowly unravelled his tail from her knees he then carefully crawled up the wall and over to the double doors which led to his balcony to view the glory that God had made on this day.He also slightly regretted having to do this in shorts instead of naked as was his custom, but Kitty had informed him of a certain contingent of voyeurs who were curious to see just how far his fur went.
He was interrupted a few minutes later by a voice speaking gently in his head. "Children, please gather in my study. Your Danger Room sessions are cancelled. We have a mission. Yes, Kurt I know about you and Kitty." the Professor added after a few seconds leaving Kurt with the definite impression of a wry smile.
---Kitty---
Kitty came awake as soon as Kurt began to unravel his tail from around her knees. The loss of warmth just enough to wake her up from her slumber. She didn't really mind as she was treated to the sight of a nearly naked Elf walking out to the balcony. Ever since the incident with the Friends of Humanity a while back she had been phasing through his wall on a nightly basis at first for comfort because of how close they had come to losing their lives but now it was because she just didn't want to sleep without him ever again.
As Kurt stood there Kitty couldn't help but notice how the dawn sunlight caused the tips of his fur to glow giving him an almost angelic halo everywhere that wasn't covered by his boxers. "Stupid boxers, spoil the show." she thought as a tiny smile started across her lips. Although they stayed in the same bed they had agreed to wait for a later date for any more . . . intimate . . . activities but neither of them objected to a little show every now and then. "As long as it's a show only for me anyways." Kitty thought back to a few weeks ago when just before they were abducted by the F. O. H. . She had come across Jubilee and Rahne hideing in some bushes just as dawn broke and she headed out to meet Logan for Kata practice.
"Quiet, ya daftie or he'll hear ya. He's got wicked ears on 'im" Rahne whispered to her friend.
"I know, I know! Don't worry we'll get our chance." Jubes replied.
Kitty decided this was another round in the New Mutants ongoing "ambush Logan" game and would be fun to watch the Wolverine scare the pants off the girls. Then she saw Jubilee put a hand on Rahnes shoulder and point upwards at the mansion. Glancing up curiously she was more than a little surprised to see a naked Elf come out on his balcony ; HER naked elf! As she went to tell them off . . . her thoughts were interrupted by a voice in her head.
"Children, please gather in my study. Your Danger Room sessions are cancelled. We have a mission. Yes Kitty, I know about you and Kurt." The Professor told them making Kitty blush red and hide under the covers as Kurt reentered the room.
---Rogue---
Rogue sat up in bed with a strangled gasp. The dream was always the same. A million faceless people; some familiar some not; but all were trying to take a piece of her,trying to take her very soul from her. The Professor had taught her to guide her dreams so that she could control her actions in her sub-conscious state so most nights it wasn't usually that bad. But recently, there was a new element to the dreams: she had a protector. A large green toad would place itself bodily between her and the faceless army allowing her time to get away but whenever she turned back she saw that her protector was being overwhelmed and this sight was what caused her to awake with a gasp. One didn't need a psychology degree to figure out that she was worried about her new boyfriend and what her mutation might do to him. Rolling over onto her stomach to look out the window she saw it was the quiet time before dawn. " I still have an hour before the D.R. session so maybe I can get back to sleep although I never have before." she thought. The feel of someone sitting down at the foot of the bed brought a smile to her lips. The slight smell of dew told her that Todd had stopped by on his way back from his morning shower. " I love the way he smells fresh from his shower. I wish he wasn't so sensitive about it so I could tell him." she thought also thinking that now that he was staying at the mansion and had access to all the fresh water he needed his smell had been found to be proportionate to how hydrated his skin was each day. His former malodour had been caused by the drying out of his porous skin. Now he tended to shower almost obsessively and smelled sort of like a the woods after the rain. And Rogue loved it, maybe even loved him but she wasn't ready to say that yet but soon.
"Rogue? You still awake ?" he asked knowing she had a hard time getting back to sleep after a nightmare, and if he heard her from the hall then it must have been a doozy.
"Yeah, Todd I'm still awake." she replied as she arched and stretched her back, winceing at a newly discovered kink. "Think you could rub my back for me? Since you're here and all." she was still a little uncomfortable about asking someone to touch her.
"Umm... no problem. Just don't look okay?" her smile widened as she threw the blankets aside and began to pull her pajama top up so that her back was exposed to his gaze and touch. Although she knew what was coming it still felt new and strange and erotic when she felt his tongue begin to lick up and down her back secreting a baby oil like substance and as much as she liked the feeling and was really anticipating his hands which would follow it was sort of weird to see. As Todd's hands began to knead her flesh and she began to relax the next thought to go through he head was
"Children, please gather in my study. Your Danger Room sessions are cancelled. We have a mission. Todd please get some clothes on." It was only then that Rogue realized that Todd was only wearing a light bathrobe. And she blushed.
--- Elsewhere---
Catherine Harvey woke again once more in tears from something she couldn't quite remember but felt as though something terribly important to her had been misplaced and she needed to find it. It almost seemed incidental that she was floating nearly three feet off her bed.
