Worst Date Ever
Chapter Three
--bamf--
Kurt ported right beside Amanda.
"Amanda, are you alright?" he asked hesitantly.
"Huh?... Oh, yeah, just a little dazed from the spinning" Amanda informed him with a smile. Kurt couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The last thing he wanted to deal with on their date was any form of personal injury. Not that all of this was much better.
"Let's get you out of this." Kurt said reaching out and grabbing onto her arm. He then helped her stand up and out of the kart.
"Thanks," Amanda said but Kurt didn't reply, he was distracted by the sight of a very large and angry looking man heading their way.
"Oh no!" Kurt sighed then quickly looked towards the end of the course where the others were getting out of their own karts with several workers approaching them. Kurt didn't even ask he just ported himself and Amanda over to them.
-- bamf --
"Whoa," Amanda swayed into him, "A little warning next time." she requested still dizzy from the crash. Kurt didn't have time to apologize.
"You kids are in a lot of trouble." one worker said wearing the same expression as the owner had.
"We're sorry," the young mutants all said together.
"It was just some harmless fun." Bobby added. Kurt silently wished he was close enough to smack him on the backside of his head. This was no time for jokes.
"Harmless," The owner shouted from behind them. Everyone turned around and faced him. "You wrecked the course, ruined a perfectly good go-kart, and made those two crash!" He pointed at Kurt and Amanda. Amanda grabbed hold of and squeezed Kurt's hand but otherwise remained silent.
"They are sorry," Kurt began looking at the new mutants but a worker cut him off before he could continue speaking.
"I've heard about you, what you are. It's all over the news about what a nuisance you mutants are to the rest of us."
"Yeah." a few other works voiced with him.
"That's enough," The owner broke up the conversation, he took a quick look at all the teens, "You're lucky no one was hurt or I wouldn't hesitate to call the cops. But, since the only thing you damaged was my course, how about you all clear and clean it up and we'll call it even."
"Yes, that vould be great. Thank you." Kurt responded. The other mutants just nodded and then with a look from Kurt they headed down the track to clean up the mess they had made with their powers.
"It should go without saying, but none of you are welcome to come back here." the owner voiced and then headed away from the track towards the main building leaveing the teens with the unfriendly workers to give them orders on what need to be done.
It took a long time but eventually the work was over and Kurt, Amanda and the others were then escorted out to the main entrance by a security guard.
"I'd like to vait here vith them until Storm arrives to pick them up. Is dat alright?" Kurt asked Amanda. She nodded.
"It's okay, I understand."
Fifteen minutes later they were waving good bye to Storm as she drove off with the others grumbling in the backseats of the X-Van.
Kurt and Amanda began walking together along the sidewalk. After a few moments Amanda slipped her hand around Kurt's effectively gaining his attention.
"You know, I don't think I like miniature golf after all." Amanda said with a sly smile. Kurt tried to give one back but he was too depressed and just turned his head away from her and kept walking forward in silence.
It didn't take too much longer before Amanda's cellphone went off and her parents saying they wanted her to come home. Apparently, they had made the news with the incident with the go-karts.
"It'll be okay," Amanda tried to assure Kurt who looked worried, "I'll explain it was the others who started the mess with their powers, not you." She put her phone back in her pocket then once again joined hands with him.

Kurt and Amanda appeared just in front of Amanda's houses front steps. The porch light was on waiting for Amanda. Kurt knew the night was over and he wished he could turn back time and make it go better.
"This has to be your vorst date ever," Kurt hunched his shoulders in a mixture of embarrassment and shame. The night hadn't gone the way he had planned and he knew it was nothing close to what Amanda had planned on.
"Yeah," Amanda laughed, Kurt hunched his shoulders more. "So, when's our next one?" she asked giving him a warm smile. Kurt didn't know what to say, that wasn't at all what he was expecting to hear from her.
Amanda stared at Kurt expectantly.
"You still want to go out with me?" Kurt blurted out, "Even after the chaos of tonight?"
Amanda laughed again.
"Of course I do. I like you, including the fact that you're a mutant. And if that means that I have to get used to a life that is anything but normal, I'm all for it. So long as you don't mind letting me experience it with you." Kurt couldn't believe his ears. Amanda smiled up at him.
"I don't mind." Kurt smiled back at her. He leaned forward and together they shared their first kiss.
I hope you enjoyed this story, I had the ending done when I first came up with this idea and then I had to start it and get it to the point that the ending would make some remote sense. Hopefully, for those who have read my oneshot Ready in a Second, you think that this was an adequate sequel.
I look forward to your reviews and comments, thanks for reading! - umi
