The X-Angels

When 4 new girls arrive at the X Mansion, trouble is stirred; a soft-spoken but vengeful young brunette, a smart and cocky Cajun, a bubbly fashionable blond and a fiery red head who all happen to be relatives of someone at the X Mansion. Lots of pairings!

Chapter Three: The Halloween Party

Izzy was in a dilemma. It was her 1st Bayville party ever and she already had 7 dates: Paul, Keith, "Ding Dong", Shaun, Ren, Toad and Pietro.

"Ree-hee-hee-nah!!!" Rei (a.k.a. Rena) sighed. "What now? Can't decided your date? That would be your problem. Can't decide which dress to wear? Your problem again! Can't decide whether to wear your hair up or down? All your problems! What is it this time? Can't decide between blue or green eye shadow?"

Izzy scoffed, "Heck no! I can't decide between pink or silver!" Jay smirked and put down the hairdryer. "Why not silver? It does match your date" Rei and Cali burst out laughing but Izzy didn't catch on.

"Are you calling Pietro old? Listen, it's his natural hair color! You know how he has a fast metabolism and everything! When he was small his hair also grew too fast and now it's white!" Jay sighed in pity and walked over to Izzy, brushing a strand of golden hair off her shoulders.

"That means, by the time he's 20, he'll already be bald" Izzy shrieked and dropped her make-up and started fake crying. "BUH I DONWANNA DATE AN OL' GEE-HEE-HEEZER!"

Meanwhile

The X-kids arrived at the party wearing their school clothes, a Halloween costume or a sluttish dress.

Jean had her hair pulled back in the Sirens style and was wearing a sparkly green boob tube, a long black skirt with fake glow-in-the-dark spiders attached at the bottom and matching sparkly green high heels.

Rogue had her hair down straight; she was wearing a long black sleeveless dress with a netty scarf wrapped around her neck. Her face was half-covered by a giant witch hat she kept propped slantways on her head.

Scott- well, no one could even tell he was Scott in his Frankenstein costume. Evan, Ray and Jamie had coincidentally turned up in matching Matrix outfits (Jamie had borrow his from Roberto… again). Sam was dressed up as Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Izzy was wearing a playboy bunny outfit with silver eye shadow. Jay, like the remaining New Recruits, Kurt and Kitty was just wearing her school clothes. Rei had on a long black cloak with a hood and a scythe. Cali was dressed up as Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Kitty rang the ball of the Brotherhood mansion and shrieked when she realized they had replaced their ordinary bell with a ghost's howl. Lance laughed as he opened the door for them. "Relax Kitty, it's just the doorbell. But if you're that scared, you can always hold my hand"

Kitty turned red and sheepishly smiled as Kurt rolled his eyes and muttered to Evan, "He's as cheesy as that gunk between my toenails!" Evan made a sick face and pretended to barf, catching Jay's eye and making her giggle.

Ray shot Evan a death glare but Evan returned it with cross eyes and a stuck-out tongue, making Jay giggle even more. It was like glare, stupid face, giggle, glare, stupid face, giggle, death glare, retarded face, roar of laughter.

"Hurry up" Rei groaned and pushed past the group clogging the main entrance while pulling Cali and Jay and Izzy with her. They were scheduled for a performance in 10 minutes and had to set up. Cali was pulling Sam with her, who was pulling Ray, who was pulling Roberto, who was pulling about 5 Jamies.

Soon Cali, Jay and Rei were on stage playing their remix of 'This is Halloween' from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Izzy has chickened out 5 minute earlier, confessing that she actually didn't know how to play any instruments so Jay moved up to lead guitarist happily. "Bass never was my thing, y'know"

Rei: Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Jay: Come with us and you will see, this our song of Halloween…

Suddenly Ray jumped on stage.

Ray: This is Halloween! This is Halloween! Pumpkins scream in the dead of night!

Sam jumps on stage and starts singing with Cali.

Sam and Cali: This is Halloween, everybody make a scene. Trick or treat till the neighbors are going to die of FRIGHT! It's our song, everybody screams, in this song of Halloween!

Everybody: This is Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

Somebody offstage screams and the audience applaud.

As Rei walks offstage smiling pleased with herself, a boy with shaggy black hair and dark black eyes wearing baggy black pants, a black shirt and toilet paper loosely wrapped around him walked up to her and smiled. "Nice song, I liked your drumming"

Rei smiled back and they started to talk about the influence of drummers these days and other stuff I have no experience of writing about. Cali was happily hopping up and down, her arm linked with Sam who was having a hard time clinging onto her when she was so hyper. Jay walked down the stairs casually and rolled her eyes when the next band came up and started playing "Kiss me – Sixpence None The Richer"

"Gay" She said to herself. Ray's face popped up in front of her, startling her. "I'm sorry, did you say Ray, honey-bunny?" Jay glared at him and pushed past him but Ray was as persistent as ever. "C'mon, let's dance! It'll be romantic! You and me under a giant…" Ray looked up, expecting to see Mystique's chandelier that usually hung there but ended up coming face to face with a giant "…pumpkin"

Jay sighed impatiently. "Look, Ray. I don't do dancing so just back off!" Ray gave her the infamous puppy eyes but Jay wasn't buying it. "So, promise if you don't dance with me you won't dance with anyone?" Jay rolled her eyes. "As if anyone would be dumb enough to ask me" She felt someone tap her shoulder and turned around to face Jamie. "Um… Jay…" he said "Will you dance with me?"

Rei was in the middle of the dance floor, mesmerized by the stranger's dark eyes. They were slow dancing together and she didn't even know his name.

DING DONG DING

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight! Lead me out on the moonlit floor!

"Crap…" he said, interrupting Rei's thoughts. "It's midnight… I have to go now"

DONG DING DONG

Lift your open hand, strike up the band and make the fireflies dance…

"Huh? Why? Why midnight? What's going on?" Rei said, still bewildered in his eyes.

DING DONG DING

Silver moon's sparkling…

He quickly leaned towards Rei and kissed her on the lips. "We'll meet again… I promise"

DONG DING DOOOOONG

So kiss me…

He was gone, just as abruptly as he'd arrived.
