Finding the Power Within
Disclaimers: I do not own X-men: Evolution what so ever. I do own Erica Stiles and Alison. This story takes place some time during season three.but after 'under lock and key' I think was the ep title.
Part Nine
All of the teenage X-men were lined up at the Office door of Professor Xavier listening on what was going on. They knew that Alison and Rogue had snuck out during the night and returned later but it was past curfew. They knew that Professor Xavier was not one to yell but it was getting pretty ugly in the room, for the professor was raising his voice with the girls.
"How could you two just sneak out in the middle of the night!?!" Xavier almost practically shouted at the girls. "That you took Scott's Car!"
"Well, Scott's car doesn't make that much noise, ummm..Sorry, dad.but we just went out to meet someone is all." Alison stated simply holding up her hands in front of her.
"To meet someone?" Xavier arched an eyebrow, "A young man, who happened to be a mutant and working for Magneto, Alison!"
"Professor it's my fault, if Alison didn't know about it she wouldn't have wanted to help." Rogue came in defense of Alison.
"Rogue, it was as much of your idea as hers. It doesn't matter you both went out! What if you two had gotten in trouble or hurt?" Xavier stated, "I could not bare the thought of any one of you getting hurt when no one can go and help you."
"Ok, so what's our punishment?" Alison asked with a sigh.
"I would say not letting either of you going to the dance but that wouldn't be enough." Xavier said simply, "You both may go to the dance but starting Saturday you two are going to clean this place top to bottom including all the vehicles and the X-jet. Alison, you will not be allowed to take the motorcycle, you both have to ride with the others."
The girls groaned, it would take them just a month to get everything done, it would take a while even using mutant powers. They girls just sighed in defeat and knew it was fair enough. They were actually getting off easy, but still it was torture to know you are going to have fun one night to be only put to punishment the morning after. Not only that but have to ride in already crowded vehicles was enough torture.
"Now, you two both have school to attend to," Xavier said simply as the girls took their leave. Xavier just sighed once the girls were out of the room. Beast entered the room after he told all the teens to go get ready for school.
"I heard what happened," Beast said quietly as he entered the room.
"Yes, well.I knew having Alison back that she would eventually go back to some of her hold habits." Xavier chuckled. "I have to admit it did feel comforting that she did break the rules."
"I think your daughter is probably the only one who is willing to defy you," Beast smiled as they watched the three vehicles leave for school.
"Yes, probably so. But I do know Alison did it in order to help Rogue out with a problem." Xavier sighed, "She is quite a character."
"I wonder, if the great Professor Xavier was ever like his daughter at one point in time," Beast said casually as the men shared in a good laugh.

During lunch the X-men all sat around the table and ate their lunch. However the others were constantly asking question in what the girls were doing last night to get the professor to actually raise his voice. Alison sighed as did Rogue who just rolled her eyes. They continued to avoid the questions they were bombarded with and ate their lunch quietly.
"I have to admit you girls did cause quite a stir this morning," Jean said simply. "I don't ever remember Professor X ever raising his voice."
"Jean's right, why did you two sneak out anyway?" Kitty asked with a questioning stare.
"We just went out, okay," Rogue stated flatly. "Besides, I think the fact Alison is professor's kid, maybe that's why he raised his voice."
"That's probably true too," Kurt added as he ate his hamburger.
"Hey!" Alison came out of her daze to start pouting and stood up from the table. "If you guys don't mind, I think I'll take my leave."
"Alison, wait a sec," Scott jumped out his seat to go after the retreating girl.
"Where does he think he's going?" Jean said with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
The group began to talk among themselves, but Jean and Rogue kept out of it all. Jean continued to keep her gaze to where Scott had gone off to, and Rogue just didn't want to talk after being basically interrogated by her friends about the events of last night.
~ He was my first kiss, ~ Rogue remembers his lips on hers and also his little beard that he had. ~ That tickled, but it still was nice. I really have to thank Alison but I also want to learn to control my powers. ~
As things were basically going on the same way, Alison was at her locker putting things away. She grabbed her books that she needed for the second half of the day. Scott made his way over to Alison who seemed quite intent on ignoring him.
"Ally?" Scott approached to be only brushed off by Alison. "Aww, come on. Alison, don't be that way."
"Be what way?" Alison turned to look at him apparently upset, to say the least.
"Look, I know I should be upset with you about taking my car, but I'm not. Call me crazy but I trust you with it. And I know you are upset but you can't keep on going off like you're mad at the world." Scott said softly as once again Alison's back as to him. "Besides the dance is tomorrow night and I would like my date to be some what pleasant with me."
Alison sighed in defeat, "Look Scott, I just don't like being interrogated by my friends. I mean, my father I understand.he's my father. Or even the other adults but not by you guys."
"I'm sorry, really I am." Scott said as Alison turned around to face him once again. "Am I forgiven?"
"I'll think about it." Alison replied as she began to walk off.
~ I have to admit, he sure is cute. ~ Alison began to giggle till she heard Scott say something behind her.
"Ally, did you say something?" Scott asked, he could have sworn he heard Alison say he was cute.
"No, why?" Alison turned to look back at him.
"Uh.no reason," Scott waved as Alison just shrugged as he went back to the cafeteria.

The night at the Xavier manor was quite if not for a certain Kitty Kat making her way around the institute. She stopped in front of a certain blue fuzzy elf's room and phased through the door. He was writing something at his desk and Kitty snuck up behind him.
"Boo," Kitty whispered in Kurt's ear to have him jump just a little bit and look up at her.
"Kitty, don't scare me like that." Kurt said trying to make sure he's heart was still beating.
Kitty giggle, "Sorry, but there was something I wanted to ask you about."
"Go ahead," Kurt said as Kitty sat down on his bed across from him.
"Well, we're like best friends right?" Kitty asked nervously.
"Sure we are, I mean we do a lot things best friends do." Kurt shrugged but noticed Kitty's poster and body language, "What is it Kitty?"
"I was wondering, well if you weren't going with anyone.to the dance I mean, that you would...um.go with me." Kitty turned her gaze to the ground to feel the bed sink next to her.
"Aren't I the one who is suppose to ask you that?" Kurt asked as he placed his fingers under her chin and lifted her face up so she could look him in the eyes.
"Kurt, you mean it?" Kitty stared into his eyes.
Kurt just nodded, "I've been wanting to ask you for a long time but never had the nerve to."
"So, well I guess ask already." Kitty smiled that made Kurt melt.
"Miss Kitty Pryde will you do me the honor of going to the school dance with me," Kurt asked sweetly.
"Yes," Kitty hugged Kurt tightly as he returned the hug.
The two held each other warmly, as they slowly pulled apart both wearing smiles on their faces. Kitty slowly made her way out of the room with a happy smirk on her face. Alison was there leaning against the wall as Kitty phased out of the door.
"You talked to him?" Alison asked with a warm smile.
"Yea, but I'm going to ask how he feels tomorrow night at the dance." Kitty said with a bright smile.
"I'm glad that some things are falling into place for you Kitty," Alison said as she started to walk towards her own room till Kitty's question stopped her.
"What about you and Scott?"
Alison turned around with an uncertain look across her face, "What about me and Scott?"
"Well, do you dig him or what?" Kitty asked approaching the older girl.
"Scott and I are just good friends, nothing more." Alison smiled and turned to walk to her room and Kitty just sighed.
~ That girl is clueless.she is so falling for Scott.but then where does that leave Jean? ~ Kitty yawned and stretched a bit. ~ I guess I should head off to bed. ~
Alison walked past the first door that was next to hers and stopped for a moment. The door was the one that lead to Scott's room and what Kitty asked still on her mind. She didn't know what to think anymore, but then again she just sighed and walked into her room. As she closed the door she leaned against it.
~ Well, one thing is for sure.I've not fallen in love with anyone or there would be some link between him and I. So there are no worries about Scott and me. But I do get worried; I know Jean still harbors feelings for him. ~ Alison sighed and landed on her bed. ~ But what if I fall for him? ~
Alison shook her head and rearranged herself so she was lying on her bed the proper way as if she was about to fall asleep. She stared at the ceiling to think about all the events that have taken place thus far. She sighed, however much longer she thought there was no bond.it was already too late. The moment that she and Scott met was already written in destiny, but will they be too stubborn to see it?

Friday night had come to pass, the others all decided they would go as one group. Professor Xavier had pulled some strings and rented a limo for the students to enjoy. Most everyone was wearing the outfit from the Sadie Hawkins dance but the gentlemen were all dressed in distinguished suits. If you changed their necktie to a bow tie, it probably looked like they were all wearing tuxedos. Kurt patiently waited for Kitty to come down from upstairs so they could all make a move on, however Scott was the only who was not riding in the limo. Scott was going to take his own car, but he needed his date to come down the stairs as well.
"You know, what takes you girls so long anyway?" Scott asked with a defeated expression.
"Well.we have our hair, make up, and making sure the dress looks right," Amara said as she tilted her head as she was creating a list in her head.
"Well, hair depends on length Amara," Tabitha stated matter-of-factly, she had chose to wear a simply black opposed to what she wore to the prior dance. "I have short hair, so no time at all."
"Hey guys there's Kitty," Bobby said with a sigh of relief as she came down the stairs.
Kurt smiled warmly and took in her appearance, it was the same two-piece blue dress but her hair was up in a bun. There were a few loose curls that fell down to give her the elegant look. Kurt took her hand and placed a kiss on her cheek, Storm took pictures. She was the official photographer for the X-men before they were off to the dance.
"Well, that's all of us that are going into the limo," Ray said as he counted the heads to make sure they were all there. "Should we wait for Alison?"
"Yeah, I so want to see what she looks like!" Kitty said excitedly.
"What do you mean?" Kurt asked with a confused expression.
"Oh Alison was helping me with my hair, so she didn't have her dress on." Kitty stated simply.
"Ok, we'll wait for her then." Sam sighed as he sat on the couch.
Professor Xavier came to see that all of the students were waiting patiently for his daughter and chuckled. He made his way over to Storm who had the digital camera, and she let him see some of the pictures she had taken. Xavier smiled warmly to see nicely taken pictures and some funny posed ones.
"I see my daughter has yet to make her grand entrance," Xavier stated with a warm smile.
"Yeah, well she sure does like to take her time," Scott let himself fall into a chair after have been standing, waiting for his date to make her way down the stairs.
"Sorry to keep you guys waiting," A voice rang from the top of the stairs. Scott turned his gaze up to the top of the stairs and gasped.

Enter the rebellious daughter.*sigh* Is Scott starting to hear things? Have to wait and see what will happen!
