A/N: Hmm... I feel updates make the world happy. *toddles off to write*

Sure her parents weren't there, but it was still a rocking party. Even Rogue was getting into the spirit and dancing with Scott, sans the whole skin contact thing. Kitty could spot a crush a mile away, though apparently she couldn't see closer considering that Kurt was eyeing her over his drink as she danced with Tabitha and Jean. "Who planned all of this?" Kitty asked as Tabitha twirled her around.

"Pssh, I'm part of the Brotherhood and even I know the answer to that," said Boom Boom. True enough Lance, Pietro, Fred, and Todd were there too. Todd was playing video games with Evan, better Todd than Pietro because than things would become too competitive. Fred was killing the buffet of food they'd laid out. Pietro was dancing with two girls, neither one aware he was using his speed to dance with both. And Lance mirrored Kurt who was on the other side of the room, both eyeing Kitty and trying to get the courage to ask her to dance while they respectively sipped on their own sodas. "Kurt poofed over to invite us. All his idea." Tabitha's eyes glowed as she watched the blush transform on Kitty's cheeks at that knowledge. Yup, ol' Boom Boom knew where sparks existed and she was ready to help ignite the one under this pair of smitten teenagers.

"Really?" Kitty gushed and felt her heart jump to a rhythm closer to that of the song's beat they were dancing to.

"Yup! We knew your birthday was this month, but we kind of forgot with everything happening until he reminded us yesterday," admitted Jean, her head ducked a little guiltily.

"You should go thank him Kitty," cheered Tabitha pushing Kitty in his direction. As soon as Kitty began walking away Tabitha and Jean spied Lance heading to intercept her. Normally they were on different teams, Tabitha was part of the Brotherhood for goodness sakes, but little blue was a friend to her. "Damn! Why can't Avalanche leave them alone for a second?"

Jean was thrown off a loop. "You want her and Kurt to end up together?"

"Honey, just because we're enemies doesn't mean I'm blind," the bright bloned twirled Jean around. She was trying to think of a way to prevent Lance from messing up fuzzy's chance. "Lance is trouble even in my books." A twinkle lit up in her eyes. "Hey Red, you're telepathic right. Read my mind." The brazen mutant dared Jean.
