Chapter 3- Why We Forgot About Our Responsibilities
"Uh-oh, I think we've been caught." Scott said to Evan as they turned to face Jean and the rest of their teammates.
"Jean, we are so sorry, we didn't mean to forget. It's just that…" Scott tried to explain but Jean cut him off.
"Don't apologize to me, I had a ride home. Apologize to these guys. If Duncan hadn't noticed them standing outside the school they'd probably either still be there or they'd have had to beg Lance for a ride."
"Guys, we're sorry." "I should have reminded Scott." "I should have remembered you" "We're sorry"
"Oh, by the way. I guess Lance came by to get Kitty. We found them outside…"Scott trailed off as he glanced around the room looking for Kitty. "Hey, were is Kitty? I need to have a talk with her about who she hangs out with. Oh, never mind."
During the commotion Kitty quietly slipped out of the room and decided to call Lance. She was so excited that they were finally a couple. She also didn't want to be around when Scott remembered why he had dragged her into the house. As she dialed the number she looked in the mirror and admired the choker that Lance had given her. She assumed that he'd gotten it when he ran inside to see why Scott was there but as far as she knew he wasn't planning on giving it to her until he came outside.
"Hello?" She recognized Fred's voice on the other end of the line.
"Like, is Lance there?"
"Yeah, hold on a sec" She could hear Fred shout for his leader.
"Hello?"
"Hey Lance, like. What's up?"
"Oh, hey Kitty. Not much. But I was thinking. As our first date as a couple, would you like to go out to dinner and to a movie Friday?"
"Oh, like that'd be great…" and off they went making plans for Friday.
"Jean, wait up." Scott called to his friend after they'd finished apologizing to every one. "I have something for you. It's nothing much, I found it but it reminded me of you and I wanted you to have it."
"Oh, it's beautiful" Jean exclaimed as he showed her the necklace.
"Hey, Auntie O. I have a present for you. It's to say thanks for all you've done to help me while I've been adjusting to my powers"
"Oh, Evan, it's lovely"
"Hey Tabby, I found this necklace and it reminded me of you. I figured since you're like my little sister you'd like it."
"Neat, it kinda looks like one of my explosions. Thanks"
"Hey Rogue"
" Ah! Pietro! Don't scare me like that. Hey, why are you here?"
"I found this necklace and it made me think of you. I want you to have it so you'll always remember that I'm here for you and I'm not mad that you left the Brotherhood. I'mkindofsad, but aslongasyourhappy."
"Wow, slow down. I can't understand when you start talking fast like that. Thank you though"
"Will you do the honor of putting it on for me?" All the girls asked their giver at the same time and then all at the same time the boys put the necklaces on and clasped them.
Kurt had been watching Jean and Scott, Storm and Evan, and Pietro and Rogue from his dangling place on the ceiling. *That was strange, they all gave the necklaces at the same time, and they all put the necklaces on at the same time. And they were all out of hearing range from one another. Weird *
