Hiya everyone. I decided not to make this a one shot, and call it Mutant Holidays instead. And now, Mutant Christmas!! And THANK-YOU everyone who reviewed the first chapter.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Professor Xavier watched as Logan and Scott stood on ladders, holding up a large banner that said 'Merry Christmas' and trying to get it straight and centered over the foyer. "A little more to the left, Scott." Professor said. Scott obliged and stretched out to his left a little more.
"Just a touch more, yes, a little more..." Remy said from behind the Professor. Scott leaned out farther and farther, on his tipi toes, then CRASH! He fell. Remy smothered his snickers and coughed to hide them.
"Yes, Remy, it was so nice of you, John and Piotr to come help us set up." Professor said, ignoring the fact that Scott had just fallen a few feet to the ground.
"No problem Professor, jus' helpin' out where Remy's needed." Remy winked at Rogue, who was moving a box of streamers.
"Well your not needed. Professor, did you see that, he made me fall over!" Scott whined.
"Scott, it was your fault for not moving the ladder more to the left like Ororo advised." Professor pointed out.
"Hey, I cant stand up here all day holding this by myself!" Logan called. Rogue quickly came over to help, but instead of the ladder, flew up and tied her side securely. The professor had told Rogue to try and gain control over her psyches and powers, and she was doing quite well.
Logan tied his side up and thanked Rogue. Then he took the ladders over to the Christmas tree and started putting on popcorn strings.
Kitty came in, closely followed by Lance and Pietro, who were trying to carry the large boom box that Kitty had gotten for Hanukkah from her parents since she wasn't going home for vacation. "Ok, guys, put it on the table over their... Like, be careful Pietro! Don't drop it, Lance!" She ordered. The guys put it on the table, panting heavily.
Wanda then came in with a handful of miscellaneous CD's. "Ok, I told everyone to give me their favorite CD so that we can play it. We have everything from Black Sabbath, Evanescence, O-Town, and Christina Agulera." She said, making faces at the last two.
"Like, great! Let me put them in!" Kitty said as she started putting the CD's inside her boom box. "Like, Lance, I hope this Limp Biscuit CD is edited!" Kitty said.
A group of cats followed Kitty around. One of them jumped on the table, sniffed the boom box, and laid on it to fall asleep. The smallest one was picked up by Kitty. "Hey Diamond! Are you being a good girl?" The cat meowed, as if saying 'when am I ever?'
Suddenly another cat came in, but this one was made of fire. Amara came in after it, followed by John. "John, its so cute!" Amara said as the cat rubbed against Amara's bare leg.
Piotr walked in quietly. "You wanted me, Professor?" he asked. Professor nodded.
"Yes, Poitr, I was wondering if you knew if Eric was coming?"
"And Sabertooth." Logan added with a growl.
"Magneto is coming, but Victor sends his regrets." Poitr said.
"Peter!" Jamie cried, running up and giving him a hug.
"Hello Jamie, and its Poitr." the metal giant corrected.
Jamie looked up at him innocently, "That's what I said, Peter." Poitr chuckled quietly.
"Poitr w'at is dat t'ing growing on your hip!? Oh, 's just de twerp." Remy concluded. Jamie stuck his young at the Cajun.
"Stupid Swamp Rat." Jamie said.
"Sewer Rat." Remy retorted. Tears welled up in Jamie's eyes.
"Wahhhh! Gambit called me names!" He cried. All the girls seemed to hear him immediately, and all rushed over to see what was wrong with the little boy. Even Wanda was concerned about the little twirp.
"What's wrong Jamie?" Jubilee asked.
"Who called you names?" Amara wanted to know, fire forming in her clutched hand.
"Want me to hurt him?" Tabitha asked.
"I could send him a nice hex bolt!" Wanda said a little over enthusiastically.
The boys gathered on the other side of the room. "Its not fair! That little idiot gets all the girls whenever he whines!" Bobby complained.
"Aww come on you guys, the Sheila's are just bein' nice, they'd do the same for any of us, see." John said. He walked over to them and tripped over some unseen object *cough*theair*cough* "OUCH! I just fell and hurt myself!" He cried, clutching his knee.
The girls paused, peered over at him, glared at him, and continued worrying over Jamie.
John walked back to the guys. "Alright, so maybe not." The others snickered.
Then all the metal things in the room started zooming around everywhere. Silverwear was flying around the room, and Logan was too. Everyone ignored it.
"So, who's up for Twister?" Pietro asked. He was back in a second, and spread the game out. They all started playing, Jamie as the spinner. Soon everyone was tangled up with eachother. Somehow, whenever Remy was tangled up with Rouge, one of them would be untangled by having to move away. Kitty had to duck under Pietro to put her right hand on Yellow.
"I love this game." Pietro said, winking at Kitty under him. she elbowed him in the gut. Pietro lost balance and fell down, but instead of taking Kitty with him, she phased through him.
Wanda and Lance were tangled in a very... interesting way (A/N: Interpret it as you wish.) Lance wiggled his eyebrows and made kissy faces at Wanda, who in turn growled at him and tried hard to hide her smile. Then a large bang was heard as Magneto threw the doors open and entered. No one took notice.
"OK, Tabitha, Right hand on blue." Jamie called, Tabitha moved her arm under her leg to reach the closest blue.
"Hellooo, evil bad guy here to trash your party!" Magneto said. No one payed him any attention.
"John, Left hand red." Jamie called. John moved under Amara.
"Hey 'Mara, I like it under here, so cozy." He smiled impishly at her. Amara rolled her eyes.
"WHY ISN'T ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE EVIL GUY IN THE FOYER!?" Magneto called.
Jamie finally looked up at Magneto who was fuming. "Oh, Eric, your here! Well, if you haven't noticed, no one's really afraid of you after you told us about Mr. Tiddywinkles." Jamie pointed out.
"Oh... OK... Can I play?" Magneto asked, looking at the teenagers playing Twister. Then he saw Lance flirting with his daughter... "Hey, rock-boy, get away from my daughter!" He cried.
Wanda and Lance looked up at him "...Right... And what are you going to do? Attack us with your stuffed teddy-bears?' Lance asked.
Magneto looked like he was about to explode when Charles came wheeling in. "Eric! How nice of you to join us!" He said, leading the Master of magnetism away from the teens.
Later after the teens had finished playing Twister they decided to dance for a while, or at least some of them.
"Please, Roguie, just one dance!" Remy pleaded.
"Ah'm not dancin' and lookin' lahke a fool with yah." She said again.
Jamie walked up to Rogue and whispered something in her ear. "Fahne Jamie, but only one." she said, letting Jamie lead her next to Kitty to dance. Remy nearly fell over.
"FOOD'S READY!" Logan roared throughout the mansion. The teens immediately stopped dancing, and rushed to the large Buffett table. After they gathered food they all went to sit by the tree and eat. Jamie, Bobby, Ray, Roberto and Sam started sorting the Christmas presents into piles according to person.
"We cant open our presents until tomorrow! Its only Christmas Eve!" Tabby said, appalled.
"Yea!" Freddy agreed, mouth fulled with food.
"Yo, lets stay up and catch Santa Clause!" Todd said excitedly.
The adults heard the news from the room over and sweat dropped. "Not to worry, I already got them presents from Santa, now who is going to pretend to be Santa... I cant be." Professor explained.
"I'm a woman, so that takes me out." Ororo said.
"Do I look like a Christsmasy kinda guy?" Logan asked.
"Stop looking at me like that! Just because I have white hair does -not- mean I'm a shoe in for Santa!" Magneto said. They continued staring at him. "Fine! What I do for these children..." he growled.
"Lets all have a steak out and catch him!" John said.
"Its a stake out not steak out." Amara corrected.
"Sounds fun, Ah'm game." Rogue said.
"The professor has some tents, lets go get them and set them up!" Jean said. The guys rushed off to follow her while the girls went to the kitchen and rec room. They brought down the TV and brought chips, soda, and other necessities for staying up late.
When the adults looked in the room, they saw the girls setting up the TV with no trouble, and the guys trying to find out how to put up the many small tents they found.
"...You know guys, that is why they gave us instructions..." Jean pointed out.
"We don't need instructions! We're MEN!" Scott said proudly. Jean blinked, shrugged and went back to watching TV.
Pietro whizzed around his tent and it was up in a second. "Wow, it looks great Pietro!" Kitty said, climbing in. A soon as she was in, though, it collapsed on top of her. "I think it, like, needs a little more work..."
After a half an hour of the guys cussing out whomever mad tents so difficult to put together, the girls shoed them off and used the instructions. Ten minutes later the guys came back to perfectly made tents.
"...Damn their good." Lance said.
"Hey, Cuddle bumpkins, you wanna share that tent with your's truly?" Todd asked. The girls sweat dropped, the guys were expecting to sleep with them while they were expecting to sleep with their room mate...
"Rehmy, yah touch meh one more time and Ah'll be forecd to hurt yah."
"Well maybe if de twirp didn' take up so much room den we wouln't be squished!"
"I don't take up -that- much room!" Yes, Remy, Rogue and Jamie had gotten the biggest tent, and were all together. All the teens were in their tents, with the flaps wide open so that they could watch the TV if they wanted.
Eventually they turned off the lights and TV. A few of them fell asleep, leaving two people to guard the chimney. This half hour was Remy and Rogue's turn. It was relatively quiet, sometimes they'd swap jokes or flirt, but nothing happened until five minutes before their shift was over.
"Oh Jean, come on, please! It wont hurt you at all, I promise." They heard.
"I don't know Scott, what if we don't like it?" Jean protested.
"Its not like a commitment or anything, besides, if anything happens, we'll just return it or give it to someone." Scott promised. "Besides, some people do it every night and nothing happens to them."
"...Well, if your sure..." She agreed.
"Merde, Remy don' t'ink we should be listenin' to dis!" Remy said. Rogue was shocked.
"Mmm this is so good!"
"Sinful! Mmmmm Absolutely sinful!" Jean agreed, moaning slightly in delight.
Remy stood up. "What the hell do you think your doing?" Rogue whispered at him.
"Remy can't let dem do dat, de'll get cought and in trouble!" He said.
Remy walked up to their tent and threw back the flap "Stop dat!" he cried, covering his eyes with one hand, and shaking his finger at them with the other.
"Stop what?" Jean and Scott asked innocently. Remy and Rogue looked to find them eating a chocolate cake...
"Oh... Um... N.nuthin" Remy stuttered.
"Whats wrong?-Oh! You pervert!" Jean said, reading his mind.
"Get out of m'head red." Remy said, blushing, "'Sides, how was Remy t'know?"
"What?" Scott asked.
"They thought we were..." Jean finished the rest of it telepathically and Scott glared at Remy. Remy closed the flap back up.
"Well, g'night y'two! By de way, y're watch next." He pointed out. Remy and Rouge went back to their own tent.
"Ah cant believe you actually thought they were doin' that!" Rogue said.
"Y' did to!" Remy countered.
"So, at least Ah didn't interrupt them!" Rogue said, blushing.
Later that night was yet another person's watch. Tabitha and Kurt's.
'Scrape scrape' Tabitha heard.
"Did you hear that Blue?" She asked.
"Nope, hear vat?" Their was another scraping noise, and some soot fell down the chimney.
"Oh, zat." Kurt said.
"Its him! Its really him!" Tabitha said excitedly.
"Quick Tabby, vake everybody up! Quietly!" Kurt said, they started to wake all the teens up. They quickly went to their tents. They all opened their flaps and pretended to be asleep as Santa crept down the chimney.
"Damn Xavier, no powers aloud..." Magneto murmured as he crept down the chimney with a big bag. Luckily the teens couldn't hear him.
He finally touched down and crawled out, back first. "Geeze, Santa's got a fat ass, yo!" He heard someone whisper. He froze, Damn brats are awake! He thought. He quickly drug out the bag and emptied the wrapped presents.
Just as he was unloading the last one the lights went on and all the mutant teens were surrounding him. "Freeze Santa!" Scott called.
"Scott, this isnt a mission."
"Yea, just hand over the toys and no one gets hurt!" Freddy said. Magneto froze.
"Er, Ho-ho-ho... Merry Christmas?" He said.
"He doesn't sound very convincing to me." Pietro said.
"How dare you talk to me like that, So- I mean, Here are your presents, you've all been good boys and girls this year." Magneto said.
"I don't trust him!" Wanda said, Hexing the Santa.
Magneto flew back, and his fake beard and hat fell off. "Damn!"
"Now I know its not Santa! Santa would never cuss, yo!" Todd yelled.
"Get him!"John cried.
The mutants were about to jump on Magneto when they heard something else in the chimney and out came the real Santa!
"Santa! Yay your here! This big meanie was faking to be you and I'm glad your here!" Jubilee said.
"Yea!" The others cried, Magneto temporarily forgotten. Magneto creped to the other room where the other adults were.
"Who was the genius who came down as the second Santa?" He asked, but all the adults were their.
"Apparently, that's the real Santa!" Xavier said.
The real Santa began unpacking all the presents for the mutants. "Hey, yo, I got one question for you. Santa, are you a mutant? Because its not possible for one normal man to go all around the world in one night!" Todd asked. Santa smiled.
"Yes, Todd, I am. I have the ability to slow down time so that I can do this! Now, remember, no opening the presents until the adults wake up! Good night and Merry Christmas!" Santa called as he went back up the chimney.
"Bye Santa!" The teens called as they rushed to the window and watched as the reindeer flew away. They then crawled back into their tents and fell asleep, dreaming of sugar plums and fairy's...
The Next Morning (Christmas Day)
The next morning all the mutants were peacefully asleep... "WAKE UP ITS CHRISTMAS!!!" Jamie yelled.
They all woke up and rubbed their eyes. "I'll go get the Professor." Scott said, rushing off to get them.
"And I'll go get Ororo." Jean said, following.
The children looked at the presents and then dove in. The ones under the tree were mostly ones from friends and the adults. The ones from their boyfriends or girlfriends were secretly hidden in the person's choice, waiting for the perfect moment.
Soon all of those gifts had been opened, and the gift givers sufficiently thanked. Ororo and Logan went off to go 'cook breakfast'. The guys took this as a cue to take their girls somewhere special to present them with their own gift.
John led Amara off to the hallway, to the room he put his bag in, and got her a wrapped present. He came back out into the hall and gave it to her. Amara's eyes lit up, it was wrapped in rapping paper that had a fire print on it. She opened it, carefully at first, then, not being able to take the suspense, ripped the paper off. She revealed a box. The princess carefully opened the box to show a beautiful dress. Amara dropped the box as she lifted up the dress.
The dress started in yellow, but as it went down it changed to a fiery orange to a vibrant red. It also had sparkles so that whenever it moved it looked like it was a real fire. Amara's eyes widened. "God, John, its beautiful! Where did you get it?" She asked.
"Well, I was lookin' round the mall Christmas shopping, you wouldn't believe how many folks are in their! And I passed this store and it had that dress in the window and I said 'There! That's perfect for 'Mara. Now she'll truly be the Queen of fire!' And so I waltz into the store and say, 'I want that dress for 'Mara.' So a nice lady comes and helps me. It was kinda hard cuz I didn't know you size, but I think I got it." John rambled.
"I'll go try it on." Amara said, rushing to her room. She came out a few minutes later with a wrapped box for John and wearing her dress. She looked beautiful in it. "John, its gorgeous! Thank you!" she said, giving him a hug.
"You look great Amara!" John said.
"Here I got something for you..." She said, handing him the box.
Pietro led Kitty away from the kitchen, so that she wouldn't offer to help cook, and so that he could give her the present he got her. "Kitty-Kat, I got you something special!" He said, holding out a box wrapped with Christmas kitten wrapping paper.
Kitty took it carefully and unwrapped it to find a gift card to the mall with $100. "Great! Now I can, like, take you on a shopping spree with me!" She said happily. Then she handed him his present.
Pietro opened his and found a basketball game for Playstation 2. "Yes! Now I can truly prove to Evan that I am the better player!"
Remy led Rogue over to the foyer. "What d'ya want Swamp rat?" She asked curiously.
Remy took a present from his coat and handed it to her. It was a small square box wrapped in black and silver wrapping paper. Rogue raised an eyebrow and opened it to reveal a pair of black gothic cross earrings. She put them in. "Their beautiful." she said, although she was not to sure why he was giving her earrings.
Just as she finished putting in her earrings Remy swept her up into a hug and kissed her on the lips. Rouge was about to pull away when she noticed something, nothing was happening. When they pulled away it was a moment before she found her voice. "W...how?" she asked.
"Remy'll tell y'that over breakfast, 'e's starvin'!" Remy said, putting his arm around her and directing her to the kitchen. As they passed the coffee table she quickly opened the top drawer and pulled out her present for Remy. She hugged him and as she did silently and unnoticed put the present in one of his pockets, he would find it soon enough.
The two teenagers walked into the bustling kitchen where somehow Kitty had been able to help with breakfast...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
*sweatdrop* ^.^;;; hehe, I know its after Christmas but... yea... I'm really bad with deadlines... andwho I hope y'all liked it! Remember I'll never know if you did or didn't unless your review!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Professor Xavier watched as Logan and Scott stood on ladders, holding up a large banner that said 'Merry Christmas' and trying to get it straight and centered over the foyer. "A little more to the left, Scott." Professor said. Scott obliged and stretched out to his left a little more.
"Just a touch more, yes, a little more..." Remy said from behind the Professor. Scott leaned out farther and farther, on his tipi toes, then CRASH! He fell. Remy smothered his snickers and coughed to hide them.
"Yes, Remy, it was so nice of you, John and Piotr to come help us set up." Professor said, ignoring the fact that Scott had just fallen a few feet to the ground.
"No problem Professor, jus' helpin' out where Remy's needed." Remy winked at Rogue, who was moving a box of streamers.
"Well your not needed. Professor, did you see that, he made me fall over!" Scott whined.
"Scott, it was your fault for not moving the ladder more to the left like Ororo advised." Professor pointed out.
"Hey, I cant stand up here all day holding this by myself!" Logan called. Rogue quickly came over to help, but instead of the ladder, flew up and tied her side securely. The professor had told Rogue to try and gain control over her psyches and powers, and she was doing quite well.
Logan tied his side up and thanked Rogue. Then he took the ladders over to the Christmas tree and started putting on popcorn strings.
Kitty came in, closely followed by Lance and Pietro, who were trying to carry the large boom box that Kitty had gotten for Hanukkah from her parents since she wasn't going home for vacation. "Ok, guys, put it on the table over their... Like, be careful Pietro! Don't drop it, Lance!" She ordered. The guys put it on the table, panting heavily.
Wanda then came in with a handful of miscellaneous CD's. "Ok, I told everyone to give me their favorite CD so that we can play it. We have everything from Black Sabbath, Evanescence, O-Town, and Christina Agulera." She said, making faces at the last two.
"Like, great! Let me put them in!" Kitty said as she started putting the CD's inside her boom box. "Like, Lance, I hope this Limp Biscuit CD is edited!" Kitty said.
A group of cats followed Kitty around. One of them jumped on the table, sniffed the boom box, and laid on it to fall asleep. The smallest one was picked up by Kitty. "Hey Diamond! Are you being a good girl?" The cat meowed, as if saying 'when am I ever?'
Suddenly another cat came in, but this one was made of fire. Amara came in after it, followed by John. "John, its so cute!" Amara said as the cat rubbed against Amara's bare leg.
Piotr walked in quietly. "You wanted me, Professor?" he asked. Professor nodded.
"Yes, Poitr, I was wondering if you knew if Eric was coming?"
"And Sabertooth." Logan added with a growl.
"Magneto is coming, but Victor sends his regrets." Poitr said.
"Peter!" Jamie cried, running up and giving him a hug.
"Hello Jamie, and its Poitr." the metal giant corrected.
Jamie looked up at him innocently, "That's what I said, Peter." Poitr chuckled quietly.
"Poitr w'at is dat t'ing growing on your hip!? Oh, 's just de twerp." Remy concluded. Jamie stuck his young at the Cajun.
"Stupid Swamp Rat." Jamie said.
"Sewer Rat." Remy retorted. Tears welled up in Jamie's eyes.
"Wahhhh! Gambit called me names!" He cried. All the girls seemed to hear him immediately, and all rushed over to see what was wrong with the little boy. Even Wanda was concerned about the little twirp.
"What's wrong Jamie?" Jubilee asked.
"Who called you names?" Amara wanted to know, fire forming in her clutched hand.
"Want me to hurt him?" Tabitha asked.
"I could send him a nice hex bolt!" Wanda said a little over enthusiastically.
The boys gathered on the other side of the room. "Its not fair! That little idiot gets all the girls whenever he whines!" Bobby complained.
"Aww come on you guys, the Sheila's are just bein' nice, they'd do the same for any of us, see." John said. He walked over to them and tripped over some unseen object *cough*theair*cough* "OUCH! I just fell and hurt myself!" He cried, clutching his knee.
The girls paused, peered over at him, glared at him, and continued worrying over Jamie.
John walked back to the guys. "Alright, so maybe not." The others snickered.
Then all the metal things in the room started zooming around everywhere. Silverwear was flying around the room, and Logan was too. Everyone ignored it.
"So, who's up for Twister?" Pietro asked. He was back in a second, and spread the game out. They all started playing, Jamie as the spinner. Soon everyone was tangled up with eachother. Somehow, whenever Remy was tangled up with Rouge, one of them would be untangled by having to move away. Kitty had to duck under Pietro to put her right hand on Yellow.
"I love this game." Pietro said, winking at Kitty under him. she elbowed him in the gut. Pietro lost balance and fell down, but instead of taking Kitty with him, she phased through him.
Wanda and Lance were tangled in a very... interesting way (A/N: Interpret it as you wish.) Lance wiggled his eyebrows and made kissy faces at Wanda, who in turn growled at him and tried hard to hide her smile. Then a large bang was heard as Magneto threw the doors open and entered. No one took notice.
"OK, Tabitha, Right hand on blue." Jamie called, Tabitha moved her arm under her leg to reach the closest blue.
"Hellooo, evil bad guy here to trash your party!" Magneto said. No one payed him any attention.
"John, Left hand red." Jamie called. John moved under Amara.
"Hey 'Mara, I like it under here, so cozy." He smiled impishly at her. Amara rolled her eyes.
"WHY ISN'T ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE EVIL GUY IN THE FOYER!?" Magneto called.
Jamie finally looked up at Magneto who was fuming. "Oh, Eric, your here! Well, if you haven't noticed, no one's really afraid of you after you told us about Mr. Tiddywinkles." Jamie pointed out.
"Oh... OK... Can I play?" Magneto asked, looking at the teenagers playing Twister. Then he saw Lance flirting with his daughter... "Hey, rock-boy, get away from my daughter!" He cried.
Wanda and Lance looked up at him "...Right... And what are you going to do? Attack us with your stuffed teddy-bears?' Lance asked.
Magneto looked like he was about to explode when Charles came wheeling in. "Eric! How nice of you to join us!" He said, leading the Master of magnetism away from the teens.
Later after the teens had finished playing Twister they decided to dance for a while, or at least some of them.
"Please, Roguie, just one dance!" Remy pleaded.
"Ah'm not dancin' and lookin' lahke a fool with yah." She said again.
Jamie walked up to Rogue and whispered something in her ear. "Fahne Jamie, but only one." she said, letting Jamie lead her next to Kitty to dance. Remy nearly fell over.
"FOOD'S READY!" Logan roared throughout the mansion. The teens immediately stopped dancing, and rushed to the large Buffett table. After they gathered food they all went to sit by the tree and eat. Jamie, Bobby, Ray, Roberto and Sam started sorting the Christmas presents into piles according to person.
"We cant open our presents until tomorrow! Its only Christmas Eve!" Tabby said, appalled.
"Yea!" Freddy agreed, mouth fulled with food.
"Yo, lets stay up and catch Santa Clause!" Todd said excitedly.
The adults heard the news from the room over and sweat dropped. "Not to worry, I already got them presents from Santa, now who is going to pretend to be Santa... I cant be." Professor explained.
"I'm a woman, so that takes me out." Ororo said.
"Do I look like a Christsmasy kinda guy?" Logan asked.
"Stop looking at me like that! Just because I have white hair does -not- mean I'm a shoe in for Santa!" Magneto said. They continued staring at him. "Fine! What I do for these children..." he growled.
"Lets all have a steak out and catch him!" John said.
"Its a stake out not steak out." Amara corrected.
"Sounds fun, Ah'm game." Rogue said.

"Sinful! Mmmmm Absolutely sinful!" Jean agreed, moaning slightly in delight.
Remy stood up. "What the hell do you think your doing?" Rogue whispered at him.
"Remy can't let dem do dat, de'll get cought and in trouble!" He said.
Remy walked up to their tent and threw back the flap "Stop dat!" he cried, covering his eyes with one hand, and shaking his finger at them with the other.
"Stop what?" Jean and Scott asked innocently. Remy and Rogue looked to find them eating a chocolate cake...
"Oh... Um... N.nuthin" Remy stuttered.
"Whats wrong?-Oh! You pervert!" Jean said, reading his mind.
"Get out of m'head red." Remy said, blushing, "'Sides, how was Remy t'know?"
"What?" Scott asked.
"They thought we were..." Jean finished the rest of it telepathically and Scott glared at Remy. Remy closed the flap back up.
"Well, g'night y'two! By de way, y're watch next." He pointed out. Remy and Rouge went back to their own tent.
"Ah cant believe you actually thought they were doin' that!" Rogue said.
"Y' did to!" Remy countered.
"So, at least Ah didn't interrupt them!" Rogue said, blushing.
Later that night was yet another person's watch. Tabitha and Kurt's.
'Scrape scrape' Tabitha heard.
"Did you hear that Blue?" She asked.
"Nope, hear vat?" Their was another scraping noise, and some soot fell down the chimney.
"Oh, zat." Kurt said.
"Its him! Its really him!" Tabitha said excitedly.
"Quick Tabby, vake everybody up! Quietly!" Kurt said, they started to wake all the teens up. They quickly went to their tents. They all opened their flaps and pretended to be asleep as Santa crept down the chimney.
"Damn Xavier, no powers aloud..." Magneto murmured as he crept down the chimney with a big bag. Luckily the teens couldn't hear him.
He finally touched down and crawled out, back first. "Geeze, Santa's got a fat ass, yo!" He heard someone whisper. He froze, Damn brats are awake! He thought. He quickly drug out the bag and emptied the wrapped presents.
Just as he was unloading the last one the lights went on and all the mutant teens were surrounding him. "Freeze Santa!" Scott called.
"Scott, this isnt a mission."
"Yea, just hand over the toys and no one gets hurt!" Freddy said. Magneto froze.
"Er, Ho-ho-ho... Merry Christmas?" He said.
"He doesn't sound very convincing to me." Pietro said.
"How dare you talk to me like that, So- I mean, Here are your presents, you've all been good boys and girls this year." Magneto said.
"I don't trust him!" Wanda said, Hexing the Santa.
Magneto flew back, and his fake beard and hat fell off. "Damn!"
"Now I know its not Santa! Santa would never cuss, yo!" Todd yelled.
"Get him!"John cried.
The mutants were about to jump on Magneto when they heard something else in the chimney and out came the real Santa!
"Santa! Yay your here! This big meanie was faking to be you and I'm glad your here!" Jubilee said.
"Yea!" The others cried, Magneto temporarily forgotten. Magneto creped to the other room where the other adults were.
"Who was the genius who came down as the second Santa?" He asked, but all the adults were their.
"Apparently, that's the real Santa!" Xavier said.
The real Santa began unpacking all the presents for the mutants. "Hey, yo, I got one question for you. Santa, are you a mutant? Because its not possible for one normal man to go all around the world in one night!" Todd asked. Santa smiled.
"Yes, Todd, I am. I have the ability to slow down time so that I can do this! Now, remember, no opening the presents until the adults wake up! Good night and Merry Christmas!" Santa called as he went back up the chimney.
"Bye Santa!" The teens called as they rushed to the window and watched as the reindeer flew away. They then crawled back into their tents and fell asleep, dreaming of sugar plums and fairy's...
The Next Morning (Christmas Day)
The next morning all the mutants were peacefully asleep... "WAKE UP ITS CHRISTMAS!!!" Jamie yelled.
They all woke up and rubbed their eyes. "I'll go get the Professor." Scott said, rushing off to get them.
"And I'll go get Ororo." Jean said, following.
The children looked at the presents and then dove in. The ones under the tree were mostly ones from friends and the adults. The ones from their boyfriends or girlfriends were secretly hidden in the person's choice, waiting for the perfect moment.
Soon all of those gifts had been opened, and the gift givers sufficiently thanked. Ororo and Logan went off to go 'cook breakfast'. The guys took this as a cue to take their girls somewhere special to present them with their own gift.
John led Amara off to the hallway, to the room he put his bag in, and got her a wrapped present. He came back out into the hall and gave it to her. Amara's eyes lit up, it was wrapped in rapping paper that had a fire print on it. She opened it, carefully at first, then, not being able to take the suspense, ripped the paper off. She revealed a box. The princess carefully opened the box to show a beautiful dress. Amara dropped the box as she lifted up the dress.
The dress started in yellow, but as it went down it changed to a fiery orange to a vibrant red. It also had sparkles so that whenever it moved it looked like it was a real fire. Amara's eyes widened. "God, John, its beautiful! Where did you get it?" She asked.
"Well, I was lookin' round the mall Christmas shopping, you wouldn't believe how many folks are in their! And I passed this store and it had that dress in the window and I said 'There! That's perfect for 'Mara. Now she'll truly be the Queen of fire!' And so I waltz into the store and say, 'I want that dress for 'Mara.' So a nice lady comes and helps me. It was kinda hard cuz I didn't know you size, but I think I got it." John rambled.
"I'll go try it on." Amara said, rushing to her room. She came out a few minutes later with a wrapped box for John and wearing her dress. She looked beautiful in it. "John, its gorgeous! Thank you!" she said, giving him a hug.
"You look great Amara!" John said.
"Here I got something for you..." She said, handing him the box.
Pietro led Kitty away from the kitchen, so that she wouldn't offer to help cook, and so that he could give her the present he got her. "Kitty-Kat, I got you something special!" He said, holding out a box wrapped with Christmas kitten wrapping paper.
Kitty took it carefully and unwrapped it to find a gift card to the mall with $100. "Great! Now I can, like, take you on a shopping spree with me!" She said happily. Then she handed him his present.
Pietro opened his and found a basketball game for Playstation 2. "Yes! Now I can truly prove to Evan that I am the better player!"
Remy led Rogue over to the foyer. "What d'ya want Swamp rat?" She asked curiously.
Remy took a present from his coat and handed it to her. It was a small square box wrapped in black and silver wrapping paper. Rogue raised an eyebrow and opened it to reveal a pair of black gothic cross earrings. She put them in. "Their beautiful." she said, although she was not to sure why he was giving her earrings.
Just as she finished putting in her earrings Remy swept her up into a hug and kissed her on the lips. Rouge was about to pull away when she noticed something, nothing was happening. When they pulled away it was a moment before she found her voice. "W...how?" she asked.
"Remy'll tell y'that over breakfast, 'e's starvin'!" Remy said, putting his arm around her and directing her to the kitchen. As they passed the coffee table she quickly opened the top drawer and pulled out her present for Remy. She hugged him and as she did silently and unnoticed put the present in one of his pockets, he would find it soon enough.
The two teenagers walked into the bustling kitchen where somehow Kitty had been able to help with breakfast...
