Chapter 1: Well, there goes a happy weekend..
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ah, Friday morning. That wonderful time of week when young teenagers look forward to only having 1 day of school left. Kurt, Scott, Jean, and Logan were all in the kitchen. Logan was reading his newspaper in a corner- as usual not talking to anyone. Scott and Jean were chatting over a bowl of Frosted Flakes, and Kurt was peacefully reading some weekday comics while inhaling his triple chocolate mocha sugar frosted cafe frothe cuppichino Italian cocoa coffee.

"Jean, he's drinking that triple-chocolate..whatever thing again." Jean and Scott were eyeing the fuzzy elf warily- after all, no one could forget what had happened last week when he got a buzz offa his new favorite drink.
"Um, Kurt-"
"What-would-you-like-Jean-after-all-you-are-speaking-to-me-at-this-moment-in-time-you-know-what-this-stuff-is-great-to-wake-up-to-in-the-mornings-you-know-wow-I-feel-so-giddy-right-now-I-think-I-should-go-organize-the-clothes-in-everyone's-rooms-what-do-you-think-of-that-yeah-that-sounds-like-a-good-idea-if-I-do-say-so-myself-"
Kurt continued to babble on like this for several minutes.

"Jean, I'd hate to see Pietro on that stuff."
-----------------------------
After much coaxing, and a little help with Logan's claws, they were able to pry the cup from Kurt. Jean was now heading upstairs to try and wake up the others.
*That really wasn't as hard as last time. Although he did cry for 5 min-* Jean's thoughts were shattered by the sudden scream coming from 3 doors down. (AN: no pun intended. -_-)
"KUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!" Kitty ran in a bee line- literally- to the kitchen. "I am going to kick your sorry fuzzy blue butt!"

The gang looked up from their business to see her. Dripping wet, covered in some sort of watery oatmeal mix, with clenched fists, Kitty stood gasping for breath at Kurt. She took a raspy breath between words.
"You. Are. An. Ass."
"Hey guys, didja hear that? She vants to touch my fuzzy butt- that is, with her foot. Kitty, how exactly is it that you know it is fuzzy?"
She blushed profusely. "KURT! WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS?!"
"I needed a couple of bucks. That new CD is out."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!"

At that moment, the Professor casually rolled in and froze at the scene. "Erm. Kitty, what exactly are you covered in?"

"UGH!"
Kurt, content that his joke had gone on this long, got up to talk to Kitty. "Don't worry, I didn't do it for the CD." He flashed a smile (or rather a snicker) as he handed her a small towel. "What's an innocent little prank here or there?"
-------------------
"Still not talking to you, huh?" Evan smirked at Kurt during lunch that day. Kitty was, to say the least, a little pissed at him. She had missed the first hour of school cleaning herself off.
"Yeah. And the Professor grounded me until the end of the school year. Is that even legal? I say there should be some law against punishing kids that aren't your own children."
"Hey, what you did was kind of mean.."
"And this coming from the guy who paid me for it..hey!" Kitty shoved past Kurt in the table, nearly hitting his watch.
"'Hey' yourself! Kurt Wagner, I am n-e-v-e-r speaking to you again! And when we get back from school, you better wash my bed, you fuzzy freak!" She then promptly sat next to Scott and turned her back to him. Evan simply snickered at Kurt's look of utter confusion.
"Hell hath no wrath,"
"Like a woman's fury." The elf finished.

Meanwhile, The Brotherhood were planning their own prank. Ever since Mystique had disappeared, they were able to be free from running little 'errands' all the time.
"Hey guys, whaddya say we get that little squirrel a vacation? I hear he could use one right about now.." Avalanche pointed to the table where Kitty sat yelling at Kurt with him making an honest attempt to yell back.
"I almost feel sorry for the poor guy- man, how could you like that prissy little valley girl?" Toad was being his usual straight-forward self.
"I do NOT like her! Now shut up and listen! Toad, we need you to follow him on Saturday and get him off on his own. Then, Pietro and I can shove him in a car and-"

"And don't even think of coming in my room again! If you even take one step in there, I will kick you so hard you will-"
"Oh yeah, how exactly are you going to do that?" Kurt obviously forgot that they were sitting directly across from one another. Kitty simply shot her foot up, football-karate style, in Kurt's direction.

Kurt made a little whine before falling back and curling in a ball. All the other guys cringed at the pitiful sight.
Scott cocked an eyebrow at him lying limp on the concrete. "Never thought I'd ever see the guy cry."
-----------------------------
Kurt had finished washing Kitty's covers, and now sat on the couch with a pack of ice on his..well, we get the picture.
"20 bucks must be worth this somehow." He got bored with the show on tv and weakly limped to the kitchen. Scott was already in there working on some History homework. He glanced up to see Kurt peeking in.
"Is she in there?" He whispered. When Scott shook his head, he gingerly entered the room.
"You should have known better."
"Hey, you have no idea how much this hurts!"
"Yeah, you're right. In order for me to understand that sort of pain, I'd have to act like a jerk too." Kurt scowled while looking for snacks in the fridge. "You really should apologize."
"I've said that I'm sorry at least a hundred times today! Why is everyone against me now? Evan was in on it too.."
"Yeah, but he's younger."
"BY 7 MONTHS!"
"Still. More than half a year." Kurt was getting no where here.
"Fine. I'll go try again. But if she kicks me, you're going to be kissing some roof when I port you up there."
"Not unless I blast you through 4 walls first."
"I hope you like sleeping outside tonight!" Scott, as tight up as he was, could still take a joke or two. Perhaps that's why they were such good friends. Kitty, on the other hand..
----------------------------
:knock knock:
"Kurt, if that's you, I hope you haven't forgotten that I'm never talking to you again." Kitty was relaxed on her bed reading a book.
"I wanted to come and apologize." She sighed, but didn't answer. Instead, Kurt let himself in by popping onto her bed.
"Come on, you can't be mad at me forever?"
"No, not forever. Just for about 60 years until I die."
Kurt was taken aback by her sudden change in attitude. She normally didn't mind his occasional pranks..
"Now, if you would please get the heck out of my room.."
"Don'tkickdon'tkick!" He huddled back into the corner, mocking a horror movie scene. As much as she hated it, Kitty couldn't help but smile at his antics.
"Kurt, I just don't know what to do with you. Just go away for now, ok?"
"Kitty- I'm.. really sorry. I didn't know you'd take it so seriously!"
"You made me miss an hour of school! That's a tardy, you know what my parents would do?!"
"But the Professor excused you."
"Either way, I missed my first class- math! You know how Mrs. Mulligan is when you miss even one class unless you're sick?" She was really worked up about missing school. "I mean, maybe if you could have waited until tomorrow- when I didn't have a freaking math project due- then maybe it would have been different." Now he was starting to understand-
"Now, since she thinks I just came to school late for the heck of it, the highest grade I can get on my 'late' project is a 70!" To Kitty, a 'C' is like getting an 'F'. There's just nothing worse than it.

He smiled, realizing now why she was so mad. "Kitty, one 'C' isn't going to kill your life. I'm sure the Professor will talk to her and fix it anyway!"
"Kurt, I'm not like you! I care about what grades I get in school. I have a great family that wants me to do well. Just go."

*Ok, WHOA. She thinks my family doesn't care about me? She thinks that I don't care about school?!*

They both sat silent for a second before he exploded.
"Just because my family can't live here in the states, you think they don't care about me?! They call me every chance they get to see how I'm doing! Kitty, it's hard enough having my parents thousands of miles away for months at a time without you telling me that they don't care about me! So, you know what? I'm NOT sorry. My only word is-"
BAMF! He ported away, leaving only the slight smell of brimstone.
-------------------------
Chapter 2 will come soon. Please read and review! I know this has nothing to do with the summary yet, but this is only the beginning of what I hope to be a very long story. ;)
