The car skidded around the corner of the school, gaining even more speed as it turned onto the straight stretch of the road. As it drove past the schoolgate, something came flying out of the car's window and hit the pavement, breaking. Unnoticed, two small bugs jumped out from the shattered jar. They were both pink, with strangely heart-shaped caraphases...

Chapter one - Crazy
******************
- Yes! The veekend is here!
Kurt jumped with joy, almost landing in the heap of shattered glass
on the pavement.
- Watch it, Kurt! Scott warned him. - Someone's broken a bottle or
something.
Kitty bent down and examined the little heap.
- That's no bottle. It looks like some kind of, like, lab instrument
or something.
She bent even closer, and then jerked back.
- Ow! I cut myself!
- Curiosity killed the cat! Kurt replied cheerfully.
She glared at him.
- Oh, shut up!
Suddenly everything turned a shade of pink, and a warm shudder went
through her. She blinked in bevilderment, then squeezed her eyes shut.
When she opened them again, everything looked normal.
- Are you all right? Jean asked.
- Sure, I'm fine.
- Vat a relief! Kurt smiled at her. - For a moment, I thought I had
given you a mortal insult.
But Kitty didn't reply, she just stared thoughtfully at him. Why hadn't
she ever noticed how pretty his smile was?
One of the pink bugs slowly climbed up Kitty's arm...
* * * * *
By the time Scott's car had reached the Mansion, Kurt had started to
worry. Kitty hadn't said a word on the trip, just stared at him. It was
really starting to freak him
out...
- Are you OK? he asked her as they walked up the stairs to their rooms.
She looked at him, her eyes slightly out of focus.
- Mmmmm... she answered.
- No, really, Keety! I'm getting vorried!
Then she smiled, a big, empty smile that scared the hell out of him.
- You're worried about me? Oh, Kurt - I love you!!
And before he could react, she threw her arms around his neck and kissed
him! Kurt froze, then started to struggle madly. Rogue, who happened to
be walking by,
stopped and just stared at them for a while before she quickly ran
to tell the others, giggling loudly.
At last Kitty had to come up for air, and Kurt seized the chance.
- Keety, what are you doing?
- Kissing you! Don't you like it? she asked, pouting.
- Vell... Yes, but I thought you... I mean... This isn't like you at
all! Don't you think ve should...
- You don't want me to kiss you?
- No, I didn't say...
She looked at him in horror.
- You don't love me!
Her scream ended in a sob, and she phased through the floor - but not
before she'd slapped him. Kurt was left by himself, trying to figure out
what had just happened. It
didn't exactly help when he felt a sharp pain on his neck.
- Ow! Now even the bugs hate me...
Just then Scott came into the hall.
- What is going on here? he asked.
- Don't ask me, Kurt replied, then shook his head as his vision suddenly
turned pink.
- What happened?
- Oh, nothing special, he answered, smiling seducively at Scott.
The bug jumped, and landed on Scott's left leg...
* * * * *
Something wasn't right, Scott thought. First Rogue came running into
the TV-room, telling everyone that she'd seen Kitty and Kurt kissing in
the hallway. And now Kurt was smiling strangely at him, batting his eyelids
and slowly inching closer.
- You know, he said, even his voice sounding strange. - I've never
noticed how big your muscles have become lately. All those vorkout sessions
in the Danger Room have really improved you.
- Um, well...
- No, really. They've grown. See?
And before Scott could stop him, Kurt slid his hand up Scott's arm
and squeezed his biceps. Quickly, Scott batted his hand away.
- Stop that! Have you gone crazy?
- Yes, Kurt replied, his smile even wider. - Crazy for loving you...
Then he started to sing!
Scott fled.
- The professor, I've got to talk to the professor...
He burst into the professors office without stopping to knock, closing
the door firmly behind himself. Professor Xavier looked up, startled.
- What on Earth is going on, Scott?
- They're... He's... It's... Everyone's going nuts out there!
First Kitty's kissing Kurt, then Kurt's coming on to me...
- What? the professor asked, looking as if Scott had just fell through
the roof, not come bursting through the door.
- Yes, it's true! And now... Ow!
- What happened?
- I think something bit me.
Scott blinked. For a moment his normally red-coloured vision seemed
to go pink, but it disappeared so fast that he didn't really think about
it. He shook his head, getting another worried look from the professor.
- Are you all right?
- Sure, he said, looking closely at the professor. Why hadn't he ever
noticed how sexy he was?
* * * * *
Professor Xavier stared at Scott with a worried expression. Kurt coming
on to Scott? He'd never got the impression that Kurt was gay, but then
the professor didn't pry about such things. Scott, the poor boy, was standing
in the middle of the room, looking at him in a very strange way.
- Why don't you sit down? he offered.
- Thank you, professor! Scott said enthusiasticly and sat down - on
the professor's lap.
- That wasn't... exactly what I meant, Scott.
- But it's so cozy here! Scott replied, snuggling closer to the professor's
face.
Thank God I'm paralyzed from the waist! The thought formed in
his mind before he could react, and the professor was shocked as he found
out what he was thinking. He got even more shocked when he realised that
he ment it!
- I don't think you should be doing this.
- But I want to be with you! Did you know how attractive a bald man
can be?
This was quickly getting out of hand! To prevent things from getting
any further, Xavier probed into Scott's mind. What he saw there made him
push Scott of his lap - hard! One thought swallowed up all the others,
turning Scott's brain into pink mush.
- I want the professor! I want to kiss him, touch him, sleep with
him...
Xavier broke the contact with a shudder, and touched one of the buttons
on his chair.
- What is it, professor? Ororo's woice asked.
- You've got to come to my office! Hurry!
- What's wrong?
- Just hurry! he yelled, his woice rising a notch as Scott started
trying to worm is way back up into his lap.
As Rogue came walking down the corridor, she heard voices yelling from
the professor's office. She stopped, puzzled. The professor never yelled
at anyone, did he?
- Get off, Scott!
- But professor...
- Totally out of the question! I'm not letting you kiss me!
- Just a little kiss?
- NO!
What tha hell is going on in this house? Rogue wondered, shaken
to her very soul by what she'd just heard. What came next was just as bad.
- Come on, I know you want me!
- Move your hands, Scott! ...no, not there!
- Aaawww... please!
- Get away from me you little...
The next word she heard was so vile that Rogue covered her ears with
her hands, wincing. Then, without any warning, Scott was coming out the
door, being moved by a strong force.
- ...and don't stop walking until you reach town! the professor told
him, obviously using his power to remove Scott as far away as possible.
As Scott started walking down the stars and the door slid shut, she heard
a slapping sound and a blistering curse coming from the office.
- Damn insect!
* * * * *
A few minutes later Storm came hurrying up the stairs, panting. She'd
been in the danger room when the professor called her and when she heard
his panicked message she hadn't bothered waiting for the elevator but had
ran all the way instead.
- Rogue! she called as she spotted the young girl. - What is happening
here?
- Ah don't know, Storm, Rogue answered. - Ah heard shouting from the
professor's office, and then Scott came out, but not by his own will.
- You mean Xavier controlled him?
- Yes, but if you've heard what ah just heard, you'd understand why.
Ah'm not sure if ya should go in there right now.
- Nonsense! The professor sounded as if he needed my help, and he's
going to get it!
- If that's what ya want, Rogue said, shrugging. Then she went to find
Jean.
Storm went into Xavier's office.
She wasn't in there for very long. A feminine scream sounded from the
room, followed by the sound of a slap and the roar of thunder from the
clear sky outside. Then the door was hurled up, and a furious Storm stormed
out (A/N: Sorry about that one...), yelling at the top of her lungs:
- I thought you were my friend! I thought I knew you! Never had I imagined
that you would be such a... a... pervert!!
- Storm, darling... the professor pleaded.
- I won't hear another word! she snarled. She gestured, and a little
raincloud formed above the professor's head. The cloud then emitted a tiny
flash of lightening, which hit the professor right on his head.
- Ow!
Thunder rolled again, coming from the little cloud this time.
- The gall! Storm continued, still shouting at the top of her lungs.
- To actually touch my breast! And then suggesting... something
so vile that I can't even say it! I'm through with you, professor!
Then she slammed the door and walked away, cursing.
- Storm? Ouch! Won't you take your ...Ow!... raincloud with you?
The bug snuggled deeper into her hair...
* * * * *
The Mansion was in a state of total caos. As Storm came down the stairs
Kitty phased through one of the walls, looking around.
- Kurt! she shouted. - Where are you, my love?
When she didn't get any answer, she turned and walked back the way
she had come. Storm shook her head in puzzlement, then jerked as something
bit her.
- What the...
For a moment everything around her turned pink, and she spun around,
groping after the something to hold on to.
BAMF!
Kurt suddenly appeared in front of her, wild-eyed and frantic. Grateful,
Storm grabbed his arm.
- Is Keety here? he asked.
- She just left, Storm answered, looking closely at the blue boy. He
seemed... different, somehow.
- Good. What about Scott? Do you know vere he is? I have to
find him!
- Don't worry, she reassured him, thinking fast. - I know where he
is, you can just come with me. Let's hurry!
Because I can't wait having you for myself...
