Family Night, Without the Family
by Catnip
The day started like any other
day at the institute. It was a warm Friday in May, one week before school was
out. Everyone was busy with something. Studying for finals, finishing up
projects, and for Kitty this was torture. She had four more finals before
grades went in and also a history report due. Then there was a the matter of
the upcomeing summer. She had so many ideas of things to do. She made a list of
all the things that she planned to do. Still she tried to contain that
excitement down so that she could finish out this last week or at least this
weekend. Still stress releife was not on Kitty's side that day. Even before
breakfast she had little annoyances pop up in front of her. Only this annoyance
certainly wasn't little, it was furry and blue.
Kurt, despite his problem with
his appreance, had always had a witty sense of humor. He just wanted to rub off on Kitty a bit, but according to Jean,
Scott, Rogue, and Evan he was trying to impress her. Kitty didn't mind it most
of the time. Useally Kurt would just pop under, over, beside, in front and
behind her, and either scare or startle her with a joke of some sort. Kitty was
used to it, and detected that he might be showing off for a reason other than witty
humor. Whatever Kurt had been doing to impress her, was working. Kitty couldn't
help but develope a little crush on the blue person who she had nick named
Fuzzy Little Elf.
That particular day started like
any other. The young X-Men got up, showered, and dressed then headed down for
breakfast. Professor Xaivier had told all his students when they had arrived
that his institute should run like a family. So like many fathers or the
primaray head of a family Professor Xaivier had istituded rules, regulations
etc. One particular rule that the students disliked was nicknamed "Family
Night". One night a week the students, as well as the Professor ,Logan and
Ororo, would sit down and either have a nice conversation or watch a movie or
something. Professor Xiavier instituted it because he thought that it would
bring them closer together, but he didn't know that it drove all his students
mad, especially now because family night just happened to fall on tonight. At
breakfast the professor made an attempt to remind all the students about it but
all he got in return was a pile of graons moanes and mumbles as they rushed out
the door to Scott's car.
The morning had gone by slower
than it took to digest Evan's World Famous Macarroni Surprise. (theres really
no such thing as far as I know its just something I cooked up to build the
plot's description line) Lunch soon found its way into the day, and the student
took their places at their useuall picnic table.
"I'm sorry
but I really do not want to be part of
"Family Night" again. I'd rather suffer by being dragged to store
after store with Kitty." Evan said breaking the silince
"I resent
the comment about my shopping habits, but I can agree that enough is enough and
I really don't want to spend my Friday nights watching some dumb movie"
"Ja, and
zhis is Strorm's night to pick the movie and shes had her eyes on Sense and
Sesibility" Kurt said in his smooth German accent
"Though I
congradulate Emma Thompson on her famous scene, I cannot stand to hear Ororo
cry again." Jean said
"Well don't
worry I 've got a plan that will get us out of the house and not in
trouble." Scott said
"and how
exacly do you plan to do that ?'' Rogue asked
"Its rather
simple actually. All we do is before dinner we mysteriously disapper, and head
to a movie."
"I'll
reapeat myself. How exacly do you plan to pull that off?" Rogue asked
again
"Ok lemme
explain it like this. Say for example that I'm, the only one who sneaks out
tonight. If I did than it would be so easy for the professor to punish just me,
but if we all did it and participated as a whole than it would be a lot more
trouble for the professor to punish us all, and plus if we all use the same
excuse "Oh it was tonight? I must have forgotten" he really won't
find the time and the engery to punish all of us. Make sense?"
"Wow I must
be going crazy here, because for the past five minutes I thought I heard Scott
suggest that we sneak out and thats something only real teenagers would do, but
like we all know Scotts not like that so something is wrong" Evan said
"Thats very
funny, but I'm for real here and I really think that my plan is foul
proof." Scott said
"I'm up for
it" Kurt said
"I guess
I'll go to" Jean added
"Alright
count me in" Kitty said
'' sure"
Rogue said
'' I'm with you
all the way Scott" Evan finally said
"Ok then,
well right after dinner we get out of the house, and try to change the subject
if Professor X brings up the whole "Family Night" issue, just try to
play cool" he said
Everyone agreed.
Scott wrote down all the details on a peice of paper.
The day continued its slow pace
and entually found itself at the end of school. The rule Scott made was
"Be in or
around my car by 4:00pm or walk" There were no ifs ands or buts about
this, Scott always left promply at four to get home, and he always left the
mansion a 8:00am to get to school in the mornings. So like always Scott arrived
in the student parking lot at the designated time, and like useuall every one
was there chatting and talking about or over some event that ouccured during
the day. Then they just loaded up and headed for the mansion.
As they pulled into the
mansion's drive way Scott told them
"Ok you all
have to be in my car by 6 o clock or else your not comeing, got it?"
"Ditto"
they all replied.
Everyone spent
the next 2 hours doing home work or studying for various exams. At 5:55 Kitty
prepared to leave . She was excited because this was the first time she had
ever done something like this. She packed some money, makeup, and othe
feminearticles as well as a jacket into a back pack. Kitty finshed packing up
and carefully phased through her door. The hall was clear to Kitty's luck. She
ran quietly around the mansion until she reached the room over the garage. The
room was used as a personal training room. There were many of these throughout
the house. They were used by the students as areas where they could train and
practice different routines in private. Kitty care fully phased her head
through the floor so she could see into the garage. As she did she saw where
Scott's car was parked, then she carefully phased her body through the floor so
that she landed perefectly in the back seat of the car.
At the same time Kurt was proceeding to fill out his plan. He
casually made his way from his room to the kitchen. As soon as he entered the
kitchen his hopes were shattered. Logan was there. Standing at his useuall
place against the counter reading the Evening Post. Kurt took a deep breath and
made his way over the fridge and opened it. He peeked over the edge to see if
Logan was looking, he wasn't. Kurt closed the door but grabbed an apple before
he did so he wouldn't look suspitious. He then quickley moved over to the
pantry, he made sure Logan wasn't looking and to his luck he had left. Kurt
closed himself into the pantry and then BAMFED into the backseat of Scott's
car, just as Kitty phased through the floor.
"Ahh! Kurt I don't know how
you do it, but you always find new ways to freak me out!" Kitty exclaimed
"My
apologies Kitty, vut I zidn't mean any harm." he replied
"I know,
still I think my nervous system has gotten weaker from being near you."
she said
"Oh Kitty
you know you loooove me." he said playfully tickleing her sides
"Kurt, ha
ha, stop that, ha ha, now ha ha, stop stop stop." she said thinking she
was going to die with laugher.
"Ok I'll
stop, if some body hears us we might give the whole thing away." he said
"Oh yeah
your right, lets just stay down low and uh keep quiet." she replied
At that moment
Rogue came through the back door followed by Jean and a could of smoke.
"Vhat vas
zhat" Kurt asked
"You know
chemistry's not so boreing once you try it at home." Rogue said
"We just
mixed up some stuff in the chem lab and used it to cover our tracks." Jean
replied
"Well come
on get in the car Scott's gonna be here soon" Kitty said
Jean took her
place in the passager seat, while Rogue sat next to Kurt in the back. As soon as that happened Scott and Evan fell
onto the concrete ground, moaning and groaning.
"I swear I
will never do that agian" Scott said
"See I told
you that we needed Jean to levetate us down!" Evan shouted
"Evan be
quiet do you want Ororo, Logan or the Professor to hear us" Jean said
"Come on
guys lets slpit" Scott said hopping into the drivers seat and starting the
car. He then hit the gas and got out of the driveway as fast as the law would
let him, if not faster.
"So what are we gonna
see?" Rogue asked half way towards the theater
"I sorta
wanted to see Moulin Rouge" Jean said
"I'm up for
that." Rogue said
" I'm sorta
in the mood for a Knight's Tale, I would have seen it when it first came out
but I was grounded" Kitty said
"Oh god,
Heath Ledger is a jerk! I heard him on the radio and did not answer any
personal questions, he just said that he was there to promote his movie. That
guys is a creep." Evan said letting out his lost engergy.
"Oh come on
zit can't be zhat bad, I'll go with Kitty and see it." Kurt said, for a
moment he felt like he was trying to hard to get Kitty's attention, but then
again it seemed like a movie worth seeing.
"What about
you Scott?" Evan asked turning his attention to the boy next to him
"Well uh I
dunno yet, I uh was sorta hopeing to see this movie but I don't really know if
yall are up for it" he said nervously
"What movie
is that?" Jean asked
"Uh uh, its
really not that important." he insited
"No really
Scott tell us" Rogue said tauntingly
"Like I
said its NOT IMPORTANT!" he shouted
"Ok, like
lighten up" Kitty said
"Whatever"
he scouled
After about 10
minkutes of silence Scott pulled into the theatere's large parking lot
"I zhink
zhat since ve all vant to see different movies zhat ve should all meet in zhe
arcade around nine, I zhink all zhe movies vill be over by zhen.'' Kurt said
"That
sounds good and after that we can do something else." Kitty said
"Ok so lets
go" Scott said
They all walked
toward the ticket booth, got thier tickets, went inside, got some snacks, then
they each headed off to which ever movie they were going to see.
Evan had decided to see Shrek.
Sure he thought it was a bit young for him, but he really didn't see any thing
wrong with checking it out. He took his bag of popcorn and his soda and went to
the theater. As he entered he saw someone that he reconized
'Scott' he said
to himself Evan took a seat far in the back.
"I guess he
was emmbarassed about or something'' Evan thought "Well he should be"
Evan mentally let out an evil laugh.
Kurt, wasn't the type of guy
anyone would call hopelessly romantic, infact he was very much an amacher in
the art of romance as some call it, and to his misfortune, this night proved
it. At first he was doing ok, he and Kitty got the tickets and their food, but
the trouble started when they got to the door of the theater. Kurt tried to
open it for Kitty and it accidenly hit her in the face. That passed in a few
minutes, but his clumsiness started up again as they took their seats. While
Kurt was getting comfortable in his seat he droped his wallet on the floor he
got up to find it and ended up tripping over Kitty's feet.
"Oh Kurt,
I'm so sorry are you ok?" she asked
Kurt popped up
his head and simply said (he he rymes)
"Ja,
thanks, but I'm going to sit right here, in my seat for zhe rest of zhe movie
and try not to move."
"You do
that." she said
The movie
started a few minutes later. Kurt kept his cool during most of the movie,
occationally spilling some popcorn or some of his soda onto himself otherwise
he was pretty caught up in the plot of the movie. By the time the movie was
over Kurt's shirt was covered in butter or soda stains
"Kurt oh
god, like your a mess." Kitty said in her giggly attitude.
"Ja, well
thanks" he replied sacaticly
"Hey this
was fun you know, I have never know another personwho was entertaining during a
movie."
"Really,
vell zhen maybe ve should go see a movie
again.....sometime.......together."
"Like a
date?" she asked calmly
"Well,
yeah, maybe, if you vant to call it zhat." Kurt said rubbing the back of
his neck nervously
"Well sure
that sounds nice." Kitty said
"It does?
oh thank God" he said enthusiasticly
"Kurt, no
offence but your acting like, weird."
"I'm sorry,
the truth is Kitty, that I like you, a lot. Seriously I can't help it your
sweet, funny, not to mention pretty, and I just feel so comforatable being near
you, its like I can share anything with you." he said
"Wow Kurt,
thanks. I mean now it makes it a bit easiaer for me to say that I uh sorta feel
the same way towards you Kurt. I really like you to.''
"Cool, this
works out pretty easy." he said
Kitty laughed
again. Ten seconds of silence passed before Kitty leaned forward and softly
kissed Kurt on the cheek.
"Oh like,
wow your turning purple" she giggled
"Oh zhats
nothing you should see me vhen I'm sea sick."
Kitty statred
laughing again, then Kurt took her hand and they met up with the others at the
arcade.
"Hey guys
how was the movie?" Scott asked
"Uh great,
zit vas very um interesting, I guess" Kurt said
"Oh what do
you mean "intresting" like it was great. Heath Leader is sooo
cute." Kitty said
''Oh more cute
zhan zhe 'Fuzzy Blue Wonder' ?"
" Oh don't
be silly, nothing is cuter than you" she said
Scott then
coughed rather loudly for a few seconds, until he had every one's attention
"So Scott,
how was Shriek?" Evan asked dryly
Scott narrowed
his eyes to the best of his abilities, and said to Evan
"I dunno,
you saw it why don't you tell me."
'' Man you saw
Shriek, how vas it?" Kurt asked
"Dude that
was so funny, there is this one part when this bird explodes because its
singing and then the princess fries its eggs, that was unpredictable." he
said
"Oh and
remeber when the dragon kisses his ass, now that was funny." Scott said
"Oh so you
did see it Scott" Evan slyly
"Oh shut
your trap you are the most immature person I have met."
"I'm
immature, we both saw the same movie so you must be immature to" he said
"Any one
besides Evan want a ride home?" Scott asked
"HEY"
As Scotts car pulled up into the
mansion's driveway he rimded everyone
"Ok guys
remember just play innocent"
The students
entered the mansions front door to find Professor X, sitting in his wheel chair
and Ororo, and Logan standing on either side of him.
"Where have
you all been?" Prof asked
"Oh we just
went to catch a couple movies, you know since we hadn't planned to do anything
tonight." Scott said
"Oh really,
so this was decided at last minute?" he asked
"Yeah"
Then Professor X
held up the peice of paper that Scott had written the plan on.
"I found
this in your room when you all never showed up into the Rec Room" Ororo
said
"busted"
Kurt mumbled under his breath
