Note: This is going to be EXTREMELY short. I just thought ya'll should know a little bit more of what occurred that year, namely at the New Year's dance. ^_^ Nothing dirty… But, this is the last chapter, cause this fic has served it's purpose in leading me to it's sequel, When Christmas Comes Around. For those who want to flame me about leading you on or what not, feel free. I've had an awful week and need a good laugh. For those of you who have reviewed for me, ADORATION GALORE!! On to the epilogue.
There were quite a few older people at the Professor's dance, though the majority were students. Those who were older were actually old students of Xavier's though, so they completely understood the rambunctious atmosphere that permeated the ball room. {Yes, I'm giving the Institute a ball room} The music hazed through the room, moving from hip hop to rock to pop to classical with slow songs drizzled throughout for those who had someone to dance with. After the first two slow song, the DJ had noticed how relaxed everyone became, and so began to play them slightly more frequently.
~When Jean and Kitty had gone shopping, they had forced Rogue to come as well while Jubilee had tagged along. All but Kitty had yet to find that perfect dress with which to catch that certain someone's eye, though a few of them had no need (think Rogue). As they had gone through dress after dress, gossip had been shared as had Jubilee's slight crush that was developing on Bobby. {I know, I know, but I wanted Bobby to actually get someone, and Jean has two someone's pining after her somewhat…} As well as Jean's noticing of Storm's nephew whose chocolate eyes shone quite nicely for her, which had come out. After an afternoon of finding dresses for the three single girls, all were exhausted though happy. Jean had ended up buying a medium-length dress of light bluethat showed her form rather nicely. Jubilee's dress of soft yellow flowed to her toes, a flaring dress that showed an old-school style. Lastly, they had found Rogue's, a straight dress of emerald green that had a high back and a low, low neck. The x-boys would never know what hit 'em.~
Just as the ball was ending, Kitty leaned against Kurt's shoulder and smiled contentedly. Looking over, she noticed all the others doing the same thing. Hell, Jean had even managed to get away from Scott and dance with Evan! And there was Jubilee dancing close with Bobby. Rogue and Remy were nowhere to be seen, though that wasn't too different from every other day. Somehow, Kitty knew that life was perfect in that moment as she danced in her elf's arms, safe from the world, safe from herself as well.
Abundant apologies for those of you who wanted more, but I just have this feeling that this is where this part of the story ends. Hope you enjoyed. ^_^
