Chapter 2- Let the Games Begin!
Kurt awoke with the familiar plastic of the N'64 controllers rubbing against his hands. He gave a groggy yawn when suddenly memories of the last night hit him like a train. He had beaten Ganondorf...Ganon, the hardest boss of the game. Last night. The. Game. Was. Over. "YES! JA, MESS WITH THE BEST AND YOU..." He threw the controller and started dancing, getting caught up in his twisted sheets and falling back onto the bed, laughing. "...DIE LIKE THE REST!" He lay looking at the ceiling for a minute, going over his wonderful Zelda experience. It was the perfect game in every way for him. Full of action and a light peppering of roguish romance, conflicted heroes to really bad bad guys, and the hero of the game himself had pointy ears. Kurt's smiled disappeared as he thought of the game which he had enjoyed over the three months it had taken him to beat it. Then it really hit him. The game was over. No more Zelda... Before he had time to mull over this painful thought his door burst open, revealing a indifferent Logan. "Professor wants us in the Danger Room, elf." Kurt reached for his image projector, groaning at the prospect of another early morning training session. "You don't need it, squirrel. Just follow me." Logan stopped in the middle of the door frame. "And bring that game."
Logan and Kurt entered the training room's control room, the latter looking totally bewildered with a Zelda cartridge gripped in his hand. No one was there yet except for a *very* smug looking professor, templing his fingers in that aggravating way. "Kurt...How are you doing this morning? Would you please hand me that game?" Kurt gulped and reluctantly handed the professor the cartridge, wondering what he had done wrong... "Um, professor..." Xavier held up his hand and passed him a piece of paper, his smugness spreading out in little mental waves. Kurt gaped at the paper, reading it once and reading it again. "But...but how...and...Oh!" The professor slipped the cartridge into a little slot, motioning for Kurt to watch. He nimbly typed a few commands into a keyboard and sat back, templing his fingers patiently. Kurt gawked, waiting for *something* to happen. As if the room read his thoughts, a scenery flashed before his eyes...one he knew all too well...it was too good to be true. "Kokiri Forest...." Kurt's mouth dropped, his eyes widening. "Professor..." The professor smiled and started to wheel out of the room to fetch the others. "Kurt, please just call me Ganondorf."
Kitty lounged back onto the couch, straightening her shirt. The professor had gathered everyone into the living room, and for some reason Kurt was so excited he looked fit to wet himself. "Like, what is going on? Please don't tell us we're in trouble...." Ororo tsked, smiling a rare smile. "Such guilty consciences, child. The professor said to wait for everyone to get here before he made the announcement." The professor nodded wisely, his eyes crinkling as he smiled. Kurt made a impatient whine and plopped onto the couch next to Kitty, clutching a piece of paper in his hand. Scott and Jean entered the room, huffing. "I'm sorry, professor, but me and Jean were in the danger room and..." The professor sent Scott a quick mental warning. Shut up, Scott. You too, Jean. Not a word. They both just nodded dumbly and, seeing there were no vacant spots left, stood. "Kurt, I believe you had something to tell us..." The professor said, a hint of smile tinting his voice. Kurt, who was about to burst, happily ported in front of them, spreading out his paper. "Um...the professor has... well, ja..." Kurt looked at the professor in help, unable to voice the situation. The professor cleared his throat and wheeled in front of them, giving a warm smile to Kurt. "It seems I have done you a favor by preparing you an extensive danger room project," Everyone groaned. The professor held up his hand, asking for silence. "But I am sure you will find it to your liking. I have programmed the control settings to accommodate a Generiam Forty Two CTX Cartridge." Receiving Blank Stares he sighed and put it to basic terms. "Meaning you can play a video game as real life." This got a response. When the shouting and laughing had died down, Xavier motioned Kurt again. Go ahead Kurt. Kurt smiled nervously, showing his fangs. "Well, the professor has done me the favor of allowing me first choice, as you will..." They waited for him to continue. "And I chose Zelda..." They all gave cheers, which just fed onto Kurt's ego, giving his confidence. " The professor has been working on this for weeks, and he has picked a person for each role of the game," Anticipation filled the air, and Kurt was happy at the acceptance. Before he could roll off the names, they began shouting inquiries. One stood out to Kurt's ears, and to no surprise it was Kitty. "Like, who am I going to be? I hope I'm not that fairy, she's so like, annoying!"
Kurt pointed a furry digit at Kitty, referring to the paper. "Katzchen...Zelda, Saria, Malon..." Kitty beamed, having no clue who these people were. "Evan...You get the role of the much abused castle guards and the Happy Mask Salesman." Evan opened his mouth to complain but was silenced by a sharp lance from Logan. "Logan-The happy running bunny hood guy and...King Zora." Logan nodded. "Rahne...Princess Ruto." He scrolled down the script, giving each mutant a role until there was one left, and he felt *very* apprehensive at the professor's decision for this particular role. Eating time, he skipped it, hoping she wouldn't notice or care. "Oh, ja, I'm Link." There were various 'of course' and 'big surprise' and everyone shuffled out towards the danger room, excited and wary of how this was going to turn out. He turned to follow them but a hand on his shoulder stopped him. "What role do Ah Get, fuzzy?" Kurt cringed. Rogue. "Rogue..." He scrolled down the paper, hoping she would give up and leave him alone. "Hm? I do have a role, right?" Kurt grinned a fake grin and read off her name as it appeared on the list. "Rogue...Navi, the happy, cheery, ignorant fairy." Rogue cracked her knuckles. "I don't think so."
AN: Ugh, I know, it was horribly boring. But now I get to start n the fun part! Oh yes, Kurtty fluff in the future! *jumps around* Review!!!
