Dislaimer - I do own X-men:evoultion and all it's characters. Ha!, made you look twice!. Nope, i only own Sidney oh and Loraine Humber. I don't own the twilight zone either.
Lets all bow down to those that have reviewed my story:
Descendent - Mmmmm... You'll just have to wait and see. Actually, from this point on, my brain is making it up as i go along, i only had about 10 chapters planned, so ANYTHING could happen!
Red witch - i kow its sweet :). Ok, i'll still R&R it, it's a good fic.
Eileen - I know, poor Sidney won't live this one down for a bit.. I don't usually admit it, but i tend to be a sucker for the romance too.
Capslock - aww well thank you carriad
I have many names - well, we shall wait and see my friend, we shall wait and see (insert evil laugh here).
May you all catch all the rainbows you chase :)
We are getting closer to the 50 review mark (i'm so happy), when we hit 50 reviews, i will make a chapter in Sidney's POV, i promise.
Chapter 12 - How not to serenade your loved one.
The week had gone by really quickly and it was soon the day before Kitty's birthday. Lance dashed into the front room where Sidney, Todd and Pietro were watching tv. Todd was sitting on the couch with Sidney lying on it, her feet on Todds legs. Since the grand 'unveiling', everyone had finally given in and accepted the couch as part of the furniture, it wasn't as uncomfartable as it looked. Sidney looked up and smiled at Lance.
"Hey Rocky, what's the rush?", she asked, "i thought only Peetey here ran around like that".
"Shut up Sid", said Pietro from a chair, "but what is the rush about Lance? The house on fire?".
"No", said Lance then grinned, "i really need to ask a favour out of you guys".
"If ya want us ta be the backin' singers fer ya while ya seranade Kitty- cat, ya got another thing commin'", said Todd, crossing his arms.
"Oh no, thats all me", said Lance, "but i need to go to the institute and you know the defences they have around there. So..".
"So you want us to run around, taking everything they throw at us while you play Romeo?", said Pietro, shaking his head, "not in a million years".
"Well", said Lance with a sigh, "if your not up to the challenge.....".
"Challenge?", said Pietro, jumping up from the chair, "who said anything about me not being able to meet a challenge?".
"One down", said Lance with a smug smile, then turned to Todd and Sidney, "guys?".
"Oh alright", said Sidney with a sigh, standing up, "but only because i'm bored out of my skull".
Lance turned to Todd.
"Like i have a choice now?", said Todd, standing up.
"Thanks guys, your the best", said Lance, grabbing Kitty's present and ushering the trio outside.
"Wait, wheres Freddy?", said Todd, "won't he be good at this?".
"Fred's on a date", said Lance with a shrug, "come on, get in the jeep".
"Freddy got a date?", said Sidney, "who?"
"I don't know, some Loraine girl", said Lance, "okay guys, i mean it, we have to hurry".
"Loraine Humber?", asked Pietro, "ahh one of the 'ones that got away'".
"Lovely", said Lance, resorting to picking up each teen in turn and putting them in his jeep, "lets go now, shall we?".
He stepped on the gas and sped off to the mansion. When he got there, he used his powers to topple the gates and pulled up in the institute's driveway.
"Okay guys, you go do your stuff and make me proud", he said, "iv'e got to go be romantic".
Todd, Pietro and Sidney, gave a collective sigh and headed into the grounds, waiting for the impending attack.
"Well i wish he'd given us time to change into our uniforms", said Sidney crossing her arms, "but noooooo, we have to fight like this".
"It ain't that bad", said Todd with a shrug, "it's not like they don't know who we are by now".
"Good point", said Sidney as Logan came running from the mansion doors, snarling, "ooooh i've been waiting for this for a long time".
Her eyes glowed and she transformed into a tiger, she looked at her teammates before running off towards Logan. Logan looked at the Tiger and sniffed.
"I don't know what you and your buddies are doin' here Cagney, but it's really tickin' me off", he said with a growl, "don't think i'm gonna go easy on ya, just because ya lived here".
Sidney growled and turned back to her normal form, coming face to face with Logan.
"I wouldn't want you to go easy on me Claws", she snarled, "but you want me, come get me".
With that, she changed into a cheetah and ran off. Logan gave a growl and gave chase. They both disappeared into the undergrowth.
"She really, really doesn't like him, does she?", said Pietro.
"I think it's a genetic hatred", siad Todd with a shake of his head, "heads up, here comes the welcomin' party".
Scott, Jean, Evan and Kurt were running out of the mansion.
"Okay, there's four of 'em and two of us", said Pietro with a groan, "i mean, how can this be fair?".
"Would ya rather help Sid with Logan?", asked Todd.
"These guys are fine", said Pietro, quickly running off to taunt Evan and Scott.
Meanwhile, Lance had found Kitty's window and was tossing rocks at it, trying to get her to come to the balcony. Unfortunately, he got an irate Rogue instead.
"What do ya'll want Rocky?", shouted Rogue.
"Can i speak to Kitty, please?", asked Lance, trying to be nice.
Rogue gave a sigh and walked inside. He could hear talking and a squeal of delight. Kitty appeared at the balcony, smiling happily.
"Like, hi Lance", she said, leaning on the balcony pillar, "what are you doing here at this time of night?".
Lance smiled, and cleared his throat. It was now or never.
"I just called to say, i love you
I just called to say how much i care
I just called to say, i love you
And i mean it from the bottom of my heart".
"Aww Lance, thats soo sweet", said Kitty, sitting down while Lance carried on singing, "i've never been serenaded before".
Kitty was so happy, she didn't see Rogue disappear out of the bedroom door. Lance was enjoying the reaction he got and was still singing, reallin getting into the mood. He handn't noticed that everyone had stopped fighting to watch him.
"No new years day, to cerebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first loves greeting
No song to sing
In fact it's just another ordinary day
No april rain
No flowers bloom
No winning Saturday within the month of June
But what it is
Is something true
Made up of these three words that i must say to you".
Suddenly, the lawn's sprinkler system came on.
"I just call......arrrrrrhhh thats cold", said Lance as he ran about, trying to avoid the water.
Kitty turned round to see Rogue, leaning on the door frame grinningand dusting off her hands.
"Rogue!", Kitty said, then looked down to Lance, "don't worry, i'll, like, get you a towel".
Rogue shrugged as Kitty ran passed her and walked to the bacony, leaning over the railing, smiling down at Lance.
"Enjoy your cool-off Rocky?", she said meanly, "a'h thought ya'll might need it".
The sprinklers suddenly stopped, obviously turned off by Kitty. Lance looked over to where everyone, both X-men and Brotherhood alike, were laughing their heads off. Pietro was rolling on the ground, unable to keep it in.
"That sucked big time man", he said between laughs.
"Ja, you made a fool of yourself", said Kurt, pointing at Lance and chuckling.
Lance put his hand to his head,and leaned against the wall. This was unbelivably embarrasing. Suddenly, Kitty phased part-way through the wall, grabbing Lance and pulling him inside.
"Here", she said, stifling a giggle and handing him a towel, "that was really sweet".
"Thanks", said Lance, blushing and taking the towel, starting to dry his hair, "it looked alot better on paper".
"So..was there, like a reason for you to come out here and get yourself soaked and your teammates nearly killed?", she asked.
"Yeah, i wanted to wish you an early happy birthday", said Lance with a smile, then rummaged about in his backpack, "and i wanted to give you this".
He pulled out a box, neatly wrapped with a bow on top. Kitty looked at it with a raised eyebrow before opeing it. When she saw the pendant she gave a squeal of delight.
"Oh Lance it's beautifull", she said picking it up,and blushing "oh thank you, this is, like, the best present anyone has every given me".
"I thought you might like it", said Lance with a smile, and prepared to tell the pendant's story, he'd rehearsed it all week, "it was owned by some artist who wanted to give it to his girlfriend. His girlfreind was supposed to marry someone else though, so they had to sell it so they could elope".
"Wow, thats sooo romantic", said Kitty with a smile.
Lance grinned, Sidney had been right, the story did go down well.
"Here Lance help me put it on", said Kitty, handing him the pendant.
"Uh, yeah..sure", said Lance, grinning a very stupid grin.
He put the pendant on her and smiled.
"What do you think?", said Kitty, spinning around a couple of times.
"If it's possible, it's made you even more beautifull", he said with a blush.
"Aww Lance your the sweetest", said Kitty.
"A'h think all of this sappiness is gonna make me sick", muttered Rogue as she passed the door.
"Aww your just jealous", said Kitty, blowing a rasberry.
"Yeah right Kitty", said Rogue, "ya'll just keep tellin' yaself that".
Outside, everyone had got over the dousing and had calmed down.
"Okay guys", said Scott to Todd and Pietro, "once Lance comes out, you guys are outta here, got it?".
"Like we'd want to stay here", said Pietro with a snort, "we'd get all your geek-vibes".
"Errr...wheres Sid?", asked Todd, looking around.
"Guys, Logan's missing too", piped up Jean.
A collective "oh oh", was heard all round. Both teams dashed off to find their missing teamate.
It didn't take them long. Sidney had climbed up at tree and was hissing at Logan, who was slashing at the wood with his claws. Scott came up from behind and tapped Logan on the shoulder.
"Come on Logan, lets leave them now huh?".
Logan spun round with growl, narrowly missing Scott's head with his claws. He blinked and sighed.
"Fine", he said, pointing a clawed hand at Sidney, "this ain't over Octavia. I'll get ya yet".
"Any time Wolverine", Sidney growled, hopping down from her tree.
"Sid ya okay", said Todd with a smile, running over to give her a hug, "i was worried about ya".
To Todd's surprise, instead of going to hug him back, Sidney gave a snarl and stormed off towards the jeep.
"Woah", said Pietro, "what was that?".
"I don't know", said Todd, a little hurt, "she's never snapped like that before".
They were joined by Lance, covered in lipstick marks.
"Hey ,we okay to go?", he said with a smile.
"Yeah, just keep away from Sid, she's more testy than usual", said Pietro, shaking his head, "she even snapped at Todd".
"She snapped at you?", asked Lance, his eyebrow raised at Todd.
"Yeah", said Todd shaking his head, "maybe she's just upset that she couldn't kill Logan".
"Yeah, that WOULD explain it", said Pietro nodding thoughtfully.
"Lets just go home", said Lance clambering into the jeep.
Pietro took shotgun while Todd hopped in the back with Sidney.
"You okay?", Todd asked, worried.
"I'm fine", Sidney said with a huff, "i just want to go home".
"Wish granted lady", said Lance, starting up the jeep and heading back to the Brotherhood house.
When they got in, Sidney stormed upstairs, growling to herself.
"Maybe she'll be okay after she's had a sleep", said Lance, putting a hand on Todd's shoulder.
"I hope so yo", said Todd with a sad sigh, "she ain't given me the cold shoulder like this since we were six an' i acidentally broke her toy banjo".
"I gotta admit", said Pietro, "she's not exactly the nicest person in the world, to me anyway, but she isn't acting like herself".
Fred came lumbering in, looking at Todd, Lance and Pietro.
"Where did you guys go?", he asked.
"We when't playing Romeo's bodyguards", said Pietro with a chuckle, "Lancey- boy here still got a soaking".
"Huh", said Fred with a shrug, "well i'm going to bed".
"Don't ya want dinner Fred?", asked Todd.
"I'm not hungry", said Fred, going upstairs to his room.
"Laides and gentlemen, we have entered the twilight zone", said Pietro, humming the twilight zone theme.
"What IS it with everyone today?", said Todd with a sigh.
"Lets just hope that their all better by the morning", said Lance, "come on, i'll make us something to eat".
Soo what do you think?. I know this is one of the least sense-making chapters yet, but this chapter is just my brain actually trying to form a plotline.It'll make sense in the next chapter, i promise. So what is wrong with Sidney?, and Fred for that matter?, you will have to wait until the next chapter.
