I turn to you

By Todd fan

Disclaimer: If you recognise it from anywhere other than my writing, then it isn't mine. Wish it was, but it isn't. I do own Sidney and Pickles, and the other characters you know i own. I don't own 'the Kurt dance', Kurt does. I don't own the song 'every party needs a pooper', i don't know who does, but i heard it on my ALL TIME fave movie, 'Father of the Bride'.

The people here are the nicest people in the world, they review my work, bless 'em:

Red witch - well i thought it was about time someone did. I must admit, i prefer Todd to Mortimer.

Foxglove - well thank you. Lol, oh yeah Todd and Daniel would fit into Jerry Springer with ease, whoah inspiration!!!!!!!!! Mmmmm i've got a story idea (laughs evily). Money bags might make a second apperance, you'll have to wait and see.....

Thanks you guys, your the best. *Gives everyone a big hug*

Chapter 17 - A plan is made.



The four days that everyone had been away for went by quickly. Thankfully, Kitty had been right, Todd's father didn't make a second apperance. When everyone had come home, they were tired and some of them smelt worse than Todd did. All of them claimed that they would never do that again, and told the three remaining teens how lucky they were to be able to stay at home. Rogue had asked Kitty if there was any decent gossip, but she kept her promise, she didn't tell her about Todd's father's visit. Instead she just told them that things were just dull and nothing intresting had happend. Rogue had shrugged and left the room, muttering about how it would take at least ten showers before she got the 'wilderness smell' out of her hair. Kitty was sitting on her bed messing about on her laptop when she heard someone clear their throat. She looked up to see Sidney leaning on the doorway.

"Oh, like, hey Sid" said Kitty, putting her laptop down and smiling at the feline mutant. Despite the fact that Sidney had left the X-men for the Brotherhood, the girls still managed to stay good friends.

"Hey Kitty", said Sidney, walking in and sitting on the bed, "you enjoy yourself while we were gone?"

"Yeah, i guess", said Kitty with a shrug, "it was really quiet, and Logan's training sessions kinda stunk".

Sidney nodded and smiled. She looked to the floor for a second then sighed.

"Todd told me his old man came calling", she said, "it was cool you kept quiet about it. Todd doesn't like too many people knowing about his past".

"I figured", said Kitty shaking her head, "but hey, if he wants it to be a hush-hush thing, i've, like, got no problem".

"Yeah", said Sidney with a sigh, "its just one of those things ya know?. I mean, Todd isn't eactly the most open of people. Heck the only reason i know anything about him is because we were joined at the hip as kids. I guess he's kinda worried that if people knew his roots, they would see him in a different way, and not care about the person he is, only the person he was. If that makes any sense".

"I understand", said Kitty, "he's lucky he's got a friend like you".

"Yeah, i know", said Sidney with a chuckle, "i dread to think where he'd be now, if i wasn't there to tell him to keep his chin up. Anyway, thanks. Todd's gratefull too, he's just got a different way of showing it".

Sidney stood up and walked out of the room. She passed Rogue who was waiting outside the bathroom, pounding on the door.

"Come ON Jean", she shouted, "ya'll can't hog the shower ALL day. A'h need to wash too ya know".

"I'll be out in a second", came Jeans voice through the door, "why dont' use use the downstairs bathroom?"

"Kurt's in it", shouted Rogue, "a'n he gets blue fur everywhere, there ain't no way im goin' in there after he's through with it".

"Well you'll just have to wait", came Jean's voice again.

"Having fun Rogue?", said Sidney with a chuckle.

"Well a'h will have fun once a ceratin red head gets outta the bathroom", said Rogue, "a'h really need ta shower. A'h smell worse than Swamp-breath. Er...no offense to yer boyfriend".

"None taken", said Sidney with a chuckle, "it's at time like this i'm glad i can change into a cat. It's easy enough to wash without a shower with a rough tounge".

To prove her point, Sidney transformed herself into a small tabby cat and bgan to wash her paw.

"A'h envy you Sid", said Rogue, banging her head on the bathroom door.

Sidney gave a purr and trotted off down the hall, tail held in the air. She poked her head around the common room door. Lance was sitting in a chair looking exhausted. She padded over to the cair and leapt on the arm rest.

"Hey Sid", said Lance with a sigh, patting her on the head, "you given up on the shower thing too?".

She hopped down and onto the sofa, then transformed into her ordinary self.

"Yeah, well fur smells even worse when it's wet anyway", she said with a chuckle, "i take it you can't get into a bathroom?"

"No", said Lance with a sigh, "i can't. Kurt's in one and Pietro took the other. The only consaltion is that Summer's can't get into one either".

"Or Fred", said Sidney with a giggle, "but then again, that really can't be a good thing".

"Nah, he got to one before blue-boy", said Lance waving his hand in the air, "Fred's probably gone to bed, i don't think he likes too much physical activity".

"Well after staying in that slave camp, im not too fond of it now either", said Sidney, shaking her head, "i wish i'd stayed at home with Todd".

"Speaking of which, were is the little Frog?", asked Lance, "i haven't seen him yet".

"Oh, he's up in his room", said Sidney with a sigh, "he's had a tough time recently, he's just brooding alot".

"Todd brooding?", said Lance, sitting up, "man that must be serious, whats wrong with him?. You didn't dump him did you?".

"Heck no", said Sidney, "why would i want to do that? Anyway, i can't tell you whats wrong, its something that he should tell you himself, only if he wants to though. Don't hold your breath, i doubt he'll want to talk about it. He really needs some cheering up".

"Hummmmm", said Lance looking thoughtfull., "you know, i think i know what might just cheer o'l Frogger up".

"If it's a strip club forget it", said Sidney, crossing her arms.

"No way, Kitty'd kill me", said Lance with a chuckle, "but maybe what he needs is a 'guys night out'".

"I don't like the sound of that....."

"Oh i won't let him get into trouble, i promise", said Lance with a smile, he was starting to like this idea, "i mean, we could all go. I think we need a night just to us guys. I might even invite Summers......maybe".

"Invite Summers where?", said Pietro walking in.

"To our 'guys night out'", said Lance proudly.

"Guys night out whoooo", said Pietro, jumping up and down, "i like that idea. I can pick up chicks!".

It was at this point that Kitty had phased through the floor.

"Lance Alvers you had better not be going out to pick up 'chicks'", she said as she decended to ground level.

"No, it's just a guys night out, you know, to cheer up Todd", said Lance with a nervous chuckle, "besides, we could all use the time out".

"Nothing like male bonding", said Sidney, rolling her eyes.

"Look i promise that i won't let Todd near any girls....", started Lance.

"Hah!", interupted Pietro, "as if that would ever happen, Todd couldn't pick up a girl if he tried. Besides why would they want to look at Frogger when they can look at the perfection that is Pietro Maximoff?"

"Hes' right", said Sidney with a chuckle, "i've got nothing to worry about".

"I knew you found me attractive", said Pietro, wrapping his arm around Sidney's shoulder faster than she could blink.

"I was refering to the fact that no girl would go near Todd, except for me that is", she said, picking his arm off her shoulder and moving it away from her, "i feel sorry for any girl that goes out with you".

"I'm wounded", said Pietro, putting his hand to his forehead, "so Lancester, we on?".

"Yeah", said Lance with a smile, "if the adults lets us. Go spread the word to all the guys"

"Even Summers?"

"Hey i want to see if i can get him drunk enough to do something stupid", said Lance with a shrug.

"As long as you, like, don't do anything stupid", said Kitty, "or go near another girl".

"Awwww Pretty-Kitty, your the only girl for me", said Lance "i'll behave, i promise".

"Okay then", said Kitty with a sigh, "hey Sid. i just go, like, a brilliant idea. If the guys are going to have a 'boys night out', why don't we have a 'girls night in'?".

"Mmmmmmm, sounds like fun", said Sidney with a smile, "even if there are only four of us. But if the guys can have fun, they heck, so can we".



The professor sighed and looked up at the expectant faces of Lance, Kitty, Sidney and Pietro. He wasn't too thrilled with their idea, as seen as Pickles was still on the loose, but neither Logan or Sabertooth had reported any sightings of him for a few weeks.

"Well", he said, placing his hands together, "i suppose you boys COULD go out, if you were on guard, and home in time for cerfew".

"Oh we'd be back in time for cerfew professor, i promise", said Lance with a smile, "besides, were taking captain serious with us, he'll remind us when we have to get in".

"I assue your refering to Scott", said the professor with a chuckle, "oh, alright, as long as your carefull".

"Thanks professor, you rock", said Lance cheerfully.

"Again with the rock puns", moaned Pietro.

"What about our girls night in professor?", asked Kitty hopefully.

"As long as it is just the four of you, then it will be okay", said the professor with a sigh.

"Oh it would be", said Sidney with a nod.

"Fine", said the professor, "but please don't drink too much, i really hate having to deal with teenagers with hangovers".

"Okay, thanks again professor", said Pietro, he and the others leaving, "i'm gonna go spread the word around the house".

Pietro dashed off arriving nno more a minute later.

"Everyone can go", he said slapping Lance on the back, "it took some convincing Todd, but once he found out it was going out with us, or staying in with the girls, he was only to happy to join us".

"You just be nice to him", warned Sidney, "and remeber, don't try to make him talk about what he's so down and out about. If you do, i will hunt each and every one of you boys down and kill you, got it?".

"Heh heh, got it", said Pietro, backing away from Sidney.

*Bamf*, Kurt suddenly appeared on the table.

"Yeah party party party!", he said, doing what the students had started to call ' the kurt dance'.

"Okay, Kurt...", said Lance with a sigh, "are you going to do that all the time?".

"Maybe", said Kurt, swishing his tail, "maybe not. Eeet depends what mood i'm in".

"Fair enough", said Lance with a shrug.

"I hope you all stay within your limits", said Scott, walking down the stairs, "i really don't want to be responsible for all of you".

"Awww don't be such a wet blanket one-eye", said Lance, shaking his head.

"Don't be such a party pooper", said Kurt, crossing his arms.

"Every party needs a pooper, thats why we invited you", Pietro started to sing, "party pooper, party pooper. Every party needs a pooper, thats why we invited you, Scott Summers".

"Don't make me take my shades off Maximoff", warned Scott.

"Like, you'd hit me", said Pietro with a chuckle.

"Err guys, why don't you try to get along huh?", said Sidney, "cause you'll be spending the entire night together tomorow and i don't think Xavier would appriciate it if you killed each other".

"Your right", said Lance with a frown and held out his ahdn to Scott, "temporary truce?"

"Temporary truce", said Scott ,taking Lance's hand and shaking it, "besdies, i think you need all the help you can get controling those two".

He pointed over to where Kurt and Pietro were dancing around like luantics.

"This will be....interesting", said Lance with a sigh.



Soo what do you think/. I know this is a short chapter, but it's meant to be. I will be covering both partys in seperate chapters, even though they'd be happening kinda at the same time.....if you catch my drift. Whos going to have most fun?. Until next time......
