Disclaimer: I own Sidney, Tally, Al, Flo, Pickles, and the triplets. I don't own Spanish soap operas. I appologise if my making fun of them causes any offense, but i like making fun at soaps in general. Oh, the 'Push him down the stairs' gag is really from Friends, 'The One Where It All Began (Pilot) ', i just couldn't resist using it, it cracks me up every time, but it isn't mine.
Well, looks like iv'e sloved the bunched up paragraph problem. Yay for me :D
Its that time again, all hail to the reviewers!
Eileen: Good, i'm glad it worked, darn fanfic.net..oh well

Miah Tolensky - Yes, nice, new rebuilt house. :)
Red witch - Glad you like, you don't have to wait long, here it is :D
Chapter 3 - A clue unearthed
"Your leaving?".
Lance sighed as he looked at Kitty's heartbroken face. This was harder than he thought it would be.
"Well, not for a while yet", he said, giving a small smile, "it'll take a few months for them to rebuild".
"Oh great", said Kitty saracstically, "i get to spend a few months with you, lucky me!. What about US Lance, don't you care anymore?".
"Of course i care", Lance groaned, "but you know as well as i do that the Brotherhood could never really fit in here. We told you from the start it was only temporary".
"So what?", said Kitty, crossing her arms, "we just have to, like, go back to being enemies again?".
"Kitty, we were going out when the Brotherhood house was still up", said Lance, this was getting difficult, "and i never stopped being a member of the Brotherhood, none of us did".
"I just don't know why you can't stay", said Kitty, tears starting to form in her eyes, "you have everything you ever need here. Why would you want to go back..THERE?".
"Because it's our home Kitty", said Lance, putting a hand on her shoulder, "the instuitute's nice and all, but it isn't where we belong".
"Well maybe i don't 'belong' in your perfect little world either", snapped Kitty, jerking her shoulder away, "so why don't you just leave me alone Alvers!".
With that, she started to run off, sobbing. Lance tried to grab her arm, but she just phased right through it. He watched Kitty run upstairs and sighed. She only ever called him 'Alvers' when he was in big trouble. He shook his head slightly and trapsed into the common room, sitting on a chair and holding his head in his hands.
"Whats up with you Rocky?", asked Rogue, looking up from the tv.
"I blew it with Kitty", he said, not even looking up, "she didn't take me leaving very well. She even called me 'Alvers'".
"Ouch", said Rogue, wincing, "she must be pretty mad at ya'll".
"You got that right", said Lance, "i didn't want to upset her, but....".
"The mansion ain't home?", said Rogue, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, right", said Lance, "i just wish i could make her understand that".
Rogue sighed and stood up.
"Okay Rocky, consider yerself lucky ah'm in a good mood", said Rogue with a smile, "ah'll go talk to her. But you owe me one buddy".
"Thanks Rogue", said Lance with a sigh, "i just hope she'll listen to you".
"Ah'm her roomate", said Rogue with an evil smirk, "she ain't go no choice in the matter".
"Good luck", muttered Lance as Rogue walked up the stairs to the room she and Kitty shared.
Kitty was sobbing on her bed when she heard a knock on the door.
"Go away", she said, her voice muffled by her pillow.
Instead of going away, she heard the door open and someone step inside. She groaned and sat up, frowning.
"I said go away!".
"It's ma'h room too", said Rogue with a chuckle as she entered, "ya'll can't kick me out that easily".
"Oh...its you Rogue", said Kitty with a sniffle, "sorry i shouted. It's just...i can't belive Lance would do this to me".
"Do what?", said Rogue, crossing her arms, "go back to his home?".
"I thought he liked me", Kitty pouted, "but it's obvious he doesn't".
"Are you serious?", said Rogue, raising an eyebrow, "that guy's been head over heels for ya'll since he first layed eyes on ya, ya'll know that".
"Then why is he leaving?", said Kitty, looking at the floor.
"'Cause he doesn't belong here", said Rogue with a sigh, sitting on Kitty's bed and putting an arm over her roomate's shoulder, "let me tell ya'll something Kitty. When a'h first moved inta the Brotherhood house, a'h thought it was ma'h home. But a'h found out that a'h didn't really feel at home there at all. A'h just wanted somehere to live where ma'h power...well, wasn't that big a deal. But when a'h got closer to you guys, and learned the truth, a'h realised that a'h belonged here, not there. You ain't got no idea how much it hurt me when a'h had ta tell the guys a'h was leavin', ta live with the enemy no less. They were like a family to me, an' a'h was leavin' them, it was hard. An' a'h didn't even love one of them. Think how hard it is for Lance. He's gotta leave ya'll behind after ya'll are finally together, but he can't stay. He belongs with his family in the Brotherhood, thats where he knows he's supposed ta be . He can't change that any more than a'h could change it when a'h lived with them, no matter how much he or a'h wanted to".
Kitty blinked for a second, taking all of this in. Rogue had never really spoke that much about her life in the Brotherhood. Looking at her friend now, she realised how much Rogue had cared about the Brotherhood, they were like her first family. She sighed and closed her eyes.
"I've been a terrible person", she said, "iv'e got to go appologise to Lance".
"Yeah, ya'll go do that", said Rogue, "an' Kitty?".
Kitty stopped and turned to face Rogue.
"Ya'll not a terrible person", she said with a smile, "ya'll shoulda seen how the boys reacted".
"How DID they react?", asked Kitty.
"Freddy went ta the kitchen and ate everything, includin' some old baking soda that had been there even when Todd moved in", Rogue said, counting off the Brotherhood members with her fingers, "Lance went all broody and sat watching a blank tv. Todd went to his room an didn't come out fer two days. An' Pietro, he grabbed hold of ma'h leg an' begged me not ta leave. A'h had ta knock him out ba'h touchin' him so a'h could get out the door. So technically, ya'll acted pretty well".
Kitty giggled.
"That made me feel better", she said, "thanks Rogue".
With that, Kitty phased through the wall and headed downstairs. Lance was still sitting in the chair looking downcast. Kitty smiled and walked up to him, he looked up at her.
"I'm really sorry Kitty", he beagn, "i just..".
"I know", said Kitty, "its me that should be sorry, you have to, like, live where you have to live. I should respect that".
She gave Lance a hug.
"I'm so sorry", she said.
"Its okay", said Lance hugging her back, "and we don't have to split up. Were just....living in different places, thats all".
"Yeah", said Kitty with a smile, she jerked her head to the sound of Pietro and Evan fighting somewhere in the mansion, again, "well at least, like, we'll get those two apart".
A while later, the mutants were watching tv in the common room. Jean had gone out on a date with Duncan and a while later Scott left, saying he had 'buisness' to take care of. Pietro and Evan were sitting on opposite sides of the room, after being 'removed' from around each others throats a few hours before. Sidney was asleep on the sofa next to Todd, her head on his shoulder. On the tv was a Spanish soap opera. Kitty walked into the room with Lance. She took one look at the tv and groaned.
"You guys are watching that again?", she said, shaking her head.
"Why do you guys bother if none of you can speak a word of Spanish?", aksed Lance with a chuckle.
"Pure entertainment value Rocky", said Todd, shifting his shoulder slightly, making Sidney mutter something about candy floss.
"Well whats happened then?", asked Lance with a smirk.
"From vhat i can guess", said Kurt, rubbing his chin, "ze pickle eating opera singer vent on a date vith ze janitor guy".
"Aye", said Tally, pointing at the tv, "and just now, the guy the looks a wee bit like George Clooney bought the rich waitress a burger. But she dinnae want it because it has mayo on it".
"Hey she's gonna push him down the stairs!", said Pietro exitedly.
"Push him down the stairs, push him down the stairs", the group chanted, as if on cue, the actress pussed the man down the stairs everyone cheered as he fake-rolled down and lay on the bottom. Sidney woke up with the sudden shouting.
"Arrrh!", she said, jumping up, "who, whatzat?".
"Why don't ya just go up ta bed Sid?", said Todd with a sigh, "ya too tired, plus ya need ya sleep".
"Todd's right", said Tally, "ye not doin' yeself any favors stayin up this late".
"Oklay, okay i'm going, i'm going", said Sidney, getting up and walking to the door, "godnight everyone".
"Night Sid", everyone said in unison and turned back to the tv.
Sidney chuckled to herself and walked to her room. She got into her nightclothes and climbed into bed, she was soon fast asleep.
Sidney found herself in a area that was completely white, it didn't seem to have any walls or boundaries at all, just white. She looked around, trying to find a way out.
"What is this?", she shouted, "let me out!".
Suddenly, the white turned to sand, she felt scorching heat. In the distance, she could see pyramids. A woman walked over to her, her head covered with a cloak. The woman beckoned Sidney to follow her. Even though she didn't want to, Sidney could feel herself following this woman. Suddenly, they were both in a very different place, Sidney looked around, she knew where she was. She was outside a museum just outside of Bayville. The woman removed her cloack to reveal that she had a cats head. She looked at Sidney for a second the pointed to the museum. Sidney found herself inside the museum standing in front of an exhibit. The cat-headed woman pointed to it. Sidney walked up to the glass and peered in, in the glass case there was a book, open to reveal a lot of writing that Sidney couldn't read.
"I don't understand", said Sidney, looking up at the woman, "what can i do. I don't understand the writing".
"You will", said the woman, even though her lips didn't even move, "you must help me. You must recite the incantation, and soon".
"But i....", started Sidney, but the woman was begining to vanish.
"You must help me or all is lost", she said, suddenly disapearing.
"Wait!", shouted Sidney, running over to the spot where the woman had been, "don't leave me. Please!".
But Sidney was now alone. She looked around, trying to find a way out, suddenly the room she was in started to fill up with sand. Sidney growled, she was going to be trapped!. She changed herself into a tiger and struggled against the raging sea of sand. In seconds, the whole room had filled with it. Sidney could feel herself being pulled under the sand. She felt sand enter her nose and eyes, she felt it filling with lungs. She gave a final roar of painic and jumped. Sidney found herself on the floor of her bedroom, in the form of a tiger. Her blankets had been torn to shreds, she lay on the ground, panting for a second, getting her bareings. The light suddenly came on and all the mutants of the house came running in in their nightclothes.
"Sid are you okay yo?", asked Todd, running over to her, "what happened?".
Sidney blinked for a seocnd before turning into her normal form. She grabbed onto Todd and hugged him tightly.
"It was awful", she said shakilly, "there was that cat-headed woman and a book and then...and then the museum filled with sand..and i...i nearly drowned....and....i was so scared Todd".
"Susshh suushh", said Tod, stoking Sidneys hair, "its over now, its just another bad dream yo".
"No", said Sidney, shaking her head and standing up, "it wasn't a dream, it was...i don't know what it was, but i know where to go to find out".
"Well we can go there tomorow", said Xavier, wheeling in, "i think we had better go to sleep. Sidney, we will go to the museum tomorow, we will put an end to these strange dreams then".
"It's handy living with a phycic", said Evan, "its saves alot of explaining".
"Thank you professor", said Sidney quietly, "sorry i wrecked my sheets. I didn't even know i'd transformed for real".
"Its perfectly alight Sidney", said the professor, "Storm is bringing you up some fresh sheets now. Lets all try to get some rest, it's been a tough night".
The mutants nodded and headed for their rooms. Todd stopped at the door.
"Hey you want me ta stay with ya until Storm comes?", he asked.
"I'll be okay, thanks Todd", said Sidney, "i need time alone to think this one through. You go get some sleep".
"Okay, 'night Sid", he said as he left for his own room.
Sid sighed and sat on her bed, waiting for Storm to bring the sheets through. She really hoped that a trip to the museum would solve her problems, she didn't know how many more of these dreams she could take.
So, you like. What do you think about Sid's dream?. Well review as always, until next time...
