I hath returned! I hope i didn't miss too much, if any of you brought out new chapters or stories while i was away, tell me in your reviews, and then i can read and review them :) Okay, here goes, new chapter.

Chapter 5 - The mission at hand.



"What are you talking about Peety?".

Sidney was looking at Sam with a raised eyebrow, her arms folded.

"I think you should go for it", Sam repeated, "i'll even coach you if you like".

"I don't NEED coaching", said Sidney with an indigant snort, "i can do it perfectly well by myself".

"Then why don't you?", asked Sam, "of course, if your too scared.....".

Sam smiled when he saw Sidney frown, he knew that reverse phycology would work for him, it almost always did.

"I am NOT scared", said Sidney with a growl, "fine, i'll go to the try outs, just to prove you i'm not a coward".

"So will i!", said Kitty, standing up, unaware at how loud she said it. She looked around to notice everyone staring at her, "errrr sorry. I guess i kinda, like, got caught up in the moment".

Sam blinked, he wasn't sure if Kitty joining in this would lower Sidney's chances or not. He didn't want to screw up history. He sighed, he would just have to hope for the best. If Sidney was as good as everyone said she was, Sam figured this would be a breeze. Al had told him that chances were, the tallent scout would pick Sidney and get her singing career out to a flying start. All Sam had to do was make sure that she got to the tryouts and then onto the championship. Easier said than done, considering he had leapt into the body of someone that Sidney didn't like very much, AT ALL. Sidney smiled and patted Kitty on the back.

"Right then", she said, "we'll cream the lot of them, right K girl?".

"YEAH!", said Kitty finnishing with a wild manical laugh. Sam backed away slightly, this was a side of Kitty he had not yet seen. Judging by the look on Sidney's face, it was one she wasn't used to either.

"Geeez i didn't reallise you had a competitive streak Kitty", said Sidney with a chuckle, "i hope it isn't dangerous".

"Sorry", said Kitty, blushing, "i think i'll just go get a soda or something. I need to calm down".

With that, she got up and walked out of the caffeteria. Sam turned to Sidney.

"The try-outs are in two days, are you sure you can handle it?", he asked.

"Since when did i coome across something i can't handle Pietro?", she asked with a smile, standing up, "now if you don't ind, i'm going to go catch me a nice, big, fat rat".

It took all of Sam's willpower not to pale at the idea as he watched Sidney leave. As she walked out of the door, he noticed Rogue, Scott and Evan come strolling in. They made their way through the maze of tables and chairs to finally sit at Sam's table. Rogue sat down and pulled a face at Sam.

"Way to go Speedy", she said, "ya'll got Kitty riled up. A'hm her roomate remember, a'h have ta deal with her now. A'hm not gonna get any sleep for ages".

"Sorry", said Sam with a chuckle, "but don't you think she has a chance?".

"Not with Sid competing too", muttered Evan.

"Evans right", said Scott, frowning slightly, "i just hope this doesn't ruin their friendship".

Sam groaned inwardly, he hadn't thought about that. But they SEEMED to be okay about competing against each other. Of course, all that could change.



The rest of the school day went fine. Kitty and Sidney still seemed to be on good terms with each other and Sam hadn't been mobbed by any other girl. Sam was now sitting down in the common room watching tv with the other students. A knock at the door made a few students look lazily up and Sidney and Kurt both idly flicked their immage inducers on. Sam smiled, he had to admit, he was imppressed with the holo-watches, they were quite inventive. He heard the door being opened by Logan but couldn't hear who was there or what was being said. He shrugged and turned back to the tv, he'd forgotten how good it was to be a teenager, just being able to laze around all day. Logan walked into the living room and scowled at Sam.

"It's fer you Speedy", he said, jerking his thumb towards the door, "how many times do we have ta say that ya have ta TELL us when someone comes over?".

"Sorry", said Sam, he didn't know anything about a visitor, it must have been something Pietro had 'neglected' to tell the adults before Sam leapt into him.

Sam sighed and stood up, walking out of the common room and towards the front door. When he got there, he was surprised to see one of girls from the morning's 'incident' leaning on the door frame, chewing some gum. She grinned when she saw Sam.

"You ready Pietro?", she asked.

"Ready for what.....", Sam strained to remember the girls name, "Mel?".

"Our date doufus", giggled Mel, "don't tell me you forgot".

"No, i didn't forget", said Sam quickly, stepping out of the door and closing it, "where do you want to go?".

"To the movies, like we planned, two weeks ago", said Mel, Sam could tell by the tone of her voice the girl was getting irritated.

"Yeah, of course", said Sam, "i was just...checking".

"Right", said Mel, unconvinced, "come on, lets go already".

"I just have to tell the...", started Sam, only to be cut off by Mel grabbing his arm and pulling him away.

"Tell them later", she said, "we going, NOW. Before cheerleader girl and ferret girl(A/N this is nothing aginst Ferrets, i actualy like them, i'm owned by two of them. It just seemed an apropriate animal at the time) show up".

Sam sighed and he was dragged away by Mel, wishing that Thursday would come around soon.
