Disclaimer: Nope, i still own nothing but Sidney, Tally and Cathy Miller. I don't own the songs 'Isn't it obvious?' by Christina Aquilera or 'Reach for the light' by Steve Winwood. Yes i KNOW it's a song sung by a guy, but i loved it when i watched 'Balto' so i thought it wouldn't hurt to let a girl sing it.
It's reviewer appritation time!. YAY!

Red witch - And more shall come.
Chapter 6 - The dangers of breaking the rules.
Sam walked weirlily home from his date. Pietro's date, he reminded himself. He didn't know how Pietro had done it, but he had obviously built up a reputaion of being a cassanova. The date was a disaster from the start. As soon as he and Mel made it to the movie dome, Sam knew he was in trouble. He, being the gentleman that he was, payed for him and Mel to go into the movie. Mel didn't take this very well, she claimed that she could take care of herself and stormed into the dome. Sam had followed her in, wondering what he'd done wrong. Mel had walked over to the snack counter and picked up a box of popcorn. She stood by the counter, tapping her foot. Sam had assumed after the last outburst that she wanted to buy her own snacks. He had assumed wrong. She waited for a while longer before asking Sam in a non- too-pleastant voice if he was going to buy her some popcorn. Sam had complied and she had walked off into the screen room, muttering aboout how this was a big mistake. Sam had sighed, he couldn't win with this girl. He had finally found where Mel was sitting and took the seat next to her. For some strange reason, Mel had a complete attitude change from walking from the snack bar to the screen room. She had smiled at Sam as he sat down and offered his some popcorn. Sam had cautiously taken a small handfull and settled down to watch the movie. Within five minutes, Mel was all over him. Sam had been able to keep calm until Mel was practically sitting on his knee when he suddenly panicked and stood up. He had told her he needed to go to the toilet and exited the screen room. In truth, he HAD gone to the toilet. Sam felt the fact that he'd climbed out of the toilet window didn't actually mean he'd lied to Mel. Then the REAL fun had started. Sam had looked at his watch and noticed that it was getting late. He had decided that he'd better run back to the institute. Unfortunately, Sam didn't realise exactly how FAST Pietro could run. He'd started off in what he considered a brisk pace only to find himself propelled forward at an intense speed. Sam, noticing buildings and trees rush past him at an incredible pace, had panicked and slapped on the breaks. He didn't realise that Pietro could stop so quickly either and he found himself upside-down in a bush. He had managed to pick himself up and decided to WALK back to the institute. He was now right in front of the Xavier mansion. Sam greatfully opened the door and walked in, only to walk straight into Logan.
"Hi Logan", said Sam tiredly, "i'm just going to bed".
"Ya late Speedy", growled Logan, pointing to the clock on the wall, "i never thought i'd have ta stay that ta you".
Sam sighed.
"I'm sorry Logan", he said, "i tried to get home as quickly as i could but...".
"If ya REALLY tried ta get home as quickly as ya could, ya woulda been home yesterday", said Logan, "don't lie ta me kid. Ya grounded".
"Grounded?", said Sam, blinking, he hadn't been grounded since he was a teenager which, tecnically, he now was.
"Yeah", said Logan, "ya get ta do an extra danger room session each day with me. Ain't you lucky?. Now go ta bed before i cut ya into little pieces".
Sam sighed and walked upstairs to Pietro's room and slumped on the bed. He didn't know what Logan's danger room training sessions were like, but he had a feeling that he wouldn't like them.
Sam was right, Logan's training sessions were the most brutal thing he'd ever been though. It beat everything else he had ever experienced hands down, including wars, a space programe and being given electro-shock pherapy. At least it had given him the chance to get used to Pietro's mutant power, he was quite adept at using super speed now. Logan had decided to let Sam off on Thursday, so he could root for Sidney and Kitty as they tried out for the signing team. Sam was now sitting down watching the various acts pass by, alot of people had auditioned. Kitty had already been on, singing a briliant version of 'Isn't it obvious?'. Sam was impressed, as were the singing team, he just hoped that Sidney was better. As if on cue, Sidney walked into the room for her turn. She was the last in. Jason smiled at her.
"When your ready Sidney", he said.
Sidney nodded, cleared her throat and started to sing.
"Deep in the night
the winds blow cold
and in a heartbeat
the fear takes hold".
Sam gasped, he'd never heard such a wonderfull voice before, and in all his time leaping, he'd met some pretty amazing singers. But none beat this, not by a long shot.
"Geez Speedy, ya actin' like ya've never heard Sidney sing before", said a voice next to him.
Sam snapped out of his trance and turned to see Todd, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah", said Sam, "but..she's just so......".
"I know", said Todd a smile breaking across his face, "she's just amazing ain't she?".
"You really love her, don't you?", asked Sam, he didn't need an answer, he could see it in the frog-like boy's eyes.
"More than anythin' in the world", said Todd with a grin.
Meanwhile, Sidney was still singing.
"Reach for the light
you might touch the sky
stand on the mountaintop
and see yourself flying
reach for the light
to capture a star
come out of the darkness
and find out who you are".
When she finnished everyone in the room aplauded. Jason smiled.
"Well done", he said, "well me and the rest of the team have to go and make our desision. We will be ready in a few minutes".
With that, he and the other members of the singing team walked into a little storeroom. Sidney walked over to where Sam, Todd, Lance and Kitty were standing. She smiled nervously.
"Well. I did it", she said, then turned to Sam, "you happy now Pietro?".
"Yeah", said Sam, "i think both you and Kitty did briliantly. I think.....".
He was cut off by Jason and the team returning.
"We have made our desision", said Jason, trying to talk over the chatter of the excited conestants, "by an unamonous vote. We have chosen Sidney Cagney as our female lead".
The chatter rose even higher, most people congratulating Sidney, Jason had to raise his voice even higher to be heard,.
"Sidney's understudy will be Kitty Pryde and her understudy is Cathy Miller", he said.
"WE GOT IN!", Sidney and Kitty exclaimed in unison, the laughed.
Sam grinned, he had done it. He waited to leap, and waited. He blinked, nothing was happening. Suddenly Al appeared, a grim look on his face.
"Sam we need to talk", he said, indicating to the door.
Todd narrowed his eyes.
"Theres that voice again", he muttered, then shook his head, "freaky man".
"I'll be back in a sec", said Sam, walking out of the room. He waited outside the door until Al apeared again, "why haven't i leapt yet Al?. I mean, i got Sidney through the auditions, she won. She's going to the championships".
"Thats the problem", said Al shaking his head.
"What do you mean Al?", said Sam, narrowing his eyes suspisously.
"I just checked with Ziggy", said Al, "i found out that in real history, if Sidney goes to the championships....".
"Yeah?", said Sam, waving his hand for his friend to continue.
Al sighed and rubbed his face for a second before looking Sam straight in the eye.
"She dies Sam".
