Race Baj - You weren't?. Thats good, i like surprising people.

Eileen - Yes indeedy, i was wondering if anyone would pick that up. Its a great show aint it?. SMEG!.
Chapter 7 - Hard truths.
Sam stared at Al for a while, taking it in.
"She dies?", he said when he finally found a voice.
"Yeah", said Al, shaking his head.
"How?".
Al took a deep breath.
"Ziggy says that she had some sort of problem with her immage inducer. It fizzles out when she's on stage", he said, "she gets seen as a mutant and the secret comes out. The problem is, it's not meant to come out for another year or so yet. The crowd panics and one guy decides to kill her".
"Who?", asked Sam.
"The guy who ends up forming the 'Friends Of Humanity'", said Al
"The anti-mutant group?", said Sam, he had heard of them, they were dangerous. In his time, they had caused many mutant deaths. He couldn't remember the founders' name though.
"Thats the one", said Al, "the guy's called Graydon Creed. Neither him or Sidney know it yet, but their cousins".
"Cousins?".
"His father is Victor Creed, aka Sabertooth, Sidney's uncle and one big mean mutant. According to Ziggy, his mother is one Raven Darkholme, better known as Mystique".
"Both of his parents are mutants?", said Sam, blinking, "they why would he want to kill mutants, if most of his family are?".
Al shrugged.
"I don't know, but what i do know is he ISN'T a mutant", he said, "All you have to worry about Sam is making sure Sidney stays alive, and that means stopping her from going to the championships".
"But then she'll miss her big shot", said Sam, "you know, the tallent scout".
"Rather miss an opportunity than end up dead", said Al.
"Okay", said Sam with a sigh, "look, see what Ziggy can dig up about this Graydon Creed guy, and his parents. I'll try and figure out how to stop Sidney from going to the championships".
"Rather you than me", said Al, opening the immaging chamber door, "she is one determined pussycat".
With that, Al disapeared and Sam was left alone to think about how the heck he was going to save Sidney. He sighed and walked back into the room where the auditions were being held. He could see Sidney and Kitty talking excitedly to each other across the room.This was going to be difficult. He walked across to them, before he could speak, Sidney gave him a hug.
"Thanks Speedy. If it weren't for you, i don't think i would have plucked up the courage to audition for this", she said, then stopped and looked thoughfull, "if you ever repeat that, i'll be forced to kill you".
"Got it", said Sam with a nervous chuckle.
"This is, like, so exciting", said Kitty, grinning from ear to ear, "i mean, i think Sidney is totally right for the part, but being her understudy is just, well, great!".
"Your not upset you didn't get the part?", tried Sam, hoping he could get the girls to switch roles,.
"Not at all", said Kitty, "Sid's one of my best friends, i think she deserved it WAY more than me".
"Great", said Sam, he couldn't take the jealously route then.
They were interupted by Jason walking over.
"Well done girls", he said, flashing them one of his smiles, making both girls giggle and earning him if-looks-could-kill glares from Todd and Lance.
"Thanks Jason", said Kitty.
Jason smiled again, "so just to let you know, we have practices every other day, after school, okay?".
Both Sidney and Kitty nodded.
"So what exactly ARE we doing for this thing?", asked Sidney.
"A duet", said Jason with a bashfull smile, "with me".
Both girls looked like they were about to melt into the ground. Lucky Lance and Todd decided this would be the best time to butt in.
"Come on girls", said Lance, making sure he gave Jason a long, hard glare before carrying on, "we gotta get back, you know how the prof gets when we're late".
"Okay Lance", said Kitty dreamily.
With that he carefully and quickly steered the girls towards the exit, Todd close behind.
"First practice is after school tomorow", called Jason after the retreating group, he then turned to Sam, "Was it something i said?".
"If it was, i'll let you know", said Sam with a sigh, taking after the others, leaving Jason to go congradulate Cathy Miller.
Dinner that night had been loud and full of congratulations for both Sidney and Kitty. After he'd eaten, Sam had gone to his room to think of a plan to get Sidney out of the championships. After hours of carefull thought, he'd only come up with stealing the cat-girls glasses. He groaned and lay face- down on the bed, trying to kick start his brain. He didn't even hear Rogue enter the room.
"Whats wrong with you?".
Sam jerked his head up to see the gothic girl leaning on his door frame, he was sure he'd closed that door.
"Nothing", said Sam with a sigh.
Rogue rolled her eyes, obviously unimpressed with his lame answer.
"A'h know you Speedy", she said, "ya'll only ever stay still for longer than ten minutes if somethin's buggin' you. So spill it".
"Nothing's wrong, really", said Sam, he really doubted Rogue would belive him if he told her the truth.
"This is your last chance Speedy, before we have to do this the hard way", said Rogue.
Sam narrowed his eyes, he didn't like the sound of that. He decided to make something up, fast.
"I guess i'm just worried about my physics exam. I don't know if i passed or not", Sam tried.
Rogue narrowed her eyes.
"Pietro Maximoff, that is the worst lie ya'll have ever tried ta tell me", she said, walking over to him, "a'hm just gonna have ta find out the hard way".
Before Sam knew what was happening, Rogue had taken off her glove and tapped him on the forehead. He felt a sudden head rush and he felt like he was going to pass out, he didn't. Rogue had only touched him for a second and as soon as she took her hand off his forehead, Sam felt himself return back to normal. He looked dizzily up to see Rogue backing away from him, her eyes wide.
"Who.....who are you?", she asked, then narrowed her eyes, "S...S...Sam Beckett?".
Another cliffhanger!. Boy am i in an esspecially evil mood this week!. Remember to review, until next time then...
