He woke up that morning, early as usual, with that dream still fresh in his memory. After he got dressed, he went downstairs and entered the kitchen, only to find Ororo putting on a fresh pot of coffee. He walked to the cupboard next to where Ororo was and took out a coffee mug.
"Good morning, Logan," Ororo greeted with a smile. Logan just grunted a reply. Even though this was his usual morning greeting, Ororo sensed that something was a little off. "Logan," she started while taking a seat across from him, "is there something troubling you?"
Logan looked up from his morning paper with a raised eyebrow. "What gives you that idea?" he asked in his gruff voice.
"Oh, well, you just don't seem to be your usual self this morning," she replied before getting up from the table. However, seeing that he didn't want to talk to her about whatever was troubling him, she let it go. "But never mind. Forget I said anything." And with that she started setting the table for the students.
As if on cue, footsteps came running down the stairs, doors were heard slamming upstairs, and yes, even a yell from Jean to Kitty, "C'mon Kitty! The rest of us need in the bathroom to get ready for school too!" But all you could hear was a muffled reply.
All of a sudden, there was a loud "POOF!" when Kurt phased into the kitchen - into a seat right beside Logan.
"I beat you, Evan!" Kurt yelled at his fellow mutant who had just sprinted into the kitchen.
"Hey, man. No fair! No powers allowed!" Evan replied as sat down across from Kurt and Logan.
"Good morning boys," Ororo greeted.
"Mornin' Auntie O'," replied Evan.
"Mmmshph..." stated Kurt with his mouth full of cereal. Ororo and Evan just laughed.
"Like, c'mon Jean," Kitty pleaded as she entered the kitchen with Jean, Scott, and Rogue. "Why can't you take Rogue and I shopping for the Fall Ball?" She looked at Jean with her pleading eyes.
"Hey!" Rogue snapped, "Ah nevah said tha' I wanted tah go!" But Kitty just shot her a glare telling her to keep quiet.
All of them took a seat as Jean asked, "But the ball isn't for another two weeks. What's the hurry?"
"Well, duh, isn't it obvious?" Kitty said impatiently. "All the girls will be shopping for new dresses and I to get there before all the good ones are taken."
"I thought that you would want to pick out a great dress, Jean. So maybe you should go. The sooner the better, isn't it?" Scott piped up.
Jean glared across at him. "What are you talking about?"
"Well, you'll want to look your best for that jer-..I mean for Duncan, won't you?" Jean thought that he was trying to pick a fight with her.
"Yeah, well, at least I don't date someone with an IQ lower than thirty!!!" she threw back.
Scott scowled and raised his voice in anger, "Yeah, I guess you're right. Duncan's IQ is only thirty-one, so I guess that would mean that it isn't quite below thirty then, is it?"
By now, both mutants were standing and glaring so angrily at one another that you would think they could kill the other with just their look.
"Hold on you two," Logan interrupted, breaking the silence. "No more bickerin' from either one of ya, understand?" He stated loudly and fiercly.
"You won't hear another word from me," said an angry Scott as he started walking away. "I'm off."
"Whoa, wait for us!" cried Evan while grabbing hold of Kurt's arm and dragging him away from his breakfast that he was only half done eating and out the front door behind Scott.
"Ugh!! I have had enough of his childishness!!!" cried Jean as she walked fiercely away from the table with Rogue and Kitty following quickly behind.
"Well, that was a great start to the day, wasn't it Chuck?" Logan stated sarcastically to Professor Xavier who had joined them just before the argument erupted.
"Mmm..." Charles Xavier pondered in amusement. "Yes, well, they're still teenagers. They have much more to learn about in life. And this phase too, shall pass, I am sure." And with that, he wheeled out of the room leaving Logan and Ororo to deal with the breakfast dishes.
