Kurt Wagner was such a respectful, but fun and loving guy. He knew that he wasn't what 'humans' classify as human, but he knew he held a pure heart. Both of them could clearly hear the music begin to boom loudly in the dining area—where the party was taking place—as Kurt slowed his pace and retracted from Rogue's gloved hand, "Hey, sounds fun, yah?" Kurt grinned at his gothic looking friend. Rogue nodded ... still a little bit on the heistant side of things. She might as well enjoy it, since she had someone to share the night with. He's such a nice guy ... she thought as she walked next to him down the hall. Just as they turned a corner a howl was heard, "LOOK OUT!"
Mister 'fuzzy elf' (no pun intended!) grabbed Rouge's hand and teleported over the oncoming speeder's head, "Sorry guys! Didn't you there!" It was Evan Daniels or otherwise looked upon ... infamous Spyke! The young African-American male was nervously grinned at Kurt and Rouge as he jumped off his skateboard, "Didn't Scott tell ya not to board inside?" Rogue said stiffly; no real change of tone in her voice -- just normal. Kitty arrived at the strange scene and when she saw Kurt holding on to Rogue's hand she felt her face go red, "Oh? you got her out of her cave, Kurt?" Kitty snickered. Kurt had always had a light crush on the preppy girl known as Shadowcat in uniform, but he noticed her reaction and immediatly let go of Rogue's hand. "What do ya mean by that, Kitty? Are ya sayin` I can't enjoy myself now?" Rogue defended herself, puffing her chest slightly, "Ooh ... nevermind." Kitty said with slight sarcasm as she brushed past her and walked down the hall.
"That's it. I ain't goin` ...!" Rogue said with a slightly fed up voice, "Um, I don't mean to interrupt -- but what the heck is going on?" Evan asked with a confused expression on his face, "It's a long story." Kurt said, watching Rogue head back toward her dorm, "Rogue! Hey! Wait!" Kurt ran after her ... leaving poor Evan with an arched brow, "Yeah ..." he hoffed and hoped on his skateboard again; zooming off down the hall.
"Rogue! Don't listen to Kitty, yah? She's just a little grumpy, too!" All Kurt wanted was for everyone to have fun. It was New Year's Eve afterall and all this was giving him a whopping migrane. He caught up with her and grabbed her by the arm, panting furiously. "Look, I said I'd be your partnet through the party, okay? Just have fun!" He grinned, still panting. Rogue stared at him for a moment as if thinking. Why did he want her to go so badly? She sighed deeply, "Fine, fine." Rogue mumbled ... defeated by her comrade.
With a huge grin smacked along his ivory face, the funny guy patted his gothic buddy on the shoulder, "Alright! Okay ... I can still hear the music! Let's go!" The two headed off, side by side, to the party that had already begun. As they walked through the winding halls of the Xavier Mansion -- Rogue found herself lost in deep thought.

Kitty Pryde was already at the party. She was standing near the refreshment table with some other students, including: Boddy Drake (Iceman), Samuel Guthrie (Cannonball) and Jubilation Lee (Jubilee). She was holding a small cup of filled with ice cold Kool-Aid as she chit-chatted with her fellow 'mutants'. "Hey, I'll be right back. All this juice has filled me up." Jubs smiled at her as the other two nodded. Kitty waved and left the dining area, heading towards the restroom.
The halls were eerie and quiet. The only noise heard was the booming from the party, the faint sound of crickets. She was getting creeped out when suddenly, "Hey!" Kitty screamed and jumped nearly five feet off the ground, "Kitty? Are you okay?" She turned around to meet Jean, "Oh my God! You scared me!" Kitty said in a rattled voice. Jean smiled and laughed a bit, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Are you leaving the party?" Kitty shook her head, "Nope. I need to use the restroom," she said as Jean nodded and patted her shoulder, "Well, see you at the party ..." Kitty watched Jean walk down the hall ... toward the party. "Whew, what a scare."
She continued down the hall, feeling less tense than before. She heard the floorboard behind her creek and she laughed, "Jean ... are you going to--" as Kitty turned to expect Jean, her eyes looked down at the hunched over, dirty looking guy with a sly and sinister grin on his face, "Toa--!" Kitty felt a hand over her mouth and someone pin her hands together. It was Peitro whom had her inmobile. She was about to fade from his grip when a tall, dark haired male walked up to, "No, no, no. Not this time, girly." Avalanche grinned, wrapping a strange metallic looking device around her right wrist. Kitty stuggled, only muffled screams being heard behind Peitro's hard grip. She tried and tried again to fade, but it was as if she no longer had powers. Toad, Peitro and Avalance laughed evilly ... looking at the captured X-Men member.

On the otherhand, Rogue and Kurt were busy getting their moves on on the dance floor. Their bodies moved and jumped to the sparky rhydim of the music that echoed throughout the entire place. The floor vibrated with the beat of the heated music as most of the student made their way to enjoy the flashy tunes. "This isn't to bad, is it?" Kurt yelled over the loud music. Rogue could barely hear him, but she nodded ... hoping it was the right answer. She was having fun actually. It wasn't that bad afterall, but the thought of Logan being the DJ was hilarious. She'd chuckled about it before, so now she was just having a blast -- diggin` the tunes.
