Thanks to all my reviewers, without whom this story wouldn't carry on.
I'll put up the next lot of X-men:Evolution - The musical!. Tomorow. I've got a clod, so i haven't got the enrgy to write. The only reason this is going up is because i wrote it ages ago. Anyhoo....
Chapter 3 - Darwinism in action.
After a LONG shopping trip, Tabby and Sidney had decided it was time to go home, much to Fred's delight.
"Ugh i can't belive the price of those hamburgers", complained Sidney as they walked, "i mean, i could have caught a bunch of rats for free. They probably would have tasted better anyway".
*I couldn't agree more*, said a voice from behind them, *and trust me, the rats certainly DO taste better*.
Sidney blinked and spun around, looking for who had spoken.
"Whats wrong with you Sid?", asked Tabby, "why'd you stop?".
"Didn't you guys hear that then?", asked Sidney, narrowing her eyes suspisiously.
"Hear what?", asked Fred, "all we heard was you complaining about the price of hamburgers. Then you started muttering something about rats".
"I could swear someone replyed to me", said Sidney, looking around, she then tried again, "did anyone talk to me?".
*I did*, 'said' the voice again, *i thought you knew that*.
Sidney looked around, trying to figure out where the voice was coming from.
"Where are you?", asked Sidney.
"We're right here", said Tabby, "geez Sid, if i were you, i'd ask Big Al for some time off. Your loosing it girl".
*Down here*.
Sidney looked down, at her feet sat a black cat. Sidney blinked in surprise. She was used to being able to comunicate with cats, but only when she'd taken their form, and she was pretty sure she was in her normal form. Neithertheless, she turned to Tabby and Fred.
"Am i in my normal form?", she asked them.
They both looked at her as if she'd grown an extra head.
"Err, you should know that Sid", said Fred, "i mean, you are carrying a bag in your HAND".
Sidney frowned, Freddy was right, she had to be in normal form.
"Whats wrong Sid?", asked Tabby, a hit of concern now in her voice.
"I...i can understand that cat", said Sidney, pointing to the cat.
"We know that", said Tabby waving her hand in the air, "you can comunicate with cats. Whoop de do".
*My name is Alphonse, not 'that cat', thank you*, put in the cat.
"No...i can hear him now..In normal form", said Sidney, backing away from the cat slightly, "he just told me his name was Alphonse".
"Wait...you can hear him...now?", asked Fred, "but you have to be in cat...".
"I know", said Sidney, "this is kinda wierding me out people".
"I think we'd better get you home", said Tabby, putting an arm around Sidney's shoulder.
"Yeah..home", said Sidney with a sigh, "come on lets go".
*See you around*, came the voice of Alphonse again.
When the trio finally came home, Sidney collapsed on the couch with a sigh. She looked up as Lance, Pietro and Todd entered.
"Hey", she said then closed her eyes.
"Sid's had a little bit of a shock today", explained Tabbitha.
"She heard a cat speak", put in Fred.
"So?", said Pietro with a shrug, "she does that all the time".
"Not when she's in normal form", said Tabby.
"Wait...said Lance, blinking, then turning to Sidney, "you heard a cat. Without changing shape?".
Sidney just nodded in reply, her eyes still closed.
"You okay?", asked Todd, worriedly.
"Yeah, i guess", said Sidney, giving Todd a small smile, "it was just a shock, thats all. I just wish i could figure out what happened".
"Looks like your wish just came true", said Pietro, looking out of the window, "Baldy's here".
Sidney got up and walked to the window. Sure enough, Xavier was wheeling down the path, accompanied by Storm.
"I'll go talk to him", said Sidney with a sigh.
"If he's here about me, i'm not in", said Tabitha, hiding behind the couch.
"You really think you can hide from a telephaph?", asked Todd with a raised eyebrow.
"Rats", said Tabby, standing up.
Meanwhile, Sidney had walked outside to greet Xavier.
"Hey professor", she said with a wave, "hey Orono".
Storm simply waved and smiled. Xavier nodded.
"Hello Sidney", he said, "i think you know why i've come here".
"Its about today isn't it?", asked Sidney, her tail twiching slightly.
"Yes", said Xavier, "i got a reading from Cerebro. It appears your mutant power is evolving"
"Evolving?", asked Sidney, "how more weird loking can i get?".
"Oh don't worry Sidney", said Xavier with a cuhckle, "it won't change your apperance. In fact it's pretty much finished up today. The only difference to your powers now is that you can communicate with cats without changing form".
"Thats all?", asked Sidney hopefully.
"Thats all".
"Well thats a relief", said Sidney with a smile, "you scared me a minute there professor".
"Yes..well, i just thought you'd like to know", he said as he started to wheel away, the stopped and turned around, "how's Tabitha doing here?".
"She's fine", said Sidney, "don't worry, we're taking good care of her".
"Good, and yourself?", asked Xavier.
"Hey you know me", said Sidney with a chuckle, "i fit perfectly in here".
"Yes", said Xavier, a slight look of disapointment on his face, "well...goodbye Sidney".
With that, he and Storm left. Sidney sighed and walked back into the house.
"So what was all that about?", asked Lance, "he didn't try to re-recruit you again did he?".
"He tried a little", said Sidney with a shrug, "he came here to tell me that my powers have just evolved. Apparntely, this talking to cats without changing form is gonna be a permenant fixture".
"Cool", said Pietro, "what a time saver".
"Yeah, i guess so", said Sidney.
One more chapter done!. Remember to review!. Until next time...
