A change in the air

Disclaimer: "What's next?. Rabies shots for the Easter bunny?".
Thank you to all my reviewers. Nothing like a review. :D The dance is nearing, oh yes it is!.
Chapter 18 - A test is passed, a test is set.
Sidney was waiting paciently outside Principal Kelly's office, when the door slamed open and a very excited Duncan ran in. He looked at Sidney and grinned, running over to her.
"I did it. I did it!", he said, waving a piece of paper in the air, "i got a B plus!".
Sidney blinked and looked at the paper, sure enough, Duncan had passed his exam.
"Hey, i told you, my teaching methods never fail", she said with a grin, "well done".
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you", said Dancan, jumping up and down, "i couldn't'a done it without you!".
To her complete surprise, Duncan then gave her a hug.
"Err.....your welcome", said Sidney with a chuckle.
"Miss Cagney", said Dorothy, Kelly's assistant, from her desk, "Principal Kelly will see you now".
"Gotta go face my judgement", said Sidney with a sigh, walking into the Principal's office.
"Yeah...good luck", said Duncan, happily running off to tell his jock friends.
Kelly looked up from his desk as Sidney entered.
"Ah..Miss Cagney", he said, forcing a smile, "well...you did indeed help Mr Mathews. Bayville can still play in the finals".
"Yeah", said Sidney, crossing her arms, "i help up MY end of the bargin, now you hold up YOURS".
Kelly sighed and stood up.
"Well..i suppose you and your.....people deserve a second chance", he said, "i will allow you all to return to school on one condition".
"What is it now?", asked Sidney irritably.
"You can all attend the Halloween dance this week", said Kelly, "determining on your behaviour there, I will decide whether or not you are all fit to come back. If you all behave in a decent manner, you are welcome to come back".
"Fine", said Sidney, "if thats the way we have to prove it, so be it".
"Goodbye, Miss Cagney", said Kelly, waving her out, "see you at the dance".
"Yeah..right", said Sidney with a sigh, walking out.
Meanwhile, over at the Xavier insitiute, Rogue was in her room, flicking through a very large phone book. Kitty phased through the door and started at her roomate.
"Errrr...Rogue?", she asked with a raised eyebrow, "what are you, like, doing?".
Rogue looked up with a jump.
"Jeez Kiity, ya'll really need ta laern how to knock", she said, putting a hand to her chest, "ya'll nearly gave me a heart attack!".
"Sorry", said Kitty with a giggle, "besides, it's my room too. I shouldn't HAVE to knock".
She walked over and glanced over Rogue's shoulder.
"Why are you looking through New York's phone book?", she asked, "i mean, like, there are easier way to find a date you know".
"Funny", said Rogue, pulling a face, "i'm not looking for date. I'm looking for....someone else".
Kitty furrowed her brow for a second then groaned.
"Your not, like, still looking for Toad's grandmother are you?", she asked, putting her hands on her hips, "he'll kill you, you know".
"No he won't, he'll be really greatfull", said Rogue, flicking through the book, "because i'll have reunited him with the only family member who loves him".
"AND you would have gone through his personal life without asking!", said Kitty, "does he even know your doing this?".
"Errr...not exactly", said Rogue with a nervous chuckle, "it's gonna be a surprise".
"Oh yeah. 'Hey Todd, here's your grandmother you never thought you'd see again. I just had to use some of your memories and go delving in you past to do it but SURPRISE!'", said Kitty.
"Sarcasm really doesn't work for ya'll Kitty" said Rogue with a chuckle.
"Didn't Todd say his Grandomther, like, moved back to Italy?", asked Kitty, sitting on the desk.
"He said she MIGHT of", said Rogue with a sigh, "a'h don't think the professor will let me call Italy, so a'hm tryin' New York first".
"Okay...", said Kitty, "so just look for Tolensky. I mean, there can't be THAT many Tolensky's in the world, let alone New York".
"You'd be surprised", said Rogue, "ah've found ten already".
"Ten!", squeaked Kitty, "and you've called them all?".
"Heck no!", said Rogue, "what do ya'll expect me to say?. 'Hi. ya'll don't know me, but a'h was wonderin' if ya'll had a grandson that was abandoned twelve years ago?. Oh he changed his name an' a'h don't even LIVE with him, but a'h was wonderin' if ya knew him?'".
"Okay Rogue, i, like, get your point", said Kitty, hopping off the desk and backing away, "just..chill out okay?".
"Yeah...right", said Rogue, returning to the phone book.
"I'll just..go then", said Kitty, walking out.
"Yeah yeah. Bye bye", said Rogue, waving at Kitty, not even looking up from the book.
"We have to go to the dance to prove ourselves"?.
Lance looked up at Sidney, who had just borken the news to her teamates.
"Yep", said Sidney, "and it's in about a week's time so we need to figure out what were wearing and quick. Did i mention it was a fancy dress?".
"I am NOT wearing fancy dress", said Lance, crossing his arms, "now way no how. Besides, i have no one to go with".
"Go by yourself", said Sidney with a shrug, "you never know, you might get lucky".
"Yeah and see Kitty with some good loking guy. And me sitting in the corner all alone in some stupid costume", said Lance, putting his head in his hands.
"Well let me put it this way", said Sidney, crossing her arms, "if you don't go willingly. I will drag you there myself, and that goes for all of you".
"You wouldn't", said Lance, looking up.
"Wanna bet?", said Sidney with a dangerous grin.
Just then, the door knocked.
"I'll get it", said Todd hopping out of the room, he opened the door to see a grinning Rogue.
"Hey Todd", she said.
"Rogue?", said Todd, blinking, "what do you want now?".
"Ya'll are SOOOO gonna love me fer this" said Rogue, pulling out a piece of card and handing it to him, "ta da!".
Todd took it and looked down. On it was scrawled 'Un piccolo pezzo di Italia' an address, and a phone number.
"Its...an Italian restaurant", said Todd, looking at it with a raised eyebrow.
"Not just any Itailan restaurant", said Rogue smugly, "your grandmother's Italian restaurant".
"Nonna's restaurant?", said Todd, taking this in, "you mean...you..you found her?".
"A'h think so", said Rogue, "a'h got the professor to delve into your memories in ma'h head and got her first name. This is the only Rosetta Tolensky in New York. She lives in Little Italy, it's worth a shot".
"Wow", said Todd, putting a hand to his head, "i...i don't know what to say. Thank you...really. This was somethin' i'd never expect from anyone, yo. Thank you".
"So you're gonna go see her?", asked Rogue.
Woah ha ha ha ha ha ha!. Another cliffhanger. Yeah! Please review people, it keeps the chapter coming. One note, i'm planing on putting the Halloween dance chapter on Halloween, hey i like to do things like that!. If anyone has any ideas on what our mutants, X-men and Brotherhood alike, should go as, please say so in the reviews, 'cause my ideas are dry. Oh, in case your wondering, Todd's grandmother's restaurant is translated into 'A little piece of Italy'. Until next time then...
