I'm all better now. If you could ever call my state of mind 'better' that is. Thanks to everyone who reviewed my story 'The trouble with being Wanda'. Okay, on with the chapter..
Chapter 20 (already?) - What to wear, what to wear?
Todd nervously paced in the brotherhood house, glancing time to time at the clock. The house itself was full of Halloween decorations and bits of costumes. Fred was cutting up bits of orange after declaring he was going as a pumpkin (AN/ Thanks wildcreed). Sidney was secretive about what she was going as, and told everyone they would have to wait until the night. Eventually a knock on the door everyone look up.
"Okay, they're here",said Todd, walking over to the door.
He opened it and Rosetta and Gina stepped inside.
"Where are we, the lost crypt?", asked ,Gina, gesturing to the decorations hung everywhere.
"Nah", said Todd with a chuckle, "we got a costume party (AN/ Thanks for telling me Red witch) an' everyone's trying to sort out what we're wearin'".
"A costume party huh?", said Rosetta with a smile.
Todd stered his family into the front room where the Brotherhood looked up and waved.
"Nonna, these are the guys", said Todd, gesturing to them, "that's Lance, Pietro, Freddy an' Sidney".
"Ciao, said Rosetta with a smile.
The Brotherhood waved and smiled back. Rosetta turned to Sidney.
"So you're the young bella that stole my nipote's heart", said said with a smile, "please to meet you".
"Likewise Mrs. Tolensky", said Sidney with a smile.
"Please, call me Rosetta", she said, then looked around, "where did Gina go?".
"Well hello there blue eyes", cooed Gina, where she was grinnning at Pietro.
"Errr..hi Todd's cousin", he said, "Todd's TWELVE year old cousin, that shouldn't be flirting with me".
"Angelina Paola Tolensky", said Rosetta, crossing her arms, "what have i told you?".
"I can't date until i'm fourty", said Gina with a sigh, "and don't use my full name!. Anyway Todd can date. Oooh i have an argument against the rule!".
"Todd's fifteen, you're not", said Rosetta.
"So can i date when i'm fifteen?", said Gina hopefully.
"Maybe", said Rosetta with a wave of her hand.
"That's not and answer!", protested Gina.
"Ogni parola non vuol risposta", replied Rosetta, then she turned to Pietro, "sorry about her. She does thing like that alot".
"So does he", muttered Sidney.
"Hey it's okay. Nice i got an admirer", said Pietro with a grin, "you SURE you're Pietro's grandmother?. I mean you look young enough to be his mother".
"And you could charm the necar out of flowers", said Rosetta with a cuckle, "but i'm afriad i know every trick in the book".
"No fooling you huh?", said Pietro with a grin.
"So can we go and see Bayville?", asked Gina looking at Todd hopefully, "i mean, we need to see where you live. Besides, i missed out on a whole ton of family bonding".
"I agree", said Rosetta, patting Gina on the head, "i would like to see the town you're living in nipote".
"Uh yeah..sure", said Todd with a smile, "what could it hurt?".
A few hours later, Todd was reqreting that remark. Though his grandmother had patiently walked wth him, Gina had taken everything at a dead run, asking a thousand and one questions a minute.
"I wish i had her young body", said Rosetta with a sigh, "i'd get around alot better".
Meanwhile, Rogue and Kitty were walking out of a shop with Jamie trailing behind.
"I can shop for myself you know", muttered Jamie, "i don't need people with me. I'm not a baby".
"Until you get those powers of yours under control you're, like, going to have to put up with escorts", said Kitty with a giggle.
"Speakin' of escorts", said Rogue with a smile, "you got yourself a date for the dance?. Or are ya'll still hung up over Rock-head?".
"I am NOT still hung up over Lance", said Kitty, pulling a face, "if you have to know, i HAVE got a date".
"Who?", piped up Jamie.
"Justin", said Kitty with a smile.
"That hot new guy?", said Rogue, "you sly devil. A'h didn't know ya'll had it in you Kitty Pryde!".
"Well i do", said Kitty smugly, "what about you?. Or are you still planning to go with everyones favorite show-off?".
Before Rogue could answer, she was grabbed into a huge bear-hug by a plump woman speaking Italian.
"Eeep", was all she could manage.
"Oh...sorry", said the woman putting down Rogue, "i got a little..excited".
"It's okay", said Rogue dazed, "err...who are you?".
"This is my grandmother, yo", said Todd walking up and rolling his eyes.
"You were the young lady that helped my nipote find me", said Rosetta with a grin, "Ringcaziarlo".
"Huh?", said Rogue, blinking.
"She said thank you", said Todd with a grin, "an' so do i".
"Oh, it was nothin'", said Rogue with a wave of her hand, still wairlily eyeing up the large woman.
"Well, i'm still really greatfull", said Todd, "i found my family...i never thought i'd see 'em again. If ya ever need anythin', just ask. Any time, any place, no questions asked".
"Thanks...i think", said Rogue with a raised eyebrow.
Rosetta turned to Kitty.
"And you would be that girl that the young Lance Alvers is moping about", she said with a smile.
"Lance is moping?", said Kitty.
"As if someone died", said Rosetta, "you should talk to him. The poor boy, he is going crazy. Ogni vite vuole il suo palo".
Kitty flicked her eyes towards Todd for a translation.
"Every Jack has his Jill", said Todd, rolling his eyes, "hey were'd Gina go now?".
"Are you talking about the girl thats, like, talking to Jamie?", asked Kitty, pointing to where the two youngsters were chatting away.
"Oh il mio dio, she is at it again!", said Rosetta shaking her head, "i don't know what to do with that girl".
"So you can slipt into multiples of yourself?. Cooool", said Gina grinning at Jamie.
"Yeah", said Jamie with a sigh, "but i can't really conrtol it. The slightest tap and i split".
"Talk about you mulitple personalities", said Gina with a laugh, "how do you wrangle them up"?.
"I just concentrate and absorb them back into me", said Jamie, puffing out his chest, them smiled, "so..are you staying in Bayville?".
"No, i'm just visiting", said Gina, "but now i know i have family up here, i'll be visiting tons".
"Neat", said Jamie with a grin, "maybe when you next come around, i can show you where all the next stuff is. None of the boring adult junk".
"I'd like that", said Gina with a smile, batting her eyelids.
"Young lady", said Rosetta, tapping her on the shoulder, "what did i say only a few hours agao?".
"I'm not doing anything!", protested Gina, "i'm just...talking!. Yeah, talking. You did tell me i needed to make friends with people my own age".
"You have your grandfathers quick wits, that's all i can say", muttered Rosetta, rolling her eyes, "he could pull up an excuse out of thin air too. Come on, we have to get going, i don't want to be stuck in traffic".
With that the two started to walk off towards the parking lot.
"Okay...my family are crazy", said Todd blinking, "i'd better go catch up wit' 'em before they cause a traffic acident or somethin'".
"Good luck Todd", said Rogue with a smirk, watching him run after them.
"We'd better get moving too", said Kitty, "we told the professor we'd be home, like, two hours ago. Come on Jamie...Jamie?".
Jamie was smiling happily into thin air.
"Hey, earth callin' Jamie", shouted Rogue, tapping him on his head.
"Huh?", said Jamie, blinking, "what you say Rogue?".
"Oh boy", said Rogue rolling her eyes, "we gotta go back home. NOw. Ya'll can daydream later".
With that, both girls steered Jamie towards the door and to where Loagn was waiting in the X-van.
"It took ya long enough. I was about to go in after ya", he muttered, then glanced at Jamie, "what's wrong with him?".
"He met Todd's cousin", said Kitty with a giggle, "they're about the same age".
"Oh", said Logan, rolling his eyes, "kids".
He started up the van and headed back to the institute.
