"Rise and shine, children! Come on down for breakfast!" Xavier spoke from
the loud intercoms. The doors opened, security cameras watching their every
move.

The patients left their cells towards the kitchen, Jean having to lead
the way for Scott again. Kurt waited in his cell quietly until everyone
passed on. Unfortunately, Kurt was visited by an unwanted visitor.

Logan looked in the cell and sniffed around. Kurt yelped. Maybe the man
would move on and not see him. Logan quietly moved his eyes to Kurt. Kurt
screamed in fear. "STOP LOOKING AT ME! GO AWAY!!!"

Logan growled low in his throat and attacked. Ororo walked down the hall
hearing screaming and growling. She looked in Kurt's cell and sighed. "He's
doing it again, Professor!"

Xavier wheeled in with a cattle prod and zapped Logan gently on the side.
The wild man keeled over and Kurt remained yelling. Xavier looked at Ororo.

"Will you make sure Logan stays in the basement? Who let him out anyway?"

Ororo blinked. "YOU did... I think... and I'm NOT staying here! It's... ...
closed... and... ... and... AND!!!" She began breathing fast.

Charles sighed. "Go to the kitchen."

Finally Kurt arrived at the kitchen. Jean looked over and smiled. "Hello!"
Kurt screamed and ran off. She blinked questionably. Scott rose an eyebrow. "What was THAT?"

Jean stood up and walked to the corner of the room, peering to the hall.

Kurt yelled. "NO! NO! STOP IT!"

Jean frowned. "You're yelling incorrectly. You have to take a deep breath
and take it all out at once forming words! Not quick small breaths!"

"Jean!"

She coward towards the wall, meeting eyes with the Professor.

"What did I say about being good?"

She blinked.

Out came the sock puppet. Jean yelped and ran back to the table. Xavier
moved his back towards Kurt. "You can come to the kitchen now, Kurt."

He shook his head.

The Professor was tempted on looking back. "Kuuuurt..."

"They'll look at me!"

The Professor shook his head heavily. He looked at Jean. "Don't look at Kurt
or..." He flashed the sock puppet quickly. Jean nodded in fear. Eventually,

Kurt came.

Kurt took a seat at the table across from Scott. He could feel Scott's glance gazing at him. His eyes widened. "Ah!" Kurt screamed, jumping from his chair.

All eyes peered at him in surprise. "AH! The eyes. Everyone's looking at me! The eyes. YOU!" he stopped pointing at Scott. "Yes, you! You're judging me. With...with your eyes. I can feel the judgment processing through your little mind. And...and you're asking yourself all these questions about me! You're thinking of me, aren't you!" Kurt demanded, hiding behind a counter, peeking over at Scott as he waited for an answer.

Scott started stuttering as he shook out of fear. "I...I,I,I...I can't take this!" Scott screamed and ran out of the room. But not without tripping over several pieces of furniture.

"Ororo, do you mind?" Xavier asked looking at her. Without an answer she quickly got up and left the room, not wanting to see what Xavier was about to do to Kurt.

"Now Kurt, you see Scott is blind. Therefore he cannot see you," Xavier explained, not looking at Kurt.

"NO! He can. He can see me," Kurt said, still hiding.

"Well, I guess I'm left with no other choice but to," he began, slipping his hand into his jacket pocket pulling out a pair of pink sunglasses, "give you this."

Kurt peek over the counter. "What is it?" he asked, curious.

"They're a special pair of glasses. When you put them on you become invisible and no one can see you," Xavier said, handing the sunglasses to Kurt.

"But those are my sunglasses, Professor," Jean began, giving a puppy dog look as Kurt took her favorite pair of sunglasses.

"Oh now, Jean I know you want to use the 'invisible sunglasses', but then that wouldn't be sharing now would it," Xavier said, as he gave Jean a 'the sock puppet is in my pocket' look and she immediately stopped talking.

"Go ahead Kurt, put them on," Xavier encouraged.

Kurt put the sunglasses on and looked around.

"Kurt where did you go. Oh no what happened to Kurt," Xavier said, looking around the room, holding back a grin.

"I'm right here, Professor," Kurt said, waving his hands.

"I can't see you, Kurt," Xavier said.

"But Professor, he's right in," before Jean could finish, Xavier kicked her beneath the table.

"Wow Professor. Thank you," Kurt said and sat down for breakfast.

They had a... semi-peaceful breakfast. After eating: the search
for Kitty Pryde.


A scream was heard from outside the house and the neighboring kids stared.
"Yeah... She cracked."

A young girl ran out of the house. "Did you see that?!"

The kids blinked in confusement. "What are you talking about?"

"The mouse!"

The kids sighed in relief. "Oh... a mouse?"

"Yeah! A mouse with tiger claws and sabretooth teeth and!!! AND!!!" She
looked at one of the children and screamed. "OH MY GOD THERE IT IS!!!!" She
ran in the house. The boys looked at one another. "So... anyway..."

Charles roared up the engine. The Blackbird was up and going and they landed
in a near town. Once again, Ororo accompanied him... not quite willingly
however. Xavier wheeled out of the jet and to the front door of the Pryde
residence. He knocked gently and waited. No answer. He rose an eyebrow and
tried again. Another quiet moment. He frowned. "I guess they're not home."

He shook the door knob. The door slowly opened. To his surprised a girl was
right there, watching the door. He smiled nervously. "Uh... Hello! I'm
looking for a Miss Kitty Pryde."

The girl smiled. "Oh, I'm her!" She jumped up with energy. "Can I get you
anything?"

He blinked. "How long were you there watching...?"

She smiled. "An hour. So, Mr..."

"Xavier."

"Xavier! Would you like something to drink?"

He rubbed his neck. "A glass of water would be good..."

"Ok!" She ran to the kitchen. He looked around. No... she seemed to be the
only one home at the moment... and she seemed normal. She couldn't be the
Kitty Pryde he was looking for, could she?

The burnet soon reappeared with a glass of water, soon handing it to the man
in the wheelchair. She sat down and smiled sweetly. "So... what are you
doing here, Mr. Xavier?"

"Well... ... I came to invite you to my special school... but I see that
you're-"

"Shh!"

He stopped talking. "What?"

She leaned closer, her eyes widened. It was quiet for a good amount of time
and soon her screaming broke the silence. Xavier jumped. "Miss Pryde! What's
the matter?!"

"LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT ONE!!!!"

"... Miss Pryde?"

She screamed and looked at the Professor. "Get down!" She pounced on the
man. Nothing happened. Xavier grunted. "Miss Pryde, what is going on?"

She sat up. "Phew! That was a close one!"

"Um... what was that?"

"The pink polar bear, duh! It's been out to get me since I was three, don't
you know."
