What's Good for the Goose….
"Enough!" Althea shouted. "I've had it!"
"We've all had it!" Todd agreed.
"Then it's time we did something about it!" Althea said. She looked around the room at most of the Misfits. "I call this emergency meeting of the Misfits in session! Before I start, where's Lance?"
"He's locked himself in his room, composing his latest series of love poems to Her Royal Kittyness," Fred remarked.
"Good, that'll keep him occupied for a while," Althea nodded. "Now we all know this business with Kitty has to stop!"
"I agree," Pietro said. "She's been stringing him along for way too long!"
"So what do we do about it?" Xi asked.
"I say we let Kitty have a nice long conversation with Mr. Brick here," Daria held up a brick.
"More electric shocks!" Quinn suggested.
"Too subtle," Brittany said. "I say we send her on a one way trip to Mongolia!"
"Not far enough," Fred told her. "How about the Moon?"
"Saturn would be fine with me," Pietro said.
"No, no, no," Althea sighed. "I mean we need to really teach her a lesson!"
"We could always dump a few textbooks in before we lock her in the space shuttle," Brittany said.
"No she means something that would really drive the message home," Daria said.
"Yeah no girl I know would put up with sharing a guy like Lance has too," Fred remarked. "Unless it was for a reality TV show."
"Yeah I'll bet Kitty would really hate it if the tables were turned on her!" Wanda remarked. "That'd teach her!"
Immediately a light went on in all of their heads. "You know," Todd began to think. "I bet Kitty would just love to meet Willow."
"Yeah," Pietro grinned. "I mean Xavier's always wanting to meet new mutants anyway."
"I think we can arrange that," Althea grinned. "Good thing the Eloi have e-mail."
************************************************************************
"What's going on?" Kitty asked a large group of X-Men in the main foyer. All the students were there with no adults.
"The Misfits are bringing over some mutants to meet the Professor," Jean told her.
"Wait a minute? Those guys are bringing us new recruits?" Kitty raised an eyebrow.
"No," Rogue shook her head. "These guys are from some village of mutants in Maine. The Misfits thought it would be a good idea for them to meet the Professor and for a couple of them to spend some time here for a day or so."
"Yeah apparently they said that it was one way for us mutants to learn things from one another," Tabitha filed her nails. "Toad said something like that. I wasn't really paying attention. They're gonna be bringing 'em via the Mass Device express. Speak of the devil…"
The Misfits transported in with three other mutants they had never seen before. One was a very short mutant with thick glasses and brown fur. He was wearing a plaid jacket and brown pants and had huge hands with claws. Another was a heavyset woman in her fifties with a rainbow colored beehive hairdo. She was dressed as if she was going on safari in Africa. But it was the third one that got the most attention. It was a teenage girl with long green hair, brown skin and wearing a very high slit green skirt, necklaces, some strategically placed leaves on her chest and nothing else. To the distaste of the girls the leaves barely covered her more than ample bosom.
"Hey everybody!" Todd waved. "We all want you to meet some friends of ours! These guys are the Eloi. This here is Mole, Mrs. S and Willow."
"Willow?" Kitty's eyebrows raised.
"That's Willow?" Scott's jaw dropped.
"You guys can all get acquainted later," Althea grinned. "Right now we should take them to meet Professor X. Come on guys." She and the other Misfits escorted them down the hall.
"So that's…Willow," Scott stammered.
"Did you see what she was wearing?" Kitty's jaw was wide open.
"More like what she wasn't wearing," Rogue folded her arms in disgust.
"Even in Roma Nova we wear more than that!" Amara gasped.
"And people call me obvious," Tabitha remarked.
Remy whistled. "Wow!"
"What do you mean 'Wow' Swamp Rat?" Rogue growled at him.
"Man no wonder Lance slept with her," Bobby gasped.
"Lucky stiff," Ray whistled.
"She's beautiful," Jamie blinked.
"What a babe," Roberto sighed.
"She's not that good looking," Kitty huffed.
"Oh yes she is," Bobby said.
"I can't believe you guys!" Kitty snapped. "Just because some girl prances around in a skimpy outfit you all start acting like jerks! Can you believe them Peter? Peter!"
"Da?" Peter was looking in the direction Willow went with a dazed look on his face. "Did you say something Kitty?"
"Oooh!" Kitty fumed.
Then Pietro walked back escorting Willow. "We thought that while the adults were talking now would be a good time for all of you to get to know Willow. Her power is being able to control plants."
"Hello!" Willow smiled as she walked up to them. "It's so nice to meet you all! I've heard so much about you!"
"Oh I'll bet," Kitty grinned trying hard not to grit her teeth. "So…you used to date Lance?"
"Only for a short while," Willow said. "He's such a sweet guy. You must be Kitty right? Lance has told me so much about you!" She took Kitty's hands. "I'm sure we'll both be great friends!"
"Yeah you have so much in common," Pietro snickered. All the X-Girls glared at him.
"I hear you have a lovely garden here," Willow asked. "May I see it?"
"Yeah sure!" Bobby grinned as he sided up to her. "I'm Bobby also known as Iceman. I'll show you."
"Actually Bobby don't you have some schoolwork to finish?" Roberto asked.
"No I don't," Bobby said.
"Yes you do!" Roberto shoved him aside. "I'm Roberto DeCosta, also known as Sunspot."
"And I'm Ray Crisp," Ray shoved Roberto aside. "They call me Berzerker. I'll show you around!"
"No I think I can handle this," Roberto growled.
"I insist on showing the lady around," Ray growled back.
"I could show her around," Jamie said.
"NO YOU WILL NOT!" Roberto, Bobby and Ray all said at the same time.
"Ignore those enfants," Remy grinned. "They call me Gambit."
"And I'm Rogue," Rogue took Remy's hand and squeezed it very tightly. "Gambit's girlfriend."
Remy smiled despite the enormous pain in his hand. "We're very happy," He said weakly.
"I think as leader of the X-Men I am the best qualified to show her around," Scott said.
"Oh really?" Jean asked in a cold manner.
"Well uh…ah…" Scott gulped. "I mean, it's part of my duties. You know."
"Well don't let me keep you from your duties then," Jean turned around and walked out.
"Uh…could you excuse me just a sec?" Scott gulped. He went after her. "JEAAAANNN!"
"Why don't you show me around?" Willow asked linking her arm with Peter.
"Of course!" Pietro grinned. "Why not? I'm sure he'd love to!"
"Uh…well if you want to," Peter gulped. "I guess so…"
"How about we both go?" Kitty asked linking Peter's other arm with hers.
"Uh no, I mean," Peter's face started to turn red. "I mean if you're not too busy and…uh…uh…"
"Hey Kitty," Lance walked in. "How's it going?"
Kitty then changed her mind. "Fine Lance. How about the two of us go for a walk somewhere?" She asked. "You go ahead and show Willow the garden, Peter. I know you're dying to." With that she took Lance's hand and dragged him out of the room.
"Kitty…" Peter mumbled.
"I've got an idea," Forge went up to them. "I'll show her around!"
"Boys! Boys!" Willow grinned. "Let's all go together!"
"Great idea!" Jamie piped up.
"You are not coming," Ray snapped.
"Try and stop me Pikachu Boy," Jamie snapped back.
Soon Willow went out with a dazed Peter, a happy Jamie, and the squabbling Ray, Bobby, Roberto and Forge. This left Kurt and Sam standing there with their jaws still open from shock along with the remaining girls and Remy. Rogue still had his hand in a death grip.
"Can you believe her?" Amara growled.
"What a piece of work," Rogue snarled.
"Chere…please leggo my hand…" Remy whimpered. "Remy thinks you're breaking it…" Rogue then let go and shoved him against the wall before storming off. "Ow…Ow…" Remy whimpered as he lay there.
"Can you believe how immature those boys are being?" Amara snapped.
"Yo! Kurt! Sam!" Tabitha waved a hand in front of their faces. "You two can breathe again!"
"Sorry," Sam gulped. "We went away for a while. We're back now."
"MEN!" Tabitha groaned and stormed away.
"What did we do?" Kurt asked.
"Let's just say you're lucky Amanda's not here," Amara snapped.
************************************************************************
"Willow would you like some lemonade?" Jamie asked as he ran up to her later. "I squeezed it myself. No preservatives."
"Well thank you very much," Willow drank it and smiled. "It's very good."
"Hey Willow you want any cookies with that?" Ray asked.
"How about I make your drink colder?" Bobby asked.
"I could order a pizza or something," Roberto asked. The boys were all surrounding her outside in the garden.
"No, really I'm fine," Willow told them. "Are you sure you girls don't want any help?"
Several of the X-Girls were setting up a picnic table. "Oh no," Tabitha said sweetly. "Wouldn't want you to strain yourself. You're a guest here. If you need anything we'll get you it. Like a shirt perhaps?"
"I could go for something," Fred remarked. He and some of the other Misfits were lounging around as well.
"Then go get it yourself!" Rogue snapped.
Lance walked by. "Hey Lance!" Willow waved. "I need to talk to you for a second! You don't mind if I steal him away for a minute do you?"
"Oh no," Kitty said, trying hard to melt Willow with her vision alone. "You take him." She fumed as they went off together in another direction. "You can take him and throw him off a cliff for all I care!" She snapped as they went out of hearing range.
"You better be careful Kitty," Tabitha said.
"Yeah it looks like she's got her claws in Lance," Amara said.
"Yeah but what beautiful claws," Bobby sighed.
"Not to mention everything else she's got," Ray sighed.
"If you boys are finished drooling can you give us a hand here?" Jean's tone was icy.
"Excuse me," Kitty stormed off in the direction of Lance and Willow.
"I think I'll take a walk too," Todd grinned as he hopped after her.
"Yeah Toad give us a full report," Fred grinned.
Meanwhile Lance and Willow were walking. "So what did you want to see me about Willow?" He asked.
"Actually I really came to help you," Willow told him.
"Help me?"
"I understand you're having a little trouble getting the girl of your dreams," Willow smiled. "So I thought it was time she had a reminder of how great a guy you are."
"Did Al and the others put you up to this?" Lance asked.
"Don't worry," Willow smiled. "I think they have the right idea. Besides, I'm happy to help out an old friend."
Kitty couldn't hear what they were saying but she could see everything from her place in the bushes. "Why that little witch…" She growled.
"See anything interesting?" Todd asked as he hopped up to her.
"None of your business!" Kitty snapped at him.
"Look who's talking," Todd quipped. "They do make a cute couple don't they?"
"A couple of what? Look at her! And how she's hanging on to him!" Kitty fumed.
"What's a matter Kitty?" Todd grinned. "Jealous?"
"I am not!" Kitty snapped at Todd. "I just can't believe the nerve of her! Thinking she can just parade around like that and have all the boys drooling over her! Just because she's a little bit…busty."
"Kitty, Anna Nicole Smith is 'a little bit busty'," Todd pointed out. "She's got it going on!"
"Who asked you?" Kitty snapped.
"You just did," Todd pointed out.
"First she goes after Peter," Kitty grumbled. "Then she runs after Lance! What is it with that girl? She's such a tramp!"
"Yeah the nerve of some girls dangling two or more guys at the same time," Todd quipped as he hopped away.
"Wait a minute!" Kitty went after him. "What do you mean by that crack?"
"What crack?" Todd stopped and looked innocent. "I was merely making a casual observation."
"Yeah right!" Kitty snapped.
"I can't help it if my innocent remarks play on your conscience," Todd snickered as he hopped away.
"Hold on you slimy little creep!" Kitty ran after him.
They ran into Logan and Hank. "What's going on?" Hank asked.
"Yeah why are all the girls around here acting so mad?" Logan asked.
"I take it you haven't seen Willow yet," Todd grinned.
"We haven't had the pleasure of the young ladies company if that's what you…" Hank started to say. Then he stopped. "Oh my stars and garters!"
They saw Lance walking by in the distance with Willow. "Oh boy," Logan groaned. "I think I see the problem!"
"It think we'd better talk to Charles about this," Hank did a quick about face.
"He's not the only one we should talk to," Logan growled. Then a commotion behind them got his attention. "Now what?"
The X-Men were shouting at each other. Actually it was all the girls screaming at the boys. "What is going on here?" Xavier asked as he, Mr. S and Mole appeared on the scene.
"These boys are so immature!" Jean snapped.
"Jean I was just being friendly," Scott protested.
"You didn't have to be that friendly!" Jean told him.
"All I did was ask if she needed anything," Scott told her. "It's not like I was trying to be her personal servant like these idiots!" He pointed to Bobby, Ray and Roberto.
"Hey!" Ray snapped.
"Oh yeah right!" Bobby told him.
"What is the problem here?" Xavier asked.
"Hello there," Willow walked in with Lance. "You must be Professor X."
"Oh I see…" Xavier sighed.
************************************************************************
"I can't believe that Mrs. S lady went so ballistic when the Professor suggested she put a top on!" Bobby groaned. Many of the kids were all outside.
"Yeah well Mrs. S has always been a bit you know, feminist and everything," Mole explained. "Actually she's a bit of a fanatic. Trust me on this; don't ever get into an argument with her on women's issues. I still have the scars from the last time we 'disagreed' two years ago."
"You planned this didn't you?" Jean snapped at the giggling Misfits. "The only reason you invited them here was to have Willow make all of us jealous!"
"Actually we only wanted to make Kitty jealous," Pietro admitted. "But this is even better!"
"WHAT?" Kitty yelled.
"Now you know what you put Lance and Peter through all the time," Pietro glared at her. "How do you like the taste of your own medicine Pryde? Bitter isn't it?"
"I should have known that the real reason was for you guys to cause trouble!" Scott groaned.
Willow walked up wearing one of Scott's shirts. "Thanks so much for the top sweetie," She giggled, kissing Scott on the cheek.
"GET YOUR SLIMY HANDS OFF MY BOYFRIEND!" Jean roared.
"Your boyfriend?" Willow looked at her. "Did he come with a bill of sale?"
"Okay now girls…" Scott gulped.
"Stay away from my man!" Jean stormed up to Willow. "Or else!"
"Or what?" Willow growled. That's when Jean threw her telekinetically across the lawn. "Well if it's physical violence you desire…"
That was when several blades of grass grew to huge lengths and wrapped themselves around Jean's legs. "Hey!" Jean yelled.
"Here's a tip!" Willow shouted. "Never get into a fight with a mutant whose powers are stronger than yours!" With a wave Jean was thrown to the ground and held there by the grass.
"Good advice!" Jean growled. "You should take it yourself!" She started to telekinetically throw some patio furniture at her.
Willow managed to call up some roots to block the debris. "Okay now I am angry!" Willow growled. "And I feel like expressing my anger!"
"So do I!" Jean shouted as she broke free. "AND TAKE OFF MY BOYFRIEND'S SHIRT!"
"YEAH DO IT!" Ray cheered.
"That's it! You are so getting your butt kicked," Amara growled as she fired up and started to attack Ray. Soon nearly all the X-Girls were chasing around the X-Guys.
Kitty of course was furious. "I can't believe the two of you! Lance how dare you use me like that!"
"But…" Lance protested.
"And you Peter! You were just as bad as the others!" Kitty roared. "I am so angry at the both of you!"
"But…" Peter gulped.
"AGGHHH!" Kitty screamed and stormed off.
"Kitty…" Both boys whined and followed her.
"Eat leaves you witch!" Willow managed to sway a tree branch full of leaves into Jean's face.
"DIE EARTH GIRL!" Jean growled as she telekinetically threw a statue at her.
"Is it always like this?" Mole asked Hank.
"I'm afraid so," Hank sighed. He then saw Logan. "What happened to you?"
"Mrs. S has just taken off her top," Logan stated as he stumbled towards them. "Don't go up there. Trust me on this." He looked at the sight. "Oh man…I can't deal with this today!"
"I don't think any of us can deal with this," Hank winced as Ray let out a scream.
"Do you have any um…alcoholic beverages?" Mole asked.
"Right this way," Logan told him as they went into the kitchen.
"Well this was fun," Todd grinned.
"Let's see," Pietro looked around. "We've ticked Kitty off. Gotten Lance and Peter in the doghouse as well as nearly all the guys in the X-Geeks, managed to have Xavier flashed by an aging feminist…"
"Not to mention driving Jean nuts," Althea grinned. "I'd say this was a successful trip wouldn't you?"
"Yeah it'll be a great home video," Fred laughed as he videotaped the entire thing.
Coming soon! The conclusion of this fic! Will Kitty ever decide? Don't hold your breath!
