This took me FOREVER!! I'm so sorry!

Scott had by now created a slit up the side of the cello tape around Kurt's fingers so that it could be pulled off

"It'll probably work like a plaster" he shrugged and prepared to rip it off

"STOP! Do that and you'll rip most of my fur out in the process!" Kurt cried "Put it under the tap and soak it off. Only an idiot would just pull it off, that'd really REALLY hurt!" Kurt laughed at the idea

"Good thing we're indoors, you wouldn't be able to soak it off inside" Scott grinned

"Well, there is the fountain so that shouldn't be a problem either" Kurt shrugged and walked off to the kitchen. "I mean, it's really obvious ja?"

"You're on your own man, I hate the smell of wet fur!" Scott yelled

"Baby! I'm only gonna be getting my fingers wet"

Kitty was trying hard not to cry, it disgusted her to see that she'd pulled most of her skin off when she had been ripping off the cello tape.

"I had no idea there was that much hair on my fingers" she said noticing the fine, downy hairs that had also been pulled out of her skin.

Kitty didn't even try the other joined fingers so she now had three fingers on her right hand and four on her left (but two of them looked incredibly red and were pulsing quietly).

She wished that she hadn't started this all now but it was too late, she had to keep moving. Kitty put the knife back in her pocket and got up.

"Wasn't there something else I was meant to do?" she asked herself

*

"'I'll cover ya' she said 'don't worry about it' she said and we believed her!" Evan and Jean were resting after there second fight with the security settings

"I swear, the minute I get inside I'm gonna have a bath for so long that it would make Kurt seem unhygienic!" Jean sighed.

Evan laid back against the tree and took a deep breath

"The minute my heart slows down I'm gonna find her and Kick her ass!" He groaned unbelievably

"NOOOOO!" Jean howled

"What?" Evan asked worriedly

"My clothes!!" Jean practically sobbed "They're ruined!"

Evan rolled his eyes

"You're worse than Kitty!!"

"This cost sooo much and they're my favourites!" Jean cried

"Don't be so pathetic" Evan said but back-pedalled when he saw Jean's face "I mean- Damn that Kitty! But you can always buy new clothes, they were getting' kinda old anyway"

Jean growled at him then she started to stare

"Evan- have you, um, looked at your hair lately?" She asked

"WHAT?!" Evan leapt up worriedly and went to the fountain to see his reflection

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Jean blocked her ears as Evan howled, mourning his own hair. It was now black and burnt to cinders "It looks awful!!"

"Yeah, that bleach you use probably didn't help" Jean shook her head sadly "I warned you that it was flammable"

"Kitty's gonna die" Evan growled

"Now come on Evan, it's just hair. It'll grow back" Jean tried to talk some sense into him

"What about your clothes?" Evan asked sneakily

"That girls goin' down" Jean agreed

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

"ohmagod!!" Kitty suddenly gasped "I was supposed to be the decoy for Jean and Evan!!"

She began to run towards where she'd last seen them. Maybe they hadn't left yet, yeah that would make sense. It'd be pretty obvious when there was a distraction going on.

"Kitty?" Kurt called at her out of a window.

"Um, Hi Kurt" Kitty replied nervously hiding her hands.

Not fast enough though

"Dear GOD!! What on earth did you do to your fingers??" Kurt cried

"Umm,,,, I jammed them in a door" Kitty invented

"Oh dear. You should come inside and put some ice on those. Besides, you're in danger out here"

"Uh- Don't worry about me Kurt! I'm, like, terrific right now! I'm just going for a little walk" Kitty smiled happily and hurried off

"Weirdo" Kurt shook his head and closed the window again.

Kitty was looking around for Jean and Evan again, they weren't anywhere within range.

"Evan?" She yelled "Jean??"

There was absolutely no reply

"This like, totally sucks" Kitty sighed and began to stomp around.

She noticed that no lasers were appearing out of the ground. Kurt had probably had a quiet word with the professor who had now turned of the security settings.

"Good old Kurt" She smiled and decided to try to get inside again.

Sticking her head through the nearest wall was a good plan. Not checking where her head was going wasn't.

And it was now in the guys shower rooms.

And Logan was using the facilities.

Kitty jerked her head back as fast as she could but the image wouldn't leave her. It flashed before her eyes. Oh God! Wrong choice of words!!!

Kitty was trying very hard not to scream as she covered her eyes and tried to will the image of a naked Logan away from her minds eye. Her minds eye didn't feel like cooperating.

"Kitty?!" She looked up and saw two very bedraggled and angry looking mutants staring at her. Evans hair was now burnt to cinders, Jean looked like she'd made her clothes with crimping scissors.

"Wow, what, like, happened to you two?" Kitty asked innocently

"GET HER!!" Evan yelled and together they both lunged.

Kitty squealed in terror, those two looked like they were about to do anything. Even, dare she say it, MESS UP HER HAIR!!!

"No!!" Kitty yelled and pushed them through the wall next to them. The same one that Kitty had been through. Keeping her eyes firmly shut Kitty phased back outside and waited.

Sure enough two blood curdling screams escaped the building.

"I didn't think guys could hit notes that high" Kitty said cheerfully and walked off to find a less painful way to get the cello tape off her fingers.

She was walking away when she heard the sound of breaking glass. A naked Logan flew out of the shower room window and landed neatly in the fountain. He was partially unconscious but was still muttering an amazing range of curses.

Not wanting to hang around Kitty quickly ran off.

Xavier looked at Jean and Evan. They were both deadly pale, Evan had a fresh black eye which actually matched his hair. Jean was shaking uncontrollably and seemed to be muttering "Soap brush" over and over again. Her clothes had worsened because her top had gone see through as it became wet.

Xavier had to feel a little for them.

"So, would you two care to explain this all two me?" he asked carefully. Bracing himself for the answer.

Jean and Evan exchanged a look and slowly raised their hands. Charles looked at their shiny fingers and decided that probing their mind would not be a healthy choice to make.

"What have you done to you hands?" he asked slowly

"Um..they're just like Kurt's now" Evan muttered

Xavier sighed deeply.

"I think you'd better tell me everything"
