Chapter 2
"Psst! C'mon the coast is clear." Rogue motioned hastily towards Kitty, who was frantically trying to stuff pillows under the covers in the shape of their bodies.
"I'm coming!" She fluffed the last pillow and hastily pulled the blanket over it. "Let's go."
Quickly but quietly they made their way down the darkened hallways of the institute, when suddenly they heard a sound from the kitchen, causing them to stop abruptly.
"What was that?!" Kitty asked, realizing for the first time just how much trouble they would be in if they got caught.
"Ah don't know." Rogue whispered, her eyes darting around for a hiding place. "C'mon!" She grabbed Kitty, ran into the living, and dove behind the couch just as a dark shape made its way out of the kitchen. The girls held their breath as the figure entered the living room and stopped right in front of the couch. "What are you doing here!?" Jeans voice sounded annoyed. Both girls started guiltily, but before they could meekly come out of their hiding place, their captor's voice continued. "Scott, I told you! Sneaking into my bedroom at night is NOT a good idea, no matter how much you miss me!"
Kitty clapped a hand over her mouth to keep from giggling. Rogues eyes danced. Jean turned and left the living room, still mumbling to herself.
"Like, oh my goodness!" Kitty collapsed on the ground in a fit of barely suppressed laughter. Rogue couldn't stop grinning.
"Jean sleep walks!"
"And talks!" Gasped Kitty, still trying to hold in her laughter.
"Oh Scott," Rogue clasped her hands together over her heart. "Ah miss ya too!" A small giggle escaped Kitty.
"And like, it's NOT a good idea to be in my bedroom---At night!" Kitty wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. Both of them erupted into a fit of quiet giggles. Eventually they managed to stop and force themselves to speak coherently.
"We should like, hurry and get dressed." Kitty whispered, wiping away tears of laughter.
"Get dressed?" Rogue blinked.
"Like, yeah!" Kitty gave her a 'duh' look. "There is no way we're going to a party, even a brotherhood one, dressed in hospital gowns!"
Rogue looked down and blushed. "Ah guess not."
They hurried on to their room, and managed to avoid any other meetings with team members. Kitty phased them through the door so they wouldn't wake everyone up if it squeaked.
"Okay, so like, what are we gonna wear?" Kitty asked, looking hopelessly at her closet.
"Ah know what Ah'm wearing!" Rogue walked over to her dresser and pulled out her usual outfit: Tights, skirt, tank top, and a hazy/clear overshirt. Kitty rolled her eyes.
"You have other clothes, you know!"
"Really?" Rogue drawled sarcastically. "Do tell."
"You have that shirt from Ororo for Christmas, Kurt got you some great gloves, even wolverine has bought you stuff! I bet---" Suddenly her eyes lit up. "I have such a totally awesome idea!" Rogue began to back away slowly. "I should like totally pick your outfit for you!"
"What! No way!" Rogue shook her head emphatically. "Besides, what would Ah get out o' that?"
"You could pick what I wear!" The words were out of her mouth before she could stop them. Nervously she met Rogue's laughing eyes.
"Shore thang sugah!"
Her accent always got thicker when she was about to be evil. Kitty smiled timidly. What had she gotten herself into?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~ ~*****
"Tell me again what word is supposed to come ta mind when Ah see myself?" Rogue muttered, gazing at her reflection with disdain.
"Hot." Kitty replied, eyeing her masterpiece with pride. "Gorgeous, perfect, dangerous, wild, you-know0you-want-me-but-you-can-never-have-me."
Rogue rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah. That."
She eyed the mirror suspiciously, almost as if it would change and show what she REALLY looked like. She would never admit it to Kitty, but the girl in the mirror was definitely all of the above when it came to Kitty's list, and then some! Kitty had been kind enough to let her keep her boots, which happened to go just great with the dark baggy pants she had cinched tightly at Rogues waist. "To show off your skinny tummy." Kitty had told her. The shirt was the one Ororo had gotten her. It wrapped tightly around her body, but was offset by the looseness of the long flowy sleeves dangling around her arms. She couldn't help but be a little nervous though, since the front of the shirt went up in an upside down V, exposing some of her skin. Still, the shirt was dark green that, according to everyone else, went really great with her eyes.
Kitty had denounced her ordinary make-up as a big no-no, and instead used just a touch of red lipstick and some mascara. There would have been more but Rogue had protested violently when Kitty had brought out the blush and pink eye shadow.
Rogue still wasn't sure what had possessed her to let Kitty mess with her hair, but she had to admit, IT didn't look half bad either. All of the brown was swept up in a kitty-like ponytail, leaving the white strands free to sweep around and frame her face.
But if Kitty outdid herself on Rogue, than Rogue was a miracle worker. After seeing the magic Kitty had used on her, Rogue decided to forget her original plan (something totally goth and totally punk), and instead created a first-class beauty. She had immediately made Kitty get rid of the ponytail, letting her hair fall in loose waves about her shoulders. The outfit Rogue had chosen was a short black skirt that Kitty had regretted buying, claiming she'd never have anywhere to wear it, and a sparkly dark blue tank-top. Rogue allowed Kitty to do her own make up, and the result was outstanding. Both of them stared at their reflections for a little longer than was necessary. Kitty was the first to break the silence.
"Like WOW Rogue! You look---, I look---, we should definitely sneak out more!"
Rogue linked arms with Kitty as they headed towards the door. "Lance won't know what hit him, Sugah!"
Kitty blushed, she wasn't really thinking about what LANCE would think of the outfit.
"Here goes nothing!" She whispered excitedly as she phased them through the door, walls, rooms, and, eventually, the gate surrounding the estate. Once out, they high-fived each other with muffled cheers. Time to party!
~~*~*~***~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~***~*~*~*~*~~~**~~*~*~**~***~**~~*~*~*~*~*~*~***~* ~**~~*~
I know, I know, I should have had them at the party already. But the only time I can write this is at school, and there are only so many minutes in a class period. I've already started three, so it should be here soon. Look forward to Romy soon and a LOT more Kietro!
