Notes: I'm trying to decide if this will be a Kurtty or not. I've already written four of those. Well, really 3 1/2, I guess. I don't know. Maybe it'll be a Kurt/Tabby story. I like Jean, but Kurt/Jean? I don't know. I definitely know that it won't be a Kurt/Amara or Kurt/Jubilee, but what about Amanda? Hm. Don't know.
More notes: I'd like to take this moment and thank everyone who's reviewed thus far. I've tried to put more humor into this than in the last set of stories. So I'm sorry if it seems like I'm not going anywhere, but I figure I'll just go back to the romance angle soon enough. Anyhow, thanks to everyone who's reviewed. As usual, you guys and gals can't stop the "rock" within yourselves. That's why you all rock so hard.

Jubilee watched Kurt hug Marie, and for a minute all she could see was red.
"Is she kissing him?" she wondered, and squinted her eyes. "I bet she's kissing him. What a slut! She's his sister. She's so disgusting!"
Of course, Marie hadn't kissed Kurt at all. If Jubilee had been thinking with a straight mind, she would have known that this would be impossible. But Jubilee wasn't thinking with a straight mind. She was thinking with the mind of a thirteen-year old girl who had a crush on an older, unobtainable boy. Jubilee backed up through the bushes, and ran around the park to the nearest payphone. She threw in whatever change was in her pockets. She didn't even notice. Her heart was broken. Now she could never be with Kurt.
The phone rang and rang. Jubilee needed to talk to her friend. Amara would understand. Amara would comfort her. Amara would help her heal her broken heart. Jubilee had time to curse herself for following Kurt through the forest before the very person she had called for picked up the phone.
"Kurt?!?" Amara asked. Like Kitty, she had just guessed who it would be.
"No! It's Jubes!" Jubilee bawled into the phone.
"Oh! Hey Jubes! What's wrong?" Amara asked.
"It's horrible!" Jubilee said, and continued wailing.
"Oh, just tell me what's wrong sweetie."
"It's. . .I. . .I was following Kurt through the woods. . ." Jubliee said.
"Oh. Mhm." Amara's voice suddenly became hard and not quite so supportive, but Jubilee didn't notice.
"Well. . .he walked to the park. . .and he saw Evan and. . .and. . .and Marie!"
"Yeah. So?" Amara said. She wondered why Jubilee had been following Kurt. They had agreed that Amara had dibs.
"Well, they talked for awhile, and then. . .she kissed him!" Jubilee said, completely breaking down now.
"What?!?" Amara asked, almost whispering.
"She. . .she. . .she. . .she kissed him!" Jubilee said.
Amara sat there, stunned. She silently hung up the phone on her sobbing, whimpering friend and sat there. Then she shrieked, and began to sob herself.
That's when Kitty, Jean, and Tabby had run in.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
Evan and Marie got to the mansion about ten minutes after everyone had left. They hadn't driven to the park, so they had to walk back through the woods. As a matter of fact, they had only just missed seeing Jean flying overhead. But they had missed it, and so they weren't prepared for the mansion to be empty of the females who had been throwing themselves at Kurt. They also found, however, that the Professor was nowhere in the mansion.
"Wonderful." Evan said.
"You know, maybe it'll work itself out, like Remy said to Kurt." Marie ventured.
"Yeah, maybe." Evan said. He was sure that it would, It had to. "So, I wonder why you didn't go all "head over heels" for Kurt."
"Ew. That's pretty gross, Evan. He's like, mah family." Marie said.
"I know, I know. But Jean has Scott, and even she was kinda throwing herself at him."
"Well, maybe Ah'm already interested in someone else." She said, walking away from him.
Evan sighed, and followed. He figured that she had a thing for Remy.
"Yeah, well, I'll leave you alone." Evan said, feeling quite dejected. He turned, before she grabbed his hand from behind him.
"Why?" she asked.
"Well, I guess you want to find Remy." He said.
"Wha. . .? Oh. Evan, ya know, I wasn't talkin' 'bout him." She said, smiling.
Evan looked at her, a bit confused for a moment, and then the realization hit him, and he smiled back.
"Oh. Um, okay. Um. . ."
"Come on." She said, dragging him downstairs towards the sub-levels. "We gotta find the Professor."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
About fifteen minutes after Amara had hung up on her, Jubilee was running down the street. She had seen Kurt walk into the fast-food joint, and then back out. She had silently followed him to the bookstore, and had watched him buy a coffee and a scone, and then sit down with a book. She took a seat on the outside of the store, where she could watch him through the window. He couldn't see her thanks to a magazine rack, and she had to crane her neck in order to see him. But it was still nice to be even this close.
She whipped her head around suddenly, hearing the squelching of tires and brakes. She cursed silently, and tried to get up and walk away unnoticed. Kitty, however, wasn't to be fooled. Kitty pulled up to the side of the street and parked Scott's car. Then she ran up to Jubilee, even as Tabitha and Amanda's cars also pulled into parking places.
"Where's Kurt?" Kitty demanded.
"I don't know! Why should I know?" Jubilee said.
"Listen, I know that was you on the phone with Amara! Where did he go? Is he still at the park?"
Jubilee looked up at her sadly, and shook her head. "No."
Behind them, Tabby had jumped out of the jeep and had just ran towards the park. Meanwhile, Amanda stepped out of her car and walked towards Kitty. With every step, her anger grew, and she rubbed her hands as she got closer. Now look at this! Looks like Pryde is harassing some other girl. Well, Amanda planned on showing her that she couldn't treat people the way that she had been treating them. And she planned on showing Kitty that Kurt was hers. As she stepped behind Kitty, her hands dropped to their sides.
"Um, Kitty?" Amanda said to Kitty's back.
"What?!?" Kitty yelled, turning around. When Kitty was facing Amanda, she had time to notice that Amanda's hand was heading towards her face before she found herself on the ground.
"Kitty!" Jubilee yelled, and then looked up at Amanda.
"Don't you ever hang up on me again! Don't you ever drive like that around me again! And don't you ever call him YOUR Kurt again!" Amanda yelled.
Kitty looked up at her as she had gone crazy, and for a minute, Amanda wondered just what she was doing here. That's when Jubilee pushed her to the ground.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
Kurt had just finished reading the first couple of pages when he heard a commotion outside. He looked outside of the window and realized that there was something going on. A couple of people were crowding around the window, and others were watching from across the street. He couldn't see it, however, as a magazine rack was blocking his view. Kurt put the book aside and stood up, walking towards the magazine rack. When he reached it, he stood up taller and peered over the edge. What he saw gave him a feeling in his stomach as if it had just dropped to his feet.
Kitty had Amanda by her hair and was pulling her away from Jubilee, who was lying on the ground with a bloody nose. Jubilee was crying, and Amanda was trying desperately to get back at her. When Amanda realized that she couldn't because of Kitty, Kurt watched Amanda round on Kitty and strike her in the face. Kurt's jaw dropped wide open, and his eyes widened. What was going on here? More importantly, he thought, how do I get out of here?
"I should stop them!" he thought. He scanned the ouside quickly. He was thankful that he knew the layout of this part of downtown quite well. He rushed outside, and pulled Kitty and Amanda apart.
"Vill you two stop! Vhat's wrong viz you?!?" he screamed, taking Kitty by the shoulders.
"Kurt!" she said, a smile spreading across her lips. "Oh, Kurt! I'm so glad I found you! I've really got to talk to you about. . ."
"Don't listen to her, Kurt!" Amanda said, pulling Kurt away.
"Amanda?" Kurt asked. "What did you zink you vere doing to Jubilee?"
At the mention of her name, Jubilee stopped bawling and looked up. Her savior was Kurt!
"Kurt!" she said, hugging his legs.
Kurt looked down at Jubilee and then back up at Amanda. Amanda was staring daggers at Jubilee. She came over and held Kurt in her arms, looking down at the younger girl triumphantly. Then she looked up at Kurt and brought her lips up to his. Her tongue shot forward into his mouth and searched it hungrily. Almost frantically. Her upper teeth hit his, sending pain through his mouth. She kept moving towards him, and with Jubilee's arms still around his legs, he fell onto the sidewalk. Amanda finally broke the kiss, and looked up at Kitty.
"Ha." She said simply, and picked up Kurt.
Kitty stood there, her breath hitching. She was livid.
"How dare. . .how dare you!" she said.
"Oh no." Kurt thought, looking around.
Kitty launched herself at Amanda, and they fell to the ground. Kurt was done. He needed to get out of here. It looked as if the girls were going to have to deal with this on their own. He knew it wasn't chivalrous, but the longer he stayed out here, the more time they had to break his imager or make his tail come loose in front of downtown Bayville. So he untangled himself from Jubilee, who was trying her best to crawl up his bdoy towards his mouth, and ran down the alley next to the bookstore.
Amanda and Kitty stopped fighting long enough to see Kurt run towards the alley, and Kitty dropped Amanda to follow Kurt. She ran past the sobbing Jubilee, closely followed by Amanda. Kurt turned around when he heard them coming, and teleported to the top of the roof of the apartment building next to the bookstore. He looked over the side as Amanda chased Kitty to the end of the alley, and then they took a right on the next street.
Kurt looked at his surroundings. He was thankful that no one had been up here. He continued to circle around, looking here and there. There was a clothesline, a ball, Jean, a smokestack, a. . .
"Jean!" Kurt thought.
"Hello, Kurt." Jean said, floating to the ground.
"Jean, you vere flying! Vhat if someone had seen you?" he asked, backing away from her.
"Kurt, I need to talk to you." She said.
"Um, Jean, you know. . .you're a very pretty girl. . ."
Jean smiled, and kept walking towards him.
"But. . .you. . .um. . .you know, Scott is like my brozzer. . .and. . ."
"Kurt, stop. I just want to talk to you about what's been going on today." Jean said.
"And how to I know you're telling ze truz?" he asked.
"Because I'm in love with Scott Summers, and not you." Jean said.
Kurt stopped backing up, and looked her over.
"Vhy vere you fighting viz Kitty earlier?"
"Because, I care about you as a friend, and I thought that her coming onto you would mess with your head."
"Zen vhy vas she so jealous of you?"
"Because, admittedly, I did want to hang out with you tonight. So that's what the fight started over." She said.
"So you veren't attracted to me at all today?" he asked, making sure.
Jean paused for a moment, and then shrugged.
"Okay, well, I won't lie. When all the other girls started mooning over you at the beginning of the week. . ."
"Beginning of ze veek?!?" He asked, astounded.
"Let me finish. Yeah, at the beginning of the week, when all of the other girls started mooning over you, I found myself seeking you out a lot more. But that's because everything went wrong." She finished, with a just a hint of guilt in her voice.
"Vhat do you mean, everyzing vent wrong?" he asked, suddenly suspicious.
"Um, I decided to. . .help. . .you, a little bit, with your love life." Jean said, not able to look Kurt in the eyes.
"Vhat did you do?" he asked.
"Well. . ." she said. "You'd have to understand why I did it first."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Two Friday's ago, Kurt walked outside to eat with his friends. He passed by Amanda's table, and smiled at her. She didn't even see him. She kept looking over at some other kid that was in their math class.
"Hello, Amanda." He said. She turned around and saw him, smiling a little bit, and returned his greeting before turning back to her friends.
Kurt looked away, hurt, and continued to walk towards his friends. He had to pass the Brotherhood table to get there, but that was no big deal. He was used to their smart remarks But that's because everything went wrong." She finished, with a just a hint of guilt in her voice.
"Vhat do you mean, everyzing vent wrong?" he asked, suddenly suspicious.
"Um, I decided to. . .help. . .you, a little bit, with your love life." Jean said, not able to look Kurt in the eyes.
"Vhat did you do?" he asked.
"Well. . ." she said, and began to recount what she had done at the end of last week.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Two Friday's ago, Kurt walked outside to eat with his friends. He passed by Amanda's table, and smiled at her. She didn't even see him. She kept looking over at some other kid that was in their math class.
"Hello, Amanda." He said. She turned around and saw him, smiling a little bit, and returned his greeting before turning back to her friends.
Kurt looked away, hurt, and continued to walk towards his friends. He had to pass the Brotherhood table to get there, but that was no big deal. He was used to their smart remarks, and tended to ignore them. He looked down at Tabitha as he passed though. She smiled up at him, and traced her finger along his arm. He smiled as he walked away, and turned his head around to say "bye" to her, and she was flirting with Lance, tracing her finger along his jaw. He growled softly. He knew Tabby was like that, he just hated him being a part of it. He looked at Lance, who was responding to the flirting, and growled a little louder. Lance looked at Kurt, and then over Kurt's shoulder at Kitty, and jerked away from Tabby. She leaned over and whispered something into his ear, and he smiled and nodded. Kurt wondered what that could possibly mean. He knew one thing, though. If Avalanche ever hurt Kitty, he'd hurt Avalanche.
Sitting down at the table, he chose a seat next to Kitty and in front of Jean and Scott. His right arm brushed by Kitty's arm, and she flinched at the touch of his fur on her skin. She immediately apologized, but wanting to leave the awkward situation, she left to go sit away with Lance.
Kurt had just about had enough. He put his head in his hands, and felt the tears that were waiting to flow out of his eyes. He squeezed his eyes shut, and breathed deeply to calm himself. He was just lonely, that's all. He was tired of being lonely. He wanted someone to hold hands with, someone to hold him, someone for him to hold. He wanted someone to kiss, someone to go to the movies with, someone to take out to dinner. He wanted someone to care about him in the same way that he cared about other people.
The furthest he got was with Amanda, and he was basically just a friend to her. He had a picture of her in his bedroom, and that's about all the progress that he had made with her. Kitty made it clear from day one that his appearance frightened and revolted her. And Tabitha? Hell, she made it clear that he would be one of one hundred thousand guys in her life. He didn't bare any of them any grudges. He knew that it wasn't their fault. It was his. It was his appearance, and he'd just have to go through life alone, and learn to deal with it.
Jean sat across from him, picking up on his every thought. She thought long and hard about it. She thought into the early hours of the morning, and then she came up with "the plan."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
"And vhat vas ze plan?" Kurt asked, a little dubious.
"Well, I figured that maybe I could just use my powers to kind of. . .open up their eyes to who you really are, and what you look like on the inside." Jean said.
"You vhat? I mean, Jean, I can't say zat it doesn't move me zat you did it, but it's still not ze right zing to do." Kurt said.
"I know that now, Kurt. It was pretty easy though. I didn't change their feelings for you. I just took off their blinders so that they could finally see you. I think that some of them may have even felt this way before I did it. Maybe they just finally woke up to it. I didn't mean for this to happen. I was just so sorry for you. You felt so lonely. I'm sorry."
"I'd razzer not haff your pity." Kurt said, suddenly becoming serious.
"I know, and that's why I'm apologizing."
"Vell, anyhow, how did it go wrong? How did it turn into zis?" Kurt asked, and from behind him Jubilee's fireworks exploded into the darkening sky.
"Wow." Jean said, looking over his shoulder. "Um, what happened is, I think I over did it a little bit. And then the girls started talking to each other. Like, Amara and Jubilee. I just opened Jubilee's mind a little bit. I knew that she and Kitty talked a lot, so I thought they'd work off of each other. But then she talked to Amara about you, and passed it onto her." Jean said.
"Who did you do zis to originally?" Kurt asked.
"Kitty, Tabby, and Amanda." Jean said.
"What about you? You said zat somezing vent wrong viz you." Kurt said.
"Yeah, well, some of it, just a little, was passed onto me. But, since I'm in love with Scott, I'm not acting like the others out there." Jean said.
"So, Kitty, Amanda, Tabby, Amara, Jubilee, and you. You just a little bit. But zat's it, right?" Kurt asked.
"Um. . .yeah." Jean said, avoiding his gaze.
"You're sure?" he asked. She didn't look so.
"Yeah." Jean said, trying her best to look into his eyes so he wouldn't know that she was lying. She'd have to take care of it sometime.
"So how do ve fix zis?" Kurt asked.
"The Professor." Jean said. "It's too big for me to fix anymore. We need the Professor."
"Okay, let's go find him."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------
So there you go. It wasn't just "fookie dust." It was fookie dust aided by some TK. So who were the girls who REALLY care about Kurt? You'll just have to keep reading to find out. Just so everyone knows, I love Kurtty (incase that wasn't evident in my stories from the Ever After-verse). But I'm also a big Tabby fan. Amanda's cool, but I have a feeling she likes him BECAUSE he's a mutant. In "Evolution" only, though. Amanda in the comic universe truly loved him for him. God, I wish I could see the rest of the Evolution episodes. I've read the transcripts for the last four of season three at Beyond Evolution, and man do I love Kurt and Kitty on that cruise episode. But then they bring in Colossus once again in the last two yet to be seen episodes. Great. Kitty will probably go straight to him. Wonderul. Not that I don't like (love) Colossus, because the Lord knows I do, but I like the Kurt/Kitty pairing too much. Anyhow. . .
Later.
Notes: I'm trying to decide if this will be a Kurtty or not. I've already written four of those. Well, really 3 1/2, I guess. I don't know. Maybe it'll be a Kurt/Tabby story. I like Jean, but Kurt/Jean? I don't know. I definitely know that it won't be a Kurt/Amara or Kurt/Jubilee, but what about Amanda? Hm. Don't know.
More notes: I'd like to take this moment and thank everyone who's reviewed thus far. I've tried to put more humor into this than in the last set of stories. So I'm sorry if it seems like I'm not going anywhere, but I figure I'll just go back to the romance angle soon enough. Anyhow, thanks to everyone who's reviewed. As usual, you guys and gals can't stop the "rock" within yourselves. That's why you all rock so hard.

Jubilee watched Kurt hug Marie, and for a minute all she could see was red.
"Is she kissing him?" she wondered, and squinted her eyes. "I bet she's kissing him. What a slut! She's his sister. She's so disgusting!"
Of course, Marie hadn't kissed Kurt at all. If Jubilee had been thinking with a straight mind, she would have known that this would be impossible. But Jubilee wasn't thinking with a straight mind. She was thinking with the mind of a thirteen-year old girl who had a crush on an older, unobtainable boy. Jubilee backed up through the bushes, and ran around the park to the nearest payphone. She threw in whatever change was in her pockets. She didn't even notice. Her heart was broken. Now she could never be with Kurt.
The phone rang and rang. Jubilee needed to talk to her friend. Amara would understand. Amara would comfort her. Amara would help her heal her broken heart. Jubilee had time to curse herself for following Kurt through the forest before the very person she had called for picked up the phone.
"Kurt?!?" Amara asked. Like Kitty, she had just guessed who it would be.
"No! It's Jubes!" Jubilee bawled into the phone.
"Oh! Hey Jubes! What's wrong?" Amara asked.
"It's horrible!" Jubilee said, and continued wailing.
"Oh, just tell me what's wrong sweetie."
"It's. . .I. . .I was following Kurt through the woods. . ." Jubliee said.
"Oh. Mhm." Amara's voice suddenly became hard and not quite so supportive, but Jubilee didn't notice.
"Well. . .he walked to the park. . .and he saw Evan and. . .and. . .and Marie!"
"Yeah. So?" Amara said. She wondered why Jubilee had been following Kurt. They had agreed that Amara had dibs.
"Well, they talked for awhile, and then. . .she kissed him!" Jubilee said, completely breaking down now.
"What?!?" Amara asked, almost whispering.
"She. . .she. . .she. . .she kissed him!" Jubilee said.
Amara sat there, stunned. She silently hung up the phone on her sobbing, whimpering friend and sat there. Then she shrieked, and began to sob herself.
That's when Kitty, Jean, and Tabby had run in.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
Evan and Marie got to the mansion about ten minutes after everyone had left. They hadn't driven to the park, so they had to walk back through the woods. As a matter of fact, they had only just missed seeing Jean flying overhead. But they had missed it, and so they weren't prepared for the mansion to be empty of the females who had been throwing themselves at Kurt. They also found, however, that the Professor was nowhere in the mansion.
"Wonderful." Evan said.
"You know, maybe it'll work itself out, like Remy said to Kurt." Marie ventured.
"Yeah, maybe." Evan said. He was sure that it would, It had to. "So, I wonder why you didn't go all "head over heels" for Kurt."
"Ew. That's pretty gross, Evan. He's like, mah family." Marie said.
"I know, I know. But Jean has Scott, and even she was kinda throwing herself at him."
"Well, maybe Ah'm already interested in someone else." She said, walking away from him.
Evan sighed, and followed. He figured that she had a thing for Remy.
"Yeah, well, I'll leave you alone." Evan said, feeling quite dejected. He turned, before she grabbed his hand from behind him.
"Why?" she asked.
"Well, I guess you want to find Remy." He said.
"Wha. . .? Oh. Evan, ya know, I wasn't talkin' 'bout him." She said, smiling.
Evan looked at her, a bit confused for a moment, and then the realization hit him, and he smiled back.
"Oh. Um, okay. Um. . ."
"Come on." She said, dragging him downstairs towards the sub-levels. "We gotta find the Professor."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
About fifteen minutes after Amara had hung up on her, Jubilee was running down the street. She had seen Kurt walk into the fast-food joint, and then back out. She had silently followed him to the bookstore, and had watched him buy a coffee and a scone, and then sit down with a book.

Kitty pulled up to the side of the street and parked Scott's car. Then she ran up to Jubilee, even as Tabitha and Amanda's cars also pulled into parking places.
"Where's Kurt?" Kitty demanded.
"I don't know! Why should I know?" Jubilee said.
"Listen, I know that was you on the phone with Amara! Where did he go? Is he still at the park?"
Jubilee looked up at her sadly, and shook her head. "No."
Behind them, Tabby had jumped out of the jeep and had just ran towards the park. Meanwhile, Amanda stepped out of her car and walked towards Kitty. With every step, her anger grew, and she rubbed her hands as she got closer. Now look at this! Looks like Pryde is harassing some other girl. Well, Amanda planned on showing her that she couldn't treat people the way that she had been treating them. And she planned on showing Kitty that Kurt was hers. As she stepped behind Kitty, her hands dropped to their sides.
"Um, Kitty?" Amanda said to Kitty's back.
"What?!?" Kitty yelled, turning around. When Kitty was facing Amanda, she had time to notice that Amanda's hand was heading towards her face before she found herself on the ground.
"Kitty!" Jubilee yelled, and then looked up at Amanda.
"Don't you ever hang up on me again! Don't you ever drive like that around me again! And don't you ever call him YOUR Kurt again!" Amanda yelled.
Kitty looked up at her as she had gone crazy, and for a minute, Amanda wondered just what she was doing here. That's when Jubilee pushed her to the ground.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
Kurt had just finished reading the first couple of pages when he heard a commotion outside. He looked outside of the window and realized that there was something going on. A couple of people were crowding around the window, and others were watching from across the street. He couldn't see it, however, as a magazine rack was blocking his view.

Kitty had Amanda by her hair and was pulling her away from Jubilee, who was lying on the ground with a bloody nose. Jubilee was crying, and Amanda was trying desperately to get back at her. When Amanda realized that she couldn't because of Kitty, Kurt watched Amanda round on Kitty and strike her in the face. Kurt's jaw dropped wide open, and his eyes widened. What was going on here? More importantly, he thought, how do I get out of here?
"I should stop them!" he thought. He scanned the ouside quickly. He was thankful that he knew the layout of this part of downtown quite well. He rushed outside, and pulled Kitty and Amanda apart.
"Vill you two stop! Vhat's wrong viz you?!?" he screamed, taking Kitty by the shoulders.
"Kurt!" she said, a smile spreading across her lips. "Oh, Kurt! I'm so glad I found you! I've really got to talk to you about. . ."
"Don't listen to her, Kurt!" Amanda said, pulling Kurt away.

Jean smiled, and kept walking towards him.
"But. . .you. . .um. . .you know, Scott is like my brozzer. . .and. . ."
"Kurt, stop. I just want to talk to you about what's been going on today." Jean said.
"And how to I know you're telling ze truz?" he asked.
"Because I'm in love with Scott Summers, and not you." Jean said.
Kurt stopped backing up, and looked her over.
"Vhy vere you fighting viz Kitty earlier?"
"Because, I care about you as a friend, and I thought that her coming onto you would mess with your head."
"Zen vhy vas she so jealous of you?"
"Because, admittedly, I did want to hang out with you tonight. So that's what the fight started over." She said.
"So you veren't attracted to me at all today?" he asked, making sure.
Jean paused for a moment, and then shrugged.
"Okay, well, I won't lie. When all the other girls started mooning over you at the beginning of the week. . ."
"Beginning of ze veek?!?" He asked, astounded.
"Let me finish. Yeah, at the beginning of the week, when all of the other girls started mooning over you, I found myself seeking you out a lot more. But that's because everything went wrong." She finished, with a just a hint of guilt in her voice.
"Vhat do you mean, everyzing vent wrong?" he asked, suddenly suspicious.
"Um, I decided to. . .help. . .you, a little bit, with your love life." Jean said, not able to look Kurt in the eyes.
"Vhat did you do?" he asked.
"Well. . ." she said. "You'd have to understand why I did it first."

Two Friday's ago, Kurt walked outside to eat with his friends. He passed by Amanda's table, and smiled at her. She didn't even see him. She kept looking over at some other kid that was in their math class.
"Hello, Amanda." He said. She turned around and saw him, smiling a little bit, and returned his greeting before turning back to her friends.
Kurt looked away, hurt, and continued to walk towards his friends. He had to pass the Brotherhood table to get there, but that was no big deal. He was used to their smart remarks But that's because everything went wrong." She finished, with a just a hint of guilt in her voice.
"Vhat do you mean, everyzing vent wrong?" he asked, suddenly suspicious.

"Well. . ." she said, and began to recount what she had done at the end of last week.

Two Friday's ago, Kurt walked outside to eat with his friends. He passed by Amanda's table, and smiled at her. She didn't even see him. She kept looking over at some other kid that was in their math class.
"Hello, Amanda." He said. She turned around and saw him, smiling a little bit, and returned his greeting before turning back to her friends.
Kurt looked away, hurt, and continued to walk towards his friends. He had to pass the Brotherhood table to get there, but that was no big deal. He was used to their smart remarks, and tended to ignore them. He looked down at Tabitha as he passed though. She smiled up at him, and traced her finger along his arm. He smiled as he walked away, and turned his head around to say "bye" to her, and she was flirting with Lance, tracing her finger along his jaw. He growled softly. He knew Tabby was like that, he just hated him being a part of it. He looked at Lance, who was responding to the flirting, and growled a little louder. Lance looked at Kurt, and then over Kurt's shoulder at Kitty, and jerked away from Tabby. She leaned over and whispered something into his ear, and he smiled and nodded. Kurt wondered what that could possibly mean. He knew one thing, though. If Avalanche ever hurt Kitty, he'd hurt Avalanche.
Sitting down at the table, he chose a seat next to Kitty and in front of Jean and Scott. His right arm brushed by Kitty's arm, and she flinched at the touch of his fur on her skin. She immediately apologized, but wanting to leave the awkward situation, she left to go sit away with Lance.
Kurt had just about had enough. He put his head in his hands, and felt the tears that were waiting to flow out of his eyes. He squeezed his eyes shut, and breathed deeply to calm himself. He was just lonely, that's all. He was tired of being lonely. He wanted someone to hold hands with, someone to hold him, someone for him to hold. He wanted someone to kiss, someone to go to the movies with, someone to take out to dinner. He wanted someone to care about him in the same way that he cared about other people.
The furthest he got was with Amanda, and he was basically just a friend to her. He had a picture of her in his bedroom, and that's about all the progress that he had made with her. Kitty made it clear from day one that his appearance frightened and revolted her. And Tabitha? Hell, she made it clear that he would be one of one hundred thousand guys in her life. He didn't bare any of them any grudges. He knew that it wasn't their fault. It was his. It was his appearance, and he'd just have to go through life alone, and learn to deal with it.
Jean sat across from him, picking up on his every thought. She thought long and hard about it. She thought into the early hours of the morning, and then she came up with "the plan."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
"And vhat vas ze plan?" Kurt asked, a little dubious.
"Well, I figured that maybe I could just use my powers to kind of. . .open up their eyes to who you really are, and what you look like on the inside." Jean said.
"You vhat? I mean, Jean, I can't say zat it doesn't move me zat you did it, but it's still not ze right zing to do." Kurt said.
"I know that now, Kurt. It was pretty easy though. I didn't change their feelings for you. I just took off their blinders so that they could finally see you. I think that some of them may have even felt this way before I did it. Maybe they just finally woke up to it. I didn't mean for this to happen. I was just so sorry for you. You felt so lonely. I'm sorry."
"I'd razzer not haff your pity." Kurt said, suddenly becoming serious.
"I know, and that's why I'm apologizing."
"Vell, anyhow, how did it go wrong? How did it turn into zis?" Kurt asked, and from behind him Jubilee's fireworks exploded into the darkening sky.
"Wow." Jean said, looking over his shoulder. "Um, what happened is, I think I over did it a little bit. And then the girls started talking to each other. Like, Amara and Jubilee. I just opened Jubilee's mind a little bit. I knew that she and Kitty talked a lot, so I thought they'd work off of each other. But then she talked to Amara about you, and passed it onto her." Jean said.
"Who did you do zis to originally?" Kurt asked.
"Kitty, Tabby, and Amanda." Jean said.
"What about you? You said zat somezing vent wrong viz you." Kurt said.
"Yeah, well, some of it, just a little, was passed onto me. But, since I'm in love with Scott, I'm not acting like the others out there." Jean said.
"So, Kitty, Amanda, Tabby, Amara, Jubilee, and you. You just a little bit. But zat's it, right?" Kurt asked.
"Um. . .yeah." Jean said, avoiding his gaze.
"You're sure?" he asked. She didn't look so.
"Yeah." Jean said, trying her best to look into his eyes so he wouldn't know that she was lying. She'd have to take care of it sometime.
"So how do ve fix zis?" Kurt asked.
"The Professor." Jean said. "It's too big for me to fix anymore. We need the Professor."
"Okay, let's go find him."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------
So there you go. It wasn't just "fookie dust." It was fookie dust aided by some TK. So who were the girls who REALLY care about Kurt? You'll just have to keep reading to find out. Just so everyone knows, I love Kurtty (incase that wasn't evident in my stories from the Ever After-verse). But I'm also a big Tabby fan. Amanda's cool, but I have a feeling she likes him BECAUSE he's a mutant. In "Evolution" only, though. Amanda in the comic universe truly loved him for him. God, I wish I could see the rest of the Evolution episodes. I've read the transcripts for the last four of season three at Beyond Evolution, and man do I love Kurt and Kitty on that cruise episode. But then they bring in Colossus once again in the last two yet to be seen episodes. Great. Kitty will probably go straight to him. Wonderul. Not that I don't like (love) Colossus, because the Lord knows I do, but I like the Kurt/Kitty pairing too much. Anyhow. . .
Later.
