))) hi again. I have some review replies to do, but I'll save that for the end. Here ya go. (((

"Oh, man!" Kurt moaned. "I can't believe Logan made us have a training session this morning!"

"Consider yourself lucky," Rogue said. "Scott's still so ill he can't even get out of bed."

"Lucky him. No training," Evan muttered.

"Guys, we have to stay in shape, you know," Jean said, but she didn't look too happy either. "I'm going to go check on Scott. I'll see you guys later." She left to change into her normal clothes.

"Tell him I'm not a smurf!" Kurt yelled after her.

"Well, Ah'm going to go relax for awhile. It's Saturday, we should do something fun." Rogue said.

"Maybe we can go watch a movie later," Naddie suggested.

"Sound good ta me," Rogue replied. "We have the whole day ahead of us. I'll talk to yall later and decide what we're goin' ta do."

Everyone went their separate ways to change out of their costumes and find something to do. A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. Kitty ignored it at first, assuming someone else would get it, but after it rang three times she finally sighed and decided to get it.

"Coming!" she yelled as she phased through the floor to the front room. She opened the door to find Lance, leaning against the doorway and looking horrible. Kitty momentarily forgot she was mad at him for going to the dance with Kim, and was concerned.

"Lance, you don't look so good! Are you, like, feeling all right?" She looked out the door behind him. "Did you drive here ALONE? You don't look like you're in any condition to be out on your own right now."

"Kitty, please," he croaked. "Need to see. . . Kim." Kitty scowled.

"Fine! I'll get you Kim. KIM! LANCE IS HERE TO SEE YOU!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. The room shook slightly, whether from Lance's powers or Kitty's voice, it was hard to tell. She then angrily stalked off and phased through the wall to another room. A moment later, Kim came down the stairs, still wearing half her costume.

"Lance!" She said. "What are you doing here?"

"Kim. . . have to apologize." He said. "Last night I. . . ugh, I didn't realize what was happening to me."

"It's alright, Lance, it wasn't your fault." Kim said. "It was kind of. . . scary though."

"I know, Kim, and I'm really sorry. Forgive me?"

"Alright," she said. "But right now, you look like you need some rest!"

"Fine, I'll go home," he said, turning to the door.

"Oh, no you don't!" Kim said. "It can't be safe for you to drive like that. I wonder how you ever made it over here in the first place."

"Well, I. . . don't really remember, actually," Lance stopped and scratched his head, as if trying very hard to remember something important.

"It's alright," Kim said. "Wait here and I'll get Mr. Logan to drive you home. Be right back."

When Kim returned with Logan, they found Lance curled up on the floor, fast asleep.

"Oh, isn't that cute!" Kim said. Logan just rolled his eyes and carried the unconscious boy to the car.

"Scott?" Jean asked softly, walking into his room. "Are you awake?" She dared not probe his mind, still weak from the alcohol.

"Ung, Jean?" Scott asked. He rolled over and looked at her.

"Hey, sleepyhead. I brought you a glass of water and some more tylenol. You hungry yet?"

"No," he moaned. She sat with him a minute to make sure he was alright.

"Jean?" he said after a moment. "I. . . don't remember exactly what happened last night, but I have the feeling I made a real fool of myself." Jean blushed, remembering how Scott professed his love for her.

"No, Scott, you didn't make too big a fool of yourself," Jean said.

"Man, wish I was the telepath," Scott said. "I know you're lying."

"Maybe I am, but it's nothing to worry about," Jean assured. She gently put a finger on his lips so he wouldn't speak. "Now, get some rest. I'll bring you a sandwich when you get hungry." She bent down and kissed his forehead, then quietly left the room. Scott rolled over and started to go to sleep. Several minutes after Jean had left, Scott opened his eyes again as he realized something.

'Jean just kissed me!' he thought.

"So, what are we going to do with our Saturday?" Naddie asked.

"What about that movie you suggested?" Rogue asked.

"We should watch 'Charlie's Angels'!" Kitty said enthusiastically.

"That's a chick movie," Evan said, waving it away.

"So all of a sudden you don't like girls in tight leather costumes, Evan?" Naddie teased.

"I see my own aunt in tight leather at least once a day here," Evan said. "So it's just not the same as it used to be."

"Well, then what do you propose we do?" Rogue asked.

"I think I'll just go skating, actually," he said, and did just that.

"Let's just get in the car and go until we find something interesting," Kurt suggested.

"Why not? I'm bored," Ron agreed.

"Then come on," Rogue said. "Guess I'm driving."

))) no, I don't even know where they're going. lol that will just come when it comes. Melly g, yes, Jean confronting Scott would be funny which is why I used it. U like?

Cryala, I wan't trying to insult rap music. I'm not a big fan of it or anything, but I do like a few songs. Mostly, it was kind of an inside joke- I hate my school dances mostly because they play these awful songs that you just can't dance to, many of them that would probably fall under the category of rap (I'm not a music expert) some rap songs are great and you can dance to them, yes, but I was thinking about these awful songs played at our dances that makes me wonder what on earth the dj is thinking. Didn't mean to insult your genre!

Roguehobbit, about Rogue's necklace, you'll just have to wait. I might reveal it, might not. You might have to use your imagination on it. (yes, I'm evil, I know.)

Everyone liked Kurt the smurf! lol. Of all the names (blue fuzzy elf, etc) I've heard him called, I don't think I've ever heard him called a smurf! which is probably a good thing because to overuse it would be very degrading to our dear fuzzy one. So I won't call him a smurf again unless absolutely necessary. :)

Oh, before I forget, Twilight, authoress of "Eyes of the Sun" (good story with OC) has graciously drawn me a couple pics of Naddie! Yay! If you wanna take a look, just send me an email and I'll show ya. Thanks, Twilight!

Please review on your way out. Remember, I am the review moocher! (((
