The Professor Steps In
Ok, so a big part of the reason Lance was back with the X-Men was 'cause he'd thought being under the same roof with Kitty would lead to them having lots of fun.
The Professor, darn mind readers, quickly laid down the law and said he'd not allow such things to occur at his institute.
He bet Jean and Scott didn't have that rule to live by, but he was on thin ice with the Prof so he accepted it.
Plus, Kitty could walk through walls and they'd gotten pretty darn good at keeping things secret, so he had no real reason to think he'd stop getting any after moving in here.
Still he thought for a while that maybe things wouldn't be as fun around here as they'd been with the Brotherhood, before Pietro returned that is.
Then a few nights after he moved in, Kitty came to him with a wicked gleam in her eyes and told him of the perfect plan she had devised for Rogue.
Smiling broadly, he nodded his acceptance of the role he was to play in said plan and went to carry it out asap.
~*~*~
In her bedroom, Rogue was changing out of her clothes and into her nightgown.
She stood nude beside her bed and bending over to pick up the oversized t-shirt she slept in when Kitty phased through the wall into her room.
"Kitty!" she yelled, holding the shirt in front of her body rather than putting it on. "We ain't roommates anymore, you cannot just come in here when you please like that!"
"Don't worry, Rogue, I won't do it again. There's just something I like had to do tonight."
Seeing the wicked gleam in her friend's eyes made Rogue's widen with the knowledge that Kitty was about to get even with her for the pond incident.
"Kitty – " she tried to reason.
The other girl simply continued to advance on Rogue, smiling more and more with each step forward. Then Kitty placed gloved hands on her shoulders and began phasing them through the floor.
Rogue's mouth fell open and she gazed at Kitty in horror as she realized what room they'd be phasing into.
~*~*~
"What's the emergency, man, I was sleeping?" Evan said as he entered the rec room rubbing his eyes.
"You should see in just a few seconds," Lance replied smugly.
Looking around the room, he was pleased to see everyone had turned out.
Hank and Ororo stood on each side of the Professor, who was giving him a stern look.
Logan was leaning impatiently against the wall.
Amara, Bobby, Jean, Jubilee, Ray, Sam and Scott were all seated in various chairs around the room.
Tabitha and Evan the last two to have entered were just standing there waiting to see what this was all about.
This is going to be perfect!
Lance smiled with malicious glee at the thought and watched as all eyes in the room darted to the ceiling.
"What the – " Evan said moving to stand beside him.
Following everyone else's gaze he saw two pairs feet coming down through the floor of the room above.
One pair of feet had shoes on (that's his Kitty) and the other was bare.
Next came the legs attached to those feet.
Again one pair of legs was covered, the other delightfully bare.
Logan growled softly behind them and straightened from the wall as he put two and two together to make four. Rogue's room was located directly above the rec room and those were her knockout legs now exposed to the thighs.
Soon naked parts of his girl were exposed to everyone in the room when he was the only one would should ever see those parts.
"Everyone off the couch!" Lance ordered as the pair phased completely through the ceiling and dropped into the room, intended to land on said couch.
They landed with a thud in the silent room with everyone gaping at them.
Kitty quickly rolled away from Rogue, leaving the other girl with nothing to cover her nudity but the shirt she still clutched in her hands and that was no cover at all from the eager eyes taking in her state of undress.
Rogue's eyes slid shut and she wished with all her might for Kitty's ability to sink through the floor.
Over his shock, Logan moved forward to yank the shirt from her hands, thrust her body into it then heave her over his shoulder and stalked furiously from the room.
"Kitty, Lance, I believe we need to talk," the Professor broke the silence to say.
~*~*~
The following afternoon, Amanda and Rogue sat nervously in the Professor's office waiting for him to join them in this little meeting he had called.
Kitty was there as well, but she had heard it all last night after her little prank and knew what to expect from this meeting so she wasn't nervous.
The door opened and closed quietly behind them then the Professor wheeled his way behind his desk to stare at the trio sternly.
"I believe you all know why I've called you here."
The three heads in front of him nodded once then dropped forward as the girls couldn't even look him in the face.
"Your little pranks on each other are to come to an end right now. Kitty, Rogue, you've both been here long enough to know that such behavior is not acceptable with so many young boys around. Amanda, you are a guest here and I'm sure you're only following the examples of the other two, but I would expect more common sense from someone as mature as you."
All three chins dropped further toward their chests as he sensed the girls blushing from the reprimand.
"Now, I don't know what started all this, nor do I care to. I simply want your promises that it will stop today and that any future pranks you chose to pull on anyone will be suitable for the other children to witness."
"Yes, Professor. We promise," all three girls lifted their heads to chirp in sync.
He nodded his satisfaction at their answers, he dismissed then from his office.
There was just one last thing he couldn't resist adding as they hustled from the room, though.
"And girls, in future games of Truth or Dare you may want to be more discreet with your dares. Logan was growling for days over your intrusions on his sleep and poor Kurt still hasn't recovered from seeing you run around in your underwear, Amanda."
He laughed delightedly as the trio fell comically through the door and out of his office.
~*~*~
Lying at the bottom of the pile in the hallway, Amanda groaned and buried her face into the carpet.
"I say again, if I ever EVER suggest playing that darn game again, KILL ME!"
Kitty and Rogue moved off of her to stand and help her to her feet outside the Professor's closed office door.
"You got it and the same goes for me," Rogue said.
"Ditto. I've liked totally learned my lesson," Kitty vowed.
"Sorry about our little prank last week," Rogue turned to apologize to Kitty.
"I had it coming. I'm sorry about what I did last night."
The girls accepted each other's apologies with a hug and smile.
"There's a bright side to my prank though. Logan sure got all possessive at seeing you naked like that and carried you out of the room. That's a definite sign he's into you," Kitty told Rogue.
"What did he ever do with that note, I wonder?"
Amanda nearly choked as she realized what she just confessed.
"What do you mean?" Rogue demanded.
"Wait, like, this so is not the place to have this kind of talk. Let's get to my room."
~*~*~
As they had many times in the month since that memorable study session, Amanda, Rogue and Kitty were gathered together in the latter's room.
"Ok now, spill it, Sefton," Rogue demanded from where she sat on the bed looking down at Amanda on the floor.
"There's really not much to tell, Rogue. After our prank on Kitty, I had Kurt sneak into your room and find the envelope because I remembered you hadn't given it to Logan like I dared and wanted to make sure he got it."
"You gave it to Logan?"
"Yes."
"And told him it was from me, didn't you?"
Amanda nodded cautiously at Rogue's question and wondered what the smile breaking out on the other girl's face could mean.
"That's why he was acting like that!"
"Who was acting like what?" Kitty asked.
Rogue just smiled more and shook her head to indicate that was a secret she was keeping.
No matter how much Amanda and Kitty demanded or pleaded her lips remained sealed.
Until Amanda got desperate enough to ask, "Would you tell us if I dared you?"
The question soon had all three girls rolling around laughing as it came so close to breaking the vows they'd all made never to play truth or dare again.
"Ok, ok, I'll tell no need to start all that again!"
But as Rogue opened her mouth to spill the beans about her relationship with Logan, Kurt teleported into the room to claim his girlfriend.
Amanda tried to get herself a few more minutes to learn Rogue's secret, but Kurt was impatient to know what the Professor had wanted and wouldn't relent.
After they left Kitty tried to Rogue to go ahead and just tell her, but the other girl refused saying it would only be fair to tell them both at the same time and the time to tell had passed.
Laughing, Rogue fled the room leaving Kitty to flop back on her bed, cursing Kurt and wondering what her friend might have been going to say.
