I don't condone drinking. In fact, I abhor it. However, I thought it made for a fun plot line. Don't drink! Do you hear me! Only in fantasy fic-land!!

I'm a real wild one,

And I like wild fun.

In a world gone crazy,

 Every thing seems hazy.

I'm a wild one.

Ooh yeah,

I'm a wild one.

Gotta break it loose,

Gotta keep it movin wild,

Gotta keep it swingin baby,

I'm a real wild child.

The Next morning came early for Callie. She rolled over with the comforter wrapped around her neck. She fought viciously to free herself and succeeded in falling off of the bed.

"OoOww" She groaned. She reached around on the dresser. Water, Water what'd I do with my water. Ugh. She stuck her eyes up level with the table. Note? I don't remember putting a note there.

Cal,

Here's some aspirin for your headache.

I love you,

Scott

Yummy, aspirin. I love my brother. Callie grabbed the bottle, pulled her hair away from her face, and wrenched her blanket off her bed. Wrapped in the blanket and armed with her aspirin, she descended the stairs.

Scott smiled. He had some minor bandages in various places, presumably from the burns. Callie slunk down the stairs dragging her blanket behind her.

"I see you got my present." Scott said with a smile.

"Yep. Coffee?" Callie mumbled. Scott pointed at the fresh pot of coffee in the corner. "Thanks." Callie said softly kissing Scott's cheek as she walked to the coffee.

She heartily downed a couple cups of coffee and quickly swallowed a couple of aspirin.

"Mornings aren't too good for you?"

Callie looked up. It was Kurt. He smiled. She shook her head. He poured himself a cup of coffee.

"I'm about to head upstairs." He looked at her for a second. "Do you want to come?"

"I'm going to change my clothes but, I'll meet you upstairs in a couple minutes Ok?" Callie smiled, happy to have found a friend. She went to her room and put on a black shirt and blue jeans. She pulled her hair back again more neatly. The common room, as it was affectionately called, was down the hall. It was the more casual version of the living room. The living room downstairs was full of dark wood and Victorian furniture. It was for nicer occasions such as, meeting one's parents or houseguests. The common room was on more than one occasion a mess. It had a TV and a big overstuffed couch as well as other things, a video game system, a closet full of board games, and a mini-fridge that stayed empty (usually because when it was restocked, all the contents were drank in a day). Callie strode into the common room. Kitty was in the corner, chatting away on her cell phone. Kurt was playing Video games with, of all people, Gambit and Rogue.

"Callie ve have got a free controller if you vant to play." Kurt smiled.

"Yeah, ah'm tired of being the only girl." Rogue laughed.

"Or are ya' scared petit caméléon?" Gambit added, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not scared. What did you call me?" Callie asked as she sat down and picked up the controller.

"Little chameleon." Gambit smiled.

Callie played for hours and then the group went out for lunch. All in all the day was perfect. Later Gambit and Rogue left. Rogue was to go to her post at the med lab and Gambit was to go… well he never said where he was going. Callie and Kurt weren't stupid though. They knew where the couple was going. Callie and Kurt were watching TV in the common room.

"Hey. Vhat are you thinking so hard about?" Kurt asked.

Callie shrugged.

"Oh, Ok. If you don't vant to tell me. I have vays of making you talk." He raised an eyebrow.

"No. Don't even think about it." Callie said eyes widening. For a moment, Kurt looked innocent and pretended to be watching TV. Callie never saw it coming. Kurt reached over and began to tickle her ferociously. At first, Callie laughed but then she cried out in pain.

Kurt's brow furrowed. "Are you alright?"

"My side. It hurts." She said as Kurt helped her to her feet.

"I told you to go to the med lab."

"I guess I forgot… The Med lab?!? Oh my gosh, I did forget. I was supposed to go visit Bobby at five! It's nearly a quarter after!" Callie panicked.

"Calm down, I'll teleport you over there." Kurt said. He took her hand and BAMF! She was standing in front of the Lab.

Callie rushed into the lab.

"Hey," she said softly. Bobby looked pretty bad. He was bruised and he looked barely coherent. He smiled seeing her come in. She took his hand in hers and gently massaged it. He sighed softly and mouthed thanks. She ruffled her fingers through his hair.

"I'm sorry but Mr. Drake needs to go have some tests run." Dr.McCoy said softly.

"But, I just got here." Callie persisted.

"I'll be done with him in about half an hour. You can come see him then." He smiled lightly.

Callie walked out into the hall and down to the common room. Everyone was there including… Jubilee.

"Where've you been?" Rogue asked. Callie shook her head. Rogue suddenly became aware Jubilee was standing by. "Oh, Nowhere? That's what I thought."

"Really? I could've sworn the little whore came from the direction of the med lab." Jubilee interjected.

"Chere, I would suggest you watch your language." Gambit said looking down on her.

"Buzz off swamp rat. This is between me and this poor excuse for gutter filth."

"Sticks and Stones, Jubilee. I really don't care what you have to say."

Callie turned to leave.

"You're nothing but has-been. And you never were that good to begin with." Jubilee started. "Right Kitty?," She elbowed Kitty, "Right?" She glared menacingly at Kitty.

"Right. Has-been." Kitty nodded.

"Look Jubilee, go get some real friends and quit bullying Kitty." Callie said rolling her eyes.

"No one in the school, except for maybe Bobby, has the intelligence or class to hang out with me."

"And me right, Jubes?" Kitty added

"No,"Jubilee said abruptly "And how many times have you been told are only allowed to call me Jubilation Lee or Jubilee?"

"Intelligence? Has someone been vatching Sesame Street? It has four whole syllables!" Kurt retorted.

"Can it elf." Jubilee snapped.

"Jubilee, You are a bully. You have no friends. You annoy me. Do us all a favor and go away." Callie said dully.

"Kitty's my friend right Kitt?" Jubilee said quickly. Kitty had suddenly phased herself through the floor.

"I'm outta here." Callie responded.

Callie went downstairs. She was thirsty after her row with Jubilee and she needed a coke. What she found was Kitty. She was sitting at the counter crying. Callie said nothing at first. Kitty sobbed louder and louder until…

"Kitty! Stop crying. Please." Callie ruffled her fingers through her own hair. Kitty sniffled and looked up at her.

"I know what will make you feel better. Don't tell anyone though, Ok?"

Callie whipped out a bottle of Jack Daniels. "Kitty meet my friend Jack. He's been living in Wolvie's personal stash. He goes great with Coke." Kitty nodded. And Callie poured them two glasses.

After the bottled of Jack, came martinis, cocktails, and most anything They could find in the bar.

Several ounces of alcohol and hours later, Kurt decided he needed a midnight snack. Gambit and Rogue decided they were hungry too and the three walked down to the kitchen only to find a very drunken Kitty and Callie.

"Oh hello –hic- Kurt, -hic- Rogue –hic- Gammmm-bit" Then Callie burst into giggles.

"My name is kit-hic- kit-hic- kititity. And this –hic- is jack –hic-" Kitty said pointing to the bottle as she started to giggle.

"Shhh!" Callie whispered. "He's her –hic- boyfriend." They were both in hysterics now laughing and incoherently talking to each other.

"This can't be good." Kurt said softly.

"We'd better get 'em upstairs before someone finds 'em. 'specially Callie. Scott'll kill her if he finds her three sheets to the wind." Rogue hissed.

"I think she's a bit further gone than three sheets." Kurt said raising an eyebrow.

"Gambit say five. Maybe seven." Remy nodded. "Chere and Gambit get Kitty. You get Callie."

Kurt nodded. He figured it must be late because Remy was no longer using pronouns.

"C'mon Cal. Let's go" Kurt said softly hoisting her up, into his arms.

"What if –hic- I don't want to –hic- go?" She snickered.

"Too bad." Kurt said Bamfing her upstairs before she could protest.

"You know,-hic- since you're he -hic- he -hic- here… You should come in!" she giggled. Kurt shook his head. He Bamfed them inside her room her sat her on the bed and took her shoes off. He went to tuck her under the covers.

"Kurt you know what? I love you." Callie slurred.

"I love you too Callie but you need to sleep." He tried to tuck her in again.

"No really Kurt. Marry me." She leaned in to kiss him. He pushed her away.

"Sleep or I tell Scott to come check on you." He barked.

"Okay you win." She added quickly before retching to vomit.

"Oh no you don't" He said grabbing the trash can behind him and whipping it under her. She threw up for a few minutes before passing out in her bed. Kurt finally tucked her in, and carried the trash can downstairs, washed it and then went to bed.

The next morning, Callie and Kitty slunk downstairs at a whopping two in the afternoon.

"Aspirin! Aspirin!" Callie called out.

"Callie! Are you alright?! Are you sick?!" Scott yelled running to his sister. She put her hand on his mouth.

"Not so loud." She hissed.

"Too much light," Kitty moaned.

Scott raised an eyebrow. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you two were.." He trailed off, as his eyes got wide. "Callie you didn't!? Tell me you didn't!"

Kitty turned to Callie "This is a good time to make an exit."

The two girls turned on their heels and ran to the common room. Jubilee was  standing in the door. They turned and ran in the opposite direction. Scott met them in the hall. They were trapped Scott to one side and Jubilee to the other. Suddenly Jubilee tackled Callie. Callie let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"I didn't hit her that hard." Jubilee said standing up.

Callie was clutching her side and sobbing. Scott scooped her up and ran with her down the hall to the med lab. Halfway there he met Kurt, who teleported her straight there.

~Later~

Callie had broken two ribs. Storm gave her several pain killers and tranquilizers and she was currently out cold. Scott had kept a silent vigil over her for a few hours. If this doesn't keep her from drinking again, her double danger room sessions with Logan will. He wasn't too pleased that she drank his entire liquor stash.

Scott stayed until Storm came in, relieving him of his post.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Callie woke up feeling more groggy than she had the previous day. Things were blurry at first, but eventually the room came into focus. The med lab.

Oh my…. 'How many times has he saved you today 8? 10?'  callie could hear John making fun of her in her head. She couldn't stay here. It would prove him right. What am I wearing? Hospital gown. Okay not Versace but it will do.I'll just… run out the door down the hall and to my room. I'll put on real clothes and then…uh pretend to be better I guess.

She sat up, and crawled to the end of her bed. Oh wow this is harder than I thought. I feel like I have weights in my legs. She leaned off the end of the bed. There was no one else here but Storm. She had her back turned to Callie. She slunk off her bed and sneaked down the hall. She peered around the corner. No one. She started down the hall when she heard Jubilee yell

"What are YOU doing out of the med lab?" she started to Scream for other people to come get Callie. Callie took off running.

She ran straight into Gambit at the end of the hallway.

"Gambit? Please don't just act like you didn't see me and let me go. Please."

"Sorry, petit, I can't" He grabbed her and to his surprise she started to kick furiously, even though it hurt more than she'd like to admit.

It took the combined efforts of Scott, Remy, Bobby, and Kurt to get her back to the med lab.

Callie fought furiously and ended up being strapped to the bed with, of all the people to guard her, Logan.

A/N- The first ending sucked. I know. It sounded like some waa-waa version of Dawson's Creek. I like this better, it plays into the story better. Oh and in case you haven't figured it out, this IS AU all the way.

Jack Daniels (the Jack Daniels company)

Raspberry Mocha latte (Joe mugs)

X-men (marvel)

You get the idea.
