Well howdy y'all. I feel really weird writing this at the end of a humid
and still August day. So I lit a candle, turned the AC WAAAAAY up and
pretended it was December. Just in case you care.didn't think so.
I know Gambit wasn't wearing sunglasses in Ultimate X, but people have to be pretty dumb not to realize what he is. I mean I have never ever seen anyone with red and black eyes. But that's just me. ~~~
He was sittin' there at the foot of the buildin', one knee up to his shoulder. His right leg was straight out so you could see the inside of his trench coat. He was playin' with what seemed to be cards. I had seen him once before that day although I couldn't place where. Probably jus' walkin' around. He was wearin' sunglasses although the snow was comin' down harder then before. His gloves had holes where his fingers stuck out from the black fabric. He had auburn hair that was pulled back into messy ponytail. Strands fell out landing on his face. The black lenses on his sunglasses hid both his expression and the direction he was looking but ah could almost feel a gaze. "Where to now Rogue? Rogue? Rogue? Marie?" shot Kitty furiously "Don' call me that, Shadowcat!" ah said exasperatedly, "Ah hate my name." "What're you looking at over there that's so interesting?" she asked studying the building. She saw the guy sitting about 10 meters away from us. "Oh," She said almost knowingly, "He's cute." He wasn't lookin' in our direction anymore but starring at some farther off sector of the street. As we came nearer he slipped the cards into an invisible trench coat pocket and got to his feet, brushing the snow off of himself. Kitty wanted to go into the overpriced toyshop and as we were going in he was leaving. ah watched him leave, ah also caught site of somethin' red underneath those frames but ignored it as some trick of the light. Inside music was playin' in a continuous loop. It was some dumb kid's song that you learn jus' from standin' in there: "Welcome to our world. Welcome to our world. Welcome to the world of toys!"
"I've got to get my mom something for Chanukah, I'm not going to forget her all together." Kitty said as we ascended the escalator and passed the huge life sized water buffalo stuffed animal that cost over a thousand bucks. Who pays that that much for a toy? Ah thought. "So why are we in a kid's store then?" Ah asked Kitty honestly. "She grew up in Montana, on a horse farm and collects horse stuff to remember those days." Answered Kitty matter-of-factly, "I figured I'd get her eight little things or one huge ass present." "Kitty you ain't gonna by nothing huge ass at this store unless your plannin' on spendin' over a hundred dollars on a horse stuffed animal." I told her truthfully. "Then something medium ass," she said turning over a small stuffed horse that was standing on all fours its long russet mane lay around its ankles. "This'll do." She said shortly. Her hand dove into her jean pocket, "That's funny," Kitty looked dumbstruck, "I had my wallet at Starbucks.I feel like such a tourist!" she dug into all her pockets handing me the smilin' surreal pony. She pulled her coat pockets inside out. "O my god I must have left it at Starbucks!" she gasped. "This horse is kinda freaky lookin' you sure you wanna get it?" ah asked turning the toy around and around in my hands. "Can I borrow some money?" asked Kitty solemnly all of her pockets turned out. "Fine, jus' pay me back when you get the chance." I told her, "You know I did most of my shoppin' weeks ago." "Well la-di-da." Said Kitty pushing the inside of her pockets back in place. The man at the cash register looked warn out. "Merry Christmas," he added after ringing us up. "Shalom," Said Kitty coolly. We left the store together into the now thick snowfall the thick cloud blanket was white and showed no braking point between the clouds. With Kitty's mother's present in hand we walked across the street to the Plaza Hotel.
