SCENE 13

The Institute Kitty's bedroom

(KITTY and LANCE are lying on the bed, surrounded by fake medical- equipments)

LANCE:

That was fabulous.

KITTY:

And I like thought the first time was good.

LANCE:

Love is definitely uplifting.

*WE KISS IN A SHADOW (The King and I)*

*LANCE*

We kiss in a shadow,

We hide from the moon,

Our meetings are few,

And over too soon.

We speak in a whisper,

Afraid to be heard;

When people are near,

We speak not a word.

Alone in our secret,

Together we sigh,

For one smiling day to be free

To kiss in the sunlight

And say to the sky:

"Behold and believe what you see!

Behold how my lover loves me!"

*KITTY*

We speak in a whisper,

Afraid to be heard;

When people are near,

*LANCE*

We speak not a word.

Alone in our secret,

Together we sigh,

For one smiling day to be free

*BOTH*

To kiss in the sunlight

And say to the sky:

"Behold and believe what you see!

Behold how my lover loves me!"

*KITTY*

To kiss in the sunlight

And say to the sky:

"Behold and believe what you see!

Behold how my lover loves me!"

(KITTY and LANCE start to make out)

ROGUE:

Ahem! You know, Kitty, some of us are trying to sleep.

KITTY:

Like, what are you doing here?

ROGUE:

We share a bedroom, remember?

KITTY:

Oh yeah. But it's not like you never do with Gabriel, while I'm in the room.

ROGUE:

That's totaly different. At least Gabriel doesn't scream like Lance.

LANCE:

I bet if that blowup-doll could scream, then it would.

ROGUE:

Fine! I'll go sleep in the toilet, again!

*~*~*~*~*

Somewhere else in The Institute

(JEAN and SCOTT are watching Titanic, or some other stereotypical chick- flick)

*LET'S PLAY A LOVE SCENE (Fame)*

*SCOTT*

We always seem to be

Sister and brotherly

It's such a lovely way to be

And I want to say

What it means to me

How I could ever be the same without you

And something more that I know

Though I never could show

How it kept right on growing

The way I know I really feel about you

The way I know I'll always fell about you

Why can't we, why can't we, why can't we try

*BOTH*

To play a love scene

We don't need the violins to play a love scene

Where we see how love begins

If we could find a way to start

And learn to play the part

A perfect scene from a play unknown

Let's play a love scene, of our own

*JEAN*

And I want to say what it means to me

How I could never be the same without you

And something more that I know

Though I never could show

How it kept right on growing

The way I know I really feel about you

The way I know I'll always feel about you

Why can't we, why can't we, why can't we try

*BOTH*

To play a love scene

We don't need the violins to play a love scene

Where we see how love begins

Find a way to start and play it from the heart

A perfect scene from a play unknown

Let's play a love scene

Love scene of our own

SCOTT:

Hey, I know! Let's use the Danger Room!

JEAN:

Scott, now is not a good time for a work-out.

SCOTT:

Any time can be work-out time. Besides, that's not what I mean. We'll have a romantic moment in the Danger Room.

JEAN:

Right. Are feeling well?

*~*~*~*~*

After a while, in the Danger Room

(SCOTT and JEAN are sitting in a virtual garden, there's fountain, rosebushes, trees, you know, romantic stuff)

JEAN:

I never knew you could actually do something usefull with this place.

SCOTT:

I'm glad the Professor programed this place in the system.

JEAN:

What would the Professor do with a program like this?

SCOTT:

Who knows? He's a rich, old genius. Anyway this is great.

JEAN:

Yeah, and the virtual lobster isn't making me fat.

SCOTT:

Your eyes are so beautiful. They make me want to sing.

JEAN:

Go ahead, it's not like we haven't been spontaneously bursting into song during the last few days.

*THERE IS MORE TO LOVE (Aspect of Love)*

*SCOTT*

There is more to love,

So much more,

Than simply making love --

That's easy.

Gazing into eyes,

Pretty eyes,

Which could be any eyes --

That's crazy.

Hands are just hands,

A face is just a face ...

They come and go --

They're easy to replace ...

There is more to love,

So much more,

Than moon-struck escapades --

That's nothing.

There is peace of mind,

So much peace,

In quiet company --

That's something.

Everyone but her

Seems wrong for me ...

Every time I feel

There has to be

More ...

If I can hear

The music I heard then,

I'll never let

It fade away again ...

There is more to love,

So much more,

Than simply making love --

That's easy.

Gazing into eyes,

Pretty eyes,

Which could be any eyes --

That's crazy.

Now each time

Love reaches out to me,

I can only feel

There has to be

So much more

To love ... JEAN:

You know what's weird? We're just sitting here, while there's an angry mob somewhere out there that wants us dead. And Kurt and Todd are missing.

SCOTT:

Maybe we should something about it. But not now.

JEAN:

The mob can wait.

(R-rated stuff happens)

*~*~*~*~*

Still on the romantic hill

(KURT and TODD are lying in eachothers arms)

KURT:

Zis moment is so perfect.

TODD:

I hope it never ends, yo.

(a skunk comes and starts mating with TODD'S leg)

KURT:

Oh God...

TODD:

Can port us back to the Institute now?

KURT:

Not vithout that skunk following.

TODD:

I really wish it stops doing that soon. That has got to be illegal.

KURT:

Oh vell. I still love you, even if a skunk is humping your leg.

Author's Note: Ooh, a homage to Mysterymen, and it kind of makes sense.
