We were interrupted by Dan breaking out laughing. He was still standing over Andy.
"What's wrong?" He managed a "come…see" between laughs. We went over and nearly fell over laughing. Andy was covered in very girly make up. He had dark red lipstick and purple eyeshadow, and also some bright blush. After we controlled our laughter enough to look around, we noticed that all the guys had had make up put on them. Evan had a frilly pink bonnet on. Scott had had eyes with long eyelashes drawn on his glasses in permanent marker. Toad had a fake moustache and goatee in marker as well, along with the make up. Kurt's hair was dyed pink. All of them had varying amounts of glitter on them. As soon as we had stopped laughing, we tried to wake them up. A few people were already waking up on their own.
Logan arrived in the x jet. We helped bring people in. Most the brotherhood was still out, but those that were awake weren't trying to stop us. Logan raised his eyebrows as Liz and Good Dan climbed in too, but I just nodded.
After we had taken off, I turned to them and asked, "So what do you guys do?"
Liz charged up her hands again. She turned to where Jenn was laying. The light went from her into Jenn, and Jenn seemed to glow. A second later Jenn opened her eyes.
"Hi Liz, what are you doing here? Uh, where *is* here?"
Liz had moved to Andy and woken him up too. He was still in his makeup and no one really had the heart to tell him. Then she woke up staci. They asked pretty much the same questions that Jenn had. Liz was starting to look tired.
"The fight was a draw, and now were on the jet going back to the mansion. Liz and Dan are mutants." Jenn and Andy still looked slightly confused, but was strangely perky for someone who had just woken up.
Liz tried to explain what she could do. "I basically can heal people, but it does take a lot out of me. I can also drain the energy out of a person." She held up her hands again and this time they glowed black.
"How bout you Dan? Dan?" Dan had disappeared. Andy waved his hand through the air where Dan had been.
"I'm still here." Dan's voice came from about where Andy's hand was waving.
Andy jerked his hand back and then toppled over because of the ripple that had accompanied Jenn's squeak. Dan reappeared.
"It's the invisible Dan!" Andy shouted from the floor, getting up.
"That was bad, Andy." Jenn said as she knocked him back to the floor with a small ripple. We had reached the mansion and everyone had regained consciousness by now. We all trudged back inside and while Liz and Dan went to meet the professor, Jenn, Staci and I went into Jenn's room to search for Priya. She was sitting there on the bed.
"Priya, where were-" Jenn was cut off by several loud, and some high pitched, screams. Priya fell off the bed laughing. A few seconds later Kurt and Andy burst through the door. They, and probably the other guys, had finally noticed their, uh, decorations.
"Priya what did you do to us? I know it was you!" It's a good thing the other guys hadn't figured out it was priya, or we might have had another fight.
"And Pietro." Put in Kurt.
"Yeah, I saw you and him run off."
"Hey, I don't like what you're implying. We ran off and borrowed Kitty's make up and then we knew you'd kill us when you saw, so we went and got sodas instead. We got back before even you guys did."
"We can still kill you. Look what you did to my hair!" Kurt said, very distraught.
"I can fix that." Priya said with an evil grin. She grabbed him by his shirt collar, dragged him into the bathroom, and practically threw him in the bathtub, which was half full with water already.
Kurt made a high pitch "EEEE!" and said, "The water's *freezing*" Then Priya turned on the shower. The pink came out of his hair immediately. He jumped out of the bathtub, getting water all over the room in the process. He looked like a half drowned kitten. We all nearly fell over laughing, especially when Andy said "Here, Kitty Kitty."
Kurt shot us all an evil look and then said "You have strange friends, mein leibe."
"I *did* try to warn you about that, mein kase."
A tremor ran through his body, shaking off most the water. Except now his fur was all poufy.
"Poor little Kurty." I told him. "Now!" Priya shouted. Jenn sent off a ripple that knocked Andy into the bathtub. His scream was twice as high as Kurt's had been. Then Priya turned on the water, hitting him in the face. "PRIYA!" He phased through the tub, taking about half the water with him. "Glad it's not my bathroom." Kurt muttered. Andy was now chasing Priya around the bathroom and out into the bedroom. She tried to slam the door in his face. "Priya, he can phase, remember!" We followed them out into the room just as Kitty came in. Priya froze as Andy tackled her. Of course, he had been planning for her to keep move a little farther forward and instead tackled the nightstand.
"Uh, like, what are you guys doing?"
"Not-thing." Priya said, trying to looking innocent. Andy merely groaned from under the nightstand.
"Priya pissed off a leprechaun." Staci put in. Kitty looked confused for a minute and then decided to ignore it.
"Did one of you guys, like, see my make up?" We all stared at Priya, who tried to look even more innocent.
"Priya, what did you do to my make-up." Kitty said, trying to stay calm, but failing miserably. Priya looked pointedly at Andy and Kurt. Realization dawned on Kittty.
"Oh, well, if you were the one who did that, then I don't mind."
"Not just her, but her and *Pietro*." I said.
"Beth, you are so dead for that!"
"Um, its getting kinda late, so maybe we should all leave."
"Priya, I vow revenge!" Andy said.
"Whacha gonna do? Send all your little leprechaun friends after me?"
Andy just smiled. "You see the Pink before you cry."
"You wouldn't dare put me in anything pink."
"Not clothes, well, maybe a bonnet, but just remember, I can borrow Kitty's make-up too." Priya's eyes went wide.
When we all left, she was sitting on a corner of her bed against the wall and rocking back and forth saying "seven hours" continuously. It *was* 7 hours til we had to go to school the next morning.
"Like, what was that about?" Kitty asked.
"Oh, just a little leprechaun style revenge." Andy told her with an evil grin.
Liz and Good Dan came up the stairs. Liz spoke first. "We've just got done talking with the professor, and he's said we could stay! I'm to bunk with Kitty and Jean, and Dan is going with Andy and Kurt."
Andy and Dan both got evil grins on their faces. "Think of all the torture we can do…"
Priya wasn't the only one who had a hard time sleeping that night. I kept having the same nightmares, er memories. Of Logan, the lab, and him sitting in that chair, horribly beaten. I woke up and looked at the clock. 4:00. I sighed. Well, at least theres time to work on my power ball. By the time Rogue's alarm went off, I had made it so I could move my right arm.
Later, I was walking down the hall talking to Amara when we saw Priya. She was twitching and muttering to herself. "Whats wrong with her?"
"The leprechaun keeps her up at night."
Amara game me a look, but didn't ask. When we got to the kitchen, Andy was grabbing the last box of Lucky Charms, just as Kurt bamfed in. "Hey, that's my cereal!"
"Not anymore!"
"Can't I just have a little?"
"There's hardly any left and its mine!"
"Not if I steal it." Andy ran away and Kurt chased after him.
"He he he. Catch me lucky charms, they're magically delicious!"
Kurt pounced on Andy, but Andy phased through him and Kurt wound up smacking into the ground. Andy went and filled a bowl with the last of the cereal and
some milk before Kurt got up. Kurt went to steal the bowl as Andy began to eat it, but his hand went straight through the bowl. He shot Andy a look and said "No fair!" Andy
shrugged and smiled, eating his Lucky Charms "mmmm bigger marshmallows."
That day at school we started seeing annoucements for Homecoming, a big dance at our school. "I think we all know who were going with" I said to Priya, Jenn, Kitty, and Staci. "Not me." Staci said glumly.
"Don't worry, we'll find you someone."
"I don't want just *anyone*, you know."
But Priya opened her locker and screamed. Kitty said "Awwwwwwwwww."
