Whoot so many reviews, you like this, you really like this!
Mrs. Jean Grey-Summers - Yes, she did, but Evan isn't an X-Man anymore, Kitty, being the second youngest of the main group, is thus now the youngest. See, there IS logic there...you just have to look reeeeeaaaaaly hard.
Anything but ordinary3 - Oh don't worry the Brotherhood will appear, oh yes, not yet, but they will. Tee hee.
Okay guys, i'll be getting a new computer sometme soon, so it may be a day or two before i update, it depends.

Chapter 3 - Living in a material world

"Why are we here again?".
Scott looked sadly at the mall, then at his companions, Jamie, Pyro, Jean and Amara.
"Well, Kitty found out about her top, and Amara and I have to buy her a new one", explained Jean, "as for John and Jamie..i think they want...something to do with stationary".
"We want to make YAMS banners!", said Jamie proudly.
"Yep, that we are", said Pyro, "and we want them in big bright colours too!".
Scott pondered for a brief moment on why John, a 17 year old, would wish to spend his free time making club banners with a 12 year old. He then remembered the mentality of said 17 year old and it made perfect sense, and thus his brain shut off from that thought piece forevermore.
"Fine", he said, "but we have to be carefull with the Professors credit card, it's only here for emergencies and food".
"We know!", said Amara, waving her hand, "we'll be sensible".

DING DONG
Stuart the deliverly boy watched, open mouthed as the door to the Xavier Institute was opened by a giant. There was no other way to describe him. Piotr blinked down at the tiny little man, who had six big cardboard boxes around him.
"Can i be helping you?".
Stuart gaped a little more before clearing his throat.
"Uh..yes", he said, looking at his clipboard, "i have an express overnight deliverly for a Mr Kurt Wagner?".
Piotr glanced at the boxes, then at Stuart. He took a deep breath.
"FUZZY BOY".
Stuart had automatically dove behind a bush when he heard Piotr shouting, he was sure he was going to die. It was then he realised that Piotr was calling for someone and he rather sheepishly climbed out. A few seconds later there was a *bamf* sound from somewhere inside and a teen with blue- black hair poked his head around the huge, huge teen.
"Oh cool, it came!", said Kurt happily.
"...Mr Wagner?", tried Stuart.
"Ja", said Kurt, "oh you people said it vould come quickly, i'm impressed!".
Stuart grinned. Oh yeah, tip person, tip person!!!. He handed Kurt the clipboard to sign, which Kurt did, then pointed at a few boxes.
"Be a bud, Piotr", he said.
Piotr sighed, picking up all six boxes (which Stuart had to take one at a time, on a trolley), and walking into the house. Kurt payed Stuart then blinked as Stuart held out his hand, giving a small cough. Kurt grinned, missinterpreting the qeue for a tip, instead giving Stuart a high five.
"Danke, dude, bye!".
With that, the teen was gone. Stuart blinked, staring at his empty hand.
"Cheepskates", he muttered getting into his van, pausing when he saw a boy shooting electricity out of his hands at a nearby tree....Stuart blinked a few times, before giving a frightened squeal, diving into his van and driving like his life depended on it.
Inside the mansion, Kurt happily opened one of his boxes.
"Weedol?", said Piotr, glancing over Kurt's shoulder, "why would you be wanting weed killer?".
"To get ze killer plant in ze attic", said Kurt matter-of-factly.
"Oh", said Piotr, "....ok".
Piotr backed away from Kurt slowly, before heading for the safety of the common room, leaving Kurt to 'port the weedol, a box at a time, into his room.

Scott sighed sadly. He KNEW this was a bad idea. How was he going to explain this to the Professor?. Jean and Amara had indeed bought Kitty a new top. Then they bought themselves about 20 items of clothing...each, and they were STILL shopping. Pyro and Jamie had indeed bought some stationary, but then they went their sepearte ways and Scott had lost them. He looked up as Pyro appeared, carrying a very large paper bag.
"Where have YOU been?", said Scott, "and where's Jamie?!!".
"The kids' at the pet shop", said John, "hey, wanna see what i got?".
Scott gave a defeated sigh, looking itno the paper bag. He was greeted by the sight of novelty lighters....56 of them.
"Oh dear God.....".
"Cool aren't they?", said Pyro proudly, "i think i found a hobby".
"Good for you", said Scott dryly, before blinking, "wait...did you say that Jamie was in a pet shop?!!!".
Yes, he was, and Jamie Madrox had bought himself a pet....well, it was MORE than one pet. It was multiple pets, just like him! He walked out of the pet shop, whistling happily, carrying his purchase in a big cardboard box. He grinned at Pyro and Scott as he walked over to them, putting his purchase on the floor.
"Did you not hear the Professors 'no pets' rule?", asked Scott, "what do you need a pet for, we have Kurt!".
"Oh these wont take up much room, Scott", said Jamie.
Scott paused.
"These?..as in plural? As in more than one?!!!".
"You can't buy them individually, duh", said Jamie, pulling out a small cardboard package from the box, with what looked like a seed-pack attatched to it, "see? Sea Monkey eggs! I get to hatch them myself!!!"
Scott mulled this over.
"And Sea Monkeys are...?"
Jamie looked at Scott as if he was a fool.
"I'm not even answering that", he said.
"You don't know...do you?", said Scott.
Jamie looked at his feet.
"No, no i don't", he admited, "but they LOOK really cool!. And you only feed them once a week, sometimes two weeks!".
"Well, they can't have cost that much", said Scott, looking at the small cardboard box, "there's not a whole lot ot it".
"Oh that's just the eggs and food!", said Jamie, rummaging around, "i also got the Sea Monkey carry watch, the Sea Monkey space station and the Sea Monkey castle and the....Scott?".
Scott was no longer listening, he was banging his head repeatedly on the table.

Tabby hummed happily to herself as she walked along the hallway, pausing when she heard a thumping sound coming from Kurt's room. Was he having fun with...ugh Amanda while there we no adults around?. Well, she would put a stop to that! She stuck a boom ball into the lock of the door, exploding it open before charging in.
"AH HA, You're so dea....".
She trailed off, staring at Kurt's room before her. There was a small fort around Kurt's bed, made of cardboard boxes. The elf in question was sitting in the middle of his fort, filling dozens of water-guns with weedol.
"Hello Tabby", he said, glancing up at her, "do you vant to join ze battle to save ze planet from ze botanical invaders?".
Tabby thought on this.
"Maybe later", she said, backing out of the room, heading into the kitchen, where Remy was talking on the phone.
"Lots of ice, TONS of it!!", he said, "Gambit had to de-ice his trench coat!".
Tabby chuckled rumaging around in the fridge.
"Does he know about the rug?"
Remy gave Tabby a glare, before continuting with his phone conversation.
"Magneto, Gambit wants a pay rise...and tell Baldy dere isn't enough fire- extingushers here. Yeah, Goodbye!".
Remy put the phone down and stared at it.
"Gambit hate his job".
***
A little while later, the shoppers had returned home. Kitty found the replacement top acceptable and then she and Jean went to go try on all the new clothes. Jamie had locked himself in his room to go about creating his Sea Monkeys. Pyro was showing off his lighters to Amara and Gambit.
"Look what THIS one does!".
Pyro flicked on a harmless looking black lighter. There was nothing for a few minutes then with a fhwooof! a HUGE flame flickered up. (AN this is an actual lighter, my bud Garry owns it, we use it to burn beermats..it really should be a liscensed weapon)
"Oh, please", said Amara rolling her eyes, "i can do that".
As if to prove her point, she switched to her Magma form, making a huge fireball in her hands. Pyro looked at her in sheer amazment for a minute.
"Wow, a girl made of fire!!", he said, then looked at Gambit, "Can we take her home with us? I'll feed her every day, i promise!".
"I am NOT a pet!", snapped Amara, changing herself back.
Pyro grinned at her wildly.
"Oh, think of the cool stuff we could do together!!!", he said, jumping up and down like a kid in a candy store, "we could do WHATEVER we wanted!".
Amara raised an eyebrow.
"Like what?".
"Like steal anything..oh or we could do a Robin Hood thing. I think bandits is the best", said Pyro, then squealed as in idea came to him, "We can be like Bonnie and Clyde....WITH FIRE!!!".
Amara watched him for a long time.
"I think you should seek professional help", she said, walking out of the room.
"And dat would be a put-down", said Remy with a chuckle.
"Awwww", said Pyro sadly, "she could be my living lighter".
"De chere is right", said Remy, "i tink i'm going to look through Xavier's personal numbers, see if Remy can find you a phycyatrist".
****
And there is another chapter done and dusted. Like i said, i don't know when my next update will be, depends on this whole computer thing. Incidentally, i don't know if Pyro is 17 or not, but that's about the age i clock him as. Anyway, do review. Until next time...
