Disclaimer: Don't you people understand?!?!?!?! I own nadda and nadda I own.

OK, first note- pflegeschwester means foster sister in German. Second note- I'm very mad at myself for talking so long to get to the actual dance, but I *promise* it'll be in Chap 8! ****************************************************************************

Kurt was sitting on his balcony when he heard a knock at the door. Teleporting over there, he opened the door to see Scott.
"Kurt, can I talk to you for a moment?" he asked.
"Ja, come in" Kurt replied. Scott walked in the room and sat down on the bed. Kurt closed the door and sat beside him.
"Jean told about the 'plan' you had to get Lance and Kitty together" Scott said, sounding more like he was Kurt's father then his peer.
"You didn't tell ze professor, right?" Kurt asked quickly.
"No, not yet, but I think we-"
"Shouldn't!"
"No Kurt, we should. And you should really call this whole thing off"
"Vhy?" Kurt asked "and don't say 'because zey should get togezer by zemselves' because zey von't!"
"Well, maybe they won't, but they shouldn't-"
"Vhy?"
"Because Kitty could get herself in trouble! The Brotherhood can't be trusted, especially Alvers!" Scott raised his voice.
"Vhy not?" Kurt retorted, raising his voice even louder "I zink it is quite clear zat he loves Kitty, genuinely, and he vould *never* try to hurt her!"
"Kurt! Listen to me, Alvers may have seemed to love Kitty, but that was a long time ago! Maybe it's all a trap, what if he wants to hurt her, or us? He's been our enemy since we all came here, and I wouldn't trust-"
"SCOTT!" Kurt shouted, getting the other's immediate attention "I know you're not ze type who vould be zis vay, but you're letting your prejudice block your vision! So vhat if Alvers is part of ze Brotherhood? I never said I liked him zat much either, but he's been head over heels for Kitty before either of them knew vhat a mutant vas! I could see any of ze other Brotherhood members, but I can't see how you can accuse him of trying to hurt her! You've seen him around her Scott- use common sense!"
"Kurt, I-" Scott started to reply, but found he had nothing to say. He stood up and walked to the doorway, but before he left the room he mumbled "You're right" under his breath. And Kurt, having very good ears, heard it.

Pietro was lounging gloomily in his bedroom when his cell phone rang. Taking great effort to move his arm, he answered it.
"Hello?" he answered, with none of his usual zeal. The voice on the other end of the phone spoke.
"Tabby?" Pietro said "Yeah, this is him...what?...well sure...yeah...of course! Of course I'll go!...You'll meet me at 7:30...okay, bye!" Pietro gloomy mood was instantly transformed. *I've got a date! I've got a date!* He thought, while dancing around happily. Then he rushed off to rub it in his teammate's faces.

"Kurt, it's okay! Ah'm fine!" Rogue said to her brother for about the twentieth time.
"I still think you need a date, pflegeschwester"
"It's not gonna kill me Kurt, Ah'll survive."
"You sure? Zere's no von you vant to ask?"
"Believe me Kurt, if there was I would ask him."
"I don't believe you!"
"Then start believin'"
"Okay" Kurt said "now, today is Thursday, ze dance is Saturday"
"Ah think we both already new that"
"*And*" Kurt ignored Rogue "Tabby and Pietro are going togezer, so everyone has a date except for Toad."
"What are the chances of Kitty asking *him*?"
"Virtually impossible" Kurt answered.
"So now what do we do?"
"Vait for either Lance or Kitty to ask ze other to ze dance"
"And what if they don't? We've only got two days!"
"Vhat if ve got zem both to go ze dance separately and zen see if zey'll dance togezer?" Kurt suggested. Rogue shrugged.
"Ah guess we don't have that many options"

Todd was sulking on the couch, watching the worst teenager soap opera in the world. He didn't know why he was watching it, the story of two freshmen finding love together didn't help his mood at all.
"Hey" Lance said as he walked in, sulking too "what're you watching?"
"Some crap about two idiots" Todd answered. Lance focused his attention on the TV too see if the show was as idiotic as Todd said. He watched as two unnaturally attractive teenagers kissed, and then the show ended.
"See, crap" Todd said. Lance sat down on the couch, pushing Todd over.
"So Wanda turned you down?" Lance said for the sake of making conversation "When'd you figure that out, the first time you asked or the hundredth?"
"Shut up" Todd retorted "it's not like *you* have any luck with girls!" Lance glared.
"So tell me Lance, when'd you figure out she didn't like you: the first time you asked, or the hundredth-?" the amphibian-like mutant was cut short by the sudden earthquake and Lance storming out of the room.
"Temper, temper" Todd said under his breath. ****************************************************************************

Dee Saylors- Unfortunately, there shall be no hog tying in this fic, but that doesn't mean I can't do it in another story...*insert maniacal laugh* Also, if you want to go over to the mansion and do it yourself, I'm sure no one would mind (except Jean and Scott that is)

?_?- Jean forgives you, she is currently mad at Scott for saying that Kurt wouldn't listen to her (she took it as a sexist remark for some reason) Lance continues to be happy.
