Disc- I don't own the original x-men!
"Kuuuuuurt!" Marie yelled in a sing-song voice as the fuzzy blue man turned around.
Uh oh, she really wants something. She acts the way Rita did when we were both teens. "Yes?"
"Can you help me please? I need to know how to speak German." Marie smiled sweetly as Kurt sighed.
"Vhy do you need to know Zerman?" Kurt looked puzzled as Kitty phased through the wall behind Kurt with a tray of cookies, making him jump.
"Because, the teachers wont let me take French as a foreign language because mom is French and she taught me how to speak French a few years ago, and I hate Spanish, so I thought you could help me with German." Marie smiled sweetly again, hoping he would help.
"Fine, I'll help you, vhat do you need help vith?" Kurt pushed Kitty back into the kitchen, after 13 years, Kitty still couldn't bake and Kurt didn't feel like dying young.
"Thank you so much!" Marie squealed as she grabbed Kurt's arm and dragged him to the rec room, pulling out some paper and a pencil. "I need to know how to say 4 sentences by tomorrow, they just need to be simple."
"Ok, think of the sentences, then I'll help you." Kurt sat back and turned on the T.V, waiting for Marie to think of the sentences.
"My teacher sucks?" she smiled as Kurt looked at her.
"No."
Marie sighed, trying to think of something nice. "Um…my dad is overprotective, I hate schoolwork, cheese is cool, and my friend Kurt rocks." Marie smiled as Kurt shook his head.
"Ze third one is fine. How about zhis, cheese is cool, ze pencil is on ze table, I love my father, and my friend Kurt rocks." Kurt smiled as Marie sighed.
"Fine, those will do for now." Marie smiled as she wrote the sentences down and left room for the translation to German.
"Marie, I'm only going to give you ze answers once so you should pay attention during class next time." Marie nodded as Kurt wrote down the answers on Marie's page for her.
She looked down at her paper and raised an eyebrow, German was such an odd language:
Cheese is Cool: Käse ist kühl
The pencil is on the table: Der Bleistift ist auf dem Tisch
I love my father: Ich liebe meinen Vater
My friend Kurt rocks: Mein Freund Kurt schaukelt
"Thanks Kurt!" Marie ran up to her room and threw her notebook aside, jumping on her bed and taking her phone off the cradle, dialing Aaron's number: "What?"
"Hey Aaron, what kind of homework did we get in math?"
"Sure that's the reason you called?" Marie knew Aaron was grinning on the other end.
"Yes I am, now what's the math homework?"
"Nothing, we got off lucky tonight, mainly because your sister decided to run her fingernails down the caulk board until Ms. Brown forgot about the homework."
"Thanks, bye." Marie put the phone down on the cradle and stood up, walking down the hall to Shawn's room, only to find that he wasn't there.
"Shawn's on a date with Carrie." Marie turned around to face Rita.
"Ok mom." Marie looked down for a second then walked downstairs as the phone rang, and she kicked it up. "Yes?"
"Hey Marie! Wanna, like, go to that party tonight? It's Friday so your parents shouldn't mind." Roxy, Marie's best friend, said through the phone.
"Wait, let me ask, otherwise my dad will freak if I just leave for some party." Marie put the phone against her shoulder. "Mom!"
Rita came running downstairs when she heard Marie yell. "What is it Marie?"
"Mom, can I please, please, please go to a party tonight?" Marie gave her mother sad, puppy dog eyes, the way she used to do when she was 3.
"Oh alright, but I want to see you before you leave." Marie sighed and put the phone back to her ear, telling Roxy she can go.
"Great, pick you up in an hour!" Marie hung the phone up and ran upstairs to get dressed.
And hour later Marie came downstairs wearing a black tank top and tight black hip huggers. She walked around, looking for her mother until she ran into Jason, who just decided to stare at her outfit like the 11 year old he was. "Jason, where's my mother?"
"Um, I think she's in the garage."
"Thanks." Marie ran past Jason into the garage and found her mother.
"Hey mom, I'm gonna leave in a few minutes."
Rita sighed as she saw Marie's clothes, knowing that if Logan saw it he wouldn't be happy. "Fine, go, just don't let your father see you." Marie smiled and hugged her mom.
"Thank you so much mom." Marie walked back upstairs for a second when she ran into Lynx. "Hey Lynx, I'm going to a party, wanna come?"
"Um…sure." Lynx walked downstairs and grabbed a coke, drinking it as maire came back downstairs and looked at Lynx's clothes.
"Lynx, don't you wear anything other then those jeans with the holes in them and that over shirt to hide your tube top? It's not really party stuff." Marie rolled her eyes, Lynx never did have good taste in clothes.
"No, it's good for a party, your outfit is the bad one, I mean are you trying to get laid tonight or something?" Lynx glared at Marie as she finished off her coke and sat on the couch.
"Or something." Marie smiled and Lynx sighed. "Why don't you ask Tyler to come?"
"Good idea, I don't wanna be stuck watching you flirt with 10 guys at the same time." Lynx smiled at Marie and walked upstairs, knowing Marie would yell at her afterward. "Hey Tyler, wanna come to a party with me and Marie?" Lynx stuck her head into Tyler's room without even knocking.
"Sure, I'll be right there." Lynx nodded and walked downstairs again, sitting on the couch.
"What did you mean by that last comment?"
"I meant your beginning to act like a slut Marie, I mean, look at the outfit you tried to wear the other day, when Shawn was supposed to cover for you." Lynx told Marie as Tyler came out of his room in roughly the same clothes as Lynx, but with a white shirt instead of a tank top.
"What is it with you two and holes in your jeans? I swear, you act the way Lance did when I was a baby." Marie rolled her eyes as she took out a nail file and began to file her nails, though Marie had sharp claws like Logan, she rarely used them.
"What do you know about the brotherhood Marie?" Marie turned around and saw her mother standing there.
"Nothing, I've just seen pictures, like the one of you and that silver-haired boy at the winter formal." Rita was surprised to hear this, she didn't know that the picture had been saved.
"Well, I haven't seen any of them for a while, it surprises me too, that Sabretooth or Magneto haven't come back, though I do see Pietro from time to time." Rita thought about the by who used to be her best friend 13 years ago, and to this day he was still giving girls that cocky grin of his and winning them over.
"Hey, don't tell me you've forgotten all about me." Almost as if he had been right there listening, Pietro appeared net to rita with his arm draped over her shoulders."
"Pietro? Why are you here? And what's happened to your father? Has he and Sabretooth dropped off the face of the planet?" Rita looked happy to see Pietro, well, until Logan would come and find him here.
"Um… mom, Roxy's outside waiting so were gonna go." Marie, Tyler, and Lynx walked outside and got into Roxy's jeep.
Rita and Pietro sat on the couch and talked for most of the night, over the past 13 years Pietro had been doing work for his father in the UK and couldn't come visit, while Magneto and Sabretooth were still on Asteroid M. devising a plan to get Rita and her children to come back to their side.

While at the party Lynx and Tyler had lost track of Marie, she had gone off with some guy a few hours ago and they really didn't care much. Finally Marie came back to the two, with a very flushed face.
"What did you do Marie?" Lynx raised an eyebrow at her sister. "Please tell me you didn't do anything Logan wouldn't do?"
"Of course not! Daddy's done it before." Lynx's and Tyler's mouth fell open when they heard what Marie said, and could only assume the worst.
"I told you! I told you that if you wore that dam outfit you would end up getting laid!" Lynx stood up, yelling at Marie, knowing that if it was true and Logan and Rita found out, Lynx would be the one getting yelled at for not stopping it.
"It wasn't like that at all! The feeling was mutual. Besides, mom's done it before, why cant I have the same freedom?" Marie said as Lynx grabbed her and Tyler's arms and dragged then outside to talk.
"Because Marie, mom didn't have parents who taught her stuff, and you do! And, she actually liked the person and ended up marrying him, didn't you ever wonder why your half her age? She was 17 when she had you, you moron! Logan will really kill you this time, he wont hold back!" Lynx paced around the alley that she took them to.
"Mom was only 17? Wow, thanks for telling me, I'll have to use that as blackmail IF she finds out. But she wont will she?" Marie glared at Tyler and Lynx.
"But this was your first time right?" Lynx asked as Tyler walked away a bit, not really wanting to be part of their 'girl talk'.
"Yeah, so?" Marie's wings came out as she hovered in the air, sitting on thin air.
"Then you could get pregnant! Did you even know the guy's name?" Lynx sighed, knowing she would end up getting in trouble with Logan in the end.
"Um, so?" Marie was beginning to get out of it.
"Please tell me that you didn't drink enough alcohol to go a bit past your healing factor?" Lynx sighed as Marie nodded.
"Come on Lynx, leave Marie here for a bit and lets take a walk, you need to calm down yourself." Tyler gently grabbed Lynx's arm and steered her towards the street, turning back only to once to tell Marie to stay right there.
"Thanks Tyler, I really needed to get away, I mean, I know Logan will kill me when he finds out that I let Marie go off with some guy, AND get drunk." Lynx sat down on the sidewalk and Tyler sat next to her.
"No you wont, Logan may get mad at you but your mom will protect you, Marie's the older one, your not supposed to look after she, she should look after you." Tyler looked up at the stars, not knowing what to say that would help Lynx.
"I know, but I keep thinking that Logan will hate me now, I've never really fit in as his daughter, he just felt sorry for me and didn't want my real father hanging around here." Lynx looked down into her lap, determined not to cry, she had talked to her father once and broke down during the conversation and began to cry, then he explained that crying was for the weak. Ever since Lynx has been the huge tomboy, the one who never cries, the strong one.
"That's not true, Logan likes you, he likes having someone he can fight with around here, and he likes having you in his family." Tyler put an arm around Lynx's shoulders.
Lynx looked up at her best friend and before she knew it he had kissed her. "Whoa, sorry Lynx, that just kinda…um…came out." Tyler looked down, not knowing what to do, Teresa was right, Tyler did like Lynx, but did she like him?
"Yeah, yeah, it's ok." Lynx said as she glanced quickly at him.
"Lynx? Does this somehow mean, like in the slight chance, we may be more then just good friends?" Tyler asked, hoping she would say yes.
"I don't know, but if that means that you like me, then you might want to rethink it, you know I'm not all that fond of the male race." Lynx sighed, she didn't know if she could trust anyone now, her dad had only used her to help him kill Rita, and Logan never would be her father, there would always be a gap there.
"It doesn't matter Lynx, you're my friend and I do like you." Tyler hugged Lynx and felt her tense up. "Hey, I'll always be your friend, and you know that I would never, ever hurt you."
Lynx nodded at stood up. "Lets go see if Marie got herself into anymore trouble."
"Ok, but I think she might still be in the ally." Tyler stood up and hesitated before taking Lynx's hand, without her tensing up or pulling away.
