Disclaimer: Chapter 1 holds the secret.
A/N: Okay, wow! I gotta review! ONE, granted, but that's more than I've
ever gotten! Just for an update, I already have chapter 6 done and have
started on number 7 where a new character will be added! This will be the
most in-depth author's note section yet, so if you don't care, skip it now.
Contrary to popular belief, these characters WEREN'T just a figment of my
imagination. I, the author, am Angela (that's my real name BTW), and my
friends Lisa and Mikey are from school. The way we are pictured is quite
often the way we act IRL (minus the powers, of course) as are our family
and relations with each other and the world around us (Yes, Lisa and I are
lab partners, yes those were real labs I had used and described and YES, I
DID spill 5 molar HCl on my hand and DO still have a scar from it.). Well,
with all that settled, enjoy chapter three!
Chapter 3, Mikey
"Okay, streamers, party hats, what else?" said Angela. Lisa and Kurt had ridden the bus home with her and were helping her decorate. The door opened and her mom walked in.
"I got you some Pokemon balloons. I won't be here, I'm going to a work party," her mom said, dropping off her decorations and going out the door again. "She doesn't seem zat bad," said Kurt. "You've never seen her angry," said Angela; going to the large silvery Pokemon balloons. "We should just put these in the closet." she said, muttering something about Pokemon being barely an anime. "So, are we ready, then?" asked Lisa. "Is your dog at vork again?" asked Kurt. Angela nodded, but then the door opened. A white boxer, about as tall as everyone's hips, came in, sniffed a few times, then ran for Angela. They played a little, but then the dog sniffed again in the direction of Kurt and tried to tackle him. "Hey!" said Kurt, bamfing away. He reappeared behind Angela. "Keep zat sing avay from me!" he exclaimed. Wooby, looking confused, turned to Angela. "Awe, that's not nice! He was just playing," said Angela, giving the hand signal for Wooby to sit. The dog did, though he whined and continued to look anxiously at Kurt. "Cool," said Kurt. "He can't hear, so we taught him hand signals," Angela explained. "Yeah! Watch this!" said Lisa, giving the dog the signal for bark. It barked louder than most dogs would, not being able to hear its self. Kurt laughed. A tall man with short blonde hair walked in, smiling at the dog. "Kurt, this is Scott, my step dad. Scott, this is my new friend Kurt," Angela introduced. "Pleased to meet you," said Kurt. "Yup, you too," said Scott, trying to keep the dog from jumping. "Come on," said Angela. "Let's decorate my room next." Everyone followed her to her room. They decorated, and then sat down. There weren't enough chairs and not really much room either. Boxes and her daybed took up what room there was available. "Zhere's not really much stuff here," Kurt observed. "Well, my room's not that big, I have more at my Dad's, but I can't stand my step mom, and plus my step brothers would exploit is for our 'cool powers.'" "Well, how will you get the rest of your stuff from there then?" asked Lisa. Angela shrugged, not seeming to care much. "I suppose I could go just once more, seeing as I may not see them for a while," she said. "Yeah, your dad WAS pretty rude when I came over that one time," said Lisa. "I don't blame you for not wanting to go back. "Yeah, sorry about that," Angela apologized. She looked at her Sailor Moon clock on the wall. "People should be arriving soon," she said, standing once more. They all went and waited on the couches in the living room. The first to arrive was Leah, then Mikey. Leah was being a bit rude to Mikey and he finally had had enough. "You're making me angry!" he said and with that a giant anvil fell on the floor in front of Leah. She blinked, confused, and simply stood there in shock. "Mikey, ve haff to talk," said Kurt, putting a hand on Mikey's shoulder and bamfing him back to the mansion. "What-?" said Mikey, "You!" he yelled, turning to Kurt. "You snuck up behind me!" he yelled. An anvil nearly fell on Kurt, but Kurt bamfed behind Mikey again just in time. Mikey jumped and turned. "You did it again!" he yelled, more anvils following. "Calm down! Let me explain!" insisted Kurt, hanging from the chandelier by his tail. Mikey blinked up at him, confused. "You have a tail." he observed. "Yah, and you can make sings appear out of nosing! I say ve can call it even," Kurt said. "What's going on, Kurt? Shouldn't you be at Angela's party?" asked Scott as he walked in from outside. Kurt sighed. "Ve've got anozer vone," he said. Scott slapped his forehead. "I'll get the Professor," he said. He did so and the Professor explained to an unbelieving Mikey his power of materialization of matter, and that he must always stay calm. They then headed back to the party. After they bamfed in, Scott introduced Jean. The next to arrive was Logan. "Why did the Professor force me to come here?" he grumbled. Wooby, happy to have another new visitor, ran up to him and jumped up. The dog put his nose between Wolverine's legs and lifted up. Logan let out a sharp yelp of surprise and pain, stumbling back into the door. Everyone looked his way and sweatdropped as he glared at the still happy dog. The dog climbed on top of him and licked his face, biting playfully at one of his ears. "You stupid mutt!" he bellowed angrily. "Easy, Wolfie, he can't even hear you," said Angela. "Sorry about that." said Angela's stepdad, trying not to laugh as he put the dog outside. Wolverine glared and leaned against the wall for the rest of the night. Scott mostly hung with Jean and Lisa, Angela, Kurt, and Mikey tried to console Leah while also trying to teach Mikey to make new boards for the broken floor. Angela's step dad Scott had long decided to stay out in the garage with the dog. As cars began to arrive, people left. "So, vill you move in today?" Kurt asked Angela. "I doubt it. Mom will want me to spend my last night 'bonding' with the family. She probably just wants to lecture me on what not to do before I even do it. It's not like I'll never see her again. That would be too perfect," Angela concluded. Everyone looked at her and sweatdropped. "It can't be that bad," said Mikey as Leah went toward the door. She waved bye and the small group looked around. The only ones left were Scott, Jean, Logan, Lisa, Mikey, and Kurt. Kurt was still a little uneasy from Simon's flirting and Logan kept eyeing the door as if daring the dog to come back in. "Well," said Lisa, sitting on one of the couches. "Yep," agreed Angela. "Anyone wanna help clean up?" asked Mikey, starting to pick up a paper cup. "Oh, don't be silly," said Jean. She motioned and all the trash rose into the air and went to the garbage can. The lid opened and the trash neatly fell in. Things were righted and pictures straightened. Within ten minutes, the house looked like it did before they started. "Cool," said Angela. "Can you do that to my room?" asked Mikey. Jean smiled. "Welcome aboard, you three," said Jean. "Well, Mom won't be home for a while and we're out of food. Who's up for an anime?" Angela suggested. "Anime?" asked Logan. "Iz zat some type of animal or somesing?" asked Kurt. Lisa, Mikey, and Angela sweatdropped. "We better start them off easy," said Lisa. "I guess that rules out the Utena movie, then?" said Angela. Lisa nodded. "Let's see what you have," said Mikey. Angela led them to her movie drawer. "Well, definitely not Evangellioin," said Angela. "Sailor Moon might not be appreciated, either," said Lisa. "How about this?" suggested Mikey, holding up Mononoke Hime. "Naw, too deep. Can't you try to conjure something up?" suggested Angela hopefully. "Maybe that's not such a good idea," said Lisa. "Remember the anvils?" "Yeah, well, how about Ranma ½ then?" asked Angela. "Sounds good," said Mikey, pulling out the DVD. They went to the group and put it into the Playstation 2. Angela set it up to play all the way through and then sat with the group. "A cartoon." said Logan in annoyance. "Not a cartoon!" Angela and Mikey yelled together. Kurt, Scott, and Jean were learning from the video that when Ranma is doused with cold water, he becomes a she. They all laughed and the only one seemingly not interested was Logan. After watching the gender-bending silliness, Angela sighed. "Well, Mom will be home soon," she said. "I guess I'll see you all tomorrow." "Yeah, see ya," said Scott, taking Jean out to the car. Angela looked to Mikey who seemed very happy about something. "What is it, Mikey-kun?" she asked. "It's me, isn't it? You're glad I'm leaving, aren't you?" she said, fake tears coming to her eyes. "No, baka! It's just I'm so happy! It's gonna be great living with you guys and plus, I can make whatever I want!" said Mikey triumphantly. "Not exactly," said Logan gruffly. "Your powers need work, and you definitely need to learn how to control them better. What would have happened if your anvil had hit her? Or if you did it in front of people at school?" "Geez, Logan, itz not his fault," said Kurt defensively. "Yeah, it's not like he did it on purpose," said Lisa. "Leah's my friend, why would I do that?" said Mikey, looking a little sad. "Don't mind Logan. Totemo shitzurei desuyo," said Angela. "Huh?" said Logan and Kurt together. "Never mind," said Lisa. Mikey's Mom pulled up and Lisa went outside, too. "Where ya goin', Lisa?" asked Angela. "Oh, Mikey's Mom offered to drive me home. See you tomorrow," she said, turning away again. "Hey, hang on!" said Angela. Lisa walked back to her and Mikey followed. "What's the matter?" asked Mikey. Angela took them aside, away from the two X-men. "Ever hear of a little show called 'While you were out'?" asked Angela with a grin.
A/N: Okay! Another chapter completed! I still have up to chapter 6 written out (I do this in school when I should really be studying for finals.), but I don't type them out often. I have been doing it at lunch and sometimes at home, but Mom doesn't like me on the computer often. Oh, if any of you have ideas or information or critiquing, I am usually online in the evening. My AIM is JupiterGurlAnime and my e-mail, which I check every night, is jupitergurl02@hotmail.com . I always reply because I hardly ever get IMs or e-mails, so yeah. ^_^;; anywho, hope to see you soon!
