different ways can you say I suffer from lack of funds? I don't own X-

Chap 3: Here's to the Sexy Elf!
Recovering from the convulsions of laughter took some effort, but Tabby took some deep breaths. "Kitty, you're next. And we say-Kurt!"
"Kurt?!" her face fell. "Aww, man."
Amara smiled, "You can do it."
"But no one wants to shock Kurt!" Kitty cried.
Rahne nodded. "She's got a point there."
*** Kurt was getting embarrassed. "And just what the hell does that mean?" he sputtered angrily. ***
"Yeah, he is awful sweet," Jubilee mimed a love struck teeny-bopper. She got serious a minute later. "I can honestly say he's the nicest guy I ever met."
*** "Uh-oh, man, you're starting to sound like the teddy bear guy," Sam said worriedly.
Kurt looked at him in confusion. "Vas?"
"The one all the girls love but never"-Evan jabbed him hard in the ribs, almost putting a spike into it, "ohh, man, not good." ***
"And that accent is so sexy," Jean added softly.
** "Well, he's wrong about that."
"Shut up, Roberto!" Scott snapped. Kurt edged away from where Cyclops was sitting. It might be wise to hide from the fearless leader if he got jealous of him. ***
Tabby looked over at the red-head considering. "Well, Jean, got a euro fetish?"
"No! I mean, the way he talks, it just gives him this air of mystery, you know? Worldly, kind of."
"Yeah." They all sighed, to Kurt's complete surprise. They were mooning over him?
Tabby smiled. "Okay, Kitty, we'll let it slide just once, but only because it's the sexy elf."
Kitty raised up her bottle of sarsaparilla. "A toast! To the sexy elf, Kurt Wagner, may he never know how much he really turns us on!"
Rahne picked up her Yoo-hoo, "to he of the blue fur."
"To he of the fastest and best moves in the house!"
"To he of the sexy walk." Jubilee looked at their surprised faces with exasperation. "What? It is sexy; it's like strutting without the attitude."
Kitty nodded in complete agreement as she said, "Good point."
"Jeez, guys," Rogue said blushingly. For god's sake, this was her brother they were talking about. But she raised her black cherry coke up to the ceiling. "To him of bad puns, and if I ever find out who bought him that joke book"-
Rahne smiled nervously, "To he of early wake-up calls."
Kitty smiled, "To the king of sweet."
"To he with fangs worthy of David Borneaz," Tabby added.
Rahne looked confused, "Who?"
"Angel off 'Buffy.'"
The wolf-girl smiled broadly. "Whoo-hoo!"
"I'll drink to that," Amara took a sip of cream soda.
Kitty threw in the final clincher. "To the cutest ears since Legolas in the Lord of the Rings."
"Amen!" All the girls clinked their bottles and glasses together, laughing the whole time.
"You know, he totally ruined that movie for me." Kitty looked around at their confused looks. "He did! I was sitting there, watching Vigo Morgenstern, and then Orlando Bloom comes on screen." (All the girls sighed happily. All the guys just groaned.) "Of course, drooling over the blonde, when he turns his head and I saw his ears. Swear to god, my first thought was, 'Kurt's are cuter.' I spent forty-five minutes studying the ears and thinking, 'those are so fake. They're supposed to go up, not out! What are you, Mr. Spock?' That did it, like, totally ruined the movies for me. I can't even watch 'the Two Towers' without thinking that."
"That's not true!" Amara almost shouted. "No one is cuter than Orlando Bloom!"
"Here!" Kitty rooted under her bed and brought out a magazine. She flipped through it and found a full facial pic of Legolas. She then put a picture of Kurt right next to it from her scrapbook. "See? Ruined. Totally ruined."
Rahne stared, tilting her head from side to side considering. Then a look of pure horror crossed her face. "Oh, no!" she almost shoved the magazine to Jean, who had the same reaction. "Good god. She's right. Kurt's ears are better than Legolas'!" Amara and Tabby groaned aloud in agreement, "I'm gonna be thinking about that the next time I see that movie!
Jean looked over at Kitty and nodded. "Ruined. Kurt just single handedly ruined the Lord of the Rings for every girl here." They all nodded in agreement.
******* I cannot believe all the reviews I'm getting for this! I'd never thought humor was my strong point, but if you all think so, well then!
A few responses, since you guys are so wonderful. ( and only a few, as all of them would, um, take up too much disk space.)
Lady LeBeau: hope your family has since been reassured of you dubious sanity. ;-) thanks for the compliment!
JaSSerS: Honey, yes we are!
Hallanole: Hope you feel better soon, and thanks for reviewing!
Cuddness: um, actually, I was going for the whole idea of 'make fun of authority figures' rather than incest. (EEEWWW!!!) and hey, I want this to be funny, I just have a hard time working the formula: Rogue + love interest = humor. But it might turn out that way, who knows?
PomegranteQueen: Hey! That isn't a bad pairing! (Rare and a litte strange, yes, but I know 3 authors who've done it beautifully.) and no, this is not a Remy/Jubilee.
Little Took: thanks for my story's first review!
