Author's Note: Feh...last chapter...ARGH Fanfiction.net felt like being evil and messed up the last paragraph...so it's all squished together and ugly. I'm sorry...-_- And the comment from SickMindedSucker prompted the intro of this chapter. Hope it's okay with you! ^-^
Chapter 3: Spread the Word!
Scott chuckled. "Kurt, I'm not evil, and I'm not planning anything."
"Hmm..." The furry elf scratched his chin. "Zas is true. Since when can Scott come up with an evil plan?"
"Thanks, Kurt. Thanks."
Kurt opened his fanged mouth to speak, but was cut off by a rattling of the doorknob. "Hello?" This voice was a dead giveaway of the owner; Kitty.
Kurt's face paled beneath his blue fur. "Mien gott..."
Scott motioned to his bed. "Under there."
The doorknob rattled more. "Like...hello? Scott? Are you there?"
"Kurt, go!" Scott whispered as Kurt dove under the bed and gathered up his tail. His soda and cookie still sat on Scott's nightstand. His voice rose. "Just a minute, Kitty!"
"Uh...Scott...like, open up!" Kitty came flying through the door. She immediately put her hands on her hips and looked around. "Busy, Scott?"
"Erm...no?"
"Good. Like, have you seen Kurt?" Kitty began to look around the room.
"Yi...no." Scott looked nervously down to the bed. "Erm...Kitty. I think there's something I should tell you."
"Mmm-hmm..." The girl was looking about aimlessly through drawers and through Scott's closet.
"Here. Read this." Scott tossed the note over to Kitty.
Kitty inspected the note while rummaging about in Scott's sock drawer. The giggle started with a slight shaking of her shoulders. The giggle grew to a laugh, grew to a guffaw as Kitty found herself clinging to Scott's bureau for support, the note at her feet, and tears streaming down her face.
Scott stared. "Erm..." His eyebrow twitched.
Kitty shook her head slowly, snatching the note up and standing shakily. "Like, sorry. Got a little...yeah."
"So I see..." Scott tapped his foot.
"So...like...are we really going along with this?" A puzzled Kitty handed the note back to Scott.
"Well, yeah. You think we're going to back down to the Brotherhood?"
"Like, no. But...like, it's so stupid! Truth or Dare? Can they get any more pathetic?"
"I have no idea...."
"Anyway, so, like, is this required?"
"Yes."
"But..."
"No. You're going. I am, and so is Kurt."
"Oh! So that means you've seen him today!"
Scott mentally slapped himself. The hiding Kurt cringed. Thanks a lot, Scott... Kurt made a mental note to torture Scott later.
Scott ran a hand through his hair and looked down, trying to think up a good lie. "Well, I haven't seen him. I'm just assuming that he's going to go."
"But if you said it was like, required, shouldn't everybody have to go?"
"Yes, but they don't know about it."
"So you have seen him." Kitty crossed her arms and locked Scott in a pissy, don't-mess-with-me stare. "So, like, where is he?"
"He's...uhhh..."
Kitty rolled her eyes and leaned down casually to check under Scott's bed. She was met with a pair of yellow eyes. "Kurt!"
The blue elf gulped. "Kitty...how nice to see you..."
"I've been looking everywhere! I'm, like, working on a set of blueberry muffins! They'll be ready in..." She looked at her watch. "Oh my God, they were ready, like, 5 minutes ago!" She screeched and ran off.
Kurt slammed his forehead into Scott's wooden floor. "Scott...you gave me away..." He growled and looked up at the older boy.
"What?" Scott held his hands out defensively.
"Great..." Kurt dragged himself out from under the bed and picked lint from his fur, all while muttering to himself in German. "Now I have to eat burned muffins..."
"Maybe these won't bounce." Scott offered a feeble smile.
Kurt grumbled and took a sip of his soda.
"So I'm the bad guy now?"
The elf shrugged. "Whatever. At least Kitty knows about tomorrow."
"Oh, yeah! Kurt, 'port around the mansion and alert the team!"
Kurt stared at Scott while munching on his cookie.
"Go!" No movement. "Be free!" Nothing. Scott began to make extensive arm gestures while trying to coerce Kurt to spread the news through the institute. "Fly! Live vicariously!"
Kurt blinked. "You know, that's not making teleporting around the school any more appealing to me." He finished his cookie and took another sip of soda.
"Kurt...go."
Kurt sighed. "Okay. Maybe Kitty won't be able to find me if I'm on the run..." With that, the fuzzy elf disappeared. He had let his soda drop, leaving a dark brown fizzy puddle on Scott's floor.
