THE X-MEN GO BROADWAY!
Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men or any of the musicals.
Very sorry I didn't update sooner, but you have no one to blame but the site which wouldn't let me on for a couple of days!
The first song in the first chapter was "Jet Song" from West Side Story. This chap. has "the Sound of Music" "Singing in the Rain" and "I Fell Pretty"
PLEASE REVIEW!

"Hurry up guys, or we'll be late again!" Jean called. Hurriedly, Kitty, Rogue and Kurt came down the stairs and climbed into Scott's car that Jean was borrowing for the second time.
Following them were the new recruits, including Jamie this year, who was a freshman. Slowly, they made their way to the garage where Storm would drive them in the SUV (but the X-Men's SUV didn't run on gasoline, making it environmentally friendly). But before they could, Beast jumped in front of them.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked.
"To school" they replied in unison.
"Oh no you're no!" Beast replied with a smile "One day of school is enough before you need a vacation again, right? Right. Today we're going to on a field trip!"
"HURRAY!" Everyone cheered and Bobby asked
"To where?"
"The hills!" their teacher replied.
"The hills?" Amara questioned "why the hills?"
"Because...
The hills are alive with the sound of music!
Jamie: Aaaaaaah
Beast: With songs they have song for a thousand years!
Jamie: Aaaaaaah
Beast: The hills fill my heart with the sound of music!
Jamie: Aaaaaaah
Beast: My heart wants to sing every song it hears!
Tabby and Amara: My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake, to the trees!
Bobby and Sam: My hear wants to sing like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze
Ray and Roberto: TO laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
Stones, on its way
Jamie: To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to pray!!
"I never knew Jamie had such a beautiful voice!" Amara sniffed and everyone nodded.
All: I go to the hills when my heart is lonely!
I know I will hear what I've heard before!
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music!
And I'll sing once more!
"TO THE HILLS!" they all shouted and left, on their way passing Storm.
"It's a good thing that you're drivin' 'em 'ank" she said in a very weird voice "Somethin's wrong with me"
"I can tell" he answered and quickly ushered the students away.
I've got to see the Professor! she thought and hurried away.

Meanwhile, the rest of the students had reached school. And it was raining. This dampened everyone's mood even more, especially Kurt who, for the purpose of this story, found rain very depressing. Solemnly he sat thought his morning classes. By lunch he was practically suicidal! Well- maybe not suicidal, but he wasn't happy!
That is, until he saw Amanda.
"Amanda!" he exclaimed happily, running towards her.
"Kurt! I haven't seen you all summer!" and they hugged.
"Oh Amanda!"
"Oh Kurt!" And they kept on hugging until people started to give them odd looks.
"Well, I gotta get to lunch" Amanda said "we have to get together sometime this week"
"Ja, definitely" and the two parted, smiling. Kurt left for the cafeteria, in a very different mood. He went over to the table where he was supposed to be sitting with Kitty, Rogue and Jean- and walked by it.
"Uh, Kurt, like, where are you going?" Kitty asked.
"Outside"
"It's kinda rainin' outside genius" Rogue said.
"Ja, I know" the three girls looked at each other and shook their heads. Outside, Kurt let the rain fall on his skin/fur. Happily he danced around. I mean he danced, literally.
Kurt: I'm singin' in the rain!
Just singin' in the rain!
What a glorious feeling,
I'm happy again!
I'm laughing at clouds,
So dark up above,
The sun's in my heart,
And I'm ready for love!
Let the stormy clouds chase!
Everyone from the place!
Come on with the rain,
I've a smile on my face!
I walk down the lane
With this happy refrain
I'm singin',
Just singin' in the rain!

When the students returned from school, the new recruits were already home.
"It was raining, so we had to come home early" Bobby lamented.
"Yeah" Ray complained "we didn't even get to hear the music!"
"Well now that you're home, you can do a little danger room session" Logan said, appearing in the room. They all groaned.
"Not everyone" he said "yet. First I want Jean, Kitty, Rogue and Tabby" The four girls groaned while everyone else sighed in relief. They followed Logan to the danger room, but before Jean left, Scott stopped her.
"Hi Jean" he gave her a small kiss on the lips and walked away.
In the training session that followed, Jean was acting strangely. She seemed as if she was removed in a way, like her head was on Cloud Nine.
"What's with Jean?" Kitty asked after the session was over.
"I dunno, she's all happy all of the sudden" Tabby said.
"She probably got hooked on some drugs"
"ROGUE!"
"No, it's okay" Jean said, coming up to them "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I am a telepath"
"Ah can be a telepath too, wanna see?"
"ROGUE!"
"Like, what's gotten into you Jean?" Kitty asked. Jean grinned.
Jean: I feel pretty,
Oh so pretty!
I feel pretty, and witty and gay!
And I pity,
Any girl who isn't me today!
I feel charming,
Oh so charming!
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.
I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy!
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
Girls: Have you met my good friend, Jean?
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her,
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock!
She's been in love for a while,
She's being a pain!
Scott's not something new,
She's merely insane!
Jean: I feel pretty,
Oh so pretty!
That the city should give me its key!
A committee should be organized to honor me!
Girls: La la la la...
Jean: I feel dizzy,
I feel sunny,
I feel fizzy and funny and fine!
And so pretty,
Miss America should just resign!
Girls: La la la la...
Jean: See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Girls: What mirror where?
Jean: Who can that attractive girl be?
Girls: Which? What? Where? Whom?
Jean: Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!
Kitty: Such a pretty me!
Tabby: Such a pretty me!
Rogue: Such an f-
"ROGUE!"
Jean: I feel stunning,
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy!
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
