CHAPTER 2: MEET THE SEFTONS

Several of the students were lounging around just talking, currently Bobby and Ray were arguing over something, but no one was really paying attention to what.

That's when Rahne burst through the front door and ran past them upstairs. The only thing she said that they caught was "Men." With more venom then a rattlesnake had.

Roberto came through a few minutes later, looking a little down.

"Roberto what happened?" Sam asked him.

He didn't answer at first. "Well there was this thing at the mall we were at."

"Define thing." Vincent said.

"Well she went into one of those clothing stores and I was hanging out when of all people Trish Meier comes up to me."

"Wait a minute Trish 'the dish' Meier?" Bobby asked him, his jaw was on the ground.

Vincent turned to Rogue. "Who?"

She had a disgusted look on her face. "She's this girl that all the juniors are after."

"No kidding, and she actually walks up to me." Roberto continued. "She actually starts to flirt with me."

"So what did you do?" Ray asked, his attention totally on him.

"Well I put the good old Roberto charm on her, she not only responded but I got her number and she actually kissed me on the cheek." He said delighted.

"Let me guess, Rahne saw all of this." Vincent said to him, sounding very disappointed in him, which he was.

Roberto looked down a little. "Well yeah, I mean what was I supposed to do?"

"You should have told her your seeing someone, and wasn't interested." Vincent told him. "I mean don't you believe in monogamy?"

"What does wood have to do with this?" He asked slightly confused. That got him angry glares and snorts from Rogue, Tabitha, and Jubilee.

"What? I said monogamy, not mahogany." Vincent said. "And the fact that you even said that, I'm not surprised she's pissed at you."

"No kidding." Jubilee said before going off to Rahne to see if she needed someone, but not before giving Roberto a death glare.

He was also getting some pretty nasty glare from the others too. Luckily he was saved from anything further when Kurt suddenly 'bamfed' in.

He was very frantic and panicking. "Guys vhere's the Professor?"

"I think he's in the library, why what's going on?" Tabitha said to him.

"Amanda just called, she said she's coming over."

"So?" Bobby asked.

"She's bringing her parents." Kurt said before disappearing. Leaving everyone there a little stunned.

"Well that can't be good, can it?" Bobby asked the others. They didn't have an answer and went to find Kurt to see what was going on.

They found Kurt in the hall. Rogue was the first to him. "Kurt what's goin' on?"

"Vell Amanda just called, she said zat her parents saw us at zhe mall, and they confronted her about it."

"Don't tell meh, they are comin' here to give ya a restaining order of somethin'?"

"Nein, zey are giving me a second chance, only ....vithout the holovatch. They also vant to meet all of the otherz."

"Uh oh." Bobby said.

"Yeah, so ve all should be on our best behavior, or I might not get to see her again." He pleaded with them.

"Hey man don't worry we'll do our best, we know how much she means to you, and we won't screw things up for you two, right guys." Vincent asked the others, he got a round of nods and yeses.

"Thanks" Kurt said to them all, he really didn't need to screw this up, he just hoped nothing like Todd showing up and ruining everything like last time, or something else like that would happen.

"Uh guys I just had I thought." Vincent spoke up. "I think someone should ask Kitty to keep her pet dragon Lockheed out of site, we really don't need to freak them out with THAT little piece of our lives."

Kurt was already on it and was off to find Kitty and ask her himself.

Jubilee however was too busy with Rahne. She had gone to the room they shared and saw the little redhead sitting on the edge of her bead crying. She immediately went over to her. "Rahne are you alright? What am I saying of course not."

She hugged her friend trying her best to comfort her.

"I-I-I thought he actually l-l-liked me" Rahne managed to say with some difficulty. "He was the-the first boy to actually like me"

"That can't be true." Jubilee said.

Rahne shook her head. "Everyone knew I was a mutant, and bein' on a island most of me life I was alone a lot. At school I was the only mutant, so I had no friends and no one would talk to me."

Jubilee knew how hard that could be, when she was sent home, things were like that for her too. Most of her old friends wouldn't even look at her anymore, sometimes she would come home in tears. It was one of the reasons her parents agreed to send her back, because at least here she had friends who accepted her.

"Look Roberto was a jerk, he shouldn't have just flirted with another girl like that while he was out with you. You're better off, besides it wasn't too serious was it?"

Rahne thought about it, her and Roberto flirted a little before she left, and when she got back they did again, and they only went on a few dates over the last couple of weeks. She did have a crush on him, but she wasn't sure it was more than that.

She was able to stop crying, though she did sniff a few times. Jubilee helped her to dry her eyes. "Come on lets go to the kitchen, we just got your favorite ice cream today, and we can finish it off, while we talk more." Jubilee said.

Rahne looked at her friend and smiled a little. "Really?"

Jubilee nodded and they went off to the kitchen.

While this was going on, word had gotten around that they were going to have guest that day, and they were to behave as best they could.

Kurt was currently pacing like crazy on the floor, and was driving everyone nuts with his nervousness.

"Kurt sit down and relax you look like your going to have a seizure or something." Ray told him.

"I can't! Thiz iz vary important to Amanda and me and I can't screw this up." Kurt then teleported out of sight.

"Man that guy's wired." Ray said while fanning away the sulfur smoke.

"Well put ya self into his shoes." Rogue shot at him.

"Yeah I would be nervous meetin' Taby's parents." Sam said.

"Her father's a crook of course you'd be nervous." Ray said to him.

"Okay bad example." He said.

"Hey Vince what are you smiling at?" Bobby said to him, the others looked at him, and saw him staring into space with a small smile on his face.

"Oh no, Ah know that look." Rogue said to everyone. "What do ya got planned?"

Vincent snapped back to reality. "Just an idea I want to run by the Professor." Then got up and was walking out the room.

"What idea?" Ray asked him. He stopped and looked back at them with a smile. "Character witnesses." He said and left.

Everyone was looking at him confused then looked to Rogue. "Don't look at meh, ah may have absorbed his mind, but even ah can' figure out what goes through his head at times."

About an hour later the doorbell sounded. Ray being the closest and losing to the others in a 'you go get it' argument, was surprised. He thought it was the Seftons, but turned out to be Pam, Amy and her brother Joseph.

"What not glade to see us?" Pam smiled at him.

"What? Oh hell yeah, what are you guys doing here?" He asked them.

"Well Vincent called us over, said something about needed 'a human perspective' or something." Pam answered him.

"Ah good you're here." They heard Vincent say from behind Ray. "Well come on in guys and I'll fill you in."

They all entered while Joseph looked the place over. "Man this place is huge."

"Oh that's right you haven't been here yet, or met everyone have you." Vincent said. He then explained about Amanda and her parents coming over, and that he thought that they would feel more at ease with some regular humans around, and to help show then that they weren't as dangerous as the media portrays them.

"Well I'm in." Pam said without hesitation, she looked over at Amy and Joseph and they both nodded. "Good it's settled then, so how much time we got until they get here?"

Vincent checked his watch "About an hour why?"

Pam suddenly grinned vary large, and took Ray's arm. "Well I was wondering what I could do to spend some time, you think you could help me out Ray?"

Ray just got a very wide grin on his face, and they left together leaving the others just watching.

"She doesn't waste any time does she?" Vincent asked Amy. "No she doesn't." she said with a deadpan expression.

Joseph had left the Amy and Vincent. After Pam left Amy asked Vincent how he was doing after April died. They had heard about this and over the past week looked in on him a few times.

They heard the story from the others, and whenever they asked he went from the happy guy they knew to sad. His face would get slightly darker, and his eyes seemed to fill with pain. He would look almost like another person.

He would always say 'better some days than others', and said he was thankful they asked. They also heard a little of his past from the others, and personally Joseph felt for the guy. He knew that they most likely got the edited version, but quite frankly after what he heard from Amy, he didn't want to know the rest, he'd most likely end up with nightmares.

He was looking around, hoping not to get lost, and failed. When he came upon the kitchen, the door was open to the fridge and someone was behind it looking for something. He figured they might help him find his way to the rec room, he heard about.

"Uh, excuse me could you help me out?" Then the door closed and he was face to face with this redheaded girl about his age, with green eyes, and ....a spoon in her mouth?

He wasn't sure but he thought his heart had actually stopped for a second, before starting back up. "Who are ye?" She asked after taking the spoon out, in what he assumed was a Scottish accent, which sounded great to him.

"uh, I uh, I'm with Amy, I mean I'm her brother Joseph, uh who are you?" he managed to stumble out. 'Smooth real smooth Casanova.'

"Oh I'm Rahne, I heard about ye, from ye sister, she's kinda nice, wo what are ye doin' here?"

"Oh! Vincent called us over, you know to help the Sefton's see you guys as pretty-ah mean pretty...cool people."

"Oh well that's nice of ye." She said, and sat down to a bowl of with a few traces of ice cream in it. Joseph noticed that she seemed a little down. "Are you okay?"

She played with her spoon in the bowl, not looking at him. "I just, goin' through relationship issues is all."

"Oh." He said concerned to her, while sitting down next to her. "I know we just met but, well do you want to talk about it?"

"I thinkin' of getting out of a relationship I have with someone here, I don't think I can trust him. Plus we really haven' been havin' a good time lately as we were as friends."

"Sorry to hear that." Though on the inside he was glad that she might be free soon. "So why can't you trust him?"

"I caught him flirting with this girl, when he was wit me, and he looked like he was having more fun wit her than me."

"Well the guys an idiot, I wouldn't have done something like that if I had a beautiful girlfriend." Unfortunately he didn't mean it to come out like that.

Rahne turned to face him, first surprise then her face softened a little, and her cheeks slightly turned red. "Ye think I'm beautiful?"

"Well, uh, yeah." He said sheepishly, and turning the same color as her hair. Thankfully for him, Jubilee came in with Amy. "Ah there he is, see I told you we would find him Amy, you guys should know the Sefton's are here."

"Oh well then, I guess I'll go, um it was nice meeting you Rahne, I hope to see you again." Joseph said to her and left the room with Amy.

Jubilee noticed the look her friend was giving Joseph. "Well not 24 hours and you already got a new guy lined up." She evilly smirked at her.

"It's not like that, he's just a nice guy."

"Sure keep telling yourself that."

The Sefton's were currently in the living room, they were all sitting on the couch, and with them were Rogue, Vincent, Logan, Storm, Xavier, Jamie, Ray and Pam (Who was currently sitting on his lap, not that he was complaining)

"So where's Kurt?" Amanda asked.

"Most likely jumping out of his skin." Vincent said to himself, which got him a jab in the ribs from Rogue. "Sorry, it just slipped out." Then he noticed Mr. Sefton looking at him pretty intently. "Uh, Mr. Sefton, is there something I can help you with?" He asked slightly worried.

"Aren't you that boy that fought with that Juggernaut character a while back?"

Vincent cringed at that memory. "Yeah I am, it wasn't like I had a choice the guy threw a car at me, and fighting him was better than him throwing any more at me, I was barely able to make sure the first one didn't hit anybody, and I doubt I would be as lucky with a second."

Mr. Sefton was about to say something when Kurt walking in without his image inducer. "Um, hello."

Both of Amanda's parents had seen the images of the 'mysterious blue mutant' and had heard of his true appearance from their daughter but it's still a shock for the first time. They also saw Kurt winch at their reaction and could see the pain in his face.

Marglai spoke up first. "Sorry Kurt it's just..."

"Takes a little getting used to? I know I'm used to it." Kurt finished for her. He sat down across from them

"Kurt as you know we wanted to try this again for Amanda's sake, we needed to know that she was safe and that she was doing the right thing." Marglai said to him, gently.

"What do you mean safe?" Pam spoke up. "These people are pretty good people if you ask me."

Mr. Sefton spoke to her. "Look we're just trying to figure out this mutant thing, I mean after all we've seen of what goes on from the news, we needed to be sure are daughter wasn't putting herself in danger with you people."

"Well first off, she isn't" Pam said getting off Ray and walking slowly to Amanda's father. "I can understand your looking out for her, but all mutants aren't dangerous, and finally I am NOT a mutant, I'm just as human as you are, and these 'people' as you said are my friends."

"You're not a mutant?" He said who was taken aback.

"She isn't a mutant and neither is her friend and her friend's brother who are also here today." Xavier said to them.

"Yeah in fact not too long ago I thought like you did, hell so did Amy and Joseph, but then I was being hassled by these jerks, one of them bruised up my arm from grabbing it too hard." Pam said. "Then out of nowhere Vincent comes on to the scene and helps us out."

"At first we didn't know he was a mutant, and he seemed like a nice guy and guess what? He is, after we found out he was a mutant, we tried to get to know him and Rogue, Kurt and Kitty who were also there, and you know what we found. They were all nice people, who are just as 'normal' as we are."

The Sefton's didn't know what to think about that. They didn't speak and just blinked a little. Amanda's parents looked over at each other, then at Amanda, then finally on Kurt.

At first he seemed to look so different, yet in his eyes, even though they were unlike any eyes they had seen, they saw the same humanity in them as everyone else.

Perhaps they weren't so different after all.

Amanda's mother spoke up first. "Perhaps it would be easier if we got to know each other more, all of us."

For the first time both Kurt and Amanda had hope that this would work out for the best, and for the first time that day they smiled.
