Kitty the Canine Chapter Two

Rogue woke early the next morning, disappointed that she hadn't been able to stay awake for Kitty's return. Rogue decided that she must have slept really well if she had slept through Kitty's complaints about the dog. Rogue rolled over, glancing towards Kitty's bed as she got up.

"What the." Rogue stared at the bed, amazed. The dog was still sleeping fitfully under the comforter.

Rogue mentally shook herself and changed into some clothes, figuring that Kitty had slept on the couch or something. Rogue raced down to the rec. room where Jamie was playing tag with himself. One of the Jamies bumped into the girl, knocking her down and causing three more Jamies to appear.

Rogue growled in irritation, pushing a copy of Jamie off of her, "Jamie, have you seen Kitty this mornin'?"

"Umm. nope, I haven't seen her since yesterday. Doesn't she share a room with you?" the Jamies chorused.

"Yah she does, but Ah obviously don't know where she is!" Rogue snapped, heading to another room.

Rahne wandered out of the kitchen, transforming into a wolf as she raced up the stairs. As Rahne raced up the stairs she ignored the other mutants who were heading downstairs to grab a late breakfast. Bobby was able to slide down the banister on some ice and Spike also managed to dodge Rahne. Jamie, however, wasn't so lucky. With a startled yell, twelve Jamies tumbled down the stairs, landing in a heap at the bottom. Rahne paid them no attention as she continued up the stairs, intent upon taken the dog out onto the institute's grounds.
? ? ?

"Professor? Do ya know where Kitty is? Ah can't find her anywhere." Rogue questioned.

"She didn't come in last night?" the Professor asked, concerned. "I'll get Cerebro to try and trace her mutant signature right away. In the meantime, could you and Kurt go and see if the Brotherhood knows anything about her disappearance? I'll let you know if Cerebro picks up anything."

"Thanks Professor. Kurt and Ah will get right on it." Rogue replied, grateful for something to do.

As Rogue closed the door to the Professor's study behind her, She ran straight into the person she was looking for.

"Hey fuzzy!" Rogue called, "We gotta head ovah to tha Brotherhood's house and look for Kitty, let's go!"

"Ah, man! But Rogue, I haven't even had breakfast yet! Do you zink zat I, ze fuzzy one, runz on nozing? I zink not!"

"She's right, elf, let's go." Logan grunted as he walked around the corner.

"You're coming too, Logan?" Rogue questioned suspiciously.

"Well, I don't got anything else to do and I wouldn't want you guys to, uh, get hassled by those Brotherhood creeps." Logan responded, glaring at Rogue.

Ororo, who was tending to the institute's garden, glanced up as she heard some of the newer recruits joining her outside. Bobby and Jubilee were attempting to make as many copies of Jamie as they could. In about two minutes twenty versions of Jamie were trying to dodge the other mutants.

In a couple of minutes, Rahne and the dog joined the others outside. When Amara noticed the dog she called the other new recruits together so they could decide on a name for the dog.

"I think we should name it Fluffy." thirty Jamies chorused.

"No way man! Fluffy is such a lame name! Maybe Killer, or Buster!" Berzerker added.

"What about Rover?" Amara suggested.

Bobby scoffed at her, "Rover? How original is that?"

"Well, we need to decide on something! The poor dog can't stay nameless forever!" Rahne stated.

"What we need is a list of names!" Bobby announced.

"Yah, but where are we gonna get one?" Jamie questioned (his copies had disappeared by now).

"Duh. The library- or the telephone book." Ray put in.

"Let's go to the library, then!" Bobby decided.

After leaving the still nameless dog with Ororo, the new recruits raced inside to beg Scott until he drove them to the library.

That's it for now, readers! What did ya think? Sorry if it was a bit short but I was trying to find a good place to end the chapter. I know that the story is kind of obvious (look at the title) but it's fun to write and I hope you enjoy reading it! What do you guys think the new recruits should name the dog? Let me know in your reviews, 'cause I sure don't know what to call it! Oh, yah! Sorry if the new recruits are kind of out of character- I don't know them all that well and I don't even know if you're supposed to write Rahne's accent when she speaks. Anyways, I gotta go. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
