Disclaimer: I DON"T OWN X-MEN! Kay?
Hey guys! Thanx 4 the reviews! I don't have anything else to do for, like, an hour (then I got a band concert), so I figured I'd update. Cool, eh? I have a French test tomorrow. Bummer. Not that it's very hard; the test is on household chores. We also have to do skill testing on square dance in PE. When will I ever have to square dance anyway? No offense to anyone who enjoys square dance; it's just not for me, that's all. Oh yah! We got a new Jazz Band teacher too. He's pretty cool. He plays trombone! Trombones are sssssooooooooo cool. I play one. Anyways, enough about me! On with the story!
Kitty the Canine Chapter 5
"IT'S CHRISTMAS MORNING!" Jaime bellowed.
'Does he have ta shout everything?' Rogue thought as Poco began barking. The dog seemed to have picked up on Jaime's excitement and was now following him through the house, adding to the noise.
Rogue sighed, slowly getting up.
Eventually all of the mutants were able to drag themselves out of bed and make their way to the Christmas tree in the rec. room.
* * *
Once all of the mutants had finished exchanging gifts, Bobby stood up and cleared his throat.
"Uh, first of all, I guess that I'd like to thank everyone for a great Christmas morning..." Bobby started, as the students and teachers murmured in agreement, "but the gift giving isn't over yet!"
A few of the mutants looked confused as Bobby continued, "That's right; there's still on more gift that has to be given out!"
The mutants looked up at Bobby, their interest piqued.
Bobby grinned, "C'mere Poco!"
The dog barked and obediently jogged over to Bobby.
* * *
Bobby stood in front of a closed door, the rest of the mutants in an eager circle around him. Poco sat at his feet.
"This," Bobby threw open the door dramatically, "is your new room Poco!"
The dog barked excitedly, leaping forward. The room was full of dog treats and toys, blankets and pillows, and a huge dog bed. It was anything and everything that Bobby and Rahne had thought Poco would ever want; they had cleared out the pet store!
"Whoa!" Jamie yelled out, racing after Poco. The other mutants were still staring at Bobby in shock. Suddenly there was a loud THUMP! That jolted the mutants out of their reverie. Poco had knocked over Jamie, creating a few copies to appear. Everyone began to laugh, moving forward to play with Poco.
* * *
After lunch, everybody was startled as Poco raced toward the front door, barking excitedly.
"Kitty!" a voice exclaimed, followed by a yelp.
The mutants raced towards the front door, Kurt in the lead, only to find the Brotherhood of Mutants standing in the foyer, Fred hugging Poco to his chest.
"Hey! Put Poco down!" Bobby yelled.
"Yah! And vere is Keety!" Kurt shouted.
"Whoa! Chill! We just came over to wish you guys a Merry Christmas!" Lance said, throwing his hands up in front of himself.
"Fine. Merry Christmas; but vere is Keety?" Kurt questioned.
"I can explain that." Wanda said, stepping forward.
Xavier stopped her, "Why don't we all go to the living room; you can explain there, Wanda."
* * *
Once everyone had made themselves comfortable, Wanda began.
"Well it happened a few weeks ago. Fred was driving me crazy; he wanted a pet. He just wouldn't stop! He just kept going on and on and my HEAD WAS GOING TO POP! I got mad and shot a hex-bolt at him but I missed and it went through the window. Kitty was walking by our house and it hit her. I started yelling at Fred; by the time we were gone the dog was gone."
"I see," Xavier sighed, "Well, as fun as the past few weeks have been, I'd appreciate it if you could change Kitty back."
"Uh, ya see, that's the problem..."
"What problem?" Logan growled.
"Uh, well, I can't change her back..."
"WHAT!" the X-men shouted in unison.
"Heh, heh. We gotta now. Merry Christmas!" Lance said, as he and the Brotherhood ran out of the house.
The X-Men stood up, but Xavier stopped them.
"There is nothing that they can do. Wanda was telling the truth. For now Kitty will have to stay as she is."
"Alright." the students replied as one.
"Now go and enjoy the rest of Christmas day." Xavier said with a smile.
* * *
Kurt was in his room, looking at the dog that was curled up on his feet.
"So," Kurt started, "I guess you're going to be a dog for a vhile, eh?"
Poco barked in response.
"So, can I still call you Poco?" Kurt smiled devilishly, racing out of the room. Kitty barked indignantly, leaping up to follow her friend.
The End
Well, that's it; this story's done. Sniff. I kinda wish it wasn't. I'll probably do a sequel, but I'm going to work on my other stories for a while. Once again, I'm sorry that this story took so long to update. Please review; let me know what you thought of the story and what you'd like to see in the sequel. Thanks. Bye! Shadowcat Pryde
