Part 17
It was the middle of the night and Jack and Lorilie had just fallen asleep, when Will burst in and said, "Jack, Jack, wake up, wake up!"
"What is it now?" Jack said as he smiled at the beautiful woman sleeping next to him (4 u Lori, a true fan).
"There's a ship on fire, about 20 yard to the north! Should we go and help them?"
"What's the name of the ship?"
"The Bamfette."
"I know that ship! Go row out and bring back the survivors, if any." Jack knew who owned that ship. And he also knew that the person who owned that ship was different. He had blue skin and yellow eyes. Some people called him The Demon, or Nightcrawler, but he just liked to call him Kurt. He knew Kurt from the time he went to Germany and got shipwrecked. Kurt saved him, and when he saw his tattooed face, he swore he was dead.
"Jack!" came a voice with a thick German accent. "Guten Tag, mien freund!"
"Sehr gut!" Said Jack trying to remember the German that he learned. He approached his friend to embrace him. Jack realized that the whole crew was staring at this odd looking man. Jack was about to say something when he saw a beautiful woman step from behind Kurt. "Who is this, Kurt?" Jack asked raising an eyebrow.
"This is froulien Ororo." Kurt said. The woman had a dark complexion, and white hair. Neither of them looked normal, but there was something about them that said that they were a couple. Ororo gave a small smile, and shook Jacks hand.
By now the whole crew has seen his tail, and they were now starring at it intensely. Their heads were going back and forth with the movement of the tail. The swaying started to go faster until Kurt said, "I'm sorry, it does that when I'm nervous."
Jack laughed. "Kurt, no need to be shy amongst friends!" He slapped Kurt on the back and Kurt gave a shy smile, showing his pointy teeth. The crew gasped at Kurt's abnormal feature, then his smile faded, and he looked down at the floor.
Ororo took Kurt's hand and held it. This made everyone gasp yet again. His hands had three fingers each. Ororo lead Kurt away from the crew, and said "Don't mind them, they just aren't used to your looks yet. Soon, they will see what I see when they look at you."
"Ja, and what's that?"
"A cute blue German man with a 4ft tail, and pretty yellow eyes." She said with a smile.
Jack approached the couple and said, "You'll have to excuse them, mate. They are really nice once you get to know them."
"Danke, Jack, but I really must get going.how far away is Germany?"
Jack laughed and said, "Very far, mate, why don't you stay with us for a while?"
"I don't want to intrude, and I don't think they like me that much."
"I like you." Izzy said as she approached. "You seem nice, but I think you're too shy, but we can fix that." She ended her sentence with a wink, and Ororo glared at her. They heard lightning strike in the background.
Kurt looked at Ororo, and then back to Izzy, finally he smiled and said, "Keine Notwendigkeit, eifersuechtig zu sein, mien Stormliebe (No need to be jealous, Storm)."
Jack wasn't German, but he heard jealous, and he smiled. He was happy that Kurt had found somebody special, but he was worried because both Izzy and Jenni couldn't keep their eyes off him (and his tail), and Will kept on starring at Ororo.
By lunchtime, Jack had convinced Kurt and Ororo to stay with them for a while. The crew seemed to be at ease with their new passengers, until the question arose. "Why was your ship on fire?"
Kurt looked at Ororo and scratched his head. "Well.um.lighting stuck our ship."
"What are the chances of that?" Tom said.
"I don't know, it just happened." He said, and then he said some thing in German to Ororo. "Sie mußten in einen Kampf mit dem Koch nur erhalten nicht Sie. (You just had to get into a fight with the cook didn't you)."
Ororo grinned at him.
"You're German too?" Lorilie asked.
"No, but I learned a little German from him." She pointed to the blue man. "I'm from Cairo."
Silence.
"That's in Egypt.In Africa." Every one suddenly smiled and nodded.
"How long have you guys been together?" Lorilie asked, because she noticed them holding hands under the table.
"About 3 months." Kurt said but because of his accent it sound like he said muns instead of months.
Izzy giggled, and then said, "I like your accent."
Kurt blushed, but it didn't show from beneath his dark blue skin.
All during lunch Kurt told everyone about when he was in the circus. Everyone enjoyed it, except for Tom, Will, and Ororo. Ororo wasn't used to sharing Kurt with other people. Most of the time it was just the two of them, and that's how she liked it. Will and Tom on the other hand felt that they were losing their women.
