Hello! My sincerest apologies for not updating sooner, but I'm hitting finals week in college, my time has been so booked! But here's another chap for you all, as Yimz the flancton knight commanded, so I hope you enjoy it!

Chap 5: Don't get mad, get even

Kurt's decision was made for him when the first bell of the day rang, signaling that class would start in fifteen minutes.

Jean tugged on his shoulder. "Come on, Kristina, we have to get to English. Mrs. Keller's a bitch if you're tardy without a note." She and the cross-dresser hurried their way to class. Kurt had to think for a minute. How many times had he and the other boys looked at a new girl like that? He'd had no idea that it felt so-he had to be honest with himself, despite the gender crossing trauma to his psyche, he had actually found it flattering. Well, to a certain degree. After a while, it began to feel like they were trying to picture him naked-err, Kristina, naked. That was downright creepy.

As they walked down the hall, Kurt was hit by a familiar smell. Or should he say, stench. 'Oh, god, not him-'

"Hey, baby. You new in town?" Todd Tolanski, aka Toad, was leaning on the lockers beside Jean and staring right at Kurt. The boy ran an appreciative eye over 'Kristina's' goods and smiled. "M'name's Todd, but most call me Toad. What class you got now? I could show ya around later, sugar."

'Ewww!!! I just got checked out by Toad! Must not kill him, must not kill him, must not kill him'-"Vas?" He loaded his falsetto voice with as much confusion and accent as he could. "I am vith Miss Jean, she valk me to go class, ja?" Kristina looked to Jean for approval of her speech.

Jean was mentally snickering at the ruse, but went along. 'If only he knew...' "Back off, Toad, I'm just showing my new friend around for the day." She gave him a warning look. "She's Kurt's cousin from Germany, and I know for a fact you'll get the crap kicked out of you if you try anything with her."

"Aw, you're no fun. C'mon cutie," he took the other girl's arm, "I can show you a real good time." Kurt nearly teleported in panic. 'Get off me, get off me!' He shrugged the boy's arm off, "I no valk with 'Toad', I no vant get warts. Goodbye!"

Kurt stalked off, momentarily forgetting that 'she' wasn't supposed to know where she was going before Jean could catch up. He was muttering under his breath about just what he was going to do to Toad for ogling his 'cousin', when she spoke.

"We all get that sort of thing all the time."

Kurt glared over at her. "It sucks."

"Yeah, it does, but you'd better get used to it. Since all of us came from different places when we first came to Bayville, we all got the same treatment."

Kurt grimaced. "Sorry for it."

Jean smiled, "Don't mention it; it stops after two or three days. Then the real fun starts." The boy blanched.

Suddenly, as Toad walked by to get to his own class, Kurt flinched and froze solid. Jean looked around to see what the matter was. "Kurt?"

Kurt was twisting around to see a smirking Toad turning back to give him the peace sign. The elf was seeing red. Jean finally got worried enough to scan his mind when he spoke.

His tone was downright scary when he said, "That rotten bastard just flicked my butt with his tongue."

Jean's eyes went huge and spoke without thinking. "Kitty used that exact same tone when he did that to her." She immediately could have smacked herself.

Kurt nearly went off. "Vas?! He did that to Kitty!? He is going to die-"

"Kur-Kristina," Jean said frantically at the weird looks other people were giving them at a girl with such a deep voice, "just do what Kitty did."

"Oh? What was that?" he said with clenched teeth.

"Don't get mad, get even."

He thought about it while taking deep breathes in an attempt to calm down. Kristina suddenly lit up like it was summer break come early. "I have an idea."

Jean looked disturbed. "That's exactly what I'm afraid of." She sighed. "Girl's room is down the hall if you need a base of operations."

Kurt nodded and practically ran down the hall, almost going into the men's before he caught himself. The moment he walked into the girls, he knew that Scott was going to make a lot of money. Cyclops had bet twenty bucks that the girls' bathroom was better than the guys; everyone else argued that it was just a rumor. Well here was the proof.

He was almost gaping. They had their own vending machines in here! That was just so not fair! He shook those thought from his head and went to a stall, locking the door. 'Man, they even get the graffiti better in here. Someone was actually writing a poll as to the cutest guy in school. Hey, I was third! Not bad, for the fuzzy dude.' He clicked off his inducer for Kristina mode and switched back to his regular guy mode, then bamphed out of there.

Toad was almost whistling to himself as he walked down to first period homeroom. That German chick had been fine, and he couldn't wait to tell the Brotherhood boys that he'd actually tongued her butt!

Suddenly-Bamph! blue sulpherous clouds appeared, he froze solid not daring to move without seeing where Nightcrawler was and-Bamph! were gone just as fast. Toad looked around frantically. 'But Her Royal Prissiness said that he was Europe, yo! How the hell did freak boy know what I was doin'?'

Toad heard people start to laugh and wondered what was so funny. A sudden breeze made the reason known, and Toad almost shrieked in horror.

'OH MY GOD, HE PANTSED ME!!'

The entire student body got a horrifying eyeful of Todd Tolanski frantically trying to yank his pants back up from around his ankles. "I'm gonna kill that blue freak, I swear to god I'm gonna!"

Hehehe. I couldn't resist. If anyone deserves it, it's the toad boy. Hope you like it, please review!

Yimz the flancton knight: guys do so shift like that, I have four brothers, so I know. I hope you like this chap! Thanks so much for reviewing me.

Storm-Pietro: good idea, and yes I will. But do you really think Toad would miss a chance to hit on the new girl? (grins like a manic demon)

Lady LeBeau and Dark Jaded Rose: you guys really have no idea just how much it means that you faithfully review every chap I write in both my x- men fics. Thank you.

Taineyah: yes, he will, and in interesting ways if I have any say in it. (oh hey, I'm the author, of course I have a say in it.)

Much thanks to those who reviewed!
