Chapter 8
Do you want fries with that?
At the rather large dinner table in the institutes dining room everyone was seated. Kitty sat next to Lance who was the only Brotherhood member there, in her bright red dress while Lance wore a black shirt with black pants. Remy and Rogue wore their usual clothes and sat across from Kitty and Lance. Kurt, dressed in a tuxedo sat next to Amanda and her parents, trying to make an impression. Bobby, the only one of the new mutants who bothered to come was also wearing a tuxedo, but he was staring at the food. Jean and Scott were dressed in semi-formal clothes and sat near the Professor who was at the end of the table in his normal attire. Storm and Logan were on the other side of Scott and Jean, Storm dressed in a beautiful silver gown and Logan in his best Flannel. Artisan, in her black shirt and pants, sat next to Hank who wore his best shirt and shorts and to say Amanda's parents were shocked by the sight of another blue furred mutant was an understatement. They actually thought they were related.
After about fifteen minutes of silence it was Jean who broke the silence. "Mr. and Mrs. Sefton, do you have any questions, ask anything at all."
Mr. Sefton bit his lower lip before asking, "How can you assure our daughter won't be harmed, she's already an outcast for associating with you students."
-HOMe protect her.- the alien said while clinging to the ceiling.
"Oh and how do you propose to protect her when she's at home, how will we know she's safe?" Mrs. Sefton asked with a concerned look on her face.
-HOMe protect his family, all of them.- his reply was as stern as it could possibly be.
"Oh dear." The Professor said, "It seems HOMe has already adopted you into his family view Amanda. It's definitely something to be flattered about."
"Flattered? That thing sees my daughter as what a sister?" Mr. Sefton yelped.
"Mr. Sefton please, HOMe is not a thing he is an extraterrestrial being."
"Oh, that's just so much more comforting." Mr. Sefton said ignoring the rest of the Professor's talk.
"Mr. SEFTON! If you will please listen!" The Professor snapped telepathically. "Now as I was saying, HOMe is quite loyal and has proven exactly how far he is willing to go to protect his family and friends on more than one occasion."
"Name on prime example." Mr. Sefton dared. His dare caused Kitty, who was already stressed to snap.
"HOMe saved my life by jumping out of a jet and plummeting to the earth to stop a bunch of mutant hating bastards from killing me! How's that for loyalty!" she screamed as she ran out, Lance following close behind.
"Yeah!" Bobby agreed, slamming his hand on the table causing his spoon of beans to fly into Kurt's face. "Oh man, blue dude, I'm sorry."
"Ja, zats okay Iceman, it actually wouldn't feel right if zat didn't happen." Kurt said as he collapsed his face into his folded arms.
"Why is that, Kurt?" Mrs. Sefton asked, concern crossing her face.
"Oh, vell you know ze story: Mutant boy meets girl, Mutant boy hides true form, Girl really knows true form, Toad ruins first meeting vith ze parents, life follows suite." Kurt mad a few motions with his hands.
"Now, Kurt that's no way to think just because your different." Mrs. Sefton said putting her napkin down and taking his cloven hand "You have got the power to rise up and let your voice be heard! Say it with me, all of you. HOMe you too."
"Uh, mom…" Amanda had a worried look in her eyes.
"Quite honey your mom has just found a new reason to go into civil liberties overdrive. She hasn't been like this since high school." Mr. Sefton said eyeing his wife in a strange manner.
"Um… does zis mean Amanda and I can see each other again?" Kurt asked in a very confused tone as Mrs. Sefton continued chanting her mantra.
"Yes, Kurt. You can see Amanda, so long as you promise to keep her safe." Mr. Sefton said in a stern protective father voice.
"Zat should be no problem." Kurt said while trying to untangle Mrs. Sefton's hands from his own. Mr. Sefton finally had to grab her hands away and hold them. The rest of the meal went very smoothly and the Seftons actually got to like most of the X-Men, save for John who had gotten out of his room and came running down the stairs in his underwear, it took HOMe, Artisan and Jean to drag him back up.
When it was time for the Seftons to go they agreed to let Amanda stay a while longer, provided Scott or Logan drove her back. Needless to say from there on out everyone went their own ways. HOMe went searching for one of his rarely known about "treasures", an item that held great meaning to him, tonight it was one of Logan's old samurai stories. He was half way trough the last page when the door bell rang, and his instincts took over. He dashed to the door as quick as possible.

When the Professor had answered the door he was to say the least surprised to see Tabitha Smith standing in the rain, but what shocked him even more was the fact that her stomach was very round and she was obviously very pregnant.
"I know what you're gonna say, but please don't." the young girl looked to the ground ashamed. "I just need a place to stay for the night."
"Young lady, you will need more than a single night here if you plan to keep your child safe." The Professor said in a very calm but obviously angry tone. "Please go wait in my office…" He noticed Tabby's face change from shame to horror "Oh no…" Seconds later an ear splitting scream filled the mansion. Everyone came running, and they were all shocked by what they saw.
"Tabby, you're back… and like pregnant." Kitty said, surprised by the situation.
"Children please go back to what you were doing… NOW" Ororo snapped. "Come child, we must talk. And you have no need to fear HOMe, he's one of us." Ororo said as she lead the trembling Tabby past the tail-wagging xenomorph.
-HOMe doe something wrong?- He asked the Professor as he walked along side him to the office.
"No, HOMe you did nothing wrong. Tabitha has just gotten herself in a very difficult situation and we need to help her. You should come in, she'll need to get used to you." The Professor opened the door to his office and entered, HOMe closed it after he came in.
AN: Well hows that for a shocker, I actually didn't plan that. It just came to me when I realized that I had too much plot and not enough stuffing. And no Sebastian I WILL NEVER ADD FREDDY AND/OR JASON TO ANY HOMe FIC EVER! By the way anyone remember "Creature"(the super-intelligent Gremlin) from Gremlins 2: The new batch? No? You will…
