Thank you so much for the great reviews fifol! Sniff yes the story was
heartouching. Before you read this chap I want to introduce my made-up for
all you fifol who don't knw her.
Pepper Rose aka Flamable, she got her name from Logan. Shes a girl with bloody red hair and bright red eyes. She can generate radioactive waves causing anything in her way to explode or burn through her feelings and mind, and that gets her in trouble most of the time. She has a fiery attitude not to mention she can get moody at times but shes the the typical cute, weird, happy-go-lucky nine year old whos just like youre lil annoying sister. Although she hates being treated like a kid, you know kiddy nicknames, cooing, noogies and bossing her around, and she tries to fit in with the teens.
In the meantime, Pep an energetic and restless kid who has been trying to sleep for the past hours was listening to Emotionless and singing with it from the next room. She didn't know Kurt could sing so well but why was he crying? As soon as she heard a crash in his room she quickly jumped out of her bed and rushed to his room.
"Kurt what the heck is going on there?" she banged on his door.
"Go away!" answered a cold voice.
"Man what's his problem." Pep thought. "Dude I've been trying to sleep for the past few hours."
"So have I!"
"What's eating you?"
"Go vack zu bed!" he growled.
"I can't!"
"Then just go vack zu your room isn't zat hard!"
"Were you listening to Emotionless?"
"No! Ja! Why!"
"Nothing I just like that song that's all."
"Oh really..." he looked annoyed.
"I heard somethin crash. Can I come in?"
"Fine!" he unlocked the door with his tail.
"Thanks." Pep opened the door and saw a dark room but the light from the hallway was bright enough to see broken glass and a diskman on the floor. "Whoa what happened here?"
"Zon't ask." His voice came from the ceiling.
"Kurt whatcha doing up there." Pep could picture him hanging with his tail wrapped around the ceiling light.
"Nothin...I'm zust thinking."
"Bout what?"
Kurt unwrapped his tail and fell but teleported just before he reached the ground and appeared standing up right infront of the nine-year old.
"Is it about your family cause I always have problems with mine you know." Pep hid her tears.
"Vell ja kinda." He sat on the bed and looked at the two pictures.
Pep joined him and turned on the lamp. "Who's this?" Pep asked pointing to the pic of he and his foster parents.
"Oh zats my parents from Germany."
"Cool!"
"And of course you know Rogue."
"Duh."
"Man Pep youre alvays ze one who brightens up fifol."
"I am?...no I'm not." She folded her arms.
"Dude of course you are." He ruffled her bloody red hair.
"Don't let me hurt you!"
"Oh yeah." He grinned.
"So what were you thinking bout that made you cry?" Pep asked.
"Cry?"
"I bet the whole mansion heard it."
"I vasn't crying."
"C'mon Kurt admit it." She looked at him straight at the eye.
"Ok I vas vout zont you dare tell anevone."
"Sure no prob. Um back to youre family."
"Ok you better pwomise not to tell anevone I told you zis or else ze Professor will blame me."
"Of course you'll get blamed." She joked.
"Pep zis is serious!"
"Ok I promise." She crossed her fingers hidden behind her back.
"Cause if you zont I'm gonna tickle you zu death!"
Pep hated being tickled especially by Kurt. "I promise! I'm to young to die!" she sweared.
Kurt couldn't help but laugh. Ever since Pep came to the institute he had never been so close to a kid before. He loved making fun of her, treating her like a kid which she hated. "Remember Mystique?" he whispered.
"Ya you promise to tell me who she is anyway."
"Ja vatever, do you cant to hear avout it or not?"
"Ok shoot!"
The next day...outside...
It was a cloudy Saturday morning and Rogue had been up since 5:00am enjoying the nature around her as much as she could before the others wake up and ruin her day. She mostly did this every Saturday at 5:00am when everyone was asleep. It was the only time she could be alone for while. She rested under a tree writing in her journal like ussual. Everything was perfect the way she it was, the air was chilly, the grass was soft and silence was around her except the noisy birds that were on top the tree. But there was something wrong today. For some reason she knew something was not right. From where she was, she spotted a figure walking around the institute grounds.
"Oh great just what I need to ruin mah day!" she groaned and dropped her journal. "Show yah self. Ah don't care."
There was no answer from the figure.
"Hello?"
Still no answer.
"Kitty is that you?"
Still no answer.
"Jean?"
She stood and went closer to her and saw it was a kid.
"Pepper is that you?"
For the 4th time there was still no answer. Rogue couldn't take it anymore and decided to find out for herself. "Ok if its one of yah pranks I swear I'm gonna suck all the..." she pulled the kid by the arm. Rogue stopped when the girl turned her back. A little girl with golden blonde hair tied in pigtails, wearing a torn jacket, raggy jeans and worn out sneakers stared eye to eye with her watery blue eyes.
Rogue let go of her arm and kneeled down at the child. She couldn't tell how old she was but guessed about 6 years old. What was she doing here? How did she get here?
"Ah...ahm so sorry, ah thought you wah someone else." Rogue stammered.
The girl kept staring at her with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong sugah? Why ah yah crying?"
The mysterious girl didn't say anything but just hugged Rogue. Good thing she wore her trench coat otherwise she could've knocked the poor child.
"How did yah get in here?" Rogue suddenly asked.
"I...don't...know...?" were her first words.
"Yah don't know?"
"I...was...lost..."
"Where are youre parents?" Rogue started asking specific questions.
"I...don't...know?"
"Yah don't know where yah parents are?"
"I...don't...know?" was all she could say.
"Do yah have ah name? Ah bet yah do."
"My...name...is...is..."
"Yes?"
"Muriel..." she finally answered.
"Muriel I love youre name."
"Thank you." She smiled for the first time.
"Yah must be freezing out here." Rogue took off her trench coat and wrapped it around the freezing child.
"Thank you."
"Ah suggest we get yah inside and warm yah up. Man ah have no idea how to explain this to the Professah." Rogue led her inside the living room and made her sit in the couch and wrapped her in a really warm blanket.
"Yah stay right here. Ah'll be back with some food and hot cocoa ok." She smiled at Muriel and scurried off to the kitchen.
Muriel in the meantime had been enjoying the warmness and hospitality of Rogue until someone interrupted her.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Aiiiiiiiiiia!"
"BOOM!"
Hearing this Rogue dropped the plate of cookies and spilled the steaming hot cocoa on her shirt.
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow!" she grabbed a book and fanned herself. Then quickly ran to the living room to see what happened.
"Rogue there's something in that blanket!" Pep was on the floor with an exploded lamp next to her.
"Pep what have yah done!" she rushed to Muriel who was hiding under the blanket.
"Who's that!" Pep stood up and saw the girl.
"Pep ah can't believe yah almost scared her tah death." Rogue hugged the shaking Muriel.
"I didn't mean to and why is there hot cocoa on your shirt!" Pep pointed to the wet brown mark on her shirt.
"Never yah mind! Clean up the mess yah just blew up!" She ordered her.
"Sorry." Pep rolled her eyes and was on her way to the kitchen to get a broom and dustpan.
"Muriel are yah ok? Did yah get scared?" The kid nodded her head.
"You know this kid?" Pep was shocked.
"No ah...ah found her freezing outside just ah few minutes ago." Rogue explained but kept her eyes on the child.
"Oh my gosh is she alright?" Pep felt bad.
"She was but right aftah yah popped out and scared her like that...no!"
"Sheesh it's just an accident." Pep was getting annoyed.
"Dude zont just tell me Pep blew up something again!" Kurt suddenly bamf in the living room in his demon form.
"Kurt!" Rogue threw a blanket and covered his whole body making sure Muriel wouldn't see his appearance.
"Hey vats ze idea?" Kurt bamfed out of the blanket and was standing on top of the table infront of Muriel.
"Busted." Pep tried to hide her giggle.
Muriel didn't say anything but just stared at Kurt. She didn't even flinch or show any sign of fear. "Who are you?" she asked.
Kurt fell off the table. "Mein gott! Vat's a kid zoing here!" Kurt freaked.
"Yah intu...indu...your holowatch turn it on!" Rogue roared.
"Oh." Kurt was now in his human form.
"Man that was so weird. She didn't even flinched." Pep was wide mouth open.
"Muriel ah yah alright? That was just ah costume foh halloween sweetie." Rogue came up with an escuse.
"Who are you?" Muriel hadn't taken her eyes off Kurt yet.
"Me? My name is Kurt...vut you can me ze fuzzy dude..."
"Ah we all call him Kurt." Rogue pushed him out of the way.
"Ow you zidn't have zu do zat." He rubbed his head.
"He's funny." Muriel giggled.
Rogue and Kurt looked at each other and smiled and Pep just rolled her eyes.
"By the way I'm Rogue and this girl here is Pep." Muriel turned to Pep and gave her a weird look.
"I'm going to the kitchen and whip you up some cookies and hot cocoa just the way you want it." Pep forced a smile.
"Nah no thanks." Muriel shook her head.
"Ah yah sure? You wah hungry just a minute ago sugah." Rogue was confused.
"Yeah I'm sure."
"Fine I'll just have an early breakfast!" Pep took one last look at her and walked to the kitchen.
"Vats up vith her?" Kurt whispered to Rogue.
"Don't mind her." Rogue scuffed.
"I suggest ve take ze child to ze Professor." Kurt suggested.
"Yah its not like were gonna keep her right?"
"I sure hope ve can?" Kurt crossed his fingers.
"Come Muriel wah gonna pay ah little visit to tha Professoh." Rogue took her by the hand. Of course she was wearing gloves.
Pep watched them from the kitchen as Kurt bamfed them to the Professor's office.
So whatcha think of her? Muriel was a good friend of mine so I decided to use her name in memory of her. Of course all of you know who this kid really is. Thanks for lending your eyes and don't forget to review.
