Chapter 6
Kathy was sitting in a tree reading Skies of Pern. She loved sitting in the tree and reading a good book. Being in a tree gave her a sense of security and let her survey the landscape that she loved so much. She put down her book and looked around.
"With all this land, the Professor should put a motocross race track." Kathy said. She loved doing things that girls weren't meant to do. Jean always likes to tease her by calling her one of the guys. Kathy couldn't help it, she felt more at ease around men. She could tell them her weird stuff, which the girls would find well, just not interesting. Kathy took a swig of beer.
BAMF
"Ah ha! Caught in za crime." Kurt said as he hung upside down from a branch.
"Aw blow it out your branch." Kathy went back to her book.
"You really should stop drinking zat Australian beer Kathy." Kurt said. Kathy closed her book and put it down.
"Oh yeah? Well you should stop drinking your German beer." Kathy took another swig of her Fosters beer.
"I'm German, I can drink German beer, but your um… your… Vat are you anvays?"
"I'm part Serbian, Polish, Irish, Australian, British, German, Canadian, French, Macedonian, and descendent of Alexander the Great." Kathy said with one breath. Kurt looked at her in aw.
"Maybe I should start calling you Kathy za Great. How diverse is your family tree?" Kurt asked with a raised eyebrow.
Kathy shrugged. "I dunno."
Just then a huge shadow of griffon papered. It was Tobius. He landed and you could see he was carrying something in a small body bag. Hi everybody. Tobius said like the Simpsons Dr. Nick
"Hi Dr. Doofus." Kathy said as she jumped down from the tree and landed on her feet.
Ha, ha, very funny" Tobius was mixing his mind speak with talking as he morphed into himself.
"Vat's in za bag?"
"Tobius! Did you finally kill Principal Kelly!" Kathy said with glee
"I wish, but this is better. C'mon, I'll show inside."
Inside Tobius showed everyone the thing in the bag.
"Where did it come?" Jamie inquired
"Country Club." Tobius said
"I knew that place was weird. There're making monsters." Jamie said
"The mind of a child taints the truth." Kathy said as she took pictures of the thing. Just then it hit Tobius.
"Hey, your wearing my Static-X t-shirt!"
"Nothing gets past you bro."
"Back to the thing." Scott said, "so what is it?"
"It is a interstellar amphibious creature from the far reaches of the universe from a planet that holds life." Kathy said. They all looked at her. "An alien."
"Yeah right. Aliens don't exist. Besides even it they do, where did it come from?" Scott said.
"Maybe my little theory was true, no." Kathy said as she took more pictures of the thing.
"I don't know, was Forge experimenting on Kurt's teleportation again?" Jean said
"No, I haven't even gone near to thinking that." Forge said.
"What do you mean?" Kathy asked
"Forge experimented on Kurt once to improve his teleporting, but Kurt goes through other dimensions when he teleports, so the portals, I guess that's what I should call it, never closed and theses weird things came out." Jean explained
"Ja, and it vas driving me insane." Kurt shot Forge a look.
"Cool! You go through other dimensions as you port! Awesome, I would love to see what lives in that dimension." Kathy said.
"Nien, not cool, not at all. Za zings tried to kill me." Kurt said in a frantic voice. "Besides, I'm not a lab rat."
"Of course not, you're a blue furred lab demon." Tobius said. Kurt gave him a look. "What." He gave Tobius a hard punch in the arm. "Hey, that hurt."
"Good. It vas supposed to hurt." Kurt ported off.
Kathy gave him a look. "Good going Tob." Kathy cut open the throat of the thing. She pulled out Tobius' car keys. "Good, that thing ate his car keys." Kathy smiled and threw them in the trash.
"Hey, what the hell!" Tobius dug out his keys from the trash. "I need those to get my car back." Tobius walked out the door and morphed into a hawk.
"Jerk. I can see why girls don't even stay for the whole date. My brother has an ego the size of the USSR." Kathy went back to examining the thing that lie on the table.
Kurt sat on his balcony ledge. "Tobius. My so called friend. Vy I vant to…"
"Hey blue boy." Kathy stood at his door way. She made her way through the clutter of clothes lying around. "Don't listen to him. Tob doesn't mean it, he just doesn't know what to say." Kathy said as she rubbed his back.
"Ja I know, but it bugs me. I just can't get over being called a demon. It just reminds me of vat happened to me once." Kurt sighed. His shoulders sank in relaxation as Kathy continued to give him a back massage. "You are really good at zat." Kurt said half asleep. Kathy smiled to herself. Despite the way she acted, Kathy was a loyal person that didn't like seeing her friends hurt. Especially Kurt. Kathy knew he was vulnerable, she could sense it on him at school the most. He didn't even have to tell her that he was vulnerable, her instincts told her, the instincts she used to use to kill people with, now had a new use: to comfort.
"If I were you I'd get ready so we could leave for the movies soon." Kathy said. Kurt just nodded dreamily. If he was a cat, he would purr. Kathy loved to get close to Kurt, he was the only person like her, different but more human than anyone else. She stopped and patted his back. Kurt woke up from the little spell.
"Vat, done already?" Kurt said in a pitiful voice.
"Yes, sorry, but we have to go. Come on get ready and meet me down stairs." Kathy walked out of Kurt's room. Just then Kurt felt like putty.
