The Uncanny R-Man: Yes I did, actually it's the only issue I have of Generation-X and now I'm glad I got it. And as for Cortez, I just wanted to bring that jerk into the story.

DemonRogue13: Alright I'll see if I can fit anything in for you.

Red Witch: Oh yes, I know it isn't easy, but I struggle on somehow.

NctrnlBst: Really? That's weird. Well I'm glad you got something posted anyways.

yae yang: So she's one of you favorites huh? You'll have to wait a bit for that though.

jadestar123: Thanks, I wanted to make that chapter a little different.

Ruby: Thanks for the info, some of that I knew, but you filled in some of the blanks. Not only that but I you just game me an idea for a few chapters. Thanks! (Don't be surprised if a have to change a few things because this is the evolution world.)

A/N: I'd like to thank ST Pika for letting use the prank in this chapter, which was originally part of that author's story "A New Beginning A New World". It was hilarious and I just had to use it.

FAMILY AFFAIRS

CHAPTER 6: A NOT SO QUIET AFTERNOON


Scott was in his chair by his desk, reading the latest e-mail from his brother. There was a knock on his door just then. "Come in." The door opened and Jean walked in, Scott immediately felt the day was better whenever she was in the same room as him.

Jean walked over to where he was sitting and placed her arms over his shoulders from behind looking at the screen of the computer. "So what are you doing?" She smiled.

Scott couldn't help but smile back. "Just finished reading something from Alex."

She took her eyes off the screen and then looked at him. "Anything interesting?"

Scott shook his head. "Not really but it's nice to just talk about nothing anyways."

"I know, I can relate. I try and keep in touch with my little sister Sara whenever I can." Jean told him.

Scott smiled at the memory of first meeting her sister a few years after Jean moved in here. She seemed nice enough, even though he barely knew her. "So what are you up to today?" He asked his girlfriend.

"I got something to do with Xavier. Together we're teaching Gale and Dani to control their mental powers and how to build up shields." She told him.

"Does Gale still get headaches like you get sometimes?" Scott asked concerned.

Jean sighed. "Yeah, the professor thinks that with mental powers headaches just go with the territory. The shields and exercises help to stop them and strengthen our control. But stress still makes us get them."

Scott started rubbing Jean's hand with his. "I know they'll do well with you helping them." Jean smiled at his support. "I just hope you aren't so bored with me busy an all."

"Kurt knock it off already!" Rogue's shout was then heard.

Scott turned to Jean. "It hasn't been 'quiet' here since we started getting more mutants here." Jean sighed and had to give him that. She kissed the top of his head. "Well maybe when all is quiet tonight we can have a little alone time." She said suggestively.

Scott got a grin on his face. "I'll be looking forward to it.
IN THE LIVING ROOM

Rogue was currently arguing with Kurt in the living room. "Look Kurt enough is enough. Ah know you're mah brotha and all but this overprotective stuff has ta end. Ah mean ya know Vincent and meh are takin' it slow."

Kurt held up his hands in defense. "Ja, ja, I know. But I just can't help it. You're mien sister, I have to look out for you."

"Kurt, I'm older then ya, so ah should be the one lookin' out for ya. Ah mean ah don't get overprotective of ya and Amanda are together."

"Ja I know. I'm sorry. I know he's a good guy, but vhen I see you two getting so...close, I can't but help it." Kurt said calmly. He knew he was being irrational but he never had a sibling until he came here and he was just making up for lost time.

Rogue rolled her eyes at him. "Ah know too, but this is really getting' old fast. The fact that ya don't seem ta think either him or meh would wait before we go as far as ya thinking is pissin' meh off. Ah got ta go and cool off before I do somethin' ah might regret." She said then turned to leave.

She walked down the hall in a bad mood. She found Vincent playing a game against Ray in the rec. room. She waited until Ray had beaten him. "Ray ah need ta speak ta Vincent." Ray looked at her then shrugged. "Sure." Then went back to the game. Not a good move on his part.

Rogue walked over and grabbed his ear. "Maybe ah wasn't clear. I-NEED-TA- TALK-TA-HIM." She said slowly and forcefully then let go. Ray rubbed his ear and was about to make a comment but the look from Rogue caused him to think twice and leave without a word.

Rogue plopped herself on the couch and Vincent got up off the ground and walked over to her and sat down. He put his arm around her. "So what's wrong?" He asked seriously.

"Kurt." She said plainly and he knew what she was referring to.

"Yeah I know he cornered me today and asked what and I quote 'Vhat are you're intentions towards mien sister?' unquote.

Rogue broke a small smile at his impression of Kurt. "I think that guy won't give up until he actually 'catches us in the act' or something." He said to her. Rogue's eyes lighted up.

"Ah think ya just gave meh an idea." She said to him. He gave her a confused look and she whispered her idea to him.

"That's completely cruel and nasty...I like it." He said with a wolfish smile. "But I think we might need a little help in order to make sure Kurt gets there." He thought for a moment. "I'll get Jamie. With his multiples it should be fairly easy and you know how he loves to try and out do Kurt."
XAVIER'S OFFICE

Dani, and Gale were sitting in the office with Xavier and Jean. For the past hour they had been teaching the girls how to construct mental barriers to hold back their powers. It was always difficult at first but the girls proved to be patient.

"I think we'll take a break for now." Xavier said as he sensed the fatigue of the girls. Both of the girls looked relieved to have a break.

"That's a lot tougher then I thought it was going to be." Gale said rubbing her temples.

Dani currently hand a hand on her forehead. "Tell me about it. But I'd rather go through this then having my powers give everyone nightmares all the time."

"I know what you girls are going through." Jean said compassionately. "I had the same trouble of keeping everyone's thoughts out of my head. It takes time, but it is worth it. I guess every type of mental powers comes with some kind of mental problems with it."

"Um Jean...could you not say mental problems...that makes it sound like we're crazy or something." Gale said to the telepath.

Jean winched and thought she was right. "Sorry about that, how about mental challenges or something?"

"As long as it isn't mental problems I'm fine with it." Gale said with a small smile.

"I'm not sure about that one either." Dani said looking like she was thinking about it. "It sounds a little too similar to mentally challenged."

Gale snorted a laugh at it, while Jean tried to think of another term to use. "Perhaps we should put that off for now." Xavier said to them, mostly Jean.
SAM'S ROOM

Sam in the room he was sharing with Ray. He was at the desk writing the last letter of a series of letters. He was so into it he didn't notice from the open door someone sneak in and creep up behind him.

Suddenly he found a pair of hands covering his eyes. "Guess who?" Said a very familiar voice. Sam couldn't help but smile.

"Amara I told you not here, Tabby might see us." He joked. Tabitha however who was the one behind him, pulled her hands away and hit him on the arm.

"You better be kidding about that." She snapped. Sam turned to face his girlfriend rubbing his arm from where she hit him.

"Of course." He said quickly before she hit him again. "Ya know I only got eyes for ya." Tabitha thought about one more shot in the arm but decided against it. Instead she smiled and went to sit on his lap, and threw her arms over his neck.

Even though they had been going out for months whenever Tabitha got close like that he couldn't help but blush slightly. Tabitha on the other hand looked at the desk and the pile of letters and acted like this was normal. But since this is Tabitha, that might be the case with her.

"So what'ca doing?" She asked as sweetly as she could, while looking at all the envelopes.

"Just finishin' up writing to my family." Sam said to her.

She looked at all the envelopes. "Do you write a letter to each member?" Sam nodded his head and Tabby looked back to the small pile. "Damn, that's got to take a while."

"That's why I only do it once a week." Sam said. By now he had worked up the nerve to put one of his arms around her waist, much to her pleasure.

"So what do you tell them about? Do they know you got a girlfriend?" She teased.

"Of course." Sam said proudly. "They know all about you, I even sent them a picture of us."

Tabitha jerked her head around to face Sam. "You're kidding?" She saw that he wasn't. "Wow, I mean, I don't really talk to my mom, but and my father can go to Hell, so I never thought of telling them anything. So...what do they think of me?" She asked dreading the answer.

Sam smiled at her. "They think y'all are nice and they actually want to meat you one day."

Tabitha was flabbergasted. She didn't think she was the kind of girl you take home to meet your parents type of girl. She didn't know what to think. Luckily a sudden scream of "VHAT ARE YOU DOING VITH MEIN SISTER?" could be heard and then another scream from a girl was heard. They both looked out the door where it came from.

"What was that?" Sam said slightly concerned something bad had happened.

"Well let's find out then." Tabitha told him, getting up and grabbing his hand and dragging him out the door.
ROGUE'S ROOM – 10 MINUTES EARLIER

Currently Vincent and Rogue were carrying out their plan against Kurt. Both of them had a bundle of clothes in their arms. And Vincent was currently talking to Jamie by the door.

"So you got all of that?" He asked the young boy.

Jamie did a mock military salute. "Got it. I'll wait a couple of minutes before I start things off." Vincent nodded and when Jamie left he used his foot to close the door.

"Well this should be interesting." Vincent said with a huge grin while placing spare clothing on the ground. Rogue was doing the same. So far they had a pair of pants, and a skirt near the door, and the tops leading to her bed.

Vincent then threw down a pair of black boxer and Rogue looked at them then at him. "What?" He asked innocently. "I thought we were going for realism so I brought a pair."

Rogue thought about it. "Ah guess it would be a help." She made her way to the dresser and pulled out a black bra and panties. She noticed Vincent trying not to look and swallowed a little hard, while trying not to blush.

She grinned at him. She thought he looked sweet like that. Then he suddenly got a look in his eyes. "I'll be right back." He said quickly then opened the door and speed off in a blur.

She was a little irritated he would just take off like that, but he was back in a few seconds with a CD. "I'd figured this would help sell it."

She took the CD from him. It was a Bon Jovi CD. She raised an eyebrow at him with a look that said 'why do you have this?' kind of look. He held his hands up in defense. "What? It was a gift."

She continued to give him the look. "It was...alright so I also like a few of the songs happy?"

She shook her head and placed it in her stereo. As the music started she walked up to Vincent then to his surprise she placed several kisses on his face. He gave a surprised look at her. "For effect." She said and went to the bed.

He looked in the mirror then saw all the purple lipstick marks on his face and gave a laugh.
LIVING ROOM

Kurt was sitting on the couch flipping through the channels, his tail flopping from side to side carelessly. He was getting bored since there was nothing really interesting to watch this moment.

"Hey Kurt." Kurt turns to see Jamie standing by the door.

"Hey, vhat's up?" Kurt says happily, knowing Jamie he might have something to do, since he was at times, looking for others to play with.

"I was wondering, is Vincent helping Rogue move her furniture around?" Jamie innocently asked him. Kurt looks a little confused, luckily he couldn't see Jamie hold a hand behind his back giving the thumbs up sign.

This in turn was seen by one of his dupes by the stairs who passed it on to the one at the top, and he passed it to the one in the hall and so on until the one next to Rogue's closed door knocked three times paused then twice more.

All the dupes then made their way to the corner out of sight of Rogue's room.

Back with the original Jamie and Kurt, Jamie was continuing on. "You see I heard something like the bed banging against a wall or something, and I also heard some kind of grunting or groaning, but don't they have super strength though?"

Kurt however looked confused then he suddenly got a look of pure horror on his face. He ported right out of there and outside Rogue's door. He could hear some music playing, and he thought he caught someone singing 'I'll lay you down on a bed of roses' in the room.

While inside Rogue and Vincent were together and had carefully place the covers not to show their clothing. "I don't think he's taking the bait." Vincent whispered to her.

"Ah got an idea, just follow mah lead." She said. He was a little uncertain of what she meant then she shouted out loud several 'oh gods', and 'yeses'. What really surprised him was how authentic it sounded. So Vincent threw in a few of his own.

Now THAT was enough for Kurt and he opened the door quickly. "Vhat's going on in-"But stopped. His eyes locked on to clothing on the floor first and made their way to the bed. Where Vincent was on top of Rogue and her hands placed on the back of his head.

In his best panicked expression Vincent looked at Kurt like he really was caught. "It's not what you think." He said quickly. Rogue nearly had to bite her lip to stop from laughing at that point.

Kurt just stood there with a look of pure horror frozen on his face. "Kurt could ya come back in fifteen minutes?" Rogue asked him. That was enough to shake him out of his frozen state.

"VHAT ARE YOU DOING VITH MEIN SISTER?" He yelled at the top of his voice.

"Um...playing 'doctor'? Vincent offered.

It was going pretty well until Kitty who was next door in her room had hear the commotion. She phased herself through the wall into the room. "Guys, what's going on?" Then she noticed the scene and screamed and covered her eyes. "I'm-sorry-I'm-sorry-I'm-sorry." She kept saying at near Pietro like speed.

Multiple had pulled himself together by now and was covering his mouth from holding in the laughter. In fact his whole face was red from it and he look dangerously close to falling on the floor and burst out laughing on it.

Sam and Tabitha came running up to him. "Yo Jamie what's going on?" Tabitha said to him. Jamie could only point and the two looked inside Rogue's room.

"Whoa!" Sam blurted out and then quickly moved himself against the wall outside her room covering his eyes. Tabitha on the other hand was a different story.

She gave Rogue the thumbs up. "You go girl." She said with a grin.

Kurt looked at Tabitha like she was crazy and then back at the two in the bed. Vincent and Rogue were about to reveal the joke when another person not only unexpectedly showed up, but who they really didn't want to see this.

"What's goin' on over here." Said the angry voice of Logan, then when he got to the door and looked in, his eyes widened in surprise then his face contorted in anger.

"Ah crap I'm a dead man." Vincent said seeing the Wolverine's expression. Logan charged in and unsheathed his claws. Everyone gave him room as he crossed it.

Vincent flew up (literally) off the bed taking the cover with him. All those in the room quickly averted their eyes not wanting to see the two supposedly naked teens. "Guys it was just a joke on Kurt relax." Vincent said to them.

The all looked to find both of them fully dressed. The looks they saw on the faces of everyone was priceless, and the two of them could no long hold it back anymore and burst out laughing.

Logan just scowled deeply made a large growl and stalked out of the room. Kitty placed her hand over her hear. "I'm like going back to my room before I have a heart attack." And she phased through the wall.

Sam, Tabitha and Jamie were sharing in the laughing and decided the show was over and walked off still laughing. Kurt was the only one left standing dumbfounded in the room.

"Vhy?" He only asked.

"Because ah didn't think ya would give up bugging meh about this until you 'caught' us. So ah hope this serves as a lesson to ya." She said to her brother.

"Alright, I get it. Just do me a favor...NEVER DO ZAT TO ME AGAIN!" He shouted and teleported out of the room.

"Think he learned his lesson?" Vincent said to her, levitating himself back down to the floor.

Rogue thought about it for a moment. "Ah think so, but we could always do it again if he starts back up again."

"Why miss Rogue, if I didn't know any better I swear you're just trying to get me into bed. What kind of guy to do you take me for?" He asked in a mocking, yet humorous tone.

She hit him in his arm. "You're a guy, ya'll think about that."

"Okay I'll give you that." He said rubbing his arm where she hit him. Normally someone doing that didn't hurt, but since she now had strength close if not equal to him, it did hurt.

"Come on and help meh with this, and take that CD out will ya." Rogue said to him, while picking up her clothes.
