It was a very rainy day at the mansion. There seemed to be nothing to do. Boredom had taken over the institute and there were only board games to amuse them. Even the foosball table didn't look entertaining.

Bobby, John, Kitty and Rogue sat on the sofa staring at the raindrops as they hit the window. "Do you think it would be painful do be a raindrop?" Kitty asked.

"Painful?" Bobby laughed. He hadn't laughed in hours. "I don't think water can feel pain, Kitty."

"It could hurt." Rogue suggested. "I mean getting smashed against windows, being pulled apart by the heat..."

"Ya." John was deep in thought. "You know, it might actually be nice. You'd get to see different places and from all kinds of different perspectives." He sighed, and wished that it would stop raining.

The four students sat glumly in their chairs. "Do you think it'll ever stop raining?" Bobby asked with a reply of small shrugs and grunts. He turned over, grabbed a pillow then threw it at his friend.

Kitty screamed. "Oh you're in for it!" She declared as she swung a sofa cushion around. They all began to fight with the pillows and cushions. The students laughed as they swung around. Suddenly, a rainy day didn't seem like such a big deal.

"What do think you're doing?" asked a furious Scott with Jean and Storm behind him.

"Well... ah... we were... You know... Um..." Kitty struggled through her words as she stared at the three teachers.

"I see." Replied Scott. "There'll be no more cushion fighting here. And clean up the mess." Everyone looked around. There was only the cushions missing from the sofa. There was no mess. Just the same, they cleaned it up. They all sat down.

"This sucks!" said an unhappy John.

Kitty was the first to speak up. "I have an idea!" The young girl bounced up from her seat. She grabbed the little ball. "What do you say we give these little men a work out?" She asked, spinning the foosball players around. Her friends agreed, and got up from their unpleasantness.

"Girl vs. guys." Rogue decided.

Logan watched from a distance. They all seemed so happy, if only he felt that way. Ever since he had come back, nothing was the same.

Before they began the play, Kitty made one thing very clear. "We're gonna kick your ass!"
