Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Hello?" Professor Xavier answered the phone in his office.

"Oh, hello," the Professor said, recognizing the person on the other line.

"Yes. Yes. The offer still stands." He nodded his head. "I'm glad you have accepted it."

"Of course," Xavier said, "Good day." The Professor hung up the phone. "I hope that the others take this well," Xavier said to himself.

~~ Jean? Can you hear me? ~~ Xavier thought.

~~ Yes Professor. Is something wrong? ~~ Jean thought back.

~~ No, no. I just need you to tell the others there will be a meeting in my office as soon as you return from school. ~~

~~ Alright, Professor. See you soon. ~~

" I wonder what he like wants to talk to us about, you know," Kitty pondered. She was walking down the hall with Rogue, Jean, Scott, Evan, and Kurt. They were heading towards Professor Xavier's office.

"I don't know either. He just told me for us to meet in his den. I'm sure it's just about the Christmas party, or something just like that," Jean assured Kitty. The X-Men walked into the Professor's office to see him talking to Ororo and Logan.

"I don't think that they're going to take this well, Charles," Wolverine argued.

"I agree with Logan, Charles. They won't like this," Ororo said.

"Oh. Sorry to interrupt," Jean said politely.

"Nonsense. Come on in and take a seat everyone. I have some important news for you all," Xavier said smiling. Everyone sat down and waited expectantly. "We are going to have a few more guests for the Christmas party."

"Really? Like totally cool. Who are they?" Kitty asked excitedly.

"Well...the Brotherhood will be joining us." The Professor waited for their reaction. They all stared at him as if he were crazy.

"Hahahaha! That's a good one Prof.," Evan laughed.

"I'm sorry, Evan, but I wasn't joking," Xavier said, knowing this was how they would react.

"Why?! Why are they coming?" Scott asked angrily as the information sunk in. Everyone knew how much he hated Lance. They also knew that Evan didn't exactly... get along with Pietro either. If you put them in a room together, when you came back there probably wouldn't be anything left of them.

"Everyone, Christmas they have no place to go, and I felt that they should enjoy Christmas," Charles explained. "Christmas is a time of sharing and happiness. For once, forget that they are our enemies and share the holiday with them." (A.N. I know, I know. It's very corny. Give me a break. I couldn't really come up with something.)

The X-Men knew that that was the end of the argument. The Brotherhood would be coming for Christmas and that was that.

"Ugh. I swear, like, that just totally ruins everything," Kitty said, pacing her and Rogue's room. Rogue was sitting on her bed watching her friend pace. Rogue looked over at Kitty's alarm clock. It was almost time for bed.

"Would ya stop tha'," Rogue said angrily in her southern accent. "You're makin' me dizzy."

"I like can't help it," Kitty sighed, sitting herself down. "Lance and I aren't talking ever since this stupid fight we had, I like totally loath Pietro, and Fred and Todd are like so totally gross sometimes."

"Try livin' with 'em," Rogue said, trying not to laugh at the sudden face Kitty pulled at the thought.

"How on Earth did you like stand it?" Kitty asked, finding it unbelievable that someone could survive in their "house" with them.

"Trust me, Ah really don't know," Rogue said. The girls looked at each other and broke into quiet laughter. When they both quieted down, Rogue looked at Kitty. "Ya know tha' you can tell me if somethin' is wrong, righ'?"

"Yah. I, like, know. Why did you like bring that up?" Kitty replied.

"Ah was just thinkin' that ya were kinda actin' a little strange today when I met with ya at your locker," Rogue said.

"Oh, like that," Kitty said a little nervously. "I was just spacing out, that's all. It wasn't that big of a deal."

"Okay. Whatever ya say," Rogue said, obviously believing Kitty. For now at least. "It's gettin' late. We should get some sleep." Rogue yawned as she reached over to turn her tamp off. "Nigh' Kitty."

"Like, goodnight Rogue," Kitty said between her own yawn. She slipped under the covers and reached over to turn out her lamp too. She instantly fell asleep, all her worries leaving her just for that night. Although, she knew that they'd be waiting for her once she woke up.
