Disclaimer: I don't own 'em. When I do, I will tell all of you and gloat.
Shout out's: Auramistealia- Thanks for helping me out with this chapter. And I'm so sorry that you have to read 'Of Mice and Men' but your soooo lucky that you don't have to read 'The Grapes of Wrath'.
Sci-fan-thanks for the ideas, but I think I've got a way that I can get ~Kitty to go to the school. But I can use the ~Kurt pretending to be Kurt's uncle idea later on in the story, maybe not for that scene though. Thanks again for the ideas.
The Incredible Nightcrawler- I would like it if Kitty got together with Kurt too, but in the comics version I like Amanda. We don't really know a lot about her in the Evolution version though. You liked the dishes part? Yeah I thought that would be something he would do to.
frizzy hair- you got your wish. :)
Rogue151- I watch the old cartoon mostly to see Gambit. lol. He's great in those.
StormHeart- you like the Kurtyness? Happy to oblige.
Georgia Peach- I love Lockheed too. And I loved the part in X23, where Kitty is sleeping with a stuffed purple dragon.
Chapter 7: The Plot Unfurls
When ~Kurt finished the apple he went back inside, turned off the image inducer, and headed for the kitchen. On his way he passed a rather flustered Jean who was talking to Scott about how they were going to be late because he hadn't been able to find his car keys. Rogue, Kitty, and *What's his name again? Oh, Evan.* fallowed in their wake.
When he made it to the kitchen ~Kitty was there, staring into her bowl of cereal woefully.
"You vere looking for me, Kätzchen?" he said as he sat down beside her.
~Kitty watched as she dropped her spoon into the milk and sugar coated corn puffs. "I woke up today and wondered why know one had gotten me up yet. Especially Lockheed, he's usually biting my feet in the morning to wake me up. And then I remembered. So I went looking for you, since you're the only thing familiar that's here."
"Should I be flattered?" ~Kurt said, smiling.
~Kitty flicked a sugar puff at him.
~Kurt caught it and examined it. "Do ve have these at home? And how can you eat this? It's just sugar."
"Uh huh. I eat them everyday." ~Kitty demonstrated how good they were by putting a spoonful in her mouth.
"No vonder your so peppy in the morning. You vere on a sugar high." ~Kurt said as he read the ingredients on the cereal box.
"Well, I'm not this morning. Do you think Ororo will remember to feed Lockheed?"
"I'm sure she will. And if she doesn't he vill mange to eat something. I just hope it's not someone."
Ignoring the tease about her beloved dragon, ~Kitty said, "It's weird to see Jean here."
~Kurt nodded his head, while pouring out some of the cereal into his hand, and eating it.
"You think she's going to die in this dimension?"
"I have no idea Kätzchen. So many things are different here, and yet some things are the same. Theirs an Amanda here. And she is going out vith Kurt. But then there's the fact that mein freund Peter is vorking for Magneto, and that Sunfire, Thunderbird, and Banshee don't seem to exist here, or they haven't met them yet. And there's Evan, who doesn't exist in our dimension."
~Kurt picked up the cereal box and poured more of the sugar puffs into his hand.
"Addictive, aren't they?" ~Kitty asked, amused.
"I'll be fat before ve get back to our dimension." he said agreeable.
"~Kurt, do you think we can get back?"
"The Professor said he would try, and remember, he said he knew someone vho could help."
"I wanna know why we're hear. You think those two people Kurt saw, Gambit and Pyro, had anything to do with it?"
"I don't know. It is possible I guess." ~Kurt said, as he looked sadly into the cereal box. All that was left were crumbs.
~*~ x ~*~
In a secret hide away, not that far from the Institute, a man screams at his lackeys.
"What do you mean 'They never arrived'!?"
Pyro played nervously with his ever present lighter. "We never saw them. Isn't it possible the machine didn't work?"
Magneto glared at him. "Are you suggesting that my machine, that I invented, didn't work?"
"N-n-nooo. But maybe something happened it had no control over?" Pyro said carefully.
"Yes, something happened. I sent two cretins to do the job!" Magneto's face was turning purple.
Gambit, who had been leaning against the wall, straightened up. "Pardon moi? Gambit don' think he heard you correctly?"
"You heard me! I sent you two to do a perfectly easy mission, stand in the correct location, turn the switch, greet our guests, and bring them here!"
"Oh no..." Pyro said, then placed his hand over his mouth when he realized he had said it out laud.
"What was that Pyro?"
"Umm..hehe...we had to be in the exact location for it to work?" the lid of the lighter was flipping up and down at a frantic rate.
Gambit stared at his cohort. "We weren't at de right spot? You had de map!"
"If we weren't at the exact spot we were very very close to it!"
Gambit slapped his forehead with the heal of his hand. Then he asked Magneto, "Why did you send Gambit and Pyro dere? Why not Colossus or Sabertooth?"
"I had considered you two to be the best of my lackeys, and whoever is standing at the specified location will attract their duplicates from the other dimension."
"You wanted doubles of us?" Pyro asked.
"Not anymore! When I try it again, I will send more competent people!" Magneto then stormed out of the room.
Pyro's lighter's lid finally broke and fell to the floor with a clang. The screw that had kept in attached to the rest of it had worked itself lose.
Gambit watched Pyro drop to the ground, searching for the elusive screw. "Dat's fine wit Gambit. He don't want to have a different dimension double of himself runnin' around."
"Yeah," Pyro agreed as he picked up the screw, "that would be creepy."
~~~~~~~~
So the story has a plot after all! How did you guys like that one? Review and tell me please! Also, I do realize I'm ignoring the 'New Recruits' and Hank McCoy. Sorry. It's much easier to write a story with a smaller cast. Oh, and Chapter 8 may take longer then usual, sorry.
