ACT THIRTEEN - Release.
---------------
After the whole musical dance scene, Lance and Kitty go off to a balcony, where they sit happily
"Kitty?", Lance asks, "Are you happy here with me?".
"Yes", rpelies Kitty, before sighing, looking into the distance.
"You could at least TRY to be honest", mutters Lance, "What is it?".
"If only I could see my father again, just for a moment", says Kitty, "I miss him so much".
"Awww, she misses me", says Forge form backstage.
Lance sighs before grinning
"Ooooh I got a way, and because I am a lovesick idiot, I'll show you".
They go into his lair and he hands her the magic mirror
"This mirror will show you anything, anything you wish to see", he explains, then pauses, "....except the inside of the girls locker room...not that i've tried....".
Kitty looks into the mirror before taking a deep breath
"I'd like to see my father, please", she says.
The mirror sparkles, then shows a picture of Mr Pryde mowing the lawn
"Er....wrong one", says Kitty, clearing her throat.
The mirror flashes again, then shows Forge lost in the woods, coughing and ill
"Papa, oh no!", gasps Kitty, "He's sick, and he may be dying, and..."
"Whoah!", says Forge, suddenly sitting up in the snow, "No one said anything about dying!".
"Shut up you and be ill!", snaps Kurt, "or I'll make sure you'll be dying for real!"
"Sorry", says Forge, "cough cough..splutter".
"....he's all alone", finishes Kitty.
Lance looks at the rose and sighs, turning back to Kitty
"Then...then you must go to him", he whispers.
"What did you say?", asks Kitty, wide eyed.
"I release you", says Lance, looking away, "You are no longer my prisoner".
"You mean...I'm free?".
"You need a written invitation?!", growls Lance, before sihging, "Yes".
"Oh thank you!", says Kitty, grinning, "Hold on Papa, i'm on my way!".
"He can't hear you...the mirror is not a phone", mutters Lance.
Kitty goes to leave and gives the mirror to Lance, who gives it back to her
"Take it with you, so you'll always have a way to look back, and remember me", he says, then pauses, "and thus begins my undoing"
"Gambit gonna cry!", cries Gambit from backstage, "It's not fair!".
Kurt smacks Gambit across the head with his own bo staff
"Snap out of eet, man!".
"Sorry", Remy said, "I back now...carry on".
We go back to the balcony scene
"Thank you for understanding how much he means to me", sighs Kitty, touching Lance's cheek before running off.
Todd smiles at her, blissfulyl unaware as he enters.
"Well, your highness, I must say everythin' is goin' just peachy", he says, "I knew ya had it in ya".
"I let her go", whispers Lance.
"Ha ha ha, yes splen.....", Todd blinks, before losing it, "ya WHAT? How could ya do that?!!!!"
"I had to", shrugs Lance.
"Yes but...", Todd sniffles, "why?".
"Because I love her", replies Lance.
We hear a Cajun whimper backstage, which is silenced by another whack. We cut to another part of the castle, where Todd is telling the other objects what has happened
"He did what?!", shouts the objects.
"Yep, I'm afraid it's true", sighs Todd.
"She's going away?", whimpers Jamie.
"But he was so close", sighs Pietro, before throwing a hissy fit, "I knew he'd screw it up! I TOLD him that I should have done it!".
"After all this time, he's finally learned to love", says Hank, stating the obvious.
"That's it then! That should break the spell!", said Pietro, looking around expectantly, "Why haven't I got my feet back yet? Waaaaiiiiiting!".
"But it's not enough", points out Hank, "She has to love him in return".
"And now it's too late", sighs Todd, no one noticing Jamie sneak away.
We see Kitty leave the castle on Jott, Lance watches from his balcony, roaring in sadness
"Hah! You're a loser, Alvers!", laughs Scott.
"Scott! Show some sympathy!", snaps Jean
"Sorry dear", whimpers Scott.
Kitty kicks Jott into galloping away. We finally come to where Forge is face down in the snow
"I'm making a snow angel!", giggles Forge, slightly delirious from the cold.
"No you're not, you're unconcious!", snaps Kitty.
"Sorry...being unconcious", replies Forge, collapsing in the snow.
We cut back to the cottage, where Kitty and Forge return home, Pyro is outside, disguised as a snowman
"Oh they're back....", he says, trying to escape his snowy prison, "Storm...you can thaw me out now....Storm?".
"No!", snaps Storm, "I'm still peeved over Lance insulting my sense of style!"
"I hate you", mutters Pyro, rolling off.
In the cottage, Forge comes around
"Ugh...I feel like i've had too many Slurpies", he groans.
"It's alright Papa, I'm home", says Kitty.
"Oh gee, I feel so safe now", says Forge in monotone, befpre being smacked by Kurt, "I mean..I thought I'd never see you again"
"I missed you so much", says Kitty, hugging his head.
"No you didn't, you were galavanting with Lance!", he snaps, "but the beast? How did you esacpe?".
"I didn't escape, Papa", says Kitty, "He let me go".
"That horrible beast?", asks Forge, shocked.
"Watch it Gadget Boy!", snarls Lance from backstage.
"But he's different now", says Kitty, looking into the distance, "He's changed somehow".
Forge blinks, waving a hand in front of Kitty's face, getting no response. He shrugs. After a few moments, there is a sound from Kitty's backpack and Jamie falls out with the magic mirror.
"Hi!", says Jamie cheerfully.
"Oh, a stowaway!", giggles Kitty.
"Why, hello there, little groovy dude", says Forge, "Didn't think I'd ever see you again...my character's not very optimistic, is he?".
Jamie gives Kitty the puppy-dog face
"Kitty, why did you go away? Don't you like us anymore?", he whimpers, before grinning, waggling his eyebrows, "Oooh, if you're off Lance, can I date you?".
"No!", snaps Kitty, "Of course I still like you, it's just.....".
She is interupted by a knock on the door, she goes to open it to see Magneto
"May I help you?", she asks.
"I've come to collect your father", grins Magneto evily.
He steps aside to show the Asylum D' Loons wagon behind him
"Bummer", says Forge.
