Drama Kitty
The auditions for the Dracula musical were being held in the school auditorium. Although yesterday both girls had called a truce due to the fight with Sabertooth, their rivalry was once again shining through.
"Forget it Kitty, as I told you before I was made for this part!" Rogue hissed.
"You're not auditioning for Frankenstein's monster," Kitty shot back. She was wearing a red top and a pair of jeans."Listen Bride of Dorkenstein," Rogue glared at her. "They're looking for people who can act."
"Okay, prove it," Kitty challenged. "Try to act like a human being for a minute!"
"And you can act like a corpse!" Rogue made a fist.
"Hello everyone!" Jason the director and male lead of the play stepped onstage. "Welcome to rehearsals! I hope everyone is ready."
"I know I am," Kitty said brightly. "I'm ready to say my lines."
"Can you say 'Suck up'?" Rogue muttered under her breath.
"Okay let's start with the Brides of Dracula," Jason read. "There are two roles Lucy and Luna."
"There wasn't a Luna in the original story," Rogue remembered.
"I know this is kind of an adaptation," Jason said. "I kind of wrote it myself."
"Wow Jason you're like so talented," Kitty beamed.
"You are so desperate it's not funny," Rogue glared at her.
"Okay first up is Rogue," Jason called out. Rogue came up. "Okay how about we do the scene where Dracula meets up with one of his brides at the discotech?"
"Discotech?" Rogue blinked. "That wasn't in the script. I thought it was a graveyard?"
"Yeah I changed it last night, my bad," Jason said. "Okay here we go."
"Oh which one am I? Luna or Lucy?" Rogue asked.
"Haven't quite got that down yet," Jason said. "I'm still ironing out one or two acts. Just read that line." He pointed.
"Dracula, my beloved lord of the night," Rogue spoke in her most seductive voice. "Let us fly and dance the night away." She put her arms around Jason.
"Careful Rogue!" Kitty called out. "Remember your skin condition!"
"I'm well aware of that!" Rogue snapped. Jason looked pale. "Uh, I bruise very easily. I can get poisoned by people touching them. It's a genetic thing. Really rare. Don't worry. As long as I wear gloves and cover up I'm okay."
"Really? I didn't know that," Jason said. "You know I think I saw something like that on the Discovery Channel the other night. What are the odds?"
"I know small world," Rogue laughed nervously.
"That must be so hard," Jason said. "You're so brave."
"Yeah tragic, she can't touch anyone," Kitty said quickly. "Remember you can't kiss her. Kind of hard to have a bride you can't kiss."
"But I'm very good at drawing blood!" Rogue whirled on Kitty. "You wanna see that?"
"Okay maybe we should move on to the next girl," Jason said. "Rachel?"
A very buxom blonde girl went on stage next. Rogue fumed as she sat down next to Kitty. "What the hell was that for?" Rogue snapped.
"Just looking out for your best interests," Kitty feigned innocence.
"Yeah you were looking out for something all right," Rogue snapped.
"Face it Rogue that part is as good as mine!" Kitty said.
"Kitty even if I didn't get the part which by the way there are two of!" Rogue told her. "I don't think you have a shot anyway. But I think she does."
Kitty's eyes opened wide as Rachel was hamming it up for Jason. "What does she have that I don't?" She hissed.
"A bra," Rogue said. Kitty glared at her. "Girl he ain't judging her lines!"
"We'll see about that!" Kitty stormed off to the wings of the stage.
"Okay that was very…nice," Jason gulped as Rachel flounced away. "Uh next on the chest…Uh the list is Kitty. Kitty? Kitty where are you?"
"Coming!" Kitty called off stage. "Just…getting into character." Kitty appeared but her appearance had been altered drastically from the neck down.
"Oh god…" Rogue rolled her eyes. "Spare me…"
"The moon looks so long and beautiful my dear Busty…I mean Luna…I mean Lucy…" Jason gulped as he read his lines.
"It does my darling," Kitty purred. "Dracula my beloved lord of the night, let us dance and fly away," Kitty grabbed him and pressed him close.
A little too close as one of the balloons in her chest popped and flew straight out of her shirt. It fell to the floor. "Don't worry," Kitty was bright red. "My back up pair is a lot more durable. Excuse me please…" She ran offstage.
With a bit of pride Rogue strutted to the center of the room and picked up the broken balloon. She held it up with pride. "Ladies and gentlemen I give you the winner in the category of best actress in a supporting role…"
"SHUT UP ROGUE!" Kitty screamed.
"Let's take a break now…" Jason gulped.

"I can't believe you actually did that!" Wanda laughed like crazy.
"Okay! I admit it! I got the idea from watching a Golden Girls rerun! I still got the part!" Kitty said.
"Not to mention a kiss from Jason," Rogue mocked.
"WHAT?" Lance burst into the room with Scott on his heels. "You know you never did explain to me about that!"
"Oh get over it Lance! It was long before we ever dated!" Kitty snapped. "By the way did you and Scott have a nice fight?"
"Well we would have if Logan hadn't stopped us," Scott grumbled.
"Lucky for you, Summers," Lance growled.
"No lucky for you, Alvers!" Scott snapped.
"Why can't you two learn to get along, just once?" Kitty asked. "And I mean times other than when people are trying to kill us!"
"Well there was that one other time we had to work together," Jean said.
"I hope you don't mean the soda incident," Ray moaned. "I still have nightmares about Toad throwing sodas screaming 'Anarchy Now'!"
"Really?" Todd asked. "I always liked those dreams."
"No, I mean the other time," Jean said. "Do you remember when we had to take that mandatory Health class workshop?"
"Oh god that was a nightmare!" Kitty moaned. "That was even worse!"
"I thought that was fun!" Pietro grinned.
"Yeah you had a ball," Scott waved. "But for once your insanity was for a good cause! Remember who the teacher was?"
Who was the teacher? What else will they remember? Find out next!
