Hey everybody, sorry this has taken so long to come out, and that's incredibly short but I've been reading other stories instead of writing my own, it's just much easier that way. Anyways, thanks to all my reviewers: XME, deathwish, Toffee-Popcorn, Jubilee124, Anti-XYo, NightCrawler28 (and yes, Sal is a jerk), Persian85033, Rushikayu13, Goofn1, Mikomi Bansiki, ali-cat333, Idypebsaby, fudje, Lance Avalanche Alvers, Guess who, WickedWitch, ember queen: you guys rock!

Lance had quietly tiptoed out of the room, making sure that none of the others would wake up. They were still knocked out from last nights 'family movie night'. Lance had a surprise for them all. He didn't know for sure if it would work, but he figured he owed it to Kitty.

He went to the phone, and dialed a number from a piece of paper he had in his pocket.

"Hello?" He said when the phone stopped ringing.

"Get up you guys," Lance said, walking around the living room, yanking off various blankets and jerking away pillows from the sleeping kids.

"Come on, Lance," Todd protested as Lance took the pillow from under his head, "can't we just miss first period?"

"We're skipping school today," Lance told him, starting to fold up one of the blankets he had taken.

"Then why do we need to get up?" Pietro asked.

"We're going on a trip," Lance said.

"A trip," Freddy asked, "to where?"

"We're going to the mountains, you know for some more family stuff and all that crap," Lance said.

"Works for me," Kitty said, getting up and looking at her black eye in the mirror, "I wasn't looking forward to seeing everyone at school today anyways."

"Yeah that's what I figured,' Lance said. "Now start packing, we leave in an hour."

Kitty rushed upstairs to her room to get her things. "Lance! How long are we going to be gone?" she called to him downstairs.

"Three days," Lance called back.

"Three days," Kitty mused, tapping her finger against her shin thoughtfully. "Lance!" She called again.

"What?" Lance called from downstairs.

"Is it going to be cold?"

Lance shook his head in shame. Maybe his girlfriend wasn't the smartest in the universe, but at least she was cute. "It's freezing here, Kitty, in the mountains, it's even colder. My guess is that you should pack some warm clothes."

"Okay, thanks," Kitty said, looking for her warmer clothes. Unfortunately, she realized that she didn't bring them. She had brought everything from her room, but she had run out of room in her closet, and had dropped some of the clothes she couldn't wear during the summer in Bobby's room. She figured it was so messy anyway, he wouldn't notice if she put some stuff in his closet. Of course, she hadn't gotten them out of there yet, so the clothes she needed were…

"at the mansion, Lance," Kitty told him. "All the clothes I need are at the mansion, and I am not going back there."

Kitty had started panicking when she realized her blunder. She was not ready to face the X-men, but Lance looked so happy about going, she couldn't kill this trip for him.

"I know that nobody besides Jamie is home, but how are we supposed to get in there, they probably have the mansion locked and guarded, and I don't want to break everything," Kitty said.

"Hey, don't worry pretty Kitty," Lance said. "I'm sure Pietro knows how to get in. He's gone there tons of times."

He went to the bottom of the stairs, and yelled, "Pietro, run down to the mansion and get Kitty's clothes."

In a flash, Pietro was down the stairs. "I thought we got all of it."

"That was my summer and fall clothes," Kitty explained, "all the clothes I need for the snow are in Bobby's room."

"The ice guy?" Pietro asked.

"Yeah, he's on the second floor…" Kitty started, but Pietro had already taken off.

"Don't worry," Lance said, looking at her confused expression. "He knows all the rooms, and who they belong to."

"Do I want to know why?" Kitty asked.

"Probably not," Lance said, with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Wait, all the things that went missing, you guys took them!" Kitty explained.

Lance's smile dropped, not wanting to get Kitty upset. "Well, I'm sure you can pack some of your other stuff, and Pietro should be back any second. Oh, yeah, here he is now."

Kitty let the subject drop, but only because Pietro was actually there.

"Did you have any trouble getting in?" Lance asked.

"Please, against those pathetic weapons? Man, I could get in and out of there with my eyes shut," Pietro bragged. He handed Kitty a bag of clothes. "Here you go, but you owe me, do you know how messy that room is?"

"No time for that now, we've got to go," Lance said. "Kitty, since all your stuffs in the bag, go out to the jeep and start it, so we can have the heater on, I'll get your stuff out there."

"Sure Lance," Kitty said, grabbing the keys. She walked outside and turned the jeep on. She fiddled with the radio dial a bit, trying to get her favorite radio station, one that no one else knew about. "Ah ha!" She said when she finally found it.

Rubber ducky, you're the one…

"You make bath time lots of fun!" Kitty sang along. It was radio Disney, a station really made for kids 14 and younger, but Kitty still listened to it when no one was around. And best of all, it was during school hours, which meant that it was playhouse Disney, which played all the kid songs from the movies.

She was still in the car when "Under the Sea" was on, singing along with all the words she knew, when suddenly she heard laughing from behind her.

"Oh my gosh, you still listen to Radio Disney?" Todd asked as he tossed a luggage bag into the back. "Even Fred doesn't listen to that junk yo."

Kitty's face burned with embarrassment, she hadn't heard the guys coming.

"Is this the song from the mermaid movie?" Fred asked.

"Yeah," Lance said, as they started into the car, their bags safely tucked in the back. "Never understood that movie, don't you think that Ariel or whatever her name was would just knock the octopus out, take her potions, and live happily ever after?"

"Yeah," Pietro agreed. "None of those Disney flicks make sense. I mean, you know "Beauty and the Beast"? When Gaston is trying to convince the Beauty girl…"

"Belle?" Kitty supplied.

"Yeah, yeah, Belle, anyways, he tries to get her to marry him. He already has the wedding planned, guests there and everything, and he hasn't even asked her yet. So he tells her how great of a husband he would make, and how great he is…"

"Sounds like you, Pie," Todd chimed in.

"Quiet you," Pietro said, slapping him lightly on the head. "Anyways so Belle gets annoyed and throws him out. That's all she does. You'd think she'd be cussing him out and hitting him with a base ball bat or something."

"Yeah, you're right," Todd agreed. "There's a lot messed up about these Disney movies. Like, how could they kill the fish in 'Finding Nemo'? That Coral chick? This is supposed to be a comedy, and they kill somebody in the first five minutes."

"Nah," Fred said, "She didn't die, she paid the shark to knock the other fish out, took the kids, and became a showgirl in fish Vegas."

"I don't think that hiring a hit guy to take the husband out, kidnapping the kids, and becoming a showgirl has a good message coming across either," Lance pointed out.

"And have you ever noticed all the bad things in all the shows," Todd said. "Like how 'sex' is written in the sky in 'the Lion King', or how the priest gets a boner in the 'Little Mermaid'? I mean, aren't these shows supposed to be made for the little kids?"

Kitty sat in silence as the guys continued their talk on the things in Disney movies. At least they would forget about her listening to radio Disney.

"Why didn't Snow White just knock the witch out? It would have made things a lot easier."

But it was going to be a long car ride to the cabin.

By the time they got to the cabin, the brotherhood boys had torn apart every Disney movie she loved. It made for an interesting trip, but it made her question the boys' sanity. For people who said they hated Disney movies, they sure knew a lot about them.

"Okay guys, start unloading," Lance said, taking out some keys from his pocket.

"How'd you get a cabin anyway," Pietro asked. "Do they know we're mutants?"

"Yeah," Lance answered, "it's my foster uncle's cabin, and he's a mutant too, so we're okay."

"I'm going to start dinner after I unpack," Kitty announced, picking up her stuff.

"But what about lunch?" Fred asked.

"Well, since we didn't have a real Thanksgiving dinner, I figured we could have one now," Kitty said.

"That's a great idea Kitty," Lance said.

They went to their separate rooms to unpack. It was so nice here, Kitty got a clean, fresh bedroom, with a view of the forest and the trees slightly decorated with snow. She felt so refreshed, so free. It was like she was a new person here; and she had only been here five minutes. This was going to be a great vacation.

Or so she thought.

Later, she and Lance were down in the kitchen. Kitty was opening up a can of olives, and Lance was trying to figure out how to make the Turkey work, because Kitty didn't want to touch it.

Once Kitty opened the olives, she sampled one.

"Whoa, these things taste bad," she said as Todd, Fred, and Pietro came in. "Hey Todd, try one," Kitty said, holding one out to him.

"Man, these things stink," he said, grabbing the can, and holding it out for Pietro.

"They can't be that bad," he said as he grabbed one and popped it in his mouth. "Ah man, these olives are totally rotten!"

Fred sighed and took the can. "Let a true master of food handle this," he said as he ate one. "Ewww, these olives are bad!" He held the can out to Lance.

Lance looked at his friends, and the can that Fred was holding out. "You guys are idiots" he smirked, and walked out of the room.

"What do you think his problem is?" Fred asked.

Todd smiled evilly, "I don't know, but I don't think he has the right to call us idiots, I'll be right back."

The remaining three in the room shrugged, and went back to work. After a couple of minutes, Kitty left everything to cook, and went to talk to Lance.

"Lance?" she asked as she knocked on his door, and started to open it.

"Kitty!" a voice hissed, and knocked her out of the way. It was Todd, and he dragged her to his doorway, covering her mouth.

"Kitty?" Lance asked as he opened the door. Suddenly, a bucket of slime fell on his head, splattering him with Toad's trademark.

Todd couldn't help it; he fell on the floor laughing. "Aw, man, I should've had a camera," he gasped in between sits of laughter.

"Don't worry," Pietro said, rushing up the stairs, "I always keep one handy in case of an emergency." He started snapping photographs of the slime-covered Lance.

"Toad! You are so going to die when I catch you!" Lance screamed, chasing after Todd, the others rolling over laughing.

"Aww…" Kitty said, stepping in his path, "I think that green looks really good on you, Lance."

Lance blushed and stopped chasing after Lance. "You do?" he asked her.

"Of course," she said, taking his arm in hers, and mouthing the words, 'you owe me,' to Todd as they left the room. "Now let's get you cleaned up."

As they made their way to the bathroom, they heard a noise coming from outside.

"What was that?" Kitty asked, as Lance ran to the door. Suddenly, the door was kicked down, and a charged card came floating down to the floor.

"Miss me?" Remy asked, as he and Pyro came through the door.

It looked like Kitty's perfect vacation had been ruined after all.

Sorry it's so short, but I'm planning a big chapter next, so keep R&R. Thanks!
