Okay, I've decided to call this series of fanfics "The Over-Done Series". Everything in it will be something cliché like a sleepover or the kids getting left at home with no adults. I don't know why I decided that. If anyone has any problems with it, please tell me. I might reconsider. I already have my next idea. If anyone can guess, I'll give them a preview.

This chappie is dedicated to Sovereign of Selenity and her sister.

"Vhat's wrong, Katzechen?" Kurt asked, his head tilted slightly to the side in curiosity.

"Geez, Kurt, like rub it in." Kitty replied, jumping out of the tree and landing gracefully. He ported next to her.

"Vhat did I do?" he asked, surprised.

"Please, don't act like that. I know you don't wanna talk to me. You don't have to act so freaking nice!" she said, her face flushed from a mixture of anger and embarrassment.

"But Katzechen-!"

"Listen, Kurt." She snapped. "Sometimes things just don't work out exactly like we want them to and there's nothing we can do to change it. We can't just go back to how things were before! I'm sorry, okay?" And with that, she was gone.

Kurt just stood there for a moment, shocked to his socks, before porting to his room.

-

"Alright," Scott started, once he had gotten everyone except Tabitha (who it really would have been pointless, anyway), Kurt (who was sulking), and Kitty (who no one could find) gathered into one area. "If we're all going to be staying here, I think we should lay down some rules. First off, Prof. Xavier put Jean and I in charge, so anyone who doesn't like that can leave right now." He stated, with a hopeful glance at the Brotherhood, who smiled back.

"Secondly..." he began again, after seeing that they were staying. "If I catch anyone using their powers against each other..."

"Keyword," Pietro whispered to Lance. "Catch."

"...let's just say I have something... unusually cruel lined up." Scott finished with an unnervingly evil smirk.

"Third," Jean said, "we're not going to have any chore lists for these two weeks, so if everyone could just clean up after themselves, it would be appreciated."

"After all, we can always start assigning chores again." Cyclops added. "And fourth..."

-CRASH-

"Tabitha!" Scott yelled. The blonde girl on the giraffe came into the room.

"Yes, captain?" she asked, mock saluting.

"Fourth, the giraffe stays outside." He commanded.

"But Georgie gets cold!" Tabby replied.

"It's either that or we get rid of him quicker." Cyclops answered.

"Get rid of him?!" she yelled. "No! He's like a brother to me!"

"Then when you go home," he started, "you take him with you. But for now, he stays outside!"

"Fine." She responded, taking the giraffe out the door, careful not to let him bump his head.

"Okay, whatever. Everyone's dismissed."

-

"Hey, Jubes, wait up!" Bobby called, catching up to the black-haired girl, who was casually retreating from the living room.

"What's up?" she asked as he fell into step with her.

"Will you go out with me tonight?" he replied.

"Where the hell did THAT come from?" Jubilee asked, stopping in her tracks.

He looked down, suddenly finding his feet to be the most interesting thing in the room.

"Well, I was just thinking-"

"Seriously?" she asked, mock-amazed.

"Shut up." He stated. "Anyway... I was thinking, hey, you like me, I like you, makes sense, you know."

"Who said I liked you?" she asked, haughtily flipping her hair.

"You did..."

"Did I?" she asked. "I believe what I said was if I HAD to pick a guy at that time."

"Well..." he opened his mouth to speak again, closed it, and opened it again, but no words came to his mind.

"You look like a fish," Jubilee stated, dryly.

"So you don't like me then?" he asked, sadly.

She smiled, her eyes full of laughter. "Pick me up at 6." She walked out, leaving Bobby to wonder what had just happened.

-

"I'm going out," Wanda announced, going toward the door.

"Can I come?" Todd asked.

"No," she replied.

"Why?" he asked, sounding dejected.

"Why do you wanna come, anyway?" she wondered.

He shrugged. "Gotta make sure no other guys are hittin' on my girl, yo."

She sighed in frustration and walked out, leaving the door open behind her. Taking that as a good sign, he followed her.

-

"Has anyone seen Amara?" Ray asked, coming into the kitchen.

"Have you checked her room?" Jean asked.

"No..." he replied, turning to go do that.

Jean chuckled to herself and went from the room. When she had gotten to the bottom of the stairs, a hand suddenly wrapped around her waist and another went over her eyes.

"Guess who?" a male voice said.

"It had better be Scott." She smiled, knowing that it was. The hand over her eyes fell to his side as she turned and kissed his cheek. "What's up?"

"Can't a guy just wanna sneak up on his girl friend without having a reason?" he asked. Her eye brow arched, questioningly. "Okay, you're right. I wanted to know if you were going grocery shopping. We're out of..." he pulled out a list in Kitty and Kurt's hand writings, "...tofu, lettuce, mayonnaise, sardines, pepper, peanut-butter, and horse-radish sauce."

Jean wrinkled her nose in disgust. "How much you wanna bet that those were all used in one creation?"

Scott's face mirrored hers. "Gross."

She took the list. "Kitty, Rogue, and I will go tomorrow." She started up the stairs.

He watched her walk for a minute, before realizing the weight of her words. "Hey! You three can't leave me all alone with those monsters!"

She smiled and turned her head. "You'll have Kurt and Evan."

"That's who I was referring to..." he muttered, going off to do leaderish things.

Next time on Of Second Shots and Summer Plots:

"Breathe, Scott." Jean stated, putting a hand on his shoulder. "They're just kids."

"Dude! Where'd you get the elephant?!"

"WHAT?!" Jean exclaimed, turning in the direction from which she had heard Jamie's voice come.

"Breathe, Jean." Scott smirked.
