Disclaimer: I own Kurt! (I was joking, please don't sue me) But, Kurt is visiting and he is helping out with this chapter. ;-p

Kurt: Ja, so let's get to planning!

e. d.: That's what I was about to say, now hush you adorable blue elf.

Chapter 18

And the party planning begins…

Kurt went straight for Remy and Rogue's room. He knocked on the door and heard "Merde"(shit), followed by the sound of two people frantically trying to become 'decent', as Kurt assumed. He snickered behind his hand, but quickly replaced it with a smirk when his sister opened the door. She was wearing boxers and a t-shirt and was tying a robe around her. He saw Gambit in the background, standing there, wearing a pair of pants and looking extremely miffed.

Kurt couldn't help it, he burst out laughing. Rogue, though, didn't find this the least bit funny and she smacked him across the back of the head.

"What the hell do ya want, Kurt?" she asked, highly annoyed.

"Vell, I just found out zhat a certain someone is engaged." He said.

"Who?" Rogue asked, now curious.

"Three guesses."

Rogue glared at him as Gambit moved to stand behind her. He was curious as well. Rogue couldn't think of anyone who was possibly in that serious of a relationship.

"You?" Gambit guessed.

Kurt looked at him oddly for a minute then shook his head.

"Two guesses."

"Come on Kurt, just tell us." Rogue said. She didn't really like guessing games.

"You're no fun, Rogue." He pouted.

"Oh fine," she huffed. "Um…Logan?" she said, just to get it over with.

"One." Kurt said, knowing what his sister was doing.

"Petite?" Gambit guessed again, coming to the conclusion that she was the only person he knew that's been in a relationship for a long amount of time.

Kurt smiled and nodded. Rogue was shocked.

"Kitty's engaged. When? How?" she asked.

Kurt looked around nervously, afraid Kitty might come around the corner and see that he had told someone. Well, technically he didn't tell them, they had guessed. It wasn't his fault that they guessed right, right?

"Can we talk in zhere?" he asked, nodding toward their room.

"Sure." Rogue said, and she turned around and walked back into the room behind Gambit.

They all sat down and Kurt explained to them what Kitty had told him. They were both a bit shocked that Lance had come up with something romantic. Kurt than told them about his plans to throw them a party. Rogue looked skeptical at this, though.

"She said she doesn' want anyone to know right now, didn' she?"

"Vell, maybe I can get zhem to tell everyone at Kitty and Tabby's graduation party." Kurt suggested.

"It's worth a try Ah suppose." Rogue sighed. "Now, if ya don' mind, would ya get out. We're…busy."

Kurt smirked and disappeared in a cloud of smoke, but not before saying, "I vouldn't vant to interrupt."

Rogue glared at the spot her brother had been moments before. One of these days that boy was going to get it. Then she sighed as Remy put his hand on her shoulder.

"So, where were we mon amour (my love)?" he asked seductively as he started kissing her neck. (A/N: I'm going to stop there for fear of going R. Let your imaginations run wild.)

Kurt went looking for Kitty and Lance. He wanted to talk to them about the party. He found them in the rec. room, watching a movie with Pietro and Tabby.

"Hey guys." He said, as he made his way over to them.

"Hey Kurt." Kitty said, moving closer to Lance and making a spot for Kurt to sit down.

"Hey blue." Tabby greeted.

The other two just nodded, showing that they acknowledged his presence. He sat down by Kitty and watched the rest of the movie with them. Once the movie was over, he asked Kitty if he could talk with her and Lance in private. She looked at him oddly, but then smiled and said "Sure".

So, Kurt, Lance, and Kitty all went up to Kitty's room. Kurt didn't waste any time. Once they were in the room with the door shut, he brought up the party right away.

"Kurt, I thought I like, told you that we were going to wait till like, August." Kitty said.

"Come on Kit, I think it's a good idea." Lance said.

"So, vill you announce it zhen? At zhe graduation party?" Kurt asked, hopeful.

"I guess." Kitty said, still not very sure about it.

"Great." Kurt said, and then he disappeared, once again, in a cloud of smoke.

"Why do I like, have the feeling that there's more to this party than he's letting on?" Kitty asked.

"Because there probably is." Lance said.

Kurt next headed back downstairs in hopes that Pietro and Tabby were still there. He was right. He headed back over to them. He sat down across from them and looked around making sure no one else was there.

"Can I talk to you guys?" he asked.

"Sure blue, what's up?" Tabby asked.

"Vell, I'm not suppose to tell you, so…how about a guessing game?" he asked.

"I love guessing games." She said, an evil glint in her eye.

"Okay, vell, it's about Kitty and Lance." He hinted.

"Hmm…are they breaking up?" Pietro asked.

"No, no." Kurt said. "Far from it, in fact." He mumbled under his breath.

Tabitha heard him though. She smirked and looked at Pietro, who was clueless. She rolled her eyes and turned back to Kurt.

"So, when did he pop the question?"

"What?" Pietro asked/yelled. Kurt shushed him and then told them the gist of everything.

Tabby and Pietro agreed to help with the party. They decided to change everything and just make it a huge engagement/surprise party; because everyone was going to be surprised. They set to work immediately, looking for decorations and looking at cakes.

They had bought all of the decorations that weekend and were keeping them in Tabby's room; because nobody would be that suspicious as to check her room. They couldn't find a cake, but they weren't too worried about it; they still had a few weeks after all. Tabby had offered to make the cake, but Kurt was a little worried that she would uh, blow it up in the process.

The only problem was how they were going to get Lance and Kitty out of the house in order to get the place ready. Pietro came up with that answer. They'd just move the party forward a day. They'd get Remy and Rogue to go with them out to lunch or something, and then bring them back.

So, everything was planned and ready. All they had to do now was keep anyone from finding out. Because, for some unknown reason (mostly for their own twisted pleasure), they decided to make it a surprise party; though, they no longer knew who was going to be more surprised.

And with that, they went about their everyday business, waiting for the day that probably everyone in the mansion would have a heart attack.

A/N: Yeah um, I really have lost all track of wherever the heck this story was going. I'm trying to get back to the main plot, but I'm not having any luck. Just, bear with me or give up I guess (I'm about to).

Kurt left somewhere toward the beginning of this chapter. He had places to be or people to see or something along those lines.

I apologize if any of the French is wrong, I don't speak it; I used the Internet to get the translations.

Okay, in case anyone is confused (cause, er, I am), here is some info about the characters. Scott/Jean are married and have a one-year-old daughter; they don't live at the mansion but visit occasionally. Remy/Rogue are married and Rogue's pregnant, she just doesn't know it yet (I may be giving something away, but I'm not sure yet); they do live at the mansion. Lance/Kitty are engaged and they live at the mansion, obviously. Um, Kitty is 17 and Lance is 18. (I don't know a whole lot about their ages, so that's what it is in my story.) Kurt is dating Amanda I guess, but there won't be a whole lot of that in here. Pietro/Tabby are dating. And there'll be a surprise couple entering soon. (Evil laughter) Uh, I'm going to mention a few more couples, but they won't really have big parts…or, any parts, really; they'll just be mentioned: Bobby/Jubilee and Roberto/Rahne. And well, that's about it I guess.
