Cass stood on top of a wheelie chair and looked into her closet's upper shelf.
"Cass I don't think that'z zuch a gute idea."
"Chill out Kurt, I've done this a million times."
Cass was at the moment trying to get a box down from a high shelf in her closet. Alex was standing to her right waiting for her to hand him the box. Kitty was sitting on the bed with Kurt, who was worried about his friend standing on such a wobbly chair.
"What are you like looking for anyway?"
"A photo album. Something to remember Chicago by."
She pushed aside a small box and started to pull on a much bigger one. It didn't move so she pulled harder. She pulled so hard that her weight became unbalanced and she started to fall. Alex sprung into action and caught Cass in bridal style.
"Um…thanks. I guess that's twice you've saved me."
"Yeah I guess so."
There was a moment of awkward silence.
"You know you can put me down now."
"Of course."
He placed her down and put the chair back under Cass's desk.
"Maybe we should start with the stuff on the floor?"
"Good idea."
"Cass shouldn't we get some like boxes or something?"
"Yeah they're in the hall."
Kitty walked through the wall and returned a minute later with some folded cardboard boxes.
"Where should I like start?"
The Institute
Everyone in the mansion was informed about Cass's birthday and the party. It was to be held in the Rec room and everyone was helping. Scott was filling up balloons with a helium machine as Beast tied ribbons around them. Storm was baking a cake and the boys were hanging up decorations. Jean and Rogue had taken the other girls out shopping for some last minute gifts. Genie and Warren were in the Professor's office talking to him about a favor concerning the party. That left Logan to watch Lizzie, he sat in a recliner in the Rec room as Lizzie watched the T.V.
"Logan why not make yourself useful and help us with these balloons?"
"I'm watching the kid Hank."
"Then where is she?"
Logan looked down at the spot on the floor where Lizzie had been sitting. Needless to say she wasn't there anymore.
"Crap."
Logan got up and started tolook around. When he left the room to go check the kitchen Lizzie crawled out from behind Bobby and a bunch of Jamies. Hank glared at them and sighed.
"I hope you know what your doing."
"We do…"
"Just the best prank in history."
Bobby high fived one of the Jamies and then continued hanging up decorations.
Alex and Kurt held a couple of boxes as Cass looked around her room.
"Are you done yet?"
"Give me a minute."
She glanced around the room once more and then pointed to a small box.
"Kitty can you grab that for me."
"Like sure."
She picked up the small black box and then handed it to Cass.
"Now we're done."
"Then letz go."
This was their third and final trip down to the van then they could head home. Cass had basically picked up the rest of her clothes and some souvenirs of her years in Chicago. Cass found it very hard to throw out anything and said that there was a memory behind everything. Later in the week Warren would come by and move the rest of her stuff into the new place. They loaded the boxes into the trunk and climbed into the car.
"Zo Cazz how do ve get out of here."
Genie and the Professor waited on the driveway for the occupants of the truck before them to get out of the vehicle. The doors opened and a small group climbed out.
Professor, these are Cass's friends from Chicago I told you about
The first one out was a girl about Cass's agewith a long braid down her back.Then came another girl with short black hair, wearing all pink. After her came yet another girl, butshe had brown hair that was just past her shoulders. the next person to climb out of the truck was the driver. A boy, he wastoo tall and well built to be Cass's age and had to be at least 18. The last one out was a boy, he was much smaller then the other guy and had slick black hair. The girl with the braid was the first to speak.
"Hello. We're very happy you invited us to your school to celebrate Cass's birthday."
"It is not a problem, and I'm sure Cassandra will be equally excited to see you all."
"I'mSinead, that's Samantha, and Heather, those two areKevin and Chris."
"It's nice to meet you all. If you could come inside then you'll all be able to settle in."
Kurt pulled up to the mansion and took the keys out of the ignition. Cass went around to the trunk but Alex leaned against it.
"We can get this stuff later. Ya know after Kurt pulls into the garage."
"Whatever."
Kurt opened the door for his friends and closed it after them. They walked into the Rec Room and looked around, it was very dark and a little creepy. Then the lights flicked on and a lot of people jumped out. The Rec Room was decorated with purple, blue, and green balloons and streamers. And there was a huge banner that read HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASS. Then from a corner of the room some very familiar faces caught Cass's eye.
"Oh my God, guys."
Cass ran up to the group and embraced them. Kitty, Kurt, and Alex stoodthere completely dumbfounded. Hank walked over to them and sighed.
"You have missed quite an interesting day."
Aprilangel413: Ok the party is in the next chapter and it will be fun.
