Chapter 7 Misadventures at the Rodeo
Once Logan had left the stands, most interest in the rodeo had faded among the students. Almost all the students had decided to follow Kurt in his desperate search for a snack stand.
" So, Scott, what did you think of that riding?" Jean asked out of curiousity. Scott shrugged a bit." It was showy and all, but awfully dangerous.Someone could've been seriously hurt." Rogue looked away." That's the whole point Scott. That's what hooks in the crowds, the little element of danger." Kurt frowns.' If they really wanted to get my attention, they could've throw cotton candy out into the stands. I'm starving!"
Kitty shrugged, then her eyes fell upon a particular booth. Her eyes widened." Hey, isn't that ,like, that one girl?" Everyone's attention then focused on the booth. The large sign clearly reads 'Free Dream Interpretation', but what was even more odd was the person standing at the stand, Aurelie herself! She seemed to be talking with the man at the booth, somewhat interested, yet upset about something. Kurt blinked." Woah, does she really take that stuff seriously?" Kitty's eyes narrowed." Of course! the guy there is ,like, a complete hottie!" Kurt blinks." But.. She seems... upset.. doesn't she?" Scott shrugs." Maybe her dream has been interpreted as a bad omen." Rogue shrugs." Or maybe she's the bad omen. Think about it, I've listened and everytime she's mentioned, all those school kids get quiet, it's like they've got something to hide."
Jean blinks." I doubt she's any kind of omen. She must just be confused, like we all were when we first got into the school." Scott slowly nodded as he thought it over." There's only one way to know for sure, one of us is going to have to confront her for ourselves."
" Like, No way! We don't even know her power! She might be ,like, some sort of medusa-eyed girl who turns people into stone!" Kitty exclaimed with fear. Rogue nods." She's right, should we really take the chance? We don't even know what we're getting into." Jean frowns." You're all acting like children. Here." She grabbed some toothpicks from a table, using a marker to draw on the end of one. She then holds them in her hand, the one drawn on concealed, currently indentical to the others. " We'll each draw a tooth pick. Whoever gets the one with the markings on the end will go up and talk to her. It's completely fair."
