First of all to get something off my chest and thank those who read and review, it will only take a second,
pyroesque26 I'll be more careful with my speech openers.
musagirl15 I will... I mean I am right now ;)
RedLina I am, I am, I am (if you said write 3 times I felt the need to return the favor)
Minx Malone I hope this will be a funny chapter and not so confusing with the sentence structure.
myqke trust me it is my first one and I want it to be brilliant!
Hope you enjoy this one and don't forget to tell me what you think!
And it begins
Acolytes POV
While Rogue and Kitty were fighting over the pilot's seat not far from them another fight, a quieter one, took place between some unfortunate Acolytes.
Pyro: I could blow this jet!
Quicksilver: For the millionth time what part of: Don't let them see you didn't you get? My father was very specific about that part.
Pyro: And what do you want us to do? Stay here and wait for them to leave?
Quicksilver: Well… yes!
Pyro: And what if they just fly over the Pacific or something. We'll just stay here? I can hardly breathe and Gambit get your hand off my bun!
Gambit: Sorry mon ami!
Quicksilver: They won't! It's just that annoying Pryde and Rogue. I don't see Summers or one of the adults.
Pyro: Yeah well they might have a mission just like we do.
Quicksilver: Listen, the role of hysteric is taken so stop being so hysterical.
Pyro: I can't… I lost my lighter. I need my lighter!
Gambit: Calm down mon ami or they will hear us.
Colossus was standing guard by the door and was keeping an eye on the two girls that were still arguing. It was rather amusing, he was already bored of his fellow Acolytes antics.
Rogue's
POV
Kitty was really starting to get on my nerves. I swear that if she doesn't get off that seat I am going to touch her. I can keep her in control in mah head. But this will be my last option. Okay try to be calm and reason with the annoying one.
Rogue: Come on Kitty get up!
Kitty: No! I am piloting.
I put my hand in my head and right now I wish I had to take on the Acolytes again. At least they weren't so loud.
Rogue: Do you remember the last Danger room training session?
Kitty: Like the one when I had to pilot and…
She turned all red (in the cheeks) and got up.
That's all she needed, a little reminder of last day (yesterday's?) disaster when she accidentally crashed the X-jet.
Rogue: Thank you sugah'. No let's go get Amara and Tabitha.
Kitty: Can I at least be the navigator?
Rogue: Do you know how to read a map?
Kitty: Well… how hard can it be?
I raised an eyebrow, but she had a point. It is easy to read a map and Kitty is pretty good a t school so she has to be able to read a map. Right?
Rogue: Okay then. Put on your safety belt.
Back to the Acolytes
Colossus: My comrades I believe Pyro is right.
All heads turn to him with disbelief. Did the heard it well? Was Pyro right? That was impossible!
Pyro: I am?
He was even more surprised than the rest.
Colosus: Apparently we are heading to get some girls named Amara and Tabitha.
Quicksilver: Tabitha? Oh no!
Gambit: Gambit thinks you have a soft spot for that girl.
Quicksilver: I do not!
He did the big mistake of raising his voice, but, luckily, the engine started at the exact same moment so the two girls heard nothing.
Colossus: Keep your voice down or we will be discovered.
Pyro: And what now all mighty Quicksilver?
Pietro wanted to punch the living daylights out of Pyro but he could hardly move and all he managed was to step on his foot. Pyro in his turn wanted to burn Pietro's pride and that meant to burn his hair but one problem: no lighter.
Golossus: You two calm down. I think we reached our destination.
All four pairs of eyes pecked thru the door and saw the girls exit.
Quicksilver was the first to reach the door and surprise surprise it was locked!
Try as he might but the door wouldn't open.
Quicksiler: Come on Colossus… give me a hand!
Colossus changed into his metallic form and wanted to break the door but Gambit stopped him.
Gambit: Mes amis, don't you think that breaking there door would let them know that we were here? Gambit thinks it would.
Colossus changed back into his human form.
Colossus: Then we go back to that little room and pray that they would land again soon.
Pyro: I'm claustrophobic… I'll burn the door. I want to get out! I need to get out!
He was really going to do that but a flash of light knocked him out cold.
Quicksilver: I wanted to do that for a while.
Gambit and Colossus looked at one another and then back at Pietro.
Gambit: You are carrying him back to that room mon ami.
At the Party
All the New Mutant boys have gone wild trying to impress the girls.
Bobby even made a skating ring for him and Jubilee and now he was trying to teach her how to skate. Although he seemed to enjoy himself when he had to pick her up. Once he forgot to let go of her hand and the next minute they were both facing the cold floor. Jubilee was enjoying this since she fell on Bobby.
As for Roberto he finally had the courage to ask Rahne for a dance. Of course that was half an hour ago but they were still dancing.
Tabitha was the heart and soul of the party and she managed to get Sam to dance. He was pretty good at it but he couldn't keep up with the wild party animal. Ray was the next one to dance with Tabitha and he did a better job at keeping up with her.
Jamie was just standing in a corner drinking his Pepsi and trying to convince Sam to ask Amara for a dance.
Jamie: It's not like you are asking here to marry you, it's just a dance!
Sam: Yeah but… I don't know how to dance.
Jamie: Let me get this straight you are okay with fighting the bad guys but you can't
Ask a girl to dance with you?
Sam: I can ask her!
But as he was about to ask Amara do dance with him Tabitha pulled her friend to the bathroom. Honestly why do girls go to the bathroom together? It will always be a mystery for him. Oh well he could always annoy Wolverine. He still wanted a rematch.
Amara's POV
I can't believe that Tabitha made me dance. I was terrified at first, but after a while I started to get the hang of it. They were a lot easier than those ceremony dances that I had back home. Here you just had to loose your mind.
I think I lost my mind because I didn't see Kitty's head phase thru the wall. Luckily Tabitha did and was now dragging me to the bathroom.
Amara: Why are we going there? The exit is that way.
Tabitha: Kitty is going to phase us thru the wall so no one would notice.
Amara: Won't they notice our absence?
Tabitha looked back at the party and saw that everyone was having fun. Scott and Jean were right near the bathroom but they were to ... distracted to notice them enter.
Amara: What took you so long Kitty?
Kitty: Rogue wouldn't let me pilot.
Tabtha: Thank God! (whispering so Kitty wouldn't hear)
Kitty got us to the jet, but I was still feeling a little uncertain. Was this the right thing to do? A part of me was begging for my return home, but another part wanted to stay here were I feel like I belong.
Rogue: Are you coming or what?
We all got on and took our seats.
For a second I could swear that I heard a "shhh" in the background but it must have been my mind playing tricks on me.
Kitty's
POV
I still can't believe that we are doing this. We are stealing or, what Tabitha would say, borrowing the X-jet and going to fly over some Ocean. This is so cool!
I took my seat and opened the computer so I could see our destination: Nova Roma.
Kitty: Okay everyone the next stop is Nova Roma!
Amara: Are we actually going? I can't believe it! Thank you so much!
Rogue: You could thank us when we get there. Don't forget: Kitty is reading the map and this might take a while.
Kitty: We could like switch you know.
The Acolytes
Pietro: Nova Roma? Where the hell is that?
None of them knew.
Next one: The crash landing
