Party Time

Here is chapter four. Hank is going to be away in this chapter just like Scott and Jean were last time (don't worry I'm not cutting him out...yet ). On this one please excuse that the new character is added a little abruptly, but I wanted to spend more time on character and less on recruitment. I also changed the plan around a little. This chap will add 1 X-man. 5 will add 2 brotherhooders. Chapter 6 will be a big chapter were everyone has their own little piece of story to add and will be the midpoint of this season. Enjoy.

"Slim! Red! What the hell is going on in there?" Logan's voice bellowed loudly enough that it could probably be heard across the Hudson. Jean yawned and rubbed her eyes, and mentally repeated what Logan had said. Why did he mention Scott? She sat up and looked around the room, and then it hit her. This wasn't her room. She looked at the bed and there was Scott still sound asleep.

What the hell happened? Last night was a school night, I don't drink, I fell asleep in my own bed so why am I in here? Awww Scott looks so cute asleep-FOCUS JEAN. What am I doing in here?

"Summers! Grey! Open this door right now!" Logan yelled again. Scott suddenly jerked awake and looked over at Jean. He smiled at her but then realized what was going on and looked horrified.

"What happened?"

"I have no idea. I'm going to open the door though."

Jean walked over and let Wolverine in. Before he could yell at her, she said, "Mr. Logan I have no idea how I got in here. You saw me go to sleep last night and I didn't wake up and I have no idea how I got in here."

Scott nodded in agreement, "Plus I keep the door locked and I sleep like a brick so I wouldn't have heard her even if she had knocked."

At about this moment Bobby and Kurt walked by Scott's open door and looked around Logan inside.

Kurt pumped his fist and yelled, "Yeah Scotty!"

Bobby asked Jean, "Why are you in there...that's gross man."

Jean replied angrily, "I have no idea Bobby."

Bobby gave Jean a look of mock surprise and looked at Kurt, "Did you hear that Crawler? Jean magically transported from her room...to this one!"

Kurt gave him a look of shock and said, "Really Bobby? That's like that thing called...tepela...telepar..."

"Teleportation?" Bobby supplied.

Kurt grinned, "Yeah that! Too bad ve don't know anyone who could do that! That'd be pretty crazy right Jean?"

Jean got a murderous look in her eye and dove after the two and yelled, "Get back here you little–" but Kurt and Bobby had ran away. Logan rolled his eyes and told Jean to hurry up and get out before walking away.

Jean looked at Scott, "They are so immature."

Scott grinned, "Yeah well, at least we got an excuse to be close to each other."

Jean blushed, "Very true Mister Summers."

"Come on, let's go downstairs."

The two took the elevator and eventually got into the kitchen. When they entered Bobby and Kurt both clapped and wolf-whistled. Jean smiled at the two and telekinetically knocked their heads together. She took a seat next to Scott and slid her chair closer to his.

"Get a room" Warren said with a grin.

Iceman asked Angel, "Hey winger I thought you wanted Jeannie. Why so nice?"

Scott turned to Bobby, "Yeah that wasn't awkward at all."

Warren smiled, "Chill out Summers, I don't play the "women stealing game". Don't get me wrong Jean, I still think you're really hot, but I don't believe in taking other guys' girls."

Jean smiled at him, "Thank's Warren."

At this point the Professor wheeled into the kitchen, "Students, there will be another young mutant joining us today. Her name is Kitty Pryde and she comes from Illinois."

Iceman jabbed Kurt in the ribs, "Hmmm...Kitty. Me-OW."

Warren rolled his eyes, "You are sooooo cheesy."

Iceman smiled, "Thank's buddy, didn't know you cared."

The Professor sighed, "Robert please. Now she is 14 and a freshman so I would like Bobby to show her around school. Try not to intimidate the girl Bobby."

Bobby flexed, "It's hard for women not to be intimidated around me."

Jean smiled sweetly, "I know right? It's surprising how I've resisted it for fourteen years. Tell me little brother...do you still have that mole on your butt?"

The others laughed and Bobby muttered under his breath, "It faded."

Scott asked the Professor, "What can this girl do Professor?"

"She has the very interesting ability to walk through walls."

"Vhen is she going to get here sir?" Kurt asked.

"She should be here by the time you all get home from school. Speaking of which I believe it is time for all of you to be heading off."

Scott looked at the clock. "He's right, its almost eight. You heard the man let's roll."

The school day passed pretty normally until lunch rolled around, as Bobby had already predicted. This had been the first day since Scott and Jean had been together that they had school. Between long weekends, Scott being sick, and the two visiting their respective families, the school had yet to see the new couple. Bobby also knew for a fact that Jean had no intention of bringing Scott to their table since Scott and Duncan Matthews hated each other since the day they had met.

Scott, Jean, Bobby, Warren, and Kurt entered into the cafeteria. Bobby saw Duncan stand up and wave to Bobby and Jean while purposely avoiding Scott's gaze.

Scott mumbled, "You can sit with them if you want."

Jean looked at Scott, "Over you? Doubt it."

Jean took Scott's hand and brought him over to another table. Kurt followed the two as well. Warren looked over at Duncan's table and said to Bobby, "They only really let me sit with them 'cause of you two...so I'm not going over there." He headed over to where the others were sitting. Bobby threw Duncan a mock apologetic look and then grinned and walked over to Jean's new table.

Unfortunately, as big and hulking as Duncan was, he was relatively quick. Before Bobby knew it he had a hand on his shoulder which spun causing him to drop his tray.

Bobby started to yell, "What do you think you're—oh, hey Duncan."

Duncan glared at Bobby. The scene hadn't gone unnoticed by Scott who was beginning to get up and walk over. "What's the deal here Drake."

"What does it look like Dunc? We traded up."

"Oh really? You know the only reason that I tolerated a little freshman punk like you was 'cause I thought you were cool and could get me in with Jean." He shoved Bobby hard.

Bobby, who had gone up against Sabertooth, shoved Duncan back with even more force, "Oh please, you couldn't pay Jean enough to give you the time of day."

Duncan turned red and drew back a fist, "Looks like we need a new second baseman."

Bobby grinned, "Yeah well, we need a new center fielder too 'cause you play like shit."

Duncan was about to punch Bobby when someone grabbed his arm. Bobby looked beyond Duncan to see Scott and surprisingly Warren standing behind him.

Scott looked angrily at Duncan, "Is there a problem here?"

Duncan snarled at Scott, "Why don't you mind your business geek?"

"Why don't you back off?" Warren said.

Duncan looked the two up and down, "What are you two doin' defending this punk? He doesn't even like either of you."

"I like 'em more than you loser." Bobby said.

Duncan glared at Bobby, "I always knew that all you Xavier kids were losers."

"Is there a problem here boys?" The four combatants turned around to see Jean with Kurt standing behind here.

Duncan shook his head, "No problem Jean. I was just inviting these guys to my party tomorrow. I want you to be there two. And I guess your other little friend can come." He nodded at Kurt. He muttered under his breath to Scott, Warren and Bobby, "Later losers."

As Duncan walked away Bobby grinned, "Party."

"No" Jean said.

"Why not?!" Bobby exclaimed.

"Because I know Duncan, and he'll pull something."

Bobby rolled his eyes, "Duh. If all of us go he won't try anything. Come on!"

Jean looked at Kurt and Warren who both seemed down for the idea. She turned to Scott, "Scott?"

"Even if I say no it looks like we've been out-voted. I guess we're going."

"Oh yeah...the fuzzy man loves to par-tay!" Kurt yelled.

The lunch bell rang and the five X-men separated themselves and headed off to their own class rooms. The rest of the day went by relatively monotonously and finally they all began to head home. The five congregated outside of Scott's car.

Bobby said to Kurt, "Hey fuzzy teleport me home...I wanna see the new girl."

Kurt nodded, "Ja...good idea." The two disappeared in a BAMF while Scott, Jean, and Warren piled into Scott's car.

Bobby and Kurt reappeared in the main hall of the Xavier Institute. Kurt turned off his image inducer and said to Bobby, "I've gotta pee man, I'll be right there."

Kurt teleported to the bathroom and Bobby walked around looking for the Professor. Eventually, he walked into the kitchen and found the Professor speaking to a petite girl with long brown hair tied in a pony-tail. She was saying,

"So does this kitchen have like vegetarian options?"

Bobby rolled his eyes and thought, Wonderful...valley girl.

The Professor picked up his thoughts and turned around. "Hello Robert."

The girl turned around and Bobby's jaw went slightly slack. Cute valley girl.

"Robert this is Katherine "Kitty" Pryde. Kitty this is Bobby Drake. Bobby, Kitty will be a freshman at Bayville as well, and has been accepted into six different advanced placement courses." The Professor said. Don't judge a book by its cover Bobby, he added mentally.

Sorry sir, "Nice to meet you Kitty." Bobby extended his hand to the girl.

"You too." She responded and blushed slightly.

"I'll let you two get to know each other" the Professor said and wheeled out.

"So it looks like you're pretty smart huh Kitty?" Bobby asked.

Kitty blushed a little, "Yeah well...I'm pretty smart but the school I used to go to was pretty like easy, and I got straight A's. Hopefully I can like do as well in Bayville."

Bobby smiled, "I'm sure you will."

At this moment Kurt teleported into the kitchen and said, "So vhere's the girl? Oh, hello!"

Kitty yelped and backed away from Kurt. Kurt looked down at the ground and said, "I'm sorry for frightening you."

Kitty still looked nervous and Bobby said, "Kitty this is my friend Kurt. He can teleport and is clearly blue. He's a nice guy, but if you want him to he can look normal until you get used to it."

Kurt pushed his image inducer and the hologram projected his image as a normal teenager. "Is this a little better?" he asked.

Kitty nodded and stuttered out, "Yes...much...thank you."

Bobby said, "Kurt's a sophomore at Bayville."

Kitty asked Bobby, "And nobody realizes that he's um...that he's...?"

"Blue?" Kurt supplied.

Kitty nodded.

Kurt smiled, "No, my holo-vatch gives off the projection that I'm normal."

Bobby said, "Another one of us, Warren, has giant wings that he's able to cover up with a harness on his back. Scott Summers shoots beams out of his eyes and has to wear red sunglasses, but no one hassles him about them. Jean Grey and I don't really have any outward mutation."

"What can you do?" Kitty asked.

Bobby smiled proudly and made a rose out of ice and gave it to Kitty, "I make ice. Jean Grey is a telepath like the Professor, and can also move stuff with her mind."

"Telekinesis?" Kitty asked.

"Ja," Kurt nodded, "What can you do Kitty?"

Kitty smiled and stuck her hand through Bobby's stomach, who yelped and backed away. Kitty laughed and said, "I can make my body intangible. I can pass through objects, and if I move through anything electric I like, short it out."

"That's pretty impressive, yet strangely creepy," Bobby said.

Kitty grinned, "Yup, that's like, me in a nutshell." Bobby and Kurt laughed.

The rest of the day went without a hitch. Bobby toured her around the mansion, and as the day went on, he began to like her more and more. He spoke to Warren afterwards about his feelings for Kitty, and for some reason Warren promised not to go after Kitty. Jean and Scott both got along with her very well too, and while she was originally intimidated by Wolverine, she quickly warmed up to him. By the end of the night, she also told Kurt that he could turn his image inducer off. All in all, it was a good day for the newest X-man, and Bobby had high hopes for what tomorrow would bring.

The next day in school, Kitty was struggling to open her locker. She finally ripped it open and all of her books slid out. "Damn it!" She yelled.

"Hey new girl...need some help?" She turned around to see Bobby grinning at her. She smiled at him.

"Are you like, offering to carry my books Bobby?" Kitt asked.

Bobby smiled, "I believe I am." He bent over and picked up her stack of binders, notebooks, and textbooks.

Bobby looked down at the top book. "A.P. Ancient World History huh? Quite the nerd aren't you?"

Kitty blushed, "Yeah, just a little. I actually have that class right now. Walk with me?"

Bobby grinned and nodded. Kitty asked him, "So like, what do you have now?"

Bobby said, "I actually have a free period, so I'm probably going to go to the gym."

Kitty laughed, "So I'm a nerd, and you're a jock right?"

Bobby smiled, "It looks that way. We'll here we are. Your teachers name is Mr. Muller, nice guy, baseball coach." He looked inside and gulped, "Ok, so have fun, bye." He walked away quickly.

I wonder what that was about. Kitty said, "Bye Bobby" as he walked away and went and sat in the class room. No sooner did she walk in then two girls approached her. One was Asian with short black hair, and the other was Caucasian with dirty blonde hair.

The Asian girl asked, "Were YOU just walking with Bobby Drake."

Kitty stuttered, "Um...yes."

"Why?" The blonde demanded.

Kitty said, "Because we're like, friends. Who are you and why are you like freaking out?"

The blonde rolled her eyes, "Because we LIKE used to date LIKE Bobby LIKE Drake. I'm Zelda, this is Opal."

Kitty asked, "Well if you two both dumped him then why do you care if we're friends?"

Opal gave her a dirty look, "No one DUMPS Bobby Drake, he's always the dumper. So don't get to close cause you'll get the same thing. Besides, I doubt he's even interested in a little nerd like you.

"I beg to differ Opal." Kitty turned around and there was Bobby standing in the doorway.

Bobby turned to the teacher, "Yo! Coach. What's up?"

Muller looked up from his paper, "Shouldn't you be in the gym Bobby, you have a free now."

"Yeah well, we got a new girl, Kitty Pryde right here, at our Institute, and the Professor asked me to show her around. Do you think I can sit on your class so I can show her where her next one is?"

Muller nodded, "Sure Bob. Let me know if I'm using too many big words."

"Will do coach." Bobby sat down in a row a few chairs away from Kitty. He waved her over, and after she sat down, he gave a quick wave to Zelda and Opal. Kitty giggled.

"So um, those girls are like..." Kitty started.

"Bitches?" Bobby supplied.

"So like, why did you date them?" Kitty asked.

Bobby smiled, "'Cause I'm a stupid teenage boy?"

Kitty blushed, "You have definite potential."

Bobby started to say, "For what?" but was interrupted by Muller.

"Drake! I thought you were here to listen, not make time with your girlfriend! Get outta here before I bench you for the rest of your life!"

Bobby grinned, "Now would that really be a good idea Coach?"

Muller rolled his eyes, "Maybe not, but you better get out 'cause your face is making me sick." Bobby grinned and Muller went to punch him, and Bobby flinched. "The number of times that you've done that to Summers, and you still flinch when I do it?" He punched Bobby lightly in the arm twice. "Get outta here punk."

Bobby laughed, "Alright I'm going". He looked at Kitty, "I can always talk to my girlfriend later...that is if she wants to."

Kitty smiled and said, "Definitely."

Bobby blushed and said, "Alright! Definitely is good. So, um, bye." He quickly regained his composure and blew a kiss to Opal and Zelda, both of whom were looking at Kitty with contempt.

After he walked away Kitty sunk down in her seat, beet red, and tried to focus on history instead of Bobby.

Bobby whistled as he walked down the hall and was approached by Warren and Kurt.

"Why the grin Drake?" Warren asked.

"I think Kitty and me are together, I'm not sure." Bobby said.

"How can you not be sure?" Kurt asked.

"I made a comment about her being my girlfriend and she didn't really say anything." Bobby said.

"Bring her to Duncan's tonight." Warren suggested. "You'll have fun, and everything will be good. Maybe you can get her to do a little–"

"Dude!" Bobby said.

Later on at the institute, Kitty walked to Scott's room and knocked on his door.

"Come in" Scott said.

"Hi Scott can I like, talk to you for a second?" Kitty asked.

"Sure, what about?" Scott asked.

"Bobby."

Scott looked confused, "Why come to me?"

Kitty sighed, "Well he's too close to Jean, Kurt, and Hank, even though I've never met Hank, so I can't really talk to them about him. Ororo doesn't know Bobby that well. Warren and Bobby are barely friendly so he's not the best judge either. I asked Logan and he said, 'the kid's good to have at your back in a scrap.' So now I'm asking you."

Scott smiled, "That was a very LONG story."

Kitty said, "Yeah well, so can you like tell me what you think about him?"

Scott thought for a few minutes. "Bobby isn't the easiest person to figure out. He's kind of cocky sometimes, and kind of a jerk. But if you're friends with him he's insanely loyal. "

Kitty asked, "What about his girlfriends? I had the pleasure of meeting Opal and Zelda today, and they made it seem like he gets bored easily."

Scott rolled his eyes behind his glasses. "I've met those two before, don't believe them. Girls like Bobby a lot, and they're the only two he's ever dated. They were both crazily possessive and were pretty much bipolar. But, Bobby doesn't cheat, and he treated the two of them pretty well when they dated."

Kitty smiled, "Thanks Scott, this was a huge help."

Scott asked, "Help for what?"

"I think Bobby asked me out today but I'm not exactly sure."

At that moment Bobby walked into Scotts room and said, "Kitty I've been looking all over for you. I'm going to a party tonight, do you want to go with me."

"Are you like asking me out?" Kitty asked.

Bobby grinned, "Are you saying yes?"

Kitty smiled back, "It looks that way."

Bobby blushed, "Cool. Scotty you're driving ok? Ok." He walked out.

Scott sighed, "And sometimes he's really annoying."

Kitty grinned at Scott, "And very cute."

A few hours later, the six X-men rolled up to Duncan Matthew's house in Scott's red sports car.

Jean called after Bobby, Warren, and Kurt as they ran inside, "Remember guys! Low profile!"

Bobby replied over his shoulder, "Yeah, don't break stuff, I don't listen to that rule in OUR house."

Jean rolled her eyes as she, Kitty, and Scott walked up the patio into the very large house.

"His house is like almost as big as the Institute," Kitty said.

Scott replied, "Yeah well, why do you think he's such a rich arrogant asshole?"

They caught up to Warren, Kurt, and Bobby who were all standing starstruck at the party going on in front of them. There were huge tables of food, really loud music, and tons of people dancing.

Warren grabbed Kurt by the shoulder, "Dude, dude! Ping-pong!"

"Ja, ja dude let's go!" They two ran off to the ping-pong tables.

Jean began to pull Kitty away, "Come on, you've never met Taryn, she's one of my best friends. She's probably here somewhere." She began to drag Kitty threw the throng of people.

Scott yelled to Bobby so he could hear him, "Pretty wild right?"

"Yeah isn't it awesome?"

Duncan Matthews shoved his way through the groups of people to where Scott and Bobby were standing, "Summers! Drake! Nice of you to join us. Can I get you anything to drink?"

Scott frowned, "No, I'm fine."

Bobby grinned, "Beer for me!"

Scott glared at Bobby who looked at the floor, "Coke is fine."

Duncan laughed and clapped Bobby on the shoulder, "I'll be right back with it." He walked away to where the can's of soda were. He opened up a Coke, and poured a few splashes of it into a cup. He then pulled out a bottle of vodka from underneath the table and poured it to fill the rest of the cup. He gave it a stir with his finger and grinned, "Looks like you'll get what you want Drake."

He returned to Bobby with the cup and tapped Bobby's cup with his, "Cheers."

"Thanks man."

About a half hour later, when Kitty, Jean, and Taryn were talking. Bobby ran up to them and threw his arms around Kitty. "Heyyyyyyy babyyyyy."

Jean cocked an eyebrow at him, "Bobby what are you doing?"

Bobby looked at Taryn, "Whu-who-doing-me-what? Hey Jean? When did you dye your hair brown? It looks prettttttty."

Bobby began to try to make out with Kitty and she shoved him off, "Bobby, like what are you doing."

Scott ran over and grabbed Bobby and said, "Man, the second I turn my back."

Jean yelled at Scott, "What's going on? Did you let him drink?!"

Scott put up his hands in defense, "What? Who me? Nonono. I've been with him for the whole time and the only drink that he had was a Coke that Duncan..brought...him...shit."

Jean looked confused, "What? Shit what?"

Scott said, "I think Duncan spiked Bobby's drink."

At this point Duncan walked over to the others and put his arm on Scott's shoulder and said, "Whoaaa what's up with Drake? You should keep him on a tighter leash Pryde."

Jean glared at him, "You're a dick. I can't believe I EVER liked you even if that was for about three seconds."

Duncan's face got red, "Oh come on! The little freshman shit is just getting initiated into high-school. And you want me and you know it! You're just whoring yourself out to Summers to make me jealous."

Scott began to draw back a fist but was beaten two it by Jean who slapped Duncan as hard as she could, causing him to fall to the floor. "Jackass" she said. "Come on Scott we're leaving." She sent out a mental call to Kurt and Warren, and stormed out with Scott in tow.

Bobby stumbled over to Duncan and shoved a finger in his face, "And I don't want to see you or any of your five twins ever again. Or I'll deck ya. I'll deck you in the c-ca-face. Ha I almost said case. Face case. That's what you are a Face Case. Ha!" He began to fall over and Kitty caught him.

"Come on sweetie you've had a long night, don't push your luck". She began to drag him out until Kurt and Warren came and lifted him up and into Scott's car.

The next morning Bobby woke up to Kitty sitting over him with a warm towel. She pressed it against his forehead and he said, "What happened. The last thing I remember was going into the party...and something about face cases."

Kitty sighed, "Duncan spiked your soda with vodka."

Bobby groaned, "Logan and the Professor are going to kill me."

"No. I already told them and they don't blame you."

"Wait what time is it?"

"Eight A.M."

"Oh no.."

"What?"

"Half-Pint, Ice Cube? What's going on in there?!" Logan bellowed as he threw open the door.

Scott and Jean walked by and Jean said, "Ew Kitty what are you doing in there? He has germs!"

Bobby groaned, "Ugh bad karma."

There's chapter four. Hope you like it. Read and Review of course. Chapter five within a week, it'll be a fun one with not one but two, count em, two, characters introduced. Here is a clue for the first, he's fat. The second will be a surprise.
