Chapter 2:
Kitty wanted to wait a while before going through with her plan. She wanted Kurt to suffer—to wonder when his payback was coming, to be paranoid about everything—or better yet, let his guard down and think he was perfectly safe. After two days of waiting, Kitty felt like it was time.
She gathered everything she needed, deployed her 'minions' (Rouge and Evan), and waited until they gave the signal.
It was Rouge and Evan's job to give Kurt a glass of water. An innocent enough gesture, only unbeknownst to Kurt, there were sleeping pills in the water. They waited until after Kurt had finished a DR session. They found him lying on the couch, stretched out and enjoying his freedom. Evan waited in the kitchen with the sleeping pills. Rouge walked by Kurt once, looked at him, and then made her way causally into the kitchen. Once there, she poured a glass of water, and she and Evan mixed in the pills.
"Perfect," Evan whispered, rubbing his hands together gleefully.
"Shh," Rouge hissed, knowing Kurt's hearing was rivaled only by Logan's. She took the glass of water with the dissolved pills and stepped out of the kitchen. She walked into the living room and handed Kurt the glass.
"Yah looked kinda thirty," Rouge said simply. Kurt took the glass and took a big swig.
"Hmm, s'cold," he murmured happily. "Danke."
Rouge shrugged. "No problem. You have a long DR session?" she asked, not wanting to simply walk away after handing him the glass. That might look suspicious. She wanted him to have no idea what was coming.
"Ja," Kurt replied, taking another huge gulp. Perfect, Rouge thought. "Logan was on my butt ze whole time. He accidentally made a new doorvay into ze room. Missed me vith his claws und took out a part of ze wall. It's pretty impressive," he added with an easy laugh.
Rouge smiled, but not for the reason Kurt was thinking. "Sounds like fun. Now, if you don't mind ah'm gonna go upstairs and read that stupid literature assignment. The Great Gatsby or whatevah."
Kurt chuckled. "Hate zat book. Und now I know vhy you Americans don't like to read."
Rouge smiled, nodded, and slipped out of the room. Kurt took one last drink of the water and put the empty glass beside him on the coffee table. He didn't suspect a thing. Evan watched him for a few minutes, just to make sure everything was working.
Sure enough, five minutes later he was yawning up a storm, and ten minutes after that, he was out cold. Evan ran off to get Kitty and Rouge.
The three of them came into the living room together with joyous, but malevolent expressions plastered onto their faces. Kitty looked the most devious of all three of them. She set to work quickly. For her method of payback, she was using an electric razor. She plugged it into the wall and turned it on and off a few times threateningly. Evan and Rouge grinned widely at the sight of it.
"Ready?" Kitty asked. Rrrzzz! Went the razor.
"Ready," Evan and Rouge agreed.
oOo
A few hours later, Kurt woke up. He'd fallen asleep unexpectedly, but it felt good. He sat up, rubbed his eyes, and stretched.
"Man, I didn't mean to doze off," he muttered, twisting his neck around to loosen the muscles. He yawned before getting up off the couch. As he was getting up, his tail brushed one of his arms. To his surprise, he didn't feel fur but….skin. Immediately, he looked down and realized his arms were shaved clean. The skin underneath was a lighter blue, but without fur, they looked very out-of-place against the rest of his body. Horrified, he felt his face, legs, and tail, which were all ok. Only his arms. He looked around, wandering what had happened. Oh God, am I losing my fur or….
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and his furless hands death-gripped the couch cushion. He knew. "Kitty!" he snarled.
oOo
Kitty, Rouge, and Evan were all sitting around the dinner table, waiting for Storm and Jean to bring out the soup, salad, and chicken. Everyone was present for dinner except a certain blue someone.
"Hey, has anyone seen Kurt?" Bobby asked, glancing around the room.
Everyone shook their heads. "That's weird," Scott added. "Kurt never misses a meal."
"I'm sure he'll be fine, man," Evan threw in quickly. "Don't worry."
"Ah can go check on him," Rouge offered innocently.
Scott shrugged. "Let's just eat," he said, sniffing the air. Storm walked in with the chicken just then, and the feeding frenzy began.
Storm and Jean brought the rest of the food and sat down to eat with everyone else. The meal was quiet—only the sounds of meat ripping apart and utensils clinking could be heard. And then, Kurt showed up.
Kurt walked into the room, and everyone at the table who wasn't stuffing their face with food looked up at him curiously. A few people snickered, getting the attention of everyone else. Kurt sighed and sat down in the one empty seat.
"Kurt, wh...what happened to your arms?" Amara asked from across the table. She stared curiously at his hairless arms, her eyes bugging. Kurt shrugged and moved his arms as much out-of-sight as he could.
"Yeah, really," about five different people asked at the same time.
"I…I don't know," Kurt asked, his cheeks turning a strange shade of purple. Inside, he was dying and cursing Kitty and her evil get-back. Everyone—literally everyone at the table—was silent and had their eyes on him. It was very awkward.
"Why don't you, you know, where long sleeves or something," Bobby suggested, trying not to snicker. Even Scott had to fake a cough to cover up his laughter.
Kurt shrugged. "All of my long-sleeved shirts mysteriously disappeared," he admitted sheepishly. Several people let out a small giggle. He blushed some more.
After a few minutes, everyone's attention returned to their food. Kurt sent dagger glares across the table at Kitty, but she quietly ate her soup, never once looking up at him. Frustrated and embarrassed, Kurt finally got up and left.
After dinner, Kitty offered to help Storm do the dishes. Storm looked over at her several times like she wanted to ask her a question, but wasn't sure what to say. Kitty was glad she didn't. When the dishes were done, Kitty skipped off to her room. She felt amazingly good about herself. Her evil plan had worked even better than she'd hoped. It was perfect.
However, on her way to her room, she was stopped by a rather angry blue elf. He came up behind her in one of the hallways and grabbed her around the shoulders. "Look," he growled, making her face him. "You vent too far, Keety. Vhy did you do zis to me?"
Kitty smiled sweetly. "Oh, you know, three days of going to school and hearing, 'What happened to your hair?' and getting teased about eating too many vegetables really pissed me off, Kurt. Did you think I wouldn't get back at you? Cause, like, I said I would."
Kurt sighed. "Ok, so I'm sorry I put hair dye in your shampoo, but zat wore off after a few days. Big deal. You shaved my arms, Keety. That'll take months to grow back. Und until zen, I'll look ridiculous. Oh, and stealing all my long-sleeved shirts vas a cruel touch, I might add."
Kitty couldn't help but giggle. "C'mon, Kurt. Can't you take a joke? I mean, after a day I was over it. The rest was just for fun." She poked him playfully. "I'll give you your shirts back, ok?"
"I'd really like the fur on my arms back," Kurt grumbled, but even he couldn't help but smile a little.
"There, see?" Kitty pointed out. "It's not so bad."
Kurt smiled a little more. "If you give me my shirts back, und, like, somezing to put over my hands, I might forgive you."
"Come with me. I'll give you what you want," Kitty said, taking his hand.
"Fair enough," he agreed. "Und, hey, despite ze fact zat I'm gonna suffer for zis, you pulled a pretty good prank, I must admit. You and me are even. Wanna call it a truce?"
Kitty grinned mischievously. "Sure, but I have an even better idea."
"Vhat's zat?"
"Let's get together and prank a few other people around here. How does that sound?"
Kurt's eyes gleamed evilly as naughty thoughts ran through his mind. "Brilliant," he agreed.
oOo
Hehe I hope Kurt's payback was satisfactorily awesome and funny. There will be more pranking in the next chapter or two. I might even have them do a prank on Logan. Oooh dangerous. Review!
