Mystique to the boy deep into the woods to a secret tower; mystique raised the boy as her own. Every year the lost prince snuck of his room to watch the floating lights that appears ever night on his birthday. As he stares at them in awe he can't help but feel that they were meant for him.
From the single window that rest at the top of the tower, comes a little cat. Said cat burst out of that window like there was a fire on the other side. The cat, A little brown tabby, with a little tuff of white fur that covered one of her little eyes, climbed on to one of the flower boxes that, was just out of view of the window. The window burst open for the second time that day. Kurt stuck his blue furry head out the window. The black and red dress he always wear seem to shine in the early morning sun.
"Hm, I guess I was vrong, Rouge isn't out here," Kurt's German accent was thick as cement. Rouge let out sigh of relief as Kurt went back inside. Rouge though she was safe felt something wrap around her chest, next thing she knew she was hanging upside down staring at Kurt "Found you!~" Kurt had a smug smirk on his face .Kurt's long blue her was wrapped around stomach. Rouge sighed, Can we find something else to do this is boring.
"No, Rouge this is not boring" the cat stared at with o'really look. "Fine! Vhat do you vant to do?" the cat perked up and pointed down at the lush garden, complete with a pond. " No, Rouge ve can not go down ther-"
"Oh, Kurt, please let down your hair" sweet, yet scratchy voice call for down at the bottom of the tower Kurt called home. Kurt rushed to the window, he saw a familiar red hair, blue skin woman down on the grass that looked soft. Kurt let go off Rouge, who rushed upstairs to hide under Kurt's bed. Kurt quickly picked up his long blue hair, through it out the window for the woman to grab on to. Kurt used all the strength he had to pull her up. Once the woman was through the window, she was wrapped in a bear hug.
"Guten tag, Mutter," Kurt's voice was muffled because his face was mashed into his mother's back. Mystique sighed, He wants something, she thought, he gets extra touchy when he wants something.
"Kurt you can tell me what you want, after you sing for me," she turned around and looked at Kurt.
"How did you know I vantsomething, Mutter?" his face was full of surprise, Mystique chuckled.
"I just know you to well, Kurt." Kurt accepted that answer, he rushed off. Mystique slowly walked to the fireplace to sit in the old, musty, velvet chair that was never moved. Kurt was rushing around getting things, a footrest and hair brush. His pushed Mystique down in to the chair, put his hair in her hand along with the brush and started singing as fast as he could. Kurt's hair started to glow a little blue color, it looked like glowing blue water was pouring down his hair. Mystique started to brush fast to try and catch up to how fast Kurt was singing. As Kurt finished a puff of magic burst into Mystique's face.
"Not so fast next time, Kurt."
"Sorry Mutter, but I know vhat I vant for my birthday," Kurt was squirming on the footrest he was sitting on. "I Vant-"
Mystique cut Kurt off. "It's not your birthday. Your birthday was last year." She was still brushing Kurt's long hair.
"That's the thing about birthdays, there kind of annual thing, Mutter." He paused "Like I vas saying, I really vant to go see the floating lights" the blue skinned woman stop the brushing of the hair for a moment. She know what Kurt meant by "floating lights", she had no idea that Kurt had ever seen the lanterns that the King and Queen let fly in ever year on Kurt's birthday. She decided it was best to play dumb.
"You mean the stars, we can lo-"
"No Mutter, I have charted the stars-"he pointed up. When did he paint that Mystique thought, for this was the first time she was seeing them. "The lights are not stars and they only appear on my birthday, for some reason I feel like they're meant for me." Kurt pulled back the curtain above the fire place to revel another painting. This one still looked wet; it was the night sky with those blasted lanterns.
"No, Kurt you are not going to go see those lights." There was slight hint anger in her voice, "You are going to stay here," these word crushed Kurt's heart, and Mystique could see it in his face. He looked like someone kicked puppy in front of him. Great now I'm the bad guy. Was the thought that passed through her mind as she could she see tears forming in his eyes? "I will allow you to go out on the roof and watch them," Mystique was trying to cheer up her 'son', it wasn't working as well as she thought it would.
A weak voiced "ok," was the only response she got from the fuzzy blue boy before he started to walk away.
"I'm doing this for your wellbeing, Kurt," he stop at the top of the stairs to listen, but didn't look at her. "There are dangerous monster out there that would kill you without a second thought. Mother knows best"
Kurt stood there for a while, letting what the women in blue said sink in. "Ja, Mutter knows best," he whispered just load enough for Mystique to hear. Then walk into his room.

Rouge came out from under the bed when she saw Kurt's blue, two toed feet walk in; his body language said his was depressed. He took a piece of his hair, and used it like a whip to open the skylight. He climbed up the rafting and out on to the roof. Rouge was starting get worried; the only acknowledgement he gave her was a sad, sad smile. Even though Kurt was on the roof, his hair was so long draped down inside and made a neat pile on the floor. Rouge climbed Kurt's soft hair up on to the roof. Kurt was sitting by the edge, carelessly dangling his feet of the side of the roof.
Rouge smiled, as much as a cat can, when she remembered the time that witch first found out about Kurt's "thinking" place.
She nudged his arm to get his attention. "oh, hallo Rouge" the brown little cat with the white tuff of fur on her hand smiled for the second time that day; Till she saw the streams of tears running down his face.
Hey, you look sad, what she do this time? Rouge decided it was Kurt's turn to smile. She crawled into his lap.
"I know you remember the Mutter first found me up here sitting like this. She got so made so subconsciously turn bright Red." He paused and smiled. Finally Rouge thought. Kurt was looking up to the sky. "I am going to see those lights in person!"
What! Kurt you would be going outside! Kurt took Rouge off his lap and stood up. " I. AM. GOING. TO . SEE. THODE. LIGHTS. IN. PERSON!" Kurt was talking load, not enough to alert, the evil witch downstairs. Kurt turned to Rouge "Mutter think I am not strong enough to protect myself, she didn't have to say it. I will find a way to prove it to her by tomorrow. I know it!" Kurt Ran over to the sun roof and jumped, flip in midair that turned into a dive, on to Kurt's bed below. Leaving Rouge stunned, still on the roof; after a minute Rouge ran right after him jumping in the sun roof with just as much flare as Kurt did.
