FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF ALERT!

Okay, I was really bad this chapter. It's just all so adorable and cute and I think I got out all of that darn fluff that's been clogging up my system. Enjoy!

Remy sat up and groggily opened his eyes. He didn't remember anything until he looked at the three others slowly waking up around him. Staring at Kitty, Kurt, and Ororo, Remy remembered the experiment.

Kitty and Kurt looked at each other as they woke up. "Man, I need to be careful about those wires. All that electricity to my brain is messing with my dreams."

"Tell me about it! I dreamed I was a kid again! And then the mansion got attacked…" Kurt looked straight at Kitty and the both said what the other was thinking.

"Oh crap!"

The Professor was sitting in his office facing his four back-to-normal X-Men, explaining what had happened. Ororo was the only one who was really following, but the rest understood some parts of the situation.

"Wait, so, basically, Jean crossed some weird wires in our brains to make us kids again? That is, like, SO freaky!" Kitty put her hands up, shanking her head.

"Wait, but why only us? Professor, why did only we get changed back?" asked Kurt, keeping his arms folded in front of him. Gambit leaned against the wall next to the three chairs in front of the desk.

"Dat's what Remy was wonderin' aussi, mon ami."

"The others will get changed back soon. Unfortunately, Rogue, Piotr, Logan and Wanda have very delicate mental states. Piotr with his mutation, Rogue because her mind is already very cluttered with psyches, Logan because of the many times his own mind has been suppressed, and Wanda because of her past and the emotions that control her mind. We must proceed cautiously with them. Fortunately, now that we know it is possible to return you all to normal the same way as the first time, it will hopefully be much easier."

"So Professor, when do we get to meet the cuties?" Kitty was practically rubbing her hands in anticipation.

Pietro had been re-introduced as an ally to the four X-Men. Kurt didn't say a word, but all of them did retain the memories that spoke to Pietro's honesty concerning his sister. The fact that even Scott trusted him was evidence enough of his sincerity.

After the re-introductions, the older X-Men were finally allowed to see the other children. Scott and Jean leading the way, the other five following. Kitty was currently talking to Pietro about similarities between cooking and engineering, and how some day he should try her legendary and delectable banana nut muffins. Remy shook his head when Pietro looked his way. The only thing that made them legendary was the fact that they were the most common weapons used in the danger room for the other students. Unless they were more 'rock' than 'bounce.' Then they were legitimate weapons for the older X-Men. Kitty was oblivious to the resting place of her muffins.

The Professor had begun to awake the kids from the lab before they left so that they would be wide-awake when the others got there. He himself stayed in the lab, going over some more numbers and variables with Forge and Hank for the looming experiment on the more fragile X-Men.

Kurt was pretty excited about seeing Rogue as a little girl. And Wanda as well. He had never really been able to spend time with Rogue as a child, and he was kind of excited to see what she would be like.

Ororo was calm. Children, even at this age, were nothing new to her. She spent many days with Evan when he was younger, and as interesting as seeing her fellow friends as children, it was nothing she couldn't handle.

Everyone met in the rec room, the four remaining kids happily playing with the toys. Jean and Scott stepped back, leaning against the wall. Pietro stood awkwardly off to the side, and after a moment, Wanda walked over to him, asking to be picked up.

Kurt found Rogue reading by the bookshelf and walked slowly over to her, not sure what to expect. Rogue looked up from her book, seeing her brother kneeling down beside her.

"Kurt!" Rogue leapt into the blue man's arms, clinging to his neck. "I missed you!" Kurt cradled his sister in his arms. The two had become quite close over the years, often times comforting each other when in need, and this was something Kurt wanted, to see his sister so innocently happy.

"Rogue! How have you been?" Even though Kurt knew it had only been a few hours since he last saw her, he wanted to hear her answer.

"I was reading books! One about dancing cows, and one about a big puppy, but my favorite was the one about a Princess getting woke up by a hansom Prince! Do you think that could happen?"

"Rogue, I believe anything is possible in this mansion."

Remy, who had been watching the sibling exchange from a far smiled at Kurt's answer. Kurt put Rogue down and walked over to Wanda and Pietro, leaving Rogue with her books. Remy took this opportunity to kneel next to the girl.

"Chere, no warm welcome for moi?" He smiled. Remy lost any sarcasm that he usually had with the girl. This was, after all, a child.

Rogue stared at him. She moved to stand right in front of his kneeling form with her hands on her hips. "You are a big meanie. You tried to attack me! And you have cooties!"

All Remy could do was laugh.

On the other side of the room, Kitty had sat down next to Piotr and started playing cars with him. After a couple minutes, Piotr looked up and her, temporarily stopping the car noises from coming out of his mouth.

"Miss Katya?"

Kitty giggled. "Yes, Pete?"

Starring up at her, Piotr blushed a little, but soon stood up a little taller. "You are very pretty." After he said this, Kitty was the one to blush.

"Thank you!"

"Miss Katya? Are you married?"

"No…" Kitty stuttered. She wasn't sure where this child was heading, and she had never really had much experience with kids.

"Then someday, I will marry you! You're too pretty to be alone." After this, Piotr went back to playing with his cars, smiling and making car noises. Kitty just smiled and blushed in shock.

Whispering to herself so that he wouldn't hear, she said "I may have to hold you to that."

Ororo was sitting in front of Logan, a large fire truck in between them. Ororo had tried a few times to talk to him, but Logan just stared up at the woman, eyes wide and mouth slightly open, not saying a word. Ororo couldn't help but laugh a little at how shy he was.

"Scott, isn't it a little weird that the X-Men are facing their significant others? Save for the exceptions, but isn't that… kind of illegal?"

"Ummm… Yeah, Jean, I guess it is. But I don't think anyone is going to do anything weird. I think for the most part, they're learning that there is more to love than just romance. I don't know, I guess we'll have to wait and see."

"What if…" At that moment, a horrendous screech of sirens blared through the mansion. The battle for the lives of these children wasn't over yet.
