You Are my Fairy Tale

Today we begin a section with one-one. I was paired with Kitty. And I really thought it was going to be easy. But that girl is as sleek as a cat. Conclusion: we were both exhausted when the class was over!

"That was very good girls. I'm proud!" I felt Mr. Summers pat on my back, but it was aching so much that it felt like a punch on my bones.

"Wait a sec, Alice. I can't move," We both fell on the ground, which was fine, since we were in the training room and no one was around. Mr. Summers had another class and the other pairs were in different areas.

"My legs hurt so badly," I mumbled in response. "You're a good opponent, I'll give you that." I forced my almost dead hand to hers and tried my best to squeeze it.

"Ditto." We heard the sound of the alarm that indicates that another section was over, but we're too tired to move.

"I can't believe you tried to quick me on the chin like that!" But I was laughing when I finished saying it, for some reason. And we both started to laugh, but Kitty grew tired because of her muscles.

"Oh man, I forgot! We have to get ready to go to the town and buy the stuff for the party."

It was Sara's birthday. Sara is an adorable 10 year old who lives with us. Her parents are in Canada and we decided to throw her a party when they get here. The good thing is that we're not too far from the stores to get everything we need, but we gotta get a move on, or else we'll be too tired to do anything.

"You're right. What do yo… HEY!" But she was gone. Like always, Kitty used her ability to go downstairs to get ready and left me here, talking to myself.

Whatever. If she wants, she can come look for me. I'm too exhausted to move because of the little ninja.

I thought I closed my eyes for only a second, when a figure poked me.

"Alice, are you dead?" I could hear the smile in his voice, and by the way he was breathing, his section was over too.

"Yes, now go away. Leave me be." Dramatically, I extended an arm on the ground and gave an unnecessary last breath. "No need to mou… PETE!" It was useless. Once again, he caught me easily on the ground and threw me under his shoulders.

"So, how was your first session with Kitty?" Fight was useless, so I let him carry me to the elevators… again.

"Not so easy. That kid is fast!" When he put me down, I tried to flex my muscles, and it was even worse So, I throw my weight to him and felt his chest rise and fall with laughter.

"Well, she has more time training then you. That's all, you'll get her next time." I mumbled and put my arms around him with my eyes closed. Even all sweaty, Peter was very comfy.

"And how was your training?" The elevator stopped and we came to face with the rest of the group. Not many of them had the same happy faces as Peter. One in particular.

"I had my training with John so…." He winked and just let it there. If John could make fire, he'd certainly would do that now.


"Alright, so a princess party! You guys, this is really important, so let's remain focused, ok? Only buying what we'll need and nothing more."

It was obvious that Jubilee was very serious about the whole thing, and so were we. Sara's parents are also mutant, and for safety measures, they decided to put their daughter in the school. The least we could do when they reunite was to throw a huge party.

Everyone would do something together. Rogue and Bobby will take care of the music, Jubilee, Kitty and even John will take care of the cake and food, and Peter and I will make the decorations. Emphasis on the flowers that thanks to me will be 100% natural.

Which is why we split in groups to go look for all the things we'll need. We left Bobby and Rogue first on the music store and Jubilee, John and Kitty on the bakery to order the cake.

"Can I drive?" One of the things that was bugging me was that I didn't have my license yet. I could pilot an invisible jet and I couldn't drive a hummer? How unfair is that? "Pete, can I drive?"

"For the hundredth time Alice, NO!" I was driving him mad with my childish actions. Heck, I was driving me mad, but all the way to the store, he was smiling.

"And why not?" I glanced at him, messing with the radio, but he stopped my hand.

"I already told you I'm going to teach you, ain't I? Now sit and relax because we're almost there."

"Are we there yet?" He started to laugh with me. I just can't sit still, and he knew that. Poor Peter, he probably choose the worst person to go with him. But hey, he chose it. "Pete, are we there yet?"

Anyone that didn't know this giant who looks like Rambo is a teddy bear more than anything would be terrified of the faces he's making at me now. But I know him.

"Come on Pete's! It's just a…" But my playful mood was gone when I saw a huge billboard next to the signal where we stopped that said: 'The world belongs to us humans. Death to all mutants!' with a couple running for some type of sci-fi green monster. I flinched in my seat as I stared at the threat in front of us.

"It's alright. We're almost there," Peter said as he took my hands. Unfortunately, the billboard with the hate message was right below the shop we're supposed to go.


"Stay close, ok? Everything's alright."

We enter the store, which seemed very normal without the hate sign above the entire place, and went to look for the things we might need. The silence was deadly, because I was too scared to say anything, and there weren't many people inside the place.

"I'll go pick the balloons in the hallway and you go pick the boxes, ok?" I tried my best to send him a reassuring smile, and it looked like I succeeded, because each of us went to a different direction.

I was looking for the boxes, which I found, and by then I was calm again. I was pretty sure that Peter was having more trouble than me, because I told him to pick the light pink balloons and he told me for the hundredth time that he couldn't tell the difference between light pink and pink. Boys.

"Hi, welcome to Marty's. Can I help you?" A clerk that said Bill on his tag came to aid me. He was about my age, with a grunge look, and he seemed to need to wash his hair, but he still looked cute.

"Yes please. I'm looking for light pink balloons. Do you have those?" He told me to wait and as I looked up, I could see one of those mirrors they keep in shops to watch over the movement of the place and as I suspected, Peter was still having trouble with the colors.

"Here you go. Light pink for a girl's party. Can I get you anything else?" Was he trying to flirt this close to me? I can't tell because I wasn't used to this. "Say, my shift is almost over, what do you think about grabbing a burger nearby?" Ok, he was definitely flirting! What the hell?

I mean, I'm flattered. I am, but… well, he's kinda cute and he's got a nice smile. So….

"I'm here with my boyfriend." And, by some kind of miracle, Peter was beside me. "Honey, why don't you go and pay the boy while I wait outside?" I marched outside to wait for our group and came face to face with the billboard.

They were all starring at me, the young and healthy couple and the Halloween creep that was supposed to be me. I know what they're saying. 'Run from her, the monster, the freak, the abomination of nature'.

"All good to go?" Peter snapped me out of my daze, and when I saw the bags in his hand and looked inside the store I could see that the boy was way more scared than he was supposed to be. What Peter do to him?

"Let's go." He put his arms around my shoulder and led us to where we parked the car. Suddenly this trip became more tense than we could imagine and I wanted to go home.


"You guys got everything?" Kitty appeared in the car and opened the door for the others. I didn't have the chance to talk to Peter yet and I was afraid that he might get the wrong impression about what happened on the store.

"Yes! Everything's ready with us!" Rogue seemed way too happy for a trip to the music store.

"Rogue, honey, I don't think Sara will want to listen the Spice Girls on her party." Bobby was apologetically to us, but we knew he was more than afraid to hear his girlfriends reaction.

"Don't you talk to me like that Robert!"

And that was the beginning to a long discussion that only stopped when we got to the mansion. Good 35 minutes.

"Hey, did you guys see the billboard?" Kitty whispered to the front seat when the shouting got louder. I could only nod.

"Yes," Peter said as he took my hand again.


"So, it's all set!" I couldn't believe my eyes! Everything was just beautiful! We decorated the entire first floor and thanks to Dr. Grey and Mrs. Monroe's help, it looked like it was out a Disney movie.

"What do you think Sara?" I heard the little squeal before I actually saw her through all the flowers that were still on the way. She came running and screaming, right to the pile the Dr. Grey was trying to organize.

"It's so beautiful! Thank you!" Her happiness was contagious, and she couldn't stop talking about how happy her parents would be when they saw the picture of the family that Peter made and put in the center of the room.

"Ok, little one. Now, all excitement aside, you need to go to bed. It's late and it's pass your bedtime"

"But I can't! I'm not sleepy! Please Dr. Grey?" I guess she was used to little Sara's tricks because she convinced her to go bed as long as she would tell her a story.

"Jean, we need to check the medicines now, remember?" Mr. Monroe called her from the ceiling that Peter was so gently holding her.

"You're right. I'm so sorry Sara, but can we do it tomorrow?" Her little eagle eyes shone with tears and I felt so bad for her, that I couldn't say nothing.

"Would you like me to tell you a story, Sara?" I might not be very good, but I hate to see that desolate look on a child's face.

"Yes! Thank you! Let's go! Bye Mrs. Munroe and Dr. Grey!" The next thing we knew she was dragging me along, forgetting all about the previous drama, towards her bedroom she shared with the other girls of her age.

"Goodnight to you too, Sara!" Peter called, but I don't think she heard him.

It was such a cute room, all pink with stuffed animals all around. I suddenly had a flash of the billboard this morning, and the only thing in my mind was how could anyone fear us?

"Alice! Come on, tell us a story!" They were very impatient, and probably because it was due to be their bed time, but I had a feeling they weren't used to sleeping without a story. Oh, Dr. Grey.

"Ok, girls. Once upon a time…." I kneeled on the carped and laid beside a huge Winnie the Pooh bear as they closely listened. "There was a princess called…." Oh man, I'm not good at this.

"She was a beautiful princess and…." I was prepared for the laughter of the girls, but they're not supposed to sound this deep for their age. Or gender.

"Gee, the girls won't sleep with such an exciting story, Alice," Peter barged into the room, taking most of the space with the frame. When he sat beside me on the floor, it seemed that the carpet was gone.

"Oh, really? I'd like to see you do better." He grinned and Sara gave him her teddy bear and he relaxed on the floor, stretching his arms.

"Alright girls, prepared for a story that you'll never forget." He was so comfortable, and to my surprise of the infinite things that Peter does marvelously, he told a beautiful story that even I was excited to hear.

I started to doze off and next thing I knew it, Sara was on my lap, and Tina and Daisy were listening to the end of the story on Peter's lap, while Rita was the only one who lost the battle against sandman.

"So, the prince kissed the beautiful princess and she woke up." Ok, I knew this story, but I never heard it like that before. It's not my fault I had my eyes closed.

"Is the princess pretty?"

"What a silly question Rita! Of course he is! She's a princess!"

"Well, ok, who does she looks like then?"

"She looks just like Alice"

Wait, am I dreaming? Because it feels real, and I'm hearing small giggles.

"If Alice is the princess, then you are the prince, right Peter?"

Silence. Did I stop dreaming?

"She's asleep now. Does that mean that you have to kiss her to wake up?"

"You girls had too much story time already. Now it's time to sleep because tomorrow is a big day."

I then felt something rising me up. Was I flying? What a weird dream.

"Awww, he's carrying her."

"Night girls. Sleep tight."

What a weird thing to be dreaming about. Since that's all that was, I decided to take advantage while I could, so I snuggled closer to the mass of concrete who was making me fly and I heard a groan in response.

"Urgh. I wish you wouldn't do that. It's not easy for me to stay in control this way."

"Ummm, goodnight my prince." I felt the dream Peter laugh.

"Goodnight, my princess."


HOW CUTE WAS THAT? Ok, now you know that only ONE thing can come out of this, right? Review and I'll let you know ;)
