CHAPTER 1: CONFRONTATIONS & CONFESSIONS

Amanda was currently having one of her good days. Which meant that she was with Kurt. They were currently at the mall, with his sister Rogue and her boyfriend Vincent, sitting across from each other.

She was watching Kurt and Rogue talking about something, but she wasn't paying attention. She was too busy just looking at Kurt. Her mind began to wonder about how much she loved him. He was the greatest sweetest guy she had ever known.

She just wished things had gone better with her parents. After the whole Todd incident with him trashing their home, and Kurt disappearing. They thought of Kurt as just irresponsible, but when the people at Xavier's were revealed as mutants her parents were now terrified for her safety.

She had to sneak around her parents to see Kurt, and she wished at times she was a mutant too just so they HAD to deal with it. That and she fantasized sometimes about what it would be like to see him everyday because she was living at the Institute too.

That brought a smile to her face. She didn't notice that Kurt had asked her a question, until he nudged her.

"Oh what? Sorry." She said her cheeks slightly blushing.

"Having a good daydream?" Rogue asked.

"Judging from the smile on her face, I don't think we need to ask who was in it." Vincent said with a grin plastered on this face.

This caused Amanda to blush a little more. 'Sometimes he can be just a little TOO observant.'

Kurt realizing what he meant by that, began to blush too, and since he had his hologram on it actually showed up on his face, thanks to a little program in it.

"Aw aren't they cute together?" Vincent said with a humorous smile on his face.

Rogue actually smiled a little. It was amazing to Amada that Vincent could always seem to make her do that, in fact since he'd known Rogue she actually seemed more happy now, at least when Vincent was around.

They got up after a little more talking and started to wonder the malls. Vincent noticed Rogue was walking a little funny after about twenty minutes. "Rogue you alright?"

"All that stupid Danger Room trainin' and all the walkin' today has got my feet sore as hell." She grumbled.

Then Vincent did the unexpected as usual and actually swept her up off her feet and continued to walk with her in his arms without losing his pace. She was now in his arms with a vary shocked, and slightly embarrassed expression on her face.

"What the hell are ya doin'?" She asked him getting slightly angry yet her cheeks still slightly flushed. She was also looking around and noticing people were beginning to look.

He just shrugged and smiled at her. "Well you said your feet are tired, so I'd though I'd give you a break, besides it's not like your heavy or anything."

Amanda noticed Rogue was blushing more now, whether because of what he was doing or from embarrassment, most likely both. She also noticed that a few girls with their boyfriends had heard this and saw several of them actually hit their own boyfriends and heard several also ask 'Why didn't they do that for them too?'.

She was trying her best to not burst out laughing at them. She could see that Rogue was embarrassed because of the scene, but was also liking it a little, but trying very hard not to show it.

"Look just put meh down okay, we can take a rest over at that bench." Rogue said to him.

"You sure?" Vincent good-naturedly asked, who still had an amused smirk on his face.

"If ya don't ya won't wake up for a few hours." She sternly said.

He complied immediately and they all rested on the bench, which was just large enough for them all to sit on.

Amanda had a wicked idea and just couldn't resist. "I don't know what your complaining about Rogue, most girls would love to have a boyfriend that would do that for their girl." She made it sound a little wishful.

She got just the reaction she wanted, from Kurt. "I vould do zat for you, Mandy."

She acted all sweet on him. "Would you really?" She moved closer and could see him blushing slightly at her being so close.

He placed and arm around her and drew her close. "Besides I got a better vay of traveling."

Amanda giggled at their little joke. She loved to travel with him because it was an excuse for them to grab hold of each other. Most people get a little disoriented for the first couple of trips, and the smell was a little hard to get used to.

But she didn't mind, in fact she learned to love it. It was always a thrill, because she never knew exactly where he was going to take her.

They were playfully being vary close together, with Amanda almost actually sitting on Kurt's lap, each one being like those couples so see being overly cute and cuddly in public.

"Do we act like that in public?" Vincent asked Rogue next to her.

"No, thank gawd." She rolled her eyes at the two being all 'happy couple' like. She did wish that she and Vincent could get closer, but not act like complete saps.

"Good, you know I care for you and all, but acting like that all the time is just..."

She nodded her head, she knew exactly what he meant. She too cared for Vincent, but acting like that just was what either of them did, at least not vary often and mostly in private.

Though they did show their feelings with each other, it just wasn't that kind of thing, though at times, they both secretly wished they could, but not often. They mostly were just content with words, holding hands, and vary careful embraces and touching. (Not THAT kind of touching, for those of you with dirty minds.)

Little did they realize that a woman was watching them from the next level up. She left before she was seen and was in a hurry to get back home.

It was Margali Sefton, Amanda's mother.

*****

Amanda came into the house, but was stopped as she saw her father and mother waiting for her in the other room, they both had stern looks on their faces.

"Amanda we need to talk."

Those words sent a chill down her spine, and her heart was racing. She knew this wouldn't be good.

They all sat down in the living room, but her parents didn't say anything for a few minutes, it was like they were contemplating on how to deal with her.

Amanda wished they would get this started because it was driving her nuts.

Her mother started first. "I saw you today at the mall with that boy. I thought you stopped seeing him."

Amanda knew there was no way out of this, she couldn't bluff or lie her way out of this one, not if her own mother had seen her, if it was someone else she could have said they were mistaken.

She knew that they wouldn't approve of going behind their backs, but she was tired of this, it was time they realized that Kurt was a good person, and they wouldn't stop her from seeing him, or anyone else she liked.

"I never stopped seeing him." She told them both.

"Amanda we discussed this, we agreed that you wouldn't see him again." Her father said.

"No WE didn't discuss anything, you TOLD me not to, and I never agreed to anything." It came out a little more harsh then she wanted but she hated that her parents seemed so narrow minded on this.

"That is no way to talk to your father young lady, and that boy is irresponsible and could be dangerous." He said to her.

"He is not, you never gave him a chance, just because he's different, I thought you told me never to judge a person because of who they seemed to be."

Both her parents stopped for a moment. They had said that, they knew from experience what some people had thought of them just because of the color of their skin, hell Amanda's father was stopped by the cops the last time he was leaving New York city.

Margali, Amanda's mother spoke next. "Then what do you know about these people?"

"I've been over to their place several times, and I hang out with them. More so now because most of my so called 'friends' don't talk to me any more because I do. They aren't bad people, they're just like us."

"If they're so good, then why did that boy run off when him and that friend of his ruined our living room." He said to her.

"First off Todd is NOT his friend, he came here to steal something of Kurt's, and things just got out of control."

"So why didn't he tell us that?" Margali asked her.

Amanda wasn't sure what to tell them, if they knew what Kurt really looked like they might really freak out about him, and then they would try there best to stop her from seeing him.

"He...he was scared."

"Scared of what?" Her mother asked her.

Amanda was biting her lower lip and didn't know what do to.

"Amanda." She looked at her father. "Just tell us the truth...please."

She took a deep breath. "He was scared of you."

Now both her parents were shocked. "Scared of us?" Her father said not entirely believing that the boy was scared of him and his wife.

"Yes, you see Todd stole this watch from Kurt that...that gives off a hologram around him so he can move around anywhere and not be afraid."

Both of her parents were now a little confused. "What do you mean hon, by not being afraid to moved around?" Her mother gently asked of her.

"You see, Kurt was born different...physically different. He had to hide his entire life from people, he told me as a child his parents did their best to give him a normal happy life, but people who saw him for the first time, don't react well. Sometimes they would case him down, and a few times he got hurt by others."

"So he was afraid we wouldn't react well to his real appearance?" Her mother said.

Amanda looked down at the floor. "Yes, you see when I get him to talk about his past there is so much pain in his eyes, and voice. A few times he actually cried a little and I had to comfort him. He hasn't had an easy life."

She looked at her parents then. "You've told me how hard life has been because of how some people treat you because of the way you look, think how hard it is for him, because he...he doesn't look like any normal person."

"How different is he?" Her father asked her, the question was in the back of his mind ever since she told them about the boy he saw wasn't his real apperance.

"Well...he's blue for starters."

"Blue?" Both her parents said at once.

"Yes, he's got blue....fur. Has only a thumb and two fingers." She held up her hand like Spock did in Star Trek, while giving the Vulcan salute. "He's got yellow eyes, and...and a tail."

They took all that in, they were trying to digest all this information, when her father looked like something clicked in his head and spoke up. "Wait, is he really that blue fellow they showed on the news?"

Amanda looked sheepishly at them. "Yes."

"Why on Earth are you dating...him?" He said, he was going to say 'that' but he knew better then to say it, it would only make things worse.

"Because he's kind, gentle, and treats me better than anyone else I've known. He's the greatest person I can think of, after everything he's been through he still has a joy for life and he's thoughtful and sweet. I've never meet a boy like him, and he's a lot better than Roy or Blake ever were to me."

That had silenced them. They knew how badly those two had treated their daughter, even her father still would like to personally pound them into the ground after all this time, for what they did to her.

"Amanda I think your father and I need to have a talk, please go to your room and we will call you down when we're ready."

She hesitated but left, silently praying she had gotten through to them and she would be allowed to see Kurt.

Her parents didn't say anything for a while. They knew all to well how hard life can be on certain people, and they realized that Kurt should deserve like anyone else did.

After about two hours, Amanda was climbing the walls. She was so nervous that she was biting her nails almost completely off.

Finally her parents called her down to meet them.

"Alright we both have come to a decision. We might let you see Kurt again but only after one condition."

Amanda's heart felt like it was going to beat so fast it would explode.

"We want to meet with Kurt, the real Kurt. We also want to see Xavier's to know that your not being in danger there, and to see it what your telling us is the truth."

Amanda didn't know to be happy or scared for her life, she only had one chance to be able to see Kurt with her parents' permission, and it rested on the others, being on good behavior.

NEXT UP CHAPTER 2: MEET THE SEFTONS

Does anyone know what the name is of Amanda's father, or do I have to make it up?

Red Witch: You may think where I'm going with this, but I'm switching a few things around, (mutant instead of sorceress) and how she gets it you might not see coming. Plus I may try and keep to the show and comics as much as possible, but I like to add my own flare to it, so watch out, because you never know where I could end up.

yae yang: sorry they're nice names, but I forgot in the last chapter to name him, I get to that later, and the dragon is Lockhead. (From the comics)
