Title: Carnival Fun

Night before the Carnival

"Kitty! How long more will ya hog up the bathroom?" Rogue shouted from outside the bathroom, banging her fists on the door. Just then, the door opens revealing Kitty in her PJs and a towel around her neck with her hair down.

"Sheesh Rogue, why so impatient?" Kitty asks with a smirk on her face.

"Ah only take less than 10 minutes to bathe Kitty, ya took 20 over minutes!" Rogue fumes as she places her hands on her hips.

BAMF!

"AAH!"

Rogue and Kitty screams as Kurt appears right in front of them. "Kurt! What do ya want me to have! A heart attack!" Rogue bursts out waving her hands while Kitty is still catching her breath.

Kurt gives Rogue an awkward look. "Thought you guys would get use to it by now." Kurt simply puts. "Anyway, have you seen Peprica?"

"She's downstairs in the living room playing Red Warriors with Ray." Kitty says.

Down below, Ray and Peprica say side by side in front of the big screen TV with the others watching them from behind.

"No…NO! My warrior!" Peprica exclaims as she stares at the TV.

"YES! I win! I win! Game Over! I'm still king!" Ray shouts waving his controller in the air.

"Don't worry Peprica; there will still be room for improvement. Hey, none of us has ever beaten Ray in Red Warriors." Bobby assures.

Just then, Kurt ports in. Everyone turns to see Kurt behind them. "Is that Red Warrior?" Kurt asks.

Ray picks up the box and points at it. "Yup! My grandmother send it over to me…more like mail it to me."

"Dude, your grandmother got that for you? What's the occasion?" Kurt asks.

Ray shrugs and looks at the TV. "Well, my grandmother thinks it's my birthday."

"But your birthday was two months ago and your grandmother sent you a box full of Comics." Jubilee points out.

"She can't always remember me and my parents' birthdays so she always makes sure she sends something." Ray embarrassedly says.

"How come I don't have a grandmother like that!" Jamie envied.

Ray sticks his tongue out at Jamie. "Too bad…so who's up for another game?"

Kurt walks over to Peprica and asks her to follow him. Outside on the porch, Kurt looks out at the night sky. "Hey, I just want to say thank you."

Peprica raises one eyebrow and looks at Kurt with confusion. "Huh? What did I do?"

The clouds start to clear up revealing a blanket of stars shining brightly in the sky. "For giving me the chance to forgive my mother. Things are starting to clear up for me and her."

Peprica smiles and looks up at the night sky. "I'm happy for you. At least you get to be with her, my father doesn't even know I'm alive. Cherish her Kurt; she is after all your mother. I think she's happy to know you are willing to give her the chance to change."

At the same time, back at the Brotherhood, up in a large room, a woman sits by her window, looking at the beautiful stars.

She knew she had made many mistakes in her life and she thought that gaining back her son's love will never come true. However, things seem to be kind towards her, letting her have the opportunity to be a mother again.

Mystique looks at the stars as tears seep from her eyes. Those tears aren't sadness but happiness. Her heart felt like it has been raised from the grave and given the second chance to live again. In her mind, she finally got everything settled straight. If she could, she would like to make some changes in her life, starting with herself.

"Kurt, I'm going to make every effort to change. I want to have a happy ending for you and me. Really…I do." Mystique softly says as she gets up, leaving the window open as the soft breeze blew in.

Carnival Day!

"Welcome everyone to our Dream Carnival! We hope that you will enjoy your time here and that your memories here will forever stay in colour! Have a wonderful day!"

Kurt stands at the entrance of the Carnival dressed in blue jeans and green short sleeve collar shirt. He checks his image inducer which also has a time on it. He stands at the side and watch families walk in. There was this certain family that looks so happy together. A little boy with a balloon tied to his hand sits on the father's shoulder as the mother holds the son's hand. Kurt could only just look at them and smile.

"Mummy? Can we ride on the merry-go-round first?"

"Of course honey!"

"Hey James, maybe after that, we can ride the Spinner! How about that?"

"All right Dad!"

Soon, the family disappeared into the Carnival. Kurt leans against the tree, waiting. "Kurt?"

Kurt turns around to see Amanda standing behind him. "Amanda! What are you doing here!" Kurt asks. Amanda turns to look at her mother and father purchasing the tickets. "For the carnival silly. You here alone?"

Kurt couldn't tell Amanda who he's with and now, he's hoping if his mother would turn up as Principal Darkholme. "No, I'm with… a friend."

"Amanda! Come on! Oh! Hi Kurt!" Amanda's parents waved at Kurt and Kurt waved back. Amanda gives a kiss on Kurt's cheek and smiles. "Well, see you later!" and with that, Amanda ran up to her parents. Kurt watches Amanda wave back and enter the carnival.

"Kurt?"

Kurt turns around to see his mother. She's in her real form except for her blue skin; her skin is fair, just like Kurt's.

"Surprised?" Mystique smiled warmly.

Mystique is dressed in dark blue jeans and a white short sleeve collar shirt. For a mother, Mystique looked smashing and to Kurt, his mother looks hot. "Wow." Kurt could only put, staring at her whole outfit. The outfit really brought out her fit body and curves out. Man is he lucky to have a mother who looks good.

"What? Am I too good looking that I might steal all the attention away from you?" Mystique laughs as she gives nudges on Kurt's head.

"AH! Ma…hahaha! Let go me! Hahaha!" Kurt laughs as he struggles to get out of his mother's grip. Mystique finally let's goes of Kurt and smoothens out his hair that she messed up. She takes two steps back and takes a good look at her son. "Hmm…I don't think I can steal all the attention away from you."

Kurt laughs.

"What? Am I too good looking that I might steal all the attention away from you?" Kurt repeats what she said earlier on. Mystique gasps and smirks.

"Are you back sassing your Mother?" Mystique smirks as she places her hands on her hips. "Nope…maybe…depends." Kurt eyes. Mystique places her hand around Kurt's shoulder as they walk in.

While walking…

"So what do you want to ride first?" Kurt asks, looking at the map. Mystique looks over and takes a glance at the map. "You want to start out small then head on to the large ones or just take a dive into the large ones first?" Mystique asks.

Kurt thinks for awhile and sees the word, Bumper Cars.

"How about we think about it on the Bumpy way?" Kurt says

Hey now
Hey now

Kurt and Mystique get into each their own bumper cars. Kurt's car is dark blue with red streaks on it. Mystique's car is dark red with yellow stars on it.

Hey now
Hey now

BEEEP!

The cars stars moving and there it goes!

Have you ever seen such a beautiful night?
I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright

Kurt starts bumping into all the cars mischievously.

When i see you smiling, I go
oh oh oh

Mystique looks over to see Kurt coming straight at her, with a big naughty childish smile on his face. "I'm coming!" Mystique's eyes widen as Kurt came coming closer.

i would never want to miss this
cuz in my heart i know what this is

BAM!

Before Kurt could wham into Mystique, a little girl slams into him first making Mystique burst out in laughter.

"HAHA! Look Daddy! I won! I hit a boy!"

Hey now
Hey now
This is what dreams are made of

Kurt shakes his head and turns to his left. "WHOA!" With a turn, Mystique slams her car into the cushioned wall seconds after Kurt swung his car away.

Wham!

Kurt swings his hand in the air as he brings his mother down.

Hey now
Hey now
This is what dreams are made of

Kurt drags his mother over to the House of Mirrors. "Slow down Kurt!"

I've got somewhere i belong
I've got somebody to love
This is what dreams are made of

Inside the house, Kurt looks at the mirrors. At one mirror, he's big and fat with a large nose. Mystique looks at one mirror, reflecting her as a tall, extremely skinny woman with tiny eyes.

"Hey mum!"

Mystique turns around to see Kurt pretending to be a body builder. In the reflection, he is packed with muscles. "Look! No image inducer!" Kurt points out.

(Hey now)
(Hey now)

Mystique takes out her camera and puts non-flash. She takes a few pictures of Kurt being a muscle man. Looking back at the pictures on her digital camera, she laughs. "Working out a lot?" (Sarcasim)

Have you ever wondered what life is about?
You could search the world and never figure it out

Mystique throws the camera to Kurt as he takes pictures of her with funny reflection. One is she looks like a fat pig. One is she has a tiny waist with a thin body at the top. Kurt couldn't help but burst into laughter as his mother makes funny faces.

you don't have to sail the oceans
no no no

A picture of Mystique arm in arm with Kurt, both with big smiles on their faces and with the peace sign.

happiness is no mystery
it's here now it's you and me

Mystique is at the Bow and Arrow where you have arrows with plunger tops at the end instead of sharp things. With one pull, she lets go and the arrow goes sailing and hits the middle of the board.

Hey now
Hey now
This is what dreams are made of

"Prize for you!"

A man gives Mystique a medium sized white teddy bear. "My turn!" Kurt excitedly says.

Hey now
Hey now
This is what dreams are made of

Kurt takes out another arrow and pulls. "Fire away!" Mystique shouts. As Kurt is about to let go, a little girl rushes past him and he let's go the arrow into the man's face.

"MMFFFF!" The man shouts as he tries to pull the plunger off his face.

"GASP!" (Mystique's hands over her mouth and Kurt's hands over his eyes)

I've got somewhere i belong
I've got somebody to love
This is what dreams are made of

Kurt lifts the large wooden hammer and slams it onto the platform. The ring raises upon impact and only went up to ALMOST THERE. Mystique grins and takes the large hammer. "Let me show you how an expert does it."

"Oh who is this expert?" Sarcasim

Open your eyes
(This is what dreams are made of)
shout to the sky
(This is what dreams are made of)

Mystique slams the hammer down and the ring shot up and hits the bell. The bell lights up and a sign shows up, YOU'VE REACHED IT!

Kurt twitches as Mystique looks over smiling, happy at her achievement. Kurt looks at her. "Lucky I guess."

Then i see u smiling, I go
oh oh oh

Mystique and Kurt are strapped into each a seat and soon, the seat start twirling around the platform. It got faster and faster and you can hear people screaming out.

"WOOHOO!" Kurt yells out.

"AAAHHHH!" That was Mystique

Yesterday my life was duller
Now everything's Technicolor

The seats spun like never before and soon, the place light up with different colours like the place was a disco.

(Hey now)
(Hey now)
This is what dreams are made of

Kurt and Mystique got off the ride and both were very dizzy, especially those who rode on it.

Hey now
Hey now
This is what dreams are made of

Kurt and Mystique walked towards each other unsteadily. Each look at each other and both cover their mouths.

I've got somewhere i belong
I've got somebody to love
This is what dreams are made of

Both ran past one another to the toilets, with a very sick look on their faces.

(Hey now)
(Hey now)
Hey now
This is what dreams
This is what dreams are made of

Outlook of the carnival.

The next chapter is also about Kurt's father and how Mystique lost him. After Carnival Fun 2, there will be Carnival Fun 3 where Amanda's parents meet Mystique and Kurt. At that story, Amanda gets suspicious about Mystique and Kurt. Why didn't Kurt tell her?
