–Traditional Mexcian folksong.
Ororo Munroe, alias Storm was down.
The X-Tingusher’s vast powers had knocked her against a wall, where she struck
it at the speed of 50 miles per hour (80.4672 km per hour) and collapsed after
the collision. "Goddess, help me…" She said as she passed out.
"Pheonix! Storm’s down! Go help her! I’ll cover you!" Too bad the
X-Tinguisher had other plans for Scott "Slim" Summers, alias Cyclops
and Jean Grey-Summers, alias Phoenix. Turning to them, he intoned in his
ungrating voice: "Well, if it isn’t the telekenetic and the
eye-shooter." He then drew upon his vast powers, and Scott
"Slim" Summers, alias Cyclops was knocked back into the ground some
50 feet (15.24 m) away from where he once stood. "SCOTT! NO!"
"Uhn…" "SCOTT! TALK TO ME." "I think you’ve got bigger
problems now, red." Jean Grey-Summers, alias Phoenix was barely able to
construct a telekenetic shield around herself and Scott "Slim"
Summers, alias Cyclops, her husband before the X-Tinguisher shatttered it like
fragile glass with a density of 2.1 on the mohs scale. "UH! SCOTT!"
Phoenix said, milliseconds before being thrown around like a rag doll by the
X-Tinguisher's fast powers. Neither one of them would be able to stand without
medical treatment.
Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes turned
to Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat. "I have an ideal,
but I’m going to need your help." "I’ll do anything to save my
friends." "Good. The first thing we’re going to need to do is phase
him out of that armor." "Then what"? "I’ll find somehting
to stop him." The two of them then held hands together and went off
towards fate. Once they had arrived there, the X-Tinguisher was waiting for
them. He had gathered the fallen X-Men and placed them into a neat row of
victims. "The phasing witch." He intoned in his ungrating voice.
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat then phased into the ground,
and moved towards him. "What is this? Some trick of sorts? You were not in
the files of the X-Men! Who are you?" "The name’s Galoshes, not that
you would care." Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes then fired a powerful acid
upon the X-Tinguisher, who used his vast powers to deflect the blow. This
struck a wall, which immediately melted like ice in 300 degree Fahrenheit
(148.889 degrees Celsius, 759.67 degrees Rankine, or 422.039 degrees Kelvin)
heat. This caused the wall to collapse above the melted part, which fell upon
the X-Tinguisher. Of course, little if any rubble actually hit him. Ralph
Walls, alias Galoshes then used this distraction to sprign towards the
X-Tinguisher and make a diving kick. This knocked the X-Tinguisher down. From
there Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat then grabbed the armor
by the wrist and phased it into the ground. Fur the first time, the X-Tingusher
was revealed. One would expect a tall man who was deformed there; instead the
man measured 5’2" (1.5742 M,) had balding, short black hair which
projected about 2 inches (5.08 cm) from his head, wore prescription glasses
with black plastic frames; he was also attired in a white collared shirt, a
plain blue tie, and brown pants with black dress shoes; He appeared nebbish in
nature and a little quiet. Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes then approached the
X-Tinguisher and grabbed him. "YOU! Archibald! How could you do
this!?" "Archibald?" "I should have been the X-Man. I was
more powerful! I knew how to work within them! I should have been the one to
win her heart!" "Both... both of you wanted me?" Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes was not amused by this. "I can’t believe you. I beat you
fare and square for the chance to be an X-Man. " Ralph Walls, alas
Galishes said. "Maybe so, but I am the better person!" "If
you’re so good, why did we beat you?" "BAG! PAF! You X-Men are
knitting! I’m joining Magneto and his aco lights!" With that, Archibald,
alias the X-Tinguisher grabbed his armor and pushes a button on it. He and the
armor then banish. "Are you alright?" "Yes, but we should see to
our friends here." "Agreed."
The young woman in the trees
brooding. She was about 5’6" (1.6764 m) in height, had dark red hair with
a white streak in the front, green eyes, Caucasian skin and an atheltic frame.
She was clad in a blue spandex bodysuit, boots, and gloves. The only part of
her she had uncovered was her neck and head. The only name she ever had was
Rogue. Abandoned as an infant, she grew up in Caldicott County, Missisippu by
herself for awhile, then under the adoptive tutilage of Raven Darkhölme, alias
Mystique. After breaking with her foster mother, Rogue then went to Professor
Charles Xavier in hopes that he could help her control her powers. Since then
she’s been a regular member of the X-Men. Right now the sky w"as somewhat
overcasted with colio-stratus clouds which seemed to al most completely blanket
the sky. Rogue was sitting in a tree, bemusing her situation; it had been a
long time since she met Professor Charles Xavier, who has tried his best to
help her control her powers, but muck of it in vain. She examined her hands
thuroughly. "I'm cursed. Cursed with
permanent haptephobia -- fear of contact." "Isolated." "Alone." Nobody can touch
me. Not in the least. No man may ever know what it’s like to kiss me. No man
can ever taste the tender charms I have to offer. I want to offer it to a man –
badly." Rogue continued to bemuse her situation. "Love is a curious thing." She thought, "I want to love a
man – any man. Someone who would respect me for me. Someone who would like to
do what I do, take slow walks holding hands, Spend time getting to know me. Is
is really too much to ask for one day where I can touch someone? I don’t want
to hurt you – I want to feel your touch." All her life Rogue felt isolated
and alone, as if nobody could – or should touch the true her within. She then
started to cry. "I need a break, a break from all this pain and suffering
and lonliness." At that point, an alien spaceship appeared headed right
for her. The craft was an escape pod which measured about 9 feet (2.7432 M) in
length and 4.5 feet (1.3716 M) in width. It was a mettalic silver color, and
heading downward to earth at an angle of 72 degrees to perpindulcar to earth.
"He’s coming in too fast." "I should go help him." She then
flew off and met up with the escape pod and grabbed ahold of it to slow it
down. This, of course, started to burn her clothing, because of the friction
caused by the atmosphere and and caused the shuttle to heat up. Rogue was
forced to let go of the escape pod and allow it to fall helplessly to earth.
However, she made it crash into the Hudson river. It landed with a loud splash
and displaced 122 cubic yards (97.2757 cubic meters) of water and heated the
water up from 68 degrees fahrenheit (20 degrees celcius, 293.15 Kelvin, and
527.67 degrees Rankine) to 74 degrees fahrenheit (23.3333 celcius, 296.483
Kelvin and 533.67 Rankine). While this shocked the marine fauna somewhat, they
were able to easily adjust to this. This, of course, cooled the spacepod down
from about 300 degrees fahrenheit (148.889 celcius, 422.039 Kelvin, and 759.67
Rankine) to about 75 degrees fahrenheit (23.8889 celcius, 297.039 Kelvin, or
534.63 Rankine). A voice from inside the cabin spoke in a language that Rogue
was not familiar with; then again, she only knew three languages: English,
Japanese, and Shi’Ar. At first there was no movement or actions from the craft,
it merely sat motionless in the shallow waters which did not cover it. Rogue
flew over to the ship and checked it out. She had never seen that design
before, and didn’t know what to make of the craft. "Anyone alive in there?
Do you need help?" Rogue asked, half expecting not to receive an answer.
Again the strange language came out. "Checking planet's atmosphere..." It announced. "There does not seem to be any
problem with with this planet. Comencing starilization proceedures." Had Rogue been able to speak
this language, she would have known that the computers were determining weather
or not the planet was safe for the occupant to walk upon. "Profess complete. Allowing hatch
to open now." With
these words, the spacepod’s door cracked open and let the atmospheres mix. The
door then fully opened and a man stepped out.
What Rogue saw made her Southern
heart skip a beet. She saw a man which made her drool on the inside. He was
about 6’2" in height, weighed 199 lbs. (90.2649 kg) humanoid in shape,
with flowing blonde hair and blue eyes. He had a very muscular form and a broad
chest and a killer smile and a gentle aura which seemed to invite Rogue for
more and a pair of muscular legs and he was clad in a white bodysuit that clung
to his athletic, muscular frame like a rubber glove and armed with a laser
postal in a holster on his hip which was attached there by a belt and a nice
pair of gloves and boots which couldn’t hide the fact that he was well built
and commanded attention no matter where he went. He looked over Rogue and said
something in his alien language. "Hello. My name is Renphel." He said. Rogue, needless to say, was struck
dumb when she laid eyes on him. She didn’t know what to say, or if she should
say anything. "Do
you not understand what I'm sauing?" The alien said. "Wha -who are you?" Rogue
asked. The alien stood confused for a little, then pulled out a small box that
measured about 2 inches (5.08 cm) square and had a wire leading to an earpiece
that he stuck into his ear. Upon turning the machine on, he talked again.
"There, that should let me talk to you in your native tongue."
"Wha – who are you?" "My name is Relphell. I come from a planet
for from here and in peace. I need your help." "Just What’s
Wrong?" "I am being hunted for a crime I did not commit. I am the son
of a revolutionary who’s rebellion was brutally crushed. I wasn’t a part of the
revolt, but none the less I was sentenced to die. I need asylum."
"Well, I think you should come with me." She then lead the alien back
to the house through the woods and to the mansion. "Nice place."
Relphell commented. "It’s just where I live. I’ll show you who owns
it." Just before they entered the house, however, An armed guard with a
laser teleported in. He was also humanoid in shape, about 5.8 feet (1.76784 M)
in height and weighted about 166 lbs. (75.2963 kg) he was clad from head to tie
in a futuristic armor and pointing a laser rifle at them. "Step away from the criminal now!" The alien shouted. He then
fired his laser at Rogue, hitting her point black in the chest. She was knocked
off her feet and back into the ground, landing hard on the concrete. Relphell
then struck the alien on the side of the jaw, and the alien fell like one of
those string puppets with the button pushed in. Relphell then rushed over to
Rogue, who was lying on the pavement, hurting. "I am most sorry, I did not
mean to drag you into this." He then checked Rogue over, and found she was
not breathing. Instinctively and without reguard to his life (For, after all,
he just met Rogue and didn’t know about her absorbtion powers.) he started
giving mouth-to-mouth to Rogue. Having been instructed in first aid at his home
planet, he tried to make Rogue as comefortable as he could. After about 35
seconds of giving her mouth-to-mouth, Rogue resumed breathing and
consciousness. She then realized that Relphell was touching her bare skin, and
pushed away from him. "What do you think you’re doing!?" She demanded
angrily. "You weren’t breathing, I was giving you mouth-to-mouth."
"You couldn’t have been. If I touch anyone, I absorb their powers."
"But you sensed my lips on yours, did you not?" Rogue couldn’t find
fault with this, but wasn’t sure about things. "I am truly sorry if I
caused you unease or discomfort. However, where I come from, it is
indoctrinated that one should help another in need." "Well, it wasn’t
really discomfort, more like surprise. I really didn’t expect any man to be
able to touch me like that." "Well, we aren’t save until we get
inside. Do you think you can go inside?" "Yes." "Then let’s
go." So they went inside together and found Kurt Wagner, alias
Nightcrawler sitting on the bannister of the main entry. "Well, who is
your new fraud?" "My name is Relphell. I want to speak to your leader
about asylum." "The Professor is in his study right now." Rogue
was more than eager to show him towards the studly.
Meanwhile, Rolf Farington, the
cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes and Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock,
alias Psylocke were sitting juxtaposed in the bedroom of Elisabeth
"Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke. They had their arms around each
other and were kissing each other passionately. Hands roamed freely over each
other's back's, gently caressing and arousing each other into a passionate
frenzy. When they came up for air, Ralph Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes and Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke stared
deep into each other's eyes. "You know, Betty, even though we've known
each other a few weeks, I feel like I've known you all my life. I feel like
everything we have is lined up for love. Every time I'm near you, I can't help
but think of love." "I know what you're thinking, Rolf. You want to
take the big plunge into a full consumation of our love. You're worried that I
know about this because of my telepathic abilities and are afraid that I'm
going to push you away for wanting this. Well, truth be told, I've been wanting
it as well, you've gotten me courious as to what is really you." "Oh,
Betsy, you've made me the happiest man on the face of this earth."
"Well, you'd better make me the happiest woman on the face of this earth…
or else!" Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes wasn't
about to hold anything back at this point…
Once there, The woman known as Rogue
and the alien known and Relphell talked to Professor Charles Xavier. "I
seek sanctuary here, Professor. I am on the run from the law of my people. We
are fighting a war that is very unjust. My people are brutally attacking a
bunch of piece loving types, and they want me to fight. I refused, and so I
fled. I ran. I ran so far away from my homeworld. I ran until I ended up here.
I ask you to help me here." Professor Charles Xavier summoned his vast
menial powers and then did a mindprobe on the alien known as Relphell. "I
sense you are telling the truth." "You are welcome to stay for
awhile. However, we would like to know more about this." "Certainly,
Professor. Where should I begin?" "Why would a normally peace-loving
race want to strike out and commit such an act of barbariansim?"
"It's a long and complicated story. Basically there was a terrorist who
crashed onto the planet. They didn't know he was a terrorist at the time, so
they repaired his shop and sent him on his way. My people were aghast when they
heard this, and decided to take revenge against the other race. They viciously
and brutally attacked a bunch of peace-loving people. I told them I wanted to be
no part of this, and they jailed me for it. I escaped, and came here. Please
help me." "Well, I don't see why we should not. You have a safe place
with us." "Thank you. Professor. You don't know how happy I am for
this." "I do, Relphell. Remember I am a telepath." All people
present laughed slightly. "You're going to like it here, Relphell. I'm
sure we could use your enhanced strength and other talents". "I'll do
my best to be all you want me to be." With that, The woman known only as
Rogue and the alien known only as Relphell walked out juxtaposed and holding
hands. They went out to the hallway and out of the mansion all together and
looked upon the pleasant greenery of the mansion grounds in the springtime.
"This place you live at, it is so colorful. I can see why you like living
here." "Yes. I'd like to give you a tour of the place." "By
all means, please do so." The woman known only as Rogue then placed her
arm around the alien known as Relphell. "I have the felling this is the
start of something wonderful…"
Ragib "Spaceman"
Williams has been known to act rash on occasion, but this was one time that he
went over the top. Without knowing much about her, he showed up at the front
gates of the X-Mansion. He was clad in upscale gansta fashions. Once there, he
pushed a button allowing him to communicate with the people inside via a
communications device. This wass a box that measured 1 foot (30.48 cm) by 6
inches (15.24 cm) by 4 inches (10.16 cm) which was placed on the wall about
3.28084 feet (1 meter) off the ground. The person at the other end of this
communications device was Piotr "Peter" Rasputin, alias Colossus.
"I'm looking for Ororo Munroe. Is she in?" "May I ask who is
calling?" "My name is Ragib Williams. She and I met yesterday on a
basketball court." "I see. I'll see if she' sin." With that,
Piotr "Peter" Rasputin pushed another button on the communications
device, and then the device connected him to Ororo Munroe, alias Storm. She was
relaxing in her room, reading a book entitled "The Zimbabwe. Culture"
by Innocent Pikirayi. She then stood up and and went to
her communications device. "This is Ororo." "We have someone
here named Ragib to see you. He said you met at a basketball game
yesterday." "Ragib…" Ororo Munroe, alias Storm got a little nervous.
"Show him in immediately. I'll meet him in the living room in a few
minutes." She then turned to the mirror and looked herself over. "I
should fix things up. I look like a mess." She noted her hair wasn't
perfect, and she really should change into something better. But what? She
looked over her closet filled with dresses which flattered her and accentuated
her best features. Ororo Munroe, alias Storm then changed into something more
flattering than she was wearing; it was a pleasant light brown dressed with a
moderately cut neckline and a skirt that stopped at the knees. She then came
down two flights of stairs and into the living room to see Ragib
"Spaceman" Williams. He then approached Ororo Munroe, alias Storm.
"Ororo, you are looking very beautiful today." "Ragib…
hello." Ragib "Spaceman" Williams stood about 2.4 feet (73.152
cm) away from Ororo Munroe. "I've come to ask you some things. I was
wondering if you would be interested in going out with me tonight."
"Well, this is so sudden… I do not really know…" "Come on. It'll
be fun. I know a nice place to visit." "Well, I will need to check
with the Professor first." "Alright." So she went down to
Professor Charles Xavier, who was sitting in his study. He was attired in his
usual suit and tie. "Well, since nobody else is going out today, I don't
see why you should not. Everyone should relax now and then." "Thank
you, Professor." Ororo Munroe, alias Storm said. With that, Ororo Munroe,
alias Storm and Ragib "Spaceman" Williams went out of the study
together. "I am very glad you can accompany me today." "So am I.
So where are we going?" "I have a very special place picked out
here." They walked juxtaposed towards the automobile of Ragib
"Spaceman" Williams. It was a new Pontiac Firebird ®, which measured
about 17 feet (5.1816 m) in length and about 4.6 feet (1.40208 m) in width. It
was painted a light blue color, with the typical firebird logo design on the
hood. Ragib "Spaceman" Williams opened the passenger's side door, and
then Ororo Munroe, alias Storm entered the car and sat down in the passenger's
seat. Ragib "Spaceman" Williams then went around the car in a
counterclockwise manner and then opened the door on the driver's side, and
entered the car and sat in the driver's seat. He then placed the key which measured
3.2 inches (8.128 cm) in length into the ignition key port and turned it. The
car started with no problems and Ragib "Spaceman" Williams drove it
out of the driveway down the street and out to the highway. He didn't stop
until he got to a quiet park in the upstate area. It was an exclusive area that
had been kept more or less wild since the beginning of the century. Ororo
Munroe, alias Storm couldn't help but smile as she got out of the car.
"This place… it feels so peaceful." "I was hoping you'd like it.
I come here sometimes to get away from the hustle and bustle of New York."
Ragib "Spaceman" Williams then took the hand of Ororo Munroe, alias
Storm. "Come, walk with me, and let's spend some time together and get to
know each other." "Alright." With that, Ragib
"Spaceman" Williams started walking juxtaposed to Ororo Munroe, alias
Storm. They walked to the gate and into fate.
The woman known only as Rogue and
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat were talking. They were in
the hallway walking juxtaposed with each other. "So, who's the guy I saw
you with?" "Him? He's called Relphell. He seems nice."
"Nice? Rogue, he was all over you!" The woman known only as Rogue was
surprised with this revelation. "All over me? I wouldn't say that,
Kitty." "Oh really? I think he's in love with you, and you're in love
with him." "Don't be silly, Kitty. I can't touch anyone."
"I saw him touching you, Rogue. I say you'd better grab him while you can
– after all, there are a lot of women out there who would love to get their
hands on him." "You're not going after him, are you?"
"Don't be silly. I'm in love with Ralph. But I can tell you love
him." The woman known as Rogue was very uneasy. "Even if I did love
him, it's not meant to be. I don't think I should ever have a lover."
"Rogue, this isn't about what you think would make everyone else happy.
It's what makes you happy. He's here for a reason: To be your lover. You've got
to go after him now, Rogue, or never know what it's like to be really in
love." "It's not that simple. How do I know he's not just out to get
me in bed? A lot of men would love to get me there, and then leave me there. I
want to know that it's real." "It's real if you make it feel
real." "What's that supposed to mean?" "You're missing a
golden opportunity. You've got to take it while you still have the chance. I
took mine, and look how happy I am." "But I have to wonder about
this. I mean, is it really coincidence that you would get the man you really
love, Betsy would get her man, and then Ororo finds someone she's madly in love
with?" "Well, in the case of Ralph and Rolf, they were cousins,
remember? Even if it is part of some grand design, it's one that we can
trust." "Well, Alright. But if you're wrong, I'm really going to hate
you for it." "Relax. I have a feeling that that you're going to enjoy
being his lover." The woman known as Rogue then left the room, having
heeded the words, but still uncertain as to weather or not she would love him….
Jean Grey-Summers, alias Phoenix and
Scott "Slim" Summers, alias Cyclops were together in their room. She
was clad in a pleasant green blouse and a blue miniskirt. He was clad in a nice
brown polo shirt and white slacks. Scott "Slim" Summers, alias
Cyclops was sitting in a chair. The chair measured 3.1 feet ( m) in height and
was made of Sedar wood. Jean
Grey-Summers, alias Phoenix, was sitting in his lap crosswise. It always felt
good for both of them to be in this position, and while she sat in his lap,
both of them felt the warmth of each other's love. They had their arms around
each other. "Jean, it's so good to be in your arms. I feel very lucky to
have you with me." Jean Grey-Summers, alias Phoenix placed her head upon
the broad, muscular shoulder of Scott "Slim" Summers, alias Cyclops.
"It's been so good with you too, Scott. We've got something special going
– something that doesn't happen very often between two people. I want tk eep it
going for as long as I can." "So doI." Scott "Slim"
Summers, alias Cyclps then placed his hand on the knee of Jean Grey-Summers,
alias Phoenix. He got to feel the soft, silky skin of her knee, and gently
caressed her knee. Jean Grey-Summers, alias Phoenix couldn't help but smile at
this. She then went in for the kiss. Their lips contacted and together they
experienced the joy and intensive leasures of two people truly in love. They
continued to kiss for awhile, then parted lips. "That was so wonderful. I
feel very lucky to someone like you in my life." "I do too. You know,
we've known each other for a long time now, but being with you is still as
wonderful and as exciting as the day we met… only more so." Jean
Grey-Summers, alias Phoenix then ran her hand over the well-sculpted chest of
Scott "Slim" Summers, alias Cyclops. She moved her hand very slowly,
savoring each antometer of skin. Scott "Slim" Summers, alias Cyclops
was already smiling when she did this, and this made him feel wonderful. So
good, in fact, he couldn't stop himself from kissing Jean Grey-Summers, alias
Phoenix. Again they savored each other's lips and their tender charms like a
fine wine. It was something both of them desparately wanted in life; after all,
being an X-Man often means having very little time to get to really know each
other. Both Jean Grey-Summers, alias Phoenix and Scoot "Slim" Summers,
alias Cyclops began running their hands all over each other. When they came up
for air, both of them smiled the smile of true love. "Scott…"
"Jean…"
Professor Charles Xavier was sitting
quietly in his study, contemplating things. He was trying to take in the events
that had occurred since the beginning of the month. He contemplated on how to
make rejections easier on people, so that another X-Tinguisher wouldn't arise.
"I could sense that Archibald was trouble from the beginning." He
then stared deeply, and thought. "I tried to let him down as best I could.
He just seemed too much a loose cannon, someone who would go kill crazy in a
battle situation. That's something that I don't need on my team right now, or
ever." He bemused his situation. At that time, Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes
and Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat entered the room.
"Professor, you seem troubled. Can we help?" "Ah, perhaps. I was
just contemplating on how to prevent future rejects from turning on us like Archibald
did." "Hmm… that's an interesting challenge. I saw you tell him he
didn't make the team. I don't see how you could have handled it better."
"Yes, and that's what puzzles me. I told him that we may have something
open for him in the future, and to check back with us later." "Perhaps
this is one of those cases where you couldn't have done better, and it was just
inevitable that this would happen." "None the less, when he tried
out, he didn't seem that powerful." "I can't explain it either,
Professor. I don't know what to say." It was a problem of which there
seemed to be no solution. Professor Xavier continued to ponder this deeply…
"What do you mean he got
away?" The loud, angry voice boomed over the interstellar communications
device. "Well, your greatness, we know what planet he is on. We've got
people on the way to that planet now." "What planet is he on?"
"A small little mudball in the constellation Obrikious. It's called Earth
by the locals. It's Obrikious 13-3." The voice replied. The communication
was between two aliens. The former was the commander of this quadrent and the
latter was one of his Lieutennants. "If he isn't back in detention within
the hour, I will have your appendages!" This really made the Lieutennant
nervous. "I assure you, he will be brought back to you – dead if need
be." "No, I want him alive. He is very valuable." "That may
not be possible. That planet is inhabited by sentient creatures." "I
don't care about the local population! Roast them all if you have to! I want Relphell
back now!" The voice shouted. And he wasn't used to being denied. Of
course, to deny his requests would result in death. "We will need the
enforcer." "Take whatever you need. There is an enforcer in the
quadrent. I will send him to you at once. Leader out." The interstellar
communications device then was silenced. "This isn't going to be easy.
Earth is rated Phase IV dangerous." He said aloud. "Don't worry, I'm
sure the local populace will understand us when we explain our situation here.
We need to have him back. The ladder wants it that way." The other man
sighed. "And what the leader wants, the leader gets." With that, the
two of them activated the computer for the optimal route to Earth.
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde,
alias Shadowcat was walking juxtaposed with Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes. They
were holding hands and smiling. "Ralph…" "Kitty…" "You
know, even though we've only known each other a few weeks, I feel like I've
known you all my life." "Same here. I think we were made for each
other." They then arrived at the end of the hallway, and at the room of
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat. "Well, we should go
get ready for dinner. I'll see you then." "I'll be waiting
eagerly." With that, Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes embraced Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde. She returned his embrace and jissed him passionately.
Once again, they felt the intense pleasure and savored the sweet charms of two
people truly in love. After about 47 seconds, they parted, and went into their
respective rooms. Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes then looked upon his things. He
spoke aloud to nobody there. "Well, here we are again. Kitty's got it bad
for me. Then again, I got it bad for her. In all honesty, I probably don't
deserve a woman as beautiful, intelligent and as caring as Kitty is. But she
deserves someone who can be as caring as she is, someone who will cater to her
needs and someone who can help her achieve as a perfect state as she cant. I
really don't see anyone else better qualified for that, now." Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes continued to wax philosophic. "Kitty's been so good to me –
and I hope I can keep her wanting me as much as I want her for a long time.
Sure, she's not perfect, but she's perfect for me." Ralph Walls, alias
Galoshes then thought for a moment. "What can I do next to keep her interest?
Take her somewhere she's never been before? Continue on the same path I've been
going? Could I even do anything? Should I do anything?" He paused for a
moment. "Maybe I'm overthinking this. Love isn't about thinking too much,
it's about feeling and doing. Kitty loves me, and I appreciate that. I never
want to let her go. I want to do everything I can to get her to love me. But I
think the best thing I can do to get her to love me is be myself."
Meanwhile, in the next room, Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat
was talking to her newly won stuffed black cat, which she named Nightshade.
"Ralph got you for me, and I appreciate that." She gave a light
smile. "I can't stop thinking about him. I can't help but imagine him in
my arms when he's not. I can't help but want to taste his sweet lips over and
over. I want him to be with me forever." She gave the cat a cuddle.
"Well, I should be getting ready. Ralph's going to be at dinner tonight,
and I want to impress him." She then thought for a moment. "Of
course, if I really wanted to impress him, I could give him a nice, long,
passionate kiss." Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat then
proceeded to get ready for dinner.
After dinner, the alien known as
Relphahn and the woman known only as Rogue were walking hand in hand down the
aforementioned pathway. "You seem so guarded, Rogue. Why is that?"
"Well, I just don't feel comfortable touching someone else. My mutant
powers are such that if I touch anyone, I absorb their powers and their
memories." "That sounds like a very lonely existance. But I was able
to touch you with no problems." "I know – and it scares me. I don't
know what to do – I don't know if I should be someone who falls in love. I
don't know if I could ever be someone who could be the doting wife."
"I'm not asking you to be something you're not. I'm asking you to be what
you are." "But that's just it – I don't know if I could be a lover or
not." The alien known only as Relphell took the bare hand of the woman
known only as Rogue. "Tell me what you feel when I hold your hand."
"Well, I feel nervous, confused, but at the same time, it feels good to
touch someone, and I feel a sense of trust in you. You seem to want to do
whatever I want to get me to love you." "That's all correct. So why
do you hesitate? This may be your one and only shot at real love."
"It's just too fast for me. I'm a Southern girl at heart, and I like to
take things slowly. I hardly know anything about you." "I am but an
open bok to you. Just ash, and I'll tell all." "It's not that simple.
I want a man I can really relate to, someone that I can have a long-tern
relationship with." "Well, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
Please Rogue, I know you're hesitant, but just give it a chance." Rogue
got very nervous. "Well, I – I just – I –" The woman known only as
Rogue then suddenly put her arms around the alien known as Relphell and kissed
him passionately. At first, the alien known as Relphell was caught off guard;
in his culture, kissing was done only by people who were bonded for life (their
equivelent of being married.) Relphell then decided to return the embrace of
the woman known only as Rouge and return the massive tidal wave (tsunami) of
passion that he was receiving. The woman known as Rogue pulled the alien known
as Relphell close and continued to devour the charms that the alien known as Relphell
was giving her. They had kissed for over four minutes; when they finally parted
lips, the alien known as Relphell couldn't help but smile. "Wow... that
was beyond anything I had ever had before. Are all the women on this planet as
good as you are at that?" Rogue smiled slightly. "Sugar, kissing like
that comes to two people only once if they're luckly. And since we kissed,
we're going to have to be lovers." "I have no problem with that. On
my planet, when a couple kisses, it means you are partners for life."
"I am glad you're with me now. Nobody has ever made me feel this good
after kissing." "I hope this lasts for a long time." "I'm
sure it will." With that, the woman known only as Rogue kissed the alien
known only as Relphell again. And again, and again...
Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph
Walls, alias Galoshes and Elisabeth "Betty" Braddock, alias Psylocke
were lying juxtaposed in bed. "Mmm…that's the best I've ever felt in my
life." "I agree, you're the best." Rolf Farington, the cousin of
Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes then placed a muscular arm around Elisabeth
"Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke. Elisabeth "Betsy"
Braddock, alias Psylocke then returned his arm, and gave him a cuddle. Both of
them couldn't help but smile, being this close to each other and feeling the
warmth of each other as they held each other close. "You know, I wouldn't
have normally done this, but with you, I couldn’t've stopped myself. I feel
like I should do everything I can to make you happy…" "Well, the best
thing that could make me the happiest is you with me for as long as we
live." Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke put her head
on the broad, muscular shoulder of Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes. "I don't have a problem with that. I think we were made
for each other." The two of them continued to rest and feel the warmth of
each other and what they had done. "It's so wonderful to be with you,
Betsy. I can never tire of you." "I can't get enough of you either,
Ralph." So they continued to cling to each other and love…
Ragib "Spaceman" Williams
and Ororo Munroe, alias Storm were walking juxtaposed, and holding hands.
"Don't worry, it's alright that you're a mutant. I don't mind it."
"That is good to know." "I have mutant powers too, actually. I
can create an impenatrable barruer around me. True, it's not very useful in a
battle situation, since I can't move while I've got the barrier up." Ororo
Munroe, alias Storm smiled at him. "Well, just remember, if things do go
wrong, we'll create one big mess." "Hey, I would never do anything to
harm you or make you feel bad." Ragib "Spaceman" Williams was
known for his mach daddy moves. "That is good to know." "Hey,
what man could look in those rich blue eyes of yours, and not want to
smile?" "Ragib…" Ragib "Spaceman" Williams then put an
arm around Ororo Munroe, alias Storm. "I hope you've had fin so far."
Ororo Munroe, alias Storm couldn't help but smile as she put her arm around
Ragib "Spaceman" Williams. "I have to admit I have. I must say I
feel more relaxed around you than I do with anyone else." Ragib
"Spaceman" Williams couldn't help but return the smile of Ororo
Munroe, alias Storm. He got a warm feeling as he did this. They stared deeply
into each other's eyes with the look of love. "Ororo, you've become the
princess of my heart. I hope you don't think I'm too forward when I say I love
you." "Ragib… I … I love you as well." Wtith that, Ragib
"Spaceman" Williams kissed Ororo Munroe, alias Storm. And what a kiss
it was! Both of them received an intense passion, beyond compare to anything
either one of them had before. Ragib "Spaceman" Williams may have
kissed a few woman before, but It was nowear as sweet and as tasty as the
pouting red lips of Ororo Munroe, alias Storm. Lips that Ragib
"Spaceman" Williams was getting a full taste of, lips that begged to
be kissed. Both of them felt the incredible rush of a very passionate and
well-done kiss. Both of them wanted to continue this for a good while, but they
came up for air. After they parted lips, Ororo Munroe, alias Storm let out a
soft moan. "That was incredible." "Agreed. It has been a long
time since I had a kiss that good." Ragib "Spaceman" Williams
couldn't help but smile; after all, if you had a babe as hot as Ororo Munroe,
alias Storm in your arms, wouldn't you smile? They continued to hold each other
close and feel the warmth and love from each other…
"You did WHAT with him!?"
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat was aghast at what she
heard. "I couldn’t stop myself." Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock
said. "I can’t believe you’d sleep with someone after knowing him for only
three weeks!" "He was so wonderful – it felt so loving, caring and
warm in his arms. It just happened. But I have to admit that I really enjoyed
it." "I can’t believe this. Betsy, I thought you British were
supposed to be all conservative and that." "Well, normally I wouldn’t
have done it – but I just abandoned myself to the moment. Surely you’ve been so
consumed with passion that nothing else mattered and you would do anything he
wanted, right?" Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat thought
for a moment. Sure, it felt good in Ralph’s arms, but could she actually make
love to him? Should she? What would he think about this? Should she ask him for
sex? Is it really her place to do so? Could she bring herself to do this?
"Kitty? Are you alright?" "Huh? Oh – yea. I was just
wondering…" Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke smiled.
"You were thinking about making love to Ralph, weren't you?"
"No, of course not!" "Kitty, I am a telepath, remember?"
"Well, I just – I shouldn't think about something like that."
"Kitty, it's alright to think about sex. Everyone does it at one time or
another." "I know, but I just don't know if I'm ready for that with
Ralph or not." "Well, nobody's forcing you to love him, Kitty. Just
allow things to flow at their normal pace. It's your relationship. I just felt
ready for making love. You don't have to do the same." "I know,
Betsy, but think about this: Rolf is going to tell Ralph about how you two made
love, and then Ralph's going to want it from me." "Don't be silly.
He's not going to want to do anything you don't want to do." "Yea,
but now I'm getting curious about making love to him. What if he's bad in bed?
What if he doesn't want to make love to me?" "Just let things flow.
Kitty, you and Ralph were made for each other. He'll be your lover for along
time if you work things out right." "Well, I'll trust you,
Betsy." "Hey, relax. If Ralph really loves you, he'll wait on
that." Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat then left
shaking her head and rolling her eyes.
"I know it's hard to believe,
but it's true!" Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes looked with great disbelief at
Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes. "Yea right. You
know she can read your mind. She's probably on her way here now to tell you to
stop lying to me." Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias
Galoshes then pulled a face. "Ralph, come on! I am telling the truth!
Betsy did sleep with me! She was absolutely breathtaking in bed!"
"Come on, I haven't gotten passt as kiss with Kitty. There's no way you
could have gotten Betsy in bed." "It is true, Ralph. See, Betsy read
my mind and found out everything that I wanted to tell her, and she projected
into my mind everything about her. We know each other intimately, and she felt
comfortable making love to me now." Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes then
walked out of the room. "I'm going to find Betsy and tell her what you
told me. I'm sure she's not going to enjoy this." Ralph Walls, alias
Galoshes then exited the room with Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes behind him. They walked the down the hallway towards the room of
Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke. They found her sitting
next to the doorway. She was in a wooden chair, made of oak in the Louis the
XIV style. It was one of Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock's favorite
chairs, one she had imported from the United Kingdom of England, Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland. "Betsy, have you heard about what Rolf
said?" "Yes, it's all true. He was wonderful in bed." The voice
of Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke had an intense
senuality about it. She also smiled a somewhat mischevious smile as she said
this. Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes proceeded to
come around Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock and place his hands upon her
shoulders. "Well, I certainly appriciate you for doing this. It was one of
the best times of my life." Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias
Psylocke gave a smile and put her left hand upon the left hand of Rolf
Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes. "Rolf…"
"See Ralph? I wouldn't lie to you." "Well, I never thought this
would happen. I suppose we're going to hear wedding bells soon."
"Well, maybe… I haven't decided yet."
The aliens had located the planet
Earth. They were about to enter the solar system that Earth was in.
"Report. Tell me the climate of this planet." "It is about half wild,
half developed by the local sentient species." "Continue."
"The climate varies; the ples are very cold most of the year, there are
tempura zones, desserts, and swamps." "Have you located the
fugitive?" "We are in the process of doing so right now. The
atmosphere's high concentration of Carbon Dioxide has presented problems, along
with its ozone layer." "I don't want excuses! I want results! Fry the
ozone layer if you have to! I want that male found and I want him found now!
The leader is counting on us to bring him back alive!" "And what the
leader wants, the leader gets." Thus the spaceship closed further and
further towards the third planet from this star, a planet they would otherwise
ignore. "The local sentient species is unimportant." "We have a
report that the enforcer has been sent to us. He should arrive here within the
next starday." "Excellent. Once the enforcer is unleased, the local
sentient population will eagerly turn him over to us."
Something was bothering Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat. But she couldn't put her finger on
it. At the moment she was sitting in her room, holding onto her stuffed white
cat that Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes had won for her the day beforehand at the
carnival. "You know, I don't think I appreciate all that Ralph has done
for me. I wish there was a way that I could show him how much I love him."
"You could hold me that close instead of that stuffed cat." Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat gasped as she turned around. "Ralph!
How long have you…" "Relax, Kitty. I just heard that question.
Besides, don’t you think it’s wonderful when we hold each other close?"
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat couldn't find fault with the
argument. She then placed an athletic arm around Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes,
which he returned. "It's so nice to have a man like you." "It's
wonderful to have a woman like you, Kitty. I can never get enough of your
tender charms." Well, they did the inevitable kiss and hug, and then
parted. "We should be getting to bed here. The professor wants us up
bright and early tomorrow for a practice session." With that, Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes bid a good night to Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias
Shadowcat. With that, Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat talked
to her stuffed pets again. "Ah.. I feel like I'm walking on air with
him." But something else bothered her. "What should we do next? What
can I do to make him love me even more? I want to wow his socks off." She
thought for a moment. "Well, if I really wanted to make him drool, I could
appear in front of him naked like Betsy did to Rolf." She then put her
hand on her chin in contemplation. "Nah. I don't feel the time is right
for that." She thought. "But if I was to make love to a man, it would
be Ralph." She let out a slight giggle. "Look at me. I'm like a
little schoolgirl when I'm around him. But he makes me feel so wonderful – so –
good inside. Well, I'd better get to bed." After changing from her daily
attire into a nightgown, she approached her bed. The nightgown was a pea green
color, and sheer but opaque. She then pulled back the covers with her right
hand, pulling the sheets back about 1.95 feet ( m). She then stared at the
sheets for a moment; she then visualized having Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes
there. Seeing his well-sculpted chest bare and exposed for her to feel; how she
wanted to stroke his muscles in a loving manner… but instead, she entered the
sheets and pulled them over her, leaving only her head explosed. Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat then went to sleep.
Late into the night, Ragib
"Spaceman" Williams brought Ororo Munroe, alias Storm back to the
mansion. Both of them thoroughly enjoyed the company of each other. "Alas,
we will have to leave each other tonight. Sleep well, Ororo. I will dream of
the time we can be together again." "I have to admit, this has been a
very good day. I do want o see you again." They stooped in front of the
front door to the X-Mansion. They stood about 2.35 feet ( M) away from the
door, juxtaposed. "I want to see you again as well. However, we have our
duties to attend to." However, they couldn't part that evening without one
goodbye kiss. Ragib "Spaceman" Williams embraced Ororo Munroe, alias
Storm and kissed her. Once again, their hearts filled with passion, their lips
felt passion beyond compare. When they came up for air, they separated, but
only very relcutantly. Ororo Munroe, alias Storm went inside to find Rolf
Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes walking towards her.
"Hello, Ororo. You look very happy right now." "I had a
wonderful time with Ragib." "Uh-oh. Sounds like someone is in
love." Ororo Munroe, alias Storm smiled mischeviously. "And how is
that different from you and Elisabeth?" "Well, it's not. I'm just
glad that everyone seems happy now." "Of course." "Well, I
have to get going. I'm going back to Kansas City. Elisabeth and I won't be
seeing each other for awhile." "That must make you sad."
"Not really. It only makes me anxious for the next time we meet." "I
see." "Well, I have to go. I'll see you alter." With that, Rolf
Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes left the place.
The next morning, Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat woke up thinking pleasant thoughts.
"Well, I should get ready for the day. After all, Ralph we'll be training
with me again." Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat
couldn't help but smile. "You know, ever since I met Ralph, I haven't been
able to stop thinking about him. That must mean it's real." After getting
ready for the morning, which consisted of a shower where she used zest® soap
and water, then changed her clothes into a nice light blue blouse and a pair of
blue jeans with sensible shoes. She then fixed her makeup, takeing awhile to
adjust her eyeliner, her rogue, her eyeshadow, and everything else. As she
finished, Katherine "Kitty" Pryde looked at herself in the mirror.
"I hope this is good enough for Ralph." She thought. "Of course
it is. He's as madly in love with me as I am with him. We have each other in a
place where we can build a nice, long-term relationship." So Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat went outside to find Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes waiting for her. "Ralph…" "Kitty…" The two
of them embraced and kissed. Once again an intense passion and romance flowed
through them. Neither one of them wanted to let the other go, ever. But let go
they did, parting lips and separating. "Let's go have breakfast."
"Alright." So together they went down to the the dining room and sat
down juxtaposed. "So what's on desk for today?" "We've got a
training session after breaksfast, and then we'll see what happens." So
once consuming breakfast, they got ready for the training session. Ralph Walls,
aslias Galoshes changed from his pleasant shirt and lacks into his
aforementioned and aforedescribed uniform. After doing so, he went into the
danger room with the rest of the X-Men top ractice there. "This time I
have something different in mind for you. This will be an interesting
test." With that, the danger room sprang to life, but this time, the floor
fell out of the bottom, sending everyone who couldn't fly right into the water.
The exception to this, of course, was Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias
Shadowcat. Even though she could not fly, her phasing power permits her to walk
on air, and thus she did not fall into the water. However, several other people
were not so fortunate. Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes went headlong into the
water. So did Piotr "Peter" Rasputin, alias Colossus. Scott
"Slim" Summers, alias Cyclops went about 13/19ths of the way into the
water before being pulled out by Jean Grey-Summers, alias Phoenix. "Thank
you, darling." "Don't think anything about it, Scott." Kurt
Wagner, alias Nightcrawler also went into the water. Ororo Munroe, alias Storm,
however, did not. Neither did Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias
Psylocke. Both of them used their powers to stay dry. Then the real test
started: The wind picked up considerably, moving at about 48 miles per hour
( km/hr.) And a large whirlpool formed
in the water at the epicentre of the room. Those in the water were in danger of
being sucked into the epicentre of the vortex. Ororo Munroe, alias Storm
swooped down and picked up Kurt Wagner, alias Nightcrawler. Then Elisabeth
"Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke used her vast telepathic powers to
lift Piotr "Peter" Rasputin, alias Colossus out of the water. Then
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat went over to Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes. She reached out for him with her hand. "Ralph! Take my
hand." Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes managed to grab the hand of Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat. Pulling him up, Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde was able to phase his body as well, and allow him to
hover in midair while holding onto him. "I've always wanted to lose a
little weight." Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat simply
smiled at him. "You're prefect for me just the way you are."
However, at this point things became
nasty. About 8 or 9 metallic birds entered, shooting lasers at the various
members of the X-Men. The birds were composed of battleship steel and measured
about 3 feet ( m) in length and 9 feet ( m) in wingspan. Of course, they were
more than up to the challenge. Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes directed a powerful
acid at the birds, causing them to melt. Scott "Slim" Summers, alias Cyclops
directed his powerful optic blasts at the birds, causing them to explode. Kurt
Wagner, alias Nightcrawler managed to teleport on top of one of the birds, and
steer it into a wall. Kurt Wagner, alias Nightcrawler then teleported out
milliseconds before the bird hit the wall. "That was close." He then
went back next to Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke. This
sort of thing continued on for awhile, and Ororo Munroe, alias Storm blasted
the final airborn bird with lighting, shattering it to pieces. Each bird was
destroyed now, and the water then drained away. Everyone landed on the ground.
"Program completed." A monotone computer voice intoned at about 100
decibels. Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat and Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes let go of each other's hand very reluctantly. "Let's meet
after this and talk some more." "Alright." "Well done, my
X-Men. Warm down and meet in the war room in 30 minutes. I want to go over the
computer analysis of this session with you." During that time, Ralph
Walls, alias Galoshes took a brief shower and changed into a nice shirt and
slacks. Katherine "Kitty" Pryde also took a brief shower and changed
into a pleasant blouse and a miniskirt. After this, the two of them exited out
to see each other leaving their respective rooms at the same time.
"Ralph…" "Kitty…" The two held hands as they walked
juxtaposed down the hallway and down the stairs to the right and into the war
room. Once there, they met the rest of the X-Men. "Well, now that everyone
is here, we can begin. I must say I am most pleased with this session; Ralph is
fitting in here just fine. I hope to add Relphell to the team as soon as an
opening appears. For now, the computer has only one suggestion for you, Ralph:
Just concentrate your blasts more precisely. Otherwise, you're doing
great." "Thank you, Professor. I am glad that your faith in me was
well floundered. I hope I can be with this team for a long time." "I
don't see why not. Well, you should relax for now. Dismissed." With that,
the X-Men went their separate ways for a short time…
The woman known only as Rogue
decided to show the alien known as Relphell the grounds. She described the
pleasant smells of the flowers in the garden. "Professor Xavier likes to
keep a garden, even though he has to have someone else do all the work."
"So I see. Well, the garden is beautiful… but not as beautiful as you
are." The woman only as Rogue blushed slightly. "Aw… that's
sweet." She couldn't help but smile as she said this. Rogue then turned
back to the garden. "These are called roses, variation Beautiful Young
Lady." She gestured to a cluster of roses in a flower bed. The roses were
starting to bloom, and they were just starting to show their splendor. There
were about 9 of them in the bed, all on separate stems that had thorns on them.
The roses, not quite being open, measured about 1.6 inches ( cm) in length and
.9 inches ( cm) in width at the base. The thorns were too numerous to count,
but they averaged about 1/3rd of an inch ( cm) in length. "A
Beautiful Young Lady… interesting. Very apropose. The flower represents the
woman's beauty and splendor; the sweet smell, the tenderness of her charms; the
soft, silky feel of the pedals, like the feel of her skin; the thorns, what can
happen if she is not treated right. Of course, I'll treat you as best I
can." The alien known only as Relphell gave the woman known only as Rogue
a smile. The woman known only as Rogue simply ran her hand across the cheek of
the alien known as Relphell. "Aw… well, as long as we're together, I'll be
sure to be the petal and not the thorn." The alien known only as Relphell
then took the hands of the woman known only as Rogue. "I've always wanted
the love of a great woman. Now I've found it, and I must say, the women back at
home are nowhere near as good as you." "I've had some sweet talkers
in my time, but you can talk as sweet as you want to me, sugar." "You
know, I really like this planet. I want to stay for a long time."
"You can stay with me for as long as you want, sugar." The woman
known only as Rogue put an arm around the alien known as Relphell. "I
never thought I should fall in love with a man – but now that I can, I can see
what I was missing out in life. I've got a lot of making up to do."
"Well, you can make it up with me all you want." The alien known as
Relphell placed his left arm around the woman known only as Rogue. "It's
good to be in love." With that, both of them fully embraced each other and
kissed passionate. Again an intense passion known only to two people truly in
love passed between them. Both of them felt pleasure beyond compare; it was the
best moment that either one experienced before. Neither one of them wanted to
stop this, and they had kissed for 54.3342 seconds; when they parted lips, they
stared deep into each other's eyes with the look of love. "Your kisses are
the best I've ever had." "I haven't had kisses this well
either." "I thought you had never been kissed before."
"Well, I've had several men kiss me, but it wasn't something that lasted
very long. It was pretty bland, in fact. Even Remy couldn't kiss as well as you
can." "Remy?" "Some guy that I could kiss for a little
while. He really left me unsatisfied." The woman known only as Rogue
smiled. "But your kisses are like a slice of heaven." "I have to
agree with that, Rogue. Hmm… Rogue. That name really doesn't suit a woman as
beautiful and intelligent as you. Just what is your real name?" "Real
name? Well, it's just something I don't like to tell anyone else."
"Well, you can tell me. I promise that I won't tell anyone else."
"Well, all right." She then whispered gently into the ear of the
alien known only as Relphell. "Jane Smith? What's so wrong with that? In
my world, calling someone Smith is a title of honor. It means "Person of
great valor and honor." Jane Smith, alias Rogue looked at the alien known
as Relphell incredibly. "Yea, right." "It's true. The title
Smith is earned only after years of brave service above and beyond the call of
duty. You should feel honored that you have that name." Jane Smith, alias
Rogue let go of the alien known as Relphell. "Come on, I really mean it.
Look, even if you don't like your name, I do." Jane Smith, alias Rogue
rolled her eyes at him. "You're just saying that to win favor with
me." "Alright, fine. If you refuse to believe the truth, then I guess
I have to accept that." Rogue then stopped for a moment. She was about to
throw away her only possible opportunity for being happy with love in life.
Then she realized that sometimes, an argument can strengthen a relationship. "We're
both being silly. Let's just call this off right now." "Fine with
me." "I'd like to be alone for a little while." With that, the
alien known as Relphell left Jane Smith, alias Rogue.
The woman known as Elisabeth
"Betsy" Braddock was in her room. She was clad in a purple blouse and
a blue miniskirt which came to about 1.24 inches ( cm) above her knees. She was holding the picture of Rolf
Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes. "Rolf… being without
you is bad." She continued to muse. "I've wanted a man like you all
my life. I can't stop thinking about you. I want to be in your arms all the
time." A tiny smile appeared on her face. "Rolf… what we have has to
be real. I can't see how you could effect me so much without us being in real
love." She then caught herself. "Look at me. I'm like a little
schoolgirl in love for the first time. But I can't stoop myself." She ran
her hand across the picture of Rolf Fariington, the cousin of Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes. She looked over the signature: it read: "Elisabeth: You'll
always be in my heart. Love, Rolf." Rolf. The name of the man she longed
to be with. The one person that she longed to be near. The one man who could
make her life of trouble and pain and anguish and nasty things and fighting and
every other trouble in the universe seem tolerable for a brief while. She
remembered how well she fit into his arms; how well he could hold her close,
tighly but tenderly; she remembered the taste of his sweet kisses; kisses which
filled her heart with a fiery passion and soothed her tormented spirit. She
remembered staring deep into his eyes; eyes with a deep richness and a passion
that made her light up like a house on the 4th of July. Heck, she
thought. "I am in love with him. Maybe I should go introduce him to Brian
and Meggan…." She then stopped for a moment. "You know, I never
thought about a few things. I never thought about life after we were married. I
mean, I'm not too sure I want to have too many kids. Maybe Rolf and I went too
fast. But I really couldn't stop myself." She then thought for a little.
"No, we didn't go too far to fast. That may have been the only time I ever
get to see him. I don't want to live my life without knowing what it would have
been like not to be in bed with him." She smiled at this. "I have to
admit, being in bed with him was wonderful. He really knew how to love me. And
I know one day we'll meet again. Maybe not tomorrow, not next week, but
someday, we will meet again. I know it." She then stood up. "No way
am I going to miss him. I should celebrate what we had together. And what we
will have together in the future." She couldn't help but realize that only
good things could come out of this.
The woman known as Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat was out strolling the grounds of the
X-Mansion. She was attired in a pair of figure-hugging blue jeans, a white
blouse and a pair of tennis shoes. She was wondering when the next time she
could be alone with Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes. He had everything she ever
wanted in a man: strong build, great smile, pretty eyes, and most of all, he
loved her for being herself, and didn't want her to change in the lease. She
felt comfortable around him, and nothing could change that. But she had a job
to do, even if it was mundane. She had to patrol the periminter in case any of
the X-enemies could come back at any seconds. Seems that one has to be
constantly vigilent to be truly one that defends the freedoms and the rights of
mankind in general (And of womankind; we don't want to be sexist here, do we?) It takes a special kind of person to be an
X-Man, and Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat fit the bill. She
walked among the trees, sometimes through them. After all, one could never know
what one could run into while on patrol. Anything could show up, from the best
of friends to the worst of enemies. What did show up with her, however, was no
enemy; in fact, it was her friend Jane Smith, alias Rogue. Jane Smith, alias
Rogue was sitting in a tree, looking sad. She had been crying and her mascara had
ran. Rogue was perched in an Chestnut tree which was about about 40 years old,
and about as high in feet ( m). The branch Rogue was perched on was about 9
feet ( m) off the ground. It was about
11 feet ( m) long. Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat was
worried that her friend was in dis tress. "Rogue, what's wrong?"
"Kitty… I just had a fight with Relphell." "Oh. Want to talk
about it?" "I don't know what to do. I love him, but I really hurt
his feelings." Katherine "Kitty" Pryde thought for a moment.
"Well, you just have to make it up to him. I know it's easy to get into an
argument. But he's just what you need to feel better now. It seems like fate
that so many lovers have come to us, Rogue. So you made a mistake, that's being
human. What's important about a mistake is that you learn from it, and make
sure that you never do it again." Jane Smith, alias Rogue couldn't find
fault with this argument. "I know, but what if he won't take me back? I
think it's best if we just stopped it now." "Don't say that, Rogue.
Not many men can touch you; He's really the only chance you have at finding
real love. Granted, I haven't been with him as much as you have, but I think
that if he really loves you, he'll forgive you. Rogue, nothing shows your
maturity than admitting you're wrong." Jane Smith, alias Rogue smiled
slightly. "You're right, sugar. I should apologize to him." Then Jane
Smith, alias Rogue stood up and flew to the ground. Jane Smith, alias Rogue
then walked back to the mansion. "It'll be interesting to see how those
two progress." Katherine "Kttiy" Pyrde, alias Shadowcat thought.
She then continued to walk along the pathway and admire the springtime beauty
of nature. She had just rounded a turn to the right when she saw Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes there. "There's an old irish proverb. Two people shorten a
road." "Ralph…" "Kitty…" The two of them embraced
briefly. "So you're out on patrol. I think you should take me along so I
can learn a thing or two here." "Well, I really shouldn't… but I
never could say no to you." They each placed an arm around each other and
proceeded to walk juxtaposed down the way. "What usually happens on these
runs?" "Usually, nothing. We just walk around and take in the
sights." They continued to amble along down the pathway. "Well,
having you next to me makes this seem much easier." Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat ran her free hand across the cheek of
Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes. "I feel so lucky that I have you in my life.
It's like you were made for me." "And you were made for me too.
Whenever you're around, I can't help but want to hold you close. Whenever
you're gone, I can't help but want you back in my arms." Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde was flattered by this. "Aw. That's really nice of
you." "Thanks, Kitty. I can't help but be nice around you." The
two of them had an arm around each other as they walked around the track.
"Things couldn't be better when you're near me." However, their
little romantic interlude was interrupted. They noticed a large spaceship that
appeared in the sky. Since it was quite a distance away, it was very small, but
noticeable. "What's that?" "Something I think the Professor
should know about." Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat
pulled out a communications device from her purse. "Pofessor, I've spotted
a large unidentified object coming towards us. It appears to be
extraterrestrial in origin." "I see… well, I'll notify everyone.
Hopefully, this is nothing serious." With that, Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat and Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes
retreated towards the X-Mansion.
Later on, Rolf Farington, the cousin
of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes stood behind Elisabeth "Betsy"
Braddock. She was in her room and busy cleaning it. Rolf Farrington, the cousin
of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes was clad in a nice blue shirt and a pair of
black slacks, and Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke was
attired in a purple blouse and a loose, short skirt which was blue in color.
Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes put his hands over the
pretty blue eyes of Elisabeth :"Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke.
"Guess who?" "Well, with the strong, secure hands, the rich,
deep voice, and that wonderful feeling I'm getting, It has to be Rolf."
Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke turned around and embraced
Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes. Rolf Farington, the
cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes returned the embrace of Elisabeth
"Betsy" Braddock, alias Shadowcat and the two of them held each other
close. "I've missed you so much." "I have as well. I never want
to leave you again, love." The two of them paused in contemplation; never
before had Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes thought he
would have everything he wanted in a woman. He contemplated her rich, purple
hair; hair like silken tresses of purple radience; he smelt her sweet perfume,
a perfume that made her smell wonderful to him, and tickled his noes. He thought about her rich blue eyes, frame
in an Asian style; these were eyes that penetrated his soul and found
everything that he was, and were windows to a world of wonder. Rolf Farington,
the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes thought about her rich, ruby red
lips; lips that beheld a sensuality and a passion that no other woman could equal
for him; these were lips that were designed for kissing, and he was very
grateful that it was he she wanted to kiss. He contemplated her ears; He
noticed that they were perfectly formed, and they actually listened to what his
needs were, and let her process what he really wanted. He smiled upon having a
woman this beautiful in his arms, and having her heart with his. He
contemplated her arms, and how they were formed; she had strong, muscular arms
that were the result of intensive conditioning; these arms were built for
strength, but eager to love. He longed to be in those arms, and now he was in
them. He contemplated her skin; she has soft, smooth skin that was a magnet for
his hands; skin that begged to be caressed, begged to be felt with strong, secure
hands. He thanked his lucky star that he could have a woman this wonderful to
love. For her part, Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke Looked
over the body that was in her arms. She couldn't help but like the broad,
muscular chest of the man in her arms. She couldn't help but see love deep in
the eyes of the man she was holding. She looked at his strong, secure mouth; it
was a mouth she couldn't help but want to kiss. She looked upon his bulging
biceps and triceps; Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes
did work out quite a bit. She smelled his cologne. She loved the smell, it
tickled her nose and made her feel good. Yes, there wasn't much to find fault
with in Rolf Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes. Rolf Farington,
the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshed whispered softly into the ear of
Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke. "I love you
Betsy." This gave a warm feeling all over Elisabeth "Betsy"
Braddock. "I love you as well, Ralph." The two of them held each
other close and felt the warmth of each other; they never wanted to let go of
each other; after all, what they felt came to two people once if ever. But let
go they did, however, they stayed very close to each other, within 2.4 inches ( cm) apart. "I'm glad your here. It's
been very lonely without you." "I've felt alone without you too.
Whenever I see the sparkle in your eyes, I feel like an additional part of me
is there. You make me feel whole, a wholeness I never felt before." Elisabeth
"Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke couldn't help but smile as she went
in for the kiss again. Once again, they felt the intense passion and pleasure
of two people truly in love. As they came up for air, both of them moaned
softly into their ears. Well, it was only natural…
Professor Charles Xavier was fought
with worry. He was sitting in his wheelchair He worried that the spaceship that
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat was there for more sinister
purposes. With him at the time were Jean Grey-Summers, alias Phoenix, and Scott
"Slim" Summers, alias Cyclops. "Professor, I don't know why, but
I do sense you have a point. What if they're looking for that alien we
met?" "He said that he was seeking political asylum. There is an
equal 50-50 probability that they will accept his asylum and leave peacefully,
or they will refuse to accept our sovernity and demand his return, probably by
force." "How can we prepare for that?" "I don't know. But
one thing we should do is be ready. I'm calling the team for this." With
that, Professor Charles Xavier reached out and touched the minds of his fellow
X-Men, using his fast mental powers. "X-Men, come to me at once. We may
have a problem on our hands." Gradually, The X-Men entered one by one, or
in some cases two by two. The first two people to enter were Ralph Walls, alias
Galoshes, and Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat. "We got
the call, we're here for you." "That's good to know. We may need all
the help we can get." The others came in as well. Next were Rolf
Farington, the cousin of Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes and Elisabeth
"Betsy" Braddock, alias Psylocke. Then after that, Jane Smith, alias
Rogue and the alien known as Relphell entered. "It's all right, Rogue. We
all make mistakes." Relphell and Rogue were holding hands. "I'm glad
you've forgiven me." "It's alright, sugar. We'll be great
together." Then the man known only as Logan, alias Wolverine entered.
After him came Pitor "Peter" Rasputin, alias Colossus. Then Kurt
Wagner, alias Nightcrawler entered. "We're all here, Professor. What's
wrong?" "Kitty spotted an alien ship, and I can feel that they are
looking for our friend here." Relphell was nervous. "Professor, I've
finally found a place where I feel I can fit in. I've finally found a lot of
what I've missed in life. I've found… love. I don't want to give that up. Not
now. Not ever." "Nobody's asking you to give up your new life,
Relpan. We will fight for you if it comes to blows. But I thought everyone
should know that they are here, now. We have to be ready for them."
"They can attack any minute." "Wait a minute here. They should
be rational creatures. Can't we reason with them?" "We can try, but
there may not be much alternative." "So what should we do now?"
"For now, relax. But be ready in case anything pops up."
After they broke up, Jane Smith,
alias Rogue and the alien known as Relphell went into her room together. The
two of them held hands as they walked the distance up the stairs and to the
right and down the hallway. "I'm sorry, Relphell. I've never really had a
love relationship with a man before, so this is all new to me. I don't know
what to do at times." Once inside the room, the alien known as Relphell
put his arms around Jane Smith, alias Rogue. "Well, you never can go wrong
with holding me close and kissing me." Jane Smith, alias Rogue returned
his embrace and stared deep into his eyes with the look of love. "I'll
remember that." "Hey, any man couldn't be mad at you for very
long." The two then kissed. Once again, considerable amounts of passion
flowed between them; neither could get enough of each other's kisses. It was
the kind of kiss only two people truly in love could make. Upon parting lips
(which was quite reluctant for both parties involved) the two stared into each
other's eyes deeply, both filled with the look of love. "I love you,
Jane." "I love you too, Ralph. But I have to worry about your people.
If they come here, we could be torn apart." "Don't think that way.
You and I are going to be together for as long as we love each other. And I
know that's going to be as long as we both live." "Mmm… I can't argue
with that." So they continued to kiss each other passionately for a long
time.
Katherine "Kitty" Pryde,
alias Shadowcat and Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes were in his room. Ralph Walls,
alias Galoshes was sitting in a chair made of oak in a Shaker motif. It was
quite comfortable for him. Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat
was sitting in his lap. He really enjoyed having her sit in his lap, and she
enjoyed being there. They had their arms around each other and were kissing
passionately. When they came up for air, Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes stared
deeply into the rich, deep brown eyes of Katherine "Kitty" Pryde,
alias Shadowcat. "You know, with my cousin having made love to Elisabeth,
it really got me curious as to what it would be like to make love to you. I
hope I'm not rushing you to fast into this, but I really would like to make
love to you." "Ralph…" "Kitty…" "I… just don't
know. Everything with you is so wonderful, but I don't know if I'm ready to
make that bold a step yet. I've only known you for about a month now."
"That's true. I really want to make love to you, but I realize that a
relationship should be taken at a pace that should be comfortable with both
people." "Well, I can't argue with that." Katherine
"Kitty" Pryde, alias Shadowcat put her head on the shoulder of Ralph
Walls, alias Galoshes. "I do love you, Ralph, but I just need something to
really convince me that it's worth doing." Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes
then picked up a prophelatic. Katherine "Kitty" Pryde, alias
Shadowcat then smiled a mischevous smile at Ralph Walls, alias Galoshes.
"Come here, Ralph. I'm about to make you very lucky indeed." Ralph
Walls, alias Galoshes didn't need to be told a second time….
