We first see a house and it is nighttime during a thunderstorm. Inside the house Kitty is
sleeping. Her dream opens with her flying over a town. Then she starts to fall. When she
wakes up she is no longer in her bedroom but in the basement below her. She is terrified.
She starts to cry and her parents make their way down.
Dad: What happened? Were you sleepwalking?
Kitty: No! I fell I just I fell through the ceiling.

Back at the Pryde's basement
Mom: I'm sure you were just having a nightmare.

¤¤¤¤¤ Bayville High. Some kids are making their way into the school. Kurt is rushing
the school while eating a burger.
Kurt: Ack! Late again.
Kurt looks around and then 'ports to only a few feet away from the door to the school.
Then he rams against Ms. Darkholme.
Kurt: Ack! Miss Darkholme!
She takes his arm to look at his watch.
Ms. Darkholme: Hmm, watch isn't slow. Must be you! Another tardy Mr. Wagner, and
I'm enrolling you in my after-school group.
The door to the school opens and Scott comes out.
Scott grabs Kurt and brings him into the school
Scott: Hey, light a fire under it kid. Your teacher sent me to look for you. Miss
Darkholme. Stopped off for another breakfast burger gut bomb, didn't you?
Kurt: What can I say? It's an addiction.
The two enter the school and Ms. Darkholme has a very mad look on her face.

Afternoon at Kitty's house. She is walking out the front door, trying not to have her
parents notice her, but her mother walks in on her escape.
Mom: Dear, I... thought we agreed that we you were staying home today?
Kitty: Yeah, well like what's the point you know? You guys don't want to talk about it,
and I'll, like, totally go crazy just sitting around here.
Mom: But should you really be at school?
Dad off camera: Kitty! Honey, where are you?
Kitty: Please, mom. Dad will make me stay.
Mom thinks about it for a minute
Mom: All right, go on.
Kitty blows a kiss and waves goodbye, heading off for school
¤¤¤¤¤
The Blackbird is flying right now. Xavier and Jean are inside of it
Jean: Why just me? Why not all of us?
Xavier: Because, you're the one who can connect with this girl.
Jean: I hope so. But how are we handling the other kid Cerebro spied out? The one in the
foster home?
Xavier: Yes, Lance Alverce. Let me worry about that. I'd like you to just keep your focus
on Kitty's parents. Remember, you're a model of what we're offering them. No pressure.
Jean laughs
Jean: And to think, I passed up a nice relaxing midterm for this.
¤¤¤¤¤
Kitty's house on the porch. Both parents are outside and Jean and Xavier are trying to
reason with them
Mom: What are you talking about? How do you know Kitty?
Jean: Please, may we come in for a moment? We'll answer all your questions and
anything you need...
Dad: Excuse me Miss, you can talk to us. Out here.
Xavier: Very well, I think you know Kitty is going through a very unique transition. We
simply want to help her through it. Why don't you tell us about last night?
Both parents are in shock that he knows about last night.
Dad: Last night is none of you're business. Please, just leave us alone.
They go inside leaving the two outside
Jean: Huh, next time, let's just call and get hung up on, less hassle.
Xavier: You'll need to make contact with Kitty directly. At her school.

Kitty's school. Everyone is out in the hall, Kitty is getting her things. Then, two girls
(Amy and Riley) are watching her.
Amy: Riley, Check the Kitty-Pity-Party.
Riley: Dreading PE no doubt. Probably the only class she's not acing.
Amy: Let's, uh, give her some time off, hmm?
They come up behind her and shove Kitty into her locker
Kitty: Ahh!
Amy while closing the locker: World closin' in on ya, Kitty?
They head off to class laughing
Kitty is banging on the door trying to get someone’s attention
Kitty: Hey! Let me out you jerks! Uuh! Open the door! Somebody open this door!
Kitty is making a lot of noise without any luck. Lance comes out of the bathroom
spraying the lockers with red spray paint while whistling
Kitty hears the spray can
Kitty: Hey! Who's out there? Can you hear me? Let me out!
Kitty phases out of her locker making Lance spray himself in the face
Lance: Hey, You see what you just did?
Kitty is nervous about what she just did
Kitty: What I...uh... I like just fell out
Lance: Yeah man, right through the door. That is so cool!
Kitty: You're crazy.
Kitty tries to walk away but Lance grabs her by the arm
Lance: No, no. Wait a minute. I'm the one guy around here who gets the beauty of it.
Cause you're just like me. Really. All right then, check this.
Lance has his hands out causing a little earthquake opening all the lockers
Lance: Gettin' the picture?
Kitty: No, you're just like some freak! Leave me alone!
Kitty runs off
Lance: You can run but you can't hide. Cause I'm gonna rock your world.
¤¤¤¤¤
Outside the school. The coach, Riley, and Amy are there. Riley and Amy are doing
stretches
Riley: Hey Amy, check who got out.
Coach blows whistle: Pryde, you're late.
Kitty: Sorry, Coach. I was like um, having trouble with my locker.
She looks over to Riley and Amy
Coach: All right, you three over to the long jump. Pryde, you're tardy, so you're first.
¤¤¤¤¤
The roof of the school. three guys hop from a tree to the roof. Lance is one of them
Griff: Shut up with the clodding around.
Other Guy: Stow it Griff. Can we bust in through here or not? (Pointing to a door to the
school
Griff: Not. It's wired in through the alarm system.
Other Guy: Now what, Alverce? We got no way into this stinkin' office and midterms
start in the morning.
Griff: Yeah, and exam answers ain't exactly gonna fetch a prime price after the test. Can't
you just... you know make a door?
Lance: Sure, and have them know we were in? They'll change the tests! I got a sweeter
idea.
points to Kitty
Lance: Her
Griff: What? What are you gonna have her long jump through the wall? Come on, get
serious.
Lance is pissed and grabs Griff's arm while making the ground shake
Lance: You riding me, Griff? Huh? Are ya?
Griff: Sorry man, I was just...
Other Guy: Woah, woah. It's cool Lance...
Lance: You two losers just line up the customers. I'll snatch the answers.
The Long Jump pit. Kitty tries to make a jump but trips and lands head first into the sand
Amy with her hands out like claws: Reow... Kittykat's got a temper.
Riley: Take notes, Pryde. This is how athletes do it.
Riley starts to jump. Lance makes an earthquake just in the sand pit and covers Riley in
sand.
Kitty: Huh?
Kitty sees Lance waving from the roof of the school. She starts to run away, bumping into
Jean, then runs off again
¤¤¤¤¤
In the school at the drama stage.
Kitty is very frustrated about today. She kicks a chair, that bumps the table, making a
bowl go flying. Kitty tries to grab the bowl but it phases through her hands landing on the
floor. Kitty looks at it then sees if she can do it again. Then there is a voice from back of
the room.
Its Jean who is making her way to the stage
Jean: Kitty? Kitty, are you all right?
Kitty: That Rah-Rah Riley a friend of yours? Cause, you know like I had nothing to do
with what happened out there on the sand pit.
Jean: I know, and I'm not Riley's friend.
Kitty covers her face with a mask
Kitty: You look like you'd be her friend.
Jean: Kitty, look, there's no need for masks. I know what's going on.
Kitty takes off the mask and is frustrated/annoyed
Kitty: You, like, don't know anything! Neither does that creepy guy out there!
Jean: Who? Lance? Forget about him. This is about you. You and your wonderful new
gift.
Kitty has calmed down by now
Kitty: I don't have any gifts, just a curse.
Jean: Only if you let it be. I'd like to help you understand it. Together we...
Kitty: Look, I don't want any of this. It's like hard enough being normal, you know?
Jean: Kitty, look, I just want you to watch me for a second. Please?
Jean raises the mask out of Kitty's hand putting it back on the wall, all using her mind
Kitty: Who... How'd you do that?
Jean: The same way you can pass through walls. Just like you, one morning I woke up
and had this power. And trust me, I hated it too.
Kitty: I... I don't believe you. This is a trick!
Jean: No. No, you do believe me. I know because of my other ability. I can read your
thoughts.
Kitty: No! Stay out of my head! No!
Kitty runs out of the room
Jean: Kitty, wait!
Jean starts to go after her but a hand grabs her shoulder, forcing her to turn around
Lance: Piece of advice, Red: I'm the only friend that girl's gonna need, and I'll be teaching
her what's what so you just back yourself off.
Lance pushes by Jean leaving the room
¤¤¤¤¤
Kitty's locker. She hears a noise and turns around with her fists in the air
Lance: Easy. I won't shake things up, I promise. I, uh... my name's Lance. We should
really talk.
Kitty: Why can't everyone just, like, leave me alone?
Lance: You feel sick inside every time you think about it, don't you? You want it to go
away. But it won't. You're afraid of what might happen. Your parents are clueless,
probably ashamed. Being alone don't help.
Kitty: What, are you, like, reading my mind, too?
Lance: No way! It's just that I've been going through it myself. You know, trying to figure
it out. But I've learned how to control it.
Kitty walks away
Lance yelling to Kitty: Meet me outside the office in an hour. I'll show you how.
¤¤¤¤¤
Xavier and Jean are talking to each other on cell phones. Jean is sitting down outside
while the professor is leaving a building.
Xavier on phone: Sounds like Lance could be trouble. If he bonds with Kitty, we may not
be able to reach her.
Jean on phone: I agree, and he is reaching her.
Xavier: You have to stay with it Jean. I don't want to lose her. Remember, whatever
obstacles get in the way, they can be overcome. Xavier out.
he turns off phone.
Xavier talking to himself: Although, some obstacles can be more irritating than others.
Xavier is facing tons of stairs and no way down in a wheelchair
¤¤¤¤¤
Scott and Kurt stop in the city looking to see where Logan went
Kurt while hitting the door: Ack, I've lost him.
Hey, hey.! Watch the door panel, their smudge resistant not dent resistant.
Kurt: There
Kurt points to the top of a parking garage where Logan is looking down at everything
¤¤¤¤¤
The roof of the parking garage
Sabertooth crashes onto the roof while riding his motorcycle
Sabertooth: Unfinished business, runt.
Logan while unleashing claws: Bring in on, pops. Bring it on.
Sabertooth speeds up to Logan, where Logan slashes part of the motorcycle, making part
of it come off. Sabertooth gets off just in time while the bike goes flying off the building.
The bike is heading straight for the car Scott and Kurt are in. Kurt 'ports them out of the
car a second before the bike goes crashing. Totally ruining the car.
Scott: Oh, man, my car!
Sabertooth isn’t on the roof but beneath it. He starts to shove cars through the roof
making Logan fall to the next floor.
Logan is sort of dizzy from the fall. Sabertooth uses this as an advantage and starts to
push a car against Logan.
Sabertooth: One shall fall by the other's hand. Our destiny... we can't change it.
Logan: I didn't know you went for that philosophy mumbojumb.
Scott: Hey hairball! I got your destiny right here.
Scott shoots Sabertooth with an eye beam. Sabertooth is pushed back a little.
Kurt 'ports to Sabertooth trying to push him down but instead Kurt bounces off his chest
falling down
Kurt: Typical.
Sabertooth is about to do something to Kurt when Logan knocks him into an elevator.
Sabertooth in the elevator which is going down: A taste of things to come, Wolverine.
Logan cuts threw the door but it is too late.
Kurt: Ha! We showed him. We are the X-Men!
Logan: I don't fight your battles, so don't fight mine.
Logan walks off very annoyed
Kurt: Ahh, he loves us.
Scott: Oh, yeah, big time.
¤¤¤¤¤
Outside the office. Lance is waiting for Kitty, and about a second later, she meets up with
him
Kitty: How do you take control?
Lance: By admitting something no one wants to cope to that we are outsides. That there
is something wrong with us. Hey, don't fret it, embrace it. The way I see it, fate dealt us
winning cards, if we play em together.
Kitty: Oh, nothing's making any sense.
Lance: That's why I'm here, to light your path. And the first step leads us right into that
office.
Lance points to the office. Kitty phases through unlocking the door so Lance can get in
Kitty: Did you see me? Did you?
Lance: Yeah, wow Kitty, how did it feel?
Kitty while hugging him: It was like totally unbelievable.
Lance: You're making it yours Kitty, once you own it, nothing can own you.
¤¤¤¤¤
Outside of the school, Kitty's parents, the professor, and Jean (in her uniform) are there
Dad: Where is she?
Jean: She broke into the office.
Mom: She...She's never done anything like this before.
Professor: Go with them Jean, I'll catch up.
Lance is making a copy of the test answers while Kitty is there
Lance: Test answers present and accounted for.
Kitty: That's what this is about? Cheating?
Lance: Hey, this crummy school uses these kind of tests to keep us down, Kitty. No more.
We take control.
Now, let's modify some grades. Pryde P-R-
Kitty: No!
Lance: Look, there's no victim here, we're just evening the score.
Kitty: This doesn't feel right. I've changed my mind. I wanna go.
Lance: Woah, Woah. What are you doing? Come on, Kitty.
Then, Jean, and Kitty's parents are in the office
Dad: Let go of my daughter!
Lance: Far enough, old man.
Lance makes a little earthquake causing stuff in the office to fall, including a bookcase
on Kitty's dad
Kitty: No, stop!
Lance grabs her by the arm and tries to head off
Lance: They're just gonna confuse you Kitty. We're outta here.
Mom: Kitty, please. We can work this out.
Kitty: Let go of me.
Lance makes breaks the room. Jean uses her mind to keep the stuff from falling on them
Lance: We're in control now. We make our own way.
Jean uses her mind to lift the bookcase off of Kitty's dad.
Dad: Kitty, I pushed you to this, I know. I wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong. I'm
not perfect. I'm learning, just like you are...
Kitty: Daddy?
Lance: Forget them, come on. I'm bringing this place down.
Jean: You called your gift a curse. If you go with him, I guarantee you it will be.
Mom: Kitty, listen to her!
Dad: Sweetheart, we love you!
Lance: They're too late, you're with me now.
Kitty phases through his hand and runs off to her parents
Kitty: No, I'm not
Lance is very annoyed. He storms off in anger while the whole school collapses. Kitty
gets covered in bricks while Jean uses her mind to keep the whole school from falling on
them.
Professor to Jean: Jean, your powers, use your powers.
Jean: I'm trying, it's too much.
Professor: I'll assist. Keep your mind clear.
Jean: But Kitty...
Professor: Keep your mind clear.
Mom while looking where Kitty was last: No, Kitty...
Dad: My little girl...
Kitty phases through the rubble
Kitty: Woah
Mom: Kitty? Kitty...
Kitty: Okay like everybody grab onto me. I'll get us out.
¤¤¤¤¤
Outside the building. Professor is waiting for them. The four phase through all the stuff
Professor: Yes Kitty, it is a gift. And you've used it well.
Kitty: Mom, I'm so sorry. And Daddy, these people... they like wanna help me. I trust
them.
Dad: I know sweetie, and so do I. Professor. I think we have some things to talk about.
Professor: Yes, we do.
¤¤¤¤¤
Later on at the school, there are fire and rescue trucks. Lance is on a hill looking at the
whole wreck. He starts to walk off when someone stops him. It is Ms Darkholme.
Ms. Darkholme: I'd say you've blown your chances at this school, haven't you?
Lance: And you are...
Ms. Darkholme: Your new advisor. I've made an opening for you at Bayville High. I have
much to teach you...
Ms Darkholme changes into Mystique
Mystique: My young Avalanche.
