"MMMmm...That smells wonderful Pete!" Kitty said as she walked into the kitchen. "Just about ready to be served?" she asked him looking at the time and guessing he'd been at it for many hours already. He always did enjoy the family aspect of the school and that was one huge reason why she would always love him.... even if sometimes they would not see eye to eye, try as they might.
"I'll give you a hand - better late than never, right?" Kitty kissed Colossus on the cheek as she lifted a lid on a pot on the stove, looking to see what he had gone to all the trouble to make. "Maybe one or two of the new kids will be along, but I'm sure most of the older kids and staff are around too. This holday is an odd one. It feels like everythings all brand new and we're just starting out- don't you think?" she asked him pondering aloud a nagging feeling she'd had for a couple of weeks now.

Heather walked into the kitchen with Kitty. Smelling the delicious cooking, she couldn't help but begin to drool. Seeing Colossus, Heather smiled. "Hey Colossus, we keep bumping into each other don't we? It smells great in here." She looked to Kitty as she kissed him. She could only assume they were together.
"Do you need any help with some stuff?" she asked timidly.

"Wow!" Emma said as she came into the kitchen. Her gown flowing out behind her as she seemed to float into the room. "It is amazing! The aroma has me reliving my childhood and wanting to hug the lot of you, and that is certainly an uncommon occurance." She raised an eyebrow as she looked around at the three of them.
"It's a great burden off of me to know we all care enough to pick up the slack and start in without someone telling us to....Colossus....thank you ever so much." She looked at him warmly. I'll let everyon know dinner will be served shortly. "Kitty, Aqua... thank you for lending a hand!" The headmistress said and she walked out of the kitchen.

He smiled wide as a couple of other came in. There were all kind of scents floating in the kitchen. " Da, it is all ready to be plated and served Kitty, Thank you for the help. " He blushed slightly as the kiss and winked. He bagen pullin gout of the over all kinds of dishes. Candied sweet potatos, string bean cassarole, fresh baked biscuits. Then off the stove he place a variety of vegatables in bowls and a huge bowl of mashed potatos. Sweet white and yellow corn. Thick creamy gravy. And so much more.
Finally he looked to heather. "Da it seems we do, Could you get a couple of pot holders?" As he opened the next stove and pulled out the glistening turkey and offered it to Heather, "You want to take this out and get it ready to be sliced up?"
He smiled seeing Emma and nodded to her as he worked the kitchen. "Its my pleasure Emma. I just hope everyone enjoys. It is a new beginning for us all. So we might as well make it a great one."

Heather smiled as the Headmistress walked in. "Hello Ms. Frost." She looked to Colossus as he spoke to her and Kitty. Then, after he answered her question, walked to get some pot holders. She didn't however know where they were.
"Umm," she giggled nervously. "Where are they exactly?" She was embarassed that she didn't ask him before and blushed slightly.

Laughing and shaking his head as he looked ot Heather. "No , they are for you. " he winked as his body changed into the gleaming metal skin. Lifting the hot turkey pan with no problem. The heat nothing to his metallic skin. "Grab the next one and we will set it out and begin eating."

Heather watched in awe as Colossus took the burning pot in his hands. Duh, she thought. He is made out of metal.
Laughing at herself, she placed the pot holders on her hands and took the next turkey. She struggled with lifting it up, it was huge. "Umm, not to be a bother but, I could use a little help here." She winced as she attempted to hold up the large bird.

Holding the first large pan with oe hand, he reached over and took the other turkey pan in his other hand "There you go, ready to eat?" He smiled and winked to the girl as he carried the pot out to the large table and set them both down carefully. "Now if Wolverine was here, we could get him to cut these turkeys." Laughign softly.

She smiled not knowing whom he was talking about. "Wolverine?" She felt really dumb, but better to ask questions than assume and admit she was a fool.

He chuckled a bit and took his seat. Looking to all the food he was quite impressed with his own cooking today. "Wolverine is an original member of the X-men. He had long ravor sharp claws that popped out of his wrist. Used to joke with him about being a can opener and such in the kitchen." He picked up a large knife and fork and began slicing pieces of the turkey off.

She nodded. "Oh, ok." She hoped to meet this "Wolverine." She watched as he cut the pieces of turkey. "Well, need help with anything else?" she asked with a wince.

Shaking his head he smiled and looked to her. "No, do not need anythign else but your plate. How much turkey would you like?" Holding out the large fork with a big slice of the white juicey meat.
