REJUVIE - Chapter One
by Black Cat

X-Men:Rejuvie
Disclaimers:I thought i'd do a crossover with the
rejuvie universe.  This puts a name on that strange
alien race called the Sh'iar.  This is inspired by
both
Lurking Dragons rejuvie stories and Dswdiane's
stories.  This is an alternative universe using my
characters and Jamie's. Just a side note- Arina has
been legally adopted by Logan, Melissa has been
legally adopted by Scott and Jean (her real mother
is Mystique). Charlotte is Jean and Scott's child,
Christopher and Keri are their twin children.  I do
not own or make profit off of the X-men.  This is beta
read by Jamie Firefly.

    L'landra and Crosis came to Earth to pay a
special visit to the X-Men.  After previous visits;
which included many tales of the horrible childhood
in which most of the x-men had lived through, they
brought a machine with them that possesses the
ability to turn people back into children. Therefore
changing their physical size, attributes, mentality,
and sociological abilities.  After landing on Earth,
and having shared in a very warm welcoming, they
headed towards the professor's office followed by
all of the present mansion inhabitants.

    "Well after discussing some things, we have
brought a machine that can turn back the clock so to
speak.  This would be a great opportunity for some
of you to relive your childhood completely.  The
maximum age you can be 'rejuvied' to is 12.  The
youngest is 3.  As with anything in between, as long
it is at LEAST a 3 year jump," L'landra  explained.

    Melissa and Remy seemed especially
interested.  Crosis continued from where L'landra
left off.

    "This rejuvination proscess also includes
injecting a drug which would help to put one's mind
into a more childlike state.  Anything you have
learned up to this point, you will need to learn again
with the exception of a few physical things."

    Melissa stood up, "I'm definately interested."
Earning a glare from behind Scott's ruby-quartz
glasses.  "I-if you and mom ok it, and if you are
willing to raise me over again but from a younger
age this time.  I mean you have said you wish you
had known me when I was a young child."  Scott
nods his head and looks at Jean who returns his nod
with a smile.

    L'landra steps forward at this exchange,  "I
think you should think about all that this requires
and the age you wish to rejuvinate back to." Melissa
nods in understanding.

    Melissa nodded, and she, Scott, Jean,
Crosiar, Christopher, Charlotte and Keri head to
their house (the boat house).

    Meanwhile Remy looks at his mother
expectantly.

    "Remy I know you want to," she stated
knowing of his wishes, "but the problem is who will
raise you?  Your father couldn't the first time
around, he's a very busy man, do you think he can
again?"

    Remy shook his head in response.  He
looked at Charles knowing the truth, and is about to
accept it (albeit with disappointment) when Logan
puts a hand on his shoulder.

    "Kidlet I think 'Ro and I would be honored
to raise you.  With your dad's help of course."
Remy smiled and gave Logan a hug which Logan
happily returns.

    "Thanks mon ami."

    "You, me, 'Ro and your dad should go talk
about this." Logan added seriously.  Remy nodded
ina greement and looked at his dad.  Charles was
somewhat surprised but also happy at this new
outcome.

    It was a that time that Arina stood up and
looked straight at Logan.

    "I wanna do it too," she said calmly after
listening to everyone else. Logan eyed her carefully,
"You realize you would have to treat Storm like a
mother right?"  Arina nodded her head in
understanding.

    Once that was settled, everyone else left the
room leaving the five to sit and discuss it.

"I wanna go back to four.  B'fore de incident.  I
wanna have a happy childhood." Remy reflected,
All three adults nod in sympathy and agreement,
then Logan looks at Remy sternly.

    "I will be strict with you kidlet and I WILL
spank you if you're naughty."  Remy nodded his
understanding, he hated disappointing anyone.

    "I understand L'gan."  With that it was
agreed upon that Remy will rejuvinate to the age of
three, and Logan and Ororo will raise him.

    Then Logan turned to Arina.  "You too
Arina.  I will be VERY strict with you.  This
arrangement also means that 'Ro will become your
mother and  Remy will be your brother.  Plus you
will have to learn to deal with Jubilee because she
will probably babysit you at times."  Arina thought
for a minute then nodded and looked up into
Logan's eyes.

    "I wanna be 6.  Then _I_ can be the older
sibling."

~~~~~~~~

    Meanwhile out in the boat house Crosiar
took Charolette and Christopher up to his room so
that Scott, Jean, and Melissa could talk.

    "How old do you want to go to?"  Melissa
thinks about and sighs.  "6 if that's all right?"
Scott
sighed and looked at the girl.  She had grown up so
much in the last three years.

    "That will make you three years older than
Charolette and four years older than Christopher
and Keri.  Do you really want to do this?" Jean
asked a bit concerned.

    Melissa nodded although sniffling a bit.
Scott gathered the girl into his arms.  "You should
talk to Mystique though," he told her.  Melissa
looked up and nodded.  Scott kissed her forehead
and sent her to the phone with a light swat.

    "Daddy!" She complained as she went by
him, sticking her tongue out at him.

    "Melissa one warning. You will be raised
with LOTS of rules."  Melissa groaned and called
Mystique.  After a few minutes she hollered to
Scott.

    "Dad Raven wants to talk to ya."  Scott
scowled thinking  'She's acting more and more like
Jubilee every day.'

    "Melissa get your butt to your room, you're
grounded remember."

    Melissa scowled back at him.  "But dad
tomorrow i'll be a little kid again, can't I have just
ONE night of freedom?"

    Scott looked down at her. "Your butt must
not be hurting to much if you're already sassin me."
Melissa gulped and scuffs her shoes.

    "No sir I still can't sit comfortable since last
time."  Scott nodded in understanding and pointed
up the stairs.

    Melissa went up them and collapsed on her
bed crying lightly.  Scott came up after talking with
Raven.  He was worried when he heard her crying.
He walked in and gathered her into a hug.

    "Shh what's wrong?"

    Melissa took a couple of shuddering breaths.
"I-i know I was n-naughty and deserved to be
punished.  B-but  I just realized that once I go
through the machine i'll have NO rights for at least
another five or six years.  Not to mention mom and
I need to go shopping."   Scott nodded knowing the
truth.  He stood her up and put his hands on her
shoulders.

    "Yes you, your mom, Logan, Remy, Arina,
and Storm need to go shopping for clothes and other
essentials.  That will be taken care of tommorow."
Melissa looked up shocked.

    Scott gently wiped away a tear running
down her face.  "I know it's going to be hard at first
but you will make it.  Our love will help you."
Melissa nodded and hugged him.

    "I love you too daddy."  Scott hugged her
back and proceeded to help her get ready for bed.
She HATED the early bedtime that was part of
being grounded.

    "You know I really HATE this early
bedtime.  But I know it will be MUCH earlier once
i'm six again."

    Scott helped her into bed and chuckled
lightly.  "Oh yeah. Night princess.  I love you."
Melissa fell asleep with her mystique doll curled up
in her arms.

~~~~~~~~~

    The next day Melissa, Jean, Storm, Logan,
Arina and Remy headed to the mall.  They bought
furniture more suited for a four-year-old and
six-year-old child.

    It went fairly well until Melissa and Arina
took a fit when most of the clothes for them were
dresses.

    "But mom I want PANTS.  I hate dresses."
Melissa whined.  Jean swatted her.

    "You will have SOME but your mainly
going to wear dresses." She stated before turning to
Logan.  "We need to get the components for their
school uniforms."  Storm nodded and looked at the
two sulking girls.

    "I should have taken Rem and let Logan take
Arina around with you and Melissa." She laughed
lightly and ruffled Arina's hair. To be truthful,
Arina
had been scared that Storm would be like an evil
step-mother but she was really sweet and cared
about Arina very much.

    "It's ok darling,  you'll enjoy it.  Well except
when your naughty of course."  Arina blushed and
looked at her shoes in embarassment.  She knew
very well that Logan or Storm would spank her
soundly if she was naughty.

    "I'll behave the best I can mom." Arina's
eyes swept up to look at Storm pleadingly.  She had
hoped that she could call her mom. Storm returned
the look and gathered her into a hug.

    "May as well get used to it. It's ok to call me
mom Arina.  Actually I like the sound of that."
Arina lets out a sigh of relief and the four finish
their shopping quickly.

    Logan grumbled throughout the entire drive
home.  "You know how much work it's gonna be to
take down three beds and put up three beds,  plus
rearranging three rooms on top of that?"  Melissa
and Arina giggled in the back seat.

    "Girls."  He said in a warning tone.  Melissa
and Arina squirm in there seats not wanting to anger
Logan at all, especially considering the mood he
was in every time he spent the day at the mall.

    "Melissa, Arina, Remy.  All three of you are
to pack up the things in your rooms inappropriate
for the age that you're going to be.One of us adults
will double check your rooms.  If you want to you
can either give the stuff to the other kids, put it in
storage or give it away."  All three nodded their
understanding.

    When they arrived back at the house they
headed to their rooms right away to pack the stuff
up.  Melissa put everything but her computer
and four dolls away in boxes.  She also kept
pictures of herself over the last three years.

    When Scott came in to check on her he
found her curled up in the window looking out over
the lake.  He walked over and gently put a hand on
her shoulder.

    "You ok princess?"  Melissa looked up and
nodded.

    "I was just reminicin'.  Looking through
pictures taken through the last three years.  This
was a much better life.  I know going back to being
a child will be difficult but it will do me some good.
But I'll miss the things I get to do now.  Like
playing the trombone, taking karate, playing magic,
and being an x-men."  Scott sat down and gathered
her into his lap.  "You'll be able to do most of those
things eventually.  I think Logan plans on working
with all three of you in regards to karate.  Magic I
think you can play almost immediately.  And as far
as the trombone and being an x-men.... when you
get a little older again."  Melissa smiled up at him.

    "Now even though you are still grounded,"
Melissa scowled at him.  "you, Remy, Arina,
Rogue, and the adults are going out tonight."
Melissa looked up surprised.

    "Your're going to be a child tommorow.  Not
many more rights or privileges after that.
Remember?"  Melissa nodded and curled up in his
lap.

    "I'll miss being almost an adult."  Scott
smiled and ruffled her hair.

    "We'll miss the almost adult you too."
Melissa stood up and grabbed an outfit for the night
out of a box.

    "This was supposed to be my prom dress.
I'm giving it to Jen."  Scott looked at the teenager
in
front of him.

    "You do know we love and are VERY proud
of you."  Melissa turned back and nodded. "We only
agreed to this because we also felt this could do you
some good.  We love you very much."  He gathered
her back into his arms as the tears started to flow.

    "I-I love you too daddy."  Scott gently kisses
the top of her head and left the room so that she
could get changed.  He knew that they were going
to a fancy restaraunt so that Remy could drink one
more time.

    When Remy, Melissa, Charolette, Arina,
and Christopher were old enough to join the team
Scott knew that there were others that would be
ready to take the rejuvination.  Rogue was one, and
Jen was seriously thinking about it also.

    For Rogue they were going to work on a
way to possibly tone down her powers while she
was rejuvied.  While Scott was lost in thought
Melissa came out of her room.  "Daddy?"  She asks
concerned.

    Scott turned and his face beamed with pride
at how his daughter looked.  "Oh Melissa you look
beautiful."

    Melissa blushed and nervously played with
the belt on the dress.

    "Thanks daddy.  So um who's paying for
tonight?"   She asked worriedly.  Knowing that she
doesn't get any allowance when she's grounded.

    "Don't worry the professor is.  He wants you
three to enjoy your last night."  Melissa looked up
and nodded.

    "I'd assume we're leaving shortly?"  Scott
looked at his watch.  "Yes in ten minutes.  Behave
tonight.  Because I will spank you tonight if I have
to."  Melissa blushed and nodded.  "Yessir."

    The five of them leave and enjoy the night
out.  At one point Remy decides to buy some beer
and lets Melissa and Arina try it.  Unfortunately for
them Logan and Kurt catches them.  "Remy you are
in serious trouble for buying that for them.  Melissa
and Arina you are in serious trouble for drinking
under age.  Lets go.  Rogue are you sober?"  Logan
asked.

    "Yes Wolvie."  He glared at the three
miscrients.  "Back seat of the jeap.  NOW!"  He
bellows and the three scramble to get in.

    The ride home was a silent one.  Melissa
kept looking at Kurt expecially.

    "K-kurt I know your angry and disappointed
in me.  I-I'm sorry big brother."  Kurt looked back at
her and his face softened.

    "I'm disappointed yes.  In a way I can
understand.  I think they planned on letting you and
Arina have a cocktail later."  Both girls look at him
shocked.  "But now all your going to get is a
blistered bottom.  Fortunately for you the machine
will repair it."  Both girls blush and squirm.  Remy's
not doing much better.  Considering he and his dad
are having a discussion in his head.

    <Dad I know it was wrong and stupid.  I just
wanted them to experience it before it was 15 years
before they could again.>

    Charles sighs dejectedly.  <I realize that
Remy, but that dosen't excuse you.  Your going to
be paddled soundly by me.  While the two
girls get spanked by their dad's also>

    Remy cringes knowing they'll all be hurting
soon.  <Dad are Rogue and Jen in trouble?>

    Charles voice grows very stern.  <No.  And
no thanks to you.  You could have caused them to
be punished as well.>

    Remy cringes and bows his head.  <Yessir.
I realize that.>  Remy looks up and sends.  <We're
home.  Were do you want me to meet you?>

    Charles smiles gently at the boy.  <Your
new room.  You'll have to sleep in a sleeping bag on
the floor.>

    Remy groans at this.  <But otherwise you'll
be fine.>

    Remy gulps and sends.  <Yessir.  My new room.  I am
sorry dad.>
