Alien planet or not, there's no way I'm spending another Thanksgiving alone. I know I'm not the only American trapped in this place. And I can't be the only person here with a thing or two to be thankful for.

[It had been one of her favorite holidays as a child. Her mother had reminded her every year just how much she had to be thankful for growing up in the Bishop family, never needing to want for anything. They'd spend the day in one of the soup kitchens her mother helped to run and serve meals to those in need. She never complained, even as a little girl.

By the time they came home at the end of the afternoon, it seemed like Christmas had come early. Food would be spread out on the dining room table and her father would actually be home from the office in time to spend a meal with the rest of them. Eleanor would insist they all eat dinner together, It hadn't been just the Bishop family that night, but their cook and nanny and housekeeper. Everyone together, one big family.

It had been one of the first traditions to go after her mother died. Thanksgiving had become a day to slave away in the soup kitchens, nothing more.

Kate takes a deep breath, looking pointedly at the camera. If a flicker of sadness and longing crosses her face, it's in your imagination. There's no regrets here. Not one whatsoever. Life is too short to let those emotions keep dictating your every action.]

So, guys, what do you say? I've never exactly prepared my own meal but it can't be that hard. Thursday, 5 pm, my place. Bring whatever you want. I'll provide the bird.

[ Kate...

Man, he should've handled this way sooner. Way, way sooner. But depressive Billy was one thing and kind of avoiding teen mom was another and here he is at the waypoint, about a month late in conversations that should be had. ]

I can give you a hand so you don't burn the whole complex down.

[Thanksgiving has never been an thing that he's celebrated but she does have a point about being thankful for things.]

I think it sounds really great, Kate! I'd love to help. I can probably cook something.

I've never celebrated that holiday before, but it sounds like a nice idea.

Letting you spend Thanksgiving by yourself? I'm pretty sure that's a crime. So as a dashing crime-fighter, it's only my duty to step in, myself. I don't know much about baking the bird, but I'll have you know I can whip up the meanest saurkraut you'll ever meet.

I don't know. That's awfully far to travel.

... I take it non-Americans are welcome, as well. ... I think I could come up with something. ... Cranberries, maybe? [Yes, she chose her food by colour, why do you ask?]

Thanksgiving, huh?

[touchofrogue]

We usually have one over at the X-House. You're welcome to come an' bring you an' yours. But it sounds like you've already got quite a crowd. [She can't help but laugh at Kurt committing to both. It just figures. It's a good thing he's a teleporter, otherwise someone would have to roll him home.]

Thanksgiving?

Is that some odd combination between thanking people by giving them presents. Is it akin to the Yule season? Please do tell me that there is an old man involved with a large beard who is fond of reindeers pulling his sled.

Will there be food as well?

Am I invited?
