(An: This was my most popular story on a different site. It's kind of wierd at the beginning, but it gets better, I promise!)
The X-men were sitting around, feeling very bored.
Logan had busted the tv when his favorite team had lost him a bet, the furniture was stuck to the ceiling because Jean had had another power surge, and Kurt had eaten all the food. It was a Saturday, no one was causing chaos, the Brotherhood and Acolytes weren't causing trouble, and no one was fighting.
In other words, there was nothing to do.
"Hey guys", said Bobby. "How 'bout we start a band?"
Everyone just stared at Bobby.
"Right Bobby," said Kurt, and turned to everyone else. "Has he had his medication today?"
Everyone else, very seriously, shook their heads.
"Right, then. SOMEONE GET THE STRAIGHT JACKET AND A FUNNEL!"
"But seriously Bobby, why would you WANT to start a band?"
"It'd be something to do, and just look around you. We REALLY need something to do." He made a sweep of the room with his hands. Everyone was very close to comatose.
"But there are too many of us. Someone'd get left out, and, er, that's why the gamecube's smashed."
"You know, he's got a point there."
"You know, we could do something like Earth, Wind, and fire..."
Everyone just stared at Kurt.
"What?"
"You know, Earth, wind, and fire? It was a band in the 70's. There was a big thing about it in the Grammys."
"So?"
Kurt rolled his eyes. (which was rather interesting, since he didn't really have pupils.)
"In that band, anyone who could play an instrument or sing pretty well was more or less in. We COULD do the same thing, you know.. Since there's so many of us."
"Someone's got a point again."
"Well it WOULD be something to do...."
"YES! Score one for the Iceman!" He then began to dance around, (badly) singing "Oh yeah! Go Bobby! Go Bobby" (rinse and repeat)
Everyone stared at Bobby.
"Bobby, could you please stop that? My iq's low enough as it is, and I'd like to get out of highschool as soon as possible.." (Kurt said this) Bobby glared at him, but did stop.
"What could we call it?"
"Why not just the X-men? After all, it's who we are, and it's simple enough for Bobby to understand."
"HEY!"
"So, like, who'd do what?", asked Kitty. "You know, like who'd play guitar, who'd do drums, stuff like that?"
"I guess we should just have auditions, you know? The older X-men could judge. You just put your name down if you want in and put what you can do next to it. We'd only judge to make sure you could do what you signed up for fairly well." Scott nodded as he spoke, agreeing firmly with himself.
"That sounds good."
Jean floated a clipboard towards herself, and wrote down : X-man band auditions.
"I'll put this on the table. Anyone who wants to sign up can."
"Do you think professor X would mind?"
"Probably not. After all, he's cool about the perpetual destruction we leave in our wake. The worst we can do is play loudly or badly."
(an: So that was the first chappy. I combined 3 into one. Aren't I smart? .:grins:.)
