Chapter One
"Give me fifty bucks,'' Mystique said.
"We're broke,'' Lance said,'' You always take our money.''
"Get some more,'' Mystique yelled,'' I'll be back later. You better have the money.''
Mystique drove off on her new motorcycle. Lance went inside and sat down next to Pietro in the living room.
"Mystique needs fifty bucks,'' Lance said.
"We can't keep giving her money,'' Pietro said,'' Look at Todd. He is so skinny. We need food.''
"There is nothing we can do,'' Lance said,'' She'll be back in about two hours. There is no way we can make fifty bucks in that much time.''
"We need to do something,'' Fred said.
"We've done nearly everything,'' Lance said,'' The babysitting, lamenade, kissing, car wash, and other things. Who would come to anything we did again?"
"I have it,'' Steve said,'' We need a vacation. Lets go on a camping trip.''
"That's a good idea,'' Lance said,'' But how are we going to get the stuff for it?"
"Mystique hides the money we give her in her room,'' Todd said,'' I don't know where it is though.''
"Lets go find it,'' Lance yelled.
The boys quickly ran into Mystiques room. The boys distoryed the room.
"Found it,'' Pietro said,'' And some other things.''
The other boys looked in. There was a leather outfit, handcuffs, and a wip.
"Just get the money,'' Lance said.
Pietro grabed the money and they ran out of the room. They went to their rooms and quickly packed some clothes. They ran out of the door, got in lances jeep, and drove off.
"Where are we going, yo?" todd asked.
"To the store,'' lance said,'' We need food and some tents. We might even get some good clothes.''
"There's five thousand bucks here,'' Pietro said,'' We sure did give her alot of money.''
"One thousand for each of us,'' Lance said.
Pietro handed them one thousand dollars each. Soon they were at the mall. They got out od the jeep and went inside.
"Okay,'' Pietro said,'' I'm going to go get some new clothes.''
"Whatever,'' Lance said,'' You two, go do what you want.''
They went in different directions.
Pietro
Pietro walked into where he always bought his clothes. He looked at the different types of pants.' I don't wear any of these,' Pietro thougt going to a different section. He ran into Kathy and Kurt.
"What are you doing here?" Kathy asked.
"Buying some clothes,'' Pietro said,'' I'm not here to bug you, so if you can just let me by.''
Kathy and Kurt moved and Pietro passed.' Stupid X-Geeks,' Pietro thought.
"It's X-men,'' Kathy said,'' Not X-Geeks.''
"Stay out of my head,'' Pietro snapped.
People were beginning to look at them. They quickly left the store. Pietro went into a different place.
Lance
Lance walked around with a cart. He grabed some stuff off the shelves now and then.' Why do I have to use my money?' Lance thought.
"Lance,'' Kitty said,'' Nice to see you.''
"Hey Kitty,'' Lance said,'' What are you doing?"
"Getting some food,'' Kitty said,'' Kurt, Kathy, Jean, and Scott are here.''
"Great,'' Lance muttered,'' Well, bye Kitty.''
Lance quickly left before Kitty could say goodbye.
Fred
Fred entered a resturant. He sat down in one of the seats in the back.
"Ready to order?" A waiter asked.
"Yes,'' Fred said,'' I want everything on this menu.''
The waiter looked shocked, but took the menu and left.' I have enough money for everything on the menu now,' Fred thought.
Todd
Todd walked around, not knowing what to get. He saw Kathy, so he walked over to her.
"Hey Kathy,'' Todd said.
"Hi,'' Kathy said.
"Are you here alone?" Todd asked.
"I am,'' Kathy said,'' Kurt had to go back to the mansion. He forgot his money. He should be back in an hour.''
"Want to walk around with me?" Todd asked,'' I got one thousand bucks. I'm going on a camping trip with the other brotherhood members. I need to get some new things, but I can't deside.''
Ya,'' Kathy said,'' I'll walk around with you. You need some new clothes.''
Kathy grabed his arm and led him into a store.' Why am I regretting this?' Todd thought.
Steve
Steve ran in and out of stores with bags of different things.' I've always wanted to go camping,' Steve thought. He ran into a store and ran straight into Jean and Scott.
"Hi,'' Scott said.
"What are you doing?" Scott asked looking at all the bags.'' You buy more things then Kitty.''
"Camping trip,'' Steve said,'' Tell Kathy I said hi.''
Steve ran passed them and started to grab some more things.' I miss Kathy,' Steve thought,' I really don't get to spend that much time with her anymore.'
Lance, Pietro, Fred, and Steve met in the middle of the mall.
"Got everything?" Lance asked.
"Yes,'' Pietro, Fred, and Steve said.
"Where's Todd?" Fred asked.
Just then they heard a scream from inside a clothes store. Todd ran out. He had some bags in his hands. He hid behind Fred. Everyone looked at him, then at the store. Kurt and Kathy were walking out of the store. Kurt looked really mad and Kathy looked disgusted. They walked over to them.
"What did he do now?" Lance asked.
"He vas trying to kiss Kathy,'' Kurt snapped.
"Yo,'' Todd said,'' I didn't think you were there, but I shouldn't of tried to kiss her. She's your girl.''
"Come on Kathy,'' Kurt said'' Lets go get something to eat.''
They walked off. Kathy looked back with a smirk on her face. They went into a different store and out of site.
"Why did you try and kiss her?" Pietro asked trying not to laugh.
"She said I looked good in these clothes,'' Todd said,'' I thought she was flirting with me.''
"Come on,'' Lance said,'' Lets go.''
The boys left the store, got in the jeep, and drove off, not knowing where they should go on their camping trip.
