Video Game Trauma

Disclaimer: Yeah, I don't own the x-men, but I damn sure wish I did...


"Just a normal day, well at least as normal as it ever is when you're X-men" Jubilee thought, "Waking up at 7:00am for practice in the danger room, and then after breakfast, stopping an anti-mutant rally when things got out of control."

Gambit and Rouge walk into the room talking in hushed voices until the spot Jubilee sitting on the couch. "Hey there, Jubilee" Rouge said.

"Hi there Rouge, Gambit. What are you guys up to?"

"Nothin' right now, chere."

Just then Jubilee gets a brilliant idea. "Well if you two aren't doing anything, will you play my new Playstation game with me?"

"Gambit t'ink dat it would be fun, 'ow bout it chere?"

"I guess we really didn't have anythin' else planned"

"Good then its settled, we'll play," Jubilee said. She gets the game out and starts up the machine. "WOW, look at those graphics!"

"Look at dose boobs" said Gambit, whose comment was followed by two slaps on the face by the people sitting next to him. "Oww, come on, Gambit was just kiddin'."

"Sure ya were, Swamp rat."

Three hours into the game and the trio seems to be really into it. They had accomplished quite alot in those three hours, but it didn't look like they were going to stop playing anytime soon. Just then Wolverine comes into the room looking quite puzzled because the gamers had been screaming at the TV.

"What the hell are you guys screamin' about in here?" growled Wolverine, who had been listening to them screaming for a good hour before finally coming in to check out the situation.

"Well, Gallactico here just stole one-third of my magic power," said Rouge in a very angry voice.

"I think you three have been playing this game for way too long, darlin'," Said Wolverine as he reached to shut off the game only to be intercepted by Jubilee.

"Don't even think of shutting this game off," she snarled sounding quite like Wolverine.

"Ok then, if you want to play your stupid game I'm not goin' to stop ya, but quit yer blasted screamin'," he said as he stomped out of the room to go looking for a beer or any form of alcohol.

It's now 8:00pm, ten hours after they had started their game. No one has changed positions or anything through those ten hours. The game was getting really good and it seemed like they had no intention of stopping the madness of their game. Suddenly a white light filled the screen, blocking the game from their view.

"What the hell is goin' on here," Rouge screamed.

"Don' know, chere, but Gambit's gonna make someone pay"

"Ahhh, the HORROR," Jubilee screamed. Her scream was cut short though as the white light from the TV spread through the room covering the gamers. When the light was gone there was no game on the TV screen and Jubilee, Rouge, and Remy were no where to be found.
