I don't own an X-Men Evolution or GI Joe characters! Sorry! Well here's a strange fun fic that I had in my head that needed to get out. Yes another camp story but with a twist. (As if there were any other kind!)
Of Psychos and Sea Serpents
Chapter 1. : Camp is Fun for Everyone:
"What a day," Tabitha grumbled. "First we have to take that stupid psychiatry class and now this!" She pointed to the mayhem the Misfits were making. They were splashing around in the pool happily and dousing everyone in sight with super soaker water guns.
"YEEEEHAAAAAAAAA!" Pietro shouted at the top of his lungs, squirting Rogue and Remy with his water pistol. They were chasing him around as well with Remy using his powers to blow objects up at him.
"You know the Danger Room is getting to be the most relaxing part of my day," Scott muttered. "Do you guys have to be this nuts whenever you come over?"
"Actually I think they're a bit more hyper today than usual," Jean commented as Pietro made another pass and attacked Ray this time.
"Well we're trying to enjoy ourselves before this weekend," Lance grumbled.
"Why what's this weekend?" Kurt asked.
"I will be forced to spend the weekend with my brother, Lance, Xi and Fred," Wanda groaned. "Another one of Psyche-Out's great ideas!"
"We're going to spend a weekend connecting with our inner selves and developing a more positive self image," Fred told them.
"Translation: We are going to Psycho Camp," Lance grumbled.
"Psycho Camp?" Tabitha asked.
"Yeah it's where they send all the nuts and lunatics and try to de-stress them before they blow stuff up," Wanda grumbled. "What fun. This time they decided to do a teen version of it."
"How come you two aren't going?" Kurt asked Todd and Althea.
"Well technically Toad is a lunatic, not psychotic," Fred told them. "He's more a happy go lucky nuts than a dangerous nut."
"And Althea?" Kurt asked.
"I gotta thank my dad for this one," Althea said. "Thanks to him all Delgatos have a lifetime ban from the camp. Don't ask."
"SHIPWRECK GET OUT OF MY GARDEN NOW!" Storm shouted. This was followed by a crash of thunder and lightning and a loud yelp.
"Something tells me I don't want to know anyway," Scott shook his head.

Later that night after the Misfits had gone home, most of the X-Men were lounging in the common room when Xavier and Hank walked in. Jamie followed them carrying a sleeping bag. "Thanks Mr. McCoy for loaning me your sleeping bag! I can't wait to go!"
"Go where?" Jean asked.
"I'm going camping!" Jamie said excitedly.
"I thought you would have gotten enough of it after our last trip?" Rogue asked.
"Why it was fun?" Jamie asked.
"You have a very strange idea of fun kid," Ray said. "Who's going to take the squirt?"
"Bazooka," Hank told him.
"Bazooka's taking Multiple on a camping trip?" Scott asked.
"It's sort of like a 'Big Brother' type of deal," Hank explained. "Both Charles and Hawk think that it would be beneficial for Jamie to have a human role model. And for Bazooka to have someone his own mental age to play with."
"Well that's nice," Kitty said.
"Yeah and the rest of us can have a nice long weekend working on this new Danger Room scenario I cooked up," Scott told them.
"That's not so nice," Kitty made a face.
"Actually Scott I think it might be more beneficial for you if you took this weekend off from the Danger Room," Xavier said.
"What do you mean?" Scott asked.
"Well…" Xavier looked at Hank. "Scott you've been under a lot of pressure lately as leader of the team. We just think you need a break from it for a while."
"Why?" Scott asked. "I mean I've not let you down in some way have I?"
"Of course not," Xavier said. "In fact it's just the opposite."
"Do you remember those tests we took today in Basic Psychology class?" Hank asked.
"Yeah," Scott looked at him.
"Well they show that you're a bit too…focused lately," Hank said politely.
"Oh for crying out loud if you won't say it I will," Rogue groaned. "Scott you're even more uptight than usual lately! In fact you're driving us nuts!"
"I'm just trying to make sure we're prepared for anything," Scott defended. "We have to be with those Misfits running amok."
"The Misfits weren't the ones who woke us up yesterday at five am for a surprise fire drill!" Rogue snapped.
"Well we have to have them," Scott said. "It's required by state law that all…"
"Okay Scott I think this is exactly what I was talking about," Xavier groaned. "I'm supposed to worry about things like that. Not you."
"Scott we're all worried about you," Jean said. "The test was just a way to make sure that…"
"Hold it!" Scott held his hand up. "You all knew about this test?"
"Yeah well the rest of us took it for fun," Kurt said. "But dude, you really need to unwind."
"That's why we think it would be beneficial for you to go to a new age retreat specially designed for teens this weekend," Xavier handed Scott a brochure.
"Ha!" Ray snickered.
"You're going too Ray," Hank told him.
"Oh man!" Ray grumbled. "This is about me frying the lamp in the library isn't it?"
"WAIT A MINUTE!" Scott shouted. "THIS IS PSYCHO CAMP! WHY AM I GOING TO PSYCHO CAMP?"
"It is not Psycho Camp," Xavier sighed.
"Yeah right!" Scott snapped. "We just talked to Lance and the others. We know what it means. And of course that means we're gonna hang out with the Misfits as well. Great! So much for a fun weekend!"
"Scott the fact that you consider the Danger Room fun is a sure sign that you need a break," Forge told him.
"I still don't understand why I have to go!" Scott said. "Okay Berzerker I can understand. But why me? I don't need it!"
"What do you mean you understand if I go?" Ray snapped.
"Do you want the short list or the long?" Rogue asked.
"How come she's not going?" Ray pointed to Rogue. "If anybody needs to go to Psycho Camp…"
"Oh thanks a lot!" Rogue said hotly.
"Actually Rogue is quite well adjusted considering her powers," Hank told him.
"Not to mention all the nuts I have to live with," Rogue said.
"Well what about Boom Boom?" Ray pointed his thumb at her. "You can't tell me she's more sane than I am?"
"WHAT?" Tabitha growled. "And what's that supposed to mean?"
"It means your freaking nuts that's what it means!" Ray snapped.
"That's it!" Tabitha started to create an energy bomb. She began to chase Ray into the other room. Soon there were the sounds of explosions and arguing.
"Great there goes another paint job," Hank sighed.
"Then again maybe sending Tabitha as well may not be such a bad idea," Xavier sighed.
"Oh goody," Scott groaned. "It's gonna be another fun weekend in Hell."
"Don't worry Scott," Jean put her hand on his shoulder. "I've decided that I'm going too. It won't be that bad."
"You're volunteering for this?" Rogue asked. "Why?"
"Isn't it obvious? To keep Scott company in the woods," Bobby snickered.
"No I'm not!" Jean said hotly.
"Well thanks a lot," Scott grumbled.
"I didn't mean it like that," Jean said. "I've just been feeling a little stressed lately and with my powers evolving I think it would be a good opportunity to try something new."
"Oh yeah a weekend with the Misfits that's really going to relieve your stress," Scott grumbled. "Are you sure I can't spend the weekend in the Danger Room instead Professor? Please?"
"You're going Scott," Hank told him. "Case closed! Don't worry, it won't be that bad!"
"You guys always say that," Scott folded his arms. "And every time some kind of disaster strikes!"
"That won't happen," Xavier told him.
"How much you wanna bet?" Scott grumbled.
