All For the Money

Hi everyone, this is my first X:men fic, but my friends liked it so I thought it was good enough to put up. Its basically where all of our favorite original X:Men (And Jamie), The BoM , and some of the Acolytes (Gambit, Colossus, and Pyro). And their basically thrown into a mansion and have to live together, but trust me, its not easy. They are not allowed to leave the house or they loose the prize, and the last one there wins. (Kinda like Big Brother but they choose to leave, not voted off) I guess you would like to know parings... Scott/Jean, Gambit/Rogue, Kitty/Piedro, Tabitha/Kurt Lance/Wanda and I think that's it. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Dont own it, and honestly do you really think i did. Do you really think that i'd be writing FANFICTIONS if i owned it? Just asking. Stupid legal issues tha make us say this. And just for further notice, i will not own it, nor say i own it in any other chapters just in case i dont write it.

All For The $MONEY$

******************************************************************************

Don't ask them why they were there, they couldn't tell you. All they knew was that it was another one of those 'get-to-know-yourself' type of retreats. So Scott Summers walked up to the mansion, his crew of X-men following right behind him.

It wasn't an old mansion, even though the outside appearance made it look old. The inside was nicely furnished in modern renaissance, with nothing broken, but didn't look over-fancy. They toured the downstairs area as Professor Xavier, Logan, and Ororo walked to the large kitchen.

They eventually started making their way towards the kitchen. As soon as they dat down at the large table with Pro. X, Logan, and Ororo the doorbell rang. Logan sniffed, "Hm. There early, I'll get them." He got up and walked in the direction of the door, and out of sight. They waited there in silence for a few minutes. Then they heard a chorus of footsteps coming to the kitchen. In came the Acolytes, or at least Remy (Gambit), Poitr (Collossus), and John (Pyro). Remy smiled charmingly at Rogue, "Mesami Remy is happy to see your beautifull face again!" He greeted. Rogue looked away as she turned slightly pink. Logan sniffed again, "Good their late." he said, going to get the door before it rang.

"Geese Professor, who else did you invite? The BoM? Magnito?" Scott asked. Pro. X had a small sweat drop. "Well, you see..." he started but was cut off by a second chorus of feet and a large whoosh. Pietro ran in, "Hey Pretty Kitty!" He greeted as Lance, Freddy, Todd and Wanda walked in.

"Good. Now that we're all here I can explain. We have brought you all here to learn how to get along with each other. Basically, everyone gets a room to him/herself and you cant leave the building unless you wish to loose. This is called All for the Money, but this is our mutant style. You can use any powers as long as you don't destroy the house. The last person left wins a big prize, and the others must leave voluntarily, but with all of you under one roof, that wont be to hard. Once a day either Logan, Ororo, or Mistique will come by and give you anything you need. O.K. I guess thats it! Have fun!" And with that, the three adults left.

The teenage mutants stood there blinking for a minute. "Sweet! No adult supervision! That means I can eat all the sugar I want! I wonder what the prize is?" Pietro said rapidly. "Ohh, I vant the vroom closest to the fridge!" Kurt said. "Not if I beat you to it blue boy!" Pietro challenged. "O.K. On your marks, get set, go!" Kurt accepted the challenge. Kurt teleported and Pietro became a big blur as he raced up the stairs. By the time Pietro got to the room he saw Kurt laying on the bed. "Neiner, neiner, neiner!" Kurt taunted, Pietro frowned, but raced to the next closest bedroom, which was still not that close to the kitchen since the rooms were upstairs.

An hour later theey had all chosen their rooms and were now exploring the house. "Ahh!!!" Kitty screamed. In less than a second, (actually in .7239114 of a second) Pietro was there. "What's wrong Kitty?" he asked, then he looked in the direction that she was looking and saw the alrgest inside pool! "SWEET!!" he said.

In the span of less that two seconds, (1.329) he picked up Kitty, rushed her to her room, went and told everyone about the pool, they went to get dressed. Pietro was ready in seconds, but then spent the last two minutes waiting for Kitty. "Kitty! Just pick one!" he yelled through the door. "I cant choose! The banana colored one, or the pink one. Oh, there's always the blue one..." she continued listing her different bathing suits. "Uh, the blue one." Pietro said, just to get her to shut up. There was some shuffling and then a bang, an "Ouch! I chipped my nail!" and she walked out in a baby blue bikini. Pietro was slack jawed. "Ithinkichosetherightone." he said blushing slightly. She smiled as Pietro piked her up like a baby and in a second they were in the pool.

"Aie! Its like cold!" Kitty screeched. Most of them were in the water, ad Remy was trying to coax Rogue in. "Remy thinks it is fine, your wearing a beautiful body suit and gloves! Please, do it for Remy?" he pleaded, Rogue sighed in defeat, she tentatively dipped her toe in the water "Its so cold!" Remy grabbed her gloved hand and pulled her into the water, then he pulled her into a hug, "Not so cold now is it mon Chere?" he asked.

Then Freddy came out in his large swimming trunks. "Aw, Freddy! Get a shirt on!" Pietro and Lance complained, covering their eyes. Freddy didn't seem to hear them however because he was on a B-line straight towards the diving board. When he stepped on in the others started to panicked. "RUN!!" Pietro screamed. He tried to run out of the pool, but the most he succeeded was creating a small whirlpool. Not even our favorite speedy demon could run in the water.

Freddy stepped to the edge and the diving board creaked dangerously under the weight. He bounced, then jumped. Time seemed to slow down as he fell and the others ran in slow motion. He hit the water, and created what can only be described as a pool sized tidal wave. Seconds later everyone swam desperately to the surface and gasped for breath. "Are vou alvight Tabby?" Kurt asked, his blue fur now soaking wet. "Yeah, i'm fine, you?" "Wanda, ya Ok?" Lance called out. "Peachy, I just got slammed by a mini blob-made tidal wave. I'm just peachy." she said grumpily. "I'm glad your O.K. snuckums." Todd told Wanda, getting himself a swift backhand and Pietro saying, "Eww, that's my sister your talking about!"

They swam around for about an hour or so, then they got out and ready for dinner. Kitty got ready in a hurry so that she could help cook dinner. When she got down to the kitchen she found Remy preparing a meal. "Oh, like I didn't know you could like cook!" she said excitedly. "Well mes ami of course I can cook. Today we are having lasagna, fresh bread, spring zucchini, and fresh juice!" Kitty made a face, "Ew, vegetables." Remy smiled, "Yes, the help you grow." Kitty looked up to him with pleading eyes, "Can I help?" And Remy, not having heard of the dangers of Kitty's cooking, accepted.

Later on, dinner was ready and the mutants followed their noses to the table which whas already set and ready for them. They sat down and started piling the food onto their plates.

This looks delicious!" Jean complimented. Rogue scowled at her. Remy smiled politely, "Remy thanks you mesomi, Kitty helped to!" Everyone froze and immediately started putting the food back onto the serving plates. "Hey! That's like not nice! At least like try it!" Everyone faced Pietro, he sighed and tasted a bit of the lasagna fast, then his eyes widened in shock. "Call ve Hosvital! Amvulance!" Kurt yelled as Pietro swallowed.

"Dear Gawd! I thought the day would never come when I enjoyed Kitty's cooking!" Kitty's eyes widened. "Like you mean that? You like it?!" The others tasted the lasagna and nodded in agreement. Rogue leaned towards Remy, "How did you do it? How did you get her to cook something with out destroyan it?" She whispered. Remy put his arm around Rogues covered shoulders, "Your Remy can do anything! Kitty just had a problem wid takin' da things out of da oven on time, so your Remy helped." Rogue put her head on his shoulders.

They ate to their hearts content and then Jean and Scott rinsed the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. Then, as they were all fighting over the remote to the large-screen T.V., the power went out. They all blinked in the darkness. "Joy. Rapture. Could this day get any better?" Rogue asked sarcastically. Their was a large crack of thunder and it started pouring. "You had to ask, didn't you!" Wanda said. A fire-butterfly illuminated the room, Pyro grinned evilly. "Welcome to my fire-zoo!" The butterfly fluttered around the T.V. room as their was a large Crack BOOM of thunder. Pyro continued making different fire-creatures that meandered around the room aimlessly.

Tabitha and Kurt went in search of board games. They returned five minutes later with monopoly in their hands. "It was the only thing we could find." Tabitha explained. They sat down and set up the board and played in teams. (Scott+Jean, Kitty+Pietro, Rogue+Remy, Pyro+Colossus the bankers, Kurt+Tabitha, Lance+Wanda, and Freddy+Todd). They all collected their money and began.

"HAHA! Now I have all THREE of the orange properties! Now my pretty Kitty we shall RULE THE WORLD!!!...Or at least monopoly!" Pietro gloated. His turn came around again and he landed on Scott and Jean's property. "Heh, pay up Quicksilver." Scott said happily. Pietro growled. "Damn, fine." He payed up.

Rogue was about to roll when the doorbell rang...

********

Earlier at the Institute...

"Logan, Ororo. Plan A has started, get subject A redy." Professor X said telepathically. "Ya mean the powers off and you want Jamie." Logan translated, wondering why he had resorted to using such stupid terms. "Yes." Professor sighed, wondering why Logan just couldn't have fun with the whole thing. A few minutes later Jamie came in, "Its time?" he asked. "Yes." Professor answered. Jamie smiled mischievously and strode out of the institute in the direction of the mansion.

********

They all frowned. Todd gout up, went to the door and opened it. In came a soaking wet Jamie. "Hey, yo! Not another X-Freak!" He complained. Rogue saw Jamie and jumped up, "Jamie your soaking wet! Here," She ran to the closet and got out a towel and started drying Jamie's hair off. "Why are you here?" She asked. "I missed you." He said with a puppy-dog face. Rogue stopped, and threw her arms around him in a breath squeezing hug. "You cute squirt! C'mon, we're playing monopoly!" And she took Jamie to the board game.

********

Professor, Logan, and Ororo were watching a large screen T.V. They had put a camera on Jamies shirt and a listening device, for safety precautions (the professor had said) since the house had no phone. (Logan just thought he did it because it was an excellent source of intertainment.) "Five bucks that fat kid leaves first." Logan bet. "No, five bucks its Lance." The professor said. "Five bucks on Scott." Ororo added.
