SUMMARY: In the first story, The X-Men Get The Blues, (which I highly recommend that you read before reading this one) the X-Men ended up killing most of the Blue's Clues characters. Now they have to fill in for them so the director can film the final episode of Blue's Clues.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the X-men characters as they are the sole property of Marvel (darn it!). I do not own Blue's Clues or any of its characters as they are the property of Nick Jr. (and they can have 'em!). All songs mentioned can be considered as being quoted from the show.

WARNING: This story contains a heck of a lot of Scott bashing. Also, I apologize beforehand for how Hank is portrayed. I love that man to death but I just could not resist the potential pun.


THE X-MEN GET THE BLUES, THE SEQUEL


We begin the madness on the Blue's Clues set at Nicklelodeon studios.

CYCLOPS: Explain to me again why we're doing this?

JEAN (sighing): Because Nick Jr. is ticked off about us offing all the cast members, and they've got to have somebody to stand in so they can film the final episode.

JUBILEE (whining): Why do I have ta be the cat? He's still alive!

JEAN: Yes, but since you had him neutered and his vocal cords cut, he can't act on the show!

JUBILEE: But I can't jabber nearly as much as Perriwinkle!

WOLVERINE: I wouldn't bet on that, darlin'.

JUBILEE: Wolvie!

BEAST: I concur. Why must I play the part of the cerulean canine? As I recall, she is still very much alive.

JEAN: And very much missing. Nobody has seen her since she left the mansion. Besides, you're already blue. No one was willing to be painted, except Mystique, but we don't know where she is either.

CYCLOPS: Yeah, you're blue, Blue! Hee hee. Don't you get it?

BEAST: Scott, why don't you purchase a ticket and take an express train straight to the proverbial Nether Regions, hmmmmm?

CYCLOPS: What'd he just say?

JEAN: He told you to go to Hell.

CYCLOPS: WHAT?! Why that....!!!

JEAN: SCOTT!!!

CYCLOPS: Oh...yeah..right...fine.

DIRECTOR: Sigh. Alright, for the tenth time, lights, camera, action!

On the screen, we can see a yellow house with a red roof and a chimney. We see a path leading up to the house and a green bush, which Hank is crouched behind. He's supposed to be hiding behind it, but the bush is just too small. Scott pokes his head out of the window.

CYCLOPS: Er...hi, kids. Have you seen my..er..dog, Blue?

BEAST (very dejectedly): woof.

KIDS: There she is!!!

BEAST: Hold on just one minute! I must whole-heartedly object! I am NOT a SHE...

JEAN: Just go with the script...

BEAST: But Jean, this is too much! First they insult my intelligence and countenance by casting me as a verbally challenged pooch, then they insult my manhood...

Jean tweaks his synapses.

BEAST: Ouch!!! Alright, alright...let's just get this over with.

DIRECTOR: Sigh. Take eleven...

CYCLOPS: Have you seen my dog, Blue?

KIDS: We told you already, she's over there!!!

BEAST (even more dejectedly): woof.

Hank attempts to jump through the doggy-door, knocking the door off its hinges.

CYCLOPS: Oomphh!!

The camera zooms in on the door. Cyclops heaves it off his chest and stands up. We now see Cyclops standing there wearing a green striped shirt and a green striped visor.

CYCLOPS: Uh...hi kids...er...yeah. Hmmm. I'm Steve, and this here is my dog, Blue.

Scott points to Hank. Hank just rolls his eyes heavenward.

CYCLOPS: Blue might look a little different from when you last saw her, but I can assure you she's still the same lovable blue mutt on the inside.

BEAST (low growl): Feast upon my boxers, visor-boy!

Scott ignored the insult.

CYCLOPS: Blue and I were just talking about how sad it is that this is going to be the very last show...

BEAST (muttering): Although they'll probably be showing reruns of it for the next ten years.

DIRECTOR: Blue CAN'T TALK! Capiche?!

CYCLOPS: Anyways, we were also talking about what we should do to make it extra-special, weren't we Blue?

Hank simply nodded.

DIRECTOR: You're supposed to say, bow wow!

BEAST: But I recall you stating quite clearly that I, as Blue, cannot speak.

DIRECTOR: Just say it!

BEAST: bow wow (then under his breath) that truckload of twinkies they promised me had better be in the driveway when I get back to the mansion or someone's going to pay dearly for this.

CYCLOPS: So, Blue, what are we going to do today?

Hank bounds up and smacks his hand against the screen, attempting to place a pawprint on it. He ends up smashing the camera lens and knocking the camera guy to the ground.

BEAST: Oops! Oh, my! I offer you my sincerest apologies for my ineptitude.

Hank helps the man back onto his feet.

DIRECTOR (massaging his temples): That's okay, Beast. Just keep going. We'll use computers to put the pawprint up later.

BEAST: If you say so.

CYCLOPS: Oh. Blue wants to play Blue's Clues to find out what we're going to do today to make this episode extra-special.

DIRECTOR: Cut! Okay Scott, try that again with some enthusiasm, okay?

CYCLOPS (same tone): Okay. Blue wants to play Blue's Clues to find out...

DIRECTOR: I said, 'with enthusiasm'!

CYCLOPS (same tone): Okay. Blue wants to play Blue's Clues...

DIRECTOR: Argh! Forget it and just do the little dance, okay?

Scott begins to blush.

CYCLOPS (sheepishly): Do I have to?

JEAN: Oh, yes Scott! Please do it! You'll look soooo cute!

Sighing resignedly, Scott does a shimmying little dance as he sings.

CYCLOPS: We are gonna play Blue's Clues, we are gonna play Blue's Clues, we are gonna play Blue's Clues, I wonder where they are?

A loud thud is heard off-camera. Apparently, Wolverine collapsed to the floor, nearly hyperventilating from laughter.

DIRECTOR (gulping down some Tylenol): Alright people, we'll take a 10 minute break and start on the next scene.
