Channel hopping with the X men

Right, first a note to say that all X men related characters belong to Marvel not to me, sadly.

This story is based on conversations between myself and Anything But ordinary3 and involves her characters and mine as well as representations of both myself and her. Thanks mate for letting me use your toys as well as your face.
Mel and Ash belong to Anything but Ordinary3's "Retribution X" Series. Lizzie and Digital belong to My "Misfit" story- check them both out! Logan may belong to Marvel but we've ruined him!

Happy reading!

We start this tale in the spacious living room of one of Retribution X's prestigious authors, Oracles Maiden. A large white sofa sits directly in front of a rather large television with a cable box and video recorder underneath it. The room strangely for this house is silent and empty of people. I said people but not Muses. On the floor sit four, foot high people. All look very sullen.

Mel Muse: How long have they been out without us?

Logan Muse: rawr!

Ash Muse: Four hours.

Digital Muse: I hope they bring us back sheep.

All Muses Look at Digital strangely

Logan Muse: Annoyed RAWR!

Ash Muse: I can understand why Ellie leaves me behind; I mean she's working and she doesn't want him scaring off the customers…

Logan Muse: Rawr.

Ash Muse: But why does Oracle Leave you behind?

Mel Muse: Says that we're an inconvenience when it comes to looking for a job. Says that Digit scares them so much that she has to leave the store and never go back.

Digital Muse: Hey I have an idea!

Mel Muse: Does it have anything to do with riding the dog again?

Digital Muse: Thinks for a second, then Quietly I'll just keep quiet.

Ash Muse: And its not as if there's much work for us anymore. I mean Retribution X is coming to an end in a bit.

Mel Muse: Bye bye annual wage packet.

Ash Muse: And Misfit's almost completely written… it just needs to be put up.

Digital bursts into tears

Ash Muse: So we're on the Dole.

All sat suddenly even more depressed, except for Logan Who simply says…

Logan Muse: Rawr.

Sound of fast chattering from Digital, we turn to find that the young muse is talking to a wall

Mel Muse: What in the Blue hell are you doing?

Digital Muse: Sheepishly Oracle said to me that the wall came up with better ideas than I did… so I'm asking the wall what ideas he can come up with.

Logan Muse Runs at the wall and goes head first into it, leaving his muscular back legs kicking behind him

Logan Muse: Faintly from the other side of the wall Rawr?

Mel and Ash look at each other and shake their heads in disbelief as Digital now is talking to Logan's arse looking for inspiration.

Mel Muse: So what the hell are we going to do? Cause I don't want to be unemployed again.

Ash Muse: come up with some more ideas for fics for them I suppose.

both sit in stony silence as they begin to think

20 minutes later

Both sit there still unable to come up with ideas… then

Mel muse: Excitedly OOOHHH OHHH!!!

Ash Muse: Yep?

Mel Muse: Suddenly realising Oh not a story idea. I just remembered Oracle Left her hair tongs on her sister's bed. Probably burning down the top of the house. Laughs

Ash Muse: Laughs, then uncomfortably stops Ummm Mel? Isn't Oracles Sisters room directly above the room in which we are all sitting?

Mel Muse: Thinks for a second… then Um… I think I'll just nip upstairs for a second. Slowly walks to the door… then legs it.

Digital Muse: Can I smell burning?

Sound of Mel Muse on the stairs

Mel Muse: Through the wall Hey Wolvie.

Logan Muse: Through wall Rawr.

Ash Muse: None of this helps us come up with ideas…

Movement can be seen in the pot plant behind Ash Muse

Voice: Um… May I give some help?

Ash turns round shocked

Ash Muse: Who in the hell are you?

Lizzie Muse steps out from behind the pot plant

Lizzie Muse: Only your friendly neighbourhood Movie Muse.

Ash Muse: Disappointedly Oh it's you.

Lizzie Muse:  Ahhh why the sad face. I'm here to help after all.

Ash Muse: Why would you of all people want to help us? We take valuable resources away from the production of Movie fic.

Lizzie Muse: Well lets just say that I have a soft spot for Retribution X. coughs, now lower And-if-you-don't-exist-then-Misfit-will-become-a-lot-more-happy-and-funny-and-I'll-be-condemned-to-the-backstairs-linen-closet-because-Lizzie-has-demons-more-than-you'll-ever-know!

Ash Muse: not impressed Ah… your Oracles Angst Muse.

Lizzie Muse: Spot on.

Ash Muse: So what are you going to do? Anything you come up with will be Angst-y and so unusable by us.

From the ceiling can be heard loud thumps and screaming as Mel Muse hurls herself at the fire.

Mel Muse: Muffled from upstairs Damn you fire! Damn you all the way to hell.

Logan muse: Still stuck in the wall Rawr.

Lizzie Muse: Do you really think that this lot could come up with a decent idea between them? Do you think that any of them can actually count up to 5 without help?

Digital Muse: Hey I can! Look… 1, 2, 26, 47, 9, 5. See! Sticks out tongue at Lizzie.

Lizzie Muse: Clapping sarcastically Yes, good girl Digital maybe tomorrow you can tie your shoelaces without getting your hair caught in the knot.

Digital Muse: Happily We can dream.

Ash Muse: Coughing loudly to bring us back to the point You were saying about how we were going to use your ideas?

Lizzie Muse: Not my Ideas. Your ideas.

Ash muse looks at her dumbstruck before grabbing the collar of Lizzie's suede jacket and pushing her against the wall, sending Logan Muse flying out the other side

Logan Muse: Weakly rawr?

Ash Muse: I HAVE TOLD YOU MOVIE GIRL WE HAVE NO IDEAS! WE HAVE NO HOPE OF CREATING IDEAS.

Lizzie Muse: Of course you do. You just have to use your muse magic.

Ash Muse: Muse Magic?

Lizzie Muse: Oh come on, you must have heard of Muse Magic? The thing that makes all us muses Magical. Helps us give other people their ideas. Don't tell me you don't know how you've given Ellie all of her ideas.

Ash Muse: Well… I… Um… SHUT UP YOU!

Lizzie Muse: Look just concentrate on what you want to do and something magical will happen.

Ash Muse: Letting go of Lizzie Muse Really? You're not mucking with my head again?

Lizzie Muse: Would I do that to you?

Ash Muse: Thinking for a second Um… nods

Lizzie Muse: Just trust me this once. This will work. As long as you believe in Muse Magic.

Lizzie Disappears in a cloud of powder blue smoke

Digital Muse: AAAAHHHHHH DEEEEEEMMMMMMONNN!! Runs and hides behind the plant pot where she sees a spider. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH SSSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!! runs away from the Plant pot just as an angry Logan Muse walks in the door. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH AAAANNNNGGGRRRYYY LLOOGGANNN! Runs and cowers behind Ash

Logan Muse: Confused Rawr?

Ash Muse: Flicks Digital muse Shhh, we need to think… Looks at those assembled Ok I need to think.

The door slams behind and Mel Muse stand there with her back hard against it, gasping for breath.

Mel Muse: The fires out… realising… Did I say Fire I meant Puppy. Really big puppy. With… Fire in his… Ok lets get off the subject. Just out of interest do you think Oracles Sister actually liked that sum 41 poster that's on her ceiling. Not that anything's happened to it. But say something had?

Ash Muse: ignoring her What do the two of them do when they get in?

Mel Muse: Not hurt the muses cause they burnt down the top floor of the house? Not that I have…

Logan Muse: Rawr?

Digital Muse: Dance the hula while eating cheese?

Ash Muse: No! They watch television. So we use Muse Magic to make the Television Give them ideas.

Mel Muse: Muse Magic?

Ash Muse: It's what makes us give them ideas in the first place all right. Just hand me the remote.

The muses work together to get the remote off the sofa and onto the floor. However the sound of a door unlocking is heard.

Ellie: from out of the room Guys we're back.

Oracle: From out of the room Musey, Musey, Musey, Muse-y!

Mel Muse: Panicking They're home!!!

Mel Muse runs round in a circle screaming, while Digital Muse bangs her head with her hand and screaming and Logan Muse Stands in the centre of the room saying…

Logan Muse: Rawr.

Ash Muse: bending down and touching the exposed batteries with her hands Come on Work your magic Musey!

There's a bright flash and all the muses are knocked off their feet just as Ellie and Oracle enter. They look at their muses strangely.

Ellie: What have you guys been up to?

Muses: Nothing.

Logan Muse: Rawr.
