Characters: Cyclops/Scott S. and Jean Grey
Cyclops has converted the X-Men's lab room into a makeshift TV news studio! All the X-Men are tuned in…except of course, Jean Grey.
"Jean! Get down here quick!" Kitty hollered as Jean walked down the staircase sleepily, having woken up from a glorious beauty rest, only to be woken up by Kitty's voice. More surprising, Jean was half asleep, thus muttering incoherently. Her eyes were bloodshot red, large dark circles over her eyes. "Urgh…need more pizza…give me the Atlantis…with some Tums…" Jean moaned in a zombie-like voice. "Mein gott, Jean! What in the name of Odin happened to you?!" Nightcrawler gasped, shocked of Jean's insomniac-like appearance. "Very funny, Kurt. Where the heck's Scott? I specifically asked him to repaint that hole in our wall from that ridiculous 'Patriot' incident!" Jean grunted. "Er…Scott and Warren, er, Angel, I mean are working on some news broadcast." Nightcrawler said sheepishly. Jean just stared at him for a mere three seconds before snoring and falling off the staircase and landing safely on the velvet couch. "If you ask me, I think Scott's goofing off is what caused Jean to take them sleeping pills." Iceman whispered to Kitty in his best cowboy accent. Kitty just gave Iceman an incredulous look then headed downstairs to see the living room wall filled with stage lights, studio cameras on the north and south balconies, and a make-shift TV studio logo that proclaimed 'Scott Summers Network". "Oh boy, Scott's back to his crazy TV fantasies again. I spent 2 weeks fixing the window after that 'Batman' fiasco from the last story! And don't get me started on Jean's vocabulary, either." Kitty ranted as Nightcrawler, Iceman, Colossus, Storm, Tabitha, Lance, Wolverine, Beast, Rogue, Emma Frost, Gambit and Polaris were observing Jean, still insomniac and muttering pig Latin while tossing and turning and mid-snoring. "Uh…Don't you think we should get her one of them sleep syringes? Heck, they helped me when I had insomnia." Lance joked. Then the intercom came on, with a news fanfare that managed to be heard from the entire neighborhood. It did wake Jean, however, but she was still in a dazed and exhausted state. "Live from Salem Center, New York, this is the Nightly News with Scott Summers!" Warren announced over the intercom. "And now, here's tonight's anchorman: Scott Summers!" Cyclops himself entered the area, dressed in his Armani suit and sat at the desk table that has been converted into a TV news desk. "Thank you Warren. Our top story tonight: An incident occurred here at the X-Mansion last month when the X-Men, under leadership of Scott Summers, uh, me, performed a recreation of the famous war scene from Mel Gibson's war movie The Patriot." "Wow. You gotta admit, Scott does make a good news anchorman." Iceman joked, not noticing Jean using his shoulder for a pillow. In fact, Iceman couldn't hear most of the news broadcast due to Jean's loud snoring. "And now a word from our sponsors." Scott said, heading back to his office. "Gee, that was good, for a starter." Wolverine commented. "Yep, you and me both, Logan." Rogue snorted.
