The Adventures of…Stuff

One day, Beast and Professor Xavier were sitting in the main little room that had Evan's poster of the Festering Boils on the ceiling.  It was over Christmas vacation so they were the only ones there since Rogue went home with Kurt and Scott went to visit Alex.  They toasted their tea and drank contently.

Beast sighed and placed his cup on the table.  "Charles," he said.  "I can only sit here chatting for so long."

"What do you wish to do instead?" asked Professor Xavier.

"I am feeling rather creative." Beast answered.  "I would like to compose a nice novel."

"A novel?" Professor Xavier said, raising an eyebrow.  "How about something a little shorter just in case you get bored and don't mind walking away from it?"

"A poem?" suggested Beast.

"No, that would be a little TOO short." The professor replied.

"How about a fanfiction?" asked Beast.

"What show?" the Professor Xavier.

"OUR show of course!" Beast answered.

"Yes…what a clever idea…" said Professor Xavier, rubbing his chin.  "All right.  Let's go."

Then they went into the other room where there was a little computer on a table sitting there beckoning them to use it.  After opening a word document and staring at the screen for a few moments, Professor Xavier turned to Beast.

"Who should be in it?" he asked.  "What should it be about?  What should the genre be?"

"I've always been a fan of cheesy romance novels!" said Beast, getting giddy.

"Romance it is then!" said Professor Xavier.  "But…between who?"

"Hm…we should make it controversial…" Beast said.  "So we can have some sort of…controversy.  Have you seen any sparks flying between any two?"

"Oh!" said Professor Xavier.  "I have an original character that would just be PERFECT for Kurt!  Her name is Kastarry LeBeau!  She's Remy's twin sister separated at birth and she's green and…"

"No." said Beast.  "No original characters."

"Oh very well." Said Professor Xavier sadly.

"How about…" started Beast.

"I know!" interrupted Professor Xavier.  "One of the X-Men and one of the Brotherhood.  That way, I can be in the story forbidding the romance!"

Beast paused.  "Well…all right." He said.  "But which two?"

"Not Kitty and Lance because that makes sense…" Professor Xavier said.  "How about Pietro and Jean?"

"Yes!" said Beast.  "That way Scott can get jealous!  And then Wanda can disapprove of their love!  And Rogue can be in love with Pietro but he doesn't love her and…"

"SH!!" said Professor Xavier.  "Don't give away all the points of the story!"  Professor Xavier then glared at the readers.  "Okay.  So we start with a romance between Jean and Pietro."

"Yes." Said Beast, cracking his knuckles.
