Again. They left him again. Todd Tolansky was in his room in the Brotherhood house in Bayville. Lance Alvers, Fred Dukes, and Wanda and Pietro Maximoff had just left in Lance's jeep. They were going out to party and probably wouldn't be back until the morning. Todd was supposed to go with them but as normal, he was left behind. The fuckers. Todd thought. 5th time this month I'm sick of it. Maybe there's an X-Geek to hassle.

Meanwhile, at the X-Mansion

Scheisse. Again. Everyone but me is sick again. Verdammt. One of the younger mutants came home from school with a stomach bug a week ago and the whole mansion got the bug. Except Kurt. Now he has to go and get groceries and medicine. As of now, Kurt was walking through the woods towards the store. *rustle rustle* Kurt stopped. *rustle* Kurt's ear perked up.

"Aargh!" a voice yelled. The next second Kurt was pinned to the ground by Todd.

"Toad! Get off of me!" Kurt yelled. Kurt pushed Todd off of him. Todd backed away in a crouching position. Kurt stood up and immediately went into defense mode.

"Vhat do you vant? Vhy are you 'ere?" Kurt asked.

"I'm bored dawg. 'e rest of the B'hood left me to go 'party' so I figure I hassle one of you X-Freaks". Todd said then lunged at Kurt. They rolled around each trying to pin the other down. Kurt finally pinned the younger boy to the ground.

"You're zest bowed?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah, but what can you do 'bout it, foo?" Todd said. Kurt loosened his grip on Todd.

"Vell, Ve could do sumzing sivil." Kurt offered. Todd stopped struggling.

"Like, as friends? Maybe..What do you have in mind, fuzzy?" Kurt sat up.

"Vell, Ve could play a bowed game." Todd loved games.

"What game, yo?" He asked.

"I don't know, tvister or sumzing like zat." Kurt replied.

"Really? Where?" Todd asked. Kurt shrugged.

"I don't know but if I get off of you, will you attack me?" Kurt asked.

Todd shook his head.

Kurt got off the younger boy. Todd sat up.

"Well, why not my house, foo? No one's home." Todd said.
