Disclaimer: I own nothing. Zip. Nada. Okay. Who's ever tried to teach their parents to roller skate? Anyone? Well, I have. And believe me, it was catastrophic.


"Hey guys! Look at what I found in Storage Room 9!" Pyro called.

A large tiger came running up to him and shifted into Victoria. Piotr, Remy, and Sabertooth followed behind her.

"What do you have in that crate?" Piotr asked.

"See for yourself!" Pyro opened it up.

"Aw, sweet!" Victoria said. "Roller skates! Hey, we can use the Training Dome as a skating rink!"

"Great!" Sabertooth said. "What's your size?"

Everyone looked at Victoria's big paw-like feet. They were about as big as Sabertooth's.

"Uh... What's yours?" she asked.

Sabertooth pulled out a pair of large skates.

"Those are huge!" Remy exclaimed.

"Well excuse me for having big feet!" Victoria retorted as she tugged on the skates.

Sabertooth handed out skates to the rest of the guys, then they headed to the Training Dome.


"Why haven't you put your skates on yet, Gumbo?" Sabertooth asked.

"Uh...." Remy couldn't find an answer.

"You don't know how to skate, do ya, kid?"

Remy shook his head no. Sabertooth grinned.

"Hey, guys! You wanna teach the Cajun to skate?" he called to the already skating Acolytes.

"Sure!" Pyro chirped

"Of course!" Piotr said

"I'll get the video camera!" Victoria called out. "After this is over, I can blackmail him for life!"


"You sure about this?" Remy asked while clinging to the wall.

"Heck, yeah! Now let go of the wall," Sabertooth said.

"Not until she puts away that camcorder!" Remy pointed at Victoria.

"Gumbo, if ya don't let go, I'll push ya," Sabertooth threatened.

"You wouldn't dare."

Sabertooth rolled up behind Remy and gave him a big shove.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!" Remy screamed as he shot forwards.

*CRASH*

"Oops. Guess I gave 'im too big a push," Sabertooth said as he looked at Remy's legs, which were sticking out of the wall. Piotr pulled him out and stood him back up. Victoria giggled as she taped it all.

"I'll teach you how to skate," Pyro offered. Remy groaned.

From one psycho to the next. At least he's not as strong as Sabes, Remy thought. Pyro gave him another push, but only to get him rolling.

"Okay, now push out with one foot," Pyro instructed.

*ZHOOP* Remy slid off to the side about five feet.

"Push out a little less than that, Rems! Now do the same with your other foot."

*ZHOOP*

"Less! As in softer!"

Remy rolled by.

"I think I got it! Victoria! You getting this?" he called out.

Geez. It's like filming "baby's first steps", Victoria thought.

"Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! I feel great! This is so fun! I- Uh-oh."

*CRASH*

"Piotr, would you care to do the honors?" Sabertooth asked. Piotr sighed and pulled Remy out of the wall again, who began to feverishly yank off his skates.

"That's IT!" he cried. "I'm not ever doing this again!" Piotr lumbered up to him and put a hand on Remy's shoulder.

"It is okay, comrade. You fall, crash, and trip, but that is just how you learn something." Piotr said.

"Yeah. Plus, getting your mishaps on tape will make me rich. So, c'mon, Rems. Keep skating!" Victoria added.

"Okay. I guess I could go on." Remy sighed.

A little bit later, Magneto was looking around the base for the Acolytes' training session. He eventually gave up and went in to the Traning Dome. When he got there he saw his team of tough mutants teaching a tripping and crashing-into-the-wall Remy how to roller skate, while Victoria zipped around, filming it all.
