A/N: First x-men: evo fic, and first fic I have ever posted at ff.net, so be brutal, I am ok with it, I wanna know how to write better and blah, blah, etc..
Also: Sorry bout all the typos that are sure to be all over the place, I type really fast and no matter how many times I proofread these things I tend to never see all my mistakes until after I have posted them.
Battle of the Sexes: Chapter 1
"What makes you think I have to listen to your every command?!"
"Well there's a reason why the professor put me in charge, and not you!"
"Oh yeah? You couldn't last three days as "leader" without me and you know it, Scotty Boy!"
"God, Scott, like, just admit that you're a pushy leader and shut up already! I'm, like, trying to watch television here."
Scott imperceptibly rolled his eyes, and glared at Jean "You couldn't last one day in my position, Jean!"
"Ja, Jean, do you guys really need to argue zis? Scott is za leader, so lets move on and let Kitty and Kurt vatch tv!"
"Shuddup, Kurt." Jean turned back to Scott, "You wanna put your money where your mouth is, Scott?" Jean crossed her arms stubbornly. "You want to prove you could even complete one mission without me?"
"Fine! You just have to prove you don't crack as team leader on one mission."
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"C'mon, Kitty, we have a bet to win!" "Yeah, c'mon Kurt!"
-"What?"
-"Vat?"
Kitty and Kurt look at each other and shrug, then follow their apparent leaders out of the living room.
"Are you sure we should be letting them do this? I mean, the six of them alone in the wilderness for three days, is it safe?" Logan had been trying to convince Charles Xavier to cancel the trip/competition that Scott and Jean had talked him into allowing. It wasn't the competition that bugged him really, but just what he feared might end up happening to him. "No, I'm not sure." Charles replied. "In fact, I am certain the six of them wouldn't be safe alone in the wilderness for three days, which is precisely why you and Storm will accompany them." Logan grimaced, his fears had come true. "But Charles-" "No buts, Logan. Ororo has already agreed to go. Now, your orders are simple. You are to stay with Scott, Kurt, and Evan, and you are not to interfere with anything they do unless serious risk is involved. Ororo has the same orders, but will be watching over Jean, Rogue, and Kitty." The old man smiled, he was glad his students were testing and learning their abilities, both as mutants and as perspective members of a team.
"Uhg! Like, what a waste of a totally good CD player!" Kitty said, while tossing a CD by some band whose name she couldn't even pronounce aside, and ripping the head phones from Rogue's ears, while putting an *NSYNC CD into the player.
"Hey! Did it occur to you that I was listening to that, or that the CD player is mine?!" Rogue grabbed the diskman back from Kitty, muttering something about it being tainted by boy band germs now. "Hey, like, I want to listen to music too, ya know?" Kitty grabbed the portable device again. "Then you should have brought your own!" Rogue grabbed it again. "Well Professor X said no electronics allowed, so you shouldn't have brought this one anyways!" Kitty grabbed the CD player again. "Well Ah did bring it and it's mine so give it back!" Rogue reached for the diskman, but Kitty pulled it out of reach at the last second.
"Will both of you shut up?! I am trying to think here!" Jean shouted, leaning over the back of her seat, glaring at her younger teammates. "Nice to you see you have such control over your team, leader." Scott snorted from beside her. "I am not even going to dignify you with a response." Jean announced, plopping back down in her seat, while Rogue and Kitty continued to argue. "Ooooooooo, smack down." Scott muttered sarcastically, and went back to looking over his map.
"I don't even see why I have to be here." Evan sighed, sulking further down in his seat. "Ja, tell me about it. If you ask me, ve should just leave Scott and Jean in za middle of novhere and see who make sit out first, instead of dragging us along." Kurt agreed. "Psh, I am missing the Nicks game, did they even think about that? Noooo, they have to go prove to everyone they are better then each other, and make Evan miss the most
important game of the season." Evan complained.
The various conversations and arguments resumed, as the van finally pulled up to the park entrance. "Here we are, kiddies." Logan announced flatly from the drivers seat, as he jumped out and went to the entrance booth to sign in for their "camping" reservations.
"Ah, smell that fresh mountain air!" Scott said, stretching as he hopped out of the van. "Yeah, whatever." Rogue muttered, elbowing past him. "Like, I said I'm sorry!" Kitty called out, tossing the broken pieces of Rogue's former CD player back into the van. "This is a good day for humiliating Scott. I can feel it!" Jean called out happily, crawling out of the van followed by a less then happy Kurt and Evan
"Alright, here's the deal," Logan announced, handing different maps to Jean and Scott. "These are your teams' starting points, and these," He tossed a green burlap sack to the girls and boys teams, "Are your survival supplies. You can only use what is in them, and nothing brought from home." He glanced at Rogue and Kitty. "You have three days to make it to points and back here, and the winning team…..wins. Now, to prove that you went all the way, there are items at certain points from the start to back here, and you must collect all of them in order to win, they too are marked on the maps. So, let's get started." Logan grinned, maybe this wont be so bad.

Alright, there's the first chapter! Whatcha think? Ok, so it starts out really dull, but the disaster parts ought to come in soon, and hopefully that will spark it up a bit.
