Author's Notes: Hey there, everybody! It's me again. I decided to continue a story started by Cut Throat 666, about Todd and Fred finding love during Valentines Day. Cut Throat did a excellent job, but ended at chapter 7 in 2006. So I sent Cut Throat a message saying I'd be taking over. But if he doesn't want me to, I'll stop. But until then, please enjoy the changes I make as I go along.

Chapter 1: First Valentines

It is Valentines Day at Bayville High and everyone was coupling up and showing their affection to one another. All around, couples have gotten together a did what most kids did on Valentines Day. Snuggling, writing poems, having kissing sessions, etc. Well, not everyone…

Todd Tolansky and Fred Dukes sat at the only lunch table, that wasn't occupied by couples who were making kissy face with one another. Since Todd, AKA Toad was short, bug eyed, smelly and slimy, he hadn't a chance of getting a date. For Fred, AKA Blob, his immense weight and quick temper, most girls kept their distance. Basically, Toad and Blob were the only mutants that couldn't hide their abnormalities. They were both so disgusted with the sight of everyone that even Freddy lost his appetite.

"Man, this sucks!" Freddy complained as he tossed his half eaten sandwich in the trash can beside him. "How come everyone here gets a Valentine, but us?" His smaller friend merely shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

"Yeah, well…. After as many times I've been rejected yo, I've gotten kinda use to it by now." Fred raised an eyebrow, as he wiped the crumbs off his suspenders.

"You finally giving up on Wanda, Todd?" Wanda Maximoff, AKA Scarlet Witch was technically Todd's first crush. He's been after her ever since she came to the Brotherhood. But her cold and uncaring demeanor directed to Toad wasn't enough to make him stop.

"Yeah… I guess. She's been eyeing that Colossus guy and completely ignoring me." He looks down at him food for a moment, then slams his fist on the table.

It was a sad day for Toad when he found out about Wanda giving Colossus more attention then him…even though Todd saved her life and paid her the most attention. "It's not fair! I saw her first! I worshiped her! I loved her! Hell, I even rescued her and what do I get? Zilch. Nadda. Finite." Folding his arms, he lays his head down on the table. "This really sucks."

Later that day, Todd and Freddy met up with their two friends Lance Alvers, AKA Avalanche and Pietro Maximoff, AKA Quicksilver. Pietro was busy trying to open his busted locker. Pietro was so determined to open his locker that he actually placed both of his feet on the opposite sides of his locker and pulled. "UUURGH! Come on, damn you! Open! For God's sake open!"

"Pietro, give it up already!" laughed Lance, as he leaned against the wall. "It's not gonna open, okay? Just get the janitor and he'll…."

"No, it's not okay!" The speed demon interrupted. "This is my locker and never before have I had any problems opening it up! NUGH!" He continued the yank the door open, even as he continued to explain. "And I'm not gonna leave, until it OPENS!" He gave one more hard pull. Finally, his locker swung open, and Pietro became buried under a pile of Valentine cards and gifts from various girls who had a crush on him.

"Well, at least you got your locker open now." Lance snickered, helping Pietro to his feet. Cards with pink hearts piled up at their feet, and chocolate candies were scattered everywhere. "Now all's ya gotta do is put everything back." The silver haired boy squinted his eyes at his shaggy friend, and snarled.

"Shut up! At least I get Valentines, unlike some people."

"Ouch, yo." Toad grumbled, looking over at Fred.

"I've never gotten a Valentine in my entire life." Freddy looked down at his feet and studied the cards and designs. Because of his massive weight, no girl ever found him physically attractive, or wanted to show him any signs of affection.

"That was cold, Pietro." The earth mover growled, walking up behind Fred and Todd, and patted them on the back. "You know how hard it is for Toad and Blob when it comes to girls."

"Yeah, well….." Pietro paused and looked behind Freddy. "Uh… Freddy? I think there's someone behind you." Freddy turned around to saw a girl wearing an red oversized flannel shirt, with a black T-shirt and army green baggy cargo pants. She had long straight blond hair, that draped over the left side of her face. So only her right eye was visible. She had brown eyes and brown freckles. Fred also noticed that there were four rather tall girls standing behind the smaller one. They all were blond like her, but they wore more preppy clothes and had blue eyes.

The smallest girl looked very nervous and was hiding something behind her back. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. The blonde girl, who was about 5ft 9 rolled her eyes, and stepped forward. She had her long blond hair brushed backwards, showing off her bangs. She was wearing a cheerleading uniform, and was in fact still wearing her pom poms. Her name was Tiffany.

"Forgive my speechless sister." She spoke in a high, whiny voice. "But she has something she wants to give you…. Uh…. What's your name?"

Freddy blinked. "Uh… Fred. Fred Dukes."

"Whatever. Runt! Give it to him already, so we can get the hell out of here and go back to our "normal" lives."

The girl whom she referred to as Runt took a step forward and slowly brought out what she was hiding behind her back. Fred's eyes widened when he saw that it was a beautifully decorated, homemade Valentines heart. Runt handed it to him, turning 3 three shades of red, and began staring at her feet. Freddy was still speechless.

Another blonde spoke, she had short curly hair that she put up in pony tails, and who was also wearing a cheerleaders outfit. "If you haven't figured it out, which I'm pretty sure you haven't, our little sister likes you. Now ask her out already or else go away."

"Missy! I am appalled at your behavior!" Exclaimed the oldest blond, who had a strict business look to her. She wore a professional business shirt and skirt, that ended halfway below her knees. She wore glasses, had her hair tied back into a bun, and had on recently shined black high heels.

"Oh, come on, Sasha! The Runt has liked fatso here ever since he started coming to Bayville High! And has never told him, until like right now. She needs to get this done and over with. If he likes her, fine! If he doesn't like her, fine! I'm just sick and tired of seeing all of those portraits and sculptures of him all over our house. I swear if she makes another one, I'm going to scream!"

Runt became so embarrassed that she spun around ran away.

"Now look what you did, Missy!" Yelled Tiffany. "You know very well that she's going to tell daddy and we're all going to be in deep shit when we gets home."

"No sweat, Tiff…" Missy snickered, in a snotty, bratty way. "As long as we all keep our stories straight, daddy won't believe a word she says. You know that he likes us better than her."

Tiffany thought about it for a moment, and smiled evilly. "Yeah, you're right. He'll never believe a word she says anyways. Let's go girls." They all start to leave, but then Tiffany notices that her last sister. "Daisy, are you coming or what?"

The last sister had short blond hair, ending right below her ears. She was the tallest of all the sisters, standing around six feet tall. She was wearing a black leather vest, with a white tank top underneath it. There were rips and tears all over the legs on her blue jeans, showing the healed cuts on her legs. She was obviously different from her sisters because unlike them, she was athletic in the sense of muscles. Now, she wasn't freakishly ripped, but she was close to having the same muscle mass as Lance.

"Hold on…." She said in a gruff voice. "I still have a Valentine to give to the small one here." Hearing this, Todd jumped in horror "Come here!" Daisy said with a mischievous grin on her face. She then reached out and grabs Toad by both of his shoulders. Toad was about to freak out and call for help, when out of nowhere, Daisy closes the distance between her and Todd and give him a full on mouth kiss. It lasted about three seconds when she pulled away and giggled.

"Hee. Now you're gonna pick me up at 7 tonight, take me to an expensive French restaurant. Then, you are to take me to a movie of my choice, and take me home by midnight." When she looked at Toad, she was trying her best not to bust out laughing, resulting in embarrassing the boy further more. Todd was spaced out by the time the kiss ended. His hair stood on end, and his legs were wobbling like jelly.

But it was only temporary. He soon shook his head to get himself back to the land of reality, straightened his hair, and answered in a way no one would normally react. "B…but I don't have that kind of money to take ya out!" Todd stammered. The whole sudden kiss didn't bother him a bit, but what DID bother him was that 1) She was kinda scary, being muscular and taller. And 2) He had no money to do all the stuff the…ahem…lively girl wanted to do.

She placed a hand on top of his head, and grinned mischievously. "You will take me out on a date tonight…or else I will crush your skull in like a rotten melon. Okay?"

Now shaking in mortal fear, Todd swallowed hard, and nodded. "Y…yes, ma'am." Giggling triumphantly, Daisy kissed him on the cheek, and slugged him in the shoulder.

"Good. Remember, pick us up at 7pm…. Or it'll be Hell to pay, and more." Then she, along with her other sisters walked off.

"Why the hell did you ask him out?" Missy asked, pinching her nose and looking back at Toad. "I mean, like, EW! Have you not noticed the smell of ass in the air whenever he comes around?" The tomboyish girl merely snorted in an unladylike manner.

"I just happen to like the underdogs of the school." She admitted, sounding more proud then embarrassed. "They're cute when they're weak and struck with fear."

"Oh, you are so bad!"

All girls then walked away laughing evilly.

Todd turned to the others with fear in his eyes. "Help me… Please?"

Pietro held up his hands. "Sorry, Toad, but you're on your own on this one. Frankly, I'd like to follow you around while you're on your date and take pictures with my new digital camera." He began laughing at Toad's predicament. "Hell! I'll even give you the money to pay for everything, no strings attached."

"I hate you." Todd moaned, as he banged his head against the lockers in frustration.

Lance laughed and walked up beside Freddy, placing an elbow on his shoulder and leaned against him. "Looks like you and Toad finally got a Valentine, question is… What are you gonna do about it?"

"I…I don't know…" Fred mumbled, looking over the card given to him.

"You don't know?" Pietro shrieked. "I know you're dense Blob, but how fucking dense are you! I mean, for once a girl actually likes you, gives you a gift, and you don't even know what to do? Here's a little advice… Go…. To…. Her…. Ask…. Her…. Out…. Am…. I…. Speaking…. English…. To…. You?"

"Shut up, Pietro! I get what you mean. It's just…. No girl has ever given me a Valentine before."

"Which is why you should take advantage of the moment." Quicksilver replied in a tired tone. "And anyways, do you even know who those girls are?"

"No."

"Figures." Pietro sighed. "What about you guys?" Both Lance and Todd shook their heads no. Pietro slapped his forehead in annoyance. "I swear if I wasn't the popular one of the group, all of you would be out of the loop of everything. Those five girls are the Creed sisters! The most popular girls in our school…. Well, all of them except the one they call Runt."

"What's her real name?" Freddy asked.

"Hell if I know. I've talked to them before and that's all they refer to her as. Runt's more of the outcast/tomboy artist of the group. She's like I think 16 and is like 5ft 6, if you think about it Freddy, she's exactly the perfect height to give you a little somethin' somethin' if you know what I mean?" He winked pervertedly. But all he received were grossed out gags from Lance and Todd, and a blank, know nothing stare from Fred. "Anyway, they're all popular and have their strengths. Tiffany and Missy are head cheerleaders of the cheer squad. Tiff's more of the leader of the group, while Missy is the snoop. Sasha is the brains, she excels in all of the upper division classes and she's on the track team to boot. As for Todd's new girlfriend, Daisy, she's actually Duncan Mathews arch rival."

This caught Todd's attention. "Why is that, yo?"

"Because she and Duncan are both on the varsity football team and she is competing with Duncan to get Captain. If you start to get picked on or beat up by Duncan, I bet Daisy would be more than happy to pound Duncan to the ground. So…stay on her good side and keep her happy. Oh, and just for future references, whatever you do, don't make any of them cry or to piss them off. Because they will make your life a living Hell. I mean, they put one of those football jocks in the hospital for turning Missy down, just because he had a girlfriend already."

All of the boys gulped, except Freddy. "What about Runt?"

"What about her?" Pietro asked.

"You make the Creed sisters sound as though they all stick together, but it looks as though they abuse and don't respect their little sister. What's up with that?"

"I don't know. I think it's because she doesn't have the same mom as them or something. You'd have to ask Runt yourself. Anyway, if you really want to get to know her, now is your chance. Just head to the art department, which is on the other side of the building. You can usually find her sitting alone doing some artsy thing."

"Okay. Thanks Pietro."

"Hey, no prob. But… If you get into trouble with the Creed sisters', I'm not gonna be there to help bale you out."
