Chapter 2
Girls Day Out
To Toad's dissmay, she took a bath. She took one for about 10 minutes and when she emerged from behind the bathroom door, she found Mystique standing on the other side.
"What the hell?"
Mystique leaned down and sniffed the small girl, "Nope. Go back inside."
"What? But I did as you said!"
"And I'm happy, but you are not clean enough. If you're to try on clothes, then you need to smell like a lovely rose. Not like a pig that fell into a bog."
"B-B-But-"
"Bath. Now."
"Grrrrr!" she turned back around and got herself ready for a shower, which lasted 10 minutes as will. When she came back out, she found Mystique still standing there. Mystique sniffed her and pointed back at the bathroom, "OH, COME ON!"
"Now, Toad." she put a different kind of soap in Toad's hand, "Try this one. It's pommegranite."
The poor girl had to take 3 more showers, before she had had enough.
"I-I-I a-a-ain't t-t-takin' anymore sh-sh-showers! All of th-th-th-the hot waters g-g-g-gone."
Mystique sniffed her again, "Hmm close enough I guess." she then handed Toad some deoderant, a hair brush, and some of Wanda's clothes.
"What the hell ya want me to do with Wanda's clothes?"
"You're clothes stink to high heaven and don't fit you anymore. So, you must make do with Wanda's."
"She ain't gonna kill me for wearin' these, is she?"
"No. I told her if she does, then I'll make her take your place."
Toad let out a sigh of relief, she looked through the clothes, then started snickering.
"Something funny, Toad?"
Toad began laughing as she held up a pair of Wanda's clean panties, "It looks like I finally found a way to get into Wanda's panties. Ha Ha Ha" just then she happened to see Wanda storming down the hall towards toward's her with a look that intended to kill. "Uh-Oh..." she dropped everything in her arms, except the panties, and hugged onto Mystique from behind for protection, "Mommy, make the bad lady go away!"
"Wanda. Remember what I said."
Wanda stopped a few feet away from them, her hands up; squeezing at an invisible neck, "I want to kill him! Just let me kill the little bug sucker! Please?"
"If you do this, then you take her place."
Wanda paused for a moment, "It would almost be worth it."
"Wanda." Mystique folded her arms and gave her a warning glare.
"Okay, fine!" Wanda huffed and snatched the panties out of Toad's hand, "But he's going to have to get him own pair of panties." with that she turned around and stomped away, until she dissapeared into her room, slamming the door shut.
"Phew That was a close one. Thank's, Myst- Uh... Why are you smiling like that again?"
"You called me mommy."
"Uh... I was just playing around, yo. Ya know... Ha Ha"
Mystique leaned down and caressed her face, "Oh, but my dear child, I took it quite seriously." a glint sparked from her eyes, "Are you going to stand there and tell me to my face that you did mean it? It would break my heart dearly."
"Uh Uh Uuuuuh... No?"
"Good." her smile spread even wider, "Then since you acknowledge me as your dear mommy... That means I get to use my motherly insticts to pick out whatever clothes I think is best for my lil' Therressa."
"Therressa?"
"Or would you rather I call you Terri or Tiffany? Or perhaps Talia? Mmmm You know? Talia seems a much more suiting name for you."
"Uh Uh Uh Uh"
"Now get dressing me dear. Mommy will be waiting for you downstairs." she patted Toad's head and walked away.
"Uh Uh Uh Uh"
"You better hurry, my dear. You don't want to keep you dear mother waiting. Now do you?"
Suddenly there was an errupts sound of multiple males falling to the floor and laughing hysterically.
Toad's face went several shades of red, "THIS IS BULLSHIT!" she screamed as she grabbed everything off of the floor and ran back into the bathroom.
It took her about 30 minutes before she finally emerged from the bathroom. It wouldn't have taken her so long, but she had a very hard time figuring out how to work Wanda's bra. She eventually game up and finished dressing. When she came downstairs, she walked over to Mystique and put the bra into her hand.
"Why aren't you wearing the bra?"
"Because it's stupid."
"You need to wear a bra."
"Why?"
"Because, Toad-"
"Hey, Toad!" Pietro called from the living room, "Are ya cold?"
"Huh?"
"Hey, Fred. I think the chickens done, how about you?" Lance chuckled.
"Don't run to fast Toad. Ya might fall and poke someone's eye out." Fred roared.
Toad finally figured out what they were all laughing at and covered her breasts out of embarrassment, "SHUT UP! It's not my fault I couldn't get the damn thing on! Whoever made those things are totally evil."
"Yeah, to a girl. But to us manily men," Pietro stood up in the recliner like a pirate on a small boat, "They be the chest to the burried treasure we be lookin' for. Argh"
Lance and Fred fell down on the floor laughing so hard that their faces turned red.
Mystique put a hand on Toad's shoulder, "Ignore them. They're just being immature. Please, try to put the bra back on?"
"I can't. I tried everyway I could possibly think, but it just won't latch." Toad was nearly on the verge of tears from embarrassment.
Mystique looked at the bra, then at Toad again, "Unfold your arms." Toad did as she was told, "I think I know what you're problem is. You are a couple of sizes bigger than Wanda."
"Well, at least you'll know it that it ain't you're ugly face that guys' will be looking at."
"Shut up, Pietro!" Toad looked turned her face away, so that the others wouldn't see her crying.
Mystique looked at her, then turned to Pietro, "That's enough, Pietro."
"I'm just having a little fun Mystique. Toad knows I'm just teasing."
"I wouldn't count on that. Now you had better stop or else, I'll call Wanda down here to do the same to you that she did to Toad."
"(gulp) Yes, ma'am. Sorry, Toad."
"Let's just get out of here!"
"Alright. We'll be back later this evening. Fred, you're in charge of dinner tonight. Everyone clean up the place while we're out."
About 30 minutes later, Mystique and Toad were at the mall. She dragged Toad through all of the clothing departments, shoe departments, bath and bubbles, and make up departments that the mall had to offer. Mystique had the young girl try on outfit after outfit and dress after dress for 5 hours straight. The clothes were a variety of floresent pinks and yellows, to baby blue and ruby reds and midnight blacks. Toad tried on clothes at were in the styles of formal dresses, buisness suites, tom boy, punk, and preppy teens. Much to her horror, Mystique even had her modle a tutu for her.
By the time six o'clock rolled around, Toad crawled out of the dressing room, and grabbed onto Mystique leg, "Please! No more! I am sooooo tired and hungry!"
Mystique looked at her watch, "Hmm Well... It is nearly dinner time." she tapped her chin, thinking deeply, "We'll go home."
"Thank you, God!"
"Right after we go to 3 more stores."
"GAGH!"
Mystique walked out of her grasp and she laid on the floor face down, "Why do you hate me, God?"
It was about 8 o'clock before they finally made it home.
All of the Brotherhood were downstairs waiting for them when they finally came through the door.
"Fred. Lance. Pietro. Be a gentleman and take our bags will you? We've had a very looong day and are tired." cooed Mystique.
"Yes, ma'am." they all took the bags and were looking out the door, "Where's Toad?"
"Toad is-" Mystique turned around, then looked down, "Oh, for the love of God, Toad. You do not look that bad. Come out from behind me."
"No! They'll make fun of me."
"Talia Tolanski! You come out from behind me this instant!"
"Talia?" they all said in unison.
"Yes, that's going to be Toad's new name when she goes to school with you on Monday."
"What are you going to tell everyone, when they ask where Toad is at?" asked Pietro.
"Tell them that he got caught shop lifting and is spending a few months in juvinile hall. Now, Talia. Please, come out from behind me. Everyone is waiting to see your new look."
"You promise they won't laugh?"
"I give my word." she shot everyone a warning look.
Toad emerged from behind Mystique. She was wearing a long, pastel, pink dress, with a cream white blouse, and cream white short heeled dress shoes. Her hair was cut in a short, feminem hair cut, her bangs were trimmed, and parted off to the side out of her eyes.
"Don't slouch, Talia. That's bad posture for a lady."
Lance and Pietro were doing everything that they could not to laugh. They were even stepping on eachother's feet to keep them from laughing. Wanda snorted, but she didn't laugh. While Fred simply stared speechlessly at his best friend.
"Well? What do you think? Doesn't she look like a lovely young lady?"
"Oh, yeah." struggled Pietro, "Totally."
"Would you like any help taking your things upstairs... Ma'am."
Toad wanted to spit goop at them, but Mystique put her hand over her mouth, before she got the chance. "Now. Now. You don't want to get your new clothes all dirty do you?"
She swallowed her lugie and shook her head.
"Good girl."
"Grrrrr"
Mystique walked into the around the house, examining the progress of the childrens cleaning, "Very good. I'm glad you all took me seriously."
"Oh, it wasn't no big." said Lance, "We cleaned here and there."
"And when we saw how wonderful evreything look, we just had to make our own rooms sparkle just as everything else we cleaned." said Pietro with a proud, innocent voice.
Mystique and Toad looked at them suspiciosly as they tried to their smiling faces.
Toad shook her head and began heading upstairs, "I'm goin' to my room. You guys gonna bring my stuff or what?"
"Oh, yes. By all means. We'd be happy to help you, miss."
"Pietro... I swear I'm gonna-"
Mystique wagged a finger, "Uh Uh Ah, Talia."
She gritted her teeth, "I'm gonna thank you ever so kindly for being a... Gentleman and wish you the best for the rest of the night."
"Why thank you, Talia. You are such a fine lady indeed."
"Yeah... And you are certainly something else as well."
Pietro, Lance, and Fred all followed Toad up the stairs, with bags in hand.
Mystique turned to Wanda and was about to speak when they suddenly hear a really loud raging scream.
"! I'M GOIN' TO KILL YOU FUCKERS'!"
Suddenly all three boys came racing down the stairs, laughing hysterically. Fred fell at the bottom of the stairs, but got up shortly after Pietro ran right over him, and Lance hopped the railing. They all went to hide behind Mystique, as Toad caming bouncing off of the walls, and lundging towards them like a bat out of hell.
Mystique morphed grabbed her in mid-air flight and held her tightly around the waist. "TOAD! Stop this at once! What's gotten into you?"
"THEM! THOSE FUCKERS RUINED MY ROOM!"
"What did they do, Toad?"
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU ALL!"
Mystique sighed, she knew that Toad was too hysterically to talk any sense into, so she simply carried the girl under her right arm up the stairs. Toad's rear end was facing her and her face was towards the boys. Toad kicked and screamed curses at them all, until they were out of view. Finally she reached Toad's room and saw why the young girl was so enraged.
The room had been painted bright pink, the bed was turned into a princess canopie with pink see through curtains, pink bedding and pink pillows, all of her original belongings were gone and replaced with a variety of stuff animals, even a giant stuffed unicorn sitting on her bed ,and posters of hot guys on her wall.
Mystique set her down gently, "Give me your shoes and your blouse." Toad gave them to her with a huff, "Now you may go kill them."
She didn't need a second thought and she went running down the stairs, screaming like a banshee. The sounds of all three boys screaming and running around could be heard and the sounds of random items breaking as well. By the end of it all, Lance had a black eye and a few bruises on his face. Pietro surprisingly enough, got some of his hair ripped out, got kneed in the gut, and bitch slapped furiously. Fred on the other hand made out better than the two delinquents, because his powers protected him. But he didn't come out unscathed. Toad had taken the cake that he had made for desert and smashed it into his face.
Mystique analized Toad's handy work and nodded with satisfaction, "Feel better?"
"Yes." she cracked her knuckles, "Very much."
"Good. Well, now I don't have to worry about making you change your room, since the boys did it for you."
"What? You mean you want me to leave my room like that?"
"At least until Wanda can change you back. Besides... It looks so much better this way."
"Uh Uh Uh"
Lance looked glared up at Mystique, "You mean, you let him beat us up, even though you were going to have his room changed later on?"
"Well, you did do it without my permission. So that's a strike against you. But it doesn't matter now. That's another task taken care of, so that means I can spend more time teaching Toad how to be a lady this weekend."
"You are an evil woman."
"I know. Talia, dear. Why don't you and Wanda set the table for all of us, so that we may eat." she walked toward the kitchen, but stopped at Fred. With her finger, she scooped up some of the cake, and tasted it, "Too bad about desert. I would have been deliscious. I know you probably made an extra cake for yourself for later, so why don't you go ahead and pull that one out for everyone to share." then she walked off before he had a chance to protest.
