Quite a bit going on in this chappy, so if you don't understand you'll have to bear with me, write it in a review and I'll try to answer that for you.


Chapter 4- Meals and Deals

Storm awoke in the morning and looked over at her clock, 09.04 AM, flashed at her. She was amazed she had actually managed to get back to sleep after the fiasco a few hours earlier. She shuddered at the thought of her dream, Her major fear being enclosed spaces, and also the fear of losing control of her emotions, The dream encapsulated both. She was still wearing her dressing gown, which she had neglected to take off, so she just got out of her bed and proceeded into the bathroom for her usual morning ritual of getting up.


Across the hall, Kurt, Bobby and Evan were already up and atom. Part of their plan was to wake up early, so they could put there plans into action first thing.

"Ok dudes, you know what to do?" Evan asked,

"I vill go get Rogue, and Kitty to help us." Kurt replied tiredly, and Bobby also piped in,

"I will ask Jean to make a picnic basket for Ororo."

"Good, and I'll get Logan. Now are we ready to initiate faze one, Getting Storm out?"

"Yes Sir." Bobby and Kurt replied mocking Evans army like way of planning. Evan gave them the evil eye, and then opened up his bedroom door, so each guy could go and carry out their given orders.


Kurt Bamfed into Kitty and Rogues room, which they were currently sharing, as Rogues room was now being cleaned, removing mud and glue from carpets was a nightmare.
Both were sleeping soundlessly, until a roar was heard. They immediately sat bolt upright looking around confused as to what was going on.
After wiping sleep from their eyes, they both shot death glares, at the now visible Kurt. who stood holding a microphone, he was smiling sheepishly.

"Kurt, ahm gunna KILL YA!" Rogue shouted, lunging forward at Kurt, who bamfed over to Kitty's side of the room. This meant Rogue landed on the floor, causing her rage to increase.

"Get Out NOW" Rogue barked angrily at Kurt.

"Wait a minute, before you kill ze fuzzy guy, listen please."

"Like, what do you want Kurt? It's like 9 in the morning." Kitty asked rather annoyed, but not as much as her room mate, who stood shooting death glares at Kurt.

"Well out with it elf" Rogue grumbled.

"Ok, vell, ve vere vondering, if you and Kitty vould be interested in helping repair Storms garden." Kurt asked quickly.

"Who's We?" Rogue enquired

"Evan, me and Bobby."

"Like, we would love to help repair Storms garden, she's been really nice to us, and I think it would be totally nice if we helped her." Kitty said in her chirpy voice.

"What? Ah aint helping" Rogue replied realising Kitty said we.

"Oh come on Rogue, She's like helped you out before, don't ya think it would be nice if we did something kind back?" Kitty moaned at Rogue, pulling off her best puppy dog face, "And besides, it'll be totally fun!" "Fahne ah'll help. But only cause she's been so nice to meh, also cause Kurt and Bobby would most lahkely destroy the garden more." Rogue sighed knowing Kitty had won. Kitty screamed and started jumping around the room in glee. Kurt also smiled, and hugged his sister.

"I knew you veren't really evil Rogue." Kitty stifled a giggle at the remark, but Rogue was not impressed. Before Kurt realized, Rogue had walked over to where he was stood and hit him on the back of the head.

"Ow zat hurt."

"Good, Next tahme think befor' ya speak." Rogue deadpanned. Before grabbing her clothes to go get up.


Bobby meanwhile was tracking down Jean. He couldn't find her anywhere; she wasn't in the lounge, Kitchen, Rec room, or in the sublevel. Bobby walked down to the med lab, hoping she would be helping out Mr McCoy.

"Can I be of any assistance to you, Bobby?" Hank asked, seeing bobby looking around for someone.

"Erm…well…have you seen Jean?" Bobby asked.

"Well no I haven't, perhaps she is in the kitchen" Hank said hoping to have helped.

"No I've already looked there."

"Maybe she's still sleeping"

"No its not like Jean to lie in, oh well thanks anyway Mr McCoy." Bobby replied turning away to further search the mansion.

"Any time Bobby, oh while your hear, let me just take a look at your medical file… oh it seems your just in time for your rubella inoculation." Said Hank picking up Bobby's medical files on his desk.

"What?"

"Its time for your rubella inoculation. I notice you haven't had yours yet, and beens as your hear now. Don't worry it will only take a second." Hank then proceeded to pick up a long syringe from out of a cabinet. Bobby noticeably paled at this, but followed Hank over to a chair.


Jean walked into the Med bay after taking a long drive with Scott around Bayville. Jean was clearly happy; after all, Scott had just asked her to go steady. She walked through the doors into the ward, and noticed a familiar person, lying unconsciously in one of the beds. Mr McCoy also walked through the door, which slightly startled her.

"Why Jean, you look very content today." Hank said noticing Jeans evident smile.

"Thank you Hank, I am, Scott just asked me to go steady with him."

"Its about time." Hank smiled back

"What happened to Bobby?" Jean asked looking at Bobby unconscious figure on one of the beds.

"Oh I gave him his rubella inoculation and he fainted. He should be fine in a few minutes." Jean almost laughed at this, Bobby acted like such a macho man sometimes, and often bragged about the fights he's been in as an X-man, yet here he is, fainted because of a little injection.

"I'll watch over him till he wakes up then Hank, You go get some breakfast, before everyone else gets up". Hank nodded in gratitude at this and walked out towards the stairs.

10 minutes later, Bobby had fully recovered and looked up to a cheerful Jean.

"Jean? Hey its Jean, aww man I'm so glad I found you, I need a favour." Bobby said realising the person he was supposed to be looking for was right in front of him. Jean was a bit taken aback by his sudden outburst of speech, not 30 seconds ago, he was unconscious .

"Ok, what is it?" Jean asked suspiciously.

"Well, you see, Evan and Kurt played this prank on Rogue, So funny, but they managed to upset Storm doing it. So I was wondering if you could perhaps make a picnic basket?" Bobby said quickly, leaving out several details.

"Wait a Sec, so what do you have to do with this? Why a picnic basket?"

"Lets just say, I'm a nice person and would help out a friend. The picnic baskets a secret that I cannot tell under direct instruction." Bobby winked

"Why do I get the feeling your somehow involved in upsetting Storm?"

"I dunno, why do I get the feeling, your hairs not naturally red."

"I'm sorry, what?" Jean asked shocked. Bobby then continued to pull out a empty box of 'cherry red, Garnier Nutrisse' hair dye, from his back pocket. He had brought this along as he figured he'd need bribery to get Jean to help him.

"Convenient that it's the same colour as your hair, isn't it." Bobby grinned.

"Fine I'll help make this picnic basket, but don't show that box to ANYONE." Jean responded, no longer as cheery as she was.

"Cross my heart, it's a deal." Bobby said drawing an imaginary cross over his heart then shaking his hand with Jeans.


20 minutes previous

Evan, after making sure Kurt and Bobby knew what to do, proceeded in completing his task, to find Logan.
He found Wolverine in the garage, as usual, fixing his bike, as usual.
Logan was underneath his motorcycle, adjusting a bolt beneath the fuel tank. Evan walked over to where Wolverine was and poked him in the side.
Logan wasn't expecting this and ended up trying to sit up to quickly and banging his head on his motorbike.
Evan took a few steps back as he knew Logan would now be angry at this interruption.
"What d'ya want porcupine can't ya see im busy?" Logan grumbled.

"Hah, yea, sorry, didn't mean to startle you." Evan started nervously, Logan just grunted and went back to fixing his bike.

"Its about aunty O." Evan pressed forward, this caught Logan's attention.

"What's wrong with her?" Logan asked seriously, as he knew Ororo wasn't right after what happened earlier this morning.

"Oh nothing, erm well, I was just wondering really."

"Yea, spit it out kid, I got work to do."

"If you would take aunty O out." Evan pleaded, Logan laughed this.

"You want me to take storm out, why?"

" Because, she's been upset lately and it hasn't stopped raining since that prank me and Kurt pulled. So we were going to, well make it up to her by like, fixing her garden."

" So you want me to keep her out your hair." Logan said bluntly

"That and well, hopefully stop it raining, cause she'll be happy, please" Evan begged.

"Ok kid, why not, Ororo could do with a break, where to though?"

"Well…"

Even then went on to tell Logan the plan him, Kurt and Bobby made up. Logan would take Storm out for a picnic, then they'd go to the cinema, followed by a romantic candlelit dinner. Hopefully that would keep them at bay for about 6-7 hours. All the while, Rogue, Kitty, Evan, Kurt and Bobby would repair and replant storms beloved garden. So far everything was going to plan, now all they needed was to get Storm to stop the rain.
