Chapter Nine
In March,the two couples decided that waiting any longer would be pressing their luck with Wade's ability to keep quiet about anything. So,they decide now was the time to head out, especially as the rumor mill claimed Logan would be back from his latest little 'vacation' tomorrow.
Wade arrived,with two suitcases and a carry on in hand. He had an additional pair of suitcases in the hall.
"...Wade,you know we're only going to be gone for the week right?" John asks,spying Wade's bags and marveling that the man had managed to pack more than both the women,combined.
Wade nods before stating " I know, I was looking at my luggage,and asked myself if it looked right,and then I decided 'To hell with it' and that I could just rough it. I did think about mailing the rest,but I didn't know what hotel we're staying in."
John rolls his eyes at this,and heads back to help Wanda with her luggage. She had a suitcase and a carry on, however,when he had tried to shove his things in with hers,she had freaked out on him. He had then quickly decided that $ 38 wasn't really that picked up his own suitcase as well as Wanda's luggage and went back out front.
Meanwhile, Remy and Rogue finished packing as well, they had a suitcase,a garment bag,and two carry ons,as they didn't mind mingling their from the many weeks of vacation,but they were used to it. They quickly join the others. Wanda was surprised by their lack of luggage, but Wade seemed almost ...insulted by the couple's luggage.
" Wait! You're going to your Wedding-slash-Honeymoon with only ONE bag?! What do you plan on wearing?" Wade demands.
" Wade,some people don't feel the need to pack their entire wardrobe to be gone a week,as shocking as that is to you." Remy states,gesturing towards Wade's luggage.
Wade gasps before stating " I can not believe this! How can you possibly think you have enough clothing? Fine I guess you can just go shopping while we're gone."
Wanda and Rogue rolls their eyes at him before heading out,the men quickly follow.
~O~
Several exhausting hours later (John insisted it was days) they arrived a their hotel. They quickly check in before Rogue and Remy decided they needed immediately play some poker,so dumping their luggage on the other three,they head off to the casino.
A few hours later, the pair returns to their suite. The two couples (and Wade) were staying in an apartment-like suite until the weddings,that were booked for the following day. The suite had two bedrooms,a sitting room with a pull out bed, and a kitchenette. There was a bathroom attached to each bedroom.
Wanda,John, and Wade were watching television and waiting for room service when Remy and Rogue arrived. Dinner rode up with them in the elevator,and so they all sat down to eat. John then changed the channel,and was sitting back down when Wade suddenly jumped up and pointed at the television,before screaming.
" Beware the pink dancing Christmas trees! They are out to get us all! Sure they look all nice and pretty,like there's nothing they would do to harm you, but that's just to lull you into a false sense of security, and pow they strike! I know you do not believe me, but they are dangerous!" Wade begins pacing in front of the window " I wonder if they are mutant trees? They are after all, pink...and dancing... in am I the only one who can see the danger that these trees rest of you just sit here and watch them as if there's nothing in the world out of the ordinary with this! Just look at them! Oh Shit, and now they're singing! Singing ,Dancing, Pink Christmas trees in JUNE! "
The others stare at him blankly, John wonders if it would help to point out that it's a children's cartoon show...and that he was pretty sure they weren't supposed to be Christmas trees. Wade was now waving his gun around still ranting about the trees, and the others slowly backed out of the room. Hopefully he would get over it soon, because they wanted to go the bed at some point. Remy briefly considered correcting Wade. After all,it was March,not June. He decided potentially getting shot wasn't something anyone should do the day before their wedding.
They had just reached the elevator,when Wade rushed out of their room,fully armed. They wondered how he managed to get his weapons past airport security,but now wasn't the time to ask. He spotted them,despite the attempt to hide behind a group of tourists.
" Ah Good,there you are! Come, We're off to destroy the evil Christmas Trees,before they can take over the world! The tyranny must end,there is no way we can just let this go. Your all X-men after all aren't you?" Wade states as he rushes to them.
" No." Come three voices as Rogue's adds " Not anymore."
" Wait,What?! You're NOT X-men?! What. the. hell?! Then why are you always disappearing and running off to do stuff! Have you been avoiding me?! Tell me that you haven't been avoiding me ! I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! I AM NOT MAKING A SCENE! I WILL NOT SING DISNEY SONGS!"Wade rants.
"...what's he talking about?" John whispers to Remy as Wade continues to argue with someone no one else could hear, before he began randomly singing 'Reflection' from Mulan. The other stare at him , slightly afraid. The elevator now long gone as the tourists had rushed into it. No doubt by now they were telling security what had happened. Sighing Remy drags Wade back towards their suite as Wade begins a stirring rendition of 'No Way Out' from Brother Bear.
John,Wanda and Rogue reluctantly follow behind,and they close their door just as the elevator opens, security looking around for the guy with guns the tourists had complained heard someone loudly singing 'Once upon a Time in New York City" from Olivier and Company behind one of the doors as they headed down the hallway.
" Hey Remy!" Wade states cutting himself off and looking at the other man,who was currently rubbing his temples "I think that song's about you!"
Remy looks up at Wade and sighs before saying " And whys that Wade?"
" Because it's about an abandoned orphan who's trying to find a better life for himself...in New York." Wade replies as he struggles with the ropes. " Hey when did you guys tie me up? Why would you do that?"
"...Because Wade,you were threatening to go destroy the creators of a children's TV show,and we don't want you to get us involved in anything that may delay our wedding." Rogue replies as she tightens the ropes.
" I won't I'm over it, I swear!" Wade says,while trying to untie himself" Besides I'm now far more upset to learn the four of you quit the X-men."
" Wade, John,Remy, and I were never X-men." Wanda says in a tired voice.
" No,I know Remy was an X-men, he joined right after he saved Storm, and he stayed even though a bunch of them didn't trust him. " Wade says " No wait! That was in the comics, never mind."
The other four choose to ignore him,as he begins singing again,this time he sings the entire soundtrack from The little Mermaid. They eventually untie him before going to bed,all hoping he behaves himself,but deciding not to go after him if he wanders off.
~O~
The net morning,Remy and Rogue wake up, to Wade jumping on the end of their bed and yelling loudly " Hey get up! It's time for your Wedding!" before running out the door. They hear him yelling the same thing a moment later,to the other couple.
" Do you think we should remind him that the wedding isn't until this afternoon?" Rogue wonders.
" No, I think I'll just take him down to the casino, and drop him off at the poker tables." Remy replies.
" Okay,but if you're not back in an hour,I'm coming to find you." Rogue threatens.
Remy then dresses quickly,and drags Wade away. A few minutes later,Rogue comes out front and she and Wanda head out to the hair dressers. Rogue reminds John on the way out to go collect Remy if he isn't back in a few nods,as he sits on the couch,and picks up the remote.
" And don't get so involved you forget to get dressed." Wanda states as they leave.
They then head down to the salon, Wanda planning to go buy a dress,Rogue had bought hers a couple of weeks ago. A few hours later,the girls head back upstairs. John is still staring at the TV,in his pajamas...alone.
Rogue immediately goes back out to find her future husband,while Wanda walks over and turns off the TV.
" Hey! I was watching that." John states.
"We have exactly 93 minutes before the wedding. You can watch Spongebob later...besides you've already seen that one." Wanda replies,heading off to the bathroom to change into her new dress.
Grumbling,John goes to change changing into his suit, John returns to his cartoons,while trying in vain to flatten his hair. Wanda returns a few minutes later,and rolling her eyes at him, comes up behind him with the hairspray and a comb.
By the time the other two return,Wanda has managed to flatten his hair. They were both now watching the Cartoons show and laughing at it. Remy and Rogue roll their eyes at the other pair before heading to their room to change.
~O~
Wade catches up with them right outside the Chapel, rushing up to them as they were about to go in. " Oh thank goodness." Wade states " I know you guys a hard time finding me,luckily I set an alarm on my phone to remind me."
They head in after they all tell him they're glade he made it, and wait for the clerk to set them up. Both couples opt for the 'traditional' package...traditional music,and vows. As well as photos. Rogue planned on buying two sets of photos and mailing a set to the mansion while they were on their honeymoon. Hopefully,they would all calm back down by the time they got back home.
After the weddings, they pick up their photos and head back upstairs to pack. Wanda and John are flying out to California for a week, and Remy and Rogue are flying to Hawaii. Wade is headed home to give Rogue's pictures to Logan. They discussed it and decided it was the best way to make sure the mansion got them before they got home.
~O~
Wade walks into the mansion ( he ignored the security measures that were shooting at him,and yelling at him to 'stand down' ). Logan comes out to the foyer to meet him.
" Hey,Jimmy! I brought you a present from the Striped one."Wade says cheerfully as he pulls out the envelope of pictures.
" What's this?" Logan asks,cautiously.
" Wedding pictures." Wade states,handing it over.
" WHAT?!" Logan screams,causing several others to finally come into the foyer ( Logan had told them to let him handle it)
"... Wedding. Photos. You know,from their Wedding in Vegas." Wade states again.
Logan growls and walks out the door, as Xavier rolls forward and except the envelope. Wade shrugs,and walks back out,which was a much nicer trip now that the house wasn't shooting at him.
Kitty, Jean, and Jubilee immediately decide that they were throwing them a reception. The girls briefly wondered why they choose to elope, but then Logan stormed back in and they remembered why.
Logan paced in Xavier's office,ranting about Remy destroying everything. " He tricked her into moving out and leaving the team. Then he tricked her into that stupid 'vacation'. Now he's tricked her into this wedding thing! I don't know what his game is,but I know he's setting her up to hurt her somehow!" Logan states.
" Logan,as hard as it is for you to hear. You need to stop this. I do not believe the boy is trying to hurt her. He loves her. You drove her away, by constantly pushing her to ignore her friends. You were who they were running from when they went on vacation...and you're the reason they decided to elope. Because she was afraid of you making a scene at the wedding." Xavier states calmly.
"...How do you know that,Chuck?" Logan questions.
" Because,Logan, she told me." Xavier says,sighing." She is still coming to her weekly sessions,she still called for them while she was on vacation. I knew about the wedding and offered her well wishes on behalf of the school. The girls are planning a reception for them when they return home. I want you to promise not to start a fight at the party. If you can't then please just take the weekend off."
Logan stares at Xavier. He had known about it all? How was that even possible. He knew more than Logan,and Logan had hired Wade to spy on them!
" I'm going to invite both of them,as well as John and Wanda to join us." Xavier continues " But they will not accept if you are constantly accusing Remy of things he hasn't done."
Logan's eye twitches at the idea of the other three in the mansion. However he nods,he wants Rogue to come home. If that means having to deal with her husband, he could try to make nice. " Okay Chuck. I'll give him a chance, but if he hurts her..."
Xavier nods and Logan heads out of the office,he needs some aspirin and maybe a drink.
