"What's deh secret?" Remy said in a surprisingly calming voice instead of what Toad expected, compared to his sparking red and black eyes that screamed angry.
"Secret? Oh, the sauce? The secrets slime, yo! Slime!"
"What?"
"Oh, nothin'. He he he."
"How come Rogue calls y' all by y' names, even Cyclops, but not me?"
"So ya jealous?" The hold on his color increased and he wriggled around, "Never mind!"
"You.. are going to tell Gambit everything y' know 'bout Rogue. Saturday, two o'clock." Toad gulped at the menacing tone and nodded.
"Sure! Just name the place!"
"Deh coffee shop t'ree blocks away from dis dump."
"That French one?" He wrinkled his nose in disgust before realizing that he was practically insulting the Cajun himself, "Great." He laughed nervously.
"Good."
Rogue knocked as hard as she could on the doors of the Brotherhood, wondering if they'd be able to hear her if John was still singing about squirrels. The door creaked open, scaring her slightly as she walked in, masking Jamie with her body in case there were intruders other than her inside.
She spotted all of the Brotherhood minus Toad surrounding a scorched TV in silence and she sighed.
"What did y'all do to the TV?" Rogue asked, startling all of them.
"It wasn't us," Pietro said slowly for once, "It-was-that-stupid-French-dweeb-with-his-stupid-cards-and-his-stupid-hair! Stupid-stupid-stupid-stupid-stupid-stupid-"
"Pietro!" Wanda slapped him on the back of the head. He immediately stopped jumping up and down with each "stupid" and pouted, crossing his arms.
"Gambit." Pietro said finally.
"He blew up your box of entertainment?" Jamie asked in disbelief, "How cruel can he be?"
"Who's the pipsqueak?" Lance asked with crossed arms.
"Ah was gonna introduce y'all tah one of the few cool mutants at the Mansion, but it seems ya should start preparin' a funeral fo' ya TV instead." She shook her head, "That was one of the only things that Ah loved in this house. Where's Todd? Did Wanda throw him on the roof again? Ya know how he hates the roof evah since y'all used him to fix the TV."
"No, Gambits threatening him outside."
Toad flew threw the window with a shriek and landed in the wall across from everyone.
"Never mind."
"Ah'm just gonna leave. Say buh bye to the crazy people, Jamie."
"Bye bye!" Jamie said, waving cheerfully, "Have fun fixing the crazy orange guy in the corner!"
"Moi TV.." John muttered, leaning back and forth in the fetal position and petting his lighter.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine once we buy a new TV with the money that the French dude threw at us." Blob said, saying the longest sentence ever heard from him compared to his lines on television.
Crap, Rogue was here. Why was she here? Oh yeah, because she likes the Brotherhood. She couldn't know that he was asking Toad about her, she'd hate him more than she does now. Or worse, she'd think that he's desperate.
"Y' tell anyone about dis and deh next meal Gambits gon' have is gon' be fried Toad."
"G-got it."
Remy threw Toad through the window as hard as he could and smiled at the scream he heard. No wonder everyone beat Toad up all the time.
It was a great stress reliever.
"So you don't think they can help us prank Carol?" Jamie said as they started their walk back to the mansion.
"Don't worry, Jamie. With your little kid charm and our powahs, Ah'm sure we can git back at her ourselves."
"Are you going to have to absorb me?"
"If it comes down to that, yeah. Don't worry, ya'll still be conscious."
"Joy."
Author's Note (Please read!): So, I come to ask all the reviewers which I am eternally grateful to for your opinion on how Carol should get hers. I have some ideas, but they're probably not as good as things that other people might come up with. Or I could combine every single idea for pranks together and attack her with it. Think outside of the box, people. No powers are out of Rogue's absorbing ability when it comes to Carol.
