I apologize for the lateness of this
chapter. I type up my stories in Microsoft Word (which I don't
own!) and something, somewhere, went horribly wrong in the program and
it went mad and skewed everything I wrote...so I had to start over and
that took a lot of time. Sorry.
Okay.
Lieutenant Lindsey- Maybe I should stop saying certain chapters suck because people seem to like them...oh well. Kelly did deserve it. Definitely.
whiterose934- Why would I kill you when you give me reviews AND a cookie? And, I've never actually heard the song "I Want Candy" in its entirety, so I had no idea what the lyrics really sounded like...I just got a copy of the lyrics and changed the words. It was fun. I might do it again.
ldypebsaby- I like sad stories!! Any recommendations? And you laughed your pants off? Better than I once did (I was drinking Dr. Pepper [I don't own!] and was reading a really funny fic...and all the Dr. Pepper came out my nose and it BURNED!!!)
childrenwithblades- When I was trying to come up with a name I had to make sure that there really wasn't a city in Maine called that. I could have researched and found a name that wasn't a city in Maine...or I could take the path of least resistance and just name it something that was so outrageous that there couldn't possibly be a city named that. And "Notarealcity" was born.
Piotr's girl- Have you read "De Penguin De Penguin"? Well, it's comic-verse and deals with Remy's weird phobia of penguins...it's really funny in a strange sort of way (and this ISN'T random you mentioned 'penguinistic' in your review!) I think the story might have been deleted because I can't seem to find it...oh well. The powers thing would be funny. It could be an attack of the Mary-Sue!
L1701E- I never really liked classic...then again, I'm only ::age deleted. guess. between 10 and 16:: and so I think the visual effects are kinda cheesy...ANYWHO!! Thanks for reviewing.
rage-girl-05- OOO!!! New reader!!! I feel loved!! ::does happy dance:: Hmm...I never thought of it that way...And 'Fahrenheit' is very good, but it's rated R for a reason...if you're squeamish, be prepared to close your eyes. Lots of blood.
Does anybody know what happened to FireStarter911? I hope she only went on vacation...
Haha!! I have passed 50 reviews!!
And onto chapter 10!!
----------------------
Back at the amusement park, the Acolytes-minus Sabertooth, of course- had run into a wee bit of trouble.
"Why weren't you watching her?!" Piotr yelled.
"'Cause Remy t'ought Johnny was!" Remy yelled back.
"You should know better than to be trusting John with anything!" Piotr bellowed.
"An' den why weren't YOU watchin' 'er?" Remy asked, "'Cause if Remy 'members right, 'e was out cold when it happened!"
"This happened after you woke up!" Piotr argued.
"Y' crazy, homme, Remy most certainly was not awake."
"Yes you...never mind..." Piotr moaned, "Vhy must THEY be my comrades?" he muttered to himself. John, who had been watching Piotr and Remy's fight, answered.
"'Cause, me mate, you signed up with us and not those X-Blokes!"
Then John remembered WHY he wasn't participating in the verbal warfare.
"This is all your fault!" Remy and Piotr screamed at him with their varying Russian and Cajun accents.
"Hey now, mates, you never told this lil' pyro to do anything!" John said, "'Ow was I supposed to know?"
"I am not believing that this is happening..." Piotr groaned.
Now, you may be wondering what they're all moaning about. So I'll tell you.
After lunch (which they'd shared with the X-Men, remember?) the Acolytes had decided to go on the lazy river, as it was the only semi-decent ride that they could go on with a baby. The X-Men had declined to join them, because, well, it WAS the lazy river, and they DID have a reputation to protect. So the X-Men had gone off to the Death-Defying-Spin-Up-And-Down-And-Around-er.
Now, the lazy river is a very relaxing ride, as those of you who have been on one should know. Remy had fallen asleep, because he was still a little dazed from Rogue's vampire touch. Piotr had taken a break from destroying the world and fighting off those annoying little X-Men who were trying to save the world to just unwind. He didn't fall asleep, but he DID close his eyes. Meanwhile, John had begged and pleaded to be able to hold Bertha on the ride. Against their better judgment, Remy and Piotr had let him. After all, what harm could John do surrounded by water? Water puts out fire, which is John's main havoc-creating device.
There was a fatal flaw in their logic. They forgot that John was insane. Insane people possess the unique talent of being able to create chaos anywhere, with anything, at anytime. Nothing will prevent them, except for a straightjacket and lots of tranquilizers. Piotr and Remy had neither of these items.
While Piotr was resting (NOT ASLEEP) and Remy was sleeping, John was instructing Bertha in the fine art of water-hating.
"Ya see, sheila, fire puts out water, which really isn't all that good, 'cause fire is your best-est fried!" John explained, "Fire will never betray you...well, at least it will never betray me 'cause I CONTROL it...but so long as you respect the flames they won't hurt you!" Bertha giggled.
"Now you just don't annoy me, 'kay?" John asked as he settled back into the ever-so-comfortable inner tube and sunbathed. He ignored Bertha, who was sitting on his lap, and quickly fell asleep.
As they bumped up against the ground surrounding the river, Bertha must have crawled off. Because currently, the Acolytes couldn't find her.
Which leads us back to why they were arguing in the first place.
"Well, we ain' gettin' anyt'ing done sittin' here arguin'!" Remy pointed out.
"But it IS very therapeutic!" John felt oh-so inclined to point out, earning him a glare from his teammates.
"John, perhaps it is better if you do not speak," Piotr suggested. John turned away and muttered darkly.
"We need t' go search f'r her!" Remy said as if that was as plain as day and the other Acolytes were just being stupid.
"Well, come on, how hard could it be?" John asked.
"I thought you were not speaking," Piotr said.
"Homme, look at dis place. Look at all de people in dis place. How we supposed to find one lil' baby in all dis?!" Remy cried.
"Heh heh..." John laughed nervously as his teammates glared angrily at him.
"If I hear another word from you, I swear to any and all gods you will not wake up tomorrow," Piotr threatened.
----------------------
"Sabertooth?" Magneto called, "Gods, where is he?"
"Do you want me to find out?" Xavier asked.
"If you would be so kind...the Acolytes' car is right here!" Magneto yelled, "That little furball lied to me!"
"Of course he did, didn't you know that?" Xavier looked up from his searching.
"No...how did you know that?" Magneto questioned suspiciously.
[I am a mind reader,] Xavier pointed out.
"Sorry, I forgot."
"No problem, old friend."
"Could you remind me to pummel Sabertooth when we find him?"
"No problem."
----------------------
Sabertooth was growling angrily while walking back to the amusement park.
"How did he not see me?!" he raged, "I was practically hit by a CAR, and he still didn't see me?! Is Magneto blind or something?!"
In fact, Sabertooth was raging so loudly that back at the X-Mansion someone heard him.
"Sabertooth," Wolverine growled menacingly. And, just for a sense of dramatics, Sabertooth had the sudden urge to herbal. And say the following phrase:
"Wolverine."
"Sabertooth!" Wolverine shouted.
"Wolverine. I'll take care of you as soon as I non-fatally injure Magneto!" Sabertooth yelled back, because both mutants have enhanced senses and thus could hear each other even though they were almost 56.72359 miles apart.
"I welcome your attempt!" Wolverine threw back contemptuously, setting out to meet the challenge.
----------------------
Uh-oh...come on, what story isn't complete without a wolvie-sabes fight? (was that a double-negative?...)
The Acolytes lost Bertha. I can guarantee Magneto's not gonna be too happy about the loss of a perceived super-mutant...
