Thanks to:
XME – Thanks for the link! I had a look, how embarrassing would THAT situation be!?
Crazyspaceystracey – Glad you like it!
XEvo Chick – Glad you like it! I'm actually a Tonda fan, but I wanted to do something different.
Southern Goth Gal – Hee hee! I butchered Piotr's accent pretty well eh? Looking forward to your update! You know what a Rietro nut I am :)
Randomnimity – There will be Remy torture soon! But I needed to get this chapter up first, I just liked the idea.
DemonRogue13 – If you thought that was disturbing…read on!
Crimson Lipstick – Glad I could make you laugh!
Childrenwithblades – It's a pairing I've never seen before either and I'd like to take the credit for the idea, but sadly I can't.
Special thanks to:
Steph14Wales – I love writing Pyro lines, he's so obsessed! Gonna put up the Pyro chap in a couple of days.
Holly Potter – Piotr as Rogue's step-dad, NOOOO! I will have Rogue sing something soon, to make up for the lack of Rietro in this chapter…Sorry.
And thanks to anyone who tried to review and couldn't – FF.net was being stubborn yesterday. So yesterday's chapter is up today and today's is up tomorrow. You get the picture!
I forgot to say – the idea for Piotr/Mystique came from Randomnimity, as does the pairing here. Thanks for the ideas!

Kurt, Jubilee, Bobby, Sam and Ray had decided that watching everyone making out was just too disturbing and had gone outside for a respite. Bobby was amusing himself by posting bumper stickers on Magnetos orb – the biggest announced 'Mutants Do It In Spandex!' – when Kurt called out "Hey guys! It's Evan!"
"And Callisto and Caliban?" Jubilee frowned at the strange trio heading their way. "Since when do those guys come out during the day?"
"We heard that," said Callisto grumpily. "We've come because something strange is happening to the Morlocks…"
"Don't tell me," said Bobby. "They've been singing at each other?"
"It's not pretty," said Evan. "We thought the professor could…uh, Caliban? Caliban!"
Caliban, looking slightly less gloomy than usual, was gazing at Jubilee.
"What/" she said, whipping a mirror out of her pocket. "Do I have lipstick on my teeth?"
Caliban: When you were before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're jussst like an angel
Your ssskin makes me cry…
"I knew it!" exclaimed Jubilee, still looking in her mirror. "It's my pores, isn't it?"
Caliban: You float like a feather
In a beautiful world…
"Really?" Jubilee looked delighted. "You don't think this jacket makes me look fat?"
"Uh, Jubes, HELLO!" Bobby tried to get her attention. "This is Caliban. Caliban the sun-dodger?
Caliban: You're ssso fuckin ssspecial
I wish I wasss ssspecial
But I'm a creep…
Jubilee took his hand. "Oh Caliban! You're not!"
Caliban: I'm a weirdo…
"Well, uh…OK, you are that."
Caliban: What the hell am I doing here…?
Evan tapped him on the shoulder. "We came to STOP the singing, remember?"
Caliban: I don't belong here…
"Damn right!" Bobby glared at Caliban. Why hadn't he thought of a self-depreciating number to sing for her?
Caliban: I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect sssoul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around…
"I notice when you ARE around," said Jubilee hopefully.
Caliban: You're so fuckin ssspecial
I wish I wasss ssspecial
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
Oh-ooh…
"Oh no," murmured Evan. "He's aiming for the high notes!"
"That's a high note?" Kurt shook his head.
Caliban: Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want…
"It would make me happy if you got a tan and a toupee," replied Jubilee.
Caliban: You're so fuckin ssspecial
I wish I wasss ssspecial
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here…
"You do!" Jubilee threw her arms around Caliban, who didn't change his stoic expression. "You belong with me!" She began smothering his pale face with kisses, much to the horror of those watching.
"Let's leave them to it," said Evan with a grimace. "We need to find out how to end the madness before anyone else begins singing!"
"Before you go," said Caliban. "Where'sss the nearessst wig shop?"
Song is 'Creep' by Radiohead.
