The 'Hood House

"Mm… Lunch…" Todd smiled as he hopped towards the kitchen. He had arrived home a few hours earlier, Pietro insisting that he would be fine, but Wanda refused to leave her twins side. Todd knew that the two needed some time, and Wanda had threatened to actually turn him into a Toad, so he decided it would be wise to come home. He was stopped by Lance in mid hop however.

"You don't want to go in there." Lance said as he walked by with a black eye and a sandwich.

"What happened to you? Cat got your tongue?" Todd quipped.

"Nope. Laura." Lance muttered as he took another bite of his sandwich.

"Say again?"

"X took it upon herself to Plan Freddy's 22nd Birthday party by herself." Lance explained. "She's reasonable stressed and angry." Lance said, motioning to his eye.

"Uh oh." Todd muttered. "You'd better let Betsy cover that up before the cat sees it."

"Why. Kitty can barely move as is. I don't think there will be trouble."

"Your girls funeral." Todd said as Lance walked away.

A little later

"WHAT!" Kitty's voice echoed though out the 'Hood house.

"Heh. Told him." Todd quipped as he sat with Mike and Betsy.

"I got five on the Cat." Mike said. Even though she's in her last trimester, she's got a lot of anger and frustration to take out."

"I'll take that bet." Betsy said as the three of them got up and ran to the kitchen door. They peeked in three stooges style, Mike's head at top, Betsy's under his, and Todd's at the bottom.

"Watch it pregnant girl." X hissed as she dodged a pepperoni log.

"What did you do to my Baby's daddy?" Kitty screamed, her face red with frustration.

"Crickey, notice how Kitty's gone ghetto in this stage of her pregnancy?" Todd said in a corny Australian accent.

"Why do you have a bad accent?" Mike asked as Betsy palmed her face.

"Morons." Betsy moaned.

"Kitty, calm down…" Lance said as he tried to restrain his girlfriend.

"OFF!" Kitty shouted as she threw Lance across the room.

"Owwie…" Lance moaned, as he looked at the dent his head had made in the refrigerator.

"Oh… She does have spunk." Betsy quipped.

"I SAID BACK OFF!" (SNICKT)

"Yea. But X has claws." Todd pointed out.

"An excellent point." Mike agreed as Blob tried to keep X from killing Kitty.

"Kitty! It doesn't help if you keep throwing things at Laura." Blob said as he held a snarling X at bay, foam dripping from her mouth.

"Let her go! I can take that Bimbo!" Kitty screamed as Lance restrained her.

"BIMBO! I'LL KILL HER!" X screamed.

"Popcorn?" Todd asked as he passed a bowl to Mike and Betsy, who had dragged the couch into the doorway, so they could get a better view of the action.

"Please." Betsy replied with a smirk as she popped a few into her mouth.

"Lance?" Blob asked.

"On it." Lance said as he focused, the ground swallowed him and Kitty.

"COWARD!" X screamed at the spot where Lance and Kitty were once standing.

"I give it two thumbs up." Mike commented, drawing X and Fred's attention.

"I give it one up and down." Todd added.

"I give it two thumbs down." Betsy finished.

"I'll give you all two claws!" X screamed as she lunged at them.

"CHEESE IT!" Todd screamed as the three bolted out the door.

"Well, this birthday is going to be memorable." Blob said as he watched X chase down Mike and Todd.

"OW!"

"NOT THE FACE!

"THIS IS THE WORSE PAIN IMAGINABLE!"

"RODNEY KING! RODNEY KING!"

"SHUT UP AND TAKE IT!"

"Sigh… I'll get the band-aids." Blob muttered as he waddled away.

Much later

"Memo to self, annoying Laura when she is stressed out is not the smartest plan in the world." Todd said as he talked into a tape recorder.

"A giant duh to that." Mike moaned as he held an icepack to his noggin.

"You two asked for it." Betsy quipped.

"Says little miss shadow walk away when the angry wolverine clone comes at you…" Mike muttered.

"Tu shay lover." Betsy commented.

"All I know is this is going to be one hell of a party. Otherwise X wouldn't be so uptight about it." Todd muttered.

The Party

"Mandy! Tiffany!" Blob shouted as he hugged the two strippers. "How did you guys get here?"

"You're cousin called and said it was your birthday silly…" Tiffany giggled,

"And we couldn't let our little Freddy go without his Birthday present…" Mandy added with a smile.

"SHAZAM!" Blob shouted as he grabbed the girls and ran upstairs.

"That seems a little too Seasonal Fun like for me…" Todd muttered.

"Quit. You're breaking continuity." Lance said simply as he rubbed Kitty's stomach.

"So. While Blob's having his own party, what do we want to do?" Betsy asked as X looked on in disbelief.

"I spent three days planning this party and he's going to miss it for a pair of cheep floozies?" Laura said in utter shock.

"Looks like." Kitty said. "Although this seems to be cheesy way for the party to end…"

"I'm gonna kill him." X said as she popped her claws. "I swear to God that I'm gonna kill him…"
