Marie's head lolled to one side, it was entirely too hot outside. Even the pool water was hot! I wish Ororo hadn't gone on vacation. She thought.
"I swear the my skeleton is melting!" Logan said as he flopped down under the shade of a tree beside Marie.
"Ungh!" Marie replied as she sipped her rapidly warming lemonade.
Just then they say Scott come out of the mansion. Marie gasped and Logan made a mental note to check what was in the water. Scott was dressed form heat to toe in a black pants suit.
"Lovely weather isn't it?" Scott queried.
"What kind of crack are you on?" Logan asked.
"And get me some!" Marie interjected.
"Aren't you roasting?"
"No…"
"See Marie… I told you he was stupider than he looked."
"Whatever Logan… listen I'm not in the mood to engage in a battle of wits with you right now, that and I refuse to duel with an unarmed person, the professor wants to see you."
"Hmph."
****************************
Logan walked into the Mansion… it was even hotter inside. He made his way to the professors office wondering if the bald guy had passed out from heat exhaustion yet… he had never seen him wear anything but suits.
He pushed on the door… his legs felt like jelly. That's it… Ororo is getting a little surprise when she comes home…
To his surprise The Professor was sitting in a pair of swim trunks and had every fan in the place going.
"As you have probably noticed Logan, we seem to be having some unusually hot weather…"
"No @#$%. I think I'm melting."
"Yes well… I think it is time we gout out weather goddess back. Bobby can only freeze so many rooms in the house and his ice melts so fast it is causing damage to my floors. PLEASE! Get Ororo back."
"I would… but I have no clue where she is. So I can't. Love to… you have no idea how much I'd love to… but I can't."
"Yes well… that's what being psychic is for Logan. My sources… and my brain… indicate that she is somewhere in… northern Canada…"
"WHOO HOOO!!!! Yes! Oh I am going right away!"
"Not so fast Logan. Because it would be highly unfair for just you to go… you have to take the students with you… call it a field trip."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…" The room started spinning as Logan let out a piercing scream of utter anguish.
*****************************
Logan sat blot upright in bed… a cold sweat covering his entire body. He glanced at the clock beside him… good… still time to stop her!
Logan hastily pulled on a pair of sweat pants and rushed down the hall. He had to stop Ororo before she left on her trip… there was no way he was taking a bunch of teens on a "field trip"
" What a weird dream. I hope I can stop her… no way I am chancing that the dream might come true!"
He reached the landing and raced to the door.
"Hi Logan… I'm afraid you're a little late… Ororo decided to leave early."
"What!" Logan couldn't believe his ears. "NO THIS CAN"T HAPPEN!"
"Wha…"
"Never mind! You wouldn't understand!"
Logan went back to bed grumbling as Scott looked on with a bewildered look on his normally passive face.
"Maybe it was just a dream… that's right… get a hold of yourself Logan… good lord! Believing in a stupid dream!" Logan flopped back onto bed and fell asleep.
**************************
Logan re-awakened to the buzz of his alarm. Groggily he got up and slipped into a pair of shorts for his morning jog. He turned on the television to get the weather report.
Today and throughout the rest of the week expect cold… rainy…
"Great… I knew that stupid dream was wrong." Logan said with a hint of pride.
"Oh…. Hold on a second… ah yes… that was last weeks report… this week expect soaring temperatures and break out that sunscreen folks!"
Logan stared in disbelief at the screen of the TV.
"PROFESSORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!" Logan said as he took off running down the hall.
