The X-Men all sat, dismayed, watching the boiling hot pizza sauce come closer and closer. Beast suddenly sidled up to a whimpering Cyclops.
"Scott, seeing as we only have a few more minutes to live, I think I should let my true feelings be known..." Beast said softly.
The rest of the team watched the scene unfold before them.
"Yes...Hank?" Cyclops replied softly.
"I've been in love with you since I joined the X-Men, and...well, I was too ashamed to let everyone know."
"Awwwww," everyone chorused.
Cyclops stared at Beast, his eyes shining.
"This is better than a soap opera," Wolverine said, sniffling.
"Has no one else noticed that we're in a life threatening situation, we're all going to die, and that A LARGE FURRY BLUE GUY JUST PROCLAIMED HIS LOVE FOR YOUR LEADER?!?" Lily shouted.
"Yeah...isn't it touching?" Storm said, tears pouring down her face.
BAMF! Suddenly Nightcrawler appeared, with Eugene on his shoulder.
"We're saved!" everyone yelled happily.
"Eugene's done it again!" Rogue shouted joyously.
Nightcrawler looked hurt. "What about me?"
"Oh, yeah, and Nightcrawler. Hurray," Rogue said unenthusiastically.
BAMF! Before they knew it, they were all safely back at the mansion.
"Like, you guys are all, like, back!" Jubilee yelled, running down the stairs to greet them.
"I thought Senor Corrupt shot you?" Lily said suspiciously.
"Yeah...I survived!" Jubilee said happily.
"Damn," everyone muttered under their breath.
"Oh, Scott! You're back!" Jean said, throwing herself into Cyclops' arms.
"Hi Jean...there's...something I have to tell you..." Cyclops began, looking over at Beast. Beast sniffled, then nodded.
"Look Jean, you know that I think you're swell-" Cyclops began.
"Swell?!" Storm, Rogue, and Lily fell to the floor laughing at that.
Cyclops glared at them. "-But this whole experience has lead me to see that...well...you're a fainting, useless idiot that serves no purpose in the team except to look pretty and be a love interest for me," Scott explained.
Eugene snickered and gave Jean an I-told-you-so look.
"So...I'm breaking up with you to be with my one true love...BEAST!" Cyclops exclaimed.
"Oh, Scott!" Beast gushed.
Jean fainted.
Storm laughed.
Rogue giggled.
Lily raised her eyebrows.
Eugene grinned.
Wolverine walked over to Gambit. "Alright, alright. How much do I owe ya?"
Gambit snickered. "I told you Beast and Cyke were gay."
"Ah, well, I supposed I can hit on Jean all I like now, right?" Wolverine said positively as he handed Gambit 50 bucks.
"Well guys, it's been a blast. I think I'm going to run home as fast as I possibly can and never visit this hellhole again. Tootles!" Lily said, running out the front door.
"Bye Lily!" the X-Men called after her.
"That is NOT my name!!!" she yelled back.
"Scott, seeing as we only have a few more minutes to live, I think I should let my true feelings be known..." Beast said softly.
