Lance: I get to tell the story again! YAY!
1 Scott: Oh be quiet, I did not do a bad job *throws an orange at him*
Lance: Hey! *Points to his cheek where the orange hit him* Make it better
Scott: I'll do better than that I'll…
Nekokittykat: FINISH THAT SENTENCE AND I WILL SO GET PIETRO OR SOMEONE TO WRITE THIS!
"So where are you and Scott going to go on a date?" Cami asked sitting at the breakfast bar finishing her popsicle. It was my turn to do the dishes, and part of my punishment and she was keeping me company in the annoying way sisters seemed to. "I mean he's already slept over I think it would only be right for you to at least take him to dinner and a movie."
"What if I say it's none of your business?" I asked her looking over my shoulder while drying a dish. Yes, we ad a dishwasher but the punishment was doing them by hand.
"I'd say you're no fair." She put the frozen red stick as far in her mouth as she could manage. The telephone rang and she picked it up pulling the treat out of her mouth. "Hello? Um, no, me no speak the English."
I frowned at her corny Spanish accent in confusion.
"No Kitty, he can't talk, no I'm not from Spain or Mexico. No, nope. Look, I already said he couldn't talk. Well, he got suspended, duh! No I was not making fun of you. Yeah I am like lying. Well I'd like to see you try that."
It was just about time to intervene.
"I'm not afraid of a Power Puff Girl, and you know what you're that ditzy what's her name one." A pause. "Oh, big talk for a valley girl wanna be." At that point they just went into arguing and insulting each other. "Oh go fuck yourself Pryde, since you can't find anyone to do it for you. Oh, great comeback. Why don't you just eat me." A longer pause and then. "Hi, Scott, no I wasn't bothering anyone, she started it. Well it's not my fault if she wants to hit on your boyfriend who just so happens to be grounded from the phone. Oh yeah he's not, my bad." She handed the phone to me and licked off some juice that melted to drip onto her hand. "Scott wants to talk to ya."
"Thanks," I waited for her to leave but she didn't. "You can go now."
"No I can't, you won't tell me anything."
"Fine, I'll leave." I held the phone tightly and bolted out of the kitchen and down to the basement. "If Cami comes down here you have my permission to use full force to get rid of her."
Fred looked up from the couch where he was getting badly beaten by Calvin, who was now all right and had control of machines to the point that he wasn't even touching the controller and his player was still beating up on Fred's. He'd short-circuited the toaster a little earlier though. "Um… ok."
"Now I'm sort of glad I don't live with my little sibling," Scott replied with a small laugh. "I can't talk long and if I suddenly start yelling someone's come in."
"Doesn't Baldy tap the lines or something?"
"Nah, yesterday to find out Rogue had a conversation with Jewels about world domination and how the Prof would have to be the first to go, nothing happened."
"Doesn't mean any…"
"I'm the paranoid one, remember?" He reminded me with a slight chuckle again.
"Yeah whatever." I ignored the 'slam' from upstairs. "So up to anything about six tomorrow? There's a play at the community college."
"A play?" he asked with slight disbelief in his voice.
"Where else would we go and likely not run into anyone?"
"That's not what it is," he replied with a laugh again, "I just never knew you were a thespian."
"I thought that was what girls who were homosexual were called?"
He laughed even harder managing to choke out, "Not… lesbian… thespian!"
"Um… ok, moving on." I was about to continue when Angela walked in. "What do you want?"
"I could say but I don't think the Professor would appreciate hearing it if he is in fact tapping the phone lines," Scott replied to the question that was directed no where near him. His answer was making a faint red color creep to my cheeks though.
"Not you, Ann just walked in."
"Hang up, we're going to the mall. Scott can met us there if he's permitted. I mean, nothing can come of just 'happening' to run into eachother. We can see Ice Age! Plus you need some new clothes and we got our spending money, lots of it."
"Spending money?"
"Yeah, Raven's husband… um… Brad, yeah that's his name, is having some computer empire runner dinner party thingy and we usually get invited so that's why we got the money, the guy likes meeting his wife's charity cases."
"That's a lovely way of putting it," Scott commented on the other end of the phone line.
"So it's fancy so we get a bribe for going and being on good behavior, plus some stuff for party clothes. "
"Uh… ok, sure whatever. Think you can meet us at the theatre at," I waited for Angela to tell me the time.
"Eight."
"Eight?"
"Yeah, since it's a weekend our curfew is 10:30 and Jamie was saying he wanted to see Ice Age, no one else was really interested," Scott replied.
"Jamie?"
"One of the new recruits, since he's young and impressionable I think Xavier is saving his mind game until it's necessary or something." I could hear the door to his room opening in the background. "Oh, hey Jean, just talking with Paul. Talk to you later."
"Yeah, see you at the movie." It was good Jean had interrupted, one of my fears was that we'd go into one of those 'you hang up, no you hang up' cutesy arguments. I got up and started back upstairs to finish the dishes. "Get out of my room, Angela!" I called over my shoulder to get her to stop scrutinizing my clothing.
"It's disgusting anyway."
"I just cleaned it though," I retorted.
"No, your fashion sense," she said with a little laugh sinking in- between Fred and Calvin. Who had made her the fashion police? More importantly, who cared!
1.1 X
"You're the smart one, I'm just the pretty one," Cami poked Pietro square in the chest, "you figure out how to get free popcorn." I shook my head as the two argued in the line.
"I never wanted to see this movie anyway," Pietro complained tapping his foot at a decent speed.
"Then go," and my sister proved she was my sister by pushing him away from the line and using her power to give a gust that was just enough to knock him onto his ass.
"Watch it, Maximoff, you almost knocked Jamie over." I smiled slightly at Scott's big brother attitude and the look he was giving Pietro.
" Aw, why-don't-you-yell-at-that-thing-over-there-for-it."
"Thing?" Cami asked putting her hands on her hips and looked annoyed. "I'm going to be nice and give you a head start."
"I don't need a head start." He took off none the less careful not to go full speed since we were in public.
"I'll meet you at Barnes and Nobles," Cami smirked evilly and I had second thoughts about letting her go off, "and if the police come looking, I didn't do it! I just want to say that in advance." With that she disappeared into the crowd.
"Oh god…"
"Don't worry, I'll make sure they don't get into too much trouble," Mak piped up.
"Me too," Jewels put in and they too left.
"I think they got some new games in," Calvin said, "let's go check it out."
"K," Jordan, Keith, and Zac answered. Apparently they all didn't want to see the movie. That left Fred, Todd, Angela, Jamie, Scott, and myself. I was starting to get a feeling this had been planned.
"Oh, look Freddy," Angela said with a smile, "Lord of the Rings is playing and it's not sold out yet!"
Fred looked up at the board that showed the shows playing and what was playing and nodded. "Sorry guys, but can't pass an opportunity like this."
"Yeah, yeah, you go on," I rolled my eyes and sighed looking down at Todd and Jamie, "I suppose you two are going to go see ET or something."
"No way, yo, classics should stay classics." Todd answered firmly. "It's a crime I tell ya!"
"Yep, plus I wouldn't be able to get anyone to take me to Ice Age anyway." Jamie added in a rather chipper tone.
"So you aren't leaving us?'
"Nope," both replied in unison.
The movie was ok, and we did end up being abandoned considering Todd and Jamie insisted on sitting in the very front row. I probably talked more with Scott than anything. Dinner and a movie, now Cami would be happy and maybe leave me a lone. Yeah right.
When we got down to Barnes and Noble, or started to, I paused and ducked behind a fake plant pulling Scott with me. Apparently other members of the X-men beside Scott and Jamie had decided to go to the mall. Mainly Kitty, Evan, Kurt, and some of the new recruits and it looked like they'd run into Cami and Pietro. Not a good thing, especially when Todd went up to join them and Scott grabbed Jamie just in time.
"Ready to intervene?" I asked Scott as the groups just stared at each other for a while. "Before they start anything I mean."
"What would they start?" Jamie asked.
"A fight probably," Scott answered concern marked on his face. I could see he was tying to figure out how to break it up without a big scene. I was trying to figure out the same thing.
"I got a plan, not sure it'll work," I took a step out from behind the tree before continuing, "but it's something I remember my mom used to use with Cami when she was distracted or wouldn't budge." I knew my sister and one thing she hated was being upside down, that and being called shrimp. I walked over to them and picked her up by the waist in such a way I ended up carrying her so if she squirmed her head would hit the floor. "Come on, Shrimp, we don't have time for any fights. Toad, Pietro, come on!" Cami had a death grip on my arm and I could hear Kitty laughing at her, one little shake took care of that.
"Put me down! Help! Psycho brother!" I just lifted her up a bit more and she shut right up mumbling about how sleeping wouldn't be a good idea for me tonight.
I turned around and yelled at Todd and Pietro to get their butts in gear. Pietro would probably also be killed later for the smirk he was giving the upside down wind rider and I didn't have to know she was about to rip his head off, or mine. They're relationship is interesting, very like-hate, but I guess no more interesting than Scott's and mine.
"Now go get your team home," I told Scott while passing him pretending to look angry. "Before we decide to beat them up." And so our acting careers continued.
"Not like you could, Alvers." He pretended to shove passed me but whispered, "See you tomorrow."
"Hopefully," I replied. Jamie looked at us confused before shrugging and following Scott.
"You know I'm going to kill you," Cami blurted out giving up trying to get free and probably glaring at Pietro, I was also holding her so she was facing backwards.
"I'd like to see you try, now come on and walk," I flipped her over and she waited for me walk a few steps before pouncing onto my back. "That's not walking."
"Aw, come on, I've been trying to kill Pietro while you were in the movies doing who knows what with Scott, plus you know you love it." She hooked her chin onto my shoulder and I had to admit, I did.
How did the ending get so sappy? Oh that's right, soda. Anyway review this pointless chapter and tell me where this should go! I'm just aimlessly writing at the moment. (could you tell?)
