Brotherhood Intelligentsia

"I don't believe it," Jean sat there at the lunch table, staring out into space. "I don't believe it."

"Calm down Jean it was just a stupid test," Rogue snapped.

"Yeah Jean tests don't mean anything," Kitty said.

"That's easy for you to say," Jean snapped. "You two got on the list! I didn't!"

"Well neither did us," Evan said.

"Yeah," Kurt piped up.

"Oh that makes me feel so much better," Jean groaned. "Lance was right! These tests are unrealistic and rigged."

"Lance also got on the list," Kitty said.

"The entire Brotherhood got on the list!" Rogue snapped.

"Well that's a shock if I ever heard one," Scott grumbled.

"According to that test Fred is the smartest student in the school!" Jean snapped. "Can you believe it?"

"Are you serious?" Kurt nearly choked on his lunch.

"The Blob an egghead?" Rogue groaned. "Those tests are nothing but fakes."

"I can't believe it," She shook her head. "I simply can't believe it."

"Well look at the bright side Jean at least you won't be stuck all day with those yahoos like us," Rogue said.

"Oh that is going to be a fun day," Scott groaned. "Maybe I'll get the flu or something. If I'm lucky."

"You know what the worst part is going to be?" Evan groaned. "For the next few weeks those jerks aren't gonna let us forget about this!"

"Oh come on," Kitty said. "How bad could they be?"

As if on cue the Brotherhood wandered by. Somehow they changed clothes. Pietro and Lance were wearing power suits. Fred was wearing a smoking jacket, blowing bubbles with a pipe. Todd and Tabitha were wearing black outfits with berets and sunglasses, looking like beatniks. "Greetings fellow students," Pietro piped up. "Another wonderful day for Academia is it not?"

"Don't waste your breath Pietro," Fred made several more bubbles. "Not every student can appreciate the beauty of academics as we geniuses only can."

"Oh god make it stop," Jean held her head.

"No no dear Jean we're not gods," Pietro waved his hand. "Godlike intelligence maybe and looks and class and…"

"I can't stand it," Jean groaned. "I just can't stand it!"
