Training Trouble
"THIS STINKS!" Evan shouted. They were in the hanger with Logan and the New Recruits.
"Evan calm down," Ororo said.
"Calm down, you're demoting me to the New Recruits and you expect me to calm down?" Evan snapped.
"It's not a demotion," Ororo explained. "We just think that the New Recruits will benefit from your experience more. It's only for a few weeks."
"Then why isn't Gambit here?" Evan asked.
"Two reasons porcupine," Logan told him. "One, he has more combat experience. Two he isn't failing his History and English classes."
"Well just because you're dating my English Teacher doesn't mean you can spy on me," Evan grumbled.
"You're what?" Ororo looked at Logan. "Since when?"
"About a month ago," Logan shrugged.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Ororo looked angry.
"Because it was none of your business that's why!" Logan snapped. "It's not like you had any interest anyway!"
"I see," Ororo said calmly.
"Storm I would like your opinion on the latest calibrations for the Danger Room," Hank walked in.
"Not now Hank!" She said. She turned her attention to Logan. They stared each other down.
"Uh…What's going on?" Hank asked.
"Logan's dating Ms. Ark the English teacher," Sam told him.
"What's the big deal about that?" Jubilee asked. "So Mr. Logan's seeing someone. It's not like he and Storm were dating anyway?"
"My point exactly kid," Logan said still glaring at Ororo.
"You're right. Hank would you like to have dinner tonight?" Ororo asked.
"Uh…well yes," Hank blinked.
"Good see you at seven," She walked off.
"Women!" Logan huffed and went into the jet.
"Okay what was that?" Sam asked Evan.
"Got me. Man there is way too much drama around here!" Evan groaned.
"Just get in the plane," Logan snapped. Soon the jet took off leaving a very bewildered Hank alone.
"I have no idea what goes on. I just live here," Hank shrugged and walked away in a daze.

"For the last time Tabby I was not flirting with that cheerleader!" Ray groaned.
"Well I'd like to know what exactly you were doing Ray!" Tabitha shouted. "Because it sure looked like flirting to me!"
"I was not!"
"Was too!"
"Was not!"
"Was too!"
"I was not!"
"You wanna time bomb where the sun don't shine?"
"Try it babe! Go ahead!"
"WILLYOU TWO KNOCK IT OFF BEFORE I THROW YOU BOTH OUT OF THE JET!" Logan screamed.
"Please do," Jubilee groaned.
"I'm hungry," Sam whined. "When do we eat?"
"What do you think this is?" Logan snapped. "American Airlines?"
"Quit shoving!" Rahnee snapped at Roberto.
"You quit shoving!" Roberto snapped at her.
"Both of you knock it off!" Amara snapped. "You're giving me a headache!"
"You're not the only one!" Logan groaned. "Why did I have to be the one to baby sit the kids in this X-Jet practice flight? Why?"
"Why am I here with this whiny idiots?" Evan groaned.
"You take that back!" Tabitha shouted.
"Make me!" Evan snarled.
"I'll make all of you be quiet permanently if you all don't shut up!" Logan snarled.
"Well I'm being good!" Jamie said proudly. "Aren't I Mr. Logan?"
"Yes Jamie you are," Logan rolled his eyes.
"See," Jamie stuck his tongue out at the others.
"Why is he here?" Evan asked.
"Yeah he's too little to fly the jet!" Jubilee said.
"I am not!" Jamie snapped.
"Are too!" Ray shouted.
"Am not!" Jamie shouted.
"I am gonna kill Chuck for this," Logan grumbled to himself. "Better yet, next time I make him take them up in the jet!"
"Hey I think we're at the area designated for practice," Roberto said.
"Oh brother," Rahnee rolled her eyes. "You sound just like a suck up!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not Fuzz Girl!"
"Do too Jean Grey clone!"
"You take that back!"
"Okay let's get this over with! Iceman you're up!" Logan handed the controls to Bobby.
"All right!" Bobby cheered as he took the controls.
"We're gonna die," Roberto groaned.
"Only if we're lucky," Logan muttered under his breath. He looked around. "Well I'm impressed. You've been at the controls a full minute and we haven't crashed yet."
"See?" Bobby told them. "Nothing is gonna happen!"
Just then a spaceship flew out of nowhere and nearly sent the X-Jet into a mountain. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?" Bobby shouted.
"Pull up! Pull up!" Logan shouted. He grabbed the controls just in time. Everyone screamed as the jet turned itself over twice. "What kind of maniac was driving that thing? Whatever it was?"
"My stomach…" Jubilee tried to hold it in but couldn't.
"I knew it," Roberto groaned. "We're gonna die."
"Why do I have a feeling somebody's getting us back for the time we took the X-Jet on a joyride?" Sam groaned.
"Mr. Logan," Jamie said weakly. "I threw up all over the backseat."
"Stupid baby," Ray grumbled.
"I'm not the one who wet my uniform," Jamie snickered.
"THAT'S IT! WE ARE GOING HOME!" Logan snapped as he turned the jet around. "If I have to be stuck with you nutcases in here any longer I am going to crash this jet on purpose!"
