Hi-Ho-Hi-Ho, It's Off to the Pit We Go!

"Well it's nice to see you guys finally done with KP," Todd snickered as the X-Men staggered in. "And it's only two o clock. Not bad."

"Shut up Toad," Rogue snapped.

"Hey you can't blame me for this one," Todd told her. "You guys started that fight after I left. Remember?"

"Ugh," Kitty groaned. "I'm gonna have dishpan hands for a week."

"I gotta clean off the grime," Scott muttered and went into the bathroom.

"Okay listen up!" Roadblock walked in. "Get yourselves ready to go! In a few minutes, off to the Pit we go!"

"What?" Bobby asked.

"We're leaving for the Pit now?" Todd blinked. "Today?"

"Yup," Roadblock said. "Special orders. We're all moving out on the double. So get ready to go and don't give me trouble."

"Well if we're going then that means…" Realization hit Todd. "I gotta clean myself up! I can't go to the Pit looking this messy?"

"Huh?" Evan blinked. "Okay did I hear what I think I just heard or is my hearing going?"

Scott came out of the bathroom only to be nearly knocked down by Todd. "What the..?"

"GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM!" Todd shouted. "I HAVE TO CLEAN UP!" He locked himself in.

"Did I just hear what I thought I heard?" Scott asked.

"We all did," Rogue blinked. "I never thought I'd see that."

"Well he does have a reason," Roadblock chuckled.

"Okay why is Toad so anxious to clean himself up?" Scott asked.

"You'll find out when we get there," Roadblock said.

Twenty minutes later Roadblock was waiting outside the bathroom. "Okay kid this is probably the only time I am ever going to say this but get out of the bathroom now! You're clean enough!"

Falcon came in. "What's the hold up? Don't tell me he still in there?"

"Yup," Roadblock pounded on the door. "Toad move it!"

"Okay, okay," Todd came out. "How do I look? Do I at least smell better?"

"Come on Romeo," Roadblock sighed. "And I don't want another shower incident when we get back! Do you hear me?"

"That wasn't my fault!" Todd protested. "She keeps barging in on me!"

"Yes well that last time you weren't exactly protesting now were you?" Roadblock told him.

"Would you?" Todd asked.

"The kid has a point," Falcon chuckled.

"Just try to keep your hormones under control," Roadblock grumbled as they left.

Ten minutes later they were finally on their way. Xavier, Logan and Ororo took their own vehicles while the kids were all on the Joe's transport. "Why did we have to fly all together?" Kitty asked. "There's like hardly enough room on here!"

"Maybe they were afraid you guys would make a break for it," Todd suggested.

"He's got a point," Evan grumbled. "I know I'd run given half the chance."

"Get your elbow out of my face!" Rogue snapped.

"So-rry!" Jubilee snapped. "It's not my fault we're crammed in here like sardines."

"Move your leg!" Bobby snapped.

"Move your leg!" Remy snapped.

"Hey Fuzz Ball keep to your own side will ya?" Todd snapped. By a cruel twist of fate they were sitting together.

"Make me!" Kurt stuck out his tongue.

"Oh with pleasure!" Todd started to make a fist.

"That's enough!" Roadblock shouted. "Toad! Nightcrawler! Cool it! Just sit tight and don't fight!"

"Tell them that!" Todd pointed over his shoulder. Scott, Remy and Bobby were wrestling in their seats.

"Will you cut that out?" Roadblock separated them.

"He started it!" They all said, pointing to each other and then arguing about it.

"No wonder Wolverine and Xavier insisted on flying their planes themselves and sticking us with the kids," Roadblock groaned.

"Ah the kids are just bored Roadblock," Their pilot, a Joe by the name of Wild Bill spoke up. "How about a song. How's this one? I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves…everybody's nerves…"

"NO!" Roadblock shouted. "I am not going to listen to that song again!"

"Why not?" Todd asked. "I like that song! I know a song…"

"If you think you're gonna annoy us that way think again!" Kurt snapped. "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves!"

Soon all the students were singing along trying to outdo each other. "These kids are gonna drive me insane! Any aspirin on this plane?" Roadblock groaned.

A few hours and several arguments and hissy fits later they finally landed. "Oh thank god," Roadblock groaned as he got out. "I thought we'd never land!"

Standing before them was a man in a brown brigadier general's uniform. He called to attention. Instinctively the X-Men and Toad did so. Xavier, Logan and Ororo had landed their crafts as well and stood next to their students, although not at total attention.

"I'm General Hawk," The man told them. "Leader of GI Joe. Welcome to the Pit."
