Kevrol: ME!!!!!!
Rio: Hey! How did you get in here? Go back into the basement Kevrol!!!
Kevrol: NEVER!!! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Rio: *Agitated*Why not?!
Kevrol: Because…I hate you…actually, it's because I feel that my position at your side is being threatened.
Rio: you mean the thorn in my side? Because all you do is annoy me!
Kevrol: Exactly! And now I feel like someone else might be annoying you while I'm not around( that's not true, is it Rio?
Rio: uh…*sweatdrop* o-of course not *closes door with Pietro behind it* Why would you get that idea?
Kevrol: Well just to be safe I'm going to spend every single moment with you *rubs against Rio's leg, covering it in tan hair*
Rio: ACK! These are new black pants Kevrol!
Kevrol: *purrr purrr* I know! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Rio: SOMEBODY SAVE ME! What did I do that was so horriblethat I got stuck with this…demon!
Kevrol: Well, one stormy night you saw this absolutely cute little ball of soaking wet fur on your front step and you felt a tiny bit of pity in your heart and you foolishly picked it up and let it stay in your basement for a night, what a supid girl you were(, and it refused to leave, and when you tried to remove it, you had a painful reminder of how sharp cat's claws really are(.
Rio: *Wince* yeah, I remember.
Kevrol: and then the cat started to work on her already charming personality and has continued to scheme and maul in your basement ever since. *ppppuuuuurrrrrrrr*
Rio: *sigh* Oh joy.

Lance and Todd sped into the driveway and jumped out of the jeep. They ran into the house.
"Fred! Where are you?" Lance shouted. They waited for an answer, but none came.
The two mutant boys exchanged worried looks.
" Go check the rooms upstairs" Lance said quietly.
Todd nodded and hopped up the patched staircase while Lance quickly ran to the living room. Nothing. He checked the kitchen, back yard, and storage closet.
"They aren't upstairs yo!"
Lance jumped back with a startled cry at Todd's unsuspected appearance on the ledge above him.
"Easy man! It's just the Toad dude!"
Usually Lance would have made some pun about Todd's apearance being enough to terrify any human in his right of mind, but what the 'Toad dude' as he called himself, had said was very disturbing to Lance.
"I couldn't find anything down here, not a goddamn thing. No clues, nothing!"
"What do you think happened?"
"I don't-"
THUMP!
Both boys jumped ten feet into the air (literally for one of them)
"What was that?" Todd hissed.
"hell if I know."
Lance and his amphibian friend crept down the hall towards the basement door where the sound had come from. Lance counted silently with his fingers as Todd prepared a thing of slime in his mouth and prepared to bodyslam whoever was behind the door.
3…2…1…
Lance jerked the door back and Todd leapt with a yell…into thin air. Todd's battle cry quickly became a scream of shock as he very ungracefully fell down the stairs and covered himself in his own slime before smashing into something soft and dazedly lying there, trying to catch his breath. Lance ran after him. "TODD! Are you alright? What happened to- Ahh!"
Lance slipped on the remaining slime on the stairs and flew into Todd, who screamed once again before being smothered by Lance's immense weight.
"gmmfffhh smmmefferr!" Came from near Lance as he slowly got up
"Sorry Todd, I didn't see the slime and then- Todd?" Todd was unconscious.
"But then who-?" Lance was swifty on his guard as he silently made his way over to the lightswitch. There was bright flash followed by some sparks and a muffled scream before the few flickering lights came on. Lance ran bck to where Todd lay to find…Freddy! Tied and gagged onto a chair which had fallen over onto it's side.
"Mmaammf! Mmeeffroo fmmoot affmmaay!" Freddy's muffled voice came.
"Easy Fred, I can't hear a word you're saying." Lance started to untie their large friend as Todd came around.
"What happened yo? I feel like an avalanche fell on me. (A/N: Sorry, I couldn't resist:P)" Todd looked around dazedly until he spotted Fred.
"Ah Fred! How did you get tied up like that? And where's quickie?"
"Fomm! Fum miide fuf! Fomm felm Mmmamf!" Fred said angrily.
"Alright yo, settle down already! How am I supposed to untie you if you're screaming about stuff that's not important?"
"Mo fom ffa muf uf fon!" Freddy muttered, but none the less he held still as Lance continued to struggle with his ropes.
"Man these are tight! Todd! Go get me-"
"A knife?" Todd asked, revealing a small switchblade he had in the back pocket of his pants. Lance looked at him a little bit frightened.
"What? It was a present from Rogue yo!"
Lance nodded his head, reminding himself to whoop Todd's amphibian butt after this was all over, and quickly cut through Fred's bonds.
"Finally!" Fred exclaimed as he got to his feet and put his sore jaw back in place.
The three went upstairs and into the kitchen. Sitting down at the table, Lnce turned to Fred and asked the obvious question.
"What happened?"
"Well ya see…
*Flashback*
(A/N: It was a dark and stormy night…LOL, sorry again couldn't resist, I'll try to shut up now:P)
Fred watched as Pietro finally got up from his sobbing position on the glass covered floor of Todd's room. He sniffled and walked extremely slowly out of the room. Freddy watched him go with confusion and hurt in his eyes. He felt like he was being tortured, doomed to watch his always perky, tempermental speed demon friend dwindle away with nothing that Freddy could do to stop it. There had to be a way for him to make Pietro hold on to his personality! They would fight for Rogue to the death! Then they would all come back here and be complete again. But Freddy didn't even know where Rogue was. He needed to comfort Pietro now, he had to put the life back into quicksilver.
*End flashback*
"So what does that have to do with you being gagged and tied in the basement yo?"
"I'm getting to that, but first I had to comfort Pietro."
"How?"
"I gave him a hug." Fred said quietly.

A/N: YAY FREDDY! You've done what all fangirls everywhere want to do right now:P Well thanx for reading everybody! *pulls off coat to reveal T-shirt that says 'I 3 reviewz!'* Oh come on! You know you want to:P:P:P Do it or I'll give you Kevrol! I'm not kidding here! LOL, till next time! BROHOOD RULZ ALL! ~Rio~
