Chapter 14 - Other methods of employment.
A few days later found Pietro attempting to fix his room after his 'followers' had trashed it. He wasn't having much luck. Every now and again, a shriek of pain would come from upstairs.
"You think we should help him?", commented Fred as he tilted his head towards the stairs.
"Nah", said Lance, "if he wants to pretend he can do it all by himself, then let him try".
"I'm home", shouted Sidney, walking into the living room carrying a huge carboard box.
"Whats in the box?", asked Lance, "or....do we not want to know?".
"I'm glad you asked", said Sidney with a grin, "you know i've been looking for a new job right?. Well, i found one".
"Found what?", asked Pietro, zooming downstairs, his hands covered in bandages.
"A job", said Sidney proudly, "you know how people have tupperwear parties?".
"Yeah, my mom used to have them all the time", said Fred with a sigh, "she always put the nicest food in those little plastic boxes. Melted cheese, tuna casserole...".
"Okay, we get the concept", said Sidney blinking, "well i'm doing the same sort of thing only....".
She opened the box and brought out a silk strappy nightgown.
"I'm doing lingerie parties!", she said wth a grin.
The boys looked dumbfounded for a second.
"I.....love.....you", said Pietro, wide-eyed, "will you marry me?".
"Hey, i'm right here!", said Todd.
Sidney chuckled.
"So....that means their will be young lingerie models here right?", asked Pietro hopefully.
"Sometimes", said Sidney with a shrug.
Pietro gave a small squeak of happiness, then turned to Todd.
"You lucky..........Toad!", he said, "your dating a lingerie patry hostess".
"I know", said Todd, "one of the quirks of Sidney. Ya never know what she'll come up wit' next".
"My first meeting is on Thursday", said Sidney, then narrowed her eyes at Pietro, "if thats okay with our 'leader'".
Pietro mearly nodded his head slowly, a small smile crossing his face.
"Look at all the pretty underwear", he said dreamily.
A few hours later, the group were attempting to sort out the various peices of lingerie. Pietro's hands were still bandaged and he was wrestling a bra with his teeth. He finally caught a hold of the strap with one of his hands, unfortuantely, the bra sprang across the room.
"I can't undo a bra!", said Pietro in a paniced voice, "i've been able to do that since i was eight years old!".
"Stop complaining", said Lance, causing a slight tremor, "oh come on, work you stupid piece of.....wait, is this...pvc?".
"There has GOT to be another piece to this", said Todd, holding up a very tiny peice of material.
"Nope, thats it", said Sidney with a shrug.
"Okay......", said Todd, shaking his head, "if someone told me yesterday that i'd be sorting out lingerie today, i'd'a laughed in their faces".
"Then again, in this house, things like this are expected", muttered Lance.
The door banged open and Remy walked in.
"Nobody panic, Gambit has arrived", he said with a grin, the noticed the lingerie, he blinked, "Remy don't t'ink he wants to know how you ended up wit' dat".
"It's my new job Remy", said Sidney, "i am now Sidney Cagney, lingerie hostess".
"Gambit gonna enjoy dis", he said, sitting down and grinning.
"Whoah", said Fred, holding up another peice of lingerie, "how is anyone supposed to get into that"?.
"I wouldn't like to say", said Sidney, turning it various ways, "huh....i'lll have to look in the brochure. Which reminds me, you can give it back now Pietro".
"I don't have it", said Pietro inocentely.
"Yeah, and i'm Princess Caroline", she said, crossing her arms.
"You can't make me do anything!", said Pietro, "i'm the boss. ME!".
"You'll be a boss with a broken arm if you don't get it now", snarled Sidney, "or maybe i'll just go and ask Wanda if......".
Pietro disapeared in a gust of wind and came back a milisecond later with the brochure.
"Take it!", he said, throwing it at the feline mutant.
"Good boy", said Sidney, patting Pietro on the head.
"Well, Belle", said Remy, "i have ta admit. I'm impressed. How you get dese boys in check so well?".
"Its a constant schedule of giving them treats, such as this", said Sidney, gesturing to the lingerie, "and making them live in constant fear of what i would do with them if they got me mad".
"I'll have ta remmber dat", said Remy with a grin.
The boys were coming to the end of the enormous pile of lingerie when Sidney walked through the door, a dazed look on her face. She had been called into school by Principal Kelly, she'd been out for quite a while.
"What does he want?", said Lance, crossing his arms, "does he want to throw us outta the town too?".
"No", said Sidney, blinking, "what would you guys say if i told you i could get us all back into school, fully pardoned?".
"I'd say you'd been sniffing catnip again", muttered Pietro under his breath.
"Shut up Pietro", said Lance, narrowing his eyes, "what are you talking about Sid?".
"Well Kelly told me that he'd let us all back in school if i did him a favour", she said.
"What SORT of favour", asked Todd, raising an eyebrow suspisiously.
"He wants me to tutor...someone", said Sidney, putting her hands behind her back.
"Who?, asked Fred, "anyone we know?".
"Kinda..yeah", said Sidney with a chuckle, "Duncan Mathews".
"WHAT?!", said all the boys at once.
"I know, i know, i hate it too", said Sidney, putting her hands up, "aparently the dumb jock is failing English Lit....badly. If he doesn't pass his next exam, he wont be able to play in the next football game, you know, the semi-finals against PS118. And you KNOW what Kelly's like about his beloved football team. If his star player can't play, its a sure loss for Bayville".
"So he wants you to tutor the blockhead so that Bayville can still go onto the championships?", said Pietro, blinking.
"Yep, and in return, he'll let us all back into school", said Sidney with a sigh, "what do you think?".
"Well we can't go anywhere without a high school education yo", said Todd, "but then again....it IS Duncan were talkin' about. He screwed us up royaly when we teamed up wit' him against Summers".
"I did warn you about that", said Sidney, "i don't mind tutoring him, if you guys want to go back to school. 'Cause i do".
"I, as leader of this group", said Pietro standing up and puffing his chest up, causing the rest of the Brotherhood to roll their eyes, "think it is a briliant idea. Well done Octavia!".
"You're not going to do a speach now are you?", asked Fred with a sigh, "'cause if you are, i'll just go do something more intresting. Like watching the paint on the walls peel off".
"Fine!", said Pietro, crossing his arms, "you all suck as followers, you know that right?".
He got no answer, the Brotherhood had left the room.
There you go, another chapter done. Who hoo! Remember to review, please :D
