Notes: Okay, okay. Silly title but the ficlet needed a name okay? Written in response to the DDFH Halloween theme week.
"Okay, are we all set?" Marie asked, both nervous and excited about having some very fun times with two of her best friends. Nervous because you never knew what would happen with Jubes and Kitty nearby. Maybe it had been a bad idea to watch "The Blair Witch Project" and three other horror movies the day before Halloween...
"Of course we are. Remember who's the genius mastermind behind this whole idea? That's right chicas. The one and only Jubilee Lee."
"I know. That's what worries me."
"Very funny. Anyway, we have the snacks, we have the drinks, we have the Halloween weekend and we have the tent. What more do we need?"
"Oh, I dunno" Kitty chimed in, "Like a Jubilee not hopped up on caffeine?"
"Hey, it's not my fault that there's cokes in the vending-machine," Jubes said in mock indignation, "Besides, it's meant to be consumed and that's my job. It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it."
After a lot of more playful bickering back and forth by the dreaded three friends they finally set off for their designated camping-spot. The woods way back behind the mansion. The three of them have lots of fun but became more and more edgy and nervous as the night drew on.
All of them had been afraid of being made fun of so none had bothered to tell the others "You know guys, I'm afraid of the dark".
Which of course made it all the more fun for Logan, Scott and Hank that were standing hidden at a safe distance, watching the girls getting more and more frightened all the time. Just about anything got them worked up after a while. Someone accidentally breaks a twig? It's group-hug time. An owl hoots? Climb the trees!
And of course, the Brotherhood had to intervene in Logan & Friend's little fun night. They had real difficulties in keeping from laughing out loud almost constantly actually so having Sabretooth acting as the furriest and largest party-crasher in history was not very high on their wish list.
But they had to admit that if Sabretooth hadn't been such a lethal weapon it would have been most hilarious to see the faces of the three teens when a big loud roar could be heard throughout the woods. Scott even made the comment "I really wish I had brought a video camera with me. This one would have been great on 'Americas Funniest Home Videos.'" Hank and Logan didn't say anything but you could see that they thought they would have won for sure.
The three adults immediately went to knock Sabretooth out, preferably in a painful way since he destroyed their Halloween party. That's something not easily forgiven!
But that's where the tables were turned on them. They were rushing after the big feline when they fell down in a pit, apparently dug exactly for trapping them. Logan cursed fiercely when he realized he had walked into such an easy trap.
He cursed even more when Sabretooth walked up to the edge of the pit and looking down on them, laughing madly before he removed the mask revealing Bobby Drake under the costume.
On the other side of the pit they could all of a sudden feel the smell of sulphur as Kurt Wagner made his appearance.
"Gut! Gut! Excellent Bobby. This home video will certainly win the prize!"
Logan, Scott and Hank got a murderous look on their faces and the two pranksters knew they someday would pay dearly for this, but it had been soooo worth it!
