CHAPTER 3 Disclaimer: We do not own X-Men Evolution characters.heck we don't own nothing.'cept the clothes on our backs.wait not even those..

Evan followed Kurt who seemed to be the leader of things. They rounded a corner and stood in front of a pub titled: O'Malie's. He walked in expecting the usual room full of smoke with the stench of beer, but instead was welcomed by a spotless room in dark goth like colors. He copied the others as they each took a seat at a long table. He looked around spotting several familiar faces, there was Scott and Jean, Cannonball, Jamie, Rahne, Tabby, Lance, Todd, Freddy, Pyro, Colossus, Bobby, Jubilee, Amara-he took a mental breath as he continued to list who he recognized-Wanda, Sunspot, Mystique, everyone who he had just came with AND.Creed. He narrowed his eyes at Sabertooth who was smiling like today was the best day in the world.

Creed smiled warmly at Evan when he caught him staring. "How are you this *lovely* day dearie?" he cooed to Evan

"Fine, you?" Evan replied coldly. Evidently this Creed was hyped on happy pills or something. Sabertooth's cheerful attitude was as bad as his other was, Evan decided.

Creed grinned back showing off his pearly whites all filed down to molars, "Just peachy!" Sunspot who sat across from him frowned, "Why don't you can it Mr. Ray-of-light?" he muttered as he curled up into a ball on his chair, muttering to himself. Creed frowned, "Oh dearie me, someone forgot his happiness-"

"AHH! No! Stop!" Roberto cried covering his ears with his hands as he cringed and started shaking.

Creed frowned with concern; "Oh I'm so sorry! I forgot you don't like long words!"

Sunspot sniffled and yanked himself farther away from Creed.

Evan's eyebrow raised as he looked at Roberto, "oookay this place is really freaky."

Shadow looked at Sunspot then Evan "You see, Roberto here has Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia." She said loudly making sure that Sunspot heard her. Sunspot screamed in pain and fell to the floor shuddering and crying.

Kurt frowned at Shadow and turned to Tabitha who was dressed like a nun, "Mehy I?" he asked as he pointed to her rosary. Tabitha nodded, "Of course brother." She said in a reverent tone as she kissed it and handed it over. "Mehnee zhankz zizter," he said as he turned and tapped Shadow on the shoulder and held up the rosary, "Stohp now oar ehy vill uze zhis!" he warned.

Shadow hissed and began to back away her eyes never leaving Kurt, when she was a safe distance she turned around so she was facing forward almost bumping into Lance. "Watch where you're going" she growled

Lance looked at her "Sure will yo!" he replied and added quickly "an ah would neva put ya near a cross yo." And walked towards Evan and Kurt with his back hunched looking like he was trying to become invisible. "That was kinda mean yo, she was only havin a lil fun."

Kurt shook his head, "Her fuhn eez hurteeing otherz, ehy cen mnot allow zhat."

Blob glanced up from staring at his flexed muscle, "Yeah man, that's not cool dude. We're supposed to, you know, peace love happiness man."

Lance just shrugged "Than why are ya with her yo?" he said. He felt his gaze being pulled, like a magnet, back towards the vampire goth who was sitting down near Cannonball, Iceman, Jubilee, and Toad. He watched as Todd grinned at Jubilee, "of course mademoiselle, you can be a part of my fan club, I mean who wouldn't want to join? I'm so sexy." Then he saw Shadow groan as if saying 'oh no, he's going to start with the 'I'm so sexy' thing again.

Kurt followed Lance's glance and didn't answer. He only shook his head in dismay and turned to Evan, "Nov vou see vhat ehy heve to puht up whiz?"

Evan gave his friend a 'glad I'm not you' look. "Oh, yeah. You should see it back home. He-" he nodded to Lance, "is practically going out with Kit- Shadow I mean, and he's the enemy! It drives Scott up the wall, man!"

"Somezhing zhat drivez heem up zhe vall?" he asked jerking his head in Scott's direction. Scott was currently banging his fists on the table while laughing so hard tears where streaming down his face. "Ey don zhink zo." Kurt finished as he glanced back at Evan, something on his mind. "Vou know Zhadow by zome ozher nehme?" he questioned having noticed that Evan had started Kit several times before correcting himself to Shadow.

Evan nodded "Yeah, in my dimension she's Kitty, and practically complete opposites with Shadow, man."

Kurt frowned "Keetey?" Vhat kind of a nehme ish Keetey?" he asked rather loudly.

Shadow looked up when she heard the name Kitty and growled, then turned back to her table not acknowledging the name any further. She didn't' want people calling her by her parent's pet name.

Evan shrugged "how am I supposed to know man?" Kurt shrugged as Mystique walked into the room with a weird, uncomfortable smile on her face as she eyed Evan. Colossus followed Mystique and sat down slamming his iron fists on the table. Evan shifted uneasily under Mystique's gaze.he looked at Nightcrawler and mouthed 'What's her problem?'

Kurt was about to answer when Mystique interrupted, "oooo naughty boy." she breathed as she traced her finger down Evan's chin. "Have you come to play? Miss Edith loves to play games." she cooed as she gazed at him unblinking.

Evan stared at Mystique and moved away, bumping into Colossus. "Zhat izh zit! Illyana neetz to die! Ah'm zic of Piotr doe zis! Piotr doe zat! Zave me Piotr! Ah'm through! Ah'll kill heer! I hate heer!" Colossus shouted in his heavy Russian accent. He again rammed his fist onto the table. Kurt leaned forward and grabbed Evan, pulling him away from Colossus.

Mystique touched Colossus's arm, "sshh baby, mummy will make it all better.she'll get those nasty little bees, always buzzing.bzz.bzz."

Evan looked at Kurt with scared eyes, "Is there anyone else here who is sane?" Just then Bobby Drake got up on his chair and shouted "Anyone got a *hiccup* beer? I'm *hic* all *hic* out! A lighter would *hic* be good too, *hic*, got some pot I need to finish-" he said in a dizzy voice as he swayed back and forth on the chair hiccupping.

Jubilee yanked him down, "Bobby! Jean told me that pot will.you know.make your.uh.little buddy disappear."

"Babe *hic* I think *hic* I'd know *hic* if it made my buddy disappear. *hic*" Iceman replied and got back on the chair. "Now whadda *hic* 'bout the beer?"

"I know I could use some bub. Haven't had one since breakfast." Jean said in a low gruff voice.

"Beer made da bitch" Cannonball said looking at Shadow "Do somethin veree interestin in a movie I saw" Same finished in his Kentucky accent, still staring at Shadow "We need some beer down har four tha bitch!" he yelled and gave Shadow a flirtatious smile

Jubilee frowned, "but Jean said."

Bobby ignored Jubilee and began walking up and down the table looking for a beer, he stopped by Pietro "Hey babe *hic* wanna come to my *hic* place later? You're *hic* lookin mighta fine *hic*."

Pietro's eyes widened "But I'm a boy, a real boy!" he said as he moved away from the drunk Bobby.

Gambit frowned and moved away from Bobby as well and leaned over to Pietro, "I tink 'e has masulinity issues mon ami." He said. Pietro nodded.

Bobby continued his tipsy walk down the table not the least bit affected by Pietro's answer. Finally he found one in front of the only empty chair, besides his own. He grabbed it and swallowed it in one gulp. He licked his lips "Man *hic* that was *hic* mighta fine be*hic*er"

Wanda who had been sitting next to the empty seat suddenly burst out in a tattle tale like voice "That was Daddy's beer! You're going to be in trouble."

At this moment Toad decided to speak up "Hey Wanda, why don't you come over and sit by me?" he asked with a broad, charming grin and a wink.

Wanda blushed red but shook her head, "No Daddy said to sit by him" she said in a voice that showed slight disappointment.

Toad's grin widened further "then how about until he comes back?" he coaxed patting the chair beside him.

"Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt" and with that she moved to the seat next to Toad.

Shadow groaned, now she was going to be stuck listening to 'Daddy this, daddy that' along with the 'but so and so said', 'in this movie', and 'I'm so sexy's.

Toad grinned and nudged Shadow "Why don't' you join my fan club? Always room for one more." he trailed off as he eyed her and bounced his eyebrows.

Lance glared at Toad from afar and used his power to rumble the Earth near Toad as if saying 'leave her alone'.

Shadow noticed the rumbling and said smoothly "Oh but I have a problem with tongues 4 feet long. Pity cause I might have joined otherwise!" the last part was dripping in sarcasm. "Anyway I'd rather sit next to the walking Richter scale." She added nodding towards Lance.

Toad shrugged, "your loss," then turned to Lance "Hey earthquake boy.is that a challenge?" he crowed.

Lance stood up and straightened his back, "Y-ye-No! No yo!" he said nervously and sat back down shaking his head, muttering "stupid yo! Stupid, stupid!" as Toad smirked and said "didn't think so."

Kurt placed a hand on Lance's shoulder, "Just eggnore heem." He told him as Creed leaned a head on Lance's other shoulder, "You just need a big hug!" he cooed as he wrapped his huge furry arms around Lance.

"Ew yo! Get away from me!" Lance said pushing Creed away. He looked at Sabertooth in disgust "pull it togetha yo!"

Creed was about to reply when a door flew open and a certain Wanda scuttled to her seat. A tall strong, white haired man walked in, dressed in a dark red shirt and black pants. Everyone including Evan rose as he entered.

Evan stared at the man and said "Magneto."

A/N: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words.really it is! A rosary, Lyrit says, is a collection of prayer beads attached to a cross. So Kurt was showing Shadow the cross with rosary beads on it. The movie Sam is referring to in the beer part (where he talks about how beer made the bitch do something interesting.) is 10 Things I Hate About You when Kat goes to the party with Heath Ledger's character. Also, thanks for all the reviews!
