Chapter 9: Teddy Bear

Lance Alvers poked around disgustedly at his food. " Cheese macaroni! Yuck!" he muttered trying to hide his feelings of nausea when he saw how quickly the rest gobbled down their food as if there were gonna be no tomorrow or something. He sighed wondering what excuse was he going to use this time.

Just then, the professor's deep grave voice pierced through his train of thoughts. "Next week would be declared independence week." Said the professor waiting for the idea to sink into the confused faces before continuing...

"Mrs. summers and I have decided to take a one week vacation to the Maldives as a reward to ourselves. All duties would be handed over to Logan who will look after your welfare for the week. However, each of you would be assigned to a household chore in order to lighten Logan's duties. The schedule is posted on the library room door." The multitude of moans and groans came, fast and furious as the professor expected.

'Man this sucks!" voiced a very irritated Pietro, who was known to be the slacker and the vain-pot of the lot.

"We're gonna have some cat waking us up for the whole of next week! Prrr... Meow..." Said Pietro in mock imitation of a cat and cracking up at the sight of Kitty's furious face going a tomato red. ~God she does look funny when she's angry~, Pietro thought to himself.

"Shut up Maximoff!" growled Kitty, her eyes menacingly angry. She hated it when people made fun of her name. It turned out that Kitty was in charge of waking everybody up, Pietro to do the dishes, Rogue the laundry, Bobby the gardening, Lance, Kurt and Jubilee had the household chores. The young residents complained against the roster but it was in vain against Logan's stern looks.

"I hope you guys do a satisfactory job next week." He said before leaving the room...
