Rogue hid a smile as Scott left the room, amazed at his talent.
Bobby glared at Tabby and Jubes.
"This, this, this whole thing is a disaster! We have NO drums, NO bass, and who exactly was going to sing?" Bobby demanded angrily.
"Me. And if you've got a problem with that, Eskimo Boy, you can leave too," Tabby retorted, her hands filling with cherry bombs of various sizes.
Bobby stared at her for a second longer, then relented. He sighed, sounding defeated. "Ok, ok. It's just...my band! It's falling apart and it's only been in existence for-" he glanced at his watch; and upon finding he didn't have one, said, "-a very short time."
The three girls nodded sympathetically, and Tabby ran to throw the cherry bombs out the window before they exploded while Jubilee came over to where he was standing and put her hand on his shoulder. "Look, the four of us can at least have fun. I mean, Tabby sings great-" Rogue shuddered slightly "-and I'm pretty good at the keyboard. You and Rogue are both awesome at guitar, so we could just play for fun."
He looked at her and a smile spread across his face. "Yeah, you're right. Who needs them?" Motioning Jubilee back to her keyboard, he picked up his guitar. "All right, people, let's do 'Sweetness'-you all know it, right?" Everyone nodded, so he loudly said "One, two, one, two, three, four," and started the intro to it, glad to finally be playing music with people who could also play.
Alas, that was not to be, for Rogue was soon off playing some song of her own design.
Bobby slashed his hand across his throat, effectively killing the music.
"What?" asked Rogue, surprised.
"What the crap was that?" Bobby demanded, now frustrated beyond the point of no return.
"Look, sugah, Ah ahm a musician, and so Ah need complete artistic freedom. If ya have a problem with that, Ah can leave," she retorted.
Bobby's eyebrows shot up. He would have expected a response like that from Tabby or Jubilee, or even Kitty, but not Rogue. He mentally shrugged, figuring that Rogue's roommate's personality must have really rubbed off on Rogue.
"Fine. You know what? This whole band idea sucks. Nobody can play an instrument to save their lives, and of the precious few who can, they don't want to!!" Bobby ranted. He kept venting loudly as he slowly, unconsciously began shifting into his ice form.
"Didn't wahnt ta be in a stupid band anyways," mumbled Rogue as she left the room carrying her guitar.
Tabby and Jubilee looked at each other in stunned disbelief. How could their wonderful idea have backfired so badly? It didn't make any sense.
Suddenly, Bobby shifted his focus from the world in general to the two mutant girls in the room with him. With a half-crazed look in his eyes, he started walking towards them, heedless of his guitar or anything else.
Jubilee and Tabby looked at each other again and started backing away from Bobby and towards the door. They didn't want to be the object of Bobby's frustrations, but from the gleam in his eyes, they were about to become just that.
He saw Jubilee glance toward the doorway, and he quickly iced it over. "Uh-uh. You started this whole band thing, so now you're gonna end it.
