Congrats to Lucky439 on being my first reviewer on this fic. And probably
my only one.

Unknown to all of them, I'd been listening to them. When you have my hearing, sometimes you can't help hearing things and this sounded like something that I wanted to hear. A bet? On me? It sounded VERY interesting. And I was up for it. After all, two can play at that game. Or five, in this case.
If they were making plans (and going by the fact that Jubes was following me around with a notebook and camera, I assumed they were), then I was going to have to make plans too.
Rule Number One (absolute and must not ever be broken): don't let them know you're on to them.
Rule Number Two: play along with it for as long as possible.
And so, with that in mind, I was ready to get started. Just a shame the women were so intent on planning their plans and doing it all properly. And cheating.
I didn't even mean to catch Ororo cheating, but I found her getting John to set fire to Jubilee's notebook. And she wasn't even bothered that I caught her. I was tempted to ask her about it, but then I mentally referred to Rule Number One. So I said casually, "Nice day for a bonfire then, Ororo?"
She nodded. I think I was wrong but she might have had Jubes's camera in there too.
Jean was still busy planning. She was sat at a desk, writing out a long plan. Now, I wasn't being nosy or anything but I did catch the words "itching powder" on there, along with "constipation" (oh, shoot) and "flood bedroom". Why are women such dirty rotten cheats? Why could they not play fair?
I would have expected better of Rogue. But no. She was at it too. She'd stolen a large and extensive photo collection from Jubilee's sock drawer and was busy studying them while drawing out diagrams of plans. Why oh why were the words "Muller Light" circled in thick red marker pen in the middle?
And as for Jubilee??? She was baking. No kidding. She was down in the kitchen baking a cake for me. What that would achieve, I don't know. I was dying to tip her off, you know, say, "Rogue's been through your sock drawer," but she might realise I know what's going on. And that would be cheating on my part. I don't want to show favouritism.
