Chapter 7: Inside the Institute

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Bang, bang! Evan snapped awake. Then fell back onto his pile of hay, which was explained to being his bed. Other students or inmates were rather jealous at the fact he was allowed a hay bed.

Only the paying inmates got little hay beds.

"Billy! Stop making so much noise," Evan groaned trying to go back to sleep. The sound repeated itself even louder this time. "For crying out loud Billy," he started getting up about to talk to his 'cellmate' when someone was peering through his door at him.

"Uh…hi?" he gulped.

The man sniffed the air and suddenly hollered, trying to break into the cell.

Evan screamed and moved farther back to the corner.

"No! Bad Logan! No tormenting the prisone…er…uh students. Well not yet at least," Xavier said, zapping Logan with the cattle prod.

Logan hobble away.

"Breakfast," Xavier said then continued down the hall.


Rogue awoke. "No! Get away!" she yelled her nightmare away. She lie next to the door, unaware of the fact, at least a little too late.

A hand grabbed her from behind and started growling at her. Somehow she managed to break away from the grip and moved to the corner screaming brushing her clothes off. "Ahh! Don't touch me! Stop! Stop touching me!" Still frantically brushing the thought of someone touching her.

ZAP! Then some sort of yipe filled the hallway. "Heel! Damn…" Xavier was interrupted by the continuous out cries of Rogue. "Hey!" he yelled. But it was no use.

He threw a conveniently placed rock at her. A direct hit she fell to the ground and stopped yelling. "Shut up!" Xavier said, "Breakfast is ready." Then moved onto the next student.


The six of them occupied the kitchen area. Food was slapped onto the plates. Once they were ready to eat Kitty dived into the room. Looking around she breathed a sigh of relief. "Jeepers, that was close," she said getting up and taking an empty seat where a plate of grub was.

"The word 'Jeepers' is a line from Scooby Doo that the character Velma is most famous for. Therefore in the event in you using that word might bring up some copy right laws and…" Jean was cut off by Kitty flipping out of the chair.

"BEHIND YOU!" Kitty said, peeking over the chair.

"You really don't expect me to fall for you stupid insecurities about a pink polar bear," Jean said.

Behind her she heard a low growl. She laughed quietly, thinking it was her own imagination. When she turned there the pink polar bear was.

"AHHH!" Jean and Kitty screamed running into each other as they made a mad dash for their cells.

The others looked on in horror. But then Xavier came in behind the polar bear laughing. He tugged at the polar bears head and it came off. There Logan stood, growling occasionally. "I've had this costume for year's and I never knew what to do with it until now," Xavier said, leading Logan back to his cell by carrying a piece of bacon in front of him.

The others sat there, shocked.


Evan smiled, changing the mood. "So, breakfast is here? That's great!
Bob loves breakfast! He'll have pancakes and toast, and Billy wants
cereal, and..." He trailed off, looking at an incoming german boy.

Once Kurt had taken a seat next to Scott he blinked, giving out a terrified scream. "HOLY CRAP DOES HE SEE ME?!" Next to him, Scott fell over onto Kurt's lap, causing the two boys to fall to the ground. Evan gasped. "Be careful! You almost fell on Joe!!!"

Kurt's lovely glasses fell to the ground, and he began reaching for
them. "My glasses! My glasses! People will SEE me without my
glasses!!!"

"People can see you any way, Kurt," Scott corrected. Several heads looked at Scott, suspiciously.

"I thought you were blind?" Ororo questioned.

All eyes gazed at him. He began to sweat. "I…I…uh Jean told me," he said.

Still a bit hesitant about his answer the others decided to let it go. Still in a frantic search of his glasses Kurt bumped into Rogue. She started screaming hysterically and began running around the kitchen.

"Look out! Rogue you just knocked over Bob!" Evan stated, helping Bob up.

After hearing that, Rogue screamed even louder since she touched someone else. Regardless of the fact the person was imaginary.

An air horn erupted in the doorway as Xavier wheeled in. "Now I hate to do this so early in the morning, but…" he reached into his pocket. Scott and Ororo were already halfway out of the kitchen by then.

Immediately after the dreaded sock puppet showed its... sock-puppety face,
Kitty jumped out of her seat. "You can break our spirits, but you'll never
get me!!!" She lunged at Xavier's sock-covered hand and bit it furiously.
Everyone gasped, looking at Kitty.

She let go of the Professor's hand several moments later and laughed
hysterically... soon after, her laughter faded. "W-Where did the fuzzy
serpent of DOOM go?" She blinked mindlessly, and noticed she had bitten the
Professor's hand. She "eep"ed and ran out for dear life. The room was full
of silence. A glint of fury showed upon the Professor's face, and he ran
after Kitty waving the sock puppet in the air. Jean, Rogue, and Kurt soon
evacuated to their cells.

Evan sat there eating innocently at the breakfast table, humming a song in
his head happily. He looked next to him. "Isn't breakfast the best time of
the day, Billy?"
