Okay, before we get to the story, I must answer a question for That Swedish Guy. On a scale from 1 to 10 I'd have to say truthfully that Pixie Stix aren't so powerful. Probably give them a 4 at the most(maybe three). However you must keep in mind that these guys have had way more than one. Considering the amount they've had I'd have to give the Pixie Stix a 9. Are you telling me you've never had any?! *Looks horrified* Oh My God!! You must go have some. Yes, go!!
Hmmmmm, Cyclops on a caffine high, eh? That has some potential. It may just happen one day:)
Um, well, I guess I'm done now. On with the story!!
Chapter seven
Bobby walked aimlessy down the mall's corridors getting slightly annoyed at the crowd and looking for something to do.// Hmmm, I wonder if I should go back to the pet store and see what the monkeys are doing? Nah, there's got to be something else... Hey, an elevator! I didn't know there was an elevator here!// Bobby walked up to the elevator, a huge grin plastered across his face. A plan was quickly forming in his mind.//I need to find a box.// With that thought he took off at a run to look for a suitable box.
Remy was walking around not that far away also wondering what he was going to do next.
"Cool! An arcade!"
He smiled to himself as he practically skipped over to the arcade and looked around at all the games and people.
"What to play first?" He walked over to the racing games and selecting one took a seat and put a dollar into the machine. He waited tensely for the countdown for the start of the race to end. 3...2...1..."GOOOOOOOOO!Go go go!!!!" Remy screamed as the green light came on and he slamed his foot down on the fake plastic gas pedal, crouching down over the stearing wheel. His car caught up to a racer ahead of him and he slamed into it from the side, forcing the other car into the ditch. "HAHA!! TAKE THAT YOU LOSER!!" He then aimed his car for the next target.
Bobby was standing in the elevator, empty box at his side all taped up so that no one could see inside it. He waited patiently as the elevator filled with people, humming to himself. Once the doors closed and the elevator began to move he stopped humming and looked around like he was listening to something.
"Uh, does anyone else hear a ticking noise?" he asked.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! THERE"S A BOMB ON THE ELEVATOR!!!" one man sreamed.
"It must be there in that box!!!" a woman said pointing at the box by Bobby's feet.
"OH GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!" Bobby screamed, playing his part. The elevator came to a stop and the doors opened. Everybody raced out of the elevator, screaming and running for their lives. Bobby walked out after them, twirling a Pixie Stix between his fingers and chuckling to himself. He quickly walked away from the elevator, heading for the other end of the mall.
The X-Men were walking down the hall, Wolverine leading the way.
"Did you find the trail yet?" Cyclops asked.
"Yep, there definetly in this end of the mall. They've split up though."
"Great," Cyclops said sarcastically. "We'll split up as well. Pair off, we'll find them faster that way. Warren, your with Bishop. Jean with Storm and Rogue your with me. Wolverine you need to find Jubilee." Everyone nodded their agreement before splitting up to continue their search.
"Check it out. Another elevator!" Bobby skidded to a halt at the opposite end of the mall. "Cool! Now I can have more fun!" He boarded the elevator, another man following him on. Bobby waited for the doors to slide close and then looked over at the man. He lifted his arm up and around the man's shoulders, tapping the man on the shoulder opposite to him. The man turned his head and glared at Bobby. "What?" Bobby said trying to look innocent. "It wasn't me!" The man turned away. Bobby did it again.
"Look kid, I know it's you. You're the only one on the elevator." The man practically growled.
Bobby looked hurt. "I would never lie, and I'm telling you it wasn't me."
"Well who was it then?"
"Maybe it was one of those monkeys that got out at the pet store?" The doors slide open then and the man walked out grumbling to himself. Another person took his place next to Bobby. Bobby grinned to himself and did it again.
Warren and Bishop were walking down the mall heading towards the arcade as they figured Bobby would most likely be there.
"So, when we get there you'll go in first. I'll be your backup," Warren said. He was looking nervously around like he expected to be attacked at any moment.
"Afraid, Worthington?" Bishop questioned.
"We should all be afraid. Bobby and Remy lose in the mall. God, I hope we survive this."
"I think you're over reacting." *BOOM* An explosion rocked the mall and smoke billowed out of the arcade ahead of them.
Warren cocked an eyebrow. "Am I?"
Bishop did not answer but ran ahead and into the arcade. Warren followed but remained outside.
"YOU BLOODY MACHINE!!" Remy yelled, throwing another charged card at it. " NO WAY COULD I HAVE LOST AGAIN!!" He stood back and looked at the twisted hunk of metal the game had become.
"Now, Gambit, just calm down and come quietly," Bishop said causiously approaching. Gambit whipped around and glared at him, eyes blazing.
"Dey rigged dat machine, mon ami."
"I'm sure they did. Now come with me." He took another step towards Remy. Remy took a step back. "Don't be foolish Gambit. It's time to go home."
"Don' you come any closer, homme." Bishop stepped forward.
"We need to take you and Bobby home."
"But dis is so much fun, mon ami. Why would I want to leave?"
"BISHOP! DID YOU GET HIM YET?" Warren yelled from outside. Bishop turned slightly towards him. That moment of distraction was all Gambit needed.
"YAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He leapt toward Bishop, throwing a card at him. As Bishop ducked it Gambit leapt over him and ran out of the arcade.
"WARREN, STOP HIM!!"
Remy ran out to Warren and shot him an insane look, grinning all the while. Warren cringed back and took to the air. Remy laughed and took off down the hall, disapearing around the corner.
"Damnit, Worthington! You let him get away. Coward." Warren landed next to Bishop and glared at him but did not reply. "Come on. We have to try and find him again." The two took off at run down the hall.
