"It was the best of times. It was the worst of times," thought professor X..

"more like the worst of times in this case," he muttered out loud. Summer

break had started for all of our merry mutants about a week ago, but already

there were some whines and complaints of boredom. "several years of this

Charles, you'd think you would have come up with a summer plan by this

time," he scolded himself. *Ororo, Logan, Hank, please come to my office * he called. Maybe they have some ideas....

A few minutes later, all three of the teachers came in. "Ororo, Hank, Logan,

do any of you have any ideas on what we could do with the students?"

asked the professer

. "we thought you'd never ask," grinned Logan. "we, (he indicated himself,

ororo, and hank) have already come up with a plan." Hank lavishly

presented the professor with a camping brochure.

"camping?

" "yes." Said ororo. "all the students could go together as sort of

a...survival training adventure. We'll give them minimum supplies and

from there they'll have to make it on there own."

"hm...a survival expedition...but somethings missing..." said

charles.

"Oh yay," said Logan in that happy/evil sounding voice of his. "We decided

to kidnap the brotherhood and drag them along as well."

"They might get some real bonging time together!" said Hank, almost

pleadingly.

"Your brilliant! Charles finally exclaimed. "no brotherhood, no students, just

me, you guys, the tv, a couple of bottles of beer, some cuban cigars..."

As Charles continued to ramble on, Ororo Hank, and Logan quietly left the

room.

"I think the idea of an empty house has gone to his head." Growled Logan.

"Naw, he's just really happy" said Ororo.

"We better get packing and kidnap the brotherhood soon if we want them

gone by tomorrow morning," Hank reminded them.

"We didn't tell Chuck that we were kidnapping the brotherhood, did we?"

inquired Logan.

"No, we sort of.forget to tell him?"

"Oh...right."

"Now, Ororo you get the essential supplies. I'll get the the non-perishable

food, and Logan you get the beer and party hats. Any questions?" asked

Hank.

"Nope."

"Nada."

"Right, TALLY HO!"
