So what are those adults doing while all of this is going on? Hold on to your seats!

Truth or Dare

"I spy with my little eye…" Hank sighed as the adults all sat on the floor. "Something beginning with W."

"Wall," Cover Girl said immediately.

"Yup," Hank sighed. "Your turn."

"I spy with my little eye something beginning with F," Cover Girl said.

"Floor," Hank said.

"Got it in one," Cover Girl said.

"I spy with my little eye something beginning with C," Hank said.

"Ceiling," Cover Girl said.

"Right again," Hank remarked.

"Got any more of that beer?" Ororo asked.

"Here ya go," Jinx handed her some from a cooler.

"Well I spy something beginning with I," Logan snapped. "IDIOT!"

"It is not my fault we're locked in here!" Hank bristled.

"Wanna bet?" Logan snapped.

"I can't believe we've been locked in here for over an hour," Ororo groaned.

"I can't believe no one's showed up to get us out!" Logan growled.

"I can," Jinx said. "Didn't anyone try to mentally contact Jean or something?"

"I did," Ororo sighed. "But for some reason I'm not getting through to her."

"Gee I wonder why?" Cover Girl glared at Jinx.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Jinx snapped.

"Well things do have a habit of going wrong whenever you're around!" Cover Girl snapped.

"I am not bad luck!" Jinx snapped. "Why do people always say things like that?"

"Because everything goes wrong when you show up," Low Light told her. "Remember the time you were put on KP duty?"

"Those pipes were old and they burst on their own!" Jinx snapped.

"Pipe down the both of you!" Logan snapped. "This was all an accident! Blaming each other's not gonna solve anything! Oh man things must be desperate if I'm the voice of reason here!"

"How about another word game?" Hank asked.

"Okay fine," Low Light snapped. "Make a sentence out of these words: me, bite hairball!"

"Oh yeah?" Hank said. "How's this one: yours, low, up, light!"

"You wanna go a couple rounds?" Low Light stood up.

"Bring it on, Rookie!" Hank stood up.

"Rookie?" Low Light snarled. "Rookie?"

"KNOCK IT OFF!" Logan snapped. "As much as I'd love to beat the crap outta somebody right now, that ain't gonna help us! We gotta do something to keep us occupied until someone finds us!"

"Like what?" Low Light asked. "Play a game of Truth or Dare?"

"I'm up for that," Cover Girl said.

"You would be!" Low Light snapped. "I am not playing that game with you again! I will not!"

"What you chicken?" Hank asked.

"I am not chicken," Low Light snapped. "I just don't…"

"BUCKAW!" Hank made chicken noises and flapped his arms like a chicken. "Buck-buck-caw!"

"Oh you wanna play?" Low Light said. "Fine! We'll play! Let's get this on! Just don't say I didn't warn you!"

"Fine we'll all play!" Hank sat down.

"Great!" Logan said. Soon they were all sitting in a circle.

"I can't believe we are playing truth or dare like a group of teenagers," Ororo groaned.

"Well just be grateful that Shipwreck isn't locked in here with us," Hank said.

"That's the only reason I haven't gone insane," Ororo sighed. "It is nice and peaceful in here isn't it? At least when you lunatics aren't fighting with each other."

"Okay so how do we play this?" Logan asked.

"You're kidding?" Cover Girl asked. She rubbed her hands together. "Oh this is gonna be good!"

"Say your prayers Wolverine," Low Light said. "You just walked into the biggest ambush ever!"

"It's simple," Jinx smiled. "You do either a truth or a dare when asked. Your choice. If you complete it, then you get to ask the next person and so on and so on."

"So who starts?" Logan asked. Everyone grinned at him. "I had to ask. Okay…um…um…"

"Well?" Jinx asked.

"I'm working on it!" Logan said. "Ah…Jinx. Truth or dare?"

"Dare," Jinx grinned.

"Okay…" Logan sighed. "I dare you to…give me a kiss."

"That is so lame!" Jinx groaned. She kissed him. "I'd expected more from you!"

"Oh and I suppose you can do better?" Logan snapped.

"Easy!" Jinx said. "Truth or Dare?"

"Dare!" Logan said.

"I dare you to…" Jinx grinned. "Declare your undying love for me in a poem."

"You are kidding?" Logan looked at her. "A poem?"

"You got it!" She grinned.

"Yes Logan," Hank grinned. "Express your feelings in verse, for better or for worse."

"How's this? Roses are red, violets are blue, I declare my undying love for you!" Logan said.

"Now you people are sounding like Roadblock," Low Light said.

"That's the best you can do?" Jinx asked.

"Not exactly the most flowery of verse," Hank said. "However you could have done worse."

"Look what the hell do you want from me? I ain't exactly Will Shakespeare or anything! I go again!" Logan snapped. "Hank truth or dare?"

"Dare," Hank said.

"I dare you to put on some lipstick and dance around singing 'I Feel Pretty'," Logan grinned.

"Are you nuts?" Hank yelled.

"Now that is a dare!" Cover Girl laughed.

"Ha! Ha!" Low Light smirked. "Now who's chicken?"

"Here you go Beastie," Cover Girl fished out a lipstick from her pocket. "This should suit you fine."

"Oh I can not wait to watch this," Ororo giggled.

"It's not really my color," Hank muttered as he put it on.

"You look like Bozo the Clown," Low Light snickered.

"Come on I want to hear some entertainment!" Logan hooted.

"I feel pretty…oh so pretty," Hank pranced around. Soon everyone was on the floor laughing at his act.

"You're pretty all right," Jinx snickered.

"Pretty stupid looking!" Low Light roared.

"Okay now it's payback time!" Hank snapped when he finished.

"Yeah like I'm scared of any dare you could come up with," Logan laughed. "Jinx maybe but other than that…"

"Hey!" Ororo was feeling the effects of the beer in her head. "I could come up with a great dare!"

"I doubt it," Jinx waved.

"Well I dare you to come up with a good dare!" Ororo told her.

"Well my dares are going to be the stuff legends are made out of," Hank said.

"Please," Low Light waved.

"Oh like you could do better?" Hank fumed.

"Easy," Low Light said.

"You don't even know what it is yet!" Ororo snapped.

"I know whatever it is, it'll be pretty lame," Low Light said.

"Oh really?" Hank asked.

"Yeah really," Low Light said.

"He's got a point there," Jinx pointed to Low Light.

"What? Are you implying that Joes are just better at this game than we X-Men are?" Hank snapped.

"I ain't implying anything, I'm saying right to your face!" Jinx snapped.

"Please," Logan waved. "We X-Men can beat you Joes any day in this!"

"Oh is that so?" Jinx asked.

"Yeah!" Logan said.

"Oh yeah?" Cover Girl grinned. "Well I got the best dare of all! And everybody has to do it! Can you handle it?"

"Why not?" Logan asked.

"I have no problem with it," Ororo said.

"Bring it on!" Hank snapped.

"Okay," Cover Girl grinned. "I dare all of you to…strip to your underwear and play spin the bottle!"

"WHAT?" Ororo gasped.

"All right!" Logan grinned. "I like this game!"

"You can't be serious," Hank asked.

"She is," Low Light groaned.

"Isn't this a little immature?" Ororo asked.

"So what's your point?" Cover Girl asked. "I'm doing it!" She started to get undressed.

"What?" Hank yelled.

"Oh for crying out loud Hank we'll still have our underwear on," Cover Girl said.

"It's got to be the drink going to our heads," Jinx said as she pulled off her outfit. "Come on boys! Let's do it!"

"Oh my…" Hank gulped. "Um…I don't know about this…"

"Hank you practically walk around all day in your underwear anyway!" Logan growled as he got undressed.

"You have a point," Hank said as he started to remove his turtleneck.

"It's not like the kids are doing it," Ororo said. "We are adults after all."

"We'll use this empty beer bottle," Logan took one out of a small cooler nearby. "Jinx and I were…uh…"

"Yeah we can guess what you two were doing," Low Light said as he removed his uniform. Soon they were all in their underwear.

"Boxers," Jinx looked at the guys. "Boxers…Hank I never figured you for a brief man."

"Well I do wear something underneath my uniform," Hank crossed his arms. He then looked at the women. "Oh my stars and garters…"

"Oh for crying out loud Hank it's not like you haven't seen me in a bathing suit or anything before," Ororo made a face. She was wearing a white bra and blue panties.

Jinx was wearing a matching set of red bra and underwear. "Maybe we should lay some ground rules before this gets out of hand?"

"We are in our underwear playing spin the bottle," Ororo said. "I think it's already gotten out of hand."

"I'm telling you one thing I am not kissing any of the guys!" Low Light snapped.

"The feeling's mutual bub!" Logan said.

"Who's going first?" Cover Girl asked.

"I will!" Hank said boldly. He spun the bottle and it pointed at Ororo.

"Oh my!" Ororo blinked.

"Come on Hank," Logan grinned. "Give her a good one!"

"Well what are you waiting for?" Ororo asked. "Pucker up!"

"Well if you insist," Hank kissed her on the lips.

"Oh my god…" Kitty's voice broke in. They turned and saw Kitty standing there with Rogue and Althea. While both Rogue and Kitty looked like they were going to have a heart attack on the spot, Althea looked very amused.

"Oh my god…" Kitty repeated herself.

Rogue moaned. "This is so embarrassing!"

"You're embarrassed?" Logan groaned as he grabbed his pants.

"Can't leave you kids alone for a second now can we?" Althea grinned. "Don't let us interrupt you. However you might want to know the party is getting a little out of hand."

"It must be for you three to come looking for us," Jinx sighed.

"Okay how much do you want for you two to never speak of this?" Low Light growled as he put his uniform back on.

"I don't know if you can put a price on this," Althea grinned.

"Oh my god…" Kitty blinked. "Oh my god…"

"Oh for crying out loud Kitty it's just a bunch of old people getting it on," Althea said.

"Hey!" Jinx snapped. "We are not old!"

"Okay what's happening?" Logan asked as he put his pants back on.

"That's what we were gonna ask you," Althea grinned.

"Althea!" Ororo said sharply.

"Well you have to admit this situation is kind of funny," Althea said. "I mean you guys are always preaching about our raging hormones and here all of you are…"

"Yes, yes we get it!" Hank moaned. "Now will you please bring us up to speed on what's happening?"

"Before or after Jean got drunk?" Rogue asked.

"Oh dear," Hank put his hand to his head. "This is not going to be good is it?"

************************************************************************

"I love flying!" Jean laughed as she flew around on the ceiling.

"Somebody get that girl down!" Ms. March snarled.

"Jean come down from the ceiling right now!" Ororo stormed in with the rest of the adults.

"Party pooper," Jean floated down. "Hey! Watch what I can do!" She lifted several of the guests telekinetically. "Whee! Now everybody can fly!"

"Oh man this is so weird," Ralph said as he floated around. He bumped into Ray. "Hey watch it!"

"Young lady put me down right now!" Irene shouted. She bumped into Xi.

"Okay," Jean let them go and they collapsed on the floor in a heap.

"Xi get off Irene's head," Shipwreck said. "Do you need help?"

"Please," Irene groaned as Shipwreck helped her up. "Thank you!"

"Here my dear let me kiss you and make it better?" He puckered up.

"You idiot!" Irene thwacked Shipwreck with her cane.

"Well she should have known that Shipwreck would try that," Cover Girl said.

"Yeah you would have thought being able to see the future she'd have seen that one coming?" Todd scratched his head.

"She's not a precog," Xi looked at Irene.

"What?" Irene started.

Xi then grabbed Irene's wrist. "This has been bothering me all night. I had a nagging feeling that wouldn't go away, but until I first touched you I wasn't sure…SHAPESHIFTER!"

"That ain't Irene?" Remy shouted.

"No it is not," Xi growled. "Three guesses who she really is!"

They all started at Irene. "Drop the act!" Logan snapped. "It's over Mystique!"

"Momma…" Rogue stared at her as Mystique returned to her rightful shape.
