Yay to my reviewers, who are the best people on the planet. Without the reviews, i wouldn't bother writing. Bravo to you! I bet you're all getting REALLY peeved wanting to know who sent those bloody flowers. Well you shall just have to wait. Sorry for the late update, been working on my next Sidney chronicle, and then ff.net was evil for a while and i couldn't get the upload chapter thing to work.
Chapter 16 - Lost and Found and lost again.

The group had woken up bright and early the next morning, they had combed the forest once more, and once more coming up with nothing. Defeated, they all went back to the camp to report a missing person, only to find Amara waiting for them by the gate.
"Where were you guys?", she said, crossing her arms, "i only stayed in the town for one night and you guys go off camping!".
"You...stayed..in...town?", said Scott, turning a very strange colour.
"Yeah", said Amara with a grin, "and i got my first kiss!. Yeah baby!".
"Really?", said Tabby, "i didn't see you with a guy...i think".
"That's becasue i dragged him away from you vultures before you tried to steal him", said Amara, "heck, you guys wouldn't have let me have a moment alone with...whats wrong with Wanda?".
Everyone turned to Wanda, who was just smiling happily to herself.
"We don't know", admited Lance, "she's been like that since last night".
"Ah think ah know", said Rogue with a knowing smirk.
"Then please tell us!", snapped Pietro, "'cause i really want to know whats happened to my sister. She never smiles, never!".
"Tra la la", sang Rogue, "a'h will never tell".
Suddenly, Kitty and Jean came racing towards them.
"We've got another problem", said Jean, "Amanda and Kurt ran off".
"You're kidding", said Lance, blinking.
"No", said Kitty, "they left a note saying they were eloping to Las Vegas".
Everyone started blankly. Pietro was the first to speak.
"Guess we're going to Las Vegas then", he said, the grinned, "VIVA LAS VEGAS BABY!".
"And HOW do you suggest we do that?", asked Rogue, tapping her foot.
"Don't worry", said Tabby with a smirk, "i have a cunning plan".

A few hours later found everyone crammed in one of the camps busses. A simple 'acidental' fire had distracted Haloway and Gelder as the teens piled into the buss. Todd was under the hood, rummaging around. Suddenly, the engine roared to life.
"Got it!", he said proudly, hopping into the buss and taking a seat next to Wanda, who surprised everyone by not shoving him away.
"Reduced to stealing a camp bus", said Scott, shaking his head.
"Oh shut up", said Lance, "i'll drive".
"NO, i'll drive!", snapped Scott.
The boys stared each other out, neither backing down, glaring at each other dangerously. Suddenly, the bus started to move.
"Oh, I'LL drive!".
Everyone turned to see to their utter horror, Kitty behind the wheel.
"I changed my mind, i want off!", screamed Pietro.
"Good God, the door wont open!", said Scott, pulling frantically at the buses door, "THE DOOR WON'T OPEN!!!!".
Jean sighed and pulled them all with her TK, sitting them down.
"Oh shut up, she'll get us there quicker", she said.
This was true, the bus started to pick up speed, very, very quickly
"We're going to die, aren't we?", asked Roberto with a sigh.
"More than likely", said Lance.
The bus sped off down the highway at a speed that Pietro would have had trouble keeping up with...if he hadn't been cowering under a seat in sheer terror. The mutants were heading to Las Vegas..there was no doubt about that.

There was go, sorry again for the lateness. Anyhoo, do review, what will our mutants get up to the Las Vegas?. Find out next time..
