Woobles all! I feel so totally evil. #_# I have no excuse at all, just that I got bored of X-men Evo. Well, the reason you're actually getting another chapter is because I am bored. Seriously, outta-my-mind bored. A 2-week sudden holiday [so they call it] curfewed at home coupled with a 2-week abstinence of manga and anime is enough to drive one insane. >.
So, thank you all my reviewers who have undoubtedly all flown away now: todd fan [crying is good for you :)], Cammy [I feel so guilty for not updating now. Yup I will be writing at least a one booth chapter], MBLite [50 dollars...are you sure you don't have it?], Charlie [hehehe, slashy means guy/guy or girl/girl. Cute suggestions, thanks!], happymaximus [thank you for the information I much desired!], coconuttrey [hmm, interesting suggestions], RyanGosling4Ever [I feel even more guilty…], fiReylighT [after how many mths, I've forgotten which letters have caps already.]
So well, this chapter isn't really very funny, mostly just plenty of Jean-bashing. Enjoy!

**Chapter 6 - Not Jean's Place to Comment**
==JEAN'S DIARY - DO NOT READ==
Dearest Darling Diary,
Today we rehearsed Scene: Road to Platform 9 ¾. It is not my place to comment, but I must admit that I think Professor X has not much talent with titles. Now, it is not my place to comment, but I can suggest some good titles. For example... However, I shall not list the possible names Professor X could have used, as it is not my place.
To return to the topic at hand, we had a most unsuccessful 2 hours of rehearsal. Logan and Professor X had a most heated telepathic debate (on Professor X's side - I still have a slight headache from Logan's roars, due to my delicate ear condition) on whether we should use Kitty's powers to phase the actors through the 'wall' to 'Platform 9 ¾'. Logan was all for it, claiming, without an iota of proof, that it was too amateur to pass through black drapes that pass for walls. Professor X, however, had the sound judgement that it would be too risky with the number of people who would turn up to watch our play and might expose us. Now, I take no sides, and deign not to influence the wiser elders, but I must say I agree with Professor X.
However, Logan eventually won Professor X over, if I may use the term so loosely. Rather, Logan threatened to cut Professor X out as Professor Dumbledore if he didn't let Kitty phase them through. He did however agree with Professor X that the light should be dimmed when they are phasing through so the audience cannot see clearly what is going on. It is not my place to say anything, but I must say that it is most unwise for Logan and Professor X to have such a childish disagreement as well as threatening each other in front of impressionable youngsters, particularly the Brotherhood. We are here to offer them a helping hand, to shape and mould them into people like me, not to encourage their methods!
The rehearsal did not get better. It took Logan 15 minutes and 5 bucks to convince Todd to be Mrs Weasley. Logan thinks that Todd would make a good Mrs Weasley because he's short and his face is dumpy-looking (of course, he put it in more euphemistic terms, but being me, I could see through the façade right away). It is really not my place to comment, but I do think the role of Mrs Weasley should be given to someone more experienced and responsible and who is better at acting. I do not mean to flatter myself, but after all, Mrs Weasley has red hair.
It is not my place to comment, but the others' acting were not much better. Scott, as usual, was rather stiff. He always was rather wooden and prim, poor boy, and he wonders why I do not go out with him. Kurt was way too self-conscious, especially about his wig, and kept scratching it. I must say I am rather insulted. I made that wig myself, thus the quality is assured. He has no need to behave like there is lice in it.
Rogue was acting as obnoxious as always. She refused to say her lines and acted sulky, most unlike how George - or Georgia, should act like. If she would only ask me, I would be glad to help her improve her acting. Evan on the other hand, seemed to think he had to make up for Rogue's gloominess by acting excessively clown-like, hopping around and giving everyone rabbit ears.
Even though the Brotherhood was not needed in this scene, Logan insisted that they come over to 'help out'. However, I really do not think that Logan's definition of helping out meant skulking around the set shouting out derisive comments to the actors. It is not my place to comment, but I do believe Logan made a mistake getting them to come.
As I was the only X-Men who was not involved in the scene - no, I am certain it is not because of my poor acting skills (how could that be?) but because Professor X deemed I was the only one responsible enough to keep the Brotherhood in check. So, though I was filled with a strong desire not to, I did my job and tried to stop the Brotherhood from wreaking havoc.
It is not often that I, Jean Grey, honour roll student, fail in my missions, but I must confess that today I did. It is not my place to comment, but I HATE THE BROTHERHOOD!!! Sorry, I need to calm down. Its just that...my nerves are somewhat frazzled after the ordeal. Do you know what the Brotherhood did to me? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BROTHERHOOD DID TO ME??? DO YOU??? DO YOU???
Okay, I take that as a no.Well, they did the worst thing possible to me. They...they...ignored me! Even Fred! THEY IGNORED ME!!! ME!!! DO YOU GET IT??? DO YOU??? DO YOU???
I need a drink.
xxxxxooooo

Now, Jean, it is not my place to comment, you being our oh-so-wise-but-still-so-humble senior, but next time don't choose the sofa to hide your diary. My bottom is still rather sore. - Rogue
P.S. You can call it Scene: I Was Not In This Scene So It Is Not Important Enough To Have A Name. And yes, we get it.
~tbc~
Next chapter: Logan's absent from this rehearsal, 'Snape' insists he didn't steal the Stone, Jean's authority is undermined, Lance's limping abilities come under the microscope, Kurt's vocabulary manifests itself to the amazement of everyone, and various fanfiction pairings are discussed.
Another reason why I'm updating: X-men Evo is coming to Singaporeeeeeeeeee!! About time, I'd say. In conjunction with the X-men movie, I suppose. I can't wait for that one either. Agree? Anyway, review please!
Lotsa Loff,
