"Mr. McCoy!!" Paul called as he ran back to the X-Mansion. "YO!! BEAST!!!" He saw lighting fly out of a window and Shipwreck yelling.
"YEEEEEEEOOOOWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!" Paul heard the noise, sighing.
"Will he ever learn?" Paul thought. He then started calling again. "BEEEEEEAST!!!!" Hank ran out.
"What is it?"
"Berzerker, the lightning dude." Paul pointed back the way he came. "He was playing with something and it hit him and Tabby blew him up. She's mad at him for something."
"Hoo boy." Beast mumbled. "Show me where, Starchild."

Craig Allman Starr walked around the Mansion, checking out the place.
"Maybe there's some valuables I can swipe." Smirking, he pulled Scott's wallet out of his jacket and looked it over. He counted the money inside. "Can't get a whole lot for twenty bucks these days." He then noticed something extremely unusual. "What the?" A small purple dragon waddled by. It had a blue collar with a golden tag on it. The tag said, "Hi! My name is Lockheed. If I am lost, please return me to Katherine Pryde." Craig scowled at the small lizard-like creature, as it looked up at him. It roared a greeting.
"Rowr!" Lockheed roared. Craig's eye glowed.
"What do you want! Go away! Go pester Shadowcat! She's your master, not me!" Craig snapped. The little dragon pointed at its open mouth. "What?"
"Ah! Ah!" Lockheed pointed at its mouth. Craig's eye stopped glowing.
"You're hungry, huh?" Craig asked. Lockheed nodded. "Ok...Try a little dish I whipped up." Craig's right eye glowed again. "Try my laser flambé!" Craig fired his eye laser. The dragon dodged and flew away in fright. Craig sent a couple more shots at Lockheed. He then put the wallet back in his jacket and continued on his way. "Heh Heh Heh." Craig quietly snickered to himself. "I hate this place. I really hate this place." Lockheed flew back to his mother. Kitty happened to be looking for Paul.
"Like, I could've sworn he was here." Kitty checked the bushes and scratched her head. Lockheed flew into her arms, crying. "Like, Lockheed! My poor baby. What happened to you?" She noticed Craig pass by. "Craig, have you seen that ultra-cute Starchild?"
"I don't know and I don't care where my simple-minded brother is. Why don't you go back to the mall you crawled out from, you cheap Valley Girl imitation! And take your stupid lizard with you." Craig snapped angrily. His eye flashed, frightening Lockheed.
"You're a real jerk, Craig!" Kitty snapped, cuddling Lockheed. "You're a miserable, loudmouthed, heartless ingrate! Just because you had a bad life doesn't mean you have to make everyone else miserable! Why can't you be more like your brother?" Craig snorted.
"Be a mindless, naïve moron like him? I don't think so." Craig crossed his arms.
"Paul isn't mindless! Nor is he naïve! He's your brother! He finds a bright side in everything!" Kitty defended.
"Life has no bright side. It's only darkness. Think about it." Darkstar walked away.

Paul and Lance were sitting at a wall of the Mansion, just looking up at the sky.
"That's a guitar." Paul pointed at a cloud.
"And I think that one looks like Kitty." Lance said, pointing at another cloud. Paul looked at him with concern.
"You okay?" Paul asked. "Half the clouds you pointed to you said looked like Kitty."
"Yeah." Lance shrugged. Paul decided to let it go.
"That one's Johnny Carson." Paul grinned. Lance looked at the cloud in amazement.
"Well, ain't that wild?" Lance smiled. "Heh. I gotta go. I'm taking Kitty for a soda." Paul did his rose trick.
"Give her this. Chicks dig roses." Paul told Lance.
"Thanks, Starchild." Lance took the rose and walked away. Starchild decided to take a walk. Rogue caught up to him.
"Hi, sugah." Rogue grinned seductively. "How're you doing?" Paul smiled.
"Hey, Rogue." Starchild asked. "How's things with you and Gambit?"
"We're kinda...taking a break." Rogue wanted to nuzzle Paul, but she couldn't for obvious reasons. "How're things with you, sugah?" She stroked Starchild's hair. "Can we walk together?"
"Okay." Paul shrugged. Rogue grabbed his arm happily and they started walking. What neither of them noticed was that Gambit was sitting on the branches of a tree they were about to pass. He held a net.
"Remy can't believe he actually convinced Forge to build dis t'ing." Gambit thought to himself. "Gambit gonna give Starchild de biggest shock of his life. Oh God, my jokes are getting bad." Remy watched the two walk past. "Alright!" He thought as he pitched the net. But his eyes widened. "Uh oh."
"Aggh!!" The net landed on top of Rogue. "Get this thing off me!!"
"I got it!" Paul was about to pull the net off, when an electric shock went through the net.
"AAAAHHHH!!!" Rogue screamed. When the shock ended, she was slightly singed, but she wasn't hurt, thanks to her invulnerability.
"What in the world?" Paul pulled the net off an angry Rogue.
"Ah am gonna kill whoever threw this thing!" Rogue pointed at the net.
"Remy better get outta here." Remy got up, but the branch broke. "Oh no. AHHH!!!" Remy fell and landed near the two.
"Hi Remy." Paul smiled. "We're looking for the person who threw this net." Paul held it up.
"Uh oh." Gambit started running.
"Ah should've known!" Rogue growled. She turned to Paul. "He's just jealous, sugah." The southerner said sweetly. She started chasing Gambit, screaming angrily and fists in the air. A confused Paul just scratched his head.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on around here?" Paul asked himself. "Oh shoot! I gotta meet Jamie! I promised!" He saw Tabitha pass by. She looked starstruck when she saw him. "Ooh boy."
"Here he is!" Tabby screamed excitedly.
"Uh oh!" Paul dropped the net and ran off, Jean, Tabby, and Amara after him, squealing like schoolgirls at an N*Sync concert.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Well, where is he!" Jamie paced in his room. Starchild entered, amidst squeals from Amara, Jean and Tabby.
"Sorry I'm late, dude." Paul grinned. "Had to chase off the girls. It can be a pain at times."
"What's the first lesson?" Multiple jumped up and down excitedly.
"Calm down, my friend." Starchild laughed. "First, I gotta bait the girls to get out of the way. Watch." Paul then turned to the door and mimicked Scott: "Jean, why are you pounding on the door?"
"It's Scott!" Jean whispered to the girls. "We're looking for Paul."
"I wanna give him a great big kiss!" Tabby sighed.
"Paul ain't here." Paul said as Cyclops.
"Well, where is he? And why are you in Jamie's room?" Amara asked.
"Haven't seen him anywhere. And Jamie asked me to guard something for him in here until he comes back." Paul replied.
"Okay." Jean shrugged. "C'mon! He's probably the kitchen!" The girls ran off, giggling. Paul wiped some sweat off his brow.
"Phew. That was close."
"Wow." Jamie's jaw dropped. "How'd you do that?"
"Talent of mine." Paul smirked. He then mimicked Jamie: "Having a good ear helps."
"Don't ever do that again." Jamie glared.
"Okay, okay. Turn off the temper." Paul jokingly calmed down the youngest X- Man. The Rock 'n' Roll Misfit opened the door and looked around. "Okay, let's go."
"Where?" Jamie followed.
"You need clothes. Clothes make the man." Paul answered. "C'mon." The two mutants snuck out of the mansion and saw Logan polish his motorcycle. "Cool! Is that a Harley?"
"Yeah." Logan smirked. "Where are you two nuts going?"
"I'm going to help Jamie get some girls." Paul explained. Logan burst out laughing.
"Kid, you got a talent with the girls..." Logan stood up. "But not even you can help him."
"Ha ha very funny." Jamie grumbled.
"We'll see, Wolfman. We'll see." Paul grinned. "Can I borrow the X-Van?"
"No." Logan said flatly.
"Well then..." Paul pulled a letter out of his pocket. "I guess you don't want this letter Jinx asked me to give you." Wolverine's eyes widened.
"Gimme!" Logan reached for it, but Paul pulled it back.
"No van, no letter." Paul grinned. Wolverine thought it over.
"Which one of you is driving?"
"I am. I got a license." Paul shrugged.
"Okay. Now gimme!" Starchild handed Logan the letter.
"Let's roll, Jamie!" Paul waved. The two kids jumped in the X-Van.
"Do you have a license?" Jamie asked.
"A license to rock." Paul smiled. He adjusted the radio and Kiss's "Christine Sixteen" came on. He drove the X-Van to town, Paul singing along. As they went down the driveway, they eyed Shipwreck running away. An angry Storm was after him, pitching ball lightning.
"If he ain't careful, she'll put a Level 5 hurricane and a couple blizzards on top of him!" Paul laughed.
"That's an example of womanizing gone wrong, right?" Jamie asked.
"No, that can happen if you don't do it right." Paul grinned. "Luckily for you, he ain't showin' you how to get girls."
"Thank God." Jamie said.

"Ugh." Scott groaned. "What a bad day. Two new Misfits. Paul stole my girl, and Craig beat the snot out of me. What did I do to deserve this?" He then noticed Wanda and Pietro fighting. "Oh god. I don't wanna know."
"GIMME MY CAT, PIETRO!!!" Wanda screamed. Pietro was holding a black stuffed cat.
"NEVER!!! IT'S MINE!!! MINE, I TELL YOU!!! WAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" Pietro laughed. He ran off, waving Wanda's favorite toy and friend, Mr. Stupid, in the air.
"IF YOU DON'T PUT DOWN MR. STUPID THIS INSTANT, I WILL SMACK YOU SENSELESS!!!" Wanda pursued her crazy twin.
"Ugh. Man, I hate the Misfits." Scott grumbled. "I really hate the Misfits."
"Hey Scotty!" Bobby and Kurt ran up to the X-Men's leader. "Guess what? Starchild's gonna teach Jamie how to get girls." Scott burst out laughing.
"Even that good-for-nothing Paul Stanley Starr can't help Multiple get girls."
"I dunno." Kurt thought out loud. "Paul said he had potential."
"REMY GET BACK HERE!!!" Rogue screamed. Gambit pushed past in a panic.
"Sorry! Excuse Gambit! HEEEELLLLLP!!!!!" Remy said as he pushed past, Rogue not far behind him. "SHE GONNA KILL ME!!!!!"
"You thought the shock net was funny? Ah'll show you funny!" Rogue snapped as she pushed past, nearly sending Nightcrawler into a wall. "Let's see how funny it is when your Cajun spine is crammed into your skull!"
"Vhat in the world?" Kurt scratched his head.
"Storm, I was only kidding!" Shipwreck passed by. Storm was after him, with a chainsaw.
"Times like this, I wish I was old enough to drink." Scott sighed.

Paul Starr and Jamie Madrox, the two mutants known as Starchild and Multiple, drove into Bayville. The only vehicle Paul had a clue on how to drive was a motorcycle, so the X-Van was driven wildly.
"Whoo!" Paul screamed.
"It could be worse. Kitty could be driving." Jamie groaned, face turning green. "At least Paul has a clue how to steer." He added in his mind.
"We're heee-re!" Paul announced in the voice of the girl from Poltergeist, stopping at a parking lot. Jamie quickly jumped out of the van and puked in a bush. A smiling Starchild stepped out. "This is Bayville, huh?" He looked around. "It's no LA, but I can change that."
"What're we gonna do here?" Jamie asked.
"Grasshopper, we're going to get you some new clothes. You're gonna need a new look to get the ladies." Paul responded.
"How'll we pay for 'em?" Jamie asked.
"I got it covered." Paul grinned. "Don't worry about it. Just follow me." Paul and Jamie walked into the city. "While we're at it, how's the nightlife?"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A couple hours later, Craig and Pietro, the Misfits known as Darkstar and Quicksilver, were searching around the mansion for Paul.
"Paul? Paul?!?! PAUL!!!" Craig snapped angrily. "Where is that stupid brother of mine?"
"Have you tried contacting him telepathically?" Pietro asked.
"My link doesn't have an infinite range, Quicksilver!" Craig snapped. "I haven't been able to reach him."
"I'll ask around." Pietro ran off. Wanda found Craig, and she was not happy.
"Pietro took my Mr. Stupid." Wanda said. "You seen him?"
"Why'd you bring that dumb thing?" Craig asked incredulously.
"Moral support." She shrugged. "Where's my brother?"
"You know, I noticed he had something of yours on him." Craig took out Mr. Stupid. "I planned to swipe his wallet, but he didn't bring it." Wanda lit up when she saw it.
"Mr. Stupid!" She took the cat and hugged it. "I missed you." She looked up at Craig. "Thanks, Darkstar." Craig looked away, blushing.
"I just wanted his money." Craig tried to deny it. Wanda kissed his cheek, making him turn red.
"See?" Wanda smiled. "You're not such a big, bad, mean street punk after all." She walked away, Mr. Stupid cuddled in her arm, leaving a red-faced Craig.
"Why me?" Craig moaned in his head. "Why me?"
"Hey!" Amara ran up. "Look at this! Quick!" The two Misfits followed Magma to the common room. They found the X-Men, minus Jamie, and the other Misfits, minus Paul, watching the news.
"In Bayville, the town turned into one huge party." The newscaster said. "When asked why the party was going on, a shop worker said: 'We just felt like partying! Plus, this kid with a purple star over his eye said we should enjoy our lives a have fun on occasion!'" The picture then changed to a view of the town. People were dancing in the streets, confetti was being thrown, and some people yelled things into the camera.
"Hawks Rule!"
"Hi Mom!"
"This is Cancun all over again, man! WHOO!" The X-Men, Joes, and Misfits looked on in awe.
"Since when did Bayville become Party Central?!?!" Lance asked in shock. Craig heard a van screech to a stop.
"Three guesses how." Craig grumbled. Paul and Jamie walked into the Mansion, all smiles.
"Man, I love Bayville!" Paul grinned. "Check out the shirt." He held up a shirt that said, "I survived Bayville and all I got was this lousy T- shirt!"
"Cool shirt, ain't it?" Jamie grinned. The others noticed Jamie had some new clothes. He wore red jeans, an AC/DC t-shirt, and several bracelets on each wrist, a couple of them were studded. His brown hair was wild. He wore a pair of crazy black sunglasses with red-and-white striped lenses. He had a blue leather jacket with green-and-black tiger-print sleeves, and purple fringe at the shoulders. "Nice, huh?"
"Who are you, and where's Jamie?" Jean pointed at the new, improved Multiple.
"Let's just say, I've made some modifications, babe." Jamie winked. Jean sighed in disbelief. On the news, they heard a bunch of girls around Multiple's age screaming about Jamie and how much they loved him. Logan's jaw dropped.
"What is this kid?" He pointed at Paul with his thumb. "A miracle worker?!?!"
"They chased him all over Bayville." Paul wiped away a fake tear. "I'm so proud of him."
"I can't believe it." Xavier sighed. "I just can't believe it."
"That's our Paul!" Shipwreck laughed.
Party in Bayville!!! WHOOO!!! What'll happen next? Can Shipwreck win Storm, or will he just get fried again. Most likely fried. Can Multiple and Starchild save Bayville from being boring? Looks like they're on their way. What nuttiness will occur next? Find out in the next chapter!

"Mr. McCoy!!" Paul called as he ran back to the X-Mansion. "YO!! BEAST!!!" He saw lighting fly out of a window and Shipwreck yelling.
"YEEEEEEEOOOOWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!" Paul heard the noise, sighing.
"Will he ever learn?" Paul thought. He then started calling again. "BEEEEEEAST!!!!" Hank ran out.
"What is it?"
"Berzerker, the lightning dude." Paul pointed back the way he came. "He was playing with something and it hit him and Tabby blew him up. She's mad at him for something."
"Hoo boy." Beast mumbled. "Show me where, Starchild."

Craig Allman Starr walked around the Mansion, checking out the place.
"Maybe there's some valuables I can swipe." Smirking, he pulled Scott's wallet out of his jacket and looked it over. He counted the money inside. "Can't get a whole lot for twenty bucks these days." He then noticed something extremely unusual. "What the?" A small purple dragon waddled by. It had a blue collar with a golden tag on it. The tag said, "Hi! My name is Lockheed. If I am lost, please return me to Katherine Pryde." Craig scowled at the small lizard-like creature, as it looked up at him. It roared a greeting.
"Rowr!" Lockheed roared. Craig's eye glowed.
"What do you want! Go away! Go pester Shadowcat! She's your master, not me!" Craig snapped. The little dragon pointed at its open mouth. "What?"
"Ah! Ah!" Lockheed pointed at its mouth. Craig's eye stopped glowing.
"You're hungry, huh?" Craig asked. Lockheed nodded. "Ok...Try a little dish I whipped up." Craig's right eye glowed again. "Try my laser flambé!" Craig fired his eye laser. The dragon dodged and flew away in fright. Craig sent a couple more shots at Lockheed. He then put the wallet back in his jacket and continued on his way. "Heh Heh Heh." Craig quietly snickered to himself. "I hate this place. I really hate this place." Lockheed flew back to his mother. Kitty happened to be looking for Paul.
"Like, I could've sworn he was here." Kitty checked the bushes and scratched her head. Lockheed flew into her arms, crying. "Like, Lockheed! My poor baby. What happened to you?" She noticed Craig pass by. "Craig, have you seen that ultra-cute Starchild?"
"I don't know and I don't care where my simple-minded brother is. Why don't you go back to the mall you crawled out from, you cheap Valley Girl imitation! And take your stupid lizard with you." Craig snapped angrily. His eye flashed, frightening Lockheed.
"You're a real jerk, Craig!" Kitty snapped, cuddling Lockheed. "You're a miserable, loudmouthed, heartless ingrate! Just because you had a bad life doesn't mean you have to make everyone else miserable! Why can't you be more like your brother?" Craig snorted.

"My link doesn't have an infinite range, Quicksilver!" Craig snapped. "I haven't been able to reach him."
"I'll ask around." Pietro ran off. Wanda found Craig, and she was not happy.
"Pietro took my Mr. Stupid." Wanda said. "You seen him?"
"Why'd you bring that dumb thing?" Craig asked incredulously.
"Moral support." She shrugged. "Where's my brother?"
"You know, I noticed he had something of yours on him." Craig took out Mr. Stupid. "I planned to swipe his wallet, but he didn't bring it." Wanda lit up when she saw it.
"Mr. Stupid!" She took the cat and hugged it. "I missed you." She looked up at Craig. "Thanks, Darkstar." Craig looked away, blushing.
"I just wanted his money." Craig tried to deny it. Wanda kissed his cheek, making him turn red.
"See?" Wanda smiled. "You're not such a big, bad, mean street punk after all." She walked away, Mr. Stupid cuddled in her arm, leaving a red-faced Craig.
"Why me?" Craig moaned in his head. "Why me?"
"Hey!" Amara ran up. "Look at this! Quick!" The two Misfits followed Magma to the common room. They found the X-Men, minus Jamie, and the other Misfits, minus Paul, watching the news.
"In Bayville, the town turned into one huge party." The newscaster said. "When asked why the party was going on, a shop worker said: 'We just felt like partying! Plus, this kid with a purple star over his eye said we should enjoy our lives a have fun on occasion!'" The picture then changed to a view of the town. People were dancing in the streets, confetti was being thrown, and some people yelled things into the camera.
"Hawks Rule!"
"Hi Mom!"
"This is Cancun all over again, man! WHOO!" The X-Men, Joes, and Misfits looked on in awe.
"Since when did Bayville become Party Central?!?!" Lance asked in shock. Craig heard a van screech to a stop.
"Three guesses how." Craig grumbled. Paul and Jamie walked into the Mansion, all smiles.
"Man, I love Bayville!" Paul grinned. "Check out the shirt." He held up a shirt that said, "I survived Bayville and all I got was this lousy T- shirt!"
"Cool shirt, ain't it?" Jamie grinned. The others noticed Jamie had some new clothes. He wore red jeans, an AC/DC t-shirt, and several bracelets on each wrist, a couple of them were studded. His brown hair was wild. He wore a pair of crazy black sunglasses with red-and-white striped lenses. He had a blue leather jacket with green-and-black tiger-print sleeves, and purple fringe at the shoulders. "Nice, huh?"
"Who are you, and where's Jamie?" Jean pointed at the new, improved Multiple.
"Let's just say, I've made some modifications, babe." Jamie winked. Jean sighed in disbelief. On the news, they heard a bunch of girls around Multiple's age screaming about Jamie and how much they loved him. Logan's jaw dropped.
"What is this kid?" He pointed at Paul with his thumb. "A miracle worker?!?!"
"They chased him all over Bayville." Paul wiped away a fake tear. "I'm so proud of him."
"I can't believe it." Xavier sighed. "I just can't believe it."
"That's our Paul!" Shipwreck laughed.
Party in Bayville!!! WHOOO!!! What'll happen next? Can Shipwreck win Storm, or will he just get fried again. Most likely fried. Can Multiple and Starchild save Bayville from being boring? Looks like they're on their way. What nuttiness will occur next? Find out in the next chapter!
