"What was up with Gambit?" Paul wondered. He and Kurt were sitting across from each other at a picnic table in the park. Nightcrawler had some blank paper and he held a pen.
"He probably is in a bad mood or something." Kurt stared at the paper. "Help me out, dude!"
"Okay, okay, okay." Paul impersonated Joe Pesci. Starchild began to think. "Well, you know this babe better than I do. What comes to your mind when you think about her?"
"Bliss..." Kurt sighed happily, staring into space.
"Okay. That's a start." Paul said. "That's a start."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"What are we doing with all this stuff?" Craig groaned. The other Misfits stood in a junkyard, with almost all the stuff they had on Pietro's list. Darkstar had no idea what the plan was.
"I don't really know." Althea shrugged.
"What?!?!" Darkstar snapped. "You look all over Bayville for this stuff and you have no idea what you plan to do with it?!?!"
"Guess not." Lance said.
"Don't look at me." Todd held up the moose head. "I wanted to take this back with me."
"I wondered why it was on the list." Quicksilver checked it again.
"Why don't we just grab an object and cause random mayhem?" Xi picked up the toilet paper.
"Why don't we blow something up?" Pietro suggested.
"Naw, we should mess up Kelly's place." Wanda grinned. "I heard he got in the slammer for public drunkenness and malicious disruption of peace."
"Wha--?" Fred wondered. "Uh, was that English?"
"It means Kelly got super-plastered and made way too much noise, Blubber- Butt." Pietro sighed.
"HEY!!" Blob snapped.
"You know Althea, trashing Kelly's place ain't such a bad idea." Lance shrugged.
"Me too." Todd said.
"Won't we get in trouble?" Xi looked worried. "It's his house."
"Houses can be replaced, Xi. Lives cannot." Fred said.
"Good point. I'm in." The snake-like mutant took the saw.
"Why not?" Wanda shrugged. "He has some nice dishes. We can steal 'em and use 'em for target practice."
"I heard that he has a stash of booze money in his house." Craig said. "I could use that cash." Craig sighed and looked down. "Maybe I can get Wanda a ring or somethin'." Darkstar hoped in his mind.
"No matter how many times we do it, it never stops being fun." Lance grinned.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"This could be a problem." Paul thought. "Her parents hate your guts?"
"Ja, because they don't vant their daughter dating a mutant. She don't care." Kurt replied.
"Hey wait, I can deliver it!" Paul grinned. Kurt's eyes widened.
"No way! Noooooo way!" Kurt said. "I'm not taking ze chance that Amanda will get a crush on you."
"Relax. I have a plan." Paul said. He pulled out of his pocket a small mirror and a vial of makeup. It was special make-up, made by Cover Girl to match Paul's skin. Starchild used it at times to cover up his birthmark. Craig refused to wear the paint.
"Vhat are you doing?" Kurt said.
"Getting ready for a role." Paul responded, putting the makeup over his birthmark, making his face look completely normal. Starchild made sure it looked good. "Now we hit the costume shop." Kurt and Paul went to the store, and Paul purchased a uniform, like the ones telegram delivery boys wore. "Let's go." Paul changed into the costume. "Okay, where's her house?" Kurt teleported threw with Paul. "Give me the stuff." Nightcrawler gave Starchild the flowers, candy, and letter Kurt wrote with Paul's help. "Watch an actor do his thing." Paul walked up to the door and rang the bell. Kurt hid in the bushes. Margali opened the door.
"Oh, how cute. A telegram boy."
"Flowers and candy for a Miss Amanda Sefton." Paul held out the flowers, candy, and letter. His voice took on a more nasal tone.
"Huh?" Margali scratched her head. Amanda peeked in.
"Is that stuff for me?" She took the stuff.
"Yes it is, ma'am. Got it at the office. No idea who sent it. All it came with was instructions to give it to a Miss Amanda Sefton. Well, I must go. Have a good day." Paul tipped his hat and walked away.
"Thank you!" Margali called out to Paul. She then turned to her daughter. "Looks like you have a secret admirer, Amanda." Margali said as she closed the door. Kurt peeked up and high-fived Paul. They teleported away.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"How did you hire a U-Haul, Blob?" Lance asked in disbelief. The Misfits were in Lance's jeep, going to Senator Kelly's place. The jeep towed a U- Haul behind it, with all their stuff behind it. "You can barely press the keys on the phone."
"I have my methods." Blob grinned.
"You said that when you got Todd that Sniffy giraffe." Althea said. "He told me."
"Drivin' in the Misfitmobile..." Pietro sang. "Ridin' with my buddies/Goin' down the freeway/Doin' crazy stuff..."
"Pietro, if you don't stop singing, I will beat your brains out, put your head under the wheel, back up, and run it over! YOU GOT ME!!" Lance snapped.
"You are no fun."
"Finally, he shuts up." Wanda groaned. "He's been singing the whole trip."
"His singing voice desperately needs improvement." Xi sighed.
"You guys are just jealous." Pietro smirked.
"Of what?" Blob asked. "Hey, we're here."
"Baby, welcome to your first house-destroying." Todd helped Althea out of the truck.
"Y'know? I like you guys more and more every day." Althea said.
"Ok, first we hit his living room..." Lance planned.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"I hope it vorked, Paul." Kurt started shaking with nervousness. Paul had gotten back into his normal clothes and wiped off the make-up he wore over his birthmark.
"Relax, Blueman." Paul patted Kurt's back. "Amanda will get the letter. I had her mother completely fooled."
"Maybe I should've gotten into ze red suit." Kurt wondered.
"Nah. Wouldn't work." Paul said. "Amanda would've recognized you. Same with her mom."
"Good point." Kurt admitted. They passed by a building. On top of it were Scott and Peter, supporting a big ball of metal and rubber junk that Colossus pounded together and Cyclops welded. They got the junk from a junkyard.
"Okay. Lift it." Scott ordered.
"Uhnnh!!" Peter grunted, lifting the big metal ball.
"Wait..." Scott noticed Paul walk into position. Kurt was a little way off. "Wait..." Paul got closer. "Wait..."
"Can you hurry? This thing is heavy, comrade!"
"Wait..." Scott said. Paul got into position. "Now!" Peter pitched the ball. Neither Kurt nor Paul noticed it coming down.
"Hey Kurt, I got an idea. Let's go to the ice-cream shop. We can plan out a date there." Paul suggested.
"Not a bad idea." Kurt agreed. They teleported off. The ball landed and bounced back into the air. Scott couldn't believe it.
"How much luck can one guy have?!?!" Scott screamed in disbelief. Peter looked up.
"Uh, Cyclops..."
"What does he have, some kind of ability to sense danger or something?!?!" Scott stamped the ground in frustration.
"Cyclops..."
"I hate Paul! I hate Paul! I hate Paul! I hate him, I hate him, I HATE HIM!!!!!" Scott started jumping up and down, throwing a tantrum. He looked remarkably like Pietro.
"CYCLOPS!!!!"
"WHAT!!!!" Scott snapped loudly. Peter pointed upwards. When Scott looked up, he saw the ball come down, and it looked like it was going to land on top of them. "Mommy." He squeaked. The ball landed on top of the two jealous boys with a "SPLAT!!" and a "CRUNCH!!!"
"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Whoo!" Todd leapt up with a fist in the air. "I never get bored of trashing Kelly's house. Next time we should bring the babies." Kelly's house and yard was a wreck. The walls were bashed and spray-painted with graffiti, the windows were busted, the rooms were trashed, and the stairs looked like someone was slammed through them.
"And Daria would love to experiment on the jerk." Althea noted.
"It definitely was not quite like the old days." Blob grinned. "I never thought I would catch Toad making out with a girl in Kelly's bedroom." Todd glared as the others laughed.
"Laugh it up, fellas." Todd groaned. "Just laugh it up. At least I have a lovelife." He glared at Pietro and Blob. "And I have a girl who isn't stringing me along like a cheap fiddle." He glared at Lance, who stopped laughing.
"Hey!" He snapped.
"Let's just get out of here before the cops show up." Craig grumbled. The others nodded and teleported away.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"I'm a joker/I'm a smoker..." Kelly slurred. "I'm a midniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight BURRRRRRRRRRP!!!!"
"God, will you shut up?!?!" Duncan snapped at Kelly. "I'm having it bad enough as it is."
"You think I had it eashy?" Kelly snapped. "All the time, 'Duncan this! Duncan that!' All the time! Duncan, put yer clothes back on! Duncan, quit sitting on the kid! Duncan, get off the mascot! Duncan, that's my daughter! Duncan, do that in the bathroom! Duncan, get out of my house! Duncan, you can't do that in school!!!" Kelly growled.
"I'm sick of your ranting and raving about pink elephants and all that stuff!" Duncan stood up angrily.
"You're working for them! TRAITOR!!!" Kelly leapt off the bed and tackled Duncan. The senator and the football player started brawling.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Yeah. I hear ya." Remy said into a walkie-talkie. He was trying his best not to snicker. Scott was talking to him. He turned to Ray, who was next to an old-style cannon. "Cyclops screwed up."
"No surprise. This is gonna be great!" Ray laughed. "Paul's gonna go KABLOOIE!!! WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!" Gambit rolled his eyes.
"Gambit worry about you."
"Shut up and help me." Ray ordered. The two jealous mutants pushed the cannon to an alley just across the ice-cream shop. Kurt and Paul left, plan all set. "Now!" Gambit pulled the string that fired the cannon, but he pulled a little too hard, and the cannon flipped over, aiming at them. KABOOMMMM!!!!! "OWWWWWWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!"
"Remy t'inks we need de back up plan."
"Oh shut up." A smoking Ray snapped.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"What are you gonna do?" Kurt asked Paul.
"Find my buds." Paul grinned. "By the way, did we ever see a certain bald wheelchair dude?"
"Mein Gott!" Kurt smacked his forehead with his palm. "Ve completely forgot!"
"Well if we forgot, then that most likely means everybody else had forgotten." Paul realized.
"Vhat'll ve do if someone asks?" Kurt got worried.
"Relax. We'll just tell 'em that we didn't see him." Paul replied coolly. Storm happened to be walking up to the two boys.
"Have either of you seen the professor?" Ororo asked.
"Nope. Sorry." Paul shook his head. "If we do, we'll let you know." He looked behind the weather goddess. "No Shipwreck chasing after you? Something not quite right about that."
"His daughter is dealing with him." Storm responded.
"Cool! Have you seen the other Misfits? I was just helping Kurt repair some relationship problems and I was hoping to find the others." Paul inquired.
"PAUL!!!!" Kurt snapped.
"Last I saw, they were running by a tavern." The weather goddess remembered.
"Stellar!" Paul grinned. "Thanks! Gotta go!" Paul teleported away with his watch, leaving a confused Kurt and Storm.
"Vhat is that nutty superstar up to?" Kurt wondered.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Hey guys!" Paul reunited with the other Misfits.
"Where have you been?" Craig growled.
"Helping Kurt out." Paul grinned. "I got a fantastic idea. Follow me." Paul ran to where the citizens of Bayville were partying.
"Should we do this? If an idea forms in Paul's brain, it's gonna be a crazy one." Craig groaned.
"Why not?" Wanda shrugged.
"Yeah. Follow that Starchild!" Althea agreed. The other Misfits followed Paul. The superstar ran to the center of the party.
"LISTEN UP EVERYONE!!!" Paul called out. The citizens stopped and turned to Paul. "Tomorrow night, at the Bayville High School Auditorium, we are gonna hold a dance marathon!"
"Dance marathon?" Pietro laughed. "This'll be a hoot."
"All of Bayville is invited! It goes on all night! The longest-lasting dancers get a real special prize!"
"Can't give money, Paul. You don't have any, you know." Lance whispered to Paul.
"Relax, the prize is a DVD of their choice!" The people stood silently for a moment, then a roar of cheers rose through the crowd.
"YYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" In the crowd, the hurt X-Boys looked on.
"So..." Scott grinned evilly. "There's a dance marathon, huh? Boys, I have a new plan. We are going to humiliate Paul so badly, none the girls will ever want to be with him. He'll never want to show his woman-stealing face in Bayville ever again."
"So long, Paul." Ray grinned.
"Bon voyage, mon ami." Remy agreed.
"Dos vendanya, Paul Starr." Peter laughed.
"Oh yes, gentlemen. Paul Starr has made us look like morons for too long. It's time we got ours back." Scott looked like a madman. "It's time, indeed."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Storm, Beast, and Wolverine returned to the mansion. They had given up after trying to find the professor.
"Where could those football players have taken Charles?" Beast scratched his head. Wolverine entered the mansion.
"I have no idea, Hank." Storm sighed. "I have no idea."
"DEAR GOD, MAN!!!!!!" Logan's voice ran through the mansion. Storm and Hank ran in. Their eyes widened at the sight. Furniture and walls were full of scratches and holes, like they were sliced by claws and pecked by beaks. There were many broken objects, and various foods and liquids were smeared all over the place. "WHO DID ALL THIS?!?!?!"
"Three guesses." Strom growled, pointing at the couch. Claudius and Barney were asleep on the couch, curled up together. Beast noticed a coffee cup near them.
"Those babies must've gotten their paws on some coffee." Hank deduced, picking up the coffee cup. "The caffeine must've hyped them up." Logan and Ororo looked around, and they found the professor. Xavier was asleep sideways on the table, covered in silly string.
"What happened in here?" Storm wondered.
"And you say we make a mess." The three elder mutants turned around and saw Pietro standing at the door. "At least we try to be more...neat."
Man, the mansion's a mess! And the X-Boys are plotting to ruin Paul's social life in Bayville! What's gonna happen next? Will the X-Men force the Misfits to clean up the mansion? Will the X-Boys' plan work? Will Ororo beat up Shipwreck? Find out on the next chapter of X-Men, meet the Starr Brothers!

"What was up with Gambit?" Paul wondered. He and Kurt were sitting across from each other at a picnic table in the park. Nightcrawler had some blank paper and he held a pen.
"He probably is in a bad mood or something." Kurt stared at the paper. "Help me out, dude!"
"Okay, okay, okay." Paul impersonated Joe Pesci. Starchild began to think. "Well, you know this babe better than I do. What comes to your mind when you think about her?"
"Bliss..." Kurt sighed happily, staring into space.
"Okay. That's a start." Paul said. "That's a start."

"I don't really know." Althea shrugged.
"What?!?!" Darkstar snapped. "You look all over Bayville for this stuff and you have no idea what you plan to do with it?!?!"
"Guess not." Lance said.
"Don't look at me." Todd held up the moose head. "I wanted to take this back with me."
"I wondered why it was on the list." Quicksilver checked it again.
"Why don't we just grab an object and cause random mayhem?" Xi picked up the toilet paper.
"Why don't we blow something up?" Pietro suggested.
"Naw, we should mess up Kelly's place." Wanda grinned. "I heard he got in the slammer for public drunkenness and malicious disruption of peace."
"Wha--?" Fred wondered. "Uh, was that English?"
"It means Kelly got super-plastered and made way too much noise, Blubber- Butt." Pietro sighed.
"HEY!!" Blob snapped.
"You know Althea, trashing Kelly's place ain't such a bad idea." Lance shrugged.
"Me too." Todd said.
"Won't we get in trouble?" Xi looked worried. "It's his house."
"Houses can be replaced, Xi. Lives cannot." Fred said.
"Good point. I'm in." The snake-like mutant took the saw.
"Why not?" Wanda shrugged. "He has some nice dishes. We can steal 'em and use 'em for target practice."
"I heard that he has a stash of booze money in his house." Craig said. "I could use that cash." Craig sighed and looked down. "Maybe I can get Wanda a ring or somethin'." Darkstar hoped in his mind.
"No matter how many times we do it, it never stops being fun." Lance grinned.

"Finally, he shuts up." Wanda groaned. "He's been singing the whole trip."
"His singing voice desperately needs improvement." Xi sighed.
"You guys are just jealous." Pietro smirked.
"Of what?" Blob asked. "Hey, we're here."
"Baby, welcome to your first house-destroying." Todd helped Althea out of the truck.

"Whoo!" Todd leapt up with a fist in the air. "I never get bored of trashing Kelly's house. Next time we should bring the babies." Kelly's house and yard was a wreck.

"I'm a joker/I'm a smoker..." Kelly slurred. "I'm a midniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight BURRRRRRRRRRP!!!!"
"God, will you shut up?!?!" Duncan snapped at Kelly. "I'm having it bad enough as it is."
"You think I had it eashy?" Kelly snapped. "All the time, 'Duncan this! Duncan that!' All the time! Duncan, put yer clothes back on! Duncan, quit sitting on the kid! Duncan, get off the mascot!

"Yeah. I hear ya." Remy said into a walkie-talkie. He was trying his best not to snicker. Scott was talking to him. He turned to Ray, who was next to an old-style cannon. "Cyclops screwed up."
"No surprise. This is gonna be great!" Ray laughed. "Paul's gonna go KABLOOIE!!! WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!" Gambit rolled his eyes.
"Gambit worry about you."
"Shut up and help me." Ray ordered. The two jealous mutants pushed the cannon to an alley just across the ice-cream shop. Kurt and Paul left, plan all set. "Now!"

"Hey guys!" Paul reunited with the other Misfits.
"Where have you been?" Craig growled.
"Helping Kurt out." Paul grinned. "I got a fantastic idea. Follow me." Paul ran to where the citizens of Bayville were partying.
"Should we do this? If an idea forms in Paul's brain, it's gonna be a crazy one." Craig groaned.
"Why not?" Wanda shrugged.
"Yeah. Follow that Starchild!" Althea agreed. The other Misfits followed Paul. The superstar ran to the center of the party.
"LISTEN UP EVERYONE!!!" Paul called out. The citizens stopped and turned to Paul. "Tomorrow night, at the Bayville High School Auditorium, we are gonna hold a dance marathon!"
"Dance marathon?" Pietro laughed. "This'll be a hoot."
"All of Bayville is invited! It goes on all night! The longest-lasting dancers get a real special prize!"
"Can't give money, Paul. You don't have any, you know." Lance whispered to Paul.
"Relax, the prize is a DVD of their choice!" The people stood silently for a moment, then a roar of cheers rose through the crowd.
"YYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" In the crowd, the hurt X-Boys looked on.
"So..." Scott grinned evilly. "There's a dance marathon, huh? Boys, I have a new plan. We are going to humiliate Paul so badly, none the girls will ever want to be with him. He'll never want to show his woman-stealing face in Bayville ever again."
"So long, Paul." Ray grinned.
"Bon voyage, mon ami." Remy agreed.
"Dos vendanya, Paul Starr." Peter laughed.
"Oh yes, gentlemen. Paul Starr has made us look like morons for too long. It's time we got ours back." Scott looked like a madman. "It's time, indeed."

Storm, Beast, and Wolverine returned to the mansion. They had given up after trying to find the professor.
"Where could those football players have taken Charles?" Beast scratched his head. Wolverine entered the mansion.
"I have no idea, Hank." Storm sighed. "I have no idea."
"DEAR GOD, MAN!!!!!!" Logan's voice ran through the mansion. Storm and Hank ran in. Their eyes widened at the sight. Furniture and walls were full of scratches and holes, like they were sliced by claws and pecked by beaks. There were many broken objects, and various foods and liquids were smeared all over the place. "WHO DID ALL THIS?!?!?!"
"Three guesses." Strom growled, pointing at the couch. Claudius and Barney were asleep on the couch, curled up together. Beast noticed a coffee cup near them.
"Those babies must've gotten their paws on some coffee." Hank deduced, picking up the coffee cup. "The caffeine must've hyped them up." Logan and Ororo looked around, and they found the professor. Xavier was asleep sideways on the table, covered in silly string.
"What happened in here?" Storm wondered.
"And you say we make a mess." The three elder mutants turned around and saw Pietro standing at the door. "At least we try to be more...neat."
Man, the mansion's a mess! And the X-Boys are plotting to ruin Paul's social life in Bayville! What's gonna happen next? Will the X-Men force the Misfits to clean up the mansion? Will the X-Boys' plan work? Will Ororo beat up Shipwreck? Find out on the next chapter of X-Men, meet the Starr Brothers!
