Ororo, Logan, Roadblock, Cover Girl, Hawk, Recondo, and Hank forced the Misfits to help clean up the mansion after its near-destruction by the babies. However, four certain X-Boys made it very complicated. Scott, Remy, Ray, and Peter kept trying to take Paul out while he was helping, but as usual, their ideas blew up in their faces. Peter tried making the kitchen floor extremely slippery with soap. He explained he was cleaning the floor, but Kitty and Magma did the slipping, nearly breaking their legs. Colossus ended up fried.

"OWWWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!!!"

Scott tried turning the internal lasers to blast Paul, claiming he was checking them. However, he ended up blasting Jean and Ororo. They weren't exactly pleased.

"OWWWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!!"

Gambit tried to bash Paul with a crowbar. However, he accidentally threw it and smacked Rogue upside the head. At that moment, he wished he was invulnerable too.

"OWWWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!!!"

Ray tried to trap Paul in the Danger Room. However, Tabitha and Cover Girl got trapped. When Paul let them out, He got a peck on the cheek from both of them (A/N: Paul's one lucky guy, ain't he?), making the raven-haired Los Angeles native blush. Ray got a free beatdown, and he got blown up.

"OWWWWWWWWCH!!!!!!!!!"

Add on to that with the usual insanity: Scott, Lance, and Peter were constantly fighting, Shipwreck kept chasing Ororo, even after he took a potted plant to the head. The X-Girls were chasing Paul. Trinity was chasing Jamie. The other Misfits and the other X-Men were fighting and throwing things. Paul was left to play peacemaker. The X-Boys stewed in their jealousy.

"How does he do it?" Ray grumbled. "Every time we try to take out Paul, it blows up in our faces. Does he have powers like Wanda's? Y'know, probability?"

"I think it's more like Longshot's." Remy groaned. "Remy think Paul can create good luck for himself." He saw a laughing Paul run by.

"Come to mama, sugah!!!" Rogue screamed as she chased him. Jean flew by.

"You can run, but you can't hide, my little superstar." She sang out. Scott started banging his head on the wall, and Gambit started smacking himself with his staff. Paul ran by again. This time Kitty, Magma and Tabby were after him.

"I just want a little kiss..." Tabby said.

"Like, come here, cutie pie!" Kitty squealed.

"I need a royal consort, loverboy..." Amara giggled. Peter and Ray started banging their heads on the wall.

"Okay, that plan didn't work." Scott said, remembering earlier.

"No kidding!" Ray snapped. "Maybe we should wait until the dance marathon. We could finally get Paul there."

"Perhaps." Scott noted. "Perhaps."

"De girls are gonna kill us if we try anyt'ing." Remy whined. He then heard screaming and scratching. He looked outside. "De girls are catfighting again." The boys looked outside. There was a huge five-way catfight over Paul, and the object of all their affections was trying to break it up. The X-Boys got very angry.

"Tonight, Starchild is toast." Ray growled.

"He is gone." Peter glared.

"Paul Starr, you gonna die." Remy snarled.

"Paul is a dead man." Scott said. "He is a dead man."

"KITTY!!!!" Craig yelled. He kicked over a potted plant and smashed the wall with his nightstick in rage. "WHERE IS THAT DRAGON?!?!?! IT WILL DIE!!!!" He passed by Wanda.

"What's wrong, Craig?" She asked. Darkstar growled.

"That stupid lizard of hers! Look what it did to my jacket!!!" Craig held up his jacket. It was now a bunch of burned and shredded tatters. "I will KILL that thing when I get my claws on it!!!" The little dragon flew by. "THERE YOU ARE!!!" Lockheed yapped in fright as Craig tried to shoot the baby dragon down with his laser. He ran after it. "COME BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE..." Wanda rolled her eyes.

"I think Craig's in biiiiiig trouble." She smirked to herself.

Paul went down to Bayville High to check out the auditorium and the gym. He knew he could hold his little dance marathon there. He looked like a rockstar going on stage when he entered the building. The girls started swooning, and the boys were not exactly happy to see the charming and charismatic mutant.

"Hide the women! Here comes that Starr kid!" One shouted.

"Woman-Stealer!"

"Glam Rock reject!" Various insults were thrown at Paul, but he seemed to ignore them, cheerfully greeting everyone. The girls started chattering among themselves.

"He's so handsome!"

"He's so retro, it's hip!"

"How does he pull off that 80s look without being trashy?"

"Who is that hottie?"

"Where's he from? Never seen him in town." Paul laughed at the attention. He loved it. He went to look at the gym. On the way, he sang a Kiss song, and the girls loved his voice. He looked over the gym, and he liked it.

"Hey people, there's a dance marathon tonight right here in Bayville High's gym. It goes on all night, and all are invited. Winner gets a DVD of their choice." Paul announced. Cheers rose from the students as Paul left, his mission accomplished. "This town is so stellar!"

The whole mansion went crazy with insanity when lunch was served. A huge food fight broke out. It all started with a remark by Bobby.

"I don't know what's worse: Jean's cooking or Craig's temper?" Bobby grimaced as he tried Jean's new salad creation. Jean threw a stick of butter, and Craig punched Bobby out. The stick landed in Craig's hair, and an enraged Darkstar fired his laser at Jean. It went downhill from there, even though Beast enjoyed it. He was the only one who didn't get covered in food. He started laughing. Storm gave him a "Have-you-gone-nuts" look.

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Beast explained as he pitched a pineapple. Paul entered the mansion and saw the food fight.

"Home sweet home." Paul quipped. He walked by, calmly dodging a couple of Kitty's muffin missiles. He also ducked to avoid a glob of whipped cream. He caught an apple in mid-air, buffed it, and chowed down. "You guys are invited to my dance marathon, too. I'll need some help setting up the gym." Everyone stopped.

"We're not exactly welcome there, honey." Amara told Paul.

"Like, try my muffin, Paul!" Kitty put a muffin in Paul's hand.

"And try my salad, baby." Jean gave Paul some salad. The boys started humming the funeral march. Jean glared, using her telepathy to make them all smack their heads on the table.

"OWWWWWWCH!!!!"

"Go ahead." Jean and Kitty gave Paul a pair of cute faces. Paul shrugged and raised the muffin to his mouth. Scott, Remy, Peter, and Ray looked on with evil grins.

"Maybe we won't have to wait." Scott whispered. "Kitty'll do the job for us." Paul took a bite of the muffin.

"Hmm." He ate the whole thing. "Not bad. Needs salt and chocolate chips." He then tried the salad. "Hey, this ain't half-bad!" Paul smiled. Jean and Kitty smiled. Everyone's jaw dropped.

"WHAT PLANET IS THIS GUY FROM!?!?!?" Scott jumped up. "I don't think he's a mutant at all! I think he's an alien or somethin'!"

"You have to be from another planet to stand their cooking." Peter blinked.

"You guys are just jealous!" Jean snapped. "Obviously Paul here can appreciate good cooking!"

"Yeah!" Kitty agreed. "Like, you really think salt and chocolate chips will help?"

"Trust me, babe." Paul grinned. "It'll help."

"Paul can appreciate your cooking because he's an idiot!" Scott snapped, but he quickly covered his mouth and his eyes widened behind his glasses. "Uh-oh." Jean and Kitty grew very angry. Scott ran off, screaming.

"SCOTT SUMMERS, GET BACK HERE!!!" Jean screamed as she and Kitty gave chase. The others watched with wide-open mouths and then they turned back to Paul.

"What?" Paul asked, eating another muffin of Kitty's.

"Are you even remotely human?" Kurt asked.

"Paul, what was that all about?" Craig asked.

"I dunno." Paul shrugged. "These muffins aren't half-bad. Try one, Craig." Paul put a muffin in Craig's face.

"NO!!!" Craig blasted it with his laser. Something weird happened. The muffin glowed purple.

"Yipe!" Paul put down the muffin on the floor. The others watched as the muffin changed.

"The muffin's molecular structure must be changing in reaction to the energy in Craig's laser!" Beast realized.

"Great, the X-Men's version of BA!" Althea grumbled. The muffin grew crocodile-like jaws, and velociraptor-like legs and a tail. The small muffin turned into a small dino-like creature.

"It's alive! It's aliiiiiiiiive!" Pietro laughed. The tiny muffinsaurus roared and went after Lockheed. Craig started firing his laser.

"Craig, your laser might make it stronger!" Ororo said.

"I know that!" Craig snapped. "I'm trying to blast that jacket-eating lizard!" Lockheed took to the air, and spat flames at it. The muffinsaurus only seemed to get mad. It jumped around, roaring and snapping its jaws.

"I got it!" Blob grabbed the creature and held it tight. Paul held a jar to put it in. Fred stuffed it in, and Starchild slammed the lid on it.

"Could I have it?" Beast asked. "I'd love to study it."

"Sure." Fred handed the jar to Hank. Hank happily took it and went to his lab.

"Airtight would love to take a look at that thing." Wanda noted.

"Let's not tell anyone about this." Ororo said. "Especially Kitty."

"Agreed." They all said. Jean and Kitty returned, looking very satisfied. Paul looked out the window and he saw why.

"Ewww, that should not happen to a guy." Paul grimaced. Lance looked out the window and his face paled.

"Aw man, not even SUMMERS deserved THAT!" Lance looked like he was about to be sick.

A few hours later, the X-Men and the Misfits were preparing the gym for Paul's dance marathon. Paul and Pietro were standing in the center, looking on.

"And how are you going to arrange everything at such short notice?" Pietro smirked.

"I got it covered." Paul grinned. "I asked the local DJ at that club I went to last night to provide music." Xi passed by carrying a box.

"You mean hypnotized him." Xi smirked, joking.

"Hey!" Paul snapped playfully, punching Xi's arm. Xi laughed and continued on his way. A student walked up to Paul and pointed at Xi.

"What's with him?"

"Oh, he just is an assassin created and trained by Cobra who resisted their control and now lives with us." Paul said. "Xi can play a mean game of chess."

"Alright, just curious." The student walked away.

"You bigmouth!" Pietro snapped.

"He did ask." Paul explained coolly. Pietro mulled over the statement.

"You do have a point." Pietro explained. "Let's finish...Hoo boy." Paul and Pietro sighed at the sight. The X-Men and the Misfits were fighting again.

"ELEPHANT-LOVER!!!!" Kelly screamed, punching Duncan in the jaw.

"BUTTHEAD!!!" Duncan punched Kelly back. A couple cops watched the brawl.

"All night long." One cop shook his head in amazement. "Punch, punch, punch. Kick, kick, kick. Insult, insult, insult. All night long." The second cop whistled.

"SPY!!!!" Kelly kicked Duncan in the head.

"OWWW!!!"

"Bill..." The second cop laughed. "Shouldn't we break it up?"

"We tried, Alex." Bill, the first cop, snickered. "The chief ended up nearly being choked to death by both of them."

"DRUNKEN RETARD!!!" Duncan tackled Kelly and slammed him into a wall.

"Dude, this is great. Good thing we got a camera in that cell. We can watch this over again." Alex laughed.

"PANTY RAIDER!!!!" Kelly smashed Duncan with a backbreaker.

"OWWW!!!! YOU ANIMAL!!!!" Duncan screamed. "MY SPINE!!!!" Bill keeled over, laughing.

"Take that, you TRAITOR!!!!" Kelly screamed in Duncan's face. POW!! Duncan hit the ex-principal with a headbutt. "OWWW!!!" Duncan got back to his feet, punching Kelly some more.

"I love this town." Alex laughed. "I so love this town."

The night of the dance marathon arrived. All of Bayville gathered in the high school gym. They went to dance the night away, and try to win a DVD of their choice. The X-Men, Misfits, and Joes looked on in amazement. The gym was decorated with huge banners, balloons, and a table full of snacks and several bowls of punch.

"I must admit, that Paul knows how to throw a party." Recondo sipped on a cup of punch.

"No kidding." Cover Girl agreed. "The town seems to have gotten a lot friendlier towards mutants."

"I agree." Xavier smiled. "Starchild has shown them that mutants are just regular folks who want to live their lives in peace." He then noticed Amara, Tabby, Rogue, Jean, and Kitty argue with one another. "And have trouble getting along like everyone else." The girls were arguing over which one would dance with Paul. Scott and the three other X-Boys snuck in. Meanwhile, Kurt was in a slump. He sat in a chair sadly, his holowatch disguise on. Paul walked over to the demon-like teen.

"Yo Kurt, my main elf!" Paul grinned. "What's up?" Kurt sighed.

"I haven't seen Amanda anywhere." Kurt sighed.

"Don't worry. She'll show. I can sense these things. I can read women." Paul said. "She'll be here."

"Kurt?" A voice piped up. Kurt and Paul looked over and saw Amanda. She was wearing regular clothes, and she looked very happy to see Kurt. "Hi." Starchild grinned.

"Told ya." Paul patted Nightcrawler's shoulder. "I gotta meet the girls. Go to it. Remember, you da elf!" Paul walked towards the fighting X-Girls, most dazzling grin on his face. He looked over at the marathon. It was going great. Storm bashed Shipwreck upside the head with a punch ladle. Lance and Peter stayed away from each other for once. Colossus was too busy with Ray, Remy, and Scott. Xi observed the party from the shadows, Craig with him. Xi ended up alone however when Wanda grabbed Craig and started throwing him around, laughing.

"Help me..." Craig moaned, turning green from Wanda's dancing attempts.

"Okay, let's grab the punch." Remy, Ray, Scott, and Peter each grabbed a punch bowl. (A/N: Uh oh...)

"Ladies, ladies, ladies. Can't you all take a turn?" Paul tried to negotiate with the X-Girls.

"We're tryin', sugah, but they won't let me dance with you first!" Rogue glared at the others.

"Because I wanna dance with Paul first!" Jean snapped.

"Not gonna happen, sister! Paul loves me best, so I get to dance with him first!" Tabby exclaimed.

"Paul's gonna be my royal consort, so I get to dance with him first!" Amara screamed. Everyone was too busy fighting or dancing to notice Scott, Remy, Ray, and Peter sneak up behind Paul, carrying bowls of red punch. Also, no one noticed Kurt and Amanda were missing. Paul sighed.

"Like, Paul gave me a rose first, so I get to dance with him first!" Kitty yelled.

"Hoo boy." Paul sighed. "C'mon, girls. I'll..." He saw something down at his feet.

"Now!" Scott mouthed to the other boys. They threw the punch.

"Hey, a quarter." Paul bent down to pick up the shiny quarter, causing the punch to miss him completely and splash all over the X-Girls! Everyone stopped. The Misfits' eyes widened.

"Look what you did." Toad pointed at the X-Boys, impersonating Steve Urkel. The X-Girls looked at themselves in horror.

"My shirt!" Jean screamed. "I'm all sticky."

"Three guesses how." Rogue growled, looking at the foursome. "And the first two don't count."

"We gonna die." Remy squeaked.

"We're toast." Ray sweated.

"I want my mommy." Colossus squeaked.

"I can explain, Jean. It's all Paul's fault!" Scott pointed at Paul, who looked at him strangely.

"What'd I do?" He turned around and saw the girls. "You okay?"

"A likely story." Jean snarled.

"RUN AWAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!" Blob screamed.

"RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!!" Everyone ran out, except for the X- Boys. They were too frightened to move. Craig dragged a confused Paul out. As soon as everyone left, the X-Girls all cracked evil smiles at the X- Boys.

"HEEEEEEEEELPPPPP!!!!!!!! MOMMMMMMYYYYYY!!!!!!!" They cried. The others ran outside and heard the screams, explosions, and general noises of severe beatings.

"MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!"

"HEEEEEEEELLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!"

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"DEAR GOD NO!!!!!!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"For once, you can't blame us for this, Professor." Todd said to Xavier.

"Indeed." The professor agreed, sighing.

"Everyone gets a DVD!!!" Paul called out.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The crowd screamed.

"Where's Wagner?" Wanda looked around.

"There he is." Craig pointed with a smirk. Kurt wobbled up to the others. He had a goofy grin on his face. Lipstick marks were all over his face and his holowatch was off. He pointed at Paul.

"She liked ze stuff..." Kurt fainted.

"Another crazy couple days." Storm sighed. "All from two brothers."

"I got a feeling that those Starrs are going to make things even wilder than ever." Logan groaned.

Well, another crazy adventure comes to an end! Stay tuned for another adventure starring the Misfits and the X-Men! This is L1701E, signing off! Hope you enjoyed the story!
