X-Men Camping Trip
By Nari and Ricki



Chapter One



"First of all, thank you all for coming, I know that this is a rather sudden meeting," Cyclops spoke to the people who were currently gathered in the war room.

"Stop with the pleasantries, Cyke and tell us why the hell we're here?" Wolverine growled, angry at being pulled away from his pool game with the Cajun. He was just about to wipe the table with him and now Remy would find every excuse imaginable not to continue.

"I have come up with a new way for us to learn to be a family again." The room filled with groans and mutters of disbelief. "And you can all shut up now because no one is getting out of this!" Eight sets of glares were directed at him.

"Would you get on with it, Cyke?"

"We are all going on a camping trip!" Cyclops said enthusiastically. *THUD* "BOBBY! Get up, it's not that bad!" Bobby struggled unhappily to his feet.

"You have got to be kidding us?"

"Did y' get dropped on y' head a lot when y' were a child den?"

"That's it! He's finally lost it!"

"I told you all to be quiet! You are all going to go on this trip and you are all going to like it dammit!! This will give us a chance to spend some quality time together. Now go and get packed we leave tomorrow!! Morning!!" With that he stalked out of the room, leaving behind a room of shocked X-men.


The next morning, very very early....


"Okay let's do a check to make sure that everybody's here. Bobby?" He looked around to see Bobby sleeping in the back seat of the van. "BOBBY!" Bobby startled out of sleep, quickly sitting up. *bang*

"Owwww." Bobby rubbed the front of his head where he had hit the door frame.

"Good. Logan?" Wolverine grunted in reply. "Rogue?"

"Ready and raring, sugah."

"Jean is here, of course. Sam?"

"Ah'm here."

"Warren?" Warren flipped him off and walked away grumbling."Storm?"

"Of course, Cyclops."

"Remy?" Silence. "Remy?" Still nothing. "Where the hell is Gambit?" He looked around at all the half asleep people. "And Jubilee?"

"Ah guess they're still sleepin'."

"How is this supposed to be a fun trip if you people do not cooperate!?! I'll go and wake them up!" Cyclops stalked off.

Cyclops stalked up the stairs and into Remy's room, an empty bucket by his side. He growled to himself when he saw Remy snuggled on the bed, happily asleep.

"REMY! GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUT OF BED!!!"

"..."

"GAMBIT!! I'M WARNING YOU."

"...go t' hell..."

"Okay, fine, but don't say that I didn't warn you." Cyclops walked out of the room and into Remy's bathroom. He filled the bucket with cold water and went back into the room. "This is your last warning. I suggest you get up."

"...die alien scum..." *SPLASH* "AHHH. Merde! What de hell?!" Remy jerked up and glared at Cyclops. Cyclops grabbed his wrists and pulled. *THUD* He smiled down at Remy sweetly.

"Time to get up."

"Damn sadist," Remy grumbled but got up off the floor and went into the bathroom.

"YOU HAVE TEN MINUTES!!" He walked out of Remy's room and over to Jubilee's. A few minutes went by before Remy heard a thud and then Jubilee cursing Cyclops.

Fifteen minutes later and everyone was finally accounted for. No one was going to be skipping out on this trip.

"Now, we need to figure out who's going to ride in which car."

"I think that it would be a good idea for you boys to take the van. We girls will take the car," Jean suggested. "It will give you a chance to bond."

"You're kidding. Please, tell me you're kidding. Jean, there is no way I am riding in the car with them!"

"Now Scott, this trip was your idea after all. You're the one who said we needed to bond."

"No, I said *they* needed to bond not me."

"Scott," Jean said in warning.

"Fine, you guys all get in the van." Everybody grumbled but complied, climbing sluggishly into the van. Scott turned to Jean and the girls.

"Why don't we make this more interesting, Scott?"

"What do you mean?"

"A race. First one to the camping site wins."

"No way are you girls going to beat us!" Wolverine said from the passenger side of the van.

"Care to make a bet on that?" Jean asked.

"You're on!"

"The losers have to do all the work when we get there."

"You got yourself a bet, Jeannie." Jean and Wolverine shook hands, sealing the deal. Scott and the girls then quickly climbed into their respective vehicles and the two vehicles took off towards the woods.


Two hours later with the boys...


"Dammit, Cyke. Yer driving too slow! Those girls are gonna beat us if you keep driving like an old lady!"

"I know how to drive, Wolverine."

"Are ya sure about that? Let me drive. I'll win this bet!"

"If I let you drive we'd get there in pieces!"

"At least with me driving we *would* get there! We'll all be old men by the time you get there!"

"Are we there yet?" Bobby asked from the backseat.

"NO! WE WERE NOT THERE FIVE MINUTES AGO AND WE ARE NOT THERE NOW!!"

"How 'bout now?" Sam asked.

"NO!!!!"

"Now?" Bobby asked.

"NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

"Are we there now?" Sam asked.

"ARGH!!!"

"'Kay, y' ready?"

"Ready."

"1, 2, 3. HAH. Rock! I win again!"

"You must be cheating!"

"It's rock, paper, scissors Warren! How c'n y' cheat at rock, paper, scissors?!"

"I don't know but I'm sure you could find a way!"

"You stupid flyboy! y' can't cheat at rock, paper, scissors! It's impossible!"

"I don't trust you!"

"Cycke, tell him y' can't cheat at rock, paper, scissors!"

"Yes, you can! Tell him Cyke!!"

"Dammit, Cyke. Go faster!!"

"Are we there yet?"

"Oh God, I'm not going to survive this trip. What was I thinking?"


Same time with the girls...


"Oh come on Jubes, what's the big deal?"

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe I don't want to!"

"But he would be so perfect for yah, sugah."

"No way!"

"Did you notice that we are ahead of the boys?" Storm asked suddenly.

"Hey, that's right!"

"I have an idea," Jean whispered.


One hour later...



"Sooo, are we there yet?" Bobby asked quickly.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr," Cyclops growled.

"Hey! Ain't dat de girls car?"

"Yeah. Looks like they broke down. Should we help?" Warren asked.

"Of course we should. We all're gentlemen here aren't we?"

The others agreed with Sam and they pulled the van over behind the girls car. Scott got out and walked up to the girls, who were still sitting in the car seemingly enjoying the air conditioning.

"Did you guys break down?"

Jean looked up at him from behind her sunglasses. She smiled. "No," she said simply and then slammed on the breaks, screeching away and leaving Cyclops behind joking on the dust.

"CYCLOPS!! GET IN THE VAN!! I'M DRIVING!!" Wolverine yelled to him. Scott stumbled back and jumped into the passengers seat.

"I don't care how you do it, make sure you beat those girls!"

Wolverine grinned at him. "Now that's what I like to hear!" They tore out after the girls in a cloud of dust.
