A/N: *shakes head* I'm disturbed by the frequency of my updates. It's just not natural…
Cable: YOU are not allowed to talk about being disturbed, Ms "let's see how much MORE damage we can do to Nathan's psyche!"
Me: *blinks* Is it just me, or does that sound like a fic idea? I think it does!
Cable: AARRGGGHHH!!! That's IT!! Give me Pocket-lips any day! I'm outta here!! *runs, but goes no where*
Me: *sigh* He's a slow learner, ain't he? Must be because of that time Bobby dropped him on his head as a baby…
Cable: Drake did WHAT?!
Me: And on that note, on with the madness!
Kitty had put the frame aside, and was now holding what appeared to be red stones.
"HEY!" Scott roared, abruptly breaking his embrace with Jean (much to everyone's relief. They really didn't want to see lil' Nate or lil' Rachel conceived, thank you very much. Cable: You're paying for my therapy when this is all over.) "Those are my spare shades!!!"
"Correction: those VERE your spare shades," Kurt commented, eyeing the broken sunglass fragments.
Jean humphed and pulled away, straightening her shirt and hair. Mumbling about men in general and a certain red-eyed one in particular, she flopped next to Rogue. Who was, incidentally, still giggling insanely about her plot for revenge.
Logan had fallen asleep, snoring softly, much to Kurt's amusement. He was entertaining himself by putting fur into Logan's mouth, piece by piece. So far, Logan looked like he had eaten a bird's nest, but hadn't awoken.
Xavier's eyes were starting to get the glazed, porno-watching look, much to Ororo's discomfort, as he was looking right at her. "When we get out of here, I'm getting a raise," she mumbled unhappily.
"And now we'll explore the wonderful world of stained glass!"
Jean suddenly grabbed Rogue's face, smiling as her power was drained and she fell unconscious. Luckily, Rogue was so out of it she didn't notice.
"Curses. I was going to try that," Scott muttered.
Meanwhile…
Roberto glanced up from the Chinese porno mag he was ogling. "Has anyone noticed the others have been in there a really long time?"
Pause.
"Maybe something happened," Amara suggested from where she was modeling a silk blouse she'd bought.
"Maybe we should check on them," Jubilee added.
Silence.
"Or maybe we should throw a party."
"Yup."
And with that the New Mutants spread throughout the mansion, each calling up different guests.
And also meanwhile…
Bobby nervously swallowed his piece of pizza. "Um, Hank?"
"Yes, Robert?"
"Is it just me…or is the wall bulging?"
Beast spun to look at the wall-the wall that separated his lab from the rest of the mansion. "Oh my stars and garters…it is…"
Bobby thought. "So that means…"
"…it's loose," Hank whispered.
"I'll start packing. You get the passports."
