On the streets

"Trick or treat!!"

I watched as Kat and Jubes did a circuit of the neighbourhood solo while me, Mel and Ev kept an eye on the kids (who surprisingly were better behaved than Kat!!)

I watched horrified as I saw a familiar pair walk down the road towards Kat and Jubes- Blob and PYRO!!

"Right everybody back to the mansion for alcohol!!" I instructed and watched triumphantly as all my team hurried of down the road bustling the kids in front of them.

Kat stopped suddenly and began throwing fireballs at Pyro who instantly threw them back at her. This drew the attention of the younger children and they instantly began a full scale attack on Pyro, sweets n treats forgotten.

I grabbed Kat who struggled "A little help here people!" I yelled at the girls indicating at the children

5 minutes later

Everything seemed to be under control and Pyro and Blob were retreating hastily.

"We sure showed them!" said one of the children known only as Bounce

"Ummm…White lightning where are our sweets?" a small boy asked tugging on my Wolverine costume

I knew Blob had looked heavily laden but I had just thought he had put more weight on "Umm..Blob!"

"After them!" Kat screamed

"Oh no I knew this was a bad idea" I muttered chasing after the rabble.

Back at the R.X wing

"Right you kid's are going to stay in our wing and amuse yourselves because you don't deserve to be allowed to go to the party!" I reprimanded

The kids looked surprised but what the hell did they expect after causing a full scale riot which ended with the police getting involved. In a moment of weakness Jubes had contacted Wolverine who had hit the roof and demanded that we come back and as punishment paint the Blackbird. Typical huh? Why is it every holiday I spend with these girls something always goes wrong resulting with punishment?

"Come on you 4 to the Blackbird." I ordered

"What about you?"

"I'm going to do some trick or treating of my own." I said stalking off towards the main mansion

Knock Knock

"Who's dere?"

"Trick or Treat?"

"Gambit wanna know how you got to his room" came a muffled voice from behind the door which opened slowly.

I stood grinning hands held out, I knew what Gambit would give out it had been the same for the last 2 years.

"Dere you go"

I blinked at him "Is that all? Even Wolverine gave us more than that!" I lied

"Okay okay dere ave all of Gambit's supply dere's plenty at da party anyway" Gambit said handing me 5 bottles of his tequila

"Thank you" I said before walking off "oh and by the way who's in your room with you?" I asked looking back over my shoulder at him

Gambit merely blushed before shutting the door

In the Blackbird hanger

"I've brought refreshments!!"

"Oh goody!!"

2 hours later

"Finished!" Mel slurred triumphantly

"Yay!!" I said looking up at the Blackbird now painted a fetching hue of purple with nice lime green spots on.

"Itsss bueat-if-ful" Jubes said in wonderment like a small child

"Help!!" I heard Kat cry

"Where is she?" Ev asked

"Come out come out wherever you are!"

3 minutes later

"Where is she??"

"Oh look theres a big bubble in the paint work!" Ev pointed out before I hit up side the head

"That's Kat you idiot!"

Kat it appears had become stuck to the wet paint in a similar manner to a beetle. 'Oh gawd!' I thought slapping my forehead tempted to just leave her there but decided that wouldn't be fair on whoever had to use the Blackbird next.

"Get her down!" I instructed wearily.

At our door

"It's in his kiss, that's where it is,

oh yeah or is it in his eye's…"

The voice sounded as suspiciously tone death as Kats I turned; I looked over my shoulder to see that she was still with us, albeit smelling of turpentine.

"Maybe they've moved the party into here" Mel mused

 I opened the door to be greeted by a sight befitting Halloween, it was horrifying, it was devastating, it was drunken X-Brats.

"Where the hell did they get the alcohol?" Ev asked almost angrily

I shrugged guiltily I had a feeling me stash from under my bed that helped me to sleep had been raided but I said nothing. We could always blame this on Gambit. We watched in horror as the 10 children (ranging from ages 7-13) we had been put in charge of ran around leaving destruction in their wake, sang Karaoke and threw up in pot plants.

"Oh no…their just like us!!" Mel breathed.

"Ruuunnn!" I instructed and we did just that.
