[A/N: It's girls versus guys in a game of Pictionary. Taunts and Threats are on the rise as the game gets a little more serious. The smart remarks even turn teamates against eachother. ~Kuroi Tori (Black Tiger) All X-Men characters are of their respected creator(s) and isn't owned by me.]
"Are you all ready?" Xavier asked, handing a card each to Jean and Scott. Jean grinned, being the first to pick up the marker.
"Yep Professor! I'm ready to whip some butt!"
"I assume you all know the rules. When one team is up, the other team can not yell out the answer."
Scott arched a brow at Jean who pranced over to the drawing board.
"Got'cha, Professor" Logan grunted.
"I don't know zhis american game. Vhat is it?" Kurt asked looking down on Rogue from the cieling fan.
"Ya have to draw something that would eventually lead ya to guess what's on tha card." Rogue answered. She tilted her head. Xavier turned over the hour glass for a fresh start.
"Go!"
Jean immediately got to drawing and her team started screaming out words. Wolfsbane jumped up when she saw Jean drawing a circle.
"A moon!" Jean shook her head and continued to draw.
"Uh, Ah guess...Ah guess it's a bus!" Rogue screamed seeing that Jean drew two more circles at the bottom of the large circle she first formed. Jean shook her head.
"A galaxy of stars!" Psylocke Screamed. Jean started making small squares into the corners of each circle. There was a page full of circles with tiny squares in them. Xavier looked to the hour glass. 15 seconds.
"Rings?" Ororo guessed as she brought a hand to her chin.
"Ah! I know zhis one! It's bubbles! bubbles, Jean!"
Jean excitedly screamed, turning around. Kurt was placed on the girls team because they liked him more. He was ithe fuzzy dude/i who liked to /i.
"yeah! Good job, Kurt!"
"Five points for Jean's team. Scott you're next." Xavier said as he took the card from Jean.
"Okay, guys. Lets show these Women exactly what we're made of!" Scott howled. The rest of the guys hooted. Even Logan.
"Go!" Xavier shouted as he placed the hourglass on its opposite side. Scott glanced to the card. He eagerly attacked the drawing board with the red marker.
"Beer!" Logan shouted before Scott even had a chance to begin drawing. Scott turned around and arched a brow at him.
"Beer?" He mouthed. He knew he'd be disqualified if he spoke. He shook his head and returned to draw.
"A deck of cards!" Gambit shouted, showing off his favorite deck. The Ace of hearts fluttered into Rogue's gloved hand. She looked down on it.
"Uh...Ah..."
"For you Chere." Gambit smiled. He tilted his head then winked. Rogue quickly turned her eyes from him.
"Times up." Xavier called, turning to Scott who eagerly tried to get a bit more artwork out for display. Maybe someone would happen to yell out the answer in the nick of time. Archangel, peter, and bobby blankily stared at the stick-figured cow in the corner and the rectangle in the center of the page.
"What the hell is that supposed to be?" Logan asked, lifting a heineken can to his lips.
"It's a carton of MILK, Logan!"
"Milk?" Kurt asked.
"Yes milk!" Scott yelled. He pointed to the rectangle with the giant M in its middle.
"This is the Carton!" He then pointed to the stick-figure with horns and a hand for an utter.
"This is a cow! Cows produce what? Logan!"
"Beer." Logan replied calmly. He only said that to make him even more upset. It worked. Scott threw up his hands in frustration.
"Why do i even--"
"Scott. Sit down. It's mah turn." Rogue said, snatching the marker from his hand. She walked past him and he plopped down onto the couch beside his teammates. The professor handed Rogue a card. War was written on it. Xavier started the time.
"Hn."
Rogue used different colors for this picture. her teammates all shouted different answers to her. Ranging from "Rainbow!" to "Colors of the Wind." Rogue shook her head to all the answers. Wolsbane jumped up and Amara followed. They looked over Rogue's work of colors and saw that it formed a bloody scene. men in uniform. A flag in the background, and a general pointing forward. In unision they screamed.
"War!!!!!"
Rogue sighed happily and turned around. She tossed a look to the crossed Scott who folded his arms.
"5 more points for Jean's team. They're now in the lead with ten to zero." Xavier looked over the guys.
"Are you all asleep? The women are enjoying themselves quite well."
Logan looked up from his Heini to the professor. "I'm not up for this game. I'm kind of tired. I...gotta pull out."
Scott rolled his eyes. "Typical. You're always the one to bail, Logan."
It was bad enough that Logan already didn't like this guy, Scott must of not realized that he was asking for a confrontation. Logan felt it was unnecessary and he continued out of the room.
" I don't have time for petty games. I could be doing much better things with my time" He grumbled.
"Goddamn, Wolverine." Scott muttered. "such a loser."
Ororo watched as Logan disappeared through the door of the Rec. Room. Archangel picked up the marker and went to the drawing board. He looked over his card. And listened in on the outbursts of his teammates.

"Yo' I heard them X Creeps are having a fun time at Xaviers." Todd exclaimed hopping onto the kitchen table. "How about we crash their party!"
"That's a great idea!" Fred commented after swiping away the flies that Tolansky brought to the table. He covered his sandwhich from the pests.
"We don't have a reason to." Lance plopped into a backwards chair while Pietro zoomed in different spots of the kitchen. He was fixing a 3 piece sandwhich.
"Doyoureallyneedone?" he asked, reaching for the mayonaisse then quickly returning to his sandwhich across the room.
"he's right." Wanda intervened, stepping into the kitchen's doorway.
"Snookums!" Tolansky hopped off the table toward her. Wanda stepped out of his reach and he fell into the wall.
"Ow. Nice to see you too." Todd groaned and Lance chuckled.
"Wanda!" Pietro smiled. He zipped up to her with a plate in his hand. "For you."
It took a moment for Wanda to accept it. "Thanks."
"You'rewelcome."
"I told you to make this an hour ago." Wanda complained, taking a seat at the table. She was sitting at the side of Fred.
"I was doing your laundry and I made up your room. ...The way it was before you left. Did'ya see?"
"I saw." She replied, boredly biting into her sandwhich. Pietro zoomed across the kitchen behind the others to fix himself a sandwhich.
"While you're up Pietro" Tolansky grinned as he tried snuggling up to Wanda. "How 'bout you get my snooky hun, here, a soda." He grinned. Wanda leaned back from him and slammed the rest of her sandwhich into his face.
"Disgusting." She muttered just before kicking the legs out from under the chair, Todd squated down on. He fell back with a thud. Wanda stalked out of the room.
"Yeah... she wants me." Todd sighed.

"What?! How can that be? No way!" Scott yelled across the room at Kurt. Kurt BAMFed infront of him.
"You callin' me a liar, man?" The fuzzy elf poked him in the shoulder, sending a few steps back. Scott looked from his shoulder then glared at Kurt.
"Yeah! You and your girls cheated! I knew you'd betray us /i!"
"Scott! Kurt!" Jean screamed, stepping between them.
"Stay out of this one." Archangel warned. Psylocke joined Angel at his side. She placed her arms around his shoulder then nodded.
"Maybe you should let them settle this in their own way." Betsy watched as Jean slowly sat back down in her seat.
" I don't even know vhy I'm arguing vit you! It's just a stupid game, Scott! Maybe you need to lighten up and live a little!" Kitty looked over the two. She never saw Kurt so angry and it seemed that just under that blue fur, a hint of red was forming. Ororo sat quietly in the corner, reading the novel that she started earlier this morning. She figured that it would take a moment for them to calm down. Rogue had her gloved hands to her face and she stared at the carpet below her feet.The constant arguing between the two had finally reached her boiling point. She stood up.
"Ah'm goin' for a walk." Remy was the first to follow.
"An' Ah'll keep you company, chere. You never know what guys are waiting to pick you up." Gambit chuckled, sliding his hands into his pockets.
"Now, Now, Scott. Kurt.there's no need for an argument. Scott. The women's team won fair and square. Maybe next time...--" The professor was cut short.
"There wouldn't be a next time if Logan hadn't of left and this traitor *he pushed Kurt back a bit* hadn't of switched sides!" Angrily, Scott reached to the couch and snatched up his jacket. Kurt stepped aside and watched as Scott stormed out of the room. The room fell silent, and it seemed like everyone had their eyes to the carpet. Kitty stared at her shoes. Kurt shook his head and refused to speak anymore. BAMF! The front door to the Manor slammed and rattled a few picture frames along the wall. Moments later they could hear a familiar jeep starting outside.
"Well now..." The professor voiced, folding his hands under his chin.
"Are you all ready?" Xavier asked, handing a card each to Jean and Scott. Jean grinned, being the first to pick up the marker.
"Yep Professor! I'm ready to whip some butt!"
