Ready for departure

"Gee it was awful kind of you to pick me you know Ashley!" Scott gushed

"You won't be saying that when we get back!" I murmured under my breath

"Right everyone bag's into the X-Van!" Professor X instructed

"Wait…for…me!" Kat puffed lugging her suitcases down the stairs

I handed my small light suitcase to Scott to take to the Van and went to give Kat a hand with her larger suitcase.

"Jesus! What have you got in here? A baby elephant?" I asked

Kat just giggled foolishly.

Wolverine walked past "No it's Bobby Drake!" he said sniffing

"KAT?!"

"What?!"

Onboard the liner

I walked around the taking in the scent of the sea breeze, everything was so fresh, unaffected on the ocean it was great. I walked around to the back to see if there were any dolphins following us. I peered over the side and down into the clear blue sea, I looked forward the sea breeze caressing my face. Were ocean liners meant to pull small red dinghies? I looked closer squinting against the sun someone was clinging onto the dingy for dear life…looking even closer I realized that it was Bobby Drake, who grinned inanely at me when he saw me.

I groaned. "Bobby what are you doing here?"

Bobby let go of the dingy to cup a hand to his ear but he seemed to have forgotten he was meant to be clinging to the dingy for dear sweet life and he disappeared under the waves. I peered down to see if I could see him. Oppsie Bobby drowned! Kat wasn't going to be happy.

Just as I went to walk to the bar where we were all going to meet, I heard some one land behind me.

"Oh so you're alive the?" I couldn't help keep the regret from my voice.

I looked at the tower of ice he had raised himself out of the water on

 "Impressive" I complimented "but you do realise that you are going to have to share a room with Wolverine, Hank, Xavier, Kurt, Gambit or Scott and Jean!"

Bobby slapped his head "I knew I should have stayed at home!"

In the bar

Jubes, Kat, Bobby and I stood in a line behind were Gambit had started to chat up a woman sat at the bar.

"He's a smooth operator…

hee'ss a smooth operator…"

We crooned loud enough for both him and his date to hear.

"Why don't da petites go annoy someone else" he asked us

"But what about Rogue Gambit?" Bobby asked innocently as the rest of us continued to sing.

"Who's Rogue?" The blonde asked

"Oh it's Gambit's wife and the mother of his children!" Jubes lied mischievously.

"Well I never…!" the 'eye candy' got up and slapped Gambit across the cheek "Get a life you wanker!" She screamed as she walked from the room

Gambit reached inside his coat…

Gulp "RUN!!!"

Cowering under Hanks arm

"Thanks Hank don't worry Gumbo will calm down in a little while and then we'll quite literally get out of your fur!" Jubes said peeping out from Hanks vast fur.

"So who's Bobby sleeping with?" I asked

"We are yet to decide that" Hank said glowering at Scott and Jean "It's seems that they get special dispensation"

"Why's that?" Kat asked innocently

"Because they may want to participate in activities in which Bobby would not be able to be included or even want to be!" I said wisely

"No…" Hank corrected "…it's because Scott wiggled his bum"

5 minutes later

Kat held out the straws, all the males took one and looked apprehensively at each others straws.

"Mine's long it can't be me!" Xavier said with a whoop of delight

"So's mine!" Wolverine looked relieved

"…and mine"

"Same here"

"Ditto"

"Hang on let me look at them!" Evelyn said looking at the straws that were held in various size, shape and colour of hands "Kat!? Did you actually cut one shorter then the others?"

"Where's the fun in that?" Kat said scratching her head in way that resembled a chimpanzee

A minute later

I looked at Wolverines fist and compared it to Hanks clenched paw; this was going to be tight. I wouldn't want to fight it out with either of them two.

"Okay!" I said holing up a greying sock that was to act as a referee's flag "I want a clean fight okay, no use of powers or smashing of skulls you got that?"

Both competitors nodded

"Okay bow to the judge…" they did so "…bow to each other" again they did so

'It'll be fun when it's Xavier's turn!' I thought wickedly

"Okay on the count of three…one…two…three! Go!" I said waving the sock

"Rock paper scissors!" They cried in unison

"…And the loser is….Wolverine!" I said waving the 'flag again'

"Bloody scissors blunted by friggin' rock!" Wolverine grumbled getting ready for the next round against Xavier and Kurt who had both lost to Gambit.

"Round three then people, it's the final and contestant number one is over all loser and general pain in the butt WOOOOLLLVVERINE!…..Let's have a round of applause for the hairy little guy" I urged our captive audience (quite literally Kat had bound various members of the crew to chairs, tables and Gambit's legs).

"Let's hear a warm welcome for the cool fuzzy blue dude who is challenging Wolverines title as arsehole extraordinaire….Kurt Wagner come on down!!" Thank god I was the referee or else I would have been in serious danger of being sliced and diced.

The room was filled with Boo's it seems everyone had heard of his treatment of Mel!

"Your reputation precedes you I see!" I commented before proceeding

"…And last and by all mean's least, is a wheel chair bound hypocrite with a head often used as a fortune tellers crystal ball it's Charleeesssss Xavier!"

"Okay you know the drill, bow…." They did so then automatically turned to me and bowed "Wow! We could house train you next!" I sneered raising my 'flag'

"On the count of three…one two….THREE!"

"Rock, paper, scissors!" They all yelled

"Paper covers rock!" The Professor yelled excited

"Scissors cut paper!" Wolverine growled

"Rock smashes scissors!" Kurt put in

"Okay, okay a three way tie it will be judge's decision based on the performance of the competitors…" I informed the crowd "…Judges over here!"

We huddled together and began frantic whispering

"HOLD UP!! HOOOLLLD UP!" I yelled "Professor Xavier get out of our heads or you shall automatically be announced loser!"

The professor blushed and slumped his shoulders forward.

I returned to the judging panel (i.e. everyone but the competitors and Bobby).

A minute later-the judge's decision

"Okay we have reached our verdict." I said waving the smelly sock to grab people's attention "We have taken into account Professor Xavier's cheating and have decided that…."

I paused to maximise the tension

"Kurt Wagner will you please step forward…" Wolverine and Professor X let out relived sighs "…the judges have decided you will…NOT have to share your room with Iceman!"

"Wahoo! In your face baldy! In your face…" snickt "…never mind!" Kurt yelled doing a happy dance

"Wolverine the judges have ruled that…" a smirk spread across his face "…it will be you who has to share his personal space with Bobby Drake!" His face dropped and creased in anger "Our commiserations…" I grabbed my fellow judges arms "…run you fools!" I breathed  

On the deck sun bathing

I started sunbathing and reading my copy of 'Jane Eyre' happily enough but the whole situation soon turned to tragedy.

"Is this sun bed taken?" Came a sugary voice

"Yes Jean it is" I told her not even looking up from my book and not even offering an explanation, other then I disliked the goody three shoes!

"I've brought ice cream!"

Damn her tempting me with luscious cold snacks whilst in a searing tropical climate. I looked up, in front of me she held an ice cream and an ice lolly, I took the ice lolly and began to suck while indicating for her to sit down.

We sat in silence for a few minutes which suited me fine, however Jean soon began shrieking.

"What is it?" I snapped my head up expecting a streaker

"I just spilt some ice cream on my stomach!" Jean giggled wiping it off

I felt something cold hit my stomach too "Hey I've just done the same thing!"

"Umm…Ash you're not eating ice cream…but that sea gull up there sure looks proud of its self!"

'Damn you Jean Grey-Summers!' I thought shaking my fist at the sky

"Why are you doing that?" Jean asked puzzled

I didn't bother answering I just glowered.

Later…

"Professor, oh professor!" Jubes sang out loud enough for the old man to hear.

The Professor hovered over in his hover chair.

"Will you play skittles with me?" She asked with a winning grin

"Of course I will Jubilation!"

"Skittles?!" Came Scott's amused voice; we did the only thing we could do and looked in the other direction.

We sat and watched as Jubilee, Ev and the Professor played skittles, unfortunately however it wasn't long before Jubes got bored. To combat her boredom Jubilee threw her skittle ball in the air and caught it however after the third time she missed it and it crashed down with a thud on the smooth shiny surface that was Xavier's head. The Professor slumped forward in his chair causing the hover chair to dart, at the dangerously high speed of 4 miles an hour, towards the railings.

"Don't worry he'll be fine the railings will stop him going in to the water!" Jubes comforted Scott rubbing his back

However as the hover chair hit the railings the Professor's unconscious body catapulted out of the chair and over the railings and with a plop into the sea.

"Its better this way" I said to a sobbing Jean Grey-Summers "He died for the cause, now we will always remember him this way not as a withered up, bald old man who dribbles…" I thought for a moment "Oh wait that is exactly how we're going to remember him" I shrugged

Beast peered over the edge staring at the Professors floating body getting left behind

"Do something Beast!" Jean urged

"And get my fur wet you must be joking!" Beast said

"Never fear damsel I shall save our sexy little friend!" Scott said jumping over board

Jubilee grinned "This day is getting better and better!"

2 minutes later

Unfortunately Scott and the Professor both returned from their…er…swim very wet and very angry…okay so the Professor was angry and Scott gazed longingly at his bald headed 'friend'.

Hope you enjoyed! Now review! Muse cracks his whip! Dooo it!
