Ok a short chapter before the next chapter (written by Oracles maiden) which I think NCSGirl is really going to enjoy! Kurt Muse does a funky lil dance
In the bar
Many members of the X-clan were a little worse for wear due to the immense alcohol intake of the evening (in fact the only one anywhere near soberville was Wolverine and that was only down to his healing factor!) We sat at a table big enough to fit the huge egos of Scott, Jean and Xavier. The group was participating in various activities ranging from singing (Kat) to chatting up the waitress (Remy).
"Well it is my personal opinion that in the event of a fight Captain America would wipe the floor with…" I dipped my drunken voice "…Captain Canada" However I forgot I was not drawing his attention to me and pointed in his face, I also forgot about his good hearing.
"Really but Elvis sure has some pretty mean claws!" Evelyn put in, in as louder voice as she could muster.
"Grrrrrr!" Wolverine growled
"Ahhh, Scuzzlebutt!" Kat screamed ducking under the table hands on head
"No that was Wolverine not Sabretooth…." Ev soothed
"Close enough!" Kat said rocking
"Smell's just as bad!" I laughed before looking at the murderous glare I was getting from the Canuck "…or not!"
He continued to looked at me while puffing on his cigar, he had a curious look in his eye, he looked like he was enjoying something then I realised… he was plotting my murder.
"Gambit goin' ta speak ta da belle over dere!" Remy said, getting up and walking over to the barmaid.
Wolverine was still looking at me; I shifted my chair back a bit glancing at him.
Hank scooted seats to sit where Gambit had been positioned. He peered at us.
"You see the thing about crabs is…" the blue mutant began "….that they can only go side ways…."
"No shit Sherlock!" I laughed
He ignored me carrying on with a finger held aloft "…and the thing about Professor Xavier is he can only go backwards and forwards, so it occurs to me that if we were to breed the two together we would get a master race of crabs that could go sideways and forwards and backwards!"
He paused watching to see if the implications of his genius was getting across
"And then…." He continued excitedly "…they could take over the world and we could be their slaves!"
I loved it when Dr McCoy got drunk, one day I really would have to record one his conversations to play back to him when he's sober.
"I shall demonstrate!" he said indicating Kat and Bobby to their feet "Right Kat you're the crab, Bobby your Xavier and me…" He grinned a triumphant and toothy grin "…I'm super crab!....No Bobby you don't have to shave your head!" He placed one each side of him "Kat can only go from side to side…" He pushed a drunken Kat from side to side "…and Bobby can only go backwards and forwards…" Bobby demonstrated making helpful hover chair sound effects "…but I can do this!" Hank squatted down on his haunches and covered his head with his hands and began creeping along in all directions while keeping up his crab pose.
"Come on people give the man a hand!" Jubes giggled clapping and wolf whistling loudly
Hank bowed and reclaimed his seat.
"Good one blue!!" I said slapping him on his Hawaii shirt clad back
"I think it's time Karaoke!" Kat announced as the table groaned
"Do not do Gloria Gaynor!" I said through gritted teeth
"Okay!" She said making her way to the stage and was it my imagination or did she blow a kiss to Bobby Drake…what is this? A love boat?
"When you're alone and life is making you lonely,
You can always go…."
As she did on Halloween Kat held the Microphone out for audience participation but the only one to sing "Down town" back at her was the Drakester.
"It must be love!" Jubes said
"Talking of love get a load of yer man over there!" I said to Mel who had been silent for the majority of the evening
We all looked as Kurt flirted with the waitress/barmaid that Remy had had his eye on.
"Aww bless look at the drunken Cajun, all by himself at the bar!" Jubes cooed
"I'll go over and see if he's alright!" I was glad to get away from Wolverine and the strange looks he kept giving me.
"It was you wasn't it!?" The Cajun accused poking me
"What!" suddenly Wolverines funny looks seemed mighty enticing
"You! You stole my tequila didn't you Kat! I thought dat Gambit was da thief eya not you!"
"Remy: 1) I'm Ash not Kat and 2) is that the missing tequila in your hand?"
"Humph! Smart arse!"
The ginger Satan had finally stopped singing and sat down with the icicle. I just sat glowering at various members of the table since my main target had gone to visit the Cajun.
"I know what's the stupidest thing you've ever done?" Bobby said clapping his hands with glee.
"May I go first?" Hank asked with a hint of a slur "I decided it would be good idea to shave all of my fur off, however 7 razors later I had only managed to shave of the fur on my face…let me tell you it wasn't a pretty sight I looked like a skinned rabbit at Easter!"
What the hell did Easter have to do with anything?!
"Okay the stupidest thing that I did was eat a slug and then because the slug might kill me I ate a bird and then I remembered that the bird could kill me too so then I had to try and eat a cat but I couldn't but…." Bobby looked proud "…I did get a pretty mean fur ball!!" Then he whispered "Do you know what the experience taught me?"
We waited patiently before he carried on sagely glancing at Kat "…you should never try eating anything bigger then your head. Not whole anyway!" He sat back and folded his arms before his chair tipped backwards resulting with him sat on the floor with a bump on his head.
The dick stood up in fearless leader stance "My name is Scott Summers and the biggest mistake I ever made was…." We all groaned as Jeannie giggled "not marrying this lovely sweet wonderful woman earlier"
I looked around and saw the freshly returned Ashley making gagging gestures; I kept up my end by smirking
Jeannie and ol' one eye than began mauling each other I let out a disgusted snort.
"The stupidest thing that I've ever done is agree to come on the 'holiday'!" I growled
Kat began giggling "Do you know the funniest thing that we've ever done?" She looked around at everyone who just blinked "It was when me, Beastie boy, clawed freak and one eye gave blue boy that dating advice!"
"What?!"
I made a move to kill the bloody brat.
Kat giggled "It was hilarious and Mel had no idea!"
I had a strange feeling in my stomach, a feeling I'd never had before could it be guilt? Hell I have a conscious after all that's one bet that Nick Fury's lost!!
Come on and feed a small starving blue muse, leave a review! Remember a muse is for life, not just for Christmas!
