Toad To The Rescue!!

            "Alright guys, hustle it up, let's go!" Scott told his cabin mates, as they all grabbed their jackets to head out to the dance.

            Toad grabbed onto the video game system and the two controls. "Toad, aren't you coming?" Peter asked him.

            Toad shook his head, "Nah, I'm gonna go over to keep Betsy company. I feel really bad that she's sick, yo."

            "Just don't try anything!" Pietro warned him.

            Toad stared at him, "What kind of idiot do you take me for, Pietro?!"

            The boys looked at him, "Well, thanks for keeping her company Toad. She'll really appreciate it." Brian smiled at him.

            Toad looked at his cabin mates as they left. "Bye!" He waved sarcastically.

*~*~*~*

            "Bye Betsy! You sure you gonna be okay?" Wanda asked, as she grabbed onto her red velvet trench coat.

            Elizabeth wiped her nose with a tissue, and sniffled, "Yes! Just get out of here!" She smiled, through her stuffed up voice.

            Jean gave her a cup filled with Nyquil. "Drink this. You'll be able to get some rest so we can go home tomorrow." She told her.

            Elizabeth rolled her eyes, and took the small plastic cup. She gulped it down. She then gave the cup back to Jean, and Jean threw it in the trash. "Okay, we're gonna go now." Rogue told her.

            Elizabeth waved to them, "Bye!"

*~*~*~*

            Elizabeth and Toad sat in front of the television, playing their video game. Elizabeth had her blanket wrapped around her. "Aw! You beat me!" Elizabeth playfully snapped.

            Toad laughed, as he put down his controller. "Like I said, no one will ever be able to beat Quick wart at this game!" He smiled.

            Elizabeth grinned, as she covered herself up more. "Thanks for keeping me company Toad. You are a gentleman!" She smiled.

            Toad shrugged, "Hey, it's the least I can do to thank you for sticking up for me like that." He smiled. "But how about I go to the cafeteria, and grab some soup for ya, and get some munchies. I'm gettin' pretty hungry, babycakes!" He grinned.

            Elizabeth lifted her lip, "Okay, just please don't refer to me as one of your pet names for girls!" She slightly laughed.

            Toad shrugged, "Alright then, yo." He stood up, and walked towards the door, opening it. He turned to her, pointing, "I'll be back!" He mocked.

            Elizabeth shook her head, and smiled. He then left her in the cabin alone. Elizabeth shook her head, beginning to feel drowsy from the medicine Jean had given her.

*~*~*~*

            Toad opened the pantry, and looked in, "Hmm. Soup, Tea, chips!" He grinned.

*~*~*~*

            Elizabeth walked towards her bunk bed, but stopped, as she heard a noise from outside the cabin. She raised her eyebrow curiously, and walked towards the cabin door. She opened it, and looked out, "Toad?" She called.

            She shrugged, and turned to close the door, but suddenly it was pushed in, knocking her onto the ground. She looked up, and saw five figures standing above her. "Duncan?! What the bloody hell do you want?!" She hissed.

            Duncan stood in front of his 'buddies', and stared down at her. "Like I said, watch your back bitch!" He growled.

            He grabbed onto her, and pulled her to her feet, "Let's see how well you fight without your mutie friends around!" He snapped, as he threw her to his friends.

            His friends dragged her outside, with him closing the door behind them. "Let's take the mutie to the lake, and see how well she swims!" Duncan told his friends.

*~*~*~*

            Toad walked into the cabin, and looked around, with the food in his arms. "Betsy?" He curiously asked, seeing the cabin empty.

            He looked down, and noticed her blanket on the floor. He heard a slight scream from outside. He turned and rushed out of the cabin. He gasped, as he saw silhouettes moving around each other frantically near the docks. He saw one with long hair, "Betsy!" He gasped.

*~*~*~*

            Elizabeth grabbed onto David's arm that was wrapped around her neck from behind her. She tossed him over her shoulder. "Bring it on, Duncan! I don't need to use my powers to handle pricks like you!" She hissed, as she clenched her fists.

            Kenny laughed, and attempted to go for her, but his wrist was wrapped with Toad's tongue, and he was thrown back. "Leave her alone, dicks!" They heard.

            Elizabeth slightly smiled, as she saw Toad crouching in the shadows. "Get him!" Duncan hissed.

            David got up, and ran towards Toad, but stopped, as Toad shot his slime in his face. "Toad, please! Get out of here! I'll handle them!" Elizabeth snapped at him.

            "Are you nuts?" Toad snapped back at her.

            Suddenly, Kenny punched Toad forward. "You punk ass bitch!" Kenny snapped.

            Elizabeth backed up, as two of Duncan's friends walked towards her. "Time for payback!" One snapped.

            They jumped towards her, and she ducked, rushing between them. They landed on the ground, and looked at her. "Leave me alone!" She yelled.

            Elizabeth shook her head, as she felt the drowsiness hit her. She closed her eyes, sending a telepathic message.

*~*~*~*

            Brian danced with Tabitha in the auditorium. He smiled as he grabbed onto her, dancing with her. "You're looking hot, luv!" He smiled at her.

            Tabitha shrugged, "I thought this outfit would get to ya!" She smiled up at him.

            Brian suddenly pulled away from her, and winced, as he heard Elizabeth's voice screaming in his head, "Brian! Come to the lake! Hurry!"

            "Brian? What's wrong?" Tabitha asked with confusion.

            Brian suddenly opened his eyes, "We have to get to the lake! Betsy's in trouble!" He snapped.

            "Guys! Hurry! Let's go!" Tabitha snapped, as she followed Brian out of the cabin.

*~*~*~*

            Elizabeth rushed to Toad, as she saw him knocked onto the ground. She placed her hands on his shoulders, helping him sit up, "You okay?" She asked.

            Toad groaned, and put his hand to the back of his neck, "Man. Getting hit like that hurts, yo!" He groaned.

            Elizabeth looked up, and was grabbed by her hair from behind. "Hey!" She yelled out.

            David grabbed onto her hair, while Duncan and his three other friends grabbed onto her arms and legs. "Take her to the lake!" Duncan snapped.

            Toad jumped on the back of David, and wrapped his arms around his neck tightly, "Let her go!" Toad growled.

            "Ow! Ow! My hair!" Elizabeth growled.

            The attackers stopped, and Duncan punched Toad's face, to get him off of David's back. Toad let go at the impact, and fell to the ground. Elizabeth's mark began to light, as she used her telekinesis to pry the fingers from her. "What's going on?" Kenny gasped, as his fingers were pulled from Elizabeth by the force.

            Suddenly, Elizabeth was dropped onto her back on the mud. "Ow!" She cried out.

            She stood up to her feet, and pointed her hands towards her five attackers. She used her telekinesis to pull them up into the air, "You want to attack mutants?! Here's what you'll have to deal with!" She growled.

            Her mark glowed as she used her telekinesis towards them. She threw her hands towards the courtyard behind her, her attackers following the gestures of her hands. They were thrown onto the ground. Elizabeth let them go, and she clenched her fists at her sides, "I said! Leave us alone!" She hissed.

            "You're really in for it now!" David growled at her.

            Elizabeth rushed to Toad, and helped him up. "You alright?" She asked him.

            "Ahem!" They heard from behind them.

            Elizabeth and Toad looked up, and smiled. Duncan and his friends turned around, seeing figures standing behind them, "Alright! Time for a brawl!" Duncan growled.
