Chapter 2 - Take out and check in.

Xavier gave a blissfull sigh, the van was silent once more. After much bikering and seat swapping, Sabertooth and Logan had been put on oposite ends of the van. Ororo and Raven had started pushing and shoving each other and also had to be seperated. Angel had gotten quite bored and had started pulling on Forge's clam shell necklace and poinging it back, resulting in him almost getting a drill bit hammered into his left eye socket. In fact, the only people being reasonably 'good' were Hank, who was reading, and Jason, who's eyes were glowing, Magneto saying he'd probably gone to his 'happy place'. Xavier glanced up as a 'Smiley Meal' resteraunt sign popped into view.

"Who's hungry?", he asked, in a tone that one would use with five year olds on a field trip.

"Oh i am, Professor!", said Hank, putting his hand up and waving.

"Teachers Pet", muttered Mystique.

"Am not!"

"Are so!"

"HEY!", shouted Magneto, "if you don't stop fighting, then i'm going to drive right past it! Am i clear?".

The van fell silent.

"Good", said Magneto, driving up the slip-way to the drive-thru order box, which was shaped like a smiling dinosaur.

"Welcome to Smiley Meal", came the voice of what sounded like a teenager from the other end, "can i please take your order".

Magneto turned around to face everyone, and was bombarded with orders. Jason jerked out of wherever his mind had been and blinked.

"Yelling?", he said, disoriantated, "oh i thought i was on a van headed to....oh poo, still here".

Magneto winced as his brain tried to process all the orders and he gave them to the teen.

"Wow...that's a large order", said the teen, "with such an order, you get a free Super Duper Smiley Meal, with a Super Duper Smiley Toy".

"Err.....okay", said Magneto, blinking.

Warren cleared his throat.

"As the youngest adult here....I GET DIBS ON THE SUPER DUPER SMILEY TOY!".

"Awwwwww", said Logan picking at the seat in front of him, "i wanted the toy".

"Please go to the pick-up area for your food", said the teen, "have a nice day!".

"Yeah, i know you will", muttered Magneto under his breath, "all the damn money spent on feeding these people".

"Money is no object, remember Magnus?", said Xavier with a grin, "enjoy yourself".

Magneto muttered under his breath and drove up to the pick-up window and waited...and waited.

"WHERE'S MY GOD DAMN MEAL?!!!", he finally shouted at the window.

A rather pimply teenager poped his head out of the window.

"Your order will be done in a few seconds", he said, "sorry for the inconvinience".

With that, the teen slammed the window closed, leaving Magneto staring at it in shock. Sabertooth raised a clawed hand.

"Can i go bust him open, sir?", he asked.

"No, Victor", said Mganeto, massaging his temples, "we agreed on no killing, remember?".

"Oh...yeah", said Sabertooth with a sigh, then looked up hopefully, "how about mauling?".

"No, Victor, no mauling either", said Magneto, drumming his fingers impatiently on the steering wheel, "come on, come on, COME ON!!!!".

Suddenly, the teen re-appeared passing through the meals into the van.

"Have a nice day!", he said happily.

"Have a nice lonely prom-night", said Magneto snidely, driving off.

Within seconds, the bus was once again squabbling over the food.

"Maybe we should have taken the teenagers instead?", said Xavier, ducking as a french fry flew at his head.

A few hours later and everyone had calmed...of course they had, they were full! Warren was quietly looking at a small monkey, who's eyes lit up and banged some cymbals together. Every now and again, Logan would steal a longing glance at it.

"Hey, we made it!", said Jason, sitting upright and pointing at the hotel in the horizon.

"Yeaaaaahhh!", said Sabertooth, "no more van, nice warm bed, bar!".

"Fer once, i wholeheartedly agree with you", said Logan, "bring on the booze!".

Magneto sighed as he parked the van up in the car park and got out, stretching.

"Someone else is driving back", he stated, "i don't care who, but it's NOT going to be me".

"Understood", said Xavier, "lets check in, shall we?".

"This better not be a 'you don't check out' kinda place", said Loagn, crossing his arms.

Storm sighed frustratedly as she watched the fish swim around their little tank. They were so relaxing, and after a loooooong van ride with those idiots she needed to get herself back to her serene state before she caused a freak tornado to rip through the hotel, slaughtering everyone within a....she blinked, boy, did she need to relax. No such luck.

"Cooooool fish!", said Sabertooth, tapping the glass with a clawed finger, making the fish swim off into hiding in a panic.

Elsewhere in the lobby, the other...ahem..adults were attempting to keep themselves from being bored. Forge had absent-mindedly goten hold of Warren's Super Duper Smiley Toy and had taken it apart, re-making it into a pocket torch with built in bottle-opener without even looking at it. Warren was being followed by the hotel manager, who was offering him every comodity under the sun, they didn't regulary have people of his class there, they wanted to make him feel comfy....and spend all of his money. Hank had not looked up from his book, which was a good thing, considering the stares he was getting from the hotel's visitors, as were Mystique and Jason.Xavier wheeled over and cleared his throat, making everyone turn to look at him.

"We have a slight....dilema", he said.

"What?", asked Mystique, her voice turning hopefull, "we can go home?".

"No", said Xavier, "There are only three normal double rooms left....which means one pair will have to use the..ahem..honeymoon suite".

All the adults looked at each other.

"NO!".

"I know!", said Magneto, striding over, "we'll draw straws".

"I like that idea", said Warren, running off to the resteruant and coming back with his hand full of straws, "hey, someone even cut them for me, they're so helpfull here!".

He clicked his fingers and a Bell-Boy ran over to him.

"Yes Mr Worthington?", he asked gviing a small bow.

"Hold these", said Warren, handing him the straws.

The Bell-Boy blinked at this bizare request, but he had been told not to argue with this client so he nodded his head and did as he was told. Everyone closed his or her eyes and dove in, each grabbing a straw.

"Aww, crud!", said Logan, looking at his tiny straw.

"Double crud", said Sabertooth, looking at his own little straw, "i want a recount!!!".

"Nope, the straws have chosen!", said Magneto, "sorry...this should be...interesting".

"Hope someone packed the bandages", said Mystique.

************

After a little more bickering, the rest of the rooms were eventually sorted out, Sabertooth and Logan had been pushed itno their honeymoon suite and had been told to duke it out over themslves. Mystique and Storm, being the only two ladies, had taken a room, as had Hank and Jason, Magneto and Xavier, and Forge and Angel. Luckily, all the rooms were either next to or across the hall from each other, Xavier had requested it that way, just in case. He had opted not to mention that if he had chosen the rooms to be apart, Logan and Sabertooth wouldn't of had to share a honeymoon suite...he wanted to keep his remaining limbs in order.

"Ok everyone", he said, "tonight is just to get settled in, have a stroll around, do what you like....".

Hank raised a hand.

"Except leave", added Xavier.
