Chapter 5 - Class is in session

The next morning, after a rather dangerous time at breakfast where insults and conintental rolls were thrown, everyone found themselves in a small confrence room. Besides the ever so nicely dubbed 'mutant group', there were a few other people, none of which looked happy to be there, except of course, the instuctor, who smiled happily.
"Hellloooo there happy teachers!", she said, in a way too cheerful voice for that time in the morning, "i am Miss Gelder, and i will be teaching you the ways to nurture your young charges and become their FRIEND".
"Gelder..Gelder", muttered Xavier, "why does that name seem so familiar?".
"Now, as a Camp Counsilor, i learned that befriending a youngster is a great way to let them build up foundation of trust", said Gelder.
"Why isn't she counsiling now?", asked Jason.
Overhearing this, Gelder cleared her throat.
"I had to leave because we had a few...issues with some campers", she said, "the doctor said i can come off the medication any day now".
"Charles....i'm scared", said Magneto.
"We all are", said Xavier, "maybe this wasn't the..best of my ideas".
******
A few minutes later, and the adults were staring at their project for the day. Each held a single egg in his or her hand.
"We have found that good parents also make good teachers", said Gelder, still smiling, "thus to test you parenting skills, you will be required to look after a egg for the day. Your egg is your child, and thus you must take care of it as one".
"Okay, i did this in high school", said Hank, "can i sit it out?".
"No. Now we have stationed several places in the hotel in which you are to take your 'child'", she said, "once you have been to a place, and spent the right amount of time there, doing what the sheet tells you to, you may move on. We have people at each place, just so you don't cheat".
"Lucky us", said Magneto, "wait, i'm already a parent, can i leave?".
"Me too me too!", said Mystique, waving her hand in the air.
"And me", said Sabertooth.
"Does looking after my nephew count?", from Storm.
"No, you must all do the egg-baby project", said Gelder, "you can stay in groups if you like. Meet back here in eight hours, hopefully with your egg in tact".
With that, she vanished, leaving the adults looking more than slightly perplexed. Jason sighed and looked down at the sheet they had been given.
"Okay, lets get this over with", he said, "oh look, a petting zoo".
***
After getting lost more than a few times, and Logan nearly dropping his egg on more than one occasion, the group finally made it to a tiny little petting zoo put up in one of the lecture rooms. One of the hotel staff watched from the door like a P.O.W guard, once they were in, there was no way out. Logan glanced at his paper.
"Bond with your 'child' by showing him/her the animals and talking about them", he paused, blinking, "i am NOT talkin' to an egg!".
"Play fair, Logan", said Xavier, "the sooner we get this over and done with, the sooner we can leave.
Sabertoooth had wandered off amongst the small, furry creatures, carrying his egg in his huge clawed hand. He paused at the hamsters, staring at them, tranfixed.
"Look at 'em", he said in a far-away voice, "runnin on their little wheels, scurryin' around, their little whiskers twitching".
He gave an odd meowing sound and batted the glass of their tank.
"I really hope that's strong glass", commented Magneto as he watched the assasin trying to pry his way in to get at the little rodents, who didn't seem bothered by him, at all.
"I'm gonna call you....Cookie!".
Both Magneto and Xavier paused to look at Warren, who was tickling his egg and talking to it as you would a baby.
"Yes, Cookie!", he said, "aww you're so cute. Yes you are!".
"I told you that porn would warp his mind", said Magneto.
"Okay", said Xavier, "i owe you a coke".
Mystique, Ororo and Jason had wandered off, eggs in hand, to a small penned area where baby rabbits hopped around, nibbling on some grass that had been dropped in.
"Awwwwww", said Ororo, "Look at the bunnies!. Come here, Forge, come see the bunnies!".
"I...think i'll wait...right here", said Forge with a nervous laugh, not moving from the door.
The three looked at him, then at the rabbits, then back at Forge again.
"Wait....are you afraid..of little bunny rabbits?", said Jason, arching an eyebrow.
"I'm not afraid of them!", defended Forge, "they just...wig me out..okay?".
"LITTLE BUNNIES?!", said Mystique, "but they're harmless!".
"No they're not!", said Forge, "when i was three, one of those things tried to eat my hair!".
"Twenty years of solitude doesn't phase him, but one little bunny rabbit nibbles on his hair and he's scarred for life", said Jason dryly.
"I like my hair, okay?", said Forge, "i have nice hair".
There was suddenly a loud crash and everyone turned to see Logan sheepishly standing amongst a load of wreaked boxes.
"Sorry", he said, "thought i saw a rat....i didn't break the egg".
He held up his unharmed egg as proof.
"Lets...move on shall we?", said Hank.
*****
The group had walked throughout the whole of the hotel, going to various areas, including a bouncy castle, which Sabertooth had popped with his claws and a sandpit, in which Mystique lost her egg and spent a few hours making everyone look frantically for it. They had eventually come to an outside park. Warren was pushing 'Cookie' on a swing, while Logan, lightening up a bit, was sliding down the slide, his egg sat on his knee. Magneto had put his egg on the merry-go-round and was using his powers to spin it around gently, telling a very bored Xavier how he used to do it with the twins. Hank had started swinging on the monkey bars, until his egg slipped though his..err..feet. Hank gave a yelp, leaping off the monkey bars and catching the egg before it could break, sure he fell in a crumpled heap on the floor, but the egg was safe. Jason, Ororo, Forge, Sabertooth and Mystique had decided that they'd had enough action and were watching quietly.
"So, is it just rabbits?, or is it hares too?", asked Sabertooth, "bet Watership Down was like watchin' the Shining or something".
"Can we change the subject, please?!", asked Forge.
"Sure thing", said Mystique, begining to hum 'Bright Eyes'.
"A pox on you, woman!", said Forge pointing at Mystique, almost dropping his egg, "okay, i wont do THAT again".
"I don't think these eggs are real", stated Jason, "with all the batterings we've given them they would have broken by now. Watch this! I bet you it'll bounce!".
He pomptly threw his egg on the floor. The egg didn't bounce.
"Oh", said Jason, looking at the sticky mess on the floor.
"I'm so very glad you're not a father", said Mystique, "oooohh, you're in trouble nooooow!".
"No, i'm not", said Jason, holding out his hand and creating an illusion of the egg, "hah, that Gelder won't know the difference".
"But YOU will", said Ororo, "can you live with that on your conscience?".
Jason stared blankly at her.
"Conscience?".
"Hello, Beautifull Windrider".
Ororo paused in her berating of Jason to glance up as Clint strolled over.
"Hello Clint", she said, grinning like a Cheshire Cat, then blinked, "oh these are my....errr Friends. This is Raven, Forge, Jason and Victor, Erik and Charles are the ones by the merry-go-round, and that's Logan, Hank and Warren".
Clint gave everyone a grin.
"Pleased to meet you", he said.
"Everyone, this is Clint", said Ororo, proudly.
There was a mixed intrest of hello's, before Clint smiled, capping his hands together.
"I know", he said, "we can all go out tonight, get to know each other. I know a very fun place, not far from the hotel. You look like you all need to unwind".
"They don't check the rooms while we're gone do they?", asked Warren, "y'see, i can't let them switch off the TV".
Clint stared at him for a second, unblinking.
"No...they don't do that here".
"Good", said Warren, "then i'm in".
"Good", said Clint, "i'll see you all later".
He smiled giving Ororo a kiss on her hand before walking off. Ororo smiled dreamily as she watched him go, before glancing at a smirking Mystique.
"You were right, he IS hot", said Mystique, "you lucky dog you".
"Yes...i can't stop smiling", said Ororo, "i'm so glad you all like him".
****
"I don't like him".
"Why? He seems okay", Warren said, rolling his eyes at his roomate, "hey, do you think the TV looks better this way?".
"Warren, if you want to put the TV next to your bed, just put it there", said Forge crossing his arms, "yeah, but don't you think he's a little TOO okay?".
"No", said Warren, waving him off, "now shhh or leave, i'm watching the porn".
Forge muttered something in Cheyenne at Warren before leaving the room, right into a guy dressed in a bunny costume.
"Aghhhhh!".
The inventor turned on his heels and RAN. The guy in the costume watched this for a second before shaking his head.
"Wierdos".
*******
Okay, for those who haven't read Sugar and Spice, Gelder was one of the counsilors in it, hence why her name sounded familiar to Chuck. She's not that important, just thought it would be fun if a recognised character popped up randomly. Where are the group going for some fun? Wait and see! Ia alchohol involved? Isn't it always? Do review. Until next time...
