That evening
Unfortunately it was time for that annual monstrosity that is the carol singing trip. It's the same every year: we fight over who is not going to have to be in the group with Kat and Scott and I try and find imaginative and interesting ways to get out of doing any singing, this year I believed I had hit upon a great master plan.
Kurt came to tell us that Scott wanted everyone assembled before we left seeing as no one had taken his briefing session seriously.
Kurt began to walk out of the door with an arm wrapped around Mel's waist, before stopping and looking at the Christmas tree "You know your tree looks an awful lot like the centre piece in the mall!"
Bounce quickly bundled the blue mutant and his girlfriend through the door.
Mutant Assembly in the hall.
"Right we shall split into groups so we can cover a larger area" Scott informed us "So who wants to go with me?"
We all looked at each other, it was notorious how badly he sang, there was only one person who could have an equal claim to being off key, off tune and generally atrocious.
"Kat wants to!" Bounce said shoving Kats hand in the air
"Well actually I was thinking…." Kat began looking at me
"No! Kat will go with Scott; they could be a little twosome." I smiled thanks at Bounce
Kurt and Mel clung to each other and we were under no doubts that them two would be going together.
It was now time to kick my most excellent plan into action. "I'll go with Wolverine!"
Everyone looked at me astonished "You will!"
"Sure I will, it is the season of goodwill and all that!"
I, like Scotts singing, am notorious, but for different reasons, namely my scathing comments to and about Wolverine.
Wolverine looked at me suspiciously.
Once everyone was allocated groups Scott finished up by reminding us that the people who raised enough money for the mutant orphanage would be rewarded.
'Let the games begin' I thought evilly rubbing my hands together.
On the streets
We had now established a familiar pattern, it involved swig of alcohol, knock on door, "Hello" from home owner, Snickt "Here take all our money, but please don't hurt us!", and then on to the next house in the street where the process was repeated all over again.
Quickly me and Wolverine had taken over $300 which we were safe in the knowledge that no one else would be able to compete with and so we made our way to the areas where the others where doing there good deeds.
When we got to the street where Mel and Kurt where singing we stopped and watched as they sang to a little boy, who said something that Mel had found very amusing.
"What did he say?" I asked Wolverine
"He said 'look Mum at Christmas even Angels and the devil put aside their differences and sing together!'"
"Yuck!" Goody, goody Mel was always being compared to an angel
"Tell me about it!" Wolverine growled in agreement
We began to walk then lugging our cash with us; we walked in an uncomfortable silence.
I looked at the perfect little houses, with their white picket fences and wished just for a moment that I had what was shared within those four walls of a family home. I thought not for the first time that day, nor the 50th, about my mum and I wondered what she was doing. I felt Mordekai inside my head trying to soothe me, I frowned and told him that I was fine and didn't need any comfort. I heard Mordekai 'Humph' in my head before once again he disappeared to allow me to live my life. I immediately apologised to him, which he accepted gracefully.
"What ya thinkin' bout kid?" He said looking at the frown crease my head
"Nothing we're just having an argument!" I said angrily
"No we're not we ain't even speakin', hardly"
"Not me and you…oh never mind"
As we walked past a street, decorated brightly with colourful fairy lights and Christmassy garden ornaments.
Suddenly Wolverine clenched his hands over his ears and began to run, I followed him closely. So that was where Scott and Kat were then!
Did I ever tell you that it looks like Kats got the most votes to be entered into the Big Brotherhood Mansion?
Anyway like the story? Hate it? Please do tell!
