Ok it's the last Chapter and its effectively fuzz (not fluff – fuzz). I know, I know do I ever learn?
That evening
We sat alone by the fire, it would have been a heart warming sight had the fire not been once our lovely table, and we could only hope and prey that one day Mel's hair would grow back. Only me and Jubilee were still up, Kurt was lovingly applying burn balm to Mel's head up in their bedroom, Kat and Bobby were….who knows where, Bounce and Richard were in bed (separately not in bed together, jeez get that mind out of the gutter!) and Tristan had gone back with Magneto under the allusion this act of generosity would make Wanda agree to go on a date with him.
It is therefore needless to say to all you long term Retribution X readers that we were very, very drunk, and you will also know what its like when ever members of Retribution X are drunk, its insanity. That is why I was puzzled as I looked into the fire because me and Jubilee, although not speaking coherently were not laying cling film traps for Wolverine or being beastly to the Brady Bunch.
Jubilee giggled as she threw a peanut into the air and attempted to catch in her mouth, emphasis on attempted.
"Deck the hills with boughs of colic…." I sang before stopping and thinking for a moment "That's not right…" I mumbled
"What I think you were trying to sing was…" Jubilee said finger held aloft before clearing her throat and launching into song "The hills are alive with the sound of mucus…." She paused for a second too before shaking her head "I don't know what you meant" She conceded sadly
"Sooooooooooooo….." I stopped to gasp for air "Where's Marshall the mutant?" I asked referring to her boyfriend
"In the history books…I mean who honestly really buys their girlfriend a plastic ring and a box of cookies for Christmas!"
I shook my head in disgust, men they really didn't have a clue
"Isn't about time you got yourself a man?" Jubilee asked
I shook my head "I'm happy just me and me brain!" Mordekai shook his head in disbelief (after all he was privy to all my innermost thoughts whether I liked it or not).
"Come on there must be someone you wouldn't mind tipping your beer at?" The girl was annoyingly persistent
"She fancies Wolverine!" Came my own little voice sing songed yet I hadn't made my mouth say that.
I grabbed the saucepan laid by the side of the sofa (where Kat and Bobby had left it) and hit myself over the head with it. "Stay in my head where you belong, stupid bloody men…OW!" I rubbed the bump that was forming on my head and cursed shaking my fist at the sky.
Jubilee giggled "So seriously who do you fancy?"
I felt all the blood rush to my face against my will.
"OH MY GOD YOU DON'T FANCY….." I clamped my hand over her gob suddenly feeling a hell of a lot more sober
"Shhhhh….keep it down will ya I don't want the whole world to bloody know!" I whispered in her ear menacingly.
I inched my hand away from her face hesitantly but she seemed to be keeping schtum.
"I wouldn't have told you that if I wasn't drunk you know I would have had a lot more control" I grouched
"How long have you er…..?" Jubes couldn't find the words
I shrugged "I dunno, it kinda creeps up on you! One minute your blissfully normal the next thing you a necrophilia!"
"Necrophilia? Wolverine ain't dead!"
"No but he is pretty damn old" I grinned slightly "Please don't say a word to anyone especially him or Kat!" I almost pleaded before remembering I don't plead.
At that moment we heard the door adjoining the main mansion open. Jubilee bounced up from the sofa and ran over to our guest i.e. Wolverine.
"Hi Wolverine, you'd never guess what…" She wittered on brightly
I groaned and buried my head in the pillows
"Ash really isn't feeling very well" My head shot up from the pillow and I narrowed my eyes at Jubilee who was making kissy kissy faces behind Wolverines back.
"I'm not surprised all that alcohol she downed" he snorted in something close to disdain
Jubilees face brightened again "You know the reason she drinks?"
Wolverine shook his head in a way that said he neither knew nor cared
Jubilee carried on obliviously "She drinks to forget…"
Wolverine looked at me sharply "To forget what?" His voice came out quick, a little too quick. I knew what he was thinking, he was thinking I had told her about the stuff with Kevin
I looked at Jubilee, stomach churning unsure what this unpredictable fiend would say next
"…she drinks to forget Kat and her evil antics and her growing dislike for Mel…you know it effects our leader more than we all think!" I cocked an eyebrow, outside of missions I didn't give a damn about Mel and Kats relationship.
"It never looked like it affected her before" Wolverine knew something was going on with Jubes and that she was playing with him "Besides I would drink if I had to live with that little monster!"
I quickly cut in before Jubes could get anymore carried away "Erm was there something you wanted?"
"Oh yeh just came to check none of you were burnt to death and I came to nick er….borrow some beer"
"There isn't any and it was lovely of you to visit, my my is that the time I really must be getting to bed *yawn* I'm so, so tired anyway will see you another time bub bye!" I spoke quickly and began to prod him in the direction of the door before slamming it in his face.
I turned to Jubes ZZZZzzzzzzz
"I'm off to bed now bye!" Jubilee yelled over shoulder as she fled my wrath.
So now we know who Ash shines a light for, but as always with Ash it won't go right for her, after all her name is not Mary Sue! (Xx-Disturbed-xX see you guessed right *applauds Xx-Disturbed-xX*)
