A/N:  Thanks for the reviews. I'm messing with the characters' powers and personalities just for the sake of the genre. I tried to make this chapter funny, but I think that 'crazy' is the most appropriate adjective to describe it…If you don't like 'crazy' then you shouldn't be reading this.

Chapter 8 – Twister and Beethoven

Kurt and Kitty snuck into the living room with the pies in their hands. Ray and Jubilee had already started playing Twister with Rogue, who was sitting on the sofa, as the spinner.

Ray and Jubilee were on the floor on the Twister mat in the most awkward positions…Ray looked like he was about to fall at any moment.

"Left foot green," Rogue ordered after she spun the spinner.

"Oh no. That's impossible." Jubilee cringed.

Kurt and Kitty bent down to Ray and Jubilee and slid the pies on the Twister mat underneath their lifted bodies.

"Reach for it, girl!" Kitty cheered Jubilee on as she stood up and stifled laughter.

"Go Ray! You can do it, bro." Kurt followed Kitty's example.

Ray and Jubilee failed to complete Rogue's command…they landed in the pies… "What the--" Ray jumped up as he felt the pie slush into his rear.

Jubilee screamed, "My designer outfit is ruined! Oh you little monsters are like, so dead!" She was about to shoot out a beam at Kurt, but then…

BAMF! Kurt 'ported Kitty to the kitchen. "Get the chocolate sauce!" He told her as he grabbed the spray can of whipped cream. BAMF! They left the kitchen…

Hank walked into the kitchen just when Xavier woke up. "Charles? What's all the noise?" The blue mutant asked with a confused expression.

Charles glanced at Hank and looked just as confused as he. "I don't know. My wheelchair seems to be broken. Could you fix it, Hank?" Xavier asked kindly.

"Alright…" Hank started to repair the damage on the wheelchair.

~*~*~*~

In the living room…

Whipped cream was being sprayed everywhere, Kitty squeezed chocolate sauce in Ray's hair (Hey! His hair actually looks better WITH the sauce!), and Rogue and Jubilee ran out of the room in panic…

Jamie and Rahne wanted to join in the fun so they grabbed some silly string from their rooms and boldly ran into the living room—Rahne got in her half-wolf form; within a second, her fur was totally ruined.

Kurt was 'porting around like crazy and leaving smoke everywhere while he chased Ray and Jamie around with the whipped cream. Ray and Jamie sprayed him back with their silly string (or at least they tried to…he was a difficult target) and threw strawberries around.

Kitty let the cream and strawberries phase through her (she was a difficult target as well) and she squirted her chocolate sauce everywhere.

Jamie kept multiplying as he got hit…silly string and whipped cream was being sprayed in every direction…strawberries were flying…it was chaotic.

~*~*~*~

Enraged, Wolverine busted down the door to the bar. Sabertooth was not in the room—he was in the bathroom puking after Mesmero kissed him…Mesmero was sitting on his stool with a maniac grin as he clutched his wine bottle protectively.

Wolverine rushed at him and kicked him off the stool. "You! What the hell do ya think you're doing, bub?"

The drunken Mesmero hacked and sat up on the floor while he stared Logan in the eye. "You shouldn't have done that…BUB."

Suddenly Logan froze. His pupils vanished…

~*~*~*~

Hank wheeled Charles into the living room. Immediately everyone stopped the food-fight.

Charles sighed, "Can someone explain what is going on here?"

Kurt and Kitty approached the Professor. "Prof, you were being manipulated by Mesmero," Kitty explained. "The others are hunting him down now before he can take advantage of you again…"

Xavier's jaw dropped. "Hank, we need to go help them. Only I can stop him."

"Can we come, too?" Kitty asked; not wanting to be part of the cleaning committee…

Xavier nodded. "Hank baby-sit the kids. Kurt will fly us there in the Velocity." |1|

Hank looked worried as he replied, "Hopefully the others have found him by now…as for the rest of you," he turned to face the dirty children, "start cleaning up this mess, now."

A whole bunch of moans and whines were heard from the children after that.

~*~*~*~

Storm, Cyclops, and Jean arrived at the bar. Cyclops was the first one to enter the door. He shrieked at what he saw…

Jean and Storm followed behind and they shrieked as well.

Logan was in a pastel pink ballet skirt dancing to Beethoven (the music was playing on maximum volume from a radio somewhere) while Sabertooth and Mesmero waved pink ribbons around like little girls…Mesmero had to be under the influence of some STRONG liquor to be in this state…

'Jean, I'm on my way. Are you all alright?' Xavier contacted the other telepath.

'Yes, Professor. I think we're actually enjoying ourselves on this end,' Jean replied with a chuckle.

Cyclops was on the floor in tears, cackling like a hyena (déjà vu?), Ororo grabbed a camera from the Jet and started to take pictures and Jean started cracking up.

~*~*~*~

Kurt, Kitty (in uniform) and the Professor quickly arrived at the bar in the helicopter. When they walked in the building, Storm had a whole roll of film full from all the pictures she'd taken, Cyclops was lying on the floor next to Jean; they stared up at the ceiling with ridiculous grins on their faces…The most ridiculous sight of all: Wolverine and Sabertooth dancing together in ballet skirts as Mesmero sang the notes to Beethoven.

Storm looked at Xavier with a raised eyebrow. "That drunkard has been controlling you."

Xavier nodded with a tired look, "Pitiful. Here's what we're going to do. Storm, get Mesmero to release his hypnotic hold on Wolverine then I'll erase their minds and we can all go home."

Immediately, Storm shot a lightning bolt at Mesmero, it shocked him; then Logan's pupils returned to normal. When Logan realized that he was holding Sabertooth…he punched him directly in the face which sent Sabertooth falling backwards. Then he sliced the ballet skirt off him and fumed, "No way! This freak hypnotized me?! Aaargh!!"

Xavier wasted no time in erasing Mesmero's and Sabertooth's minds, while Storm helped Scott and Jean up.

Then Kurt, Kitty and Logan went into the X-Jet. (Kurt and Kitty were relieved that they got away with their little food-fight…Logan was pissed…what else isn't new..?)

Mesmero and Sabertooth were left unconscious on the floor as Storm, Scott, Jean and Xavier went into the Velocity. The X-Men left for home in a hurry.

TBC…

|1| - I think that's the name of their cheesy helicopter or something. (I wouldn't know. I'm as X-Men illiterate as they come.)

A/N:  Sorry. This chapter was messed up. (It's almost as if a six-year-old on crack wrote it…) ((I just had to get rid of Mesmero. So he's gone forever, thankfully.)) I'll get back to the Kurtty romance and there'll be more pranks coming up really soon. =)
