Part 3
Scott and Jean returned from their outdoor activites. Their activities consisted of a four-mile run, a two-mile walk, and a fifteen-mile bike ride. Now starving for some health food, they entered the house and proceeded to walk leisurely to the kitchen. However their leisurely walk soon turned into a sprint as they heard the fight going on in the kitchen. Scott and Jean entered the kitchen in record time and nearly tripped over Bobby. Jubilee had pinned him to the floor and he was screaming for mercy. Scott's eyes traveled over to Hank, Remy, Orroro, Rogue, and Logan. He stood there in a pure state of shock before speaking. "What is going on in here? STOP! STOP RIGHT NOW!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Mr. Fearless leader. "I SAID, WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?" No one could answer that question, they really didn't know. All Remy, Rogue, Hank, and Bobby knew was that Storm and Logan had been arguing, they tired to break it up, and ended up in the mix. Jubilee had no earthly idea what had happened. She had simply walked in to the kitchen without saying a word and was dragged into it. Logan and Orroro just looked at each other and then started laughing. The rest of the bunch joined in except for Scott and Jean, who were slightly confused. The laughing ended and quietness took over the room. Each member of the fight reflected back on today's events. This had truly been a day from hell and it wasn't over yet. Jean decided to break the silence by announcing that her and Scott were going to make a run to the grocery store. With that announcement the silence was broken, as each member took turns, adding what he or she wanted to the rapidly growing grocery list. They politely thanked Jean and told her she was an angel for doing this for them. Jean blushed at their comments and walked out of the kitchen hand in hand with Scott.
The minutes seemed to go by more and more slowly, as the remainder of the team awaited the arrival of Scott and Jean with their goodies. Hank paced the floor, Bobby and Jubes watched TV, Rogue tired to read a romance novel, Storm went outside to get away from everyone else fearing another episode may occur, Logan ran thru a Danger Room session to release some tension, and Remy, who ran out of pencils to chew, switched to chewing gum. He had stuffed so much in his mouth he looked like a chipmunk.
It was sugar-less chewing gum, the only kind of gum he could find in the entire mansion. He had found it in Scott and Jean's room, along with other items, such as eatable panties and fuzzy red handcuffs. A huge orange Trident filled smiled spread across his lips as he made a mental note to purchase such items for a certain southern belle.
An hour and a half agonizingly passed by. Logan emerged from the elevator just in time to hear Storm announce that Scott and Jean were back. The waiting X-men ran to the kitchen, like a stampeding herd of elephants. Scott and Jean sauntered in and greeted everyone with a smile. "Did you get it? Did you get it?" an anxious Hank asked. Jean's smile widen as she informed everyone that they had some good stuff for them. Scott wasted no time in handing out the goodies to everyone. Remy, Rogue, Hank, Bobby, Jubilee, Orroro, and Logan stared quizzically at their goodies. It was apparent that the Summers were truly illiterate. None of them had received the items that they had written down on the list. Hank was given dried fruit and a bag of mixed seeds instead of his Twinkies. Jubilee received a box of regular flavored oatmeal instead of Boo Berry cereal. Bobby received fresh fruit, instead of various types of junk he had written down. Orroro was given another can of decaf coffee. Logan received a six-pack of non-alcohol light beer. Rogue was given a box of non-fat sugarless chocolate ice cream. Remy received a box of nicorette gum, not the cigarettes he had requested. Scott and Jean looked at their teammates, still smiling. They just knew that they would love their surprises. Judging by the looks on their faces, the Summers were in for a big round of hugs and thank yous. The quizzical looks faded from the mutants faces, replaced by those of rage. They now knew whom it was that had done such an evil thing. Storm fried another can of decaf coffee. Rogue flung another box of nasty ice cream. Remy charged the pack of nicorette gum and tossed it at Scott and Jean. Hank's eyes bugged from his head every time he looked at what was supposed to be decent snack food, Dr. Jeckel meet Mr. Hyde. Bobby and Jubes just glared at the idiot couple. Logan unleashed both sets of claws. Murder was clearly written across their faces. Scott and Jean's smiles faded and they started to back away. This was going to hurt.
Charles Xavier arrived home from his all day meeting. Trying to prove to humans that not all mutants were dangerous was a hard task and far from finished. He entered the mansion, sensing the fear and the anger as soon as he made it thru the door. This was not the atmosphere that he was accustomed to. Searching for the root of the problem, he entered the kitchen. He gasped when he saw the sight. An angry mob had circled Scott and Jean ready to pounce on them. Charles cleared his throat, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. "What is going on here?" Xavier asked. The members of the angry mob took turns telling their stories to the Professor. After they were done, Charles just shook his head. Scott and Jean knew that the Professor would see thing their way. He looked at his students, "You should be ashamed of yourselves". Scott and Jean nodded their head, "You tell them Professor". He was on their side and now Xavier would help them make sure that everyone took better care of their selves. Xavier held up a hand to silence Scott and Jean. "Ashamed I tell you! This is horrible. How could you do such a thing to your friends?" The Summers nodded again to show they agreed with Xavier. Charles looked at the angry mob, an evil smile upon his lips, "Get them!" The angry mob followed his orders and pounced upon Scott and Jean.
The End!
