THE NEXT MORNING!!!
Professor Xavier, Mystique and Magneto got out of their sleeping bags. They had had a wild slumber party playing Truth or Dare and I've Never and watching CRAZY movies but now it was time to check on their small children!
"They should be FULLY child-minded by now." Professor Xavier said as he allowed Magneto and Mystique to lift him into his wheelchair.
"I'm actually quite excited." Said Mystique.
"You can't imagine the feelings I'm experiencing right now!" Magneto said as they got into the elevator. They couldn't very well climb the stairs with Professor Xavier in his wheelchair now COULD they?
As soon as they got out of the elevator, they quickly made their ways down the hallway to the room of boys because it was closer. They opened the door only to see four small boys on the floor, one hanging half off the bed as if aware of the current situation of falling and a large mound under the blankets.
"Now that's curious." Said Professor Xavier.
"What's curious?" asked Mystique.
"That is." Professor Xavier said, pointing at the big mound.
"I'm curious too." Said Magneto with a puzzled expression as he tip toed over to the bed and looked down at the five children strewn across the floor. Then he gasped. "WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN?!" he yelled.
This, of course, caused them all to awaken and Jean to run in since she's so responsible.
"What's going on?" said Scott groggily.
"Don't worry, Wanda's in the other room." Jean assured Magneto to stop him from hyperventilating.
"But where is Pietro?!" he yelled at her.
Jean looked at the floor and then at the bed. Slowly, she moved the covers aside ever so slightly to see Pietro's regular, teenage self lying there pretending to be sleeping.
"He's not small anymore!" whined Mystique, Professor Xavier but especially Magneto.
"It's not fair." Sniffled Magneto.
"I'm hungry!" St. John announced as he sprang up from the floor. "Take me downstairs and give me something to eat!"
"Can't you see we're going through a crisis right now?!" Magneto said, sounding irritated.
St. John looked around. "Well…no." he replied.
"Well we are!" Magneto said. "So be quiet so we can work this out! Charles, where can I find Forge?!"
"Uh…downstairs?" suggested Professor Xavier. "My guess is only slightly better than yours is."
Magneto stomped past everyone else and then stomped down the stairs as loudly as he could in search of Forge.
"FORGE!!!" Magneto bellowed as he stormed around the house. Suddenly, Forge was beamed into view. Kind of like in Star Trek when Scotty beams everyone up.
"What is it?" he asked sleepily.
"It's an emergency!" Magneto cried. "Come quick!"
Magneto then dragged Forge into the boys' room where everyone was staring at Pietro except St. John who still hadn't figured out the crisis.
"He's back to normal!"
"So the process reversed itself…" Forge wondered. "And Pietro just turned back faster."
"WHY?!" demanded Magneto.
Everyone in the room stared at Magneto as if he were stupid. "Because Pietro is OH SO fast." Mystique replied.
"That doesn't mean he can just turn back to normal!" Magneto said in a voice that sounded very much like what a whine might sound like.
"Don't worry about it, Magnus." Said Professor Xavier as he led Magneto out of the room to comfort him. "I'm sure Forge will be able to re-reverse the event somehow. In the meantime, how about we all go downstairs and make breakfast while Jean, Rogue and Evan take care of dressing the children?"
"Well…all right." Said Magneto with a sniff. The three of them went down the stairs and into the kitchen. They quickly and swiftly kicked the breakfast eating New Recruits out and locked them in the basement where they had clearly escaped from. The three of them began to make a very loving breakfast that no one would ever be able to finish but it's still fun.
Suddenly, there was a woosh and Pietro was standing behind them dressed like he usually dresses and looking like he usually does.
"Whatchya making?!" he asked.
Magneto had to hold back his tears as he replied. "All kinds of things." He replied. "What would you like?"
"I want…hm…" Pietro said, scratching his chin. "I don't know! Whatever you're having, Dad! I like whatever you like!" Then he ran over to the kitchen table and sat himself down. He paused and stared at the table. "Did I get taller?"
"Pietro, are you feeling all right?" Magneto asked. Professor Xavier wheeled forward and put his hand up to Pietro's head.
"What are you doing?" Pietro asked.
"Just as I thought!" Professor Xavier announced. "While his body has reverted back to it's original state, he's still got the body of a child!"
"That's like killing two birds with one stone!" Magneto said excitedly. "I get the child who loves me without having to raise him all over again!"
"I'm so happy for you, Magnus!" said Mystique as she hugged Magneto.
"I'm confused…" said Pietro as he scratched his head.
"I love you, son!" Magneto said as he lovingly stroked Pietro's head.
"Dad!" Pietro said. "You're messing up my mane!"
Suddenly, everyone else walked in including all of the children, Rogue, Evan and Jean.
"I'm wearing my tie-dye shirt!" St. John announced pointing to his red shirt.
"What's for breakfast?" asked Scott. "I want French toast!"
"I'm hungry!" Kurt said as he teleported onto the counter next to the stove. "Can I help?"
"No Kurt." Said Mystique as she picked Kurt up, caressed him in her bosom and then placed him on the floor. "But what would you like?"
Wanda sat down next to Pietro. And she stared at him. He stared right back at her. "What happened to you?" she asked finally.
"Nothing." Pietro replied. "I went through a growth spurt."
"You grew a lot." Said Remy, sounding disappointed that he wasn't the biggest anymore.
"I'm the biggest now." Pietro declared.
Then they all ate breakfast!! It was very fun. Magneto's spirits were lifted so everyone could have a more fun time since you don't really want to be around Magneto when he's angry. Even if he DID explode in 'Impact'.
"So whatever happened to them is eventually going to wear off?" Evan said in a relieved tone to Jean and Rogue after they had eaten breakfast.
"Thankfully." Jean said with a sigh.
"Well, as long as we don't have to babysit anymore, I don't care if they turn back or stay that way forever." Said Rogue with a sigh. "But, since I know we're going to have to babysit again, I'm glad they're turning back."
"How about some dessert?" asked Lance as he put his glass of orange juice down.
"Yeah." Said Remy. "Remy always have dessert after breakfast."
"Well not today!" said Mystique as she pulled off her pink apron. "It's time for you all to go outside and play!"
"Aw man!" whined all the kids as they were shooed out to play.
"And you three!" said Professor Xavier as he dramatically pointed to Rogue, Jean and Evan who were trying to sneak away. "You must watch them!"
"But Professor!" they all whined but then Professor Xavier got 'that look' and they knew they couldn't disagree any longer if they valued their lives.
"Since I'm the biggest, I'm the boss of us all!" Pietro explained as he stood in front of all the others who were still small.
"YEAH RIGHT!!" Lance said as he balled his hand into a fist.
"How come Remy didn't have a growth spurt?" Remy wondered to himself. "Maybe he'll have one tonight."
"And my first rule is no girls allowed!" Pietro said as he pointed to Wanda and Kitty.
"Hey!" whined Kitty and Wanda since they wanted to be included.
The other boys couldn't help but agree with this rule and they all aided in the warding away of the girls.
"And my second rule is…um…" Pietro said slowly as he pondered. "You all are my slaves!"
"No way!" said Scott. "Don't forget, we're still older than you, even if you DID go through a growth spurt!"
"Yeah!" said St. John. It's not like his 'YEAH!' really meant anything since he was only saying it to make it sound like he was included. Since he was after all. He wasn't some stinky girl who wasn't allowed to be in their club.
That's when Evan, Jean and Rogue came outside under much protest.
"All right, what can we do?" Jean said to the others.
"How about Hide-n-Seek?" Evan suggested.
"NO!!" yelled Jean and Rogue. Evan looked slightly alarmed and mildly offended so he decided that he wouldn't be giving his input from now on.
"You three wanna join our club?" asked Pietro. "Except for you two because you're girls. And not you, Daniels, because I just don't like you."
"Um…sure." Said Rogue, rolling her eyes.
"Well, we'll just supervise." Said Jean.
"HEY!" said Evan because he was truly offended. He then withdrew a spike from his body threateningly but dropped it because even though Pietro LOOKED normal, he wasn't in his right mind so Evan couldn't go around picking on him.
"Remy's da oldest." Said Remy. "He should be the leader."
"Well I'm the tallest and I weigh the most!" Pietro said as he easily picked Remy up. "And I can pick you up! So there!"
"Dat's not fair…" Remy whined as Pietro dropped him on his arse.
"Our clubhouse can be on the roof!" St. John said suddenly. "Kurt and I were there last night and it was SO cool!"
"Yeah!" said Kurt. "We should go there right now!"
"But not down the chimney." Said St. John. "That just didn't work last time."
"Yeah!" said Kurt. "Why'd we go down the chimney anyway?"
"It was YOUR idea!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!" said St. John. "I know for a FACT that it was your idea!"
"I forbid any of you to go on the roof!" said Jean.
"Well, because we're forbidden, we want to go on the roof even more." Said St. John. Everyone couldn't help but agree so they practically ambushed Kurt to teleport them all to the roof. And he did!!
"I can't believe they went up there just because I said they couldn't!" Jean said angrily. Of course, she could fly so she flew up on the roof where everyone was cheering about their recent defeat over Jean.
"You all get down there right now!" she commanded as she used her telekinesis to make them all fly down to the ground. "If anyone does that again then you'll get in big trouble!"
"What's gonna happen to us?" said Lance, crossing his arms.
"You'll…uh…go on time out!" Jean said.
"They're just bored!" said Evan. "We have to do something to entertain them!"
"Yeah Daniels!" said Pietro. "Take me out to ice cream! NOW!"
Evan barely restrained himself from once again attacking Pietro. "Why does it have to be HIM?!" he demanded. "Why is HE the large one?! He's just like regular Pietro…only retarded."
"Well, ice cream seems like a good idea." Said Jean. "Let's go ask the Professor for money."
"Hey, where's Wanda and Kitty?" Rogue said suddenly, looking around.
"Oh no!" Jean gasped. "Wanda's one of the ones I'm looking after!"
Then Professor Xavier's voice rang in their ears. "Oh don't worry!" he chuckled. "We've had them the whole time! Magnus is telling them silly fairy tales!…" He paused. "Yes they are, Magnus! I don't recall you ever saving the world! …No you didn't!"
"Uh…Professor?" Jean said impatiently.
"Sure sure, go get ice cream!" Professor Xavier said. "I've been reading your minds this whole time and I know what you want. I'll pay you back at some future date that shan't be named. And Magnus wanted me to remind you to watch Pietro with a close eye! …Yes, I just told them Magnus, don't worry. I would never forget! Oh and…what's that? Mystique says to watch after Kurt and reminds you, Rogue, to be careful."
And that ended their little 'conversation'.
"Well, let's go!" said Jean as they all ran to the garage area. "Everyone take your groups from before and we'll all go in different cars!" Then she threw Scott and Pietro in the backseat of one of the cars and sped off before anyone could question her.
"Okay…" said Rogue as she grabbed Remy and Lance and jumped into the Scott Mobile and drove off, leaving Evan, St. John and Kurt in her dust.
"Well?" said St. John. "Let's go. I want ice cream."
"Why are we just standing here stupidly?" complained Kurt.
"Uh…I don't drive." Evan confessed.
"WHAT?!" screamed Kurt and St. John.
"I'm just waiting for them to realize that and come back to get us." Evan explained.
"But what if they don't realize it?!" Kurt asked dramatically.
Evan looked around at the garage and spotted his bike in the corner. "Uh, I suppose I could hook a little seat in the back and a little basket in the front and we could…"
"That can't be safe!" Kurt said.
"Or…you could just teleport us there." Evan suggested.
"I don't know where it is." Kurt said, crossing his arms.
"I could BURN our way there!" said St. John. "All I need is a lighter. Go get it, Evan. We'll wait for you right here."
"Just stop talking." Said Evan as he started hooking up a little seat on the back of his bike. "Kurt, you have to sit on the handlebars."
"Why do I have to?!" Kurt yelled.
"Because you're smaller and extremely limber." Evan answered.
"Hey!" said St. John. "I'M limber too!"
"Yeah but Kurt's like…an acrobat." Evan said.
"I'm an acrobat too." Said St. John.
"What, YOU want to sit on the handlebars?" Evan asked.
"It's better than back here!" St. John said, pointing at the seat in the back. "If I sat on the handlebars, I'd have a much better view!"
