Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story, and I don't
own the movie, which I got the story line from. I'm not taking any credit
in making up any of these characters, don't worry.
For the newest character, I have this really spiffy plot set up, but I don't know if I'll be able to follow through with it, so if I cant, bare with me!

A loud roar stopped the four dead in their tracks. Todd, yelping, dove into a nearby bush, quickly followed by an equally tweaked Kurt. Rogue, determined to prove she wasn't scared of anything in the forest, failed miserably as the gigantic -beast- lunged forward.
Only Piotr stood his ground, unafraid of the huge dark blue monster. Growling, the beast bounded forward, in pursuit of the creatures he could smell.
"What are you doing in my forest???"
"We're trying to get to the Violet Village, to see the Wizard of Schnoz, not that I see why its any of your business," Rogue bit out towards the thing, glaring.
"Its MY business because its MY forest!" As he spoke, Piotr could see the unsureness in the creature's eyes.
"Its no more your forest than it is ours, and if you don't move out of the way, I'll send the fuzzy elf after you!"
"Rawr, I'm vicious if I vant to be!" Kurt didn't appear from the bush, his voice faltering slightly, though not enough that the beast wouldn't take him seriously.
"Okay okay, don't attack me! I'm just used to being walked all over and I figured I'd try a new approach. I wouldn't really hurt you, but if I don't do something soon, even the mice in this forest wont be afraid of me! And look at me, I cant have that!"
Rogue took a step forward, still glaring. "Well we don't have time to deal with this! I need to get back home so my roommates don't turn my room into a weight room or something!"
"Just let me come along then, maybe the wizard can give me the respect I deserve!"
With the scaretoad still hiding behind her, Rogue gave a defeated bow of her head. "Fine, just keep up! What'd you say your name was, anyway?"
"Just call me Beast."
"Beast? Zat's a, erm, nice name. Your parents must be proud."
Scowling slightly, the larger blue mutant shook his head. "I gave the nickname to myself, to try and be more threatening, because nobody ever listens to me!"
"Vat vas zat? I vasn't listening," Kurt looked up at him again, blinking.

The faint glow of twinkling stars was barely seen through the leaves of the tall surrounding trees. Deciding that they'd traveled enough for one day, Rogue, Kurt, Toad, Piotr, and Beast all laid down to rest.
Rogue slept away from everybody else, deep in the shadows of the trees, barely seen except for her pale skin which was softly glowing in the moonlight.
Kurt slept in an odd way. Curled into the fetal position, head propped against a tree, he looked like his neck was going to snap in half. It seemed enough for him, however, to sleep deeply.
Toad was lying near the others, in the center of what looks like a protective ring to surround him. Stretched out, his sleep isn't disturbed when the soft sounds of footsteps against the grass are heard.
Neither Piotr or Beast are asleep, both keeping watch over the three younger people of the group. Walking over to check on Rogue to make sure she's okay, Piotr stops by the other two as well, before sitting down on a log next to Beast.
"So, lets get this all straight so I don't get any more confused here. Rogue and Kurt left because they didn't want to deal with their roommates, but now want to go back because Rogue is afraid they'll ruin her room and she wont be welcome at all anymore. Toad wants a spine, because, well, just look at him! You want more oil so you don't rust up like that pathetic tin man back there. And I'm going to get some respect, because nobody listens to me. Right?"
Piotr blinks out of his daze, "Huh? Oh, uh, yeah, sure, right. But what about that house Rogue and Kurt told us about? The one they teleported here in."
"I've come to the conclusion that it was her friends house, because the goody goody witch was saying that when she was looking through the house, it was filled with fluffy pink stuff and posters of pop stars."
"When did you find the time to talk to the goody goody witch?"
Beast just grins, "when she was waiting for the pigmies."
