If you thought it was weird before…it's about to get weirder. A lot weirder. What was in those three Coffee Coolatas I drank?
Tell Me I'm Hallucinating
"What is that?" Scott asked as they chased Sweet outside.
"If I didn't know better I'd say it was a fairy," Jean told him. "What in the world…?"
They saw a bouncing hat cross their path. Every now and then a dove or a rabbit would cough out of it. "Okay that was weird," Scott gulped.
Lockheed flew over to them barking. "What is it Lockheed?" Jean asked. "Come on boy show me!" They ran over to an area of the garden. Then they stopped cold at the sight.
"Holy…" Scott gasped.
"Uh…Scott is that what I think it is?" Jean's mouth fell open.
"What are you looking at Red?" Logan snarled.
"Logan?" Scott's jaw dropped as well. Right in front of him was a huge black unicorn with metallic hooves and a metal horn.
"Not…one word…." Logan snarled.
"How…?" Scott asked.
"Ask him!" Logan indicated with his head. Benny was stuck up a tree clinging for dear life.
"Now I can understand that you're a bit miffed at what I did," Benny told him. "But it's not that bad."
"NOT THAT BAD?" Logan shouted. "I LOOK LIKE A CYBORG VERSION OF SEABISCUT! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?"
"Well he turned you into a…" Jean began.
"I KNOW WHAT HE TURNED ME INTO RED!" Logan stomped his hoof.
"Um…excuse me," Benny waved. "You'd probably want to know what's going on here right?"
"That would be nice," Scott said. "Are you a mutant?"
"No, I'm a sorcerer. Well not a real sorcerer, I'm a sorcerer in training," Benny explained. "Benny Barumpbump at your service! Uh could you help me down please?"
Jean used her telekinesis to bring him down. "Thanks," Benny brushed himself off.
"Okay I want some answers here," Scott told him.
"Well you see I'm trying to track down these three fairies," Benny explained. "And at least two of them are hiding around here and I was chasing one of them when this dragon cornered me then I got caught by your security system and by the time I managed to get myself out of that mess he showed up. When he popped those claws out at me I kind of over reacted."
"YOU THINK?" Logan snapped.
"Let me get this straight…You turned Wolverine…into a unicorn?" Jean asked. "I don't believe this!"
"Yeah I know," Benny scratched his head. "I was going for a puppy. Weird."
"WEIRD IS NOT THE WORD!" Logan snarled as he menaced Benny.
"Look I'm really sorry I did that," Benny apologized. "But you kind of freaked me out there."
"If you don't change me back…" Logan snarled. "You are going to get even more freaked out! Get the point!" He pointed his horn straight at Benny's throat.
"Okay…okay take it easy!" Benny backed off. "I'll change you back…once I figure out how exactly I did it." He looked in his pouch. "Now where is that emergency book of reverse spells? Hey what's this mirror for?" Benny brought out a rather large compact mirror. He opened it up and looked at it. "Hey there's no reflection in this thing! All I see is black!"
"You're gonna be see hoof marks all over your face if you don't…" Logan began.
Then there was a shriek. "Oh dear," Benny gulped as he saw Ororo with the three inspectors coming their way.
"Is that what I think it is?" Ms. Snow gasped.
"What? A unicorn? There is no unicorn here!" Scott waved his arms and tried to block their view of Logan.
"This is so humiliating…" Logan growled under his breath.
"Is that a dragon?" Mr. Ball blinked at Lockheed.
"I told you they had a dragon here but noooo, you wouldn't listen to me!" Ms. March snapped. "Of course I had no idea you had other animals in your menagerie here too! What else do you people have flying around here? Maybe a Pegasus or a griffin?"
"That could be arranged," Benny said.
"Who…?" Ororo looked at Benny.
"Uh guest lecturer," Jean thought quickly. "Magician. Have them all the time to talk about careers."
"I guess that profession makes sense for mutants," Mr. Ball shrugged.
"Oh a unicorn! I knew they were real! I knew it!" Ms. Snow had stars in her eyes. "I always wanted to ride a unicorn of my very own!"
"No…way," Logan grunted. He turned tail and ran.
"UNICORN! UNICORN! COME BACK YOU PRECIOUS THING!" Ms. Snow shouted happily as she chased after Logan.
"Ms. Snow please don't tease their unicorn!" Mr. Ball shouted. He ran after her.
"Oh for crying out loud Ms. Snow get a grip!" Ms. March shouted as she chased after her as well.
"This is so not good," Scott moaned.
"Wait was that…?" Ororo's eyes widened.
"Logan, yeah," Scott said. "We'll explain later. Come on!" They ran off after them. Unfortunately Benny had dropped the strange mirror to the ground and left it open. No one noticed a long black tentacle sneaking out of the mirror.
It's going to get stranger and weirder and wilder folks! Ha Ha!
