Hollywood Hijinks!

To RogueFanKC: Yeah, who knows how these people get this stuff. Let's just say never threaten Lockheed, or else the Incredible Kitty's gonna lay you out! (Kitty: *cuddling Lockheed* Aww, did that big jerk Peter scare my widdle baby?) Yup, Kitty loves her dragon. *gets nuzzled by Lockheed* Dragons like me.

To JCKIDSMART: Oh, I plan to humiliate Kelly in another way ^_~. It will be funny, so don't worry about it, my friend.

To Wizard1: Yep, never mess with Kitty. (Peter: I was set up! I get framed, and I get my entire skeletal system rearranged by her! Ow.) Yeah, Virus does tend to be a bit of an airhead at times (Virus: Zanya hit my head. Can Althea kiss it better?) I hope Craig don't catch up with you. (Craig: PRAY ALL YOU WANT, WIZARD1!!!! I'M COMING FOR YA!!!!!) Hey Craig, don't take too long. (Wanda: Yeah, I need my kitty back!)

"Alright, kids. This is the final scene." McGee pointed to an on-location set: A closed-off street in Los Angeles. The Misfits and the X-Men were there.

"Man, it's good to be home." Paul smiled as he looked around. He noticed an emptied grocery store. "Hey, this is where I used to get my chocolate milk from all the time!" Paul smiled happily.

"He has a craving for chocolate milk." Craig shook his head. "Recondo always has to buy a couple gallons to keep Paul happy."

"I've been drinking chocolate milk since I was five." Paul grinned. "Milk does a body good."

"I'll say." Tabby sighed.

"Paul, you'd be fantastic in a public service announcement." Lance snickered.

"I hope we do not have to do anymore stuntwork." Peter groaned, rubbing his neck. Kitty snorted. "Katya, I keep telling you! The Misfits set me up!"

"At least Lance never tried to flush Lockheed down the toilet." Kitty put her nose in the air.

"The pose of the typical X-Geek." Wanda snickered.

"But Lance and Craig set me up!" Peter exclaimed.

"I saw you, Peter!" Kitty snapped. "I saw you holding Lockheed by the neck and trying to stuff him down the toilet."

"Craig put me in a trance!" Peter snapped. "You've seen what people look like under the Starr Brothers' trance! Their eyes glow purple! My eyes were glowing purple!" Colossus screamed.

"Quit trying to frame Paul's brother, you...you...you dragon-abuser!" Kitty huffed. Colossus groaned, throwing his arms in the air. Lance laughed.

"Man, what is your problem with dragons?" Lance snickered.

"Yeah. Lockheed did nothing to you, but you were so violent to him. Why?" Craig smirked.

"You two know about being violent, you thugs!" Peter snapped.

"At least I never tried to flush Kitty's dragon down the toilet." Craig shrugged. "I may be a hot-tempered person who tends to be overly violent, but at least I can say I was never stupid."

"And I have done some dumb stuff in my time, but I never did anything THAT dumb." Lance snickered. McGee watched in amazement.

"You don't want to know, man." Jamie told him. "The whole Lance/Kitty/Peter thing has more twists and turns than the cheesiest soap opera." He muttered under his breath: "Geez, can't she make up her mind?"

"Anyway, in this scene, the Misfits induct the Superstars into the team." McGee explained. "Are the world's first all-mutant rock band ready?"

"In costume, and waiting." John cackled. He and the other three members of the Superstars were clad in their band costumes and makeup.

"Paul's so cute in his costume." Rogue sighed. Remy turned red.

"Gambit hate that Starchild..." Remy growled.

"Why are the X-Men here then?" Scott wondered.

"Well, you guys are extras in the crowd of people watching." McGee explained. "You see, the Misfits, with help from the Superstars, the world's first all-mutant rock band, have defeated the Evil Space Chickens from Dimension X. In the process, the band has become heroes."

"Yup, this is a movie." Roberto sighed under his breath. "No one ever considers a mutant a hero in the real world."

"Alright, everyone ready! Bring in the extras!" McGee announced. But suddenly, a laser blast came from nowhere. The X-Men and Misfits turned around and saw one of the animatronic Space Chickens. This one was heavily modified, though: It had armor around the chest, a spiked helmet, and what appeared to be a pair of multi-pod missile launchers on its shoulders.

"What is that?" Storm wondered.

"Hey, who messed with my chicken?" McGee yelled.

"I did." A mechanized British-accented voice came from the chicken.

"Virus!" Althea growled.

"Yep, my daring Althea. It's me." Virus replied.

"Who is that?" McGee asked.

"Virus." Paul explained. "He's a Dreadnok. The guy works for Cobra. He's a mutant, like us. He can possess machines."

"More than that now, my glam-rocking friend." Virus laughed. "My powers mutated. I now have this little knack for gadgetry."

"That's my power!" Forge realized.

"Aw, Summers..." Virus said in a disappointed tone. "I thought we had a deal." Everyone turned to Scott.

"You made a deal with a DREADNOK?!" Craig snapped.

"I didn't know!" Scott exclaimed.

"Yeah, the dumb nerd did." Virus laughed. "He promised to take out that filthy Toad for me if I took out Starchild for him."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" The X-Girls roared angrily.

"I see you weren't able to fulfill your part of the deal." Virus snickered.

"Remy, you'd better not be in on this." Rogue shoved a fist in Gambit's face.

"REMY KNOW NOTHING!!! REMY KNOW NOTHING!!!! REMY SWEAR TO GOD HE KNOW NOTHING!!!! PLEASE NO HURT GAMBIT BECAUSE GAMBIT KNOW NOTHING!!!!" Remy cowered.

"Ray, if you know anything about this, I am going to..." Tabitha snarled.

"I KNOW NOTHING!!!! I KNOW NOTHING!!!! SCOTT'S AN IDIOT AND I KNOW NOTHING!!!" Ray screamed in fright, covering himself up. Kitty shot a withering glare at Peter.

"KITTY, I SWEAR TO GOD AND ON MY DEAR GRANDMOTHER'S GRAVE, I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS!!!! DON'T HURT ME OR SIC YOUR DRAGON ON ME!!!! PLEASE!!! BELIEVE ME!!!! I KNOW NOTHING!!! I KNOW NOTHING!!! I KNOW NOTHING!!!" Peter screamed, armoring up and covering his face with his arms in a gesture of raw terror.

"Scott..." Jean growled. "You had better run away now."

"Good idea." Scott squeaked in fright. He was off like a shot. The X-Girls charged after the X-Men's leader, intent on tearing him limb from limb. "HELP ME!!!!"

"VIRUS!!!!" A voice roared.

"Aw c'mon!" Virus moaned. Zanya stomped to the modified chicken. "There you are, you sick monster! Get out of that chicken or I will pull you out!"

"You know, I'm getting really tempted to use these missiles to blast YOU, Zanya!" Virus snapped.

"You do it, and Dad, Uncle Zandar, and Aunt Zarana will wring your turkey neck!" Zanya snapped back.

"Uhm, Zanya? I'm right here." Paul waved. Zanya looked and blew Paul a kiss. She then turned to Virus with a glare.

"You are so lucky he's alright." Zanya glared.

"Oh shut up, you over-pierced lovestruck witch." Virus grumbled under his breath. The Joes walked in.

"Hello, Zanya. Virus." Bulldog punched his palm. "I've been wanting a rematch."

"As have I." Storm took to the air, thunder crackling in her hands.

"Oh shoot." Virus groaned. Storm fired a thunder blast from each hand, one hitting Virus, the other hitting Zanya.

"KIYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWCH!!!!!" Virus and Zanya screamed. Zanya fainted. Virus was knocked out of the chicken, into a heap on the floor. Bulldog grabbed the mutant hacker.

"Huh...?" Virus moaned.

"Have a nice flight, you little geek!" Bulldog pitched Virus up into the air, then socked him in the jaw. The punch sent a screaming Virus flying. A couple of Tabby's bombs rolled up to the chicken, making it explode. It sent a scorched Zanya flying.

"Hoo boy." McGee fainted.

(Mann's Chinese Theatre, Hollywood, California.)

It was the premiere of "Evil Space Chickens VI: The Chickens Return". Celebrities came out to witness the new film. The Joes and the X-Men were there as well, clad in their Sunday best.

"Whooo-yeah!" Sam crowed. "We are the best!" Sam was clad in a tux that had a blue jacket and pants, white shirt, and black bowtie.

"Uh-huh!" Jamie grinned in agreement. His suit was gold, with black sleeves and a silver tie.

"Man, this is fantastic!" Jean smiled, clad in a red dress, as she looked at the marquee: "Evil Space Chickens VI: The Chickens Return. Starring the Misfits." The Misfits arrived in a long white limo. Wanda wore a red dress, and Althea chose a blue one. Todd had a green tux, Pietro teal, Blob gray, and Xi wore a yellow one. Another limo arrived: A long black one with The Superstars' logo along the sides.

"And here they are, the hottest band in the world! Paul, John, Lance, and Craig, THE SUPERSTARS!!!" A female entertainment reporter squealed into a microphone. The quartet emerged from the limo, clad in their band costumes and makeup. The girls started cheering and the guys started hooting.

"I love you, Paul!"

"You guys rock, man!"

"You guys kick butt!"

"Marry me, John!" The screams and hollers continued as the band joined their friends.

"This is awesome! I mean totally tubular!" Paul whispered excitedly.

"No kidding." Tabby agreed, clad in orange. Dirk McGee made his appearance. A reporter ran up to him.

"Mr. McGee, you have done it again! Evil Space Chickens VI, like its five predecessors, is a hit! Do you have anyone to thank?"

"Well, yes." McGee grinned.

"He's gonna thank me! He's gonna thank me!" Pietro grinned excitedly.

"I'd like to thank myself, because only I have the creative vision to create this film!" McGee grinned. The X-Men, Misfits, and Joes' jaws dropped.

"THAT EGOMANIAC!!!" Scott, Pietro, and Shipwreck roared. The three tried to jump the director, intent on beating him senseless, but the others held him back.

Oh, McGee had better run! Anyway, thanks for reading my fic! Hope to see you all again! This is L1701E, signing off!
