That Friday after school found us all exploring a local forest preserve that was called Blackwell. It's a series of lakes that surround a large hill, called Mount Trashmore, because it used to be a large landfill. When it was getting close to Sunset, we found a small pond whose crystal waters perfectly reflected the setting sun. It had a little pier extending into the water. Liz, Dan, and Staci got disturbed and ran off with Staci singing Lion King songs when other eight of us showed no sign of leaving the water's edge. But the romantic moment was broken when we heard laughter behind us.

"We know we'd find you with these X-geeks, Pietro." Pietro was back by Priya's side before Lance even hit the ground. Pietro had tripped him flat on his back.

"Yo, where's that hot Russian?" Toad asked eagerly.

"She's off in the woods somewhere." Andy told him. Priya elbowed him.

"Ferme a la boushe, dumbass."

"Whoops." Andy said as Toad hopped off to find Staci.

"Hey, get back here!" Lance shouted back after him. "No matter, we don't need him anyway."

Wanda addressed her brother. "Pietro, you have to stop hanging out with the Xmen! They're our enemies."

"But they're my friends."

"We'd hope you'd come willingly. But since you're not gonna."

The ground started shaking. Evan, Jenn, and Priya fell into the lake. Kurt teleported to the nearest brotherhood member, Wanda, and then teleported away. We saw a flash on the other side of the lake, so he was presumably trying to get them away from us. The Blob was jumping around, trying to squish people, and Priya Jenn and Evan were trying to figure out how to climb out of the lake's steep sides.

Tabby started shooting off her little bombs and that combined with Lance's earthquake knocked rocks flying everywhere. I felt one collide with the side of my head and I started falling. I grabbed the empty air around me and my hand closed around Pietro's wrist for a brief second before I completely lost my balance and felt myself falling off the pier into unconsciousness.

"Beth! Priya and Jenn both tried to swim for me, but I sank too fast. They tried several times, but the water was too deep. The brotherhood seemed to have been chased away by now.

"Pietro, go get Kurt!" He made as if to run away, but only went at a normal speed.

"What the heck…"

"Hurry up! This is not the time!"

"I'm not doing it on purpose. It's like I can't use my powers!"

Realization spread on Priya and Jenn's faces.

"She cant move! We have to figure out how to save her." Jenn was practically in hysterics.

Kitty remembered the first time I had done this though, "She doesn't need to breath though. She should be ok."

Priya had been thinking. "Can you and Andy phase through the water? I mean, you should be able to go faster than us swimming."

They nodded and jumped in, dropping pretty fast. I felt a hand around my wrist and then I was rising with them. Once we were back on the pier, I reached up the one arm I could move and grabbed Pietro's wrist, pulling the power back into myself. I coughed and blinked.

"Thanks guys. I…" I noticed Kitty and Andy were staring at each other.

"What?"

"We, ah, he, um, yeah." Kitty tried to explain.

"Well, that clears things up." Priya said sarcastically.

Andy tried this time. "I bumped into her on the way down. I know it was her. But look." He waved his hand back and forth through her arm.

"You guys were both phasing. Try that now."

They both turned intangible and Andy poked Kitty's side. She squeaked almost as well as Jenn and then looked up at him, staring.

"It…worked!" She started bouncing up and down before throwing her arms around him. Priya was giggling again. Kurt bamfed back and we had to fill him in. Then Staci was chased into view by a lovestruck toad and as soon as we chased off the amphibian, we filled her in as well. Then Liz and Dan came through the clearing looking for Staci and we had to explain it again. Dan tried to give Andy a congratulatory pat on the back, but failed since his hand went strait through. Andy was holding onto Kitty's hand.

"Now we're not going to be able to abuse you if you're always going to be intangible. And we know you're gonna wanna." Priya complained.

"Well, we can't stay intangible forever." Kitty responded, and sure enough, it started to become evident that Kitty and Andy weren't holding on to anything they could feel anymore. "I can only phase for a few minutes at the most. Otherwise I get to tired." She did look a little wobbly.

Liz was still curious. "Is it just when one of you phases? Or both. Cause you could take turns phasing and then it could last longer."

Andy phased and tried to poke her, but it didn't work. It also seemed to take up the last of his strength and Dan had to keep him from falling into the lake. We decided that it might be time to go home.

But of course, not before Priya tried to light the lake on fire. We tried to figure out where she had gotten the pixie sticks from, and noticed Pietro trying to look innocent and whistle. "What?" We just sighed and rolled our eyes. Those two would be the death of us. (winks to Priya).

AN: Not sure what to do next, so it might just be homecoming. And this should be funny because our school does some really stupid things for homecoming. Like letting off fireworks in the gym. And yet we somehow don't have enough money for activity busses…(cough cough the geniuses cough cough) YAY, very little to die for in this chapter, except maybe by Andy (please don't use Priya's witchcraft to send Samara after me)
