Chapter 11 - Bubbles, bubbles everywhere
*****
A few hours later and the Common Room had been decked out with paper cups, balloons and confetti.
"....What is the point of all of this?", asked X23, gesturing to all the balloons and party objects.
"It's for a party", replied Ray.
"Pa-rt-ie?", said X23, blinking.
"YEAH!", said Kitty, boucning over, "a party, you know, music, dancing, games....fun?"
X23 blinked.
"Okay", said Kitty, "girl, you need to be taught how to be a teenager before it's too late".
With that, Kitty flung her arm over her 'fledgling' and dragged her off to mingle...or rather teach her how to mingle. X23 stole one, last 'for the love of all things holy, help me' looks at Ray before disapearing.
"....Awwwww", said Ray quietly, then noticed Roberto blinking at him, "i mean, YEY, she's gone".
"Uh...huh", said Roberto, shaking his head and walking off.

A little while later, Ray looked at the clock, the party was in full swing, beer being drunk, people falling over, Sam screaming at the state of Ororo's attic....Torpid was hanging onto Jamie's leg while he tried to escape from her while Remy had made himself a pyramid of empty beer cans, Scott watching moodily, HE was staying responsible!
"X23 and Kitty have been gone a long time", Ray said to no-one in particular.
"Oooooooh", said Bobby from where he was making a few ice-sculptures, "i think someone has a crush on someone else".
"I don't have a crush on Kitty", said Ray, "Jamie does, but not me".
"I wasn't talking about Kitty", said Bobby pointedly, "you like physco- chick".
"HEY!, don't call her that!", said Ray, then blinked, "...whoah....how did i not see this one?".
"Because you're an idiot", said Bobby with a chuckle as Kurt 'ported in.
"Hey, look vhat i found in the back of Forge's truck!", said Kurt, holding up a small box, "eet's a bubble machine!".
"A.....whatnow?", asked Bobby.
"A machine that makes bubbles!", said Kurt, "apparently they vere big in the days of yore".
"....A'h don't think the seventies can be called 'yore'", pointed out Rogue.
"Yesteryear then", said Kurt.
"....Why would Forge have a bubble machine in his pick-up truck?", asked Jean, "and don't you think he's gonna be mad at you for stealing all his stuff. Need we remind you of the 'whoopsie'?".
"I'm sure he has his reasons", said Kurt, then smirked, "i can borrow anything i vant, one of the advantages for saving him from a pocket dimension. And the Whoopsie vas for a good cause!"
"Kurt, half the botanical population of Bayville is now dead", said Scott, "how can that be a good cause?"
"I saved the vorld man, saved the vorld", said Kurt, "and this ees the thanks i get?".
With that, he switched on the bubble machine.....and thus 'Whoopsie number two' was born. The machine started to make manical beeping sounds and started to shake, causing everyone to back off a good few feet from it. Piotr spoke for everyone.
".....I do not think that is a bubble machine".
The machine started to shake more violently, before a HUGE, florescent blue bubble started to form. It grew and grew, starting to take over the room.
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!", screamed Remy, "save the beers! Women and Cajuns first!".
Just when it seemed like the bubble was going to fill the entire room...it stopped, everyone giving a sigh of relief. That was, until Evan walked into the room.
"Okay, Torpid, time to go home", he said as he walked past the bubble, one of his spikes brushing against it.
BOOOM!
The entire mansion rocked with the explosion, throwing everyone to the floor. Once the dust had cleared, Rogue coughed back some smoke.
"Well.....the damage isn't THAT bad", she said.
....She should have touched wood.
******
".....Maybe the Professor won't notice".
The assembled X-Men and Acolytes stared at the mansion from outside. It now tilted at a right angle...making it look like a Ripley's Believe it or Not museum.
"No..no i'm sure he won't", said Scott.
"Really?", said Kurt hopefully.
"NO!!!. Kurt, our home is LEANING!!!", snapped Scott, throwing his arms into the air.
"Okay, i'm sorry!", snapped Kurt, "I didn't kow that the bubble machine was really a BOMB! Vhat sort of idiot disguises a bomb as a bubble machine?"
"What kind of idiot falls for it?", asked Amara dryly.
"Hey!".
"What was the big explosion?!", said Kitty, running out of the house, "there i was, teaching X23 the finer points of make-up and...oh look at the house".
"Yes", said Scott, "look at the house, Kurt, LOOK AT THE HOUSE!!!".
"I said i vas sorry, geez!", snapped Kurt, flicking his tail in anoyance.
"And what is the lesson we have learned today children?", said Jean.
"Never EVER touch anything that has been vithin a twenty mile radius of Forge ever, ever again?", tried Kurt with a sheepish grin.
"I wonder how many accidents it's gonna take before we actually remember not to do that", mused Sam.
"Oh forget about the house!", said Pyro, tapping his foot, "it's still standing and the night is still young, we're here to party, so lets party!!!!".
With that, the students headed back into the now lopsided mansion. X23 peeked out from around a pillar.
"Phasing girl...i don't like this", she squeaked, "can i change back now?"
"But i'm not down beautifying you yet", said Kitty, "gotta get rid of that bizare evil 'i'm a phsyco' look".
With that, she ushered X23 away again...the dangerous killer giving a small whimper.

And there is another chapter done. Wow, X23 is fun to work with, yes, yes she is. Do review. Until nect time...
