Anything but ordinary3 - Have you got either ITV2 or Toonami? (Both on Sky, not sure if they are on anything else). Because you can catch the X23 episode on GMVT2 on ITV2, whenever they get around to showing it again. Dang, i wish they'd hurry up and give us season 4.

Chapter 14 - Go greased lightning
****
Ahhh morning, such a blessed day. The sun shone brightly, everyone had hangovers...Scott was screaming. Sam had been made his offical 'trolley pusher' unfortunately, when the time for Sam's eye drops to be administered had arrived, Sam had made a break for it, leaving Scott alone...well, he HAD turned him to face a window. Which was when Scott had noticed something was missing.
"What happened to Samantha?!"
Everyone blinked at him. Scott sighed and tried to wiggle his cast-up body to point outside.
".....What are we looking at?", asked Jean, squinting.
"My car", replied Scott dryly.
"But...it's not there", said Kurt.
"EXACTLY!!!!", said Scott, "who took her, WHO TOOK HER?!!!!!"
"Hey....Remy is being missing too", said Piotr.
"ZIPPY!!!!!".
Everyone blinked as Pyro's anguished scream ran through the house.
"And Pyro's lighter..apparently", added Piotr, "oh, i am betting they all went missing together"
"You don't say!!!!", said Scott venomously, "that thieveing Cajun has taken away MY car!!!!".
"Forget your car!!!!", whimpered Pyro, walking over, "i want Zippy back....oh man, i can't make fire!!! I'm going into withdrawl symptoms. Is my eye twitching?...i think it's twitching"
With that, he twitched his eye, adding in a 'cichk' sound for good measure.
"Pyro, you've only JUST realised that your lighter's missing", said Jean, "you can't possibly be suffering from withdrawl symptoms yet".
Pyro collpased on the floor and curled into a little ball, rocking.
"Burny, burny...no fire....no fire", he chanted, "no fire make Pyro go crazy, crazy fire no Pyro make"
Everyone took a GOOD step away from him....yes, he was certainally more crazy than usual...but at least he was quiet.
"ZIPPPPYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"
....Or not.
"Colossus, get him under control!", said Scott.
"No!", said Piotr, "i am not being responsible for him, so there. Besides, Kitty wanted me for doing something"
With that, the giant Russian left, leaving the others to deal with a now manic-depressive Pyro.
"Pyro, you know you DO have other lighters", said Scott moodily, "remember that little 'shopping trip'?"
BAD move, Scott. Pyro suddenly gave a VERY big grin and ran off to find them.
"Hey, anyone want to play a game of foosball with me?", asked Bobby as he walked into the room, "i won't freeze the other players handles this time, i promise"
"I'll play", said Scott, despite the fact he couldn't actually move a single body part.
"Anyone at all?", said Bobby, looking around, obviously ignoring Scott.
"I'll play", said Alex, from where he was coming downstairs.
"COOL!", said Bobby, walking off to the game room with Alex, Kurt and Jean following to 'wtach'...leaving a very bewildered Scott.
"Well FINE, be like that. SEE IF I CARE!!!!", he shouted, then blinked, "great...now i'm talking to myself"
****
Piotr had finally found Kitty in the garage, she had a chauffer's hat on and looked quite excited. Piotr should have known something was wrong and run for his life...unfortunately, he did not.
"You were wanting my help, Kitty?"
Kitty turned and smiled at him.
"Yep, i'm going on a driving lesson, let me just pick a vehicle", she glanced around, Scott's car was gone, the Adults had the X-Van and Jean's SUV had mysteriously vanished..and there was no WAY she was going to drive the Professor's Bentley.
She eyed Piotr's motorcycle. Piotr blinked, sudden dread hitting him in the stomach.
"No!"
Kitty sighed, her eyes floating onto the only other vehicle on the estate, Forge's pick-up truck.
"Groovy", said said with an evil grin.
"You are honestly going to be driving a physcadelic painted pick-up truck in PUBLIC?", asked Piotr, blinking.
"Yep, and as the only eighteen-pluser in the house, that's neither wounded, hiding or insane, you're going with me!".
Piotr blinked, why hadn't he seen that one coming? WHY?!!!!
"Errr...maybe you would prefer to be going with Jean?", he asked with a nervous chuckle.
"I HATE Jean as a driving partner!", said Kitty, "she always starts screaming"
"=I wonder why=", Piotr muttered to himself in Russian.
"Didn't catch that", said Kitty as she climbed into the front seat of the truck.
"Nothing", replied Piotr, giving a sad sigh and climbing in next to her.
Unfortunately, Forge had obviously not planned to ever have anyone above six and a half feet tall in his van, and so Piotr had to sit hunched up...This meant he would have no seat belt......and that terrified him beyond all rational means. If he went into metal form now...he would weigh down the truck, so he had to stay in flesh form, feeling VERY scared and vunerable. Kitty grinned, adjusting the rear view mirror, which had a miniature disco-ball hanging from it. She looked at the ignition, and paused. Piotr almost laughed with joy, she didn't have the keys, SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE KEYS!!!. It was then she reached into her pocket, producing a set of keys, Piotr sighed, she had the keys. Where she got them, he didn't want to know. Kitty jammed the key into the ignition, starting up the truck, and the radio..which began playing 'Living Next Door to Alice' at full blast.
"TURN IT OFF, TURN IT OFF!!!", screamed Kitty.
"I do not know how!!!", shouted Piotr.
"'I don't why she's leavin' or the way she's gonna go, i guess she's got her reasons but i just don't wanna know...."
Unable to take any more of the 70's tune, Piotr grabbed the radio and pulled it roughly out of it's place....taking the bottom half of the dashboard with it.
"Oooops?", he said.
"Oh well, Forge can fix it", said Kitty with a shrug, "he likes fixing things".
Piotr nodded, dumping the chunk of dashboard into the bed of the truck before squeasing back in, Kitty driving them off to their doom.

"Scott, we don't favour Alex over you!", said Jean patiently, Scott had been a mood since the 'foosball incident', "It's just Alex is more....laid back"
"LAID BACK?", said Scott, "you want laid back?. I can do laid back. See, this is me, being laid back!!"
Scott did nothing.
"Scott, Honey", said Jean carefully, "you're just standing still, and that's all you can do. You know, being in a cast and all"
"For your imformation", said Scott icily, "i was standing still with my eyes closed"
"Oh...well, i wouldn't know that", said Jean.
There was a long silence.
"It's because he's blonde, isn't it?"
Before Jean could answer, Piotr stumbled towards them, looking very ill.
"Never ever again!", he said, "neint!"
With that, he collapsed on the floor, Kitty walking over him seconds later.
"Oh don't be such a wuss", she said, "we only hit a FEW brick walls! The truck still has one tyre....and a roof, it still has a roof".
"What happened?", asked Jean blinking.
"I went driving in Forge's truck", said Kitty, "but wussy boy here panicked and made me drive into a ravine. I phased us through the big rocks but......Forge DOES have insurance, doesn't he?"
"I don't think so", said Jean, "the whole time-displacement thing doesn't sit well with the DMV".
"Oh", said Kitty, before shrugging and walking off, "oh well"
Piotr gave a whimper from the floor.
"Please, don't ever be making me do that again", he said, "i will be doning ANYTHING to never drive with 'Little Miss Roadrage' again".
"It's okay Piotr", said Jean, patting him on the head, "she's run out of cars, and she'll NEVER find my SUV".

For those of you who read Teacher Training, you will know EXACTLY where Remy went with 'Samantha'. Like all the vehicles that i 'name' this one is named after a member of my family, my cousin, to be exact. Do review..until next time...
