Anything but ordinary3 - The Toad the Witch and the Wardobe is before X23, after TWW, there's Under Lock and Key, Cruise Control, X23 and the two part finalie. It's on GMTV2 on Monday-Friday at around 8:30 - 8:50am, though it might be a bit earlier now. Glad to have helped ;)
We are nearing the end of our little story now, in fact, the next chapter will be the last *sniffle*.

Chapter 15 - D day is upon us

Later on that night, Rogue was wandering the lower level halls when she heard a manical giggle. Such a giggle could only belong to one person...
"Pyro, what are you doing?"
Pyro poked his head around the hanger door and beckoned her excitedly over, like a kid that had just found something gross and dangerous.
"I found the after-party-clean-up-elves' nest!", he squealed, bouncing from foot to foot.
Rogue knew she shouldn't take him on. She should turn away, live a long life. Unfortunately, curiosity won the day.
"Okay, a'hll bite", she said, "where is it?"
Pyro pointed to the large gasolene tank used to power the Velocity. Rogue blinked twice.
"Pyro....a'h really don't think they would be in there".
"Don't be a Galah", he said, "i can hear them sloshing around in there"
With that, he pressed his ear to the tank and giggled, rubbing his hands over the tank as if it were an egg.
"Pyro hears you, my pretties", he said, "now HOW to get them out..."
"Oh dear lord..", said Rogue, she knew what was coming next...
"I know, i'll BURN them out!", said Pyro.
"...Why am a'h not shocked?", said Rogue with a sigh, walking off, "a'hll call the fire department in advance..."

Meanwhile, Remy had returned from his 'gambling trip', only to walk into a full cast up Scott.
"What happened to YOU Mon Ami?", he said with a chuckle.
"Where the heck have you been?", yelled Scott, "with MY car?!!!"
"Gambit went to de casino to get more money", said Remy, "but Gambit....he run into de adults".
"Oh NO!", said Scott, "was the professor mad? Was he MAD?!!!!"
"Chill out and relax, Mon Ami", said Remy, "dere's not'ing to worry about".
"What do you mean 'there's nothing to worry about'?", screamed Scott, "the adults are home tomorrow and the place is a WREAK! We have NO money to fix it. Tell me, PLEASE, what is there to relax about, HUH?!!".
Remy grinned at Scott's outburst.
"'Cause Gambit's got Magneto's credit card".
He patted his pocket surely before suddenly going very pale. He patted down all his pockets before starting to empty them, littering bo-staff parts, playing cards and lock picks onto the table in front of him. He rummaged through the pile before taking a deep breath and closing his eyes.
"Remy...", said Scott carefully, "please don't tell me you lost Magneto's credit card, our only source of income and only hope of returning the mansion to normal".
"Okay....Gambit won't tell you"
"BURN BABY BURN!!!"
Scott blinked at that sound.
"What was that?"
"You remember all those novelty lighters Pyro bought on that shopping trip?", said Rogue, running up, breathless.
"He found them?", said Remy.
"Yep...and he decided to set them all off at once", said Rogue, "he's going to blow up the 'after-party-clean-up-elves' nest".
"Oh?", said Scott.
"It's that really big tank of gasolene we use to fuel the Velocity".
"....Oh".
FWOOOOOOMMMMFFFF! KAAAAABOOOOOM!

"...Oh the plus side, we now have a STUNNING view of the west garden", said Kitty.
"That is because the entire side of the house was BURNED AWAY!!!", screamed Scott, who had been wheeled outside.
Indeed, the West wall of the house was now a smouldering heap. Amara, Tabby and Jean's room had been taken out, as had the kitchen and half the hangar. The other mutants were bustling around, trying to tidy up the mess....yep, the adults just MIGHT notice this one...
"Well...Gambit's moving to Bermuda", said Remy, clapping his hands together, "anyone want to come with?"
"I do, i do!", said Kurt, raising a hand.
"NO ONE is moving to Bermuda!", snapped Scott, "we are all staying here!!!!...except Alex, who went home"
"And me", growled X23 as she passed, "you guys take destruction to a whole new level. And they say I'M dangerous"
"You're not going to stay?", said Ray, giving a small whimper, before clearing his throat, "and help...yeah..huh, i don't care"
"We are being needing your help", said Piotr.
"You couldn't make me stay if you PAID me", hissed X23, pointing at the members of the X-Men and Acolytes, "A plauge on both your houses!!!!!".
With that, she left, walking past Roberto, who had all of Pyro's novelty lighters in his arms. Pyro was clinging to his leg, screaming for mercy as Roberto carried on, unhindered, despite it being evening and not having a lick of sunlight to go on.
"Please NOOOOOO!", sobbed the Austrailian, "i won't make fun of your accent anymore...you can make fun of MINE!!".
Roberto rolled his eyes.
"This isn't about you making fun of my accent"
"Is it about the Elvis tattoo?", tried Pyro, still sniffling, "i was only pulling your leg, you know, Elvis really is cool"
"Not about the tattoo either", said Roberto, "but thanks for bringing THAT one up"
"Your secret marriage to Kitty?", said Pyro, "i didn't tell anyone, i SWEAR!! Okay, i may have told Alex...and X23...and that pizza delivery guy..but one one else!!!!"
Anyone who did NOT know about the 'accident' in Vegas all shot their heads up.
"WHAT?!!!!".
"That was one of those times i should have used my 'quiet voice'..isn't it?", said Pyro sheepishly.
"Yes...yes it was", said Roberto dryly, kicking Pyro off his leg and advancing to a sewer drain with the lighters.
"Please NOOOOO!", said Pyro, "i'll do ANYTHING!!!".
"Scott told me to do it", said Roberto, then added with a smirk, "but now...i think i'm going to enjoy this".
With that, he unceremoniously dumped all the lighters down the drain.
"MY BABIES!!!", screamed Pyro, diving to the floor and trying to claw them out of the drain.
Roberto gave a slightly evil chuckle, before walking away, leaving Pyro a broken teen.

Oh man, in the next and final chapters, the adults return....poor adults, or ARE they? Do review. Until next time....
