Tyler sat in the rec room a month later, skillfully shuffling his trading cards like Remy. "Hey Ty." Marie walked into the rec room and sat on the arm of Tyler's chair. "What's up?"

"Bored."

"Bored? We just got the mansion rebuilt last week and your already bored? Why not go play video games or something? Or here's a thought, do something with Shawn."

"Shawn's off looking for Becky." Tyler looked up at Marie and smiled.

"Why am I not surprised?" Marie rolled her eyes and sighed, just as a thought came to her. "Go find Shawn and bring him back to the rec room, I'm gonna go find Becky ok?"

Tyler was about to ask why as Marie jumped to her feet and ran off.

~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~

"Come in." Becky looked up as someone knocked on her door, seeing Marie standing in the doorframe.

"Come on, lets go." Marie grabbed Becky's wrist and ran downstairs with her to the rec room.

~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~

"Hey dude." Tyler walked over to Shawn how was outside. "I don't think Becky's out here, besides, Marie says I have to bring you back to the rec room."

"Why?"

"She just said to do it." Tyler walked back inside with Shawn behind him, going into the rec room only to find the girls sitting on the couch.

"Ok, the boys are here, now will you tell me why you dragged me down here?" Becky asked Marie.

"Sure, Tyler was bored so I figured we could play truth or dare, but they better be really good."

After a few minutes the three agreed to play and Marie was first to go. "Shawn, truth or dare." Marie smiled, she knew Shawn would go for dare.

"Truth." Marie's jaw dropped, she was certain he would pick dare. "I don't like to be predictable sis."

"Um…" Marie looked around for any adults, there were none. "Tell us good boy Shawn, are you a virgin?" Tyler laughed when he heard Marie's question, it was true, Shawn was the good teen around.

Shawn didn't say anything, he just looked at Marie, keeping an unemotional face at all times. "Tell us." Tyler prompted.

"No…" Shawn looked down as Marie and Tyler smiled.

"Who?" Tyler asked.

"Um…Carrie." Tyler burst out laughing as he rolled onto his back, holding his stomach as tears ran down his face.

"That preppy human?" Tyler asked as Marie giggled a bit.

"He has a point Shawn, she is such a prep, I mean, look at why your not with her, she doesn't like mutants."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just laugh it up." Shawn crossed his arms.

"We are." Tyler barely managed to get out before going back into a fit of hysteria.

"Ok Tyler, stop, it's Shawn's turn." Marie put a hand on Tyler's shoulder as he finally stopped and sat up.

"Becky, truth or dare?"

"Dare." Becky looked around at the other three teens before looking back to Shawn.

"I dare you to soak Hank's lab." Tyler and Marie gasped as Shawn sat back smiling.

"You cant be serious Shawn, that's just mean." Marie said.

"He wont think much of it."

"Yes he will, give her another one." Tyler watched Shawn sigh.

"Fine, I dare you to cancel Logan's penthouse subscription." Marie and Tyler cringed.

"I don't even want to know how you know about that." Marie cringed again as Shawn left the room then came back.

"Here you go." Shawn handed Becky a piece of paper with a number on it and the phone.

"What's his last name?" Becky looked at Shawn.

"Cromwell, he took on our mother's maiden name since he didn't know his last name." Shawn explained as Becky dialed the number.

"Yes, hello, I'd like to cancel Logan Cromwell's subscription please." Becky waited a minute. "Thank you." She turned the phone off and put it aside.

"If dad finds out, he'll kill someone, I'm sure." Marie said. "You have guts."

"If I could see I'd kill him." Lynx growled as everyone sat in the common room, waiting for Pietro…again. "How cane he be late twice in one month? It only takes him a second to do stuff."

"It's true Erik, Pietro is just putting us off." Victor leaned back in his chair, putting his feet up on the coffee table.

"I admit, I am starting to question his motives now." Magneto began to pace again as Piotr's metal drawing pen started floating around the room.

"Sorry I'm late." Pietro's voice appeared behind Lynx.

"Boy, I'll kill you." Lynx jumped over the back of the couch, landing on her feet and not Pietro.

"Wayyyyyyy too slow." Pietro laughed as Lynx got up from her crouch and growled.

"Don't worry Sheila, I'll hold him for you." St. John angrily said as Pietro gulped.

"Come on guys, I'm not that late." Pietro looked around as everyone was glaring at him.

"You were supposed to be here an hour and a half ago!" Victor yelled as he jumped to his feet, stepping towards Pietro.

"I said sorry!" Pietro said before trying to run away and getting tripped by Lynx kicking the coffee table into the corner of the room, right where Pietro was planning to go.

 St. John burst into laughter as Pietro was on the ground, flat on his face. "What happened?" Lynx asked.

"Pietro tripped over the table and he fell on his face." Piotr said as Pietro got up.

"Good." Lynx silently laughed to herself.

"Anyway, how are we going to get the X-Men this time?" Magneto looked at Lynx, waiting for her answer.

"Why ask me? Ask your son, he was with them last time he was late." Lynx smiled as everyone besides Victor glared at Pietro.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because when you walked into this room late, I could smell my mother on you."

"What? Pietro, why were you there?" Magneto looked at his son.

"I just wanted to see what they were up to, and they have another new friend, he some lizard man with scales and all, it's weird."

"I'll think of something later, and Pietro, don't leave this hideout until I think of something ok?" Lynx yelled as Magneto and Victor left the room, leaving the Alcolytes with Pietro.

"Don't look at me like that Pyro." Pietro looked a little uneasy as he sat down in a chair.

"Why not? You fuck everything up anyway." St. John stood up as Lynx blindly reached out a grabbed St. John's arm.

"Don't, you might hurt 'the prince'." Lynx said as the three Alcolytes walked out of the room, laughing to themselves.

"Tyler, truth or dare?" Becky asked, looking at Tyler.

"Dare."

"Um…" Becky looked around, trying to think of something to do. "Go put a slightly charged card in the back seat of Scott's sports car." Becky smiled as all color drained from Tyler's face.

"Come on Ty, you gotta." Marie urged as he slowly got up and went outside. "Look out the window?" Marie asked Shawn and the three bolted to the window, watching Tyler throw a charged card into Scott's car, blowing up the back seat then seeing Tyler come running back inside as fast as he could.

"OK, Shawn's turn." Tyler said, sitting down.

"What? Marie hasn't gone yet!" Shawn argued.

"So? I pick you."

"Fine, dare."

"Ok, kiss Becky."

"Come on Ty, I said good things." Marie nagged as she watched her brother lean over and kiss Becky. "Ohhh." Marie said as Becky blushed.

"You want something good Marie? I got it for you, truth or dare?" Shawn smiled to his sister.

"Dare."

"I dare you to take dad's dog tags."
