"What are you doing here?"
"Er, there's some perfectly logical explanation."
"Missed me, didya?"
"I, er, well, wait, what?"
"Well, I missed you too." And with that, Lance leaned in and gave Kitty, er Andy, a kiss on the cheek. Andy gave Lance a frightened look, a startled squeak and then fell over.
"What's wrong? Moving too fast? Or maybe too slow." Lance finished with a sinister grin.
"Eeep." Andy managed. He barely rolled out of the way as Lance lunged for him.
"Should we help?" I asked Priya.
"Not now, being entertained."
I sighed. "Fine, I'll save poor little Andy all by myself."
I snuck up behind Lance, which wasn't very hard, considering how preoccupied he was with Kitty, er Andy.
But evidently Andy didn't need help. He kicked Lance, er, somewhere, and Lance fell over.
"Jeez Kitty, what's wrong with you? Usually you like this game."
"Eww, didn't wanna know." I said, and touched the side of Lance's face with my bare hand. He keeled over.
"Once again, Don't mess with the Rogue. Or poor defenseless little girly girls."
"Hey! I can't help who I became."
"Andy, you were like that *before* you became Kitty."
Andy glared at me. "Can we, like just get back to, like the mission?"
"Yes, Kitty." Priya and I were laughing too hard to walk properly. Of course, now that I was part Lance this made the ground shake.
And then Lance's memories started. And they were particularly bad since he had been just thinking about Kitty.
"EEEEEEW GET THEM OUTTA MY HEAD!" The ground started shaking even worse.
"What's wrong with her?" Priya asked, confused. I was currently shaking my head frantically screaming "GET'EM OUT, GET'EM OUT!"
"I think she got some memories." Andy, who was someone intelligent in the ways of the Xmen, explained to Priya.
"Well, she's gonna knock down the house if we don't stop her." Priya lightly smacked my cheek, which was a mistake on her part. She nearly fell over unconcious, and as it was she had to sit down, but it did a world of good for my head. Instead of horrific images of Lance and Kitty, I got a calm peaceful sense of mass destruction. Suddenly I wanted to hurt someone. And Andy was the first thing in my vision.
But then Lance came in and said that I couldn't hurt "his beloved" so the priya part and the Lance part got in a fight and there was a faint Andy part from earlier protesting the entire thing. The me part was trying not to knock down the city, let alone the house.
"Lance, knock it off." A voice screamed from upstairs. It sounded like the blob. So at least the blob wasn't anybody. Thank Goodness.
Fred froze as soon as he saw us. They he started running for Priya and leaped in the air at her. She dodged to the side, just in time.
"Beth, can you knock him out?"
"Noooo! I don't wanna touch the blob." He now leaped on top of Andy, who managed to phase when he was *supposed*.
"Eww, I was like, *in* the blob!"
"You can't make me touch him!"
The blob went for Priya again. "Beth, The blob is attacking your klein kurtikins again!"
"Thou shalt not harm mon petit kurtie!" I leapt for the blob before he reached the Kurt like figure who was really Priya. I started poking his face violently and with each jab there was a flash. I had lost my gloves while beating lance. Then I grabbed his ears and tugged him to the corner.
"You must never harm Kurtie again!" Except by now, he was out. Priya came up and tugged my hand off his ear before I accidentally killed him.
"That'll do Beth, that'll do."
"Hey, you're not Kurt, you're Priya. Aww, I did all that for nothing!" Priya huffed indignatly. "And now I feel all flubbery. Eww, the blob is sickening."
"C'mon, lets get back to finding everyone else."
My foot went through the first step. "Darn the blob and his fatness!" I was more careful for the rest. In the first door we found Wanda. I tried to poke her gently, but Andy and Priya wouldn't let me. It seems they thought it was a bad Idea for me to knock her out before I even woke up. Instead, Priya got the poking honors.
The girl's eyelids fluttered. Then she screamed.
"It seems we have a winner." Priya said in her usual sarcastic tones.
"So who are you?" I asked her eagerly.
"Who are you people?" She asked back.
"I asked first."
"WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!" she screamed, pointing accusingly at all of us. The streetlights outside flickered and exploded in a shower of sparks.
"Calm down, er, whoever you are. Its us, Beth, Priya, and Andy. We got turned into Xmen." I gestured at Wanda's mirror. "You're one too. So who are you anyway?"
"I'm Jenn. And that is *so* not me." She pointed at the mirror and it shattered. Andy squeaked.
"Yeah, Jenn, you're gonna have to not point at things. You're Wanda, and she tends to blow things up when she does that." I told her, being the Xmen expert that I was. She was still looking at the shards of glass and then reached up cautiously and touched her hair.
"Where's my hair? Where's my lovely, poufy hair!" The lightbulb in the lamp beside her bed cracked.
"Ooh, and don't get angry either. Whenever you're about to get mad, just remember, Andy's Kitty." Jenn smiled. "Now, c'mon, we've got to find the others. In the next room was a peacefully sleeping Pietro. I nudged Priya in the ribs. "Wake up your sweet prince, Priya." Priya glared at me, but remembered not to smack me just in time. Instead, she punched me on the arm.
Jenn went over and poked him roughly, sending a jolt of blue electicity through him and making all his hair stand on end. The person squealed. "EEEH! XMEN!"
"Staci?" She was the only other person who actually liked Xmen.
"EEEH KURT! I must be dreaming. Now where's that hottie, Pietro?"
"Er, Staci, you're not dreaming. And, er, look in a mirror." Staci looked in one of Pietro's many mirrors.
"EEH, It's Pietro! I've never been him in a dream before."
Jenn poked Staci again, making Pietro's white hair stand on end even more.
"Oww, don't do that! That hurts! Hey, stuff's not supposed to hurt in dreams."
"That's cause this is all real, unfortunately." Andy told her.
"Who're you?"
"Andy." Said Kitty sulkily. Staci laughed at him. "Poor Andy. But hey, I'm Pietro. That means I can run really fast!" She leapt out of bed in a blur and started running around the room.
"Whee, this is fun! But hey, how do you stop?" Staci ran into the wall, but that didn't stop her either. She kept smacking into it. Andy grabbed her elbow to hold her back, but now they just phased through the wall and Staci ran around with Andy flying around behind her.
Staci eventually ran towards the stairs. "Watch out!" Jenn screamed poufily. But Staci still couldn't stop. She tumbled gracefully down the stairs, Andy still attached to her elbow. At least it stopped her. All the noise seemed to wake up the occupant of the third room, who shrieked and then we heard sobbing.
Jenn poked her head in the room. "Hello? Are you Ok?" There was another scream and the sobbing increased. Staci and Andy returned upstairs, rubbing various bruises and together we ventured into the room.
Toad was staring at his reflection in the mirror. "What happened to me? AHH, more Xmen!"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Dan."
Andy perked up. "Dan, yes finally another guy!"
"Who are you?"
"Andy. And the other people are Beth, Priya, Staci, and Jenn."
"Beth?" Toad perked up. "Beth, what happened to us? I'm sure you can fix it, cause you're special." He looked at all the girls in turn with a sappy stare, not sure which one was actually me. Andy shuddered when Dan looked at him.
"I'm taking it he's not Good Dan." Andy said disappointedly.
"Of course not. I'm the other Dan." We all groaned. It was stalker Dan. "What?"
"Nothing."
"So I'm Toad, eh? That means I can hop around and stuff! And stick to the ceiling!" He demonstrated and as soon as he was properly adhered to the ceiling, he began laughing. Then he fell off the ceiling. "Well, at least it works sometimes."
"Only Dan could be happy about being toad." Andy muttered.
"Are you Beth? I knew you were. It's just an instinct I have." Andy's eyes widened as he froze and stared at Dan. "See, it must be fate, us both being characters that have animal names."
"Or maybe you're completley insane." Andy said, creeped out that Dan was flirting with him. "And I'm not Beth, I'm Andy."
Dan's face fell. "Oh." He turned then to Jenn. "You must be Beth then. It must be fate then, since Toad and Wanda love each other in the TV show."
"Or maybe you're completley insane. And Wand thinks Toad is a creep in the cartoon. Anyways, I'm Jenn."
Priya, in a spirit of meanness, shoved me forward because she figured that somehow this was all my fault anyway. "This is the real Beth."
"Er, hi." I stammered, trying to sidle away. Dan swooned with happiness.
"Ya know Dan, this must be fate, since Rogue can't touch anyone."
"Er, um, or maybe…" But I poked him on the arm with my ungloved hand and he fell over. But before he passed out, he mumbled "Wait, Andy is Kitty?"
"Quick, isn't he?" Priya said sarcastically.
"EWW! I'm slimy now." I screamed disgustedly, wiping my hands on Kitty's sleeve.
"Quiet down now midget." Andy said.
"Hey, I'm the tallest one now. YOU happen to be the current midget."
Andy crossed his arms with a sulky "hmph!"
"Well, if you two are done being stupid, we have to figure out where everyone else is and how to get home." Priya told us.
