A/N: Tada! Second chapter ^_^ Someone asked why Scott was suddenly very
straight forward right after he got hit by the Pink Arrow. You see...when
Onyx Eyes is Cupid, she tends to poison her arrows to force the victim to
exaggerate his or her feelings...whether it's lust, love, or hate. In
Scott's case, I shot him with an extra poisoned arrow because I am an evil
and naughty Cupid who deserves to choke on something for everything she's
done. But since that's not gonna happen anytime soon, I'll continue to
spread my wicked deeds throughout this chapter. I've already decided which
arrow will hit whom, so I'll just apologize now for any sudden desires to
wring the author's neck. And to the person who wanted Fred to be
loved...I'm afraid you'll be especially disappointed with what I have
planned for him.
~*~*~
Onyx, with her legendary bad aim, shot arrow after arrow toward Todd, who was hopping around the living room in excitement. Wanda had gone upstairs to change for their date, and he was obviously delighted.
Okay, so maybe Onyx's aim wasn't that bad -the arrows missed Todd by mere inches- but she sure felt it was. Just when she was going to shove an arrow into his head with her bare hands, he settled on top of a tipped-over armchair and watched a fly buzz around the room. His tongue shot out, and Onyx quickly strung the arrow and let it fly. But she underestimated his tongue's speed. It sprung back to the safety of his mouth, out of harm's way. The arrow rushed past him into Fred's stomach as he walked in with Lance.
"Uhh...I think I'm getting hungry again," he said.
"You just ate our weekly supply of food," Lance grumbled.
When Fred turned to him, a stupid smile suddenly crossed his chubby face and he wrapped an arm around the thinner boy. "You wanna grab a bite at that burger place with me, then?"
Lance shook his arm off irritably. "Quit acting gay...I'm gonna be late meeting Kitty if Wanda doesn't hurry up." His brow furrowed as he looked at Todd. "Speaking of which, how did you get her to go out with you, anyway?"
Todd was still chewing his fly, and bits of fly guts sprayed out of his mouth as he talked, nearly hitting Onyx. She squeaked in revulsion and backed away.
"Must be my good looks and charm, yo," he replied. At Lance's disbelieving gaze, he said, "I dunno. When we went outside, she suddenly leaped at me and became all kissy-kissy."
"Ugh, she's probably not feeling very well," Lance said in disgust and turned to the stairs.
"So how 'bout it?" Fred asked him, scooting closer. "Me and you...later?"
"Hey, back off! What's your problem?!" Lance snapped. "Are you okay???"
Fred's arms shot out to crush him in a bear hug. "Never better!"
"AHHH! Lemme go!" Lance was dangling two feet off the ground and his legs were kicking helplessly in the air.
Todd watched this in utter confusion. Onyx adjusted her quiver (A.K.A. arrow carrying thingy, hehe) and took a seat at the torn couch, sickeningly enjoying the scene before her. Tabitha passed by the hallway and waved to them.
"Lance, I'm gonna borrow your jeep again. For some reason, I just gotta see that blue fuzz ball from the geek squad..."
Ah-HA! Onyx shot straight up from the couch in her crazed excitement and crashed into the ceiling. The Brotherhood members all looked toward the direction of the sudden sound. Then they glanced down as Onyx landed with a thump on the floor. But because she was invisible, they took the noise as Wanda's powers and turned away again.
"No, I have to drive Toad and Wanda somewhere. Then I have to pick up Kitty for our own date and - STOP IT, FRED!" He ran from Blob, who tried to wrap him in another hug.
Onyx sat up and rubbed at the bump on her head. "Ow."
"Isn't he cute?" Fred asked, reaching out to pinch Lance's cheek.
Avalanche hopped away and took refuge behind Tabitha.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked Fred.
"Nothing," he replied simply and winked at his admiree.
Wanda finally came downstairs, dressed in a black and red striped tank top and jeans. She'd stripped herself of her jewelry except for her cross earrings and bracelets. Todd jumped from the armchair.
"Hey, sweetums. Ready to go?" he asked her.
"Yeah. Come on."
She and Todd walked out of the door, followed by Tabitha, Lance, Fred, and Onyx. But just as Onyx made it outside, Fred shut the door...on her left wing! She yelped as she was pulled back and hung on the door like an ornament. It hurt like hell, but she couldn't let them leave without her. So she grabbed the wing...and PULLED. Onyx landed on the ground (on her ass, might I add) after yanking herself free. Several feathers were still stuck in the door and she angrily made a mental note to come back for them. Her wing was broken and she couldn't fly (go ahead, laugh at me, lol) so she quickly got up and ran to the jeep, hopping in the back just as it sped off.
~*~*~
Onyx was in an exceptionally bad mood by the time Lance drove to the institute with Fred (who insisted on staying at his side) and Tabitha (who was dying to see Kurt). In choppy movements, she heatedly gathered her bow and arrows together and followed the three mutants out, her dead wing trailing limply after her on the ground.
Lance, who was given special privileges on Xavier's grounds, walked right up to the front door and rung the doorbell without activating the alarm systems. Ororo came to the door and smiled at them welcomingly. Her smile probably wouldn't be there if she could have seen Onyx's dark scowl.
"Lance, Tabitha, Fred. Please, come in. Kitty is...a little preoccupied in the back yard at this moment. I was not aware that this was a double date," she said.
"It's not. I'm here to see the fuzzy elf," Tabitha said. She glanced at Fred. "As for him, I'm not exactly sure what he's doing here."
Ororo placed her finger on her chin as a thinking gesture. "Hmm, funny how you should mention Kurt. He's at the back with Kitty and Rahne. You may go see them if you like."
"Thanks, we'll do that." Lance made his way toward the back door, Fred and Tabitha -especially Fred- close behind.
Onyx stomped after them, murderous images that included methods of mutilating Fred's body into a corpse running through her head. They made her feel a little better.
Roberto passed by, giving the three Brotherhood members a curious look. Onyx half-heartedly snatched an arrow from her quiver and shot it at him. A few seconds after it hit his nose, everyone at the mansion could hear Ororo's furious yell.
"ROBERTO! COME HERE AT ONCE!"
The poor guy jumped in terror then hurried to the main room where she was waiting. Onyx gave a satisfied "hmph" and hurried to catch up to Lance.
Kitty and Rahne were still dueling it out in the backyard, and Kurt was desperately trying to stop them.
"Girls, please-" he was saying.
"It's one or the other, Kurt!" Rahne yelled. She was in her half-girl half-wolf form.
"Like, yeah! Pick one of us or we fight to the death!" Kitty chimed in.
"The death?!?!" Kurt shrieked.
Tabitha walked toward them, hands at her hips. "Whoa, what's going on here?"
The two other girls turned to her. "We're fighting for Kurt!"
A smirk lit her face. "Oh. Well, carry on."
Kurt ran to her, waving his arms in the air. "Don't encourage them! They'll get hurt!"
Tabitha grabbed hold of the front of his shirt and pulled him close. "Listen, neither of those idiots is good enough for you. I say that you ditch them and come with me."
Rahne's ears perked up. "I heard that! Looks like I've got another rival."
"What? Tabitha? This is like so totally wrong!" Kitty exclaimed and faced the Brotherhood girl. "Back off, Tabitha. We got first dibs on him!"
Tabitha let Kurt go and brought her hands together. "Nah, I say the winner takes all. Lemme join your little fight and we'll see who that'll be." She raised her hands to her face and blew the little bombs that had appeared.
The two X-girls yelped and scrambled out of the way of the explosions. Lance hurried to Kitty, deeply bewildered.
"Kitty, what's going on? We have a date, remember?"
She waved at him dismissively. "Sorry, Lance, but I don't think that we should be going out anymore. I'm like totally in love with Kurt."
His face displayed shock. "Say wha-?"
"No, I love Kurt!" Rahne yelled and charged at her. More bombs rolled onto her path, however, and she had to veer away.
"I betcha your little X-suits that I love him the most," Tabitha said, laughing as she tossed more bombs around.
"Stop it, Tabitha!" Kurt shouted after a bomb nearly blew his tail off.
"Sorry, sweetie, but you'll have to get out of the way so you don't get hurt," she called to him and blew him a kiss.
The three girls resumed attacking each other, leaving Lance standing by himself, still shocked. Fred went over to comfort him, but he dodged his teammate's arms and marched toward Kurt.
"All right, what the hell have you done to Kitty?" he demanded.
Kurt stepped back and put his hands up. "I swear I didn't do anything! Ich spiele mit Evan in der-" In his near-panicked state he had lapsed into German as he tried to explain to Lance what had happened.
Onyx didn't understand much German, but she understood enough to know that he had no idea how Kitty and Rahne had become smitten with him. Finding the events dull, she turned and *walked* into the mansion to find out what had happened to Rogue.
~*~*~
A/N: Haha, I decided to somehow get myself hurt on each chapter just to give the readers a small ounce of pleasure at seeing me in pain. I was hoping to stick Rogue in this chapter, but I guess I wrote too much on the Brotherhood scene when I was in class. Oh well. I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the next chapter to see which arrow hit her. Thanks for the reviews, guys. I'm glad you like this fic so far ^_^ ((BTW, if anyone out there knows German, could you teach me more? I took German I last year when I was a freshman, but I switched to Spanish this year x.x))
