Shipwreck and Storm's Joyride
"Todd will you please stop having a belching contest with my father?" Althea groaned. "I know that's what you two normally do anyway but still…"
The three of them were in the living room. "You're really a party pooper you know that?" Shipwreck folded his arms.
Kurt then teleported in with Amanda. Both of them were wearing bathing suits but were bone dry. "I don't believe it!" Amanda groaned.
"You don't believe it!" Kurt moaned. "Oh man I can't get that image out of my head! Help me please!"
"What image?" Todd asked.
"Storm…was swimming in the pool…" Kurt gasped.
"What's so bad about that?" Todd asked.
"Without a swimsuit!" Kurt yelled.
"Really?" Shipwreck perked his ears up. "Maybe I might take a swim!"
"You keep yourself put mister!" Althea shoved him back into his seat when he tried to get up.
"Jean you are so overreacting," Ororo walked in wearing a shirt and a towel around her waist. Jean was right behind her.
"You were swimming naked in the pool and you think I'm over reacting?" Jean shouted.
"What's the big deal?" Ororo looked at her. "There's nothing wrong with nudity. I mean back in Africa we swam naked all the time in the tribe I lived with."
"THIS IS NOT AFRICA!" Jean shouted. "And as long as you live in this mansion you will abide by the rules! What the hell did I just say?" She cringed. "Did I just turn into my mother?"
"Does she have a hot body too?" Shipwreck asked.
"Somebody hit him please?" Jean groaned. Althea whacked him upside the head. "Thank you."
"Jean you are so totally behind the times," Ororo grabbed an apple and munched on it.
"Your behind is going to be totaled if you don't watch it young lady!" Jean snapped. "Don't roll your eyes at me! Did I just say that? Oh god I am sounding exactly like my mother!"
"Ooh! Give her a spanking!" Shipwreck shouted. "I'd love to see that!" Althea again whacked him on top of the head. "What? I'm just helping her out with the discipline around here!"
"Oh she'll get help all right," Althea pounded her fist into the palm of her hand.
"Okay this is not funny!" Bobby shouted as he and Scott walked into the kitchen. "Which one of you made it snow in my room?"
"Gee Iceman that's a tough call," Scott said sarcastically. "I mean the human or the mutant with weather control powers. Hmmmm? Who could it be?"
"I was trying to give her a chance to confess," Bobby glared at Scott.
"Nice cover," Todd remarked.
"Ororo I think maybe we need a little training session in the Danger Room," Scott told her.
"Oh man those sessions are so lame," Ororo groaned.
"Well I think it's time you burnt off some of that extra energy," Scott folded his arms.
"Why doesn't he have to train?" Ororo pointed at Shipwreck.
"Shipwreck doesn't have any powers," Bobby told her. "Duh!"
"That may not be a bad idea though," Kurt said.
"Yeah the sooner we get them tired out the sooner these two will grow up," Todd pointed out. "Like Forge said. That reminds me, is he still up in that tree?"
"Last time I checked," Amanda told him.
"This stinks!" Ororo stomped upstairs.
"Aw come on," Shipwreck hopped after her. "It'll be fun! I'll help you get changed!"
"You keep your hands to yourself mister!" Scott shouted.
"You gotta love the irony of this situation," Todd snickered.
"I'll love it even more when those two are back to their right ages!" Scott told him.
Ten minutes later. "Storm will you hurry up!" Scott pounded on the door. "How long does it take for you to get changed? Storm?" He opened the door to her room. She was nowhere in sight. The window was open. "Storm?"
"Hey Summers! We can't find Shipwreck anywhere!" Todd hopped up to him.
"Storm's gone too," Scott said. "She must have flown out the window!"
"SCOTT YOU'D BETTER GET DOWN HERE!" Tabitha shouted.
They ran downstairs and out the open door. Tabitha pointed. They opened their mouths and gasped as they watched Shipwreck drive off in Scott's car. Ororo used her lightning to open up the gate. "This is not good is it?" Todd gulped. The other mutants ran up to see what had happened.
"What's going on?" Sam asked.
"MY CAR!" Scott shouted. "The little punk stole my car!"
"My credit cards!" Jean shouted. "STORM STOLE MY CREDIT CARDS!"
"You have credit cards?" Tabitha looked at her.
"For emergencies," Jean fumed. "I can't believe this!"
"Neither can I!" Bobby said. "I can't believe they went on a joyride and didn't take me!"
Everyone glared at Bobby. "Uh…Just kidding," He smiled nervously.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Althea shouted. "Let's go after them before they do some real damage!"
"Forge you are so dead!" Jean fumed.
"I know! I know!" Forge groaned.
************************************************************************
"YEEEEHA!" Shipwreck yelled. "To be young, riding fast in a hot car with an even hotter babe by my side!"
"Cool!" Ororo yelled as she blared on the radio. "HEY! BUDDY! MOVE IT OR LOSE IT!" She created a gust of wind to blow an illegally parked car off the road and onto the sidewalk. "Now this is more like it!" Ororo laughed. "To the mall!"
"You got it babe!" Shipwreck put his foot to the floor and tore down the street. He heard a siren. "Aw man! The cops!"
"No problem!" Ororo created a small snowstorm, which created a mini snow bank for the car to crash into.
"Now that was cool," Shipwreck nodded. "Hang on!"
He tore down the streets so fast and recklessly Mario Andretti would have been jealous. Cars swerved and crashed into each other to get out of his way. "HEY IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY I DRIVE GET OFF THE SIDEWALK!" Shipwreck shouted as several drivers vocally expressed their opinions.
Meanwhile most of the mutants from the mansion had crowded into Jean's SUV. "Why did everyone pile up in my SUV?" Jean groaned as she drove.
"Because we didn't want to be left behind with Xi and Forge," Todd remarked. "OW! Hey Elf! Get your fuzzy elbow out of my ear!"
"Well you get your smelly foot out of my lap!" Kurt snapped.
"Actually that's my foot," Bobby remarked. "Sorry."
"Okay whose hand is on my butt?" Tabitha snapped.
"Uh I think it's mine," Amanda said.
"No your hand is over here under my knee," Althea said.
"Well it's not mine!" Remy snapped. "My hands are trying to keep from being squashed by Sam over here."
"Oh well I guess I've got my hand…" Sam blushed.
"Oh never mind," Tabitha waved. "It's okay."
"Will you guys quit fooling around back there?" Jean asked.
"Well it's kind of hard not to with all of us crammed in here," Scott said. "We've got ten people in a car that can only hold six!"
"Why didn't Xi come with us?" Sam asked.
"One, it's always good to leave someone behind in case we need bail," Todd remarked. "And B, we needed someone to make sure Forge stayed locked in the closet."
"Oh man look at the road!" Rogue pointed.
"I'd love to but I can't see the windows," Bobby groaned.
"Well if you could you'd see nothing but trashed cars, fires caused by lightning and piles of snow everywhere," Scott told him.
"Man and I thought Kitty was a bad driver!" Bobby groaned.
"But where are they going?" Jean asked.
"Think Jean, they're two fifteen year olds with a hot car, a lot of spending money and an urge to show off," Tabitha said.
"THE MALL!" Everyone shouted at the same time.
"It's gonna end up trashed again, I know it," Rogue groaned.
