DISCLAIMER: I think I know what you think I know what I think you know what you think I know what I think you know you what I think I know.
"Wow…dat's a lotta water…" Remy stared at the vast expanse of the falls.
"Is this Niagara?" Ray asked, rather stupidly.
"Nah, this be the Horseshoe Falls eh. Niagara's on the American side…an' it's smaller."
"Toad!! Pyro!! Get yer asses over here!! Your missin' out on a huge water faucet!!" Tabby yelled, as the two hydrophobes stood far away. They shook their heads violently, and John returned his attention to the small Zippo he had found lying on the ground. In several pieces.
"Fire to Ashes, Ashes to Dust, from the ground thee came, and from the ground thee shall return." John pushed the dirt back over the shallow grave, and covered the irreparable Zippo.
"You're obsessed yo!" Todd said after witnessing the quiet ceremony, and returned his attention to stealing from the passer-bys.
"Hey buddy, you seem like the type willin' to do anything to make a few bucks…" Todd turned to see a guy wearing a hooding whispering to him.
"Just about…I won't take a bath though yo!"
"That's fine, I just want you to sit in this barrel for a few minutes, and then I'll give you fifty bucks."
"Fifty bucks to sit in a barrel?!? You got yerself a deal!" Todd shook hands, and followed the guy to a barrel. John followed, mostly out of respect for the poor dead Zippo.
"So yer gonna sit in a barrel for 50 bucks mate?"
"Yup, hey, can't be too hard? Can it?"
"Would you get your Aussie buddy to sit in this barrel? I'll give him fifty bucks too…" Todd looked at St John with his best puppy dog eyes…which were…frightening…But John nodded his assent, and the two climbed into the barrels.
"Wow…it's…breathtaking…" Jean just stared at all the water.
"I need to go to the bathroom!" Jamie whined to no one in particular. "All this water is giving me the need to pee!!"
"You too? C'mon, let's go midget." Lance led Jamie away, and the two went in search of a bathroom.
"What a spectacular sight! It's no wonder that these falls are considered one of the seven wonders of the natural world…Gambit!! Can't you see that sign?!? No smoking!!" Beast was distracted by his nature induced reverie for a moment to chide Remy.
"It's not like Gambit can light up! Dere's too much water fallin' on 'is 'ead!" Remy protested.
"What's that?" Logan asked, spotting something in the middle of the river, being quickly pulled towards the falls.
"Probably just a dead branch…" Kitty replied, staring at the falls. "KURT!! GET BACK HERE!!" She shouted when the 'Crawler ported to a spot in the middle of the waterfall. He ported back, landing right next to her, soaking wet…and smelling like a wet dog…looking like a drowned rat.
Beast shook his head, but instead of returning his gaze to the enormous amounts of water falling off the edge of the falls, he looked at the object Logan had spotted earlier. Squinting, Beast could make out two separate objects, and there seemed to be moving.
"Scott," Beast approached the boy in shades while he was over at one of the viewing scopes. "Would you look over there?" Scott, being the little good boy that he is, took the binoculars off of Jean, and pointed them towards the river.
"Oh my God!! Todd's about to get the first bath of his life!!" The two small objects finally were close enough to be seen clearly, and they were barrels. With two figures on top of them. Fighting. John was trying to use Todd's tongue to paddle back upriver, while Todd was trying to demolish John's barrel for the same purpose. The large tour group watched with glee as Todd got the ultimate bath.
"It w-w-was s-s-so c-c-cold!" John said, as he shirvered underneath a blanket in the backseat of one of the vans. "A-a-and s-s-so wet!"
"Ummm…where are we now?" Scott asked. "Are we in Toronto?" Jean replied by pulling over, and asking for directions!
"No, miss, yer not in the Center of the Universe…Thank the fates, yer on the outskirts of Summerfolk. They're just getting ready for a huge music concert they hold about every year right about now eh. If you just follow this road, you'll get there in plenty of time eh." The owner of the gas station replied in response to Jean's query.
"Thank-you very much!" She pulled her head back into the van. "See? It isn't that difficult now, is it?" She smirked in Scott's direction, who curled up into a tiny little ball.
"So…where are we again?" Evan asked.
"Getting ready for a concert!! Which means tons of music and all sorts of good stuff! Wooo hooo!" Tabby began to dance wildly, while many of the other teens joined her.
"Wheee. Great. Another concert where Ah can go all crazy at." Rogue waved her finger in a circle.
"Anyone seen the Professor?" Scott asked suddenly.
"Uh, yeah, he was renting a car, and telling me not to…oops…" Fred trailed off.
"Nice going genius." Pietro tried to hit Fred over the head, but was stopped by Wanda, who held his feet to the ground, for no reason in particular.
"C'mon!! It'll be fun!! Wait…are you sayin' we lost a chaperone?!?" Tabby stopped in mid-sentence, and huge cheers erupted. Hank sighed. He was doomed.
"PARTAY!!" Kurt shouted, and began to dance his awful dance.
"GAAH!!" The music that came out of the speakers could only be described one way. Folk. And it was driving the temporary mutant population of Summerfolk crazy.
"It'll be fun she says! It'll be great times and music she says! TABITHA!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!" Wanda uncovered her ears, and began to hex her way through the crowd to get to Tabby. The crowd parted in a manner similar to butter, while Tabby had to fight for every centimeter that she gained. So she did the most illogical thing. She began to throw boomers everywhere. The crowd was dispersed in a matter of minutes, leaving no place for Tabby to hide from the wrath of Wanda. Anad Amara and Jean for singing their hair…and Kitty for singing her clothes. All four were out for her blood, so the guys, Rahne, and Jubilee did the most logical thing. They picked up several abandoned chairs, sat down, and enjoyed the show. Storm had disappeared again, but no one had really noticed as she's such a background character that the only way that she could draw attention to herself would be to have a secret affair with Sabretooth.

(AN: I Think I'm going to have far more fun with Mags and Mystique this chap…*evil grin smiley*)
Mystique trudged through the forest, Magneto once again behind her and complaining about his bucket. Also behind Mystique was the beaver, who Magneto had named Chucky, and a moose, which Magneto had named Magnus. Magnus the Moose and Chucky the Beaver were having a grand old time following the two mutants around in the woods. They knew exactly where they were. Mystique on the other hand…
"WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?!? AND DON'T YOU DARE EVEN THINK ABOUT SAYING CANADA!!!"
"Why think when I can be haaaaaapy!" Magneto replied dreamily. He took another drag on what looked like a cigarette.
"What's that?!?" Mystique demanded.
"Medicinal marijuana! It really helps prevent that no good goody-goody from reading my mind!"
"Where'd you get it?" Mystique asked cautiously, slipping into principal mode and treating Magneto exactly as she would have treated a student had she caught them smoking an illegal substance.
"There was a guy at a gas station a little while back, he was givin' it out for free…haaaaaaapy thoughts!!" Magnus the Moose and Chucky the Beaver snorted/sighed in agreement with Magneto.
Mystique sat down, and put her head in her hands. "Why me? What did I do to deserve this?"
"Well…You killed all those people…dumped your son in a river after allowing me to experiment on him…you-"
"SHUT UP MAGNETO!! I'm trying to think!!" Mystique sighed " If only Logan was here…he'd take me up in his great big strong arms…and hold on to me until I felt better…I know he would…and I'm sure wherever he is now, he's thinking of me and hoping he'll get to see me again. I just know it!!"
Magneto's 'happiness' had worn off during Mystiques little angsty time alone, and he fell over snickering. "Logan?!? I always thought'd it'd be creed!! What a pler your are Mystique!!"
"At least I haven't father so many damn kids I can't remember them all!!" The pair continued to walk deeper into the forest, and further north.

Xavier sat in his shiny new convertible, and sped around, allowing the wind to flow through the thick, luscious hair his companion had.
