This took too long. I know. Sorry. I just had no idea where to end this chapter and begin another. Plus there's the little problem of writer's block. Damn writer's block! Damn it to hell!!!

Disclaimer: No, gosh darn it, I DON'T own X Men Evo! Get off my back! Geez!!!

Shootouts(!!!):

Your point: I liked the demented laugh. I'll use it...if you don't sue me for copyright. Also liked this --- ^_^ By the way, do you want a Ding Dong? Here you go! *throws chocolate treat*

Krazy-For-You: Thank you, I know I'm sooooo smart/demented. That's why all my freaky friends like me so much. Oh and of course I'll write more; do you actually think I'm gonna stop now? I'm on a roll! :) And just because you liked it so much you get a Ding Dong too!

Dont-eat-chunky-pudding: sure I'll read ur stuff...but only if you promice to read mine! You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours! Speaking of which, I've got this little thing a little to the right...

Demonic-Gambit: 'kay, it's good to hear that everyone laughed. That was mainly the point. As for the kidnapping thing...it was just some sick little idea I've had for some time now and I just had to put it in writing. She'll get away, don't worry!

DING DONGS FOR THE WORLD!!!

3. A GREAT RESCUE TEAM

"Professor, she's been gone for too long! Don't you think we should at least go ask if anyone has seen her?" Jean asked.

"I don't know Jean," Professor Xavier put his hand to his chin.

"True she wanted to get away for a while but...why so long?" Scott said. "She should have been back!"

The Professor had gone quiet. For once in his life he had no clue as to what he should do.

"X Men," he finally managed to say, "I want you to all go to your rooms. I'll try and find Rogue through Cerebro and call you as soon as I have any results."

They all did as told, even though none felt it was the right thing. Scott disagreed completly of the Professor's decision. And this was a first for Scott!

Because Rogue was gone and also because Kitty didn't want to feel lonely Tabby came in her room and they both started talking.

"I don't know about you girl but I think the Prof is in a bit of a predicament," Tabby said as she flipped through a magazine. "I mean did you see the look on his face when he was talking to all of you?"

"Yeah, I did...hey, wait a second, how do YOU know about that?" Kitty asked.

"Oh we're specialized in this stuff. I mean why should you guys have all the fun? Me, Bobby and a few of the other kids found this really cool place behind one wall and...umm, let's not talk about that now. We've got other stuff on our hands!"

"You know, I, like, really miss her..."

"Everyone does...strangely."

They stood there in uncomfortable silence for a couple of seconds. Then Tabby got a bright idea!!!

"Hey, you know what? WE could go after her."

"What, like, no way! I did this once with Rogue and...well, it wasn't very fun. To put it mildly."

"So what else can we do? Cerebro can't detect her unless she uses her powers. That could take hours, days...maybe never! We have to do something!"

"I don't know...we should, like, ask Scott and Jean about this too."

"You forgot me!" Kurt suddenly bamfed on the bed.

"AAAAAAAAA!" Kitty shreaked.

"Ah, Blue Boy...what are you doing in here? This is a girls' bedroom, should have knocked first!" Tabby smiled.

"Uh...hehe, sorry! I just heard you talking about Rogue and thought I'd join in."

"Good. So there's three of us now. Scott and Jean can't possibly say no!" Tabby proudly announced.

"Come on! How long does it take 'im? How long could it POSSIBLY take???" Remy said annoyed as he and Rogue(paciently) waited for Pyro to come out of the gas station bathroom. "We been waitin here for more dan 15 minutes."

"Maybe he's puking on account o' yer drivin'!" Rogue said in a bored tone.

"Whaddya mean?"

"Ah mean ya drive like crazy!"

"Remy don't drive like anyt'in. He drive normal."

"Ya were on tha other side of tha road!!!"

"Oh...well...Remy can explain dat. You see dere was too much traffic on his side so Remy decided to go in de other lane. Just for a short while though." Rogue gave him a look full of disbelief. "Come on St. John!" he snarled.

Finally he could see the pyromaniac in the rearview mirror running towards the car with his arms full of plastic bags.

"Did you buy de whole store? T'ought you were supposed to be in de bathroom anyway," Remy said as the orange haired australian stepped inside the van.

"Oh no, but I did find Ding Dongs. I love Ding Dongs! And look at all the cool 1$ bills I got."

"Whatever..." Remy sighed and started the car.

Pyro grabbed a few Ding Dongs for himself and threw the rest of the bags in the back. Over Rogue.

"Hey! Whaddya think yer doin'?" she yelled and pushed her way out from beneath the unhealthy but terribly delicious sweets. "Ah ain't no trash bin, ya know!"

Pyro however was too busy nibbling on his Ding Dong to even consider what Rogue had said.

"Ugh!" she growned and sat back down. "Are they ever gonna rescue me?"

***

"Guys, I really don't think we should be doing this!" Jean backed into a corner.

"Come on Jean! Even Scott has agreed to this!" Tabby tried to convince the incredibly smart and atractive and popular(...blah...blah...) red head. "And, well, you know how he is..." she whispered.

"Hey, I heard that!" Scott protested.

"I was trying to prove a point! Now are you coming along or do we leave without you. Does THE TEAM leave without you?" Tabby turned sneaky.

"What?!? I can't leave THE TEAM! I'll have to go with you. For THE TEAM!!"

Kitty pulled Tabitha aside.

"How'd you do that? I, like, can't get her to go shopping with me!"

"You just gotta make her look at the problem from the angle you want her to. Easy!" she smiled and walked down the corridor, occasionally throwing a boom ball at...stuff.

A couple of minutes later the team of Kurt, Kitty, Scott, Jean and Tabby, whom I've just randomly inserted, was prowling the streets, looking for clues as to the location of their fellow team mate, Rogue(this is startin to sound like Sherlock Holmes, ain't it? sorry!). They didn't find much though.

"I think we should go back to the Institute. The Professor has probably noticed we've been gone," Scott said.

"Yes, that's a great idea Scott! Ahh, never would have thought of that!" Jean jumped to agree with Specs just because she's so in love with him and his sexy red sunglasses. Oh and also because she didn't want to get in trouble with the Professor. Like they weren't in trouble already!

"Hey guys, come here! I think I found something!" Kurt called from...umm, somewhere far away.

"What?"

"Look at THIS!" he pointed towards a long trail of Dind Dong wrappers leading up the street. And yes, those WERE the same wrappers Pyro had thrown out the window of the van carring so little about the enviroment. Such a crime, such a crime...!

"You know what? I bet if we follow this trail we'll find something!" Scott inteligently deducted. WOW!

'Damn!!!' Jean thought.

HALF AN HOUR LATER!

"Hey, the trail ends here...in the middle of the road!" Kurt said as he bamfed back to the group.

"Know what? I bet there's a secret trap door around here! Start searching!" Scott had obviously had another one of his brain storms.

Everyone just stared.

"Umm, Scott...it might be, like, a wild guess but don't you think that it's more likely that the person ran out of Ding Dongs?" Kitty said.

"Well if you want to be all 'logical' about it...!" Scott crossed his arms.

"Oh man!" Tabby slapped her forehead

"So what now?" Kurt asked.

"I know! We go back to the Institute and ask the Professor!" Jean jumped.

"Umm...no!" everyone else...jumped.

***

"Are we gittin there already? We've been driving for hours! How far can this place be?" Rogue groaned.

"Chere, Remy warnin you. Don't get all annoyin on us."

"Or whut?"

"Or we gonna hurt you very bad."

"How? Ya can't touch me!"

"Chere..."

Okay, I think you got the point! This went on for some time. A long time.

***

MEANWHILE!!!

"I knew it, I just knew it! How in the world could I be so stupid as to follow YOU?" Tabby stomped her feet.

"I'm sorry..." Scott said as he seamed to smallen by the minute. "I just thought that the road was too obvious and they HAD to have gone through the forest."

"Too obvious? For a van?"

"Maybe it's a smart van..."

"A van can't go any other way than the road! It can't tell right from wrong. IT'S A VAN!!!"

"Okay, okay, easy Tabby!" Kitty tried to calm Boom Boom down.

"You know I have the perfect solution for this problem," Jean said. "We go back to the Institute and ask the Professor!"

"And you...!" Tabby tried hard to NOT blow Jean up.

"Guys, guys, come on! We're here to save Rogue. Remember?" Kurt bamfed between Jean and Boom Boom.

"Oh yeah..." everyone(excepting Kurt) said.

Then came a whole lot of "Sorry, I was wrong. No I was wrong. No I was. I was. I was.". That bored the hell out of me so I'll just get to the more interesting stuff.
