"Come in" Professor Charles Xavier called to whoever had been knocking at his office door. Storm stepped in.
"'ello Gov'ner- I mean, Professor" she said.
"Um, hello Ororo, you're voice..."
"That's the problem!" she said "Me voice changed, an' I don't know what to do!"
"You, sound- English" he said.
"Really? So that's it then? I've been tryin' to figure it out all day!"
"And" the professor searched for something to say "Do you have any idea how this happened?"
"No"
"Do you mind if I read you're mind?"
"No, not at all Gov'ner!"
"Don't call be 'Gov'ner' again please"
"Sorry" And so he entered her mind.

"Well? Do you like it?" Kitty asked enthusiastically as Rogue taste-tested her first fried chicken recipe.
"Uh, yeah, it's good-" Rouge said.
"YES!!!" Kitty jumped up and shouted.
"-but nothin' like we got in the South" Kitty's smile disappeared.
"Wha- whaddya mean?" she asked, lip quivering.
"Well, it's good, very good, but it ain't southern fried chicken."
"I can make southern fried chicken!"
"Usually you have to be southern to make southern fried chicken. Or at least be livin' in the South"
"Well what's so great about the south?" Kitty huffed.
"A lot of thing" Rogue sighed "Ah really miss that place sometimes"
"Aren't you from Mississippi?"
"No, Ah'm from Okalahoma"
"Oklahoma?"
Rogue: O-klahoma,
Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain!
And the wavin' wheat
Can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain!
O-klahoma
Ev'ry night all my friends and I
Would sit together and talk
And watch the hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky!
Oh-
"Hey!" said Sam, coming into the room "Ah'm from Oklahoma too!"
"Really?
"Yeah, they just forgot to give me an accent, but now Ah got one!"
"Great!"
Rogue and Sam: O-klahoma,
Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain!
And the wavin' wheat
Can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain!
O-klahoma
Ev'ry night all my friends and I
Would sit together and talk
And watch the hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky!
We know we belong to the land!
And the land we belong to his grand!
And we say:
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We're only sayin'
"You're doin' fine,
Oklahoma!
Oklahoma! O.K.!
"So..." Kitty said "You really love Oklahoma, but you move to New York?"
"Ah wouldn't have if it weren't for Mystique!" Rogue snapped. Shadowcat turned to Sam.
"Shut up"

"It seems" he said "that a very powerful mutant has used his powers to tap into your voice box and change you're accent"
"Are accents controlled by the voice box?"
"Yes" he hoped he was right "Anyway Ororo, I believe that the only thing to do is to teach you how to talk normally again"
"Will that be 'ard?"
"Yes. Now sit down"

"Kurt, do you know where the Professor is?" Scott asked his friend "I need to give him this paperwork."
"Ja, he's in his office vith Storm, but I vouldn't go in zere! They've been zere all night. Some people are saying zat Storm got a veird accent and zat ze Professor is trying to fix it." Scott raised and eyebrow.
"Well if that's the case, I'll just go in and put these on his desk" Scott walked to the Professor's office.
"Okay, try saying this- Scott?"
"Sorry to disturb you Professor but-"
"Scott! This is a very important and difficult task I'm performing and I can't have you getting in the way!" Xavier turned back to Storm "Now, Ororo, I want you to say 'the rain in Spain stays mainly in the Plane'"
"The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" she said, but with her new accent it sounded like "The rine in Spine stays minly in the pline"
"Um, Professor, do you need any help?" Scott offered.
"Yes"
A few hours later...
"Okay, okay, forget the rain!" Xavier said "try doing your h's" Scott and Ororo groaned, but the professor ignored them 'say: In Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly happen'"
"In 'artford, 'ereford an' 'ampshire, 'urricanes 'ardly 'appen"
"Maybe we should so back to the rain" Scott suggested.
"Good idea. Ororo?"
"The rine in Spine falls minly in the pline"
"No, no, no! The rain! Aaay!"
"Look, why don't you just go into my mind an' sort everythin' out!"
"Because accents are controlled by the voice box!"
"No they're not-"
"Shut up Scott!"
"Oh come on professor, we've been here for hours! It's three A.M.!"
"Let her try one more time" There was a long pause but then Ororo said:
"The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain" both men looked at her.
"Again" Xavier ordered.
"The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain!"
"Scott she's got it!" the Professor shouted.
Ororo: The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain!
Xavier and Scott: She's got it!
Ororo: The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain!
Xavier: Now once again, where does it rain?
Ororo: On the plain! On the plain!
Xavier: And where's that soggy plain?
Ororo: In Spain! In Spain!
All: The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain!
The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain!
Xavier: In Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire...?
Ororo: Hurricanes hardly happened!
Xavier: Now once again, where does it rain?
Ororo: On the plain! On the plain!
Xavier: And where's that blasted plain?
Ororo: In Spain! In Spain!
All: The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the... PLAIN!
"Well that went well" Xavier commented.
