Disclaimer: "Holy rusted metal, Batman!" OMG! I don't own any of the
characters!
Hey everyone! Sorry it took so long but I'm back in school and I've been having muse problems and I've been indulging my muse by writing pieces of other stories so. it took a long time. Demonskittlez: I would like to tell you that your review of the last chapter made it all the funnier to me. That's so weird!
On with the show.

"I win," Colossus exclaimed.
"Remy think you cheated," the Cajun remarked.
"Cheated? You had a head start!"
" Yes, but then you tripped Gambit."
"You tripped on the curb; how can that be my fault?"
"Remy knows you cheated and when Remy finds evidence you will be sorry," he glared.
"You're impossible," Colossus exclaimed, throwing his arms into the air in exasperation.
"Keep it down," Pyro exclaimed.
" Why? You're not doing anything important."
Pyro stormed down the stairs, "I'll have you know I've been very busy writing my book."
"But.the muse," Gambit whined.
" I don't need a muse," Pyro beamed.
"That's wonderful," Colossus congratulated. " Isn't that wonderful, Gambit?" He turned to the dumbstruck Cajun who was standing with his mouth hanging open.
" What do you mean you don't need a muse," Gambit exclaimed.
"See," John told him placing a manuscript in the Cajun's hands, " I wrote it myself."
"You mean to tell me that all this time we wasted running around, handing out flyers and getting kissed by old ladies you've been writing?" He pushed the story over to Colossus, " I'm going to."
"Oh look, pictures," Colossus exclaimed.
"What do you mean pictures? You mean he illustrated it too?"
"Read it," John pursued.
"Give Gambit that," Gambit snapped, snatching the book out of Piotr's grasp. He cleared his throat before reading aloud, " See Spot run. Run, Spot, run. See Dick run. Run, Dick, run. Dick sees Jane. Run, Jane. What a piece of crap! This is the worst great American novel Gambit has ever seen. Not only is it a picture book but it has also been written before for small school children."
" But, Gambit, I."
" You are not allowed to go near a writing implement until we get you a muse."
"But, Gambit."
"No buts, now go to your room.er.Gambit means the den! There's no writing implements in there, only a brain-washing media center we call a television set. And don't come out until Gambit says so."
" Are we playing Gambit says," Colossus asked.
"Yes, we are," the Cajun told him. " Now Gambit says, " Make Gambit a sandwich because Gambit is famished."

Pyro sighed, looking around the empty den. Sabertooth had managed to destroy all the really good stuff, leaving the Aussie with bare walls, a couple of folding chairs and a television. Pyro looked around the room for any hidden treasures until he struck gold. a small piece of crayon had been left on the floor from Pietro's science project. The little brat had refused to pick up after himself, insisting that his "daddy" didn't care. So, the responsibility had fallen to Sabertooth, who's idea of cleaning was picking up random objects and throwing them in a garbage bag until someone chose to sort through it. He was sloppy, and in his haste had left Pyro with a way to amuse himself. If he couldn't write a story he would draw it.all over the walls.

Colossus glanced sideways at Gambit. "Do you have any two's," he asked.
"Go fish."
" Hey, Gambit?"
"Oui?"
"What do you think John is doing downstairs?"
"Hopefully he's preparing himself for seeing many gorgeous muses tomorrow. Do you have any nines?"
He handed the Cajun a card, "Da. When are we going to let him come back up here so we can eat dinner together?"
"When he admits what he wrote is crap. Sevens?"
"Go fish. Can I go see if he's ready?"
"Why?"
"Because I would like to order a pizza and I'm hungry."
" Gambit supposes."
" Thank you." Colossus got up from his seat."
" Wait," Gambit exclaimed. " You can't go yet. We need to finish the game first."
