Hey all, I posted another chapter and it didn't take me forever either, yay! Hope you enjoy this chapter. Talk to ya later.

"That's not my toothbrush," John wailed.
"Sure it is," the Russian consoled, holding the toothbrush up to the Aussie's face. "You have the red toothbrush."
"No, the red one is Remy's. Mine is the red one with the black flames outlined in gold."
"But, this is your toothbrush. Remy changed his yesterday. The only reason you do not see the flames is because my hand is hiding them, see?" Colossus moved a couple of his fingers to demonstrate how his hand hid the design. " Now will you brush them?"
"My toothpaste is always Tooty Fruity."
"We are all out of Tooty Fruity, but we do have Aquafresh. See, it is special too, see the red, green and white stripes?"
"It still tastes like mint. That's yicky."
"How about you brush your teeth with the Aquafresh and then I give you a Jolly Rancher to take the minty taste away. The Jolly Rancher has grape, and green apple, and fruit punch."
"That defeats the purpose of brushing my teeth not to mention it will taste twice as yicky afterwards because mint and natural fruit flavors don't mix."
"Fine, either you brush your teeth with the toothbrush and toothpaste or you can do what they did in the old country long before I was born and use a handkerchief to wipe your teeth off. I just so happen to have one in my pocket." He pulled the colorful square out of his pocket and waved it in front of John's face which was screwed into a look of uncertainty until he opened his mouth.
"Give me the toothbrush," he told the Russian. Colossus smiled smugly as he watched Pyro 'foam at the mouth' brushing his teeth. He must have been going for a world record because he soon spit a mouthful of suds into the sink and proclaimed, "I'm done", before dropping his toothbrush into the waste paper basket and rinsing his hands and face.
"What did you do that for? There was nothing wrong with the toothbrush."
" Oh yes there was, it was contaminated."
"Contaminated with what, the spit from your mouth?"
"It was contaminated by the Aquafresh."
"You have to be kidding me. You could not have simply rinsed it off and put it back in the holder?"
"No, because I would still know that it had been touched by mint-flavored paste and therefore I could never brush my teeth with the Tooty Fruity without knowing I had betrayed it's trust with that very brush. Best to get rid of the evidence."
"Ah ha, well, we are wasting time. Gambit has probably long since set your clothes out on the bed. Why don't you go get dressed?"
"Okyday."

Colossus had to admit that John looked quite spiffy in his black dress shirt and khakis, the picture of a soon to be successful writer.
"Where's my pen," John asked, feeling his pockets.
"Here is a pen, mon ami."
"But, that's not my pen."
"John, it's a pen like any other pen. Does it make a difference?"
John thought for a second before taking out his lighter and melting the back end of the pen. "There, now it doesn't."
"Good, now let's go, the muses are waiting." ************************************************************************ I know, it's a short chapter and probably should have been mushed into the last chapter to make both of them longer but I couldn't wait to post the last one and didn't realize that I would be done with this one so soon. Anyways, just to let you know, I don't own Aquafresh even though you might have thought I did, I don't. With any luck I'll have another chapter up soon. See ya.
