I own nothing! Except Chi and Chu!

Chu: Chapter 7

"Hey, Kitty, can I borrow your computer? You owe me, remember?" I asked, when I reached the top floor, where the bedrooms were located. I didn't really want to return to my room yet, since I figured that they would be waiting for me there.

"Go ahead." The girl said, looking up from her homework at me. "Oh, did you hear about the slimy new guy that your sister was hanging out with earlier today? They came and went into your room, then fried downstairs. We just barely got the electricity back on. The classes were canceled for the rest of the day until the damage was fixed."

"Really? Cool." I said, sitting at her computer, "The new guy? Why would she be here with Wolverine? After all, she joined Magneto. Why would she come back?"

"She joined Magneto?!" Kitty jumped up, with wide eyes. When I nodded, she rushed out of the room to tell everyone, I assumed.

"Bye." I said, noticing that her computer finally got on-line. I just wanted to check my e-mail. All of the sudden, I remembered something! Chi had left without getting her Slayers from me! That meant that I had more money to spend! I noticed an e-mail in my inbox. It was titled "You Poor Fool".

It read:

"Yo, Chu!

I joined up with Magneto, and let me tell you, it is SO much nicer over here! Sure, all the other minions hate me, but there's a lot less they can do about it! ^_^ Magneto-sama made these weird bracelets for me that help me control my powers, (which is why I can e-mail you ^_^) and it… Is simply a lot nicer here! You really should consider joining us. Well, gotta run. Mystique says that I'm not supposed to abuse--er, use the computer for my personal use. Hah, like she can stop me.

~Chi

p.s. tell Xavier what I said. ^_^"

I laughed when I read her p.s. and felt glad that she was okay. Not that I had thought that anyone could stop her, but it was nice to know she was having a good time. And she could order her own anime now!

"When you're feeling blue, I will always smile to you…." I sang as I left Kitty's computer on. "Tell her I'm done." I said to her roommate as I left.

Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ Õ

"She says that Magneto showers her in jewelry and gold, and the other minions are her personal slaves, and she gets to be ruler when they take over the world. AND they're forcing some publisher to publish her stuff, and then she's going to buy Asia and build a palace of anime merchandise. BWA-HA-HA-HA!!" I said, standing on the table at dinner and embellishing the truth to an untruthful degree. Jubilee had asked me if it was all really true. I had started with the plain e-mail, then added stuff until I thought it sounded ridiculous.

"Get off the table." Cyclops said sternly as he looked at me through his visor. He had come in while I was in mid-rant, and that's when it really took off, since I knew he was going to hate me forever anyway.

"Only if you promise that Jean isn't going to harm or humiliate me." I said, grabbing onto the edge of the table. He sighed.

"I promise." He said, taking my arm as I allowed him to remove me from the table.

"Yeah, well you better not be lying. That'd be really bad." I said as I followed him down the hallway. I knew Jean was going to yell at me, but I knew it would be a lot softer if I got to see her with Scott there. As all people, she changed when her love was in the room.

"By the way, what happened to Rogue and Pyro? I left them in the infirmary, and that's the last I've heard of them." I said, staying one step behind him.

"Rogue is fine. She was eating dinner, so I'm surprised that you didn't see her." He said as we walked down the hallway, "John is recovering rather quickly. He wasn't as damaged as we originally thought."

"Yeah, I bet he looked like a withered leaf when you first got there!" I laughed, then sobered up, "It's kind of weird, having your powers work on their own. Makes you feel as though you would kill someone without trying to. Oh, wait, I almost did that! I wonder if that's how Chi felt…"

"Please try not to have any more battles with John until he is fully recovered, all right?" He asked as we reached the room that Jean was in. I agreed as we walked into the room to see Jean reading Logan's mind. He looked worried, and I wondered what they could have been doing, since they obviously looked rather guilty when Jean finally saw Scott.

"Scott!" She said, rather startled.

"And Chu." I said, waving at her. As she turned her attention to me, I pointed at Scott, "He promised that you wouldn't hurt or humiliate me!"

"I see." She said, leaving the room, but turning to say good night to Logan before she left. I followed her down the hall to where I assumed that Chi had been, since the whole entryway was completely fried.

"Woah! I guess she DID get her powers figured out! Man, I bet it wasn't fun to be in here when she zapped you all!" I laughed as I kicked around the burnt out rubble with my foot. "Almost looks worse than the cafeteria!"

"Yes. Clean this up before you go to bed, and we will consider your punishment done." Jean said, leaving with the lights still off. It appeared that the power was still out in this section of the building.

"Okay!" I smiled as soon as she left. ~Just so long as you don't expect me to FIX anything, we're fine!~ I sat on the floor and wasted some time for a while. After all, it wouldn't do to get done cleaning too fast. It might look suspicious. Like I was using my powers. After reading through a few magazines that were left on the table, unscorched, I decided it was time to start cleaning.

"Water of fountains, heed my call!" I shouted, trying not to shout loud enough to wake anybody up, but enough to be dramatic. I tossed open the front door and allowed the raging water from the fountain to enter the room, "Cleansing River, FLUSH!"

The massive mountain of water circled around the room a few times, until I thought that the burn marks were no longer apparent on the walls. After exiting the room, I released it from my power and it collapsed onto the front steps, leaving the appearance that it had recently rained.

~Job complete! Time for bed!~ I thought to myself as I skipped up the stairs to the dark hallway, where everyone was asleep. I chose to ignore the fact that all the furniture that was formerly in the entryway had been flushed as well, and everything that was in there was now on the front steps, completely drenched.

As I made my way through the corridors, I noticed that everyone seemed to be gathering around the room that I had seen Jean and Wolverine in earlier. I arrived on the scene just in time to bump into Rogue as she rushed out of the room. Suddenly, I felt dizzy as my knees collapsed beneath me and I fell over onto someone, who caught me.

~Is this what it feels like to be on drugs?~ I wondered just before I found myself covered in darkness.
