Shout outs! Alan Bates: Mr. Bates, Marie is not Rogue in this story. Marie is an entirely different person. When I refer to someone as "Marie" I don't mean Rogue, OK? Thank you for the nice review. I do try to be funny you know.

Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men, or the Brotherhood, but Marie, Timothy, Jennifer, and the horses are all mine. So ner!

Chapter Five

Punishing The Brotherhood

Logan watched as Marie calmed the horses down one by one and led them back to the corral. Logan snarled when he saw the Brotherhood boys perched on the corral fence. The rest of the X-Men had assembled at the corral too.

That was when Logan noticed something strange about the Brotherhood; they weren't moving. Jennifer had frozen them the minute she had seen them.

"I guess this ruins our camping trip," Jubilee muttered. She had been close to catching Jean and Scott when the horses had been loosed.

"Logan, have the kids pick up repack the stuff and tack their horses, I'm going to ride back to the stable to bring my jeep up to get these boys. I want to see that they are thoroughly punished for what they have done. Someone could have gotten hurt in this affair," Marie informed them as she saddled her grey mare and rode back down the trail, shining a flashlight ahead of her.

Logan nodded and ordered the kids to pack up the trampled foodstuffs and roll up their sleeping bags.

Marie came back several hours before dawn in her big jeep. She jumped out and helped Logan load up the still frozen Brotherhood boys.

"Jean, Scott, you're in charge," Logan barked. "Lead the kids back down the trail. We'll meet you at the stables.

"You heard the man, mount up!" Scott called over the roar of the jeep as it drove down the trail.

When the X-Men finally reached the stables, it was light out and Logan came out of the barn to meet them.

"Its about time you got here," he grunted in his Logan-way. "You should see what Marie's havin' the Brotherhood do."

The teens dismounted and followed Logan as the stable grooms took care of their horses.

They had to lean on each other for support when they nearly fell over laughing watching the Brotherhood boys muck dirty stalls.

The End.

Hope you all enjoyed it! Next up will be a few more little funny stories then the sequel. Think you can wait a tiny bit freckles?
