Tests For The Newbie

Tabitha dragged Madrid up the steps to her room and covered up the furry mutant as much as she could, then she stepped back to admire her handiwork.

Madrid was standing in the middle of the room, an enormous hat on her head and a huge trench coat covering almost every inch of her.

"Not bad, not bad," Tabby smiled, walking in a circle around Madrid. "Wait a minute!" she stopped and tucked Madrid's tail underneath the trench coat. "There! That's better!" And the two girls marched back down the steps.

"So where are you goin' in that dorky coat yo?" Toad asked, scratching his head in bewilderment as he stared at the covered up Madrid.

"We're going to the park silly," Tabitha smiled. "We need to make plans to steal an image inducer and I always think better in the outdoors." Tabitha shuffled Madrid out of the door before Lance stopped them.

"Wait a minute," he ordered. "What are you going to do about school?"

"We'll play hooky silly," Tabby smiled, tweaking Lance's nose. "And besides, Madrid can't go to school without an image inducer! Lets go!" Tabby dragged Lance and Madrid behind her as she marched to the park.

"Okay," Tabby smiled as she plopped into a swing and started swaying back and forth. "Who's got an idea?"

Madrid, Lance, and Toad stared at her.

"Okay!" she smiled, clapping her hands. "I guess I get to come up with one! Okay, here's the X-mansion," she crouched and drew a building in the dirt.

"It doesn't look like that yo!" Toad protested. "You forgot the windows on that side!"

Tabitha glared at him and continued drawing. "Okay," she said, brushing her hand on her pants and sitting up. "We enter from here," she pointed to the front door and we run up the steps to Blue's room and take one of his image inducers. Easy? Lets go!"

And she stood up and shoved them out of the park and towards the Xavier mansion.

Lunch break! Isn't it interesting how Tabby's plans are always so simple? simple mind=simple plans. Teehee!
