Mad Malibu Summer!

To Descendent: Glad you liked it! Here's more madness for you! BTW, What do you have planned in "Brotherhood Evolution" for Mike? "Omega Attack" is my idea, but any hints on what Mike'll be up to during his time away from the one who created him?

To Raliena: I wouldn't know about that. I tried coffee once as a kid and I hated it. I've always been a tea drinker myself (Considering my Mom is English). Heh heh.

To Wizard1: Where are you, man? I want to see Chapter 5 of "Karaoke Dance Party"! You promised it'd be up an long time ago! WHEEEEEERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU MAN?!?!?!?!?!?!

To Red Witch: Ah, I see. It was a giant bird joke. Well, hopefully coffee will get involved in the future. BTW, what do you have planned in the future? I'm just curious about that.

It's Profile Time Again! Crowd hoots, hollers, chants, screams, claps, and yells. Some hold up signs This time, we take another look at a Joe who looked like he would have never made the team in the first place, Grunt!

Grunt

Real Name: Robert W. Graves

Affiliation: Army

Rank: E-4

Primary Military Specialty: Infantry

Secondary Military Specialty: Small Arms Armorer, Artillery Coordinator

Birthplace: Columbus, Ohio

Bio: Grunt's codename comes from the nickname for regular infantry soldiers. Since Grunt was a regular soldier, odds were that he'd never be a part of the elite GI Joe team. However, Grunt was able to make the team despite his lack of an individualized talent. In fact, Grunt became one of the original 13 members of the Joe team.

Grunt is a graduate of Advanced Infantry Training School in the top ten of his class. Later, he retired from the Joes for a while to study at Georgia Tech. There, he got a degree in engineering. He returned to the Joe team, now more valuable than ever to the Joes.

(West Coast Misfit Manor Breakfast Table, Malibu Base)

The West Coast Misfits sat around the table, scarfing up breakfast. It looked like a bunch of animals scarfing food. Literally in Beast King's case. Jack turned his mouth into a hippopotamus maw and his arms into octopus tentacles, allowing him to grab and eat at a greater rate than normal. Kicker watched with disbelief.

I'm beginning to think that this craziness is part of the X-Gene. The blonde Malibu Joe blinked. A laughing Jester walked into the house.

"What did you do this time, Jester?" Kicker raised an eyebrow. Jester laughed.

"I rigged up a radio next to Hardcase's house." He pointed out the window. Kicker peeked in and saw that the radio was standing in front of Hardcase's house…rigged onto a pair of 40-foot-tall concert speakers.

"Oh no! That'll wake up half of California!"

"Relax." Jester grinned. He pressed a button on a remote. "I hope he likes Andrew W.K. Heh heh heh heh!" All was quiet for ten seconds, then suddenly, the house exploded when the speakers blared out the chorus to Andrew W.K.'s "Party Hard" played at full blast.

"Let's get the part goin'/Let's get the party goin'/Let's get the party goin'/Let's get the party goin'/Everybody party hard!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!! JESTER!!!!!!!! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!" Hardcase screamed outside. Kicker groaned and Jester laughed happily at the scene. She looked at the kids. "What do you plan to do today after training?"

"I got a gig." Ali smiled. "Jamie arranged it." Kicker blinked.

"You mean Jamie Madrox? That short kid in the funny suits? How can he be an agent? He's only 13!"

"So, Britney Spears was only 16 when she decided to start her streetwalking route." X23 quipped.

"Good one, X!" Jack and X high-fived. She then looked at Jack.

"You still aren't getting my food." X23 said. "Vegetarians."

"Hey!" Jack exclaimed. "Dude, I've totally been most of those animals you like to eat, X! Besides, I've always been a vegetarian, man."

"If God did not want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them taste good." X replied simply, scarfing up more bacon.

"Oh don't start that again." Toshi grumbled.

"Tommy and I are going to the skate park. There's a big skateboarding event going on down there." Terrell said. The shark-like Tommy Sharpe grinned.

"Yeah, mate! It's going to be bloody awesome! The Birdman's gonna be there!" Tommy whooped.

"Tony Hawk? Huh." Kyle said. "Whatever."

"X, Theresa and I are going shopping!" Rahne grinned. X looked up from her plate.

"No. Aw heck no! No way! I don't like shopping!" X grumbled.

"All ye do all day is read!" Rahne groaned.

"I like to read and fight. No one else complains."

"They're just too afraid to." Rahne crossed her arms.

"Hey, who do you think the Thunderbolt is, jabroni! Dragonfly?!" Kyle exclaimed, offended. "The Thunderbolt isn't afraid of anything or anyone!"

"What about the time we went on that rollercoaster?" Longshot smirked. "You were screaming like a girl." The other kids burst out laughing.

"Hey! The Thunderbolt was acting! He happens to be a fantastic actor!" Kyle snapped. "Just be glad no one brought the jabroni coward Dragonfly with us. Her cowardly screaming would've brought the whole thing down!"

"Well, John, Toshi, Kyle, and I are going to hit the arcade." Longshot said. Thunderbird nodded. Toshi only let out an "Mm". Kyle whooped in agreement.

"I'll come." X23 said. "I'd rather hit the arcade than the stores. Besides, I want a piece of Tank Invaders. That game drives me nuts!" X23 growled. "I can't get past the 15th level! That game is laughing at me!" X angrily unsheathed her claws with a SNIKT and slashed through a plate. The other kids blinked.

"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…" John blinked.

"Jack, Randy, and I are going to hit the beach." Ace said. "You can't live in California without hitting the beach!" He hooted and he and Randy high-fived. A knock was heard at the door. A laughing Jester opened the door, revealing an angry Dial-Up, clad in a pink robe, slippers, and her wet hair put in a towel. She had evidently heard the blast from the shower.

"Did anyone ever tell you that even first thing in the morning you're beautiful?" Jester grinned. He ended up getting kissed by a right hook from the Japanese Joe. "Ow." She stomped off.

"Way to work the charm, Jester." Kicker chuckled.

"I think a tooth fell out." He whimpered. An explosion was heard outside.

"FIRESTORM!!!!!!!! MY JEEP!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!! BLOWED UP REEEEEEEEALLLLL GOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Hoo brother." Kicker sighed. "Why do I get the feeling this day is going to be one crazy day?"

Why do I get the feeling she's right? What madness will happen next? What happened to Emma Frost? Will Tommy get to meet Tony Hawk? Will Ace be chased by girls? Will X23 beat the game that's been bothering her? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
