Mad Malibu Summer!

To Wizard1: How do Ace and Paul do it? It's a family secret, my friend. And think about who those two are related to. Freddy against Tommy in an eating contest? Man, that'd be a match for the ages! I'll see what I can do for Kelly torture. Here's more madness for you! Enjoy! When does Chapter 6 of "Karaoke Dance Party" come up? Remember when I gave you that idea with Kurt, Amanda and the closet? Maybe you can expand it to Todd and Althea too. You know, Kurt and Todd confront Starchild together, but he thinks they have relationship problems. So he gives them advice. Kurt and Todd reluctantly do what Paul advises and Amanda and Althea drag their boyfriends into closets. Later, Kurt staggers on stage, completely disheveled, lipstick all over his face, and clothes in tatters, and sings Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On". Also, Todd staggers on stage in a similar condition and sings something by Barry White. How's that?

To Metal Dragon1: Actually, the West Coast Misfits have two caretakers: Quick-Kick and Kicker. That's really technical, considering the rest of the team helps out. After all, it's not easy to care for a flock of superpowered teenagers of various ethnic and racial origins. By the way, when's the next chapter of "Take the Long Way Home" coming up?

To Raliena: Glad you liked the pancakes, and no, they've never been to Canada. However, I can imagine Athena and Logan going to Canada to do a little father-daughter bonding.

To Red Witch: Who'll Frost encounter? Wait and see.

It's Profile Time Again! Crowd hoots, hollers, cheers, claps, chants and screams. Some hold up signs. This time, we take another look at the X-Men's resident egomaniac, the self-proclaimed Foxfire!

Foxfire

Real Name: Jason Aloysius Fox (He's often just called "Fox")

Known Aliases: World's Sexiest Man, The Foxman

Allegiance: X-Men, former Hellion

Powers: Jason can phase his body out of sync with light, rendering him invisible. He can also fire flames from his hands.

Hair: Orange (Since birth, his hair was orange. He wears it in a ponytail with his bangs free. Thanks to his mutation, the hair in his ponytail has white tips, like a fox's tail)

Eyes: Brown

Birthplace: Detroit, Michigan

Bio: One can always tell Foxfire coming by his confident; some would say arrogant strut, his red Bret Hart-like shades, and his pride in his looks. He was born the son of Wendell Fox, the notorious owner of one of the world's largest luxury car company, Fox Motors, started by his grandfather. The elder Fox had a sharp mind for business, incredible cunning, and a confidence that bordered on arrogance. He also was a notorious womanizer and party-thrower. (No one knows about Fox's mother. Some say she died when Jason was very young or born, but the generally accepted story is that Jason's mother was a prostitute who dumped Fox in Wendell's arms and disappeared. The real story of Foxfire's mother is unclear) Wendell didn't mind his son's unusual hair color, but he often paid little attention to the boy. Shortly before Jason's powers emerged, Wendell was approached to join the world-dominating Hellfire Club, an organization composed of the elite. Wendell refused, a rarity, and his reasons were, according to Foxfire: "Not enough hot women. And there were some members that were Canadian" (No one knows why Wendell has such hatred for Canadians. Fox has that prejudice as well). As incentive, when Fox's mutant powers emerged, Emma Frost suggested Jason join her Hellions.

As a Hellion, Jason met the reluctant Jake Wildfire, third generation in a family of pro wrestlers. The two instantly clicked, as Jason was a wrestling fan all his life, particularly admiring Shawn Michaels. Even though Fox gave the outside impression of being a loudmouthed arrogant perverted jerk, he really had a good heart, as proven when he helped Jean Grey and Ace Starr free Jake from his dark side come to life, Draconis. Immediately, Fox gave the metaphorical middle finger to Emma Frost and joined the X-Men. Jake Wildfire eventually joined the East Coast Misfits unofficially as Red Dragon. The two maintain their friendship, despite the fact that Jake gets impatient sometimes with Fox's antics.

In the X-Men, Fox's ego, mouth, and apparent chauvinism have caused him to be at odds with almost all his team-mates, particularly Cyclops. In his mind, Fox felt he should lead the X-Men, and as a result, he tries to make life tough for Cyclops. He and East Coast Misfit Pietro "Quicksilver" Maximoff have a huge rivalry. It's actually a clash of egos between them.

(Dreadnok HQ)

"I can't believe Cobra wants us to do this!" Zartan grumbled. He was dressed up like a glam rocker, and carrying a pink Ibanez guitar.

"You want to take over the world?!" Virus snapped, working on a device that looked like a switchboard used to mix music. "This is the best way to do it! Through rock music!"

"Why are you helping us?" Zanya asked. "I don't see what this has to do with Toad." Zanya knew that normally Virus would never help with anything unless the result resulted in the possible death of Toad.

"Zanya, you have such a small mind, it's unbelievable." The arrogant Dreadnok replied. "I rigged these instruments to not just give the illusions that these Dreadnoks can play well, but also the songs put out a sub-harmonic wave that hypnotizes. And I got a special sonic blast for Swamp Scum. It'll make his head explode! Then Althea and I will be together again…together…" Virus sighed happily. Zarana shook her head. She then shuddered.

"What's up, sis?" Zandar asked.

"Nothing." She replied. She noticed the gleam in Virus's eye at the mention of exploding Toad's head. It made her nervous. She remembered overhearing Golobulus saying something about Virus. Now I understand what that guy said about Virus. He said he could see Virus performing great atrocities just to achieve his own ends. Reminds me of that comic book thing that Monkeywrench likes about that paranoid cyborg. In it, the cyborg destroyed an entire city just to get revenge on a superhero whom he believed ruined his life. Why is it for some reason I can imagine Virus doing something like that just out of contempt for Toad? (A/N: What can I say? I can see a lot of similarities between Hank Henshaw/Cyborg Superman and Vincent James/Virus.)

"And how will we get this band to play?" Zartan asked Virus with a laugh. Virus glared.

"I managed to…convince a guy to let Cold Slither play at the big charity concert they got going on today." Virus grumbled. "That bloody Farrah-wannabe Dazzler is performing there."

"You mean that disco queen? She's a weakling!" Zanya laughed. "All she can do with her powers is create pretty light effects! She won't be a challenge at all!"

(Malibu Beach)

"Are you sure it's a good idea to bring them?" Jack asked Ace. Jack, Ace, and Randy were walking down the beach. Around Ace's arms were Tarot and Roulette.

"Relax, man." Randy said. "They won't do anything as long as Ace is around. It's crazy, what kind of power he has over women."

"What can I say. Family blessing, yet also a family curse." Ace chuckled. What Ace nor anyone else didn't know was that another girl was watching.

How dare they! Monet St. Croix mentally screeched. They think they can take my beloved Ace from me? Those two are going to get it! Monet eyed a poster. "Hmm…Teen Swimsuit Contest." On it, the poster said: "Winner gets $100 and a BIG FREAKIN' TROPHY!!" That's it! Monet smirked. I'll enter that contest! My gorgeous good looks will guarantee me a win! And when Ace sees me win, he'll be so impressed, he'll dump those two losers and he'll be mine and mine alone! Just the way it should be. Now how am I going to get him to see me there…

(A local pancake house)

After recovering from the trauma of the flagpole and wringing Bevatron's neck and throwing him into the back of a manure truck for bringing it, Emma Frost decided to visit the local pancake house. After all, it was Tuesday, and she always had pancakes on that day. Her enjoyment of the flat golden breakfast was interrupted by voices.

"Not you again!" A man at the counter yelled at a very fat and somewhat repulsive-looking Scotsman.

"Ah want pancakes!" Fat Bastard said. Emma blinked at the whole thing.

Hoo boy! Something tells me that there's going to be a lot of insanity going down! What is Monet up to? Why is Cobra making the Dreadnoks pose as a heavy metal band? What more insanity will happen next? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
