Disclaimer: W00t, I really don't care any more!! I just wanna write! (I
have no idea what "w00t" means, but it's fun to say!!)
(an: Ok, this is the DANCE, and you finally get to see that genius plot I've been, well, plotting for the last (what was it?), maybe, a month or something? You are all SO lovely!! I'm in a good mood today, so no evil laughter! (I'm so happy I can't even be sarcastic!! Which is very strange. I'm calling a shrink. This is not normal.) )
1 WEEK LATER:
Everyone had by now recovered from Rogue's, er, incident, and the blackmail had long since blown over. Gossip is a fickle weapon. It was the day of the .:gasp:. dance, and everyone, except Rogue, and, uh, nope, only Rogue, was very, very, very excited. (Rogue had a very good reason to be mad. Her revenge hadn't went well. After all, her threats and blackmail had blown over in a WEEK.)
"I need better dirt," muttered Rogue as she slammed her locker shut. "But all the gossip is so vapid my mind floats off without warning. Arrgh."
The day went by SLOOOOWLY, oh so SLOOOOWLY, and everyone suspected the clocks weren't working. (It's a conspiracy, it really is. I'm putting out for an inquiry.) Anyway, the day eventually did end, and everyone went home, feeling happy, and all fizzy with excitement. (Which is exactly how I'm feeling right now!! Hmm. Something MUST be out of sorts.)
6:00, AND THE DANCE!!!!:
At 6:00, the band members, which were pretty much everyone in the institute, left for the school. They set up, warmed up, and basically wasted time, until people showed up. They then started into an inspired chorus of "Kiss Him Goodbye", by Steam. (A very old 70's song. I have no idea why I picked it, except that it was in a book I read recently, and it's also a very good song.)
"Na na na na Na na na na Hey hey hey Goodbye"
Unfortunately they only got that far, because 1, I only know that much of the song, and 2, the official reason, the Brotherhood was rapping on the window, trying to get their attention. (No, that isn't my devious plot. That's not devious at all. That's just.. stupid.) Everyone, except Jamie, ran out, leaving a hastily scrawled note on the mic. The assistant principal stepped up, and read it.
"The band says: Sorry about this, but we're currently experiencing technical difficulties. Our drummer has snapped due to a fire downtown in his line of sight. Anyway, we'll be back in a few, preferably with our drummer in a straight-jacket, but until then, our dj will be taking requests. Thank You! The X-men." (Kitty wrote the note, because she has really good handwriting, and I picked John, cause he's the only one likely to snap under such non-stressful conditions.)
BACK TO THE BAND:
Anyway, the band ran outside, hastily changing into costumes and whatever else it is they do to get ready for battle. (Ok, I know I had most of the B- hood killed off a few chapters ago, but thanks to powerful underground elfin (No, not like Kurt.) magic, they are all back to life. And Wanda isn't there, because I want the X-men to win. Just needed to add some, erm, excitement!! Uh, yeah, we'll just go with that.)
They ran to the parking lot, fully dressed, except for Jean and Scott, who were still making out. (You know, the whole, if-I-die-today-I-just-want-you- to-know-that-I-love-you crap.) But they managed to tear apart from each other so Scott could take the lead.
"Ok, you! There! Rogue, get behind Jean! SOMEONE RESTRAIN PYRO!!!!" For, you see, there really had been a fire downtown. Erm, you get the idea... Scott continued his tough-guy stuff, and everyone continued to do their ignore-him-he's-an-idiot-with-a-leader-complex stuff. Except for the "restrain Pyro" part. That dude can be really creepy when he's crazy. (.:shudders:.)
Anyway, it turned out it wasn't necessary to listen to Scott anyway, because Rogue just zapped him to get him to shut up. She then regained TOTAL AND COMPLETE CONTROL of the band and otherwise. She got Jean to stop sobbing over Scott's prone form long enough to deal with Quicksilver so she could zap him, then zapped Jean. She then started running really really fast and knocked all of the rest of the Brotherhood out. Everyone else was too busy dealing with Pyro to help. (And there's the fact that Rogue is THE SUPREME POWER behind the X-men, band and otherwise.
They then dashed back inside. Jamie looked rather miffed when the band returned. He was very happy being in the spotlight, which happens, um, never? Anyway, they continued to play right where they left off, and everything was OK! (Um, as ok as ok can be in the X-men. Which is not very, considering.) So the rest of the dance went really, really well, and um, yeah.
After the dance, everyone was leisurely walking back towards the institute, when someone happened (I control them, remember? .:insert evil and crazed- with-power laughter:. It's just so much fun, being in control!!!) to spy (PLOT DEVICE ALERT!!!) a poster advertising (.:Drum roll and dramatic music, please:.) The Battle Of The Bands!!!
(Well, there you have it. The dance, the B-hood, and a plot device all in one chapter. Fun fun. =D)
