The Brotherhood Of Bayville House

"Jeeze Lance." Pietro muttered as he wiped the sleep out of his eyes. "How late were you up last night talking with the X-Geek?"

"Until one." Lance replied as he sipped his coffee.

"Man, are you whipped." Mike muttered as he walked in.

"Once again, you're one to talk." Lance muttered as Mike pulled out Betsy's chair for her and made her breakfast.

"Huh?" Mike asked as Lance and Pietro shook their heads.

"So many insults available, so many…" Pietro moaned.

"Calm down Quicky." Tabitha said as she ate some breakfast.

"Look, let's just get to school." Lance muttered.

"Why, hoping that Kitty will ask you to the Sadie Hawkins Dance?" Mike taunted as Lance scowled.

"Look, just because you have a date doesn't mean the rest of us can easily get dates." Lance said as he walked upstairs.

"Think we've been pushing him too hard?" Toad asked as Tabitha fed Boris, The Brotherhood Rat.

"Maybe." Tabitha said simply. "But I for one am looking forward to this." Tabitha said simply.

"Hoping to get back at a certain furry X-Geek?" Fred asked as he ate a burger. (Yes a burger this early in the morning.)

"Oh yea." Tabitha said as she rubbed her hands together.

"I have a feeling that this is going to be one very interesting night." Toad said to Betsy, who nodded in agreement.

Bayville High

"Hey Lance." Kitty said as she approached the longhaired senior, who was at the water fountain.

"Hey Kitty." Lance said as he wiped his mouth.

"So, like, I had a good time talking with you last night." Kitty said nervously.

"Me too." Lance said as they walked down the halls.

"Um, I was wondering if you would like to go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. With me." Kitty said nervously.

"Um…" Lance stated as he looked at her nervously before putting a nonchalant face. "I don't know…I guess I'd have to think about it." Lance said as Kitty looked depressed.

"Okay." Kitty said in defeated tone as she walked away slowly.

"Hey Kitty!" Lance called out after her. She turned around to face him. "I thought about it, and the answer is yes." Lance said with a huge grin. Kitty smiled at him and walked away as Lance jerked his arm back and forth. "Yeeeesssss…" Lance hissed as the ground began to shake. "Oops." Lance said as everyone looked around in shock. Kitty just giggled and continued on her way. Lance just smiled as Mike and Toad walked over to him.

"Real smooth Romeo." Todd said as he and Omega snickered.

"Shut up." Lance muttered as he walked away smiling.

Bayville High, lunch period
---------------------------------

"Ok, what's up with him?" Pietro asked as he sat down and pointed to Lance, who had a dreamy look in his eyes.

"Three guesses." Toad muttered as he munched on his food.

"The cat asked him to the dance." Pietro said dryly.

"Give the man a prize." Mike quipped.

"ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!" Tabitha shouted as she stormed into the cafeteria and sat down at the Brotherhood table.

"Do I even want to know?" Betsy asked as Tabitha began turning an odd shade of red.

"He goes and gets asked by another girl to the dance! That little rat! I'll kill him!" Tabitha ranted as Fred and Toad shared a look.

"Fuzzy got asked to the dance, didn't he?" Toad asked. He was answered by a left hook from an irate Tabitha and was sent across the room. The Brotherhood all immediately pushed their seats away from Tabitha as she continued growing angry.

ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!" Tabitha screamed, turning a deep crimson.

"Oh man! She's going to blow!" Pietro shouted as he dove under the table. The entire cafeteria also ducked under tables or behind chairs as Tabitha screamed loud enough to shatter windows.

"Feel better?" Blob asked as he looked on in fear at Tabitha from behind the chair.

"Yea. Actually I do." Tabitha said as she skipped away. The Brotherhood just exchanged looks as Lance continued living in dreamland, not even noticing what had happened.

The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House

"Here Kitty, Kitty!" Toad chanted as Lance was slumped in the chair, taking the abuse from his fellow teammates.

"Lance and Kitty sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I…" Blob began before the house started shaking.

"I've had enough of this!" Lance shouted as he grit his teeth.

"Cut it out man!" Blob said as he fell on his rear.

"Oh, calm down Lancey." Tabitha crowed. "Are you mad that we're making fun of you and your girlfriend?" Tabitha asked in a sugarcoated voice.

"Man I wouldn't be caught dead at one of those things." Blob stated as Tabitha got a mischievous glint in her eye. "Gee, Freddy, and here I was going to ask you to the Dance." Tabitha said as Fred turned a pale color.

"Wait! I can…" Fred began before Toad interrupted him.

"How about me, yo? Can you ask me?" Toad asked as he jumped up and down excitedly.

"Brother…" Mike muttered as he flipped the channel.

"Well I don't know Mr. Toady…" Tabitha asked as she put on her schoolgirl routine, and bent her knees inward.

"Pleeeaaassseee!" Toad and Fred whined in unison.

"Well I guess I could take you both." Tabitha mused. "How about you Quicky?"

"Please. I could keep four girls busy all night long." Pietro said as he danced around the room at super speed.

Oh yea, his ego's not inflated." Betsy said sarcastically as she sat on Mike's legs, watching TV.

"Well that settles it!" Tabitha said as she jumped up. "We're going to crash the Dance and show those geeks how to really party!" Tabitha crowed as the Brotherhood all separated. Lance just got a smile on his face as Betsy and Mike shook their heads.

"Oh, this is going to be fun." Betsy said as she walked upstairs to change.

"Hey, what can happen?" Mike asked as he followed her up. "It's just a dance."

"I don't know… maybe inter-dimensional dinosaurs are going to appear out of thin air and ruin the dance!" Betsy said as she walked upstairs.

"Come on Bets, what are the odds that that will happen?' Mike asked as he walked upstairs after her.


********************

Three hours later…

"I'm off to pick up Kitty!" Lance shouted as he started his jeep and took off.

"He forgot to put his pants on, didn't he?" Mike asked as Pietro and Toad snickered. Pietro was wearing a black tuxedo. Toad was wearing one of those god awful aqua tuxedos.

"Yep." Pietro said as Lance's jeep was heard screeching into the drive way and Lance ran inside and put his pants on. He then took off as Tabitha came down, wearing a dress that only the 80's version of Madonna would wear. Fred walked in the pallor, wearing a corduroyed suit.

"God help me..." Mike muttered as he put his head in his hands. He was wearing a black suit without the tie, along with a light blue button down shirt, with the top button undone. He also had gold hoops in his ears, replacing the diamond studs he normally had. His hair was pulled into a tight ponytail. "Hey, Bets! You almost ready?" Mike called upstairs as Betsy appeared behind him, thanks to her shadow powers.

"Ready and willing love." Betsy said as she raised her eyebrow. She was wearing a seductive purple gown that had blue trim and hugged her figure. Her long purple hair was loose, with strands falling on her Asian face as she smiled at Omega. (You can stop drooling boys, she's taken.)

"Damn." Mike thought. "Well, let's go guys and gals." Mike said as Pietro zoomed off to pick up more transportation for his dates. Illegally of course. Toad, Fred and Tabitha all got into the backseat of Mike's El Camino and with that, they were off.

********************

Bayville High the Gym

"PARTY!!!" One of the jocks shouted as he ran around screaming. Right into a wall where he proceeded to knock himself out.

"Oh, yea, there's no drinking at this party." Betsy mused sarcastically as she and Mike danced.

"Hey, go with the flow Bets." Mike said as he twirled her around. "I mean even Lance is having a good time." Mike said as he pointed at Lance, who was dancing with Kitty.

"How's it hanging you two?" Tabitha asked as she walked over with a panting Blob and Toad.

"Great." Betsy said as she grinded against Mike.

"I can't take this no more." Todd panted form the background. "She's gonna kill us Freddy…"

""I know little man, I know…" Fred wept.

"Oh, hush up you crybabies." Tabitha scolded.

"Have you seen Pietro?" Mike asked.

"There he is." Toad said as he pointed to the entrance, where Pietro came out with four girls on his arms. He grinned at the others before he started to dance with them.

"Oh yea, his ego is going to get a whole lot bigger." Betsy muttered as she continued dancing with her boyfriend. Kelly was watching the Dance with a satisfied look on his face.

"See, I told you being with me wouldn't be so bad. Right?" Lance said as he and Kitty moved to the music.

"Mmm Hmm..." Kitty Pryde answered with a smile. Suddenly a huge portal appeared between the two. "Lance, like, quit it!!!"

"Hey, It's not me this time." Lance responded as he pulled Kitty out of the way. The portal grew wider and a red dinosaur like creature jumped out of the hole. It then was followed by about a dozen others.

"No friggin' way!" Mike stated as his jaw dropped to the floor and he stared at the creatures. Betsy just smacked him in the back of the head.

"Told you." Betsy scolded as she tore off the bottom part of her dress and the charged toward them.

"Why can't we just have a normal day?" Mike asked the heavens as he followed his girlfriend into the fight. Cyclops had already blasted one of the creatures as Mike grabbed one more of the charging demons by the snout and threw it into the wall. He then delivered a series of kick-flips to others as Betsy monkey flipped one into his outstretched clothesline. Meanwhile Lance tore the gym floor apart, protecting him and Kitty from a few more that Cyclops and Jean Grey took out. Evan created Bone cages to keep the creatures trapped as Pietro grabbed his dates and ran like a pansy.

"Lance, what are doing?" Kitty asked in shock as Lance concentrated and the gym floor rose up and knocked back three of the outer worldly demons.

"Gotta send them out in style Kitty." Lance said as he smirked at her and they ran down the corridor after the others, who were chasing more around. They ran into Forge and Rouge, along with Risty.

"Where are the others?" Mike asked as he looked around.

"Right here yo." Toad said as Blob sat down on one of the Dinosaur like creatures. Tabitha had a look of triumph on her face as Forge pointed his gun toward the creature.

"Hey I remember that thing…" Toad exclaimed.

"Yea. But this time I made some modifiers to it." Forge said. "They go in, and they don't come out." Forge said as he blasted the creature and the rest of the X-Men ran off to find the rest.

"Well so much for a peaceful night with Kitty." Lance moaned.

"Hey at least we still have entertainment." Toad said as he pointed to Omega, who was getting a sever thrashing from Betsy.

"I TOLD you that we should have been on our guard." Betsy scolded as she smacked Mike over the head.

"But Betsy…Ow…I didn't know that this was…Ow… going to happen…OW!!!" Mike said as Betsy pulled on his ear and dragged him down the hall.

"Maybe now you'll start believing me when I saw something is going to happen." Betsy said as she walked Mike down the hall.

"Ow! I thought you were joking…Ow…come on bets…Ow!"

"Don't come on Bets me! You owe me big for this buster." Betsy said as she dragged Mike off.

"OW!" Mike shouted from down the hall as the Brotherhood all snickered.

"Never all dull moment when you're with the Brotherhood." Toad said with a smile as the Brotherhood followed their two other members.
