Love can turn the cottage into a golden palace.

Mystique: The only truth there is to this is how badly I'm going to hurt him and you later.
Beck: Is that so?
Dexroth: You have to get past me and the dog first.
Doggy: Grrrr….

The brother hood house lives by strange rules.
^*^**^^*^**^*^^**^^*^**^
Pietro: We have rules?
Lance: How'd I miss that memo?
^*^**^^**^*^^*^**^^*^*^**^^*^*
But even those rules tend to get broken.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^^*^*
Wanda: Can't break or bend rules that don't exist.
Dexroth: Oh, I don't know. A truly gifted person can do anything.
Ray: If that's the case I'm going to take Caliente's advice and get a helmet.
Beck: I did get some magical muffins from Cheese-Doodles-Are-Yummy.
Ray: Back off, authoress.

Mystique was in love. But that love was against everything she stood for.
^*^*^*^*^**^^*^**^^*^*
Remy:…How do dey figure?
Dexroth: Just go with it. She's using poetic license again.
*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^**^
The leader didn't fall in love with some useless underling.
*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^^*^*
Todd: I always get dissed, yo.
Fred: Well, she is writing from the boss lady's point of view.
Mystique: I disagree. My point of view would be to kill you all!
Dexroth: Tsk. Such violence in the system.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^^*^*
Especially not an underling like the Toad.
But if she didn't tell anyone, no one would know. No one would know that she was breaking the rules.
^*^*^*^**^*^*^^**^^*^*^*^*
Rahne: So what we're saying is Mystique would be the perfect match for Scott, being all into rules.
Jean: WHAT!?
Scott: I object to that comment!
Sam: Then why don't you two just leave like last time?
Ray: Yeah, where exactly did you two run off too last time? We didn't see you two after that!
Beck: I'm sure they had a good reason.
Scott: Exactly!
Beck: What, however, may not be suitable for a PG rating.
Jean: HOW DARE YOU!
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*
Todd was in love as well. But he didn't know who.
^**^^*^**^^*^**^^**^*^^*^*^*^*
Magneto: DOOOM!
Mystique: Leave. Now. Or I will murder you.
Magneto: *leaving* Not quite the reaction I was expecting.
*^^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^**^^*^*
But he was sure he would find that someone some day.
^**^^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Danny: How does he know he's in love if he doesn't know who it is?
Beck: How do you know you're just friends with Arcane?
Danny: Dude, shut-up!
Ray: Danny says dude?
Todd: that's whack, yo!
Beck: You strange people.
^**^^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^**^^**^
Mystique watched from a nearby tree in the guise of a crow, watching her love sleep.
*^^**^^**^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*
Dexroth: This many point of view changes can't be healthy.
Beck: Neither is the infatuation of a thirty something woman with a fifteen year old boy.
Mystique: This shan't go unavenged.
^*^*^*^**^*^^**^^*^*^^*^*^^*^*^**^^*
This life was too short for her to wonder about the way the heart works.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^^*^*^*^^*^*
Roberto: Isn't that what heart surgeons do?
Ray: Yeah, but they do it when the patient is still alive, I doubt Mystique would be the same way.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^**^*^^*^*^**^^*^*^*
Her only hope was that one of them left, and her heart would be tortured no more.
Until then, she would keep silent her emotions.
^**^*^*^^**^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*
John: Look! I have the impending list!
Beck: How did he get that?
Dexroth: I have no idea.
Beck: *glare*
Dexroth: I'm a hundred dollars richer through my ignorance. Besides, what is he going to do except scream when he sees who he was paired with?
John: That one's not so bad, not that one…THAT ONE?! AIIEEE!
Dexroth: He screams like a girl.
John:You would too if you saw this!
Dexroth: Luckily, I'm exempt.
*^^**^^*^*^***^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^**^^*^*
'Goodnight…Love.' Mystique thought as she flew back up to her room.
^*^*^^*^**^*^^*^*^**^^**^*^
Mystique: I would never think of something like that!
Beck: That must be why you're the Doom man's lackey.
Mystique: I AM NOT A LACKEY!
Dexroth: Denial is an awful thing.
Jubilee: You know you got hit on Dex.
Dexroth: Of course I did. I'm irresistible.
Beck: And incorrigible.
Dexroth: Yes, but that's part of my charm. Hello, Lily!
Amara: You strange man.
^**^^*^**^^*^*^^**^*^*^^*^*
In Todd's room, a smile crept across the face of the Toad.
^**^**^*^^**^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^^**^*^
Todd: I was dreaming that I was living in a white house with my crimson cutie!
Wanda: Keep dreaming.
George: *squuuiiishheeeee*
Magneto: *Inching away* Why is that thing still here?
Beck: With him, I don't have to do any cleaning.
Dexroth: It's not as if you did any anyway.
Doggy: Woof.
Beck: That's right. I had you do it didn't I?
Dexroth: Err…Nevermind, forget I said anything.
Mystique: Magneto! You will help me attack Black Pheonix!
Magneto: I am the leader here!
Dexroth: Who wears the pants in THAT relationship?
Mystique: You will do as I say!
Beck: Well, while they're arguing, they can't go after reviewers, so it's all good.
Dexroth: True. Want me to stick some junk mail in their pockets?
Beck: Part of me wants to stay good, I swear….
