Chapter 3: More Mall Madness!
Inside the Bayville Mall
Oh yeah! I just remembered! I promised the girls I'd pick up gifts! Baby Paul mused to himself as he sped by a bush in the mall. The X-Baby Boys peeked up.
"Alright, guys…" Baby Scott said. "Time to take out a Starchild!"
Inside the Bayville Mall
"WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" A young boy with wild reddish-blond hair sobbed as he sat on the bench. Amara noticed the little boy as she passed by while carrying her stuff. "WAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
"Are you okay, little guy?" She came up to the small boy. He looked up and she was shocked. "Pyro"
"Can you help m-m-m-meeeee?" Baby John cried. "I-I-I-I lost my lighter! WAHHHHHHH!!!! I want my Zippy!!!"
"Uhhhh…" Amara was unsure whether she should help the tiny pyromaniac clone. "Zippy?"
"Zippy." Baby John moaned. "Me favorite lighter. The nice lady Spiral gave it to me when I was created. The pink monsters took my lighter." Baby Pyro moaned.
"Pink monsters?" Amara asked in disbelief.
"They come after you when you least expect it." Baby John explained with a sniffle. "They take your favorite things and hide them far away from you. They're the reason why you lose your socks in the dryer. They live in the dryer. But they come out when they see something they like. They liked me lighter. I can't use me powers without me lighter." Baby John started crying again. "WAHHHHHH!!!! I WANT ME LIGHTER!!!!! I WANT ME ZIPPY!!!!" Amara sat down next to the small clone of St. John.
"How did you lose your lighter?" Amara asked.
"Pink monster took it." Baby John told her.
"Uhm, how did the monster steal your lighter?" Amara sighed. This clone is as psycho as the original! Next thing you know, he's gonna rant about fairies living in peanut butter! Certainly didn't stop the original Allerdyce.
"I was walking down the escalator, looking for something to burn." Baby John told the story. "A big pink rhino monster knocked into me. I mouthed him off, and I found me lighter was gone. The monster stole it! I tried to catch him, but he got away!" Baby John sobbed. "My poor lighter. They're probably gonna use it in their machine."
"What machine?" Amara asked. Oh no, here comes another nutty rant! Next time, keep your big mouth shut, Aquilla!
"The pink monsters are using the stuff they steal to build a machine that they'll use to take over the world!" Baby John jumped off the bench. "That's why they're after me! I know their plan! They need my Zippy to turn the socks into fuel for their machine! They're trying to prevent me from spreading the word! I need help in stopping them! If I get my lighter back, their machine won't work and they can't conquer the world!"
"Uhmmmmm…" Amara digested Baby John's "mission". Hasn't the Allerdyce family ever heard of therapy? He needs it! Bad!
"C'mon!" Baby John grabbed Amara.
"Hey!" She yelled as the tiny pyromaniac grabbed her by the hand and dragged her behind him.
Somewhere else in the mall
"How could have lost him?!?!" Tabby screamed at Jean.
"The poor little sweetheart must be lost." Rogue moaned.
"Not my fault! One second he was there, the next, he was gone! I didn't even notice he was gone in my mind!" Jean replied.
"Like, way to go! This is a big mall, Jean! And he's so little! The poor baby must be so confused and wondering what's going on and where he is!" Kitty put her piece in.
"Let's just find him!" Rogue snapped.
"Hey, has any of you seen Amara?" Tabby looked around.
"She said she went to look at the jewelry." Rogue replied.Yet somewhere else in the mall
Baby Paul passed by a couple limping security guards. He scratched his head.
"Huh. They should stop hiring mall cops with histories of injuries." Baby Paul thought out loud. "That can't be any help to anyone." Baby Paul pulled out a trinket from a bag he carried with him. It was a tiny crown. "Amara will love this. Now what would the other girls like?" Baby Paul walked up to a jewelry store. "Jean does have a fondness for jewelry." Unbeknownst to Baby Paul, Baby Cyclops had hung a piano above the entrance. He stood on the level above the jewelry store, holding a string. He was obviously inspired by Road Runner cartoons.
"This will really get 'im!" Baby Scott grinned. He waited for Baby Paul to walk out, and the tiny Starchild walked out, carrying a pretty necklace. "Yeah!" He let go of the string, but the piano did not fall. "WHAT?!" He jumped on top of the piano and jumped up and down on it a couple times. The piano didn't fall an inch. "I can't believe this! Don't tell me the pulley jammed!" He jumped down below the piano, scratching his head. "This is just great! I can't believe it!" The piano came crashing down on top of the tiny Cyclops clone.
"OWWWWWWCH!!!!!" Baby Scott screamed. "Now it comes down. Owie…"
The food court
Baby Craig ran into the food court and dove under the table, but not before swiping ketchup and a mustard container from the table. At a nearby table, Duncan Matthews was lifting up a ketchup bottle to pour ketchup on some fries.
"Man, my poor baby. I can't get chicks without my baby." Duncan whined. "Maybe ketchup-covered fries will down my sorrows." Two mall cops ran into the court.
"Where'd that little punk go?" The first mall cop growled, looking around.
"I dunno. I just don't know. What is he, a ninja?" The second mall cop panted. Baby Craig aimed his ketchup container, firing the thick red condiment all over the mall cops.
"HEY!!! WHO THREW THAT?!?!" They screamed. Duncan saw the whole thing and burst out laughing. They turned around, and saw Duncan was holding a ketchup container.
"I knew it! The first mall cop growled. Duncan's eyes widened.
"Wait! I-I-I-" Duncan didn't get to finish, because the two mal cops were dragging him off to be detained. Duncan screamed and cursed as he was dragged off. Baby Craig watched with an evil smirk.
"Dumb cops." He snickered to himself. He saw Baby Paul walk by.
PAUL!!!! Baby Darkstar yelled telepathically through his link with his brother. Baby Paul smiled.
Hi, Craig. I was going to get a guitar and presents for the girls. Baby Paul responded telepathically.
Mojo wants your butt home, now!
Don't tell me you take orders from that meanie.
I take orders from no one!
Except Wanda. Baby Paul smirked in Baby Craig's direction. Baby Darkstar blushed.
SHUT UP!!!! Baby Craig mentally snapped.
I need to find presents for the girls and get a guitar. Baby Paul replied. Come with me. Baby Darkstar shrugged.
Might as well. I can't go back without John and he's gone too. Baby Craig sighed.
Maybe he's off fighting aliens from under the bed. He was trying to do that last time. Baby Paul shrugged. Spiral wasn't too happy when he set fire to her favorite bedspread.
Thank God for your charms. Baby Craig sighed mentally as he joined his brother.
Well, another chapter done and dusted! Will Baby Paul get his guitar? Will the X-Baby Boys get their revenge on Baby Paul? Most likely not. Can Amara and Baby John stop the evil pink monsters and rescue Baby Pyro's beloved lighter, Zippy? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions welcome!
