Dandelions: 1000   X-Men: 1

Disclaimer: I do not own X-men characters.

I'm not all that great with accents yet…so if they're a little off please forgive me.  This is my first fic remember.  And again caution this fiction might cause odd behavior in the presence of dandelions.

Chapter 2

***Outside With Team 1: Rogue, Gambit, and Beast***

           

            "Ain't this the most wonderful weekend evah!" Rogue was not impressed with the professor task, "Ah was gonna go t' the mall with Storm, an' now Ah'm stuck here pickin stupid dandelions with the swamp rat grinnin at me." Rogue continued to rant for a while longer until Beast cut her off.

"This is not how I was planning on spending my time either, my friend, but none the less we are here.  I believe we should make good of our situation and perhaps it will not be so terrible."

"Gambit tink dis not be so bad.  Could be worse.  Tink 'bout it chere, y' could be on a team wit Cyclops."  Gambit looked around and pondered the professor's threat.  "Y' really tink de professor watchin us?"

"Don' know Cajun.  Why don' ya find out?"  Rogue snickered to herself as Gambit found a group of flowers.  Rogue thought to herself ~*this should be good*~, as she watched thinking of the punishment Gambit was sure to receive.

"I do not think that would be a wise action…" advised Beast in vain, as Gambit was already in attack stance and ignoring all except for the flowers in front of him.

With the grace of a feline Gambit stalked the little yellow puffball, his quarry shivering in the wind.  His eyes gleamed, red irises burning on their ebony backdrop.  All was silent as a tumbleweed of grass blew between them.  Quick as a flash the card was out and surrounded in a pinkish glow.  He seemed afraid the flower would creep away, and refused to move his eyes from it to make sure it didn't get the chance.  The card flew toward the helpless weed.  There was a small explosion and a sizzle hiss before the innocent plant shriveled into a black pit.

Gambit grinned when after a moment nothing happened.  Seeming to have escapes the promised punishment he pulled out more cards.  The flowers seemed to huddle together for protection forming a hostile defense.  Unexpectedly Gambit dropped to the ground.

"AAHHH!!  DE FLOWERS! DERE LAUGHIN AT ME!  MAKE DEM STOP!"

Rogue and Beast doubled over with laughter as the Cajun writhed on the ground.
