Hope everyone's enjoying the story, and don't forget dandelions are not our friends.
Chapter 4
***Outside With Team 3: Storm, Colossus, and Iceman***
"Well, I guess this isn't too bad. It could be worse, right? At least we're just pulling weeds, rather then anything hard. With a little oomph I could even make this fun." Iceman looked at the plants trying to figure out how to make this into a game. After a few moments he suddenly plucked a dandelion and started to grin.
"Got an idea?" asked Colossus unsure of what the outcome would be.
"Hee, hee, hee! I have quite the idea." Iceman positioned the flower in his hand and checked it to make sure the position was just right. "Momma had a baby, and it's head *popped* off." Iceman looked at the decapitated flower and giggled like a little schoolgirl before running towards another group of flowers and repeating what he'd just done.
"Momma had a baby, and it's head *popped* off. Momma had a baby, and it's head *popped* off."
"What is he doing?" Storm walked over to Colossus and they both watched Iceman running around taking the heads off the flowers one by one.
"I believe he has found a way to make this fun."
"Well, we will allow him to continue as long as he doesn't interfere with us doing our work." They then, of course, went to work but were inevitably interrupted by Iceman who was not content to play his game solo.
"Come on you two! Try it! It's fun!"
"I am not interested." Storm ignored him and continued to work.
"Colossus please!" Iceman gave a pleading look that couldn't be refused.
"Alright. What am I to do?"
"Just do what I do." He picked another dandelion and watched as Colossus mirrored his action. "Momma had a baby, and it's head *popped* off."
Colossus repeated the rhyme and popped of the head of the dandelion while saying the corresponding word exactly like Iceman. He found it strangely… fun and exciting. He quickly picked another flower and another and popped their tops while saying the phrase.
