OK everybody here's chapter 13. A really short one I know, but it's just of an in-between thing. So just read it and be happy!

"That is so not true and you know it!" Squealed the barefoot girl who was now playfully throwing a pillow at he green man lying confortablely on her sofa.

"It is to, anything that happy must be evil!" He retreated as he threw the pillow back at her in the same manor.

Eva shook her head dismissing the imitating argument the couple were having. But she was interrupted by the sound of her companion laughing at her facial expression.

"Brain freeze! Brain freeze!" She yelped as she nearly dropped her bowl of mint chocolate chip on the floor.

"Grrrr!" She insisted as her feet violently flew around nearly kicking her friend in the face.

"Hey watch it there!" He said in-between his gulps of laugher. He was beginning to learn that the look on her face at that moment probably wouldn't be seen very often so he just had to take advantage.

"Gee thanks for the help." She said sarcastically as she began to calm down several minutes later.

"No problem." He said with the most self-assured smirk she had seen all night. And she decided to enjoy the sight for the small moment it was there, because it was so unlike the person she knew that sat next to her she wasn't sure if it was him for a moment.

Noticing her intense stare he pulled his face away from the look of curiosity in her eyes. Looking at him like she was trying very heard to figure something out.

"Toad?" He sighed at the sound of that name. Somehow it didn't seem right coming from her mouth. He didn't wanted to tell her his real name, maybe it would of been better than the mocking sounding like with the rest of the Brotherhood.

"Why did you come to America?" She asked suddenly. And not exactly being the question he was expecting he was ready to answer when he suddenly remembered that the answer wasn't a pleasant one.

"I...didn't have any choice." He stated looking straight ahead of him. His voice becoming cold and hard like he had a rock had been inserted in the center of his throat.

Deciding quickly that the past wasn't the best conversation topic of the moment she quickly turned her attention to the blank television in front of her. Sliding down on the flood grabbed his attention and she could feel his eyes on her as she inserted another disk and happily pressed play. She backed to her original spot and smirked happily at his confused face.

Then suddenly and without warning images of Carebears popped onto the screen.

"No!" He called ignoring her roaring laugher as she grabbed at her stomach to keep herself upright.

"It the best cartoon in the world...and NOW you know it." She managed through one of her fits of laughter.

Toad however was clutching to the sofa cushions to dear life with his mouth open in awl and his eyes fixed in mock horror.

"No make it stop!" He began to plead. But soon even he couldn't control the swell of joy he felt in his chest from watching her laughing, and soon joined her in the childish act.

A large and angry pair of brown eyes watched the happy two through the bay window where the curtains hadn't bothered to be closed.

"I knew he was up to something!" Sneered Sabertooth as he began to explain to the calm Mystique in the room.

"You should of seen them together..." He whispered with disgust "It was like...they were friends or something."

Re-crossing her legs for the second time Mystique began studding her nails. "She is clearly distracting him from the mission at hand." She said plainly enough.

"I agree." He said turning to face her. "But what are we going to do about it?"

Mystique smiled slowly and shook her head as though she was reviling an already simple fact. "We get rid of the distraction."

"I don't think Eric would appreciate that." He replied in a low tone.

She sighed clearly becoming annoying. "Well Eric doesn't understand these things like we do. Besides," She said as she stood and walked up to him. Obviously annoyed that she had to explain the situation further.

"We only need her until Saturday anyway right? So who's going to notice if she doesn't come back...?"

Both villains nodded and smiled with the verbal agreement.
