Meanwhile back in the mansion, Remy's presence was finally detected. Xavier thought to himself for a moment and mentally called to Jean and Scott.
"Scott, Jean, would you please come to my office for a moment."
Moments later, Scott and Jean entered the office, both looking slightly concerned.
"Is there something wrong, Professor?" Jean asked with concern.
Xavier smiled at his two students and laced his fingers together. Looking at them, he addressed both of them, "No, Jean, there isn't a emergency. I've detected a visitor on the grounds. I believe he's hiding in the tree in the side yard by where the other students are playing a game of football. Gambit I believe."
"What?" asked Scott. "What's he doing here?" Jean put her hand on Scott's arm to calm him down.
"What would you like us to do, Professor?" asked Jean.
"I would like it if you two would find out why he's here. I believe he'd be more prone to talk to the two of you than me. Just find out why he's here. If he has nothing to hide, he'll talk to you. If you suspect anything, notify me immediately Jean," Xavier said to them.
Scott scowled and relutctantly agreed to Xavier's request. "Of course Professor. We'll find out."
"I'll ask Orono to obscure the vision of the other student's so they won't see any of you. It'll be easier if they don't notice him yet." Xavier told Scott.
"Right away Professor," said Jean.
Scott and Jean headed out the office and as they passed by the windows they saw a thick fog start to creep over the grounds.
"Storm sure is fast," Jean remarked.
"Yeah," Scott agreed.
Up in the tree, Remy noticed the fog as well. The fog was so thick that you could hold your hand right in front of your face and not see anything at all. He siezed the opportunity to get out of the tree. He'd have to come back another day. He tried to make his way through the fog without hitting anyone. Then the yelling began.
"Hey! What's going on?"
A flash of sparks was barely seen through the dense fog and someone screamed, "Don't set my hair on fire!"
"Whoops! Did I just, like, step on someone?"
"Yeah, Me! Watch out!"
"EDEN! GEROFF ME!"
"AHHHH! Who just tried to blast me?" another voice called out as a blast nearly hit them.
"There was NO mention of fog in the weather forecast for today!"
"You really need to stop watching the weather channel Jamie! And for the last time Eden. Get off me!"
"It wasn't Eden, sorry!"
"AUGH!! I can't see a thing!"
"Ow! Who scratched me? Rahne I said I was sorry for earlier already!"
The screaming and yelps of pain continued as Remy tried to find the gate. He turned to the left and walked right into Jean.
"Hello Gambit. Care to talk for a moment?" She asked him, leading him to the front of the house so he was out of sight of the others. She led him into the front door and met Scott in the foyer.
"What are you doing here?" Scott demaned.
"Well, dat's not very welcoming," Remy shot back.
"Answer me!" Scott nearly yelled.
"Boys boys boys," Jean started to say, "Scott, Stop!" she grabbed Scott's arm. "Remember what the Professor said."
Jean faced Remy and asked again in a much kinder tone, "What brings you here Remy?"
Thinking for a moment, Remy smiled a bit and said to the two of them, "Why mes ami's I would like to join the X-Men." He grinned lopsidedly at them and waited for thier reactions.
Scott's face contorted in anger and was nearly as red as his hair. Jean also looked taken aback.
"Well...... ah..... uh....," Jean stammered, trying to find words. Scott started to clench his fists.
"Are you mocking us? Or just spying, but there's now way you really want to join us," Scott somehow managed to get out through his clenched teeth.
"Scott, let him at least talk to the Professor. He'll be able to tell if he's being truthful," Jean said softly to Scott, recovering from the shock slightly.
Scott growled as he and Jean led Remy to Xavier's office. They passed by a large bay window and stopped for a moment. Rogue had just thrown the ball to Kitty, but got intercepted by Kurt.
"Ha ha Kitty! I've got the ball!" Kurt laughed at her.
"Not for long!" she said as she phased through him and grabbed the ball. He tried to chase her but Tabitha stuck our her foot and tripped him.
"Turnabout's fair play, wild blue yonder boy!" she laughed at him.
"Don't call me that! I hate it!" he yelled back at her.
Kitty ran into the end zone and spiked the ball. She yelled over to Kurt, "Yeah, and like, the fuzzy one is any better."
Bobby groaned, "This means we are tied again."
Rahne was laughing at Kurt and hung onto Jubilee for support.
"Enough blabbing, line up for the next play," Roberto yelled wiping dirt off his face.
Everyone lined up and Sam snapped the ball to Ray. "Go long Bobby!" he yelled before the threw the ball. Bobby caught the ball and started to run. He jumped back when Eden shot her lightining at him.
"Not so fast, Iceman," she said mocking Bobby's code name. Bobby spun around and tried to freeze her.
"Whoa!" she yelled as she jumped to the side as the ice headed towards Roberto. Thinking fast he melted the ice with his own power and mistakenly did it so all the cold water fell onto Rahne and Jublilee.
"NOT AGAIN!" Rahne yelled and ran to attack Bobby.
"Rahne! NO! WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?" Bobby yelled as the half dog, half girl chased him.
Jamie grabbed the ball at the same time Jublilee tried to, they were both latched onto the ball fighting for possesion. Tabitha tried to help Jublilee by throwing one of her boom balls at Jamie's feet. When it exploded, it threw both Jamie and Jublilee back and the ball came flying towrds the window Jean, Scott, and Remy were standing by.
"Jean! Quick! Stop the ball. We don't need any broken windows this week," Scott urged Jean.
Using her telekinetic powers, Jean stopped the ball an inch shy of hitting the windows. The teenagers were all looking for the ball since no one saw which direction it went. Jean then used her powers to throw the ball back at the kids, seeing it coming, Kitty jumped up and caught it, phasing through Ray and Eden. Tossing it to Rogue, she yelled, "Run fast! They are, like, still not paying attention!"
Rogue ran withthe ball and when Jamie tried to block her she pushed him out of her way. Ray charged up and aimed at Rogue. For the first time in the game, contact was made. He hit her in the leg and she fell, but passed the goal line as she fell. The girls started to cheer while the boys started booing.
"That was so unfair!" Jubilee yelled, helping Rouge off the ground.
"Are you ok?" Ray asked as Rogue passed him. "I swear I didn't try to hit you."
"Jerk," she said as she passed and pushed him out of her way.
"And with that, we are once agian, winning," announced Eden, brushing the leaves off her shirt.
"Not for long," Bobby replied.
The two of them started arguing again and everyone else joined in.
"Entertaining, aren't they?" Jean remarked with amusement.
"Dey are," Remy commented. "It's a wonder none of dem have been killed yet."
The three of them turned away from the window and continued downt he hall to Xavier's office. Scott pushed the door open and they were greeted by Xavier telling them, "I'll speak to Remy myself. Would you two mind keeping an eye on the other students? I'm growing concerned at the direction thier game is taking. We won't be long."
Jean nodded at Xavier's request and said to Remy, "Go ahead inside. Professor Xavier would like to speak with you."
