Emma Frost's office-

Emma Frost and Sean Cassidy, the head teachers of the Massachusetts Academy, are in Emma's office going through paperwork.

'Sean, I've been thinking. Do you think we should employ a new teacher?'

'Why d'ye think that Em?' Sean asks. 'It isnae if we're understaffed. We've only got eight students.'

'I don't agree.' Emma replies. 'You're away visiting Moira a lot recently and I've got FrostCorp to look after, who will watch the children then?'

'I suppose that ye've got me there.' Sean says. 'Have ye got anybody in mind?'

Emma flicks through her Rolodex and picks out a number.

'I have just the man.' She grins.

A dingy flat, somewhere in London-

Peter Norman Wisdom groans out loud as he is woken up by his phone ringing. He mutters something explicit and British and answers it.

{Good morning Mister Wisdom, I hope I didn't wake you.}

'I would say that it's nice to hear from you Frost but then we'd both know that I'd be lying.'

{The cool, sharp wit, as always.} Emma quips.

'Is this why yer phoned me?' Wisdom asks. 'Just ter insult me?'

{As much as it please me to do that, I have a business proposition for you.} Emma replies.}

Wisdom sighs and rubs the bridge of his nose.

'Can't it wait?' He groans. 'I've got a killer bloody headache.'

{I want you to come and teach my students.' Emma says, ignoring Wisdom's complaints.

'S'funny.' Wisdom says. 'Just then I thought that you'd asked me to come teach for yer.'

'That's because I did.' Emma replies.

'Oh bollocks.' Wisdom groans.

{Quite.} Emma replies. {Do we have a deal?}

'I suppose that if I refuse you'll send round Irish?'

'{As if I'd do that.} Emma replies. {I was going to come around myself and drag you out by the testicles.}

'Yer jokin' right?'

{I never joke about my work, Mister Wisdom.} Emma replies. {Now sit tight, I will be over shortly with some students.}

'I can't bloody wait.' Wisdom groans.

Later-

Pete is just about to pour himself another shot of Tequila when he is knocked off his feet by a flash of light.

'Jeez! Look at the state of this crap hole!'

'Jubilee, do not insult a man in his home, even if it isn't fit to house pigs in.'

'Up yours M!'

'Jubilee, Monet please, we're here to bring back Mister Wisdom, not to amuse him with your petty bickering. And Jubilation, I'd appreciate it if you kept the bad language to a minimum, not all of us are feral Canadians with an addiction to cheap cigars.'

'Bloody 'Ell!' Pete groans. 'I thought it would have took her hours ter get here!'

'The marvels of having a short Aborigine teleporter livin' in yer garden I guess.' Jubilee replies.

'I trust that you have all of your affairs in order.' Emma says. 'I wish to get back to Massachusetts as soon as possible, I have a casserole on.'

'An' we don't wanna miss that do we?' Jubilee mutters sarcastically. 'Cuz we all know how good Frosty's cookin' is!'

Emma just ignores Jubilee's comments about her culinary efforts and carries on talking to Wisdom.

'I have already had a spare room set out for you Mister Wisdom.' She tells him. 'Now please, hurry up. You may have an infinite amount of time to drink yourself into a coma while the rest of us have lives to lead.'

'Is she really this much of a bitch?' Pete whispers to Jubilee.

'And them some!' Jubilee replies.

'If we're all ready then?' Emma asks. 'Then we can leave.'

Another teleportation portal appears and everyone steps into it.

The Massachusetts Academy-

In the garden we see a squat Aborigine man twirling his bullroarer about. The fire beside him bursts into life, creating a portal, which Emma, Jubilee, Monet and Wisdom step out of. Emma and the others step out lightly but Wisdom isn't so lucky, he falls to his knees and proceeds to cough up the remainders of his previous meal.

'Classy!' Jubilee mutters.

'I bloody hate teleportin!' Wisdom groans.

'Let's go inside shall we?' Emma says. 'Jubilee, you take Mister Wisdom's luggage up to his room and I'll be up shortly.'

'Uh Frosty, he didn't bring any luggage.' Jubilee replies.

'I see.' Emma replies. 'I suppose that Sean will have to take you out shopping in the morning.'

'But he hates shopping.' Jubilee comments.

'Why do you think I chose him?' Emma grins.

Later-

Wisdom is now in his room, trying to settle his stomach from the last teleport. He groans as someone knocks on the door.

'Don't you people have any bloody decency?' He groans as he gets up to open the door. 'What?' he asks irritably.

'Uh, hi. I'm Paige. Miss Frost told me to come up and tell you that dinner will be ready in fifteen minutes.'

'Sorry luv.' Pete replies. 'I'm not hungry.'

'Okay, I'll go tell her.'

Pete rudely shuts the door in her face and goes back to bed.

Outside, Paige turns to Jono, Angelo and Penance, who were all hiding around the corner, as they didn't get a chance to see the newcomer and wanted to do so.'

'What's this guy like, chica?' Angelo asks.

{I dunno about you Ange.} Jono adds. {But he stank of bloody cigs!}

'Why must you always bring up the cigarette thing man?' Angelo moans. 'You know that Jubilee's makin' me give 'em up!'

{You are so whipped!} Jono 'grins.'

After dinner-

After everybody has had their dinner and spilt up to do their own thing, Pete walks down into the kitchen to look for some booze.

'C'mon, where's the bloody booze! I'd even settle for a half bottle of bloody French plonk if that's all they've got!'

Unknown by Wisdom, he is being watched. Penance watches him from the shadows. She is intrigued by the uncouth arrival. He smells like Stretchy- Grey-Skin before Yellow Coat made him give up the stinky paper sticks as well as that unusual short furry man that often come to visit Yellow Coat. Penance watches as he continues his search for booze.

Wisdom passes right past penance as he walks out of the room. Then he walks back in as he sees the liquor cabinet.

'Aha! The ol' trusty booze cupboard! Frosty's rollin' in money, she must have sumthin' worth drinkin' in here!'

Pete tries to wrestle open the cabinet but to no success.

'I suppose that I'll have ter do this the old-fashioned way!' He says, making up a hot-knife. He blasts the lock. The sudden sound spook Penance, and she jumps out of her hiding place in the shadows.

When Pete sees her, he lets out a girlish shriek and hits his head on the cabinet door, knocking himself out. Penance watches as he falls to the groan unconscious.

Emma, Sean, Jubilee and Jono runs in to see what the noise is all about.

'Penny!' Jubilee says. 'What happened?'

{It looks like Wisdom tried ter open up yer liquor cabinet Emma.} Jono says.

'Jono, you take him to the med bay and Sean; you make sure he isn't seriously damaged.'

'You never know Frosty.' Jubilee grins. 'It might have knocked some sense into him!'

Everybody groans at Jubilee's seriously bad joke and sets about tidying the mess while Sean and Jono heft up the unconscious Pete and carry him to the med bay.

END...

NOTES: Stretchy-Grey-Skin is uh... Skin. Stinky paper sticks are cigarettes and the short hairy man is what Penance calls Wolverine.

NEXT: Emma is feeling lonely because everybody has been paired up except her. Then she starts receiving mystery packages from a secret admirer in the X-men so she sets off to Westchester with Jubilee to find out who is sending here the packages.
