Generation-X

Disclaimer- I don't own any familiar characters, they all belong to Marvel.
Shout Outs-
Showstopper- I suppose that I should have had them find a whip or something kinky in Emma's drawer. That would've been funny. I originally got the Bobby/squirrel bit from an episode of the Simpsons. Just replace Bobby with Homer.
Anything but ordinary- I suppose that Emma keeps her kinky stuff in her room. I don't know where the Twinkie thing came from, I haven't found any evidence of Hank's Twinkie addiction in the comics.
Tokyo Fox- Jubilee? Uh... okay. Glad you liked it. Enjoy this one!
Agent-G- I don't think that Pete will take any of Emma's money, the guy does have morals. Not many, but he does have some! Besides, would you steal from a telepath with a penchant for whips and stuff?
Massachusetts Academy-
It's breakfast time at the Massachusetts Academy and the members of Generation-X are in the kitchen eating their respective breakfasts. The only ones not there are Emma Frost and Sean Cassidy. Sean is still visiting Moira MacTaggart over at Muir Island and Emma is still in bed. Last night was her first date out with her not-so secret admirer, Hank McCoy. Hank came back to the Academy and stayed the night. Speculation is rife about what happened next.
'Hey, Paige.' Jubilee says, spraying a mouthful of Sugar Bombs everywhere. 'Do yer think Frosty's nailed Hank yet?'
Paige rolls her eyes at Jubilee's lack of manners and puts down her whole- bran cereal.
'First thing Jubes.' She replies. 'Don't eat with your mouthful. The second, I don't think it's any of our business whether Ms Frost or Dr McCoy slept together last night or not.'
'Personally I've got twenty bucks bettin' that they've both done the deed.' Pete Wisdom adds.
'I still say that you're wrong. Mister Wisdom.' Monet replies. 'Ms Frost may have a reputation as a temptress but this is their first date after all. I trust that you and Shadowcat didn't sleep together on your first date.'
Pete just sips his coffee in silence.
{Bloody 'ell!} Jono gasps. {Don't tell me that yer did!}
'Way to go Wisdom!' Angelo grins. 'Back of the net!'
'So yer usin' soccer analogies now?' Pete asks with a grin.
Angelo just ignores the comment and continues with his waffles.
'So what was Pryde like?' Jubilee asks. 'Cuz I've heard stories.'
'I doubt that Mister Wisdom wishes to reveal the secrets of his sordid past.' Emma says from the doorway. 'So I wouldn't ask if I were you.'
'Nice ter see yer too, Frosty.' Jubilee replies. 'So did yer bone Hank or not?'
'A gentleman does not boast about such matters.' Hank replies, swinging in through the door. 'Ooh! Twinkies!'
'Your addiction ter pastries ain't gonna stop me from getting' ter the truth.' Jubilee says. 'I'm gonna find out whether yer rocked the Kasbah last night or not!'
'I doubt that we will have time for that Jubilation.' Hank replies. 'I believe that Emma has something to tell you.'
'Yes Hank.' Emma replies. 'I indeed have something to announce. All lessons are temporarily on hold as we are about to go on a camping trip!'
Jubilee and Angelo jump into the air and high-five each other.
'Booyah!' Jubilee yells. 'No lessons!'
Monet and Paige however don't jump up into the air. Monet is to dignified to partake in such an action and Paige, well...
'Aww nuts.' The younger Guthrie pouts. 'There was going to be a test and I studied all for nothing.'
Penance meanwhile observes the proceedings with a bemused expression. She looks upto Pete and tugs on his sleeve, getting his attention.
{Umm, Pete. I'm a little confused.}
'What's got yer confused, luv?' Peter replies.
{All this talk.} Penny says. {Boning, nailing, rocking the Kasbah, what do they mean?}
'I'll tell yer when yer older.' Pete replies matter of factly.
Later-
Everybody is packing up a rented van for the trip. Monet narrowed her vast wardrobe down to two holdalls while Jubilee just settled to a single knapsack and her lucky hat.
Hank finishes loading up the luggage when Pete walks out the door struggling with a heavy-looking bag, with suspicious-sounding clinking resounding from inside.
'Let me help you with that Pete.' Hank says.
'No, that's alright.' Pete replies. 'Yer don't have ter.'
'Oh no.' Hank says. 'I insist!'
Hank takes a vacant strap and tries to wrest the bag away from Pete.
'No!' Pete moans. 'Give it back yer fuzzy blue bloody ape!'
A tugging match ensues at both Pete and Hank try to gain control of the bag.
'Jeez.' Jubilee mutters. 'The way Wisdom's wrestlin' over his bag, yer'd think that he's got his whole Tequila stash in there!'
'You mind yer own bloody business about my Tequila stash, Lee!' Pete replies.
Several hours later-
The van containing the team, and Pete, pulls up in the campsite's car park. The doors swing open and the kids flood out. Before they can get too far however, Emma gives them a telepathic shout.
{Before you run off anywhere,} She says. {We need to set up the tents, so get busy!}
A collective groan rises from the gathered mutant kids.
'So where's the bar in this place?' Pete asks, getting out of the van.
'I specifically chose this campsite due to the fact that does not have a public house or strip club in a fifteen mile radius.' Emma replies.
Pete falls to his knees and pounds his fists on the ground.
'Why do you hate me God?' He yells skywards.
{Umm, Pete.} Penance pipes up. {Don't forget about your Tequila.}
Pete suddenly perks up and gets up off the ground.
'C'mon you lot.' He says. 'What d'yer say that we get unpacked already? The sooner we unpack, the sooner I can crack into me Tequila stash an' get trashed!'
{Well this trip's gonna be fun.} Jono mutters.
Elsewhere-
Another van pulls up into a separate car park and four people get out. They are Kitty Pryde, Piotr Rasputin, Kurt Wagner and Sarah, four members of the Uncanny X-Men.
'It's certainly nice to get out of the Mansion.' Kitty says. 'Ahh, smell that fresh air!'
'I think it suck!' Sarah pouts.
'Why so glum, Sarah?' Kitty replies, tousling the former Morlock's hair. 'You never know, we might have fun!'
'Yes, I agree with Katya.' Piotr adds. 'It will do you good to get some fresh air.'
'I still say it sucks.' Sarah pouts again, this time crossing her arms defiantly.
Kurt sniffs the air unsurely.
'Can anybody smell cigarettes?' He asks.
The others just shrug nonchalantly.
'It must be me then.' Kurt sighs.
Back with Gen-X-
It is now nightfall and the members of Generation-X, unaware of the new arrivals, are sitting around the campfire. Jubilee rustles around in her pack and fishes out a torch. She switches it on, illuminating her face.
'Who's for a ghost story?' She asks ominously.
'Oh please!' Paige groans. 'That is so old. What about a campfire song? Jono could play his guitar.'
{No can do, luv.} Jono replies. {I left me guitar back home.}
'Frosty could always tell us what she got up ter with Hank last night.' Jubilee says, with an evil grin.
'Ghost stories it is then.' Emma sighs, snatching away the torch.
'I'm just gonna take a leak.' Pete adds. 'That bloody Tequila's playin' havoc with me bladder!'
{Thanks fer telling' us that, guv.} Jono replies.
Pete just ignores the comment and goes into the woods to answer the call of nature.
Later-
Pete has finished his business and is on his way back to the camp. He halts midstep as he hears the bushes rustle behind him.
'Okay, there's nuthin' ter be worried about. It's most probably a raccoon, or a hockey mask-wearin' psychopath!'
Pete cautiously approaches the bush. He steps forward and pushes through the fronds. Then, something pounces!
'Argh! Bloody 'ell!' Pete screams. 'Jason bleedin' Vorhees!'
Pete calms down once he hears giggling. He turns around and sees Penny holding her sides in glee.
'Oh very funny Penance.' He growls. 'Yer almost gave me a bloody heart attack!'
{I'm sorry.} Penny giggles. {I couldn't resist it!}
'Well that's good an' all but I'm headin' back ter camp.' Pete replies. 'As soon as I can remember where the bloody camp is.'
Penance watches as Pete mentally retraces his steps.
'I think it's this way.' He says, pointing one way. 'Oh wait, it's this way. Oh bollocks, I'm bloody lost!'
Pete then goes to lean against a tree to gather his thoughts only to fall backwards and tumble down a hillside. Penance runs after him.
'Ow! Bollocks! Oh me bleedin' back! Aww sod it! Ow! Damn!'
Pete finally stops at the bottom of a hill and looks up at his surroundings. He groans as he realises who the people are around him.
'Oh bugger me backwards!' He groans.
'Pete?' Kitty gasps.
'Mein Gott!' Kurt adds.
'Comrade Wisdom.' Piotr nods nonchalantly.
'I ain't got no frickin' idea who you are buddy.' Sarah yawns.
