This one is mostly humor, although I might end up with a couple of pairings. I don't really have anything else to say except enjoy!
The Day the Coffee was Drugged
Pietro smirked as he dumped the remaining contents of the little vial into the coffee.
He heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen so he took off in a gust of wind.
No sooner had he disappeared had the kitchen door swung open, revealing one very tired looking Rogue.
She slowly made her way over to the awaiting coffee and smiled happily as she poured it into her cup.
Right before she took a sip, she heard a rumbling.
She looked around the kitchen, trying to find the source of such a loud noise, but realized what it was after it was too late.
A big heard of mutant teens came pouring into the kitchen.
She sighed. Here we go again.
Within moments, the rumbling had stopped and she was alone in the kitchen once more.
She looked around the once spotless room. The coffee pot was now empty and the fridge was probably close to the same.
She sighed happily as she finally got to take a sip of the coffee.
She was only about half way through the cup of coffee when Kitty phased into the kitchen, holding a similar mug.
"Is there like any coffee left Rogue? It was really good this morning!" She asked Rogue.
Rogue shook her head as she finished gulping down her coffee.
Kitty was right, something had tasted different but Rogue couldn't put her finger on it.
Suddenly Rogue scrunched her face in concentration and held up her hand. After waving it in front of her face a couple of times, she turned to Kitty.
"Check it out Kit! It's mesmerizing!"
She began waving her hand in front of Kitty's face and a goofy grin spread across Kitty's face.
Just then Wolverine burst into the kitchen. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Kitty and Rogue.
"Stripes, Half-Pint, what the hell are you two doing?"
Rogue put her hand down and she and Kitty turned to Wolverine.
"Wow, calm down brother. Make love not war!" Kitty said, thinking it would calm him down.
Wolverine sniffed the air and walked over to the coffee pot.
"Okay, who slipped drugs into the coffee?"
Kitty looked at Wolverine, confused, "Drugs Mr. Logan? What gives you the idea there was drugs in the coffee?"
Rogue stumbled over to Wolverine and took the coffee pot.
"You're crazy! There was nothin in here except coffee." Rogue informed him.
Kitty took the pot and nodded. Suddenly her face lit up and she turned to Rogue.
"Hey Rogue, it's a coffee pot."
Rogue burst out in a fit of giggles and Wolverine sighed heavily.
"Why did Charlie pick this week to be gone?" He asked himself.
He snatched the coffee pot away from the girls and turned to put it in the sink, when he caught a scent.
It was familiar, he just couldn't place it.
"Speedy!"
"Hey Rogue! Speedy."
They broke out in another fit of giggles.
Logan sighed and looked at the two girls.
"Do you two know who else had coffee this morning?"
They stopped laughing and Rogue thought back to the stampede earlier that morning.
"Umm...everyone!"
Logan looked at the clock. "7:45. That means most of them have already gone to school!"
Kitty gasped. "School! Quick, let's go Rogue!"
"Oh no you don't. You two aren't going anywhere." Logan growled.
"But-but if we don't go to school and keep the others out of trouble who know what'll happen." Kitty pleaded, as even in her drugged state, she didn't want to miss a whole day of school.
"Besides, wouldn't you rather let the teachers handle us?" Rogue questioned.
Logan looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding his head.
"Fine, you can go, you two seem to be back to normal, but if you see the others making fools of themselves, send them back here. I'll drive you two to school; I have something I need to take care of there."
Kitty giggled again, "Speedy."
Logan shot her 'the look' and she quickly stopped laughing.
The three climbed into the X-Van and Logan took off down the driveway.
When they arrived at school, they saw the Brotherhood standing close to Lance's jeep, all laughing very hard.
Logan parked the van and headed over to where the boys were gathered, Kitty and Rogue in tow.
"What's so funny boys?" Logan asked in a warning tone.
The boys quickly stopped laughing and Lance was the first to blurt out, "Nothing!"
Meanwhile Kitty and Rogue had gotten distracted about halfway to the boys and were now staring at squirrel in a nearby tree.
"You think it needs help getting out of the tree?" Kitty asked Rogue.
Rogue watched the squirrel for a few moments before answering, "No, I think it's cats you have to help out of trees. Why don't we experiment? You go up there and we'll see if you can climb down."
Kitty nodded, "Good plan!"
Pietro tried to stifle his laughter as they observed the girls and their 'squirrel' watching.
"Are they staring at a plastic bag?" Toad asked.
Lance elbowed both the boys and smiled at Logan. "We have no idea what you're talking about! I mean, why would we of all people drug the X-Geeks? We saw the X-Geeks this morning and none of them was acting any differently than normal."
"I didn't say anything about you drugging them." Logan told the cowering boys.
"Uh-well..." Lance began, but was interrupted by Rogue's screams to save the 'squirrel' as Kitty climbed up the tree.
She picked up the plastic bag and threw it down to Rogue. "I think he's dead Rogue! We were too late! Why didn't the other students save him? Oh little Nibbles! You'll be missed dearly!"
"We should give him a proper burial." Rogue called back up the tree to Kitty.
"Umm Rogue...I'm stuck!"
Logan looked from the girls back to the Brotherhood boys and let out a sigh.
"Why me? Okay, you're all at school which means you're their responsibility now. I'm going home." Logan turned and walked back to the X-Van, ignoring the boys as they burst out laughing once more.
After he was gone, Kitty decided to try climbing out of the tree herself, but ended up falling the last few feet and landing on her butt on little Nibbles.
Rogue rushed over to the fallen Kitty and shoved her aside.
"What have y'all done to poor Nibbles? Now he's gonna haunt us!" Rogue lifted up the plastic bag and held it protectively.
Just then the bell rang, signaling that they had five minutes to get to their first class.
Kitty got up and brushed herself off and Rogue threw Nibbles over her shoulder, forgetting about him for the moment.
Lance finally managed to stop laughing and turned to Pietro.
"Nice work 'tro. This should prove to be an interesting day. We should get to class. After all we're in the same homeroom as Kitty and Rogue."
Pietro smirked, "I've never been this excited about going to school in my life."
