Pietro's Tea Party

To Firefly25: Hey there Firefly! Yeah, I can imagine Todd impersonating Steve Irwin and Lila playing Terri. I can only imagine the shock and scandal that would arise from Pietro's little 'hobby'. I hope you like the new chapter, and I can hardly wait to beta-read Chapter 2 of 'Reindeer Flotilla'.

Yeah, Todd is a bit of a klepto himself, but he's not as bad as Lila. I can imagine Lance wondering about Pietro's mind when he sees Pietro's tea party. Alright! Duncan getting attacked and screaming in a falsetto? I like it! I'll see if I can fit it in somewhere! I hope you like the new chapter, and I hope you put up the next chapter of 'Take the Long Way Home' quickly!

To Red Witch: Hey there Red Witch! I read the new chapter of "This Soap Opera Called Life", and I loved it! Man, ol' Kevin has some serious Daddy issues. I'll have to check out 'Tea and No Sympathy' and 'Pizza with Kitty' sometime. I hope you like the new chapter!

Chapter 3: You Gotta Be Kidding!

Bayville High

Paul Starr was walking in the quad, toward his next class. He did look rather odd, considering he was dressed like an 80s rocker. Several girls giggled and waved. Paul waved back. He saw Pietro sit on a curb. Paul blinked and ran down next to the depressed speedster.

"Hey, Pietro! What's up?" Paul grinned. Pietro sighed. "Now what's that all about? Quickie, you haven't been acting like yourself for the past three days. What's up?"

"Well, Paul…There's…something I want." Pietro sighed.

"What?" Paul asked.

"I saw this awesome sowing kit in the store three days ago." Pietro sighed. "And I can't buy it."

"Lance told me that your father gave you a credit card. Why not just charge on it?" Paul asked.

"No way. I can't." Pietro shook his head. "My old man would kill me. What'll the Pietro do?" He looked up at the sky. "Is there anyone who can help the Pietro?"

"Why not just save up some money?" Paul noticed his watch. "Oh! I gotta go! You'd better hurry, Pietro! You're going to be late for class!" Paul ran off. The 80s-dressing LA native ran into the building, only to run into Lance. "Lance, we're going to be…"

"Paul! Glad we found you!" Lance said quickly, interrupting Paul. "Look, we need to leave here now."

"Why?" Paul blinked.

"You'll see." Lance smirked. He grabbed Paul and pulled the LA mutant behind him. They went to Lance's jeep. In it was the rest of the Brotherhood. Lila was holding a small camcorder. "You'll love this, Paul." Lance threw Paul in the jeep, then jumped in himself. The Brotherhood drove off after they noticed Pietro zip away, using his mutant speed.

"We're going to film Pietro." Lila said excitedly.

"According to Lila and Toad, Pietro has been doing tea parties. We gotta see this." Fred grinned.

"We're going to send the tape to 'America's Wackiest Home Movies'." Todd added.

"$10,000 bucks, here we come!" Lila whooped. She and Toad high-fived. "Toddy and I am splitting it 50-50." Paul immediately started thinking. He was starting to get a feeling that Pietro's desire for a sewing kit and the tea parties were somehow connected. After all, he did remember that Pietro said that he did see a sewing kit he wanted three days ago, and he's been depressed that he wasn't able to buy it ever since. The Brotherhood drove up to their house. They quietly snuck in, being very careful to not allow Pietro to see them. "Here." She pointed at a window. The Brotherhood gathered at the window. Paul, Lance, Wanda, Todd, Craig, and Fred struggled to hold in their laughing as they witnessed Pietro engaging in the tea party. Lila also struggled not to laugh as she filmed Pietro.

"Would you like some more tea, Polly Prissy-Pants?" Pietro asked his dolly. "Yes, I would Pietro." He said in a girlish voice. "This is a great party, Pietro."

"We're in the money, we're in the money…" A snickering Lila sang under her breath.

"This'll be a winning video for sure." Wanda snickered.

"Hey guys, I think I may know why Pietro's acting like this." Paul realized. The other Brotherhood turned to him. "Today, I saw him in the quad. He looked rather mopey. He said to me that he saw a sewing kit he wanted, but he's depressed because he can't buy it. He can't use his credit card because his dad will kill him." The others blinked in amazement.

"I'm not surprised." Wanda crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"You're joking." Lance blinked. "Please tell me you're joking."

"I wish I was." Paul rolled his eyes.

"Let me get this straight: The reason is acting like a little girl out there is because he can't buy a sewing kit?!" Craig said in disbelief. "Man, Pietro is stupid."

"That boy has issues." Fred groaned.

BayvilleHospital

"Ahhhhh…" Duncan Matthews smiled as he walked out of the hospital. "I feel great! The wonders of modern medicine. God I love it AAAAAAAGH!!!!!" Duncan screamed as a group of dogs started mauling him. "AIEEE!!!" he screamed in a falsetto. "THAT'S NOT A CHEW TOY!!!!!!"

Bayville High

"I'm very concerned about him." Dorothy, Principal Kelly's secretary said to a couple cops as they approached the door of Kelly's office.

"We got it ma'am." One cop said. The cops opened the door, and found the place was a wreck. And in the middle of it was Robert Kelly, foaming about the mouth, and acting like an animal.

"RAAAGH!!!" He ran around on all fours, snarling and screaming like a wild animal. He knocked into walls and various pieces of furniture. He eyed a window and ran toward it.

"Stop him!" Once cop exclaimed. The cops ran to restrain Kelly. Kelly opened the window, and…

"AAAGH!!! BEES!!!" The swarm of bees flew in and started attacking Kelly. "RAAAAGH!!! EEEEEK!!! HELP ME!!!"

Well, well, well! Looks like the insanity shall continue! What madness will happen next? How will Pietro react to TV stardom? Will he get his sewing kit? What'll happen to Kelly and Duncan next? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
