Crouching Toad, Hidden Chameleon: Part 2 - Cameal's First Day
Cameal squinted in her sleep as a large beam of sunlight came in through the window, onto her face.
She turned her head away from the bright light and let out a big yawn, revealing her dark green forked tongue and slightly long canines.
She rubbed her right eye as she sat up in the hammock she slept in.
She pushed back the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles blanket that covered her so that she could lean over and check what time it was on the little alarm clock that stood on the dresser across from her.
" 9:45 already...?" She said sleepily as she stretched her arms out above her head.
She looked around the room she was in and got confused for a moment, but then remembered that she was in Todd's room.
She peered over at his bed and realized he wasn't there.
Todd's room had clothes scattered all over the floor, with a dresser or two that was overstuffed with unfolded clothes and a small closet.
When Cameal tried to climb out of the hammock, she ended up falling out, landing on her back with a loud "Thud!".
"Ow...." She said as she slowly sat up, suddenly Lance's voice was heard shouting from the hallway "What the hell was that!?", and soon enough everyone came running to Todd's room to see what happened.
"Aw geez! Cameal, are you ok??" Todd said as he and Pietro helped her up.
Cameal rubbed her back a little then looked to Todd "Yeah, Im fine, the hammock is just a bit wobbly but..." she said turning to Pietro, "Thank you.." she finished saying with a smile.
"No prob!" Pietro said proudly, Cameal dusted off her blue penguin tank top and matching pants Pj's and followed the gang to the kitchen for breakfast.
While entering the kitchen, she happened to see Mystique eating a granola bar, just about to leave the kitchen.
"Um, Hi Mystique!" She said as Mystique walked by, but she acted as if Cameal wasn't even there.
Cameal then remembered how Mystique objected to her staying there when Todd first brought her home.
She remembered how Todd defended her during the whole argument, but she finally let Cameal stay when she showed Mystique her powers.
Cameal let out a sigh, then she saw Wanda sitting on the kitchen counter eating a bowl of cereal and smiled, thinking that she finally found another girl she can talk to and relate.
"Good morning Wanda!" She said cheerfully, "Hi." Wanda replied after swallowing the cereal in her mouth.
"Um...what's up?" Cameal said leaning back against the counter, swaying her long, curled lizard tail back and forth behind her.
"Nothing." Wanda said taking another bite of cereal, "Same here...." Cameal said looking down a bit.
Wanda then slid herself off the counter top and started to walk away, heading towards the living room, and Cameal sighed once again.
Suddenly, out of nowhere Todd jumped in front of Wanda, causing her to stop.
"Hey Babycakes! How ya doin'?" he said, trying to be smooth.
"Leave Me Alone Toad!!!" She shouted as she extended her arm and consumed him in blue energy, shooting him across the room, causing him to smash into a wall in the kitchen.
Cameal blinked in confusion, running over to Todd, who was currently stuck in a hole that was shaped like an outline of his body in the wall.
"Are you ok Todd?!" Cameal said as she tried to pull him out of the wall, "Yeah, Im alright.." he said looking at her upside down.
Suddenly he was pulled out of the hole, but remained upside down in the air.
She blinked and turned to see Freddy holding Todd upside down by his leg.
"Don't worry Cameal, Wanda's always like that" he said as he set Todd down, "She's so violent.." she said looking up at him.
"Yeah, she mostly gets like that whenever Toad starts hitting on her" Freddy said laughing, "Hey, shut up yo!" Todd said frowning, giving Fred a nudge.
Cameal felt her heart ache, suddenly feeling weak and she stumbled a bit.
Freddy caught her in time before she could fall, "Cameal! are you alright??" Todd said as he helped with holding her up.
"Y-yeah...Im ok.." She said as she looked to him.
"Are you gonna be ok?" Freddy said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
Cameal looked up at him, smiled and said "Of course, I think I just need some food in my stomach" she laughed a bit.
Fred pulled out a chair for her, and just as Cameal sat down, Lance came in with Pietro.
Cameal looked up and smiled "Hey Lance, hi Pietro!", "Hi Cameal.." Lance said tiredly, "Hi Cameal!" Pietro said as he sat next to Lance.
"Hey Blob, can you get us some cereal here?!" Pietro whined, Freddy glared at him and said "Why don't you get it yourself?! I hate being your servant!".
"I'll get it!" Todd said as he jumped up onto the countertop, Pietro snickered and turned to Freddy "See, Toad is a fast learner" he teased.
"Why you...!" Freddy said, about to grab him when Todd cried "Aw man!.." and everyone turned and said "What?".
"There's only enough cereal left for one person..." Todd said with a frown, "Shit..." Pietro said as he let out a groan.
"Don't we have anything else Toad?!" Lance said, obviously getting a bit cranky.
"Um, lemme check" he said nervously, sifting through the cabinets.
"Uh...." Todd said just as she was getting to the very last cabinet, "Well??" Lance said, getting annoyed.
"Oh wait! I Found something!" Todd shouted, his upper-half still in the cabinet, "Lemme see Toad!" Pietro said in anticipation.
Todd hopped down from the counter holding a bunch of large and small boxes of different flavored Poptarts, "We got Poptarts!" he said with a big toothy grin.
"Good enough" said Lance, grabbing a box of strawberry flavored Poptarts as Todd dumped them on the table.
Cameal looked through the flavors, but she couldn't find any that she liked.
She looked over to Todd and said "Hey Todd? Can I have the cereal do u have left? I don't really like Poptarts..".
He blinked a bit and turned to her, "Uh, sure! You can have the rest if you want Cameal!" he said as he went back over to the cabinet and retrieved the cereal.
He handed it to her and said "Here, it's my favorite, but you can have the rest!" , Cameal slightly blushed and took it from him then looked down at the box to see what kind it was.
It was one of those Disney cereals, this one had Pumbaa and Timone on the cover, the cereal's name- "Chocolate Mud & Bugs".
It was just the thing she liked, cocoa puff-like cereal with bug-shaped Marshmallows!
Cameal gave Todd a warm smile, "That's so sweet of you Todd...Thank you!" she said as she gave him a hug.
"Oooooo!" the other 3 chimed as they watched Todd blush light red.
"Toad's got a Girlfriend!" Freddy chanted, "A look guys, he's blushing!" Pietro teased, "Don't they look sooo cute together?" Lance said making kissy noises.
"Aw c-come on guys knock it off, yo!" Todd said as Cameal released him from the hug.
She stood up next to Todd and grinned "Aw, are you guys Jealous that Todd's getting all the affection?", that made them shut up.
"I-Im not Jealous!" Lance said, crossing his arms.
"W-Why would I be Jealous?" said Freddy, looking in the opposite direction.
"Me? Jealous of him?? I could get a date anytime I want!" Pietro laughed.
Todd covered his mouth, laughing a bit, "Hey shut up wart boy!" Lance growled, getting annoyed.
"Ooh, do I sense some hostility?" Cameal said playfully as she went around the table, stopping behind Lance's chair.
Lance blinked a few times, "Awww, does Lance want a huuug?" Cameal said in a cute voice.
"Uh, I....." Lance said bashfully, "Go on Lance, you know you wanna!" Pietro said, laughing.
"Yeah, go on Lance" Freddy said, grinning.
Finally, he gave in, "Oh...Ok!" Lance said, pouting a bit.
Cameal laughed a bit and gave him a big hug, making him blush a bit from embarrassment.
"Do the rest of you guys want hugs too?" she said as she released him and turned to the rest of them with a smile on her face.
"Uhhh....." the boy's said in sync, "Aw come on! Group Hug!" Cameal said, pulling the four boys into the hug.
Lance and Pietro tried escaping, but Cameal and Freddy wouldn't let them.
Cameal looked at them and said "I feel so loved, you guys are the best (and only) friends I've ever had!...".
The Brotherhood Boys blinked and looked at one another, then smiled.
"Wow, thanks Cameal, I've never been anyone's best friend, well, except for Todd's" he said putting a hand on the back of his head.
Cameal smiled and said "Your welcome! Now how about we get back to breakfast?", they all nodded to each other and separated, taking their seats at the table once again and chowing down.
Later in the afternoon.....
It was that time of the Month, when Todd has to take a shower.....
Cameal came out of Todd's room dressed in an olive green tanktop, baggy black parachute pants that went a bit past her knees, and black sneakers.
She walked down the hall, minding her own business, when she heard the shower running in the bathroom and stopped dead in her tracks.
She looked to the door and walked up to it, curious of who was in there.
She quickly looked around, checking to see if anyone was around.
When it was confirmed that she was ok, Cameal slowly pressed her ear up against the door and listened.
Todd could be heard singing the well-known Brak song: "I Love You Baby!", in the shower, and when Cameal realized that it was him, her faced turned red as she let out a gasp, quickly jumping back from the door.
"OK Cameal! your going to walk away now! slowly...." she said to herself as she turned toward, trying to act casual as she began to walk away.
As she turned the corner to go down the stairs, seconds later, the bathroom door quietly creaked open and closed by itself.
Todd heard something and quickly poked his head out the shower curtains, looking around to see if anyone was there.
When he was done looking, he went back to showering.
Cameal let out a small sigh of relief, slightly blushing as she stood there in front of the door, Invisible.
As Cameal climbed up onto the wall, about to get a glimpse of him, the bathroom door's keyhole suddenly started to glow and smoke.
Cameal caught it out of the corner of her eye and blinked in confusion, but before she knew it, the door was blown off its hinges and fell flat on the floor.
She coughed a bit from the smoke that filled the room, but tried to keep it low enough for no one to hear.
Another set of coughs came from the doorway, "whoo! Guess I over did it a bit this time!" a voice said as a figure entered the bathroom.
It was none other than Tabitha Smith a.k.a: Boom-Boom, breaking an entry on the Brotherhood and once AGAIN invading Todd's personal time.
"I still never get any Privacy!" Todd shouted as he poked his head out the shower once again, really annoyed.
"Oh get over it Toad" Tabitha said rolling her eyes as she picked up a bottle of mouthwash and took a swig of it.
Cameal (still invisible)glared at Tabitha, badly wanting to teach her a thing or two about manners (though she should be the last one to think that, since she's spying on Todd and all).
Cameal looked over at Todd as he said "Don't you ever get tired of this, yo?" he whined.
After Tabitha was done using the mouthwash, she spit it out into the sink and turned to him.
Todd blinked as she gave him a evil grin, "Come to think of it, No" Tabitha said, forming a little glowing ball then tossing it up towards the shower.
Cameal gasped, knowing that if it exploded in the shower, Todd would get badly hurt, and the thought of it happening made her sad and pissed off.
"Grrr!" she growled as she un-camouflaged herself and jumped at the little fireball.
This caught both Todd and Tabitha by surprise as Cameal missed the catch, but instead un-curled her lizard tail and bat it back at Tabitha.
"EEK!" Tabitha shrieked as her own attack was deflected and blew up in her face.
"Hey Cameal, you ok??" Todd said as he searched around, trying to find her through all the smoke even though he still had to remain there in the shower.
"Im fine" she said, sitting up next to the shower.
When the smoke finally cleared, Cameal and Todd looked up to see Tabitha standing there, trembling and burnt.
Her hair, face and clothes were charred black, some parts of her shirt were either burned off or were falling off.
After a few moments of silence, Tabitha let out a scream, covering the exposed sections of her shirt with her arms and ran out of the bathroom, crying.
"And Stay Out!" Cameal said, laughing a bit, Todd laughing as well.
As Tabitha ran down the stairs, wailing loudly- Pietro, Lance, Fred, and Wanda poked their head's out from the kitchen + living room into the hall, wondering what all the racket was.
Suddenly, a crazed Tabitha zoomed by, grabbing Lance's car keys and ran out the door, driving away with his Jeep.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, chuckled a bit, shrugged and went back to what they were doing, except for Lance.
Lance still remained there in the hall silent for a moment, then suddenly he began throwing a temper tantrum.
"She Took The Fucking Car Again!! God Dammit!! This Is Fucking Injustice!!!" Lance shouted, pissed off about his car being taken once more.
As for Todd and Cameal, they were still laughing and joking about Tabitha(Todd currently has a towel wrapped around him now).
"Wow! That really BLEW her away!" Todd cracked, "Bet she thought that was a real BLAST!" Cameal said, laughing hysterically.
Todd smiled at her and said "thanks for saving my butt Cameal", she blushed a bit and said "No problem...".
Then Todd thought for a moment, "But I can't help but wonder...Why were you in here?" he said, looking to her.
Cameal's cheeks turned dark red as she began to sweat, "U-Um, W-Well...I-I..." she stuttered as Todd continued to give her a suspicious look.
"I.. Gotta go! Bye!" she said as she rushed out the door, tripping over a few things as she ran down the hallway.
Todd just stood there in the middle of the bathroom with a confused expression on his face.
About an hour and a half later.....
Cameal was hanging out in her hammock, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about her former home, as well as her parents.
She remembered how she would always lie on her bed, dreaming of the day she would escape from that hellhole and find the guy of her dreams to run off with and live happily ever after.
She blushed as Todd entered her thoughts, and she smiled.
She didn't expect a Toad to be her Knight in shining armor who would rescue her from peril, like she'd usually dream about in her sleep, but even Toads can turn out to be hansom Princes.
He may not of looked like it, but Todd had a good heart....and she loved him for who he was both inside and out.
In the middle of her daydreaming, Todd happened to walk into the room.
"Oh hey Cameal!" Todd said as he came in and saw her in the hammock.
She quickly sat up "T-Todd! W-What are you doing here??" she said, blushing a bit.
"Well, besides it being my room, I came to see how you were doin', yo!" he said, smiling at her.
She blinked, feeling a little stupid, "O-Of course...." she said, her cheeks starting to turn a darker shade of red.
Suddenly the window in Todd's room was blown open.
The explosion sent Todd flying back into his dresser drawers, while Cameal was thrown from her hammock and onto the floor.
"Ow....What the Hell?!?" Cameal said as she sat up and looked at the huge hole where the window used to be.
Suddenly a voice called to her from outside "Come on down and face me you little salamander! Im gonna make you pay for what you did to me!!" : It was Boom-Boom.
"Cameal?" Todd said weakly as she turned towards the door where Pietro, Freddy, Lance and Wanda stood silently.
"Pietro." Cameal said in a serious tone with an expression very similar to the one SSJ Gohan had when fighting Cell in the Cell Saga (and THAT'S someone you DON'T wanna mess with!).
Pietro responded quickly with a "Y-Yes?" and quickly went to her side.
"Suit me up." she said, slightly narrowing her eyes, Pietro nodded and within an instant he left the room and came back with her battle uniform in hand.
Cameal then straightened herself out straight as she spread her arms out straight to the side.
Pietro nodded in response and started running around her, creating a small whirlwind/tornado around her as he replaced her normal clothes with her battle uniform.
Within a few moments, the whirlwind ceased as everyone stared at her.
Cameal stood there dressed in a green, scale-patterned tank topish shirt that was held together at the shoulders and sides by black straps.
Her hands were covered by black leather gloves with the fingers cut out.
Her pants and boots were similar to Toads, only the pants had a hole in the back for her tail to go through and the boots covering her shins were covered by a long row of sharp spikes.
"Cameal?" Todd repeated, blinking, overwhelmed by her new appearance.
Cameal turned to him, "It's Chameleon now." she said turning her back to him as she began heading towards the gaping hole, in which her opponent was on the other side of.
"Cameal, wait!!" Todd shouted as he tried to get up, but unfortunately he was still a bit injured from the impact of the last explosion.
"Where'd she get threads like that?" Lance said as he watched her leave to go out to battle, "I made them for her, pretty Ingenious huh?" Pietro said, beaming with pride.
As Chameleon leaped out the hole, everyone gathered around the opening to watch the fight, Freddy letting Todd sit on his shoulder so that he had a better view.
Chameleon gracefully landed in a crouched position about 2 ft. away from her opponent, Boom-Boom, who was also dressed in her plain old boring yellow and navy blue uniform.
"It's about damn time, sure took your sweet time" Boom-Boom said as she crossed her arms and grinned.
"Oh quit your bitching, Im sure you have better things to do in your freaken spare time then waste mine, like how about getting a new hairstyle for one thing?" Chameleon said with a fanged grin.
Boom-Boom growled, "Your payin' for what you did to me!!!" she shouted, forming a fist with her hand.
"Oh please, you got a lot of nerve thinking you can just waltz in here whenever you please and do whatever the fuck you want?! I don't think so little miss slut-slut, your in Chameleons territory now." Chameleon said as she placed her hands on her hips.
Boom-Boom stood there shaking in rage, "Why....You!!!" she shouted as she made a dash towards Chameleon.
Boom-Boom then threw a punch at her face, but Chameleon managed to duck and avoid it.
And just as Boom-Boom's punch missed her head, the lizard-girl was about to uncurl her long tail, wrap it around Boom-Boom's wrist and slam her onto the ground.
Chameleon chuckled a bit as she watched Boom-Boom get up and attempt at it a 2nd time.
But this time: Chameleon delivered a sharp punch to her gut, which caused Boom-Boom to drop to one knee, clutching her stomach.
From the 2nd floor, the other's can be heard cheering for Cameal, surprisingly, even Wanda was cheering.
But this time, Boom-Boom got a hold on herself and calmed down, knowing that she'd do better when focused.
As Chameleon was distracted by her fans, Boom-Boom managed to rise to her feet, and her hand began glowing.
While Todd was cheering for her, he turned and saw Boom-Boom about to throw one of her little exploding fireballs at her.
"Behind you!!!" he shouted as Boom-Boom hurled it at her, Chameleon quickly turned to see the glowing ball flying at her.
Luckily she flipped backwards, just as the thing exploded.
"Heh, trying to hit me when Im not looking, eh? How cheap" Chameleon laughed a bit, "Come and get it" Boom-Boom said with a sly grin, forming more glowing balls in her hand.
Chameleon kneeled down and took off running on all fours towards Boom-Boom.
Boom-Boom then threw them at her, Chameleon barely dodged them as they flew at her, exploding seconds after.
Just when Chameleon was about to jump at her, Boom-Boom pulled out 3 more and flung them at her.
Luckily Chameleon was about to deflect them back at her with her tail.
But Boom-Boom was able to dodge it this time "Damn that tail! There's gotta be a way to get rid of it!" she thought to herself, but a moment later she came up with an idea.
Boom-Boom suddenly started to repeat what she did just a moment ago, which came as a surprise to Chameleon.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Chameleon thought to herself as she once again dodged the explosions.
But this time when Chameleon went to deflect the fireball with her tail, it exploded on impact with her tail.
Chameleon cried out in pain as the upper-half of her tail was blown off.
The others watched in horror as Cameal's tail landed not too far behind her, squirming like a worm on the ground, then stopping a minute later, blood pouring from her tail stem.
"Ooo, that's gotta hurt!" Boom-Boom laughed loudly, Chameleon narrowed her eyes and glared at her.
Just as Chameleon began to run at Boom-Boom, she stopped dead in her tracks as what looked like millions of the glowing fireballs were flying at her.
"Cameal!!!!" Todd cried out as she was hit head on by the wave of explosions.
"What the hell just happened?!" Lance said, trying to see through the thick cloud of smoke, "That was too fast, even for me to see!" Pietro said, coughing a bit.
Wanda stood silent, but searched with her eyes, Freddy and Todd were desperately trying to locate poor Cameal.
"Cameal, are you okay?!" Freddy called out, "Say something!!" Todd shouted, frantically hopping from Freddy's right shoulder to his left, trying to get a clear view.
Slowly the smoke cleared, everyone gasped as they saw Chameleon lying on the ground.
Her clothes were torn in a few places with burns and bruises spread out all over her body.
Boom-Boom let out a sinister laugh, "Hahaha! Now you know how it feels" she said as she slowly started walking towards the fallen lizard-girl.
"Get up!" Todd shouted down to her, but she made no movement, "Get up Chameleon!!" he shouted again.
Suddenly Chameleon let out a cough and opened her eyes with a groan.
As she attempted to get up, Boom-Boom ran up to her and gave her a hard kick to the stomach, causing her to roll back a few feet.
"No! Cameal!!" Todd cried out as he jumped off Freddy's shoulder to go and help her, but was caught by him.
"Let me go Fred! I have to help her!!" he yelled, squirming, "Are you nuts Todd?! It's too dangerous for you!" Freddy said, holding onto him tight.
"Now...to finish the job..." Boom-Boom said with an evil grin as she held out her hands, beginning to form enough of the little glowing balls to finish her off for good.
Breathing heavily, Cameal lied there, clutching her stomach from when she was kicked.
While Todd was struggling, he happened to stop and see Cameal looking up at him with a gentle smile, "Todd...." he happened to read her lips as a tear rolled down her cheek.
She then looked the other way, towards her executioner.
"No....I....I-I wont let it happen!" he said to himself as he once again tried to escape from Freddy's hold on him.
Suddenly to Freddy's surprise, Todd slipped from his grasp and stuck onto the wall below.
"See you in the afterlife Salamander" Boom-Boom said, just finishing the formation of the explosive glowing fireballs in her hands.
Cameal
Closed her eyes, waiting for the end to come when she heard Todd's voice call out to her from a distance.
"Todd...?" she whispered as she slowly reopened her eyes and saw him hopping towards her.
Just as Boom-Boom spread her hands apart and let the little explosives drop, Todd leaped forward, landing on top of her seconds before their impact.
Cameal's eyes widened as Todd used himself as a shield and she cried out "Todd!!!!".
When it was over, Cameal was holding him in her arms, crying and pleading for him to wake up.
"Toad!!" Freddy shouted as he jumped out from the opening and landed on his feet with a loud "THUD!" that caused the ground to shake.
"What a dumb little Toad" Boom-Boom chuckled, "His name is Todd, you Fucking Whore!" Cameal snapped as she lied Todd down on the ground before her, then stood up and turned to face her.
"Now its MY turn to make you pay." Cameal said wiping the blood away from the side of her mouth.
"With you and what army?" Boom-Boom laughed.
"Count me in Cameal" Freddy said as he walked up from behind her and picked Todd up.
"Freddy?" Cameal said as she blinked, "you have my strength!" he said putting a hand upon her shoulder.
"You got my Speed!" Pietro said as he appeared at her side.
"And my Raw Power!" Lance said, walking to her other side. (LOTR moment! D )
"Count me in too." Wanda said, standing at Freddy's side, looking at the unconscious Todd.
"I owe Toad a lot. I Think we all do." she said looking from him, then to Boom-Boom.
"yeah, and once you mess with one of us" Pietro began, "You mess with all of us!" Lance finished with a grin.
Boom-Boom trembled a bit, taking a step back.
"Shit!" she said to herself as she backed up a few more steps, then she attempted to make a run for it.
"Wanda." Cameal said looking to her with a sly grin, Wanda also grinned, nodding in response as she lifted her hand before her and consumed Boom-Boom in blue energy.
"What the-?!" Boom-Boom cried out as she struggled, and when she tried to use her powers, she was unable to do so.
As Wanda dragged her in, Cameal signaled Pietro to get some rope to tie her up with, and of course he came back a few seconds later with it.
Boom-Boom was now busy squirming, screaming and shouting curse words like a crazed drunk.
"Tsk Tsk, what a dirty mouth" Cameal said shaking her head.
"Lance, if you would do the honors" Cameal said smiling at him, "It'll be my pleasure" he said with a large grin as he made his way over to Boom-Boom with a big roll of duct tape.
As he finished taping her mouth shut, Lance reached into Boom-Boom's pocket and pulled out the keys to his Jeep.
"I'll be taking this!" he said flicking her off and walking towards his Jeep, leaving Boom-Boom to squirm and curse in muffles.
After, Freddy and the others threw her into the back of Lance's Jeep and drove off to The Xavier Institute.
At the moment.....
Scott and Gean were having a casual conversation, when all of a sudden a tied up, disabled Boom-Boom was thrown at their feet.
"Huh?! Tabitha??" Gean said in a confused tone.
"Special Delivery!" Shouted Lance as the Brotherhood Boys + Girls drove away laughing.
"Oh boy....." Scott said as he and Gean looked down at the gagged and tied up Tabitha Smith.
Back at the Brotherhood Hideout.....
After a long, tough day, the group decided to finally sit back and relax.
"Wow, I can't believe we ACTUALLY worked together as a team!" Freddy said as he sat at the end of the couch, making it tilt upward a bit.
"Yeah, we sure showed that bitch who's in charge around here!" Lance said, grinning.
"All thanks to Cameal and Todd!" Pietro said, looking to the pair who were all bandaged up.
They both blinked at Pietro's remark, then the two looked at each other and blushed a bit.
"yeah, I gotta give the wart-boy some credit" Pietro said, looking to Todd.
"That was really heroic of you Todd" Pietro said, putting a hand on Todd's shoulder.
"We're all proud of you Todd!" Lance said, giving him a nuggie.
"Aw...I-It was nothin' yo" he said, blushing again.
"So when are we gonna watch the movie?!" Wanda said, getting impatient.
"As soon as the popcorn is done!" Todd said, but just then the microwave rung, the popcorn was done.
"I'll get it!" Cameal said jumping out of her seat, running into the kitchen.
"Hey! I'll get it!" Todd whined, hopping in after her.
But by the time he got there, she had already taken it out of the microwave.
"Can you get me a bowel Todd?" Cameal said as she looked to him.
"Uh, sure!" he said, hopping over to a cabinet, retrieving a big yellow bowel.
When he gave it to her, they both looked up at one another and locked eyes.
"Todd....." she said as he began to blush, "Y-Yes?" he stuttered, then looked down as he helped her pour the popcorn into the bowel.
"I.....wanted to thank you...for saving my life today..." she said, looking into his eyes.
"I-It was nothing" he said, blushing a darker color of red.
It meant a lot to me..." she said as she took a step closer to him.
"Cameal...I-" Todd started to say but was silenced by Cameal placing her index finger on his lips and said "Shh...." with a smile.
He blinked a bit as she slowly took it away and leaned over towards him, both embracing in a kiss.
They were soon to be interrupted by Lance and the others shouting from within the living room to bring the popcorn.
Cameal giggled a bit as she broke away, grabbed the popcorn and started heading towards the living room.
She realized Todd wasn't behind her and turned to see he was still standing there, still speechless and in shock.
"come on cutie, we got a movie to watch!" she said with a cute smile.
He then snapped out of it and said "C-Coming!" and he hopped back into the living room with her.
And they all sat down in front of the TV to watch the movie : Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
*~The End~*
Crouching Toad, Hidden Chameleon: Part 2 - Cameal's First Day
Cameal squinted in her sleep as a large beam of sunlight came in through the window, onto her face.
She turned her head away from the bright light and let out a big yawn, revealing her dark green forked tongue and slightly long canines.
She rubbed her right eye as she sat up in the hammock she slept in.
She pushed back the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles blanket that covered her so that she could lean over and check what time it was on the little alarm clock that stood on the dresser across from her.
" 9:45 already...?" She said sleepily as she stretched her arms out above her head.
She looked around the room she was in and got confused for a moment, but then remembered that she was in Todd's room.
She peered over at his bed and realized he wasn't there.
Todd's room had clothes scattered all over the floor, with a dresser or two that was overstuffed with unfolded clothes and a small closet.
When Cameal tried to climb out of the hammock, she ended up falling out, landing on her back with a loud "Thud!".
"Ow...." She said as she slowly sat up, suddenly Lance's voice was heard shouting from the hallway "What the hell was that!?", and soon enough everyone came running to Todd's room to see what happened.
"Aw geez! Cameal, are you ok??" Todd said as he and Pietro helped her up.
Cameal rubbed her back a little then looked to Todd "Yeah, Im fine, the hammock is just a bit wobbly but..." she said turning to Pietro, "Thank you.." she finished saying with a smile.
"No prob!" Pietro said proudly, Cameal dusted off her blue penguin tank top and matching pants Pj's and followed the gang to the kitchen for breakfast.
While entering the kitchen, she happened to see Mystique eating a granola bar, just about to leave the kitchen.
"Um, Hi Mystique!" She said as Mystique walked by, but she acted as if Cameal wasn't even there.
Cameal then remembered how Mystique objected to her staying there when Todd first brought her home.
She remembered how Todd defended her during the whole argument, but she finally let Cameal stay when she showed Mystique her powers.
Cameal let out a sigh, then she saw Wanda sitting on the kitchen counter eating a bowl of cereal and smiled, thinking that she finally found another girl she can talk to and relate.
"Good morning Wanda!" She said cheerfully, "Hi." Wanda replied after swallowing the cereal in her mouth.
"Um...what's up?" Cameal said leaning back against the counter, swaying her long, curled lizard tail back and forth behind her.
"Nothing." Wanda said taking another bite of cereal, "Same here...." Cameal said looking down a bit.
Wanda then slid herself off the counter top and started to walk away, heading towards the living room, and Cameal sighed once again.
Suddenly, out of nowhere Todd jumped in front of Wanda, causing her to stop.
"Hey Babycakes! How ya doin'?" he said, trying to be smooth.
"Leave Me Alone Toad!!!" She shouted as she extended her arm and consumed him in blue energy, shooting him across the room, causing him to smash into a wall in the kitchen.
Cameal blinked in confusion, running over to Todd, who was currently stuck in a hole that was shaped like an outline of his body in the wall.
"Are you ok Todd?!" Cameal said as she tried to pull him out of the wall, "Yeah, Im alright.." he said looking at her upside down.
Suddenly he was pulled out of the hole, but remained upside down in the air.
She blinked and turned to see Freddy holding Todd upside down by his leg.
"Don't worry Cameal, Wanda's always like that" he said as he set Todd down, "She's so violent.." she said looking up at him.
"Yeah, she mostly gets like that whenever Toad starts hitting on her" Freddy said laughing, "Hey, shut up yo!" Todd said frowning, giving Fred a nudge.
Cameal felt her heart ache, suddenly feeling weak and she stumbled a bit.
Freddy caught her in time before she could fall, "Cameal! are you alright??" Todd said as he helped with holding her up.
"Y-yeah...Im ok.." She said as she looked to him.
"Are you gonna be ok?" Freddy said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
Cameal looked up at him, smiled and said "Of course, I think I just need some food in my stomach" she laughed a bit.
Fred pulled out a chair for her, and just as Cameal sat down, Lance came in with Pietro.
Cameal looked up and smiled "Hey Lance, hi Pietro!", "Hi Cameal.." Lance said tiredly, "Hi Cameal!" Pietro said as he sat next to Lance.
"Hey Blob, can you get us some cereal here?!" Pietro whined, Freddy glared at him and said "Why don't you get it yourself?! I hate being your servant!".
"I'll get it!" Todd said as he jumped up onto the countertop, Pietro snickered and turned to Freddy "See, Toad is a fast learner" he teased.
"Why you...!" Freddy said, about to grab him when Todd cried "Aw man!.." and everyone turned and said "What?".
"There's only enough cereal left for one person..." Todd said with a frown, "Shit..." Pietro said as he let out a groan.
"Don't we have anything else Toad?!" Lance said, obviously getting a bit cranky.
"Um, lemme check" he said nervously, sifting through the cabinets.
"Uh...." Todd said just as she was getting to the very last cabinet, "Well??" Lance said, getting annoyed.
"Oh wait! I Found something!" Todd shouted, his upper-half still in the cabinet, "Lemme see Toad!" Pietro said in anticipation.
Todd hopped down from the counter holding a bunch of large and small boxes of different flavored Poptarts, "We got Poptarts!" he said with a big toothy grin.
"Good enough" said Lance, grabbing a box of strawberry flavored Poptarts as Todd dumped them on the table.
Cameal looked through the flavors, but she couldn't find any that she liked.
She looked over to Todd and said "Hey Todd? Can I have the cereal do u have left? I don't really like Poptarts..".
He blinked a bit and turned to her, "Uh, sure! You can have the rest if you want Cameal!" he said as he went back over to the cabinet and retrieved the cereal.
He handed it to her and said "Here, it's my favorite, but you can have the rest!" , Cameal slightly blushed and took it from him then looked down at the box to see what kind it was.
It was one of those Disney cereals, this one had Pumbaa and Timone on the cover, the cereal's name- "Chocolate Mud & Bugs".
It was just the thing she liked, cocoa puff-like cereal with bug-shaped Marshmallows!
Cameal gave Todd a warm smile, "That's so sweet of you Todd...Thank you!" she said as she gave him a hug.
"Oooooo!" the other 3 chimed as they watched Todd blush light red.
"Toad's got a Girlfriend!" Freddy chanted, "A look guys, he's blushing!" Pietro teased, "Don't they look sooo cute together?" Lance said making kissy noises.
"Aw c-come on guys knock it off, yo!" Todd said as Cameal released him from the hug.
She stood up next to Todd and grinned "Aw, are you guys Jealous that Todd's getting all the affection?", that made them shut up.
"I-Im not Jealous!" Lance said, crossing his arms.
"W-Why would I be Jealous?" said Freddy, looking in the opposite direction.
"Me? Jealous of him?? I could get a date anytime I want!" Pietro laughed.
Todd covered his mouth, laughing a bit, "Hey shut up wart boy!" Lance growled, getting annoyed.
"Ooh, do I sense some hostility?" Cameal said playfully as she went around the table, stopping behind Lance's chair.
Lance blinked a few times, "Awww, does Lance want a huuug?" Cameal said in a cute voice.
"Uh, I....." Lance said bashfully, "Go on Lance, you know you wanna!" Pietro said, laughing.
"Yeah, go on Lance" Freddy said, grinning.
Finally, he gave in, "Oh...Ok!" Lance said, pouting a bit.
Cameal laughed a bit and gave him a big hug, making him blush a bit from embarrassment.
"Do the rest of you guys want hugs too?" she said as she released him and turned to the rest of them with a smile on her face.
"Uhhh....." the boy's said in sync, "Aw come on! Group Hug!" Cameal said, pulling the four boys into the hug.
Lance and Pietro tried escaping, but Cameal and Freddy wouldn't let them.
Cameal looked at them and said "I feel so loved, you guys are the best (and only) friends I've ever had!...".
The Brotherhood Boys blinked and looked at one another, then smiled.
"Wow, thanks Cameal, I've never been anyone's best friend, well, except for Todd's" he said putting a hand on the back of his head.
Cameal smiled and said "Your welcome! Now how about we get back to breakfast?", they all nodded to each other and separated, taking their seats at the table once again and chowing down.
Later in the afternoon.....
It was that time of the Month, when Todd has to take a shower.....
Cameal came out of Todd's room dressed in an olive green tanktop, baggy black parachute pants that went a bit past her knees, and black sneakers.
She walked down the hall, minding her own business, when she heard the shower running in the bathroom and stopped dead in her tracks.
She looked to the door and walked up to it, curious of who was in there.
She quickly looked around, checking to see if anyone was around.
When it was confirmed that she was ok, Cameal slowly pressed her ear up against the door and listened.
Todd could be heard singing the well-known Brak song: "I Love You Baby!", in the shower, and when Cameal realized that it was him, her faced turned red as she let out a gasp, quickly jumping back from the door.
"OK Cameal! your going to walk away now! slowly...." she said to herself as she turned toward, trying to act casual as she began to walk away.
As she turned the corner to go down the stairs, seconds later, the bathroom door quietly creaked open and closed by itself.
Todd heard something and quickly poked his head out the shower curtains, looking around to see if anyone was there.
When he was done looking, he went back to showering.
Cameal let out a small sigh of relief, slightly blushing as she stood there in front of the door, Invisible.
As Cameal climbed up onto the wall, about to get a glimpse of him, the bathroom door's keyhole suddenly started to glow and smoke.
Cameal caught it out of the corner of her eye and blinked in confusion, but before she knew it, the door was blown off its hinges and fell flat on the floor.
She coughed a bit from the smoke that filled the room, but tried to keep it low enough for no one to hear.
Another set of coughs came from the doorway, "whoo! Guess I over did it a bit this time!" a voice said as a figure entered the bathroom.
It was none other than Tabitha Smith a.k.a: Boom-Boom, breaking an entry on the Brotherhood and once AGAIN invading Todd's personal time.
"I still never get any Privacy!" Todd shouted as he poked his head out the shower once again, really annoyed.
"Oh get over it Toad" Tabitha said rolling her eyes as she picked up a bottle of mouthwash and took a swig of it.
Cameal (still invisible)glared at Tabitha, badly wanting to teach her a thing or two about manners (though she should be the last one to think that, since she's spying on Todd and all).
Cameal looked over at Todd as he said "Don't you ever get tired of this, yo?" he whined.
After Tabitha was done using the mouthwash, she spit it out into the sink and turned to him.
Todd blinked as she gave him a evil grin, "Come to think of it, No" Tabitha said, forming a little glowing ball then tossing it up towards the shower.
Cameal gasped, knowing that if it exploded in the shower, Todd would get badly hurt, and the thought of it happening made her sad and pissed off.
"Grrr!" she growled as she un-camouflaged herself and jumped at the little fireball.
This caught both Todd and Tabitha by surprise as Cameal missed the catch, but instead un-curled her lizard tail and bat it back at Tabitha.
"EEK!" Tabitha shrieked as her own attack was deflected and blew up in her face.
"Hey Cameal, you ok??" Todd said as he searched around, trying to find her through all the smoke even though he still had to remain there in the shower.
"Im fine" she said, sitting up next to the shower.
When the smoke finally cleared, Cameal and Todd looked up to see Tabitha standing there, trembling and burnt.
Her hair, face and clothes were charred black, some parts of her shirt were either burned off or were falling off.
After a few moments of silence, Tabitha let out a scream, covering the exposed sections of her shirt with her arms and ran out of the bathroom, crying.
"And Stay Out!" Cameal said, laughing a bit, Todd laughing as well.
As Tabitha ran down the stairs, wailing loudly- Pietro, Lance, Fred, and Wanda poked their head's out from the kitchen + living room into the hall, wondering what all the racket was.
Suddenly, a crazed Tabitha zoomed by, grabbing Lance's car keys and ran out the door, driving away with his Jeep.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, chuckled a bit, shrugged and went back to what they were doing, except for Lance.
Lance still remained there in the hall silent for a moment, then suddenly he began throwing a temper tantrum.
"She Took The Fucking Car Again!! God Dammit!! This Is Fucking Injustice!!!" Lance shouted, pissed off about his car being taken once more.
As for Todd and Cameal, they were still laughing and joking about Tabitha(Todd currently has a towel wrapped around him now).
"Wow! That really BLEW her away!" Todd cracked, "Bet she thought that was a real BLAST!" Cameal said, laughing hysterically.
Todd smiled at her and said "thanks for saving my butt Cameal", she blushed a bit and said "No problem...".
Then Todd thought for a moment, "But I can't help but wonder...Why were you in here?" he said, looking to her.
Cameal's cheeks turned dark red as she began to sweat, "U-Um, W-Well...I-I..." she stuttered as Todd continued to give her a suspicious look.
"I.. Gotta go! Bye!" she said as she rushed out the door, tripping over a few things as she ran down the hallway.
Todd just stood there in the middle of the bathroom with a confused expression on his face.
About an hour and a half later.....
Cameal was hanging out in her hammock, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about her former home, as well as her parents.
She remembered how she would always lie on her bed, dreaming of the day she would escape from that hellhole and find the guy of her dreams to run off with and live happily ever after.
She blushed as Todd entered her thoughts, and she smiled.
She didn't expect a Toad to be her Knight in shining armor who would rescue her from peril, like she'd usually dream about in her sleep, but even Toads can turn out to be hansom Princes.
He may not of looked like it, but Todd had a good heart....and she loved him for who he was both inside and out.
In the middle of her daydreaming, Todd happened to walk into the room.
"Oh hey Cameal!" Todd said as he came in and saw her in the hammock.
She quickly sat up "T-Todd! W-What are you doing here??" she said, blushing a bit.
"Well, besides it being my room, I came to see how you were doin', yo!" he said, smiling at her.
She blinked, feeling a little stupid, "O-Of course...." she said, her cheeks starting to turn a darker shade of red.
Suddenly the window in Todd's room was blown open.
The explosion sent Todd flying back into his dresser drawers, while Cameal was thrown from her hammock and onto the floor.
"Ow....What the Hell?!?" Cameal said as she sat up and looked at the huge hole where the window used to be.
Suddenly a voice called to her from outside "Come on down and face me you little salamander! Im gonna make you pay for what you did to me!!" : It was Boom-Boom.
"Cameal?" Todd said weakly as she turned towards the door where Pietro, Freddy, Lance and Wanda stood silently.
"Pietro." Cameal said in a serious tone with an expression very similar to the one SSJ Gohan had when fighting Cell in the Cell Saga (and THAT'S someone you DON'T wanna mess with!).
Pietro responded quickly with a "Y-Yes?" and quickly went to her side.
"Suit me up." she said, slightly narrowing her eyes, Pietro nodded and within an instant he left the room and came back with her battle uniform in hand.
Cameal then straightened herself out straight as she spread her arms out straight to the side.
Pietro nodded in response and started running around her, creating a small whirlwind/tornado around her as he replaced her normal clothes with her battle uniform.
Within a few moments, the whirlwind ceased as everyone stared at her.
Cameal stood there dressed in a green, scale-patterned tank topish shirt that was held together at the shoulders and sides by black straps.
Her hands were covered by black leather gloves with the fingers cut out.
Her pants and boots were similar to Toads, only the pants had a hole in the back for her tail to go through and the boots covering her shins were covered by a long row of sharp spikes.
"Cameal?" Todd repeated, blinking, overwhelmed by her new appearance.
Cameal turned to him, "It's Chameleon now." she said turning her back to him as she began heading towards the gaping hole, in which her opponent was on the other side of.
"Cameal, wait!!" Todd shouted as he tried to get up, but unfortunately he was still a bit injured from the impact of the last explosion.
"Where'd she get threads like that?" Lance said as he watched her leave to go out to battle, "I made them for her, pretty Ingenious huh?" Pietro said, beaming with pride.
As Chameleon leaped out the hole, everyone gathered around the opening to watch the fight, Freddy letting Todd sit on his shoulder so that he had a better view.
Chameleon gracefully landed in a crouched position about 2 ft. away from her opponent, Boom-Boom, who was also dressed in her plain old boring yellow and navy blue uniform.
"It's about damn time, sure took your sweet time" Boom-Boom said as she crossed her arms and grinned.
"Oh quit your bitching, Im sure you have better things to do in your freaken spare time then waste mine, like how about getting a new hairstyle for one thing?" Chameleon said with a fanged grin.
Boom-Boom growled, "Your payin' for what you did to me!!!" she shouted, forming a fist with her hand.
"Oh please, you got a lot of nerve thinking you can just waltz in here whenever you please and do whatever the fuck you want?! I don't think so little miss slut-slut, your in Chameleons territory now." Chameleon said as she placed her hands on her hips.
Boom-Boom stood there shaking in rage, "Why....You!!!" she shouted as she made a dash towards Chameleon.
Boom-Boom then threw a punch at her face, but Chameleon managed to duck and avoid it.
And just as Boom-Boom's punch missed her head, the lizard-girl was about to uncurl her long tail, wrap it around Boom-Boom's wrist and slam her onto the ground.
Chameleon chuckled a bit as she watched Boom-Boom get up and attempt at it a 2nd time.
But this time: Chameleon delivered a sharp punch to her gut, which caused Boom-Boom to drop to one knee, clutching her stomach.
From the 2nd floor, the other's can be heard cheering for Cameal, surprisingly, even Wanda was cheering.
But this time, Boom-Boom got a hold on herself and calmed down, knowing that she'd do better when focused.
As Chameleon was distracted by her fans, Boom-Boom managed to rise to her feet, and her hand began glowing.
While Todd was cheering for her, he turned and saw Boom-Boom about to throw one of her little exploding fireballs at her.
"Behind you!!!" he shouted as Boom-Boom hurled it at her, Chameleon quickly turned to see the glowing ball flying at her.
Luckily she flipped backwards, just as the thing exploded.
"Heh, trying to hit me when Im not looking, eh? How cheap" Chameleon laughed a bit, "Come and get it" Boom-Boom said with a sly grin, forming more glowing balls in her hand.
Chameleon kneeled down and took off running on all fours towards Boom-Boom.
Boom-Boom then threw them at her, Chameleon barely dodged them as they flew at her, exploding seconds after.
Just when Chameleon was about to jump at her, Boom-Boom pulled out 3 more and flung them at her.
Luckily Chameleon was about to deflect them back at her with her tail.
But Boom-Boom was able to dodge it this time "Damn that tail! There's gotta be a way to get rid of it!" she thought to herself, but a moment later she came up with an idea.
Boom-Boom suddenly started to repeat what she did just a moment ago, which came as a surprise to Chameleon.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Chameleon thought to herself as she once again dodged the explosions.
But this time when Chameleon went to deflect the fireball with her tail, it exploded on impact with her tail.
Chameleon cried out in pain as the upper-half of her tail was blown off.
The others watched in horror as Cameal's tail landed not too far behind her, squirming like a worm on the ground, then stopping a minute later, blood pouring from her tail stem.
"Ooo, that's gotta hurt!" Boom-Boom laughed loudly, Chameleon narrowed her eyes and glared at her.
Just as Chameleon began to run at Boom-Boom, she stopped dead in her tracks as what looked like millions of the glowing fireballs were flying at her.
"Cameal!!!!" Todd cried out as she was hit head on by the wave of explosions.
"What the hell just happened?!" Lance said, trying to see through the thick cloud of smoke, "That was too fast, even for me to see!" Pietro said, coughing a bit.
Wanda stood silent, but searched with her eyes, Freddy and Todd were desperately trying to locate poor Cameal.
"Cameal, are you okay?!" Freddy called out, "Say something!!" Todd shouted, frantically hopping from Freddy's right shoulder to his left, trying to get a clear view.
Slowly the smoke cleared, everyone gasped as they saw Chameleon lying on the ground.
Her clothes were torn in a few places with burns and bruises spread out all over her body.
Boom-Boom let out a sinister laugh, "Hahaha! Now you know how it feels" she said as she slowly started walking towards the fallen lizard-girl.
"Get up!" Todd shouted down to her, but she made no movement, "Get up Chameleon!!" he shouted again.
Suddenly Chameleon let out a cough and opened her eyes with a groan.
As she attempted to get up, Boom-Boom ran up to her and gave her a hard kick to the stomach, causing her to roll back a few feet.
"No! Cameal!!" Todd cried out as he jumped off Freddy's shoulder to go and help her, but was caught by him.
"Let me go Fred! I have to help her!!" he yelled, squirming, "Are you nuts Todd?! It's too dangerous for you!" Freddy said, holding onto him tight.
"Now...to finish the job..." Boom-Boom said with an evil grin as she held out her hands, beginning to form enough of the little glowing balls to finish her off for good.
Breathing heavily, Cameal lied there, clutching her stomach from when she was kicked.
While Todd was struggling, he happened to stop and see Cameal looking up at him with a gentle smile, "Todd...." he happened to read her lips as a tear rolled down her cheek.
She then looked the other way, towards her executioner.
"No....I....I-I wont let it happen!" he said to himself as he once again tried to escape from Freddy's hold on him.
Suddenly to Freddy's surprise, Todd slipped from his grasp and stuck onto the wall below.
"See you in the afterlife Salamander" Boom-Boom said, just finishing the formation of the explosive glowing fireballs in her hands.
Cameal
Closed her eyes, waiting for the end to come when she heard Todd's voice call out to her from a distance.
"Todd...?" she whispered as she slowly reopened her eyes and saw him hopping towards her.
Just as Boom-Boom spread her hands apart and let the little explosives drop, Todd leaped forward, landing on top of her seconds before their impact.
Cameal's eyes widened as Todd used himself as a shield and she cried out "Todd!!!!".
When it was over, Cameal was holding him in her arms, crying and pleading for him to wake up.
"Toad!!" Freddy shouted as he jumped out from the opening and landed on his feet with a loud "THUD!" that caused the ground to shake.
"What a dumb little Toad" Boom-Boom chuckled, "His name is Todd, you Fucking Whore!" Cameal snapped as she lied Todd down on the ground before her, then stood up and turned to face her.
"Now its MY turn to make you pay." Cameal said wiping the blood away from the side of her mouth.
"With you and what army?" Boom-Boom laughed.
"Count me in Cameal" Freddy said as he walked up from behind her and picked Todd up.
"Freddy?" Cameal said as she blinked, "you have my strength!" he said putting a hand upon her shoulder.
"You got my Speed!" Pietro said as he appeared at her side.
"And my Raw Power!" Lance said, walking to her other side. (LOTR moment! D )
"Count me in too." Wanda said, standing at Freddy's side, looking at the unconscious Todd.
"I owe Toad a lot. I Think we all do." she said looking from him, then to Boom-Boom.
"yeah, and once you mess with one of us" Pietro began, "You mess with all of us!" Lance finished with a grin.
Boom-Boom trembled a bit, taking a step back.
"Shit!" she said to herself as she backed up a few more steps, then she attempted to make a run for it.
"Wanda." Cameal said looking to her with a sly grin, Wanda also grinned, nodding in response as she lifted her hand before her and consumed Boom-Boom in blue energy.
"What the-?!" Boom-Boom cried out as she struggled, and when she tried to use her powers, she was unable to do so.
As Wanda dragged her in, Cameal signaled Pietro to get some rope to tie her up with, and of course he came back a few seconds later with it.
Boom-Boom was now busy squirming, screaming and shouting curse words like a crazed drunk.
"Tsk Tsk, what a dirty mouth" Cameal said shaking her head.
"Lance, if you would do the honors" Cameal said smiling at him, "It'll be my pleasure" he said with a large grin as he made his way over to Boom-Boom with a big roll of duct tape.
As he finished taping her mouth shut, Lance reached into Boom-Boom's pocket and pulled out the keys to his Jeep.
"I'll be taking this!" he said flicking her off and walking towards his Jeep, leaving Boom-Boom to squirm and curse in muffles.
After, Freddy and the others threw her into the back of Lance's Jeep and drove off to The Xavier Institute.
At the moment.....
Scott and Gean were having a casual conversation, when all of a sudden a tied up, disabled Boom-Boom was thrown at their feet.
"Huh?! Tabitha??" Gean said in a confused tone.
"Special Delivery!" Shouted Lance as the Brotherhood Boys + Girls drove away laughing.
"Oh boy....." Scott said as he and Gean looked down at the gagged and tied up Tabitha Smith.
Back at the Brotherhood Hideout.....
After a long, tough day, the group decided to finally sit back and relax.
"Wow, I can't believe we ACTUALLY worked together as a team!" Freddy said as he sat at the end of the couch, making it tilt upward a bit.
"Yeah, we sure showed that bitch who's in charge around here!" Lance said, grinning.
"All thanks to Cameal and Todd!" Pietro said, looking to the pair who were all bandaged up.
They both blinked at Pietro's remark, then the two looked at each other and blushed a bit.
"yeah, I gotta give the wart-boy some credit" Pietro said, looking to Todd.
"That was really heroic of you Todd" Pietro said, putting a hand on Todd's shoulder.
"We're all proud of you Todd!" Lance said, giving him a nuggie.
"Aw...I-It was nothin' yo" he said, blushing again.
"So when are we gonna watch the movie?!" Wanda said, getting impatient.
"As soon as the popcorn is done!" Todd said, but just then the microwave rung, the popcorn was done.
"I'll get it!" Cameal said jumping out of her seat, running into the kitchen.
"Hey! I'll get it!" Todd whined, hopping in after her.
But by the time he got there, she had already taken it out of the microwave.
"Can you get me a bowel Todd?" Cameal said as she looked to him.
"Uh, sure!" he said, hopping over to a cabinet, retrieving a big yellow bowel.
When he gave it to her, they both looked up at one another and locked eyes.
"Todd....." she said as he began to blush, "Y-Yes?" he stuttered, then looked down as he helped her pour the popcorn into the bowel.
"I.....wanted to thank you...for saving my life today..." she said, looking into his eyes.
"I-It was nothing" he said, blushing a darker color of red.
It meant a lot to me..." she said as she took a step closer to him.
"Cameal...I-" Todd started to say but was silenced by Cameal placing her index finger on his lips and said "Shh...." with a smile.
He blinked a bit as she slowly took it away and leaned over towards him, both embracing in a kiss.
They were soon to be interrupted by Lance and the others shouting from within the living room to bring the popcorn.
Cameal giggled a bit as she broke away, grabbed the popcorn and started heading towards the living room.
She realized Todd wasn't behind her and turned to see he was still standing there, still speechless and in shock.
"come on cutie, we got a movie to watch!" she said with a cute smile.
He then snapped out of it and said "C-Coming!" and he hopped back into the living room with her.
And they all sat down in front of the TV to watch the movie : Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
*~The End~*
