Chapter 2: Jean's BIG mistake
Jean and Wanda had been one of the only ones who had not been arguing with Xavier and Magneto about having to go with each other. As they walked off towards the cheap carnival rides, Jean tried to start up a conversation.
"So, uh, how are you?"
"I'm good, how are you?" Wanda asked back. Jean smiled.
"I'm good too. Thanks for asking."
Jean was silent for a few minutes as they walked, thinking about how Wanda had changed and had finally accepted Magneto. She decided to comment on it.
"You know, I'm really glad that you're not mad at your father anymore," Jean said cheerily. Wanda gave her a blank look.
"Why would I be mad at my father?"
"……for putting you into that asylum." Jean replied, before realizing her mistake.
"HE DID WHAT?!" Wanda yelled at the top of her lungs. Jean cringed back and looked around her as things started to go insane. Metal poles that were holding stands up bent and twisted into odd shapes. Machines and games went on the fritz, chasing after people and running into each other. Stuffing flew out of the stuffed animals as Wanda's hex bolts hit them.
"Wanda! STOP!" Jean yelled as she dove for cover. Too anyone else but Jean this might be an amusing scene. A girl standing in the midst of chaos, people taking cover, machines taking on lives of their own, and the stuffing flying out of the stuffed animals. Jean knew she had to stop Wanda somehow, but she didn't know how. Looking around her she saw a large mallet. Hmm, maybe….just maybe. Jean grabbed the mallet and ran at Wanda, screaming a war cry as she did so. Wanda turned to look at the other girl and was surprised when the mallet hit her in the face. Jean was even more surprised when she realized that the mallet was one of those inflatable ones.
"Uh-oh," Jean said as she saw Wanda start laughing insanely. Jean turned to run away but a hex bolt hit her in the back and she went flying into the nearest tent. As the tent started to collapse, a bald man with a tattooed face came running out of the tent, yelling something about some guy being back.
Wanda was rather angry, as many could tell by now, and she needed to let that anger out. The memories had flooded back to her, and Wanda now wanted vengeance on her father once more. She started off towards the front of the fair when a monkey got into her path.
"Move monkey," she said to it. The monkey, who was actually not a monkey, but Mastermind, shook his head and stayed in front of her.
"I said move!" Wanda commanded him again. Once again he shook his head, but this time he raised his hands and wiggled his fingers at her. As Wanda watched in fascination, the monkey's eyes began to glow, and his wiggling fingers became very hypnotizing. After a few minutes of this, Wanda couldn't remember why she had been mad at her father. In fact, right now she wanted nothing more then to see him. So, grabbing a lollipop and sticking it in her mouth, she skipped off down the lane towards where she had left Magneto and Xavier.
*Back with Jean*
Jean rubbed her head and looked around her. The area was a complete mess and there were many angry looking people standing around her.
"What did you do to that poor girl?" one angry lady demanded. Jean started to get up and looked at all of them.
"I'm sorry; I didn't know that she had forgotten. I was trying……." Jean was cut off as a very large tomato smacked her in the face. She screamed as more and more food was thrown at her. She tried to run, but everywhere she turned there were people standing in her path.
"Lets get her!" one man cried.
"I say we eat her alive!" a deranged person yelled from somewhere in the back. Jean screamed when she heard the one suggestion and the chorus of voices that agreed with the voice. These people were going to eat her. As the crowd closed in on her, Jean realized why Logan had told Xavier they should go on this day. There in big, bold letters a sign that read "Cannibal Day at the Fair: Welcome all Cannibals!"
Jean's screams could be heard from a mile away as the crowd ate her.

HomeGrown: ProFool and I have figured out that Logan was the one that suggested to Chuck that they go on Cannibal Day, cause Logan wants Ororo and Chuck's inheritance. Only problem is he can't have either one of them while Chuck is around. And um as for why they didn't eat Wanda; well I got really bored and had said to ProFool when she asked about Jean, "she's been left with a crowd of angry mutant eating people." Therefore we came up with the idea that it is now Cannibal Day. Or at least for that one part in the story. I figured ya'll might want an explanation on that one.
