Of Cotton Candy, Psychics, and Earthquakes
"Where ya goin'?" Rogue asked Lance as he wandered off towards the farm animals. She looked past him and spotted Kitty and Johnny.
"Oh no ya don't," she said as she grabbed hold of the back of his vest. "The Professor and Magneto want us to get to know each other, so that's what we're gonna do."
Lance pulled free of Rogue's grasp and turned to look at her. " Exactly. You can get to know Johnny while I get to know Kitty a little better," he said with an innocent looking grin. Rogue shook her head.
"No Lance, we have to get to know each other. Kitty is doin' it and havin' fun, so why can't you try?" she inquired as she started to lead him to the Tilt-a-Whirl. Lance sighed loudly and followed reluctantly.
"Fine, but only because Kitty would want me to," Lance replied as he followed Rogue.

They stood outside the Tilt-a-Whirl and watched it tilt and whirl in all different directions. "Let's get in line," Rogue said as she walked towards the small line that was outside of the ride. Suddenly the air got very cold and a high wind whipped up out of nowhere.
"Pietro!" Lance exclaimed as the silver-haired speedster ran by them.
"Bobby!" Rogue shouted at the other boy that was being dragged behind the speedster. The two boys stopped abruptly and looked at Rogue and Lance, grinning from ear to ear. Rogue raised an eyebrow and gave the boys a skeptical look before noticing the large thing of cotton candy that each one had.
"Who gave you two sugar?" Rogue asked them. Pietro grinned and pointed towards the Ferris Wheel. Lance looked at the cotton candy and then at Pietro.
"Do they have the blue kind?" he asked. Pietro nodded and took a bite out of his cotton candy. Rogue shook her head.
"Either-of-you-seen-Red?" Pietro asked them quickly. They both shook their heads and looked momentarily confused.
"That means she's still over there somewhere. Just be careful if you guys go over by the Ferris Wheel," Bobby warned them before Pietro grabbed hold of him and took off. Rogue raised an eyebrow and looked Lance.
"Wanna go investigate?" she asked. Lance shrugged. "If it means I get cotton candy, sure."

Rogue looked over the top of her newspaper at where Jean was standing. "Just a bit conspicuous, don't you think?" Lance commented as he ate his blue cotton candy.
"Shut up," Rogue commanded him as she continued to watch Jean.
"Make me," Lance retorted childishly. Rogue rolled her eyes and then grabbed Lance by the arm.
"Let's go get her," she said and started running towards Jean, still gripping Lance's arm. Lance resisted only a little because he was being distracted by the cotton candy in his hand. As they approached Jean, she turned and looked at them.
"Rogue! Lance! We have to get out of here! The place is crawling with cannibals and Logan sent us here so that we'd all get eaten so then he'd get Xavier's inheritance and then he could steal Ororo away from Xavier," she rambled on as she continued to look about wildly.
"Ewwww!" Lance and Rogue said in unison.
Lance looked over at Rogue. "She's finally snapped," he stated.
"Yet again, shut up," Rogue said.
"Make me!" Lance replied.
"Fine!" Rogue yelled, and in one swift movement, removed one of her gloves and smacked Lance in the face. Lance fell to the ground and Rogue grabbed her head.
"Gah! I did not want to know your sick fantasies about Kitty! Ew, gross! I am so telling Logan about this!" Rogue yelled in disgust. Jean looked at Rogue and then at Lance who was lying on the ground.
"You're one of them! Stay away!" she exclaimed before using her telepathy to knock Rogue out. As Rogue fell into unconsciousness, Lance's stolen powers activated and created a fissure that headed straight for the Ferris Wheel.
"Where ya goin'?" Rogue asked Lance as he wandered off towards the farm animals. She looked past him and spotted Kitty and Johnny.
