Readerr Grrrl: Thank you for the ice cream, and you are correct, there are a few of us that are writing stories on this account. And though I agree that Jean should've died, Half-n-Half wouldn't allow it. As for Jean and Freddy being engaged, you must remember Jean hit her head a while back and has been running around like a crazy woman.
GothicThunder: Sorry it took so long for the final chapter. Thanks for the reviews.
Sandra: I didn't mean to offend you if I did. By the way, what exactly does "slappin snaggs on the Barbie" mean?
For all those that wished Jean would die, I'm sorry that she didn't, now on with the fic!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scott rubber the bridge of his nose, a habit he had picked up from Professor Xavier, while he thought about the current situation. Jean had obviously gone crazy, somehow become engaged with Freddy (who was even more confused by this then Scott), and then she had been kidnapped by not only Pietro, but one of his own teammates, Bobby. To make things even more confusing, they had come across the unconscious bodies of Rogue and Lance, and Kitty and Johnny had found them and they were now informing them how Jean thought the entire fair was full of cannibals.
"She thinks what?" Todd asked as he cocked his head sideways, looking almost like a dog that was questioning what its owner was doing.
"She thinks that Mr. Logan, like, sent us all here because, like, the fair is full of, like, cannibals, and he wants, like, Xavier's inheritance and Ororo for, like, himself," Kitty explained. Todd and Scott looked at each with very confused expressions on their faces. If neither one of them had been around the young girl long enough, they wouldn't have been able to decipher a word she just said.
"Ew," they said in unison. Everyone else around them nodded in agreement, before turning their attention back to their current situation.
"So it looks like Pietro and Bobby took Jean towards the rollercoaster," Freddy said as he pointed off towards the roller coaster. They all turned to look at him, each person curious as to how he knew the location of the two boys.
"How do ya know that mate?" Johnny asked. Freddy pointed towards the roller coaster again.
"Cause its snowing over there," he told them, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"That can't be good. Let's go see what they're up to," Scott said as he headed towards the not so distant roller coaster.
-------------------------------------------
Pietro smirked as he watched the snow fall around him. He had figured that Bobby wouldn't be one for pulling pranks on his own teammates, but he had been far from right. In fact, he had found out that was one of Bobby's favorite pastimes at the Institute. Pietro was brought back to reality by the random babblings of Jean, which had begun to become a bit more coherent.
"Are you going to eat me?" Jean asked as she looked up at him. Pietro blinked in confusion, then looked over at Bobby. Bobby just shrugged his shoulders and went back to icing up the entrance to the roller coaster.
"What should we do with her?" Bobby asked as he added the last bit of ice to the entryway. Pietro smirked again.
"I-figured-we'd-ice-her-to-the-tracks-of-the-of-the-coaster-then-start-the-car-up-and-make-it-look-like-we're-going-to-let-it-run-her-over," Pietro said quickly. Bobby grinned when he heard Pietro's plan.
"I like it, let's do it," Bobby said as he headed towards the tracks.
-------------------------------------------
They all looked up in disbelief. From what they could tell, Jean was iced to the tracks, and Bobby was sitting next to her, attempting to hold a conversation with her.
"Bobby, like, what in the world do you think you're, like, doing?" Kitty shouted up to him. Bobby looked down at them like it was the first time he'd seen them standing there. He waved.
"Hey guys, what's up?" he asked, before turning to look over his shoulder. "Alright Pietro, they're all here, go ahead."
They all looked up in confusion as Bobby made an ice-slide and slid away. Then they heard it. The clicking of the car as it began to move up the tracks. Kitty, Kurt, and Scott (not that you can tell with him!) all look horrified as they saw the car round the first corner. Freddy, Lance, Todd, and Rogue watched with a bored fascination, and Johnny sat there grinning like a madman as he watched the car go around the bend.
"That's easy mates! I'll just melt the ice away and blue-boy here can go up there and get her," Johnny said enthusiastically, reaching into his pocket for his lighter. His face fell slightly when he realized that he didn't have his lighter at the moment.
"I forgot she tossed me lighter," Johnny said with a sullen face. Scott was about to offer that he could just blast the ice away when Lance spoke up.
"Why not just have Kurt teleport Kitty up there, and then she can phase Jean out of the ice?"
Everyone looked at Lance in amazement. He looked back at them all.
"Was I the only one here to think of that? And why are you all staring at me like that?" he questioned them.
"You said something that was somewhat intelligent, that's why we're all staring at you," Scott replied. Lance was about to haul off and hit him when Kitty put her hand on his arm.
"Its, like, a great idea Lance, I'm glad, you, like, thought of it. Come on Kurt, let's, like go," Kitty said as she grabbed hold of Kurt's arm. Kurt shrugged and teleported up next to Jean. Kitty smiled at Jean before phasing herself through the ice and grabbing her. She pulled Jean out of the ice and grabbed onto Kurt.
"We're, like, all set Kurt, we can, like, go back to the ground now," Kitty told him. Kurt grabbed Kitty and 'ported her down first, then he returned for Jean. As he reappeared on the ground with Jean, Pietro appeared at the top of the tracks where Jean had been only a moment before.
"Awww, slowpoke, you ruined all of our fun," Pietro complained. He looked like he was about to say more when he stopped and his eyes went wide. Everyone turned around to see a very angry looking Magneto and Professor Xavier. Wanda was standing next to her dad, holding something shiny in her hand. Johnny grinned when he saw the sun reflect off the metal of his lighter.
"I found this lying on the ground Johnny, you should be more careful of where you leave it," Wanda told him, handing the lighter back to him. If it was possible, Johnny's grin became even larger.
"Thanks Wanda," he said before turning his attention back to the two adults.
"Pietro, I'm disappointed in you. We sent you here to become friends with each other, and what do you do? You freeze Ms. Grey to the tracks of a roller coaster and start up the car. What you did was uncalled for, and you will be punished for it," Magneto admonished Pietro. Pietro's face fell and he looked over at the others.
"The same goes for you Robert. I think four extra training sessions a week with Logan for one month, and washing the blackbird once a week shall be punishment enough," Professor Xavier told Bobby. Bobby cringed at the use of his full name, and then he too turned to the others.
"We're sorry guys, we were just trying to have some fun and I guess we got a little carried away," Bobby apologized to the others. Pietro nodded his agreement and started off towards the vehicle. Bobby followed him.
"John will you please take of the excess ice?" Magneto asked Johnny, who of course got an even larger grin on his face. He flicked on his lighter and made the flame larger. He carefully worked the fire around tracks and the entrance over the roller coaster, making sure that all the ice and snow in the area was melted. He put his lighter away and turned back to everyone else.
"Let's go home," Scott said as he walked back towards the car. Everyone seemed to agree with him, and they all followed him to the X-Van. When they reached the parking lot, they all stopped and stared in shock at a sight none of them thought they'd ever see. Logan and Ororo were walking towards the fair entrance, and they were holding hands. Everyone blinked, before looking at each other.
"Ew," they all said in unison and then they all started laughing. They all piled into their separate cars and headed off towards their homes.
The End
HomeGrown: Sorry that took so long to update, but what I originally had written down on paper got blown into a firepit that, unfortunately for the paper, had a nice fire going in it at the time. So I had to rack my brain and figure out more stuff to write, and I've had to rebuild my computer a couple times, and then there was the whole college thing, and then finals, and now its my last week of break, and I'm finally getting this on here. So hurray for this. And I've actually got some ideas for another story or two, one might be a song fic, so you might have to suffer through that if you wanna read it. Anyways, thanks everyone for the reviews and for your patience, you are all wonderful people.
