Scott sat on the couch in the living room with Jean next to him. Things had been pretty hectic around the mansion lately. First he and Jean had become a couple (you wouldn't believe how over protective Logan could be at times), then Rogue finds out Mystique is her mom and ends up in the hospital, then Kitty had gotten her drivers permit (Lord knows why), then Evan had left, then Gambit, Wanda, Pietro, and Toad (probably following Wanda) had converted and were now part of the X-men, THEN they had gotten a two new people named Warren Worthington III and Betsy Braddock. Yes, it had been a hectic week indeed.
Currently, everyone in the entire mansion, adults and new recruits included, was gathered in the living room. The professor had something to tell them and he was taking his sweet time. Probably was afraid of how they would react or something.
He cleared his throat. "Students. I realize it's summer vacation and all, but I have an assignment for you. It will be an excellent learning experience and a chance to get to know each other better." A chorus of groans was the only response, so far. "For this assignment, I will be putting you in pairs. The matches will be as following. Jean and Scott, Kurt and Kitty, Rogue and Remy, Wanda and Todd, Bobby and Jubilee, Ray and Amara, Elisabeth and Warren, Rahne and Jamie, Pietro and Tabby, Logan and Ororo. No switching."
"Chuck, you expect 'Ro and I to participate in this?" Logan raised his eyebrow.
"Yes, Logan, I do."
"Excuse me, Professor, but what is the assignment?" Jean asked.
"I was just getting to that. You all will have to pretend to be married, all the way to the point of raising a child. The children will be picked up tomorrow from an orphanage downtown. I came up with this idea after receiving a phone call from them saying that they had 10 mutant children and were having trouble meeting their individual needs. After the projects are finished, the kids will remain here at the mansion."
"How long vill these projects last?" Kurt asked.
"The rest of the summer."
"Three months stuck with Gumbo! Sheesh!" Rogue complained.
"Don't complain! Gambit is a hundred times better than Ray." Amara said, offhandishly.
"Hey!" Ray yelled. "At least you're not stuck with a self-absorbed snob who thinks they rule the universe!"
"Yes, I am." Amara countered.
"Enough. Students, those are the groups. Please deal with them, they will not be changed." Professor Xavier said, wheeling out of the room.
