"Well, okay... I guess that does kinda sound like fun... Yeah, we'll do it." Roberto answered.
"Excellent." Prof. X answered, pressing his fingers together. ((A/N: I just reminded myself of Mr. Burns. Wouldn't that be scary?))

Jean awoke with a start. Professor Xavier had forgotten to put up mental shields in her new room and she could "hear" everyone's dreams. She sighed. It was pretty obvious she wasn't going to get any sleep tonight.
The redhead got up and went to the living room of her suite and pulled out a book. She began to read. In about 23 pages, she started to hear a noise. Jean put the book on the table. It had come from Alley's room. She listened. There it was again!
She went to the little girl's room and opened the door a crack.
Alley was in her bed, tossing and whimpering.
Jean opened the door the rest of the way and went in. She sat down on the edge of Alley's bed.
"Alley? Wake up..." She shook the girl lightly.
The child's green eyes flickered open. "Jean?" She sat up and started to cry.
Jean put her arms around the little girl. "Shhh... It was just a nightmare... It wasn't real..."
"The bad people killed my dad. Then they got you and Scott... and they were coming for me, again... One of them had me... Jean, don't let them get me..." Alley cried harder.
Jean rocked her back and forth, holding the girl to her. "Ssshhh.... it's alright now. Everything's gonna be okay. Me and Scott are taking care of you now. We won't let anything happen to you. Don't worry...." Jean cooed. Eventually, Alley's sobs grew quiet as she fell back into dreamland. Jean sighed, hugging the little girl again.
She tucked her in and went and got her book. She went back into Alley's room and sat in the chair by her bed. She stayed there the rest of the night, watching over the little brunette.

Ororo/Logan
-
"No!" Anna cried. "I want both!" She sat down on the floor and started bawling.
"Kid, calm down and listen to reason, will you?" Logan begged. "Neither of us is goin' anywhere tonight. Just sleep in 'Ro's room and you'll see me again in the morning!"
"No! I want both!"
"Anna, Logan and I can't sleep in the same room. We're- well- it's just- It's against the rules." Ororo tried to put it into terms the little girl could understand.
Anna only cried harder. "You're grown-ups! You make rules! You no leave me, please!!!"
Logan and Ororo looked at each other, panic written across both of their faces. They didn't know what to do. Finally, Ororo made a command decision.
"Alright! We'll all sleep in Logan's room!" Ororo said, picking up the girl. Immediately, Anna stopped crying. Ororo gave Logan a sort of exhausted half-smile. He smirked and shook his head.
"Come on, then." He called, heading to his room.
Logan laid down on the right side, Anna in the middle, and Ororo on the left.
"G'night, Momma. G'night, Daddy."
"Good night, kid."
"Good night, Anna."
Within a few moments, Anna was fast asleep and all there was, was the sound of their breathing. After about ten minutes of silence, Logan spoke.
"'Ro?"
"Yes, Logan?"
"This is crazy."
"I know."
"I wonder what Chuck has in store for us through-out this little 'project'..."
"I fear to wonder even."
Logan chuckled. "Goodnight, Darlin'."
"Goodnight, Logan."

Bobby, Jubilee, and Michael unrolled their sleeping bags.
"Everyone set?" Jubilee asked. The boys nodded from either side of her. She got up and turned off the lights. She stumbled through the dark room and back into her bag.
"Goodnight," Michael said, curling into his sleeping bag.
"Goodnight."
"Sleep tight."
Once he was sure the child was asleep, Bobby spoke again.
"Jubes, are you asleep?"
"I was..." she replied, grumpily.
"But you're not now?" He asked.
"Obviously..."
"Okay, good." He answered. "What am I going to do?"
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"About Michael, I mean." Bobby stated. "He won't have anything to do with me."
"Just give him time." She yawned. "Once he realizes what a good person you are, he'll come around."
"You think so?"
"I know so." She replied. "Now shut up and get some sleep."
"Okay. Goodnight, Jubilee."
"Goodnight, Bobby."

Wanda woke up to the sound of Anya crying. She sighed and got up and walked to Toad's room.
"Todd..." She whispered. No response. "Todd, get up..." No response. "Todd! The baby's crying!"
"No more cheese, Lorianna. It makes the goats gag." Toad muttered in his sleep.
"Great..." she mumbled, going to the little girl's room. She turned on the light and walked over to the child. She picked up Anya. "Um... Hey there. What's wrong, little one? Why are you crying?"
"Tummy..." Anya pouted.
"You're hungry?" The auburn-haired girl nodded. "Okay. I fix that."
Wanda carried the toddler into hall and down the stairs. She went into the kitchen. "Alright, now what do little kids eat...?"
She opened the fridge, still holding Anya. "Do you like bananas?" Anya smiled and nodded. "Good."
She pulled out a banana and peeled it, handing it to the child. She walked back upstairs to her suite. She sat down on the couch with Anya on her lap. "Bed time when you're done." The toddler finished eating and started crying again.
"What? What is it now?" Wanda asked, sound slightly panicked.
"No sleepy!" In contrary to her statement, Anya rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"I think you are." Wanda smiled.
"No." Anya whined. She yawned again.
Wanda stared to hum and rock back and forth. Soon enough, she had the girl back to sleep. Wanda carried Anya back to her room and put her in bed.
"That wasn't that hard." She turned off her light and went back to her own room.

Kelly, Bo, Kurt, and Kitty were all asleep on the couch. They had fallen asleep watching Peter Pan and hadn't woken up. The tape had long since ended and the lights were off. The four looked very happy. Kurt was all sprawled out, Kitty was laying on him, Kelly on her, and Bo on her. It was adorable. Unfortunately, no one was around to see how cute it was.

Zach yawned. "I'm going to bed. Good night, Mom. Good night, Dad."
"You don't want to play any more?" Tabby asked, sad.
Pietro laughed, looking up from the newspaper he was reading. "Tabby!-It's- like-1AM!-He's-a-kid!-He-needs-to-sleep!"
"Oh, alright." Tabitha sighed. "Good night, Zach. Sleep tight."
"Don't-let-the-bed-bugs-bite." Pietro added.
"I won't." Zach went into his room and shut the door.
"You're-going-to-wear-that-kid-flat-down." Pietro stated, still reading.
"He's a kid! He's supposed to have a lot of energy!" Tabby argued.
"Yes,-Boom-Boom,-but-no-one-quite-has-as-much-as-you." Pietro said.
Tabby laughed.
"I'm-gonna-turn-in,-too." Pietro said, putting down his paper.
"But then who will entertain me?" Boom-Boom pouted.
"I'm-sure-you'll-figure-something-out." He walked into his room.
"Pie-Pie!" She whined.
"Go-to-bed,-Tabitha!" He laughed, shutting his door.

Rogue/Remy
-
"Good night, kids." Remy said, tucking them in.
"Sleep tight." Rogue added.
"Good night." The children responded.
Rogue and Remy walked out of the kids' room.
"Crazy day, non?"
Rogue growled.
"Come on, cher. Whacha mad at ol' Gambit for?"
"You don't take anything seriously and you always leave everyone else with the hard jobs!" She yelled. "You can't just play with the kids and let me clean up after them! How is that fair?"
"No need to yell, cher. All you had ta do was tell Gambit. Remy didn't know you felt dat way." The Cajun explained.
"Really?" Rogue asked.
"Of course." Remy replied. "Now, what do you say Gambit goes to get some rocky-road from the fridge and brings it back up here for us?" Rogue smiled and he left.

Warren and Betsy tucked Kimberly into bed.
"Goodnight, Mum, goodnight, Daddy." The blonde child called.
"G'night, Love." Betsy responded.
"Goodnight." Warren answered. The two left the room, turning off the light.
"That is the best behaved kid I have ever met." Elisabeth stated.
"I know what you mean." Warren replied. "Hey, what do you think of going to see a play on Friday?" he asked. "I bet we could get on of the others to watch her."
"I don't know. Do you think we should?" Betsy said, sounding very reluctant.
"I think it'll be fine!" Warren made a sad puppy dog face and put his forehead against hers. "Please, Bets..."
She laughed. "All right."

"Aaaahhhhhh!!!!" Rahne and Jamie both ran into Kyle's room after hearing him scream.
"What's wrong?!" Rahne asked, catching her breath and turning on the light.
Kyle was under his blanket, shaking.
"Don't let the dragon get me!"
Rahne and Jamie looked at each other, worried. They both moved to sit on opposite sides of his bed.
Rahne put her hand on his forehead, moving his bangs from his eyes. "Pup, that was just a film. It's not real."
"It was all make-believe." Jamie added, nodding.
Kyle sat up and clung onto Rahne.
"I don't want to go back to sleep." He muttered. "The dragon will eat me."
Rahne sighed and got up, carrying the child. Jamie followed.
"Okay, so not one of our best ideas..." Jamie stated.

Amara and Ray had spent the past four hours trying to capture their young ward, but to no avail. The boy was too fast and too sneaky. Finally, Amara had fallen asleep on the couch and Ray on the floor.
Jordan crept out from another room. He smirked and went into Amara's room.
He came back out with his arms full of make-up. He put it all down on the floor and went into Ray's room. He came back with car grease and shaving cream.
First, he took the rouge and put it all over both of their faces. Then, he drew pictures on them with lipstick and eye shadow. Next, he put shaving cream in their hair. For the final touch, he put grease on each of their fingers.
Laughing maniacally, the little boy went to get ready for bed.
