Thanks to:
Raphaella – One of these days I'm going to write something which doesn't involve tormenting Scott – he seems to suffer in everything I write! And things are gonna get worse for him before they get better. If they get better ;)
Lyranfan – Writing jealous Forge was great, he's a pretty neglected character. I actually quite like writing Scogue, so that might just turn up at the end.
Archmagus – Glad you liked! And with tons of characters for Scott to end up with, the good times are here for a while yet.
Evil-Bunny-Leader – Hey, that name's good too! There will be a Kitty chapter coming up and I'm thinking about a Tabby chapter too, but I haven't thought of any good ideas for her yet.
Rogue14 – I'm behind the idea of camp Forge, I didn't plan it at all, it just kinda happened. Jott ending? It might happen!
Furygrrl – I was actually drunk off my arse when I put up 'Unpredictable' last night and had to read it myself to find out what happened coz I couldn't remember! The joys of Xmas eh? I love Fred, he's so under-appreciated (although I can't actually imagine using him as a lead character). The first chapter of 'And I Feel Fine' is mostly written and I did some actual research for a change! And it would be great to get an update for your Jeance fic (or my own personal fave, 'The Genesis Strain').
LadyEvils – I always like Fred to get the girl, he's woefully underused in most fics. And this chapter's for you!
Tara – I must admit, I didn't give much thought to what was happening in Scott's own world while he's in another one. I think his consciousness is put into the body of his alternate so he still looks like the Scott of their dimension. Maybe their mind gets put into our Scott, but since he's at Forge's place none of the X-Men would notice. And because he doesn't seem to spend more than a couple of hours in an alternate world he might even be back in Bayville before New Years. Hope that clears things up for you (although I'm more confused than ever now!)
Heartsyhawk – Always pleased to disturb, ha ha! Is this soonish enough?
TheDreamerLady – I'm trying to update this one nightly, but don't always manage to. The last line was a favourite of mine too! I might use the 'trapped in an alternate dimension forever' idea depending on how the votes between Jott and not-Jott go although I hadn't actually thought of it before – thanks for the idea!

Scott opened his eyes fearfully. He didn't know if the enraged Forge had set the gun to girlfriend. For all he knew, it might have been set to boyfriend again. He didn't think he could cope with another date with Pietro.
When he saw whom he was snuggled up with, he broke out into a huge smile. Jean lay beside him, fast asleep and totally naked.
"Thank God," he muttered, wrapping an arm around her. She woke up and turned over, giving him a sleepy smile.
"You're happy this morning."
He kissed her, burying his hands in her long red hair. She responded enthusiastically, running her hands down his chest. That was when he broke away, frowning. Something didn't feel right…
"GAAAH!" He looked down at his body in horror. "I've got breasts!"
Jean blinked in confusion. "Yes, they're very nice."
"But…but…" He whipped the covers away and checked himself out. "I'm a girl!"
"Are you feeling all right?"
"Fine. Just fine. Uh…didn't I used to have a penis?"
"No dear, that was a strap-on."
Scott got up and looked at himself in the mirror, noting his long dark hair and the traces of make-up still clinging to his face. The only thing the same was the ever-present ruby quartz shades.
"This is not good."
"I keep telling you to take of your make-up off before you go to bed. Did you get another zit?"
"I've gotta get dressed." Scott threw open the wardrobe and rifled through the contents. "Micro-mini, boob tube, hot pants, corset – do I always dress like a slut?"
"You know you do. Where are you going?"
"Uh, to the shop." Scott finally settled on a denim mini and white vest. "Does this make my butt look big?"
"No. Which shop?"
"One that sells clothes?"
Jean eyed him suspiciously. "Where did you get the money? I thought the Professor stopped your allowance after that business with Logan and the eggnog."
"I, uh, had some saved up." Scott could see that Jean didn't believe him. "Anyway, gotta go!" He let himself out of the room and took off down the corridor as fast as he could in stilettos.
Kitty emerged from her room and stopped to watch him. "Have you like, gone into labour or something?"
"Bite me."
"Already have done."
Scott limped past her in a huff and managed to get down the stairs without breaking his ankle. As soon as he got out of the mansion, he took of the shoes and walked over to Forge's house.
As he was about to knock on the door, he paused. The last time he saw Forge it hadn't gone well. Maybe he should have a plan before he went inside. But as he procrastinated Forge opened the door, obviously just about to go out.
"Oh hi," said Forge cheerfully. "What brings you here?"
"I'm a girl!"
"You said that last time and I told you, I'm not interested in you that way."
"No, you don't understand! I'm from an alternate universe and I'm supposed to be a guy but you did something wrong with the gun!"
"Oh." Forge stood aside to let Scott inside. "So let me get this straight. You're a guy trapped in a girls body for the day and you're over here rather than spending quality time in front of a mirror playing with your boobs?"
Scott thought about that for a moment. "Can I use your bathroom?"
"I've got a date in twenty minutes. I can shoot you know or you can go back to the mansion, play with yourself and get shot later."
"I guess I ought to get shot now." Scott looked gloomy. Why hadn't he thought of all the things he could do as a woman before he came over? "What kind of a woman am I?"
Forge mulled it over for a moment. "One word. Slut."
"And what's my name?"
"Gertrude."
"Great." Scott glared at the wall as Forge left the room to get the gun. When the boy came back, he decided to ask the ultimate question.
"So, if I'm a slut why did I wake up next to Jean this morning?"
"You finally got her?" Forge smirked. "Wow, you've been lusting after her forever. Even I noticed that. I never thought she'd go for you though, what with that rash you got that time."
"What rash? Wait, I don't want to know." Scott contemplated his ill luck gloomily. "So who's your date with?"
"Rogue."
"That's it, this world is just too bizarre. It's the most disturbing one yet. Just shoot me."
"OK." Forge blasted Scott and he vanished in a flash of blue light.
