Whoa! I'm actually updating!!! Well, I have a perfectly acceptable excuse… I am lazy.
Okay, that and I'm very busy and my crazy mother keeps grounding me off my own computer. _
Terribly sorry about the lack in updating. Hope this makes up for it.
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE (READ IT OR YOU MIGHT DIE!): Just thought that, to avoid confusion, I will tell you what this dream is. It is going to be about miscellaneous horror movies. There will be more than one, many in fact. See if you can guess the movies! It'll be fun like a game!
I had gone through many possibilities for Scott. In fact, originally I had planned on using the movie Citizen Kane. It would have been a fantastic movie to parody, with Xavier being Kane, of course, and Scott being the reporter dude. Then I thought that many, if not all, of you haven't seen the movie. I mean… it IS just a classic movie and all by the great Orson Wells… there's no special effects or even any color in the movie. There's no reason for anybody to watch it anymore. _ I'm sorry. Sorry so many of you haven't seen that movie.
_______________________________________________
The professor was so shocked at the results of the last dream that he decided to skip all introduction to the next one and just began watching Scott's dream with no further notice.
As the dream began, Scott was sitting in a chair reading a book. The book was about nothing in particular. It had a poorly constructed plotlines, very few points of creativity, and actually had no real thought process put into it. It was titled Dream On.
Jean, Rogue, Kitty, Kurt, and Evan were also in the same room. They were all squished onto one couch somehow and they were very bored. The only sound in the room was the ticking of the clock and the occasional sigh of boredom.
Finally, Kitty phased out of the big couch-pile and groaned loudly, "It's, like, so totally boring here! We should do something!"
"Like what?" Jean asked skeptically. Usually when Kitty wanted to do something, it was along the lines of playing truth or dare, going to the mall, or making fun of the fat kids at the park.
"Umm…" Kitty said thoughtfully. She just wasn't in the mood for truth or dare, and going to the mall was out of the question until she spent an hour in the bathroom making herself pretty for the local shopkeepers, and the parents of the fat kids she enjoyed making fun of had threatened her numerous times.
Suddenly Evan jumped up upon coming up with a brilliant idea, "We should go camping!"
Jean, Kitty, and Kurt all flourished at the thought. A camping trip was a great idea. In fact, it was more than a great idea. It was the greatest idea ever. It was even greater than Xavier's idea to help people. Helping people was boring. Camping was fun. That's how they decided to go camping. Rogue, on the other hand, didn't think it was such a great idea. Then again, she didn't think helping people was a great idea, either, so she decided to go along anyway.
Scott hadn't heard a word of their conversation. He was still busy reading his book. He didn't look up, even when all attention was shifted to him. He didn't notice when Jean put her face three inches from his face and said, "Wanna come camping with us? …Scott?" He didn't notice when she waved her hand in front of his face or tapped his shoulder. Finally she shoved him and yelled his name loudly. He noticed but he chose to ignore her anyway. He was very much into his book. Jean scowled at him. If there's one thing she couldn't stand, it was being ignored. That and the fact she was a cheerleader. But people had certain expectations of her, and those expectations included being a cheerleader.
Out of frustration, she grabbed his book and threw it in the fireplace. Scott stared after it for a moment, then turned back to look at Jean, "You want something, Jean?"
Jean resisted the urge to do something very un-Jean-like, and instead slapped a smile on her face, as she always did when she wanted to stab somebody, and said sweetly, "Yes, Scott, we were just wondering if you would go camping with us."
He cast a glance to the ashes of his book, "Well… I guess I've got nothing better to do…"
With that they all hurried to pack their things. They gathered all the essentials and brought them down to pack into the X-van. Scott brought down one bag, Rogue brought two, Evan brought three, Kitty and Jean both brought ten, and Kurt didn't bring anything because he wasn't familiar with the term 'camping' and thought it involved some sort of carnival.
The drive was very uneventful. It was so uneventful it doesn't even deserve mention at all.
"Wasn't that an exciting drive?" Kitty asked as she exited the van, upon reaching their destination.
"It sure was!" Jean exclaimed as she began unloading their baggage, "Who would have expected all those very, very interesting things to happen while we were driving?"
"I certainly never would have!" Scott exclaimed as he thought about what an adventure their drive had been.
Evan looked around with contempt at the wilderness. He very much disliked anything that involved going camping. Why he had suggested going camping was beyond himself. "So, where are we going to sleep?"
"There's some cabins nearby," Jean pointed off in some random direction, which actually lead to a Motel 6 (that's bad), "Kurt, where's the map?"
"The map?" Kurt stared at her with confusion, "What map?
She rolled her eyes, "The one that I handed you when I said, 'here's the map, don't lose it.' That map."
"Oh," Kurt said thoughtfully, "I lost it."
Jean scowled at him, "You WHAT!? I told you NOT to lose it! What is this? 'Do the opposite of what Jean says' day or something?"
Kurt kicked at the ground with his foot, "Well, I know where it is, actually…"
"If you know where it is, then you didn't lose it," Jean said impatiently, "Now, where is it?"
"Um," Kurt glanced off down the highway, "About five miles back, where I threw it out the window."
Jean didn't say anything. She stared at him for a moment with what looked like thoughtfulness. She didn't move, or even blink. Everybody else waited for her to become angry with Kurt but that never happened. Finally she took in a deep breath of air and picked up her bag, "Okay, everybody, we've got a lot of ground to cover so we'd better head on out."
Kurt looked over at Scott, who only shrugged.
***
About an hour later they hadn't reached the cabins, or the Motel 6 (which was a good thing). Everyone began to suspect that there weren't any cabins after all. They also began to suspect that Jean had lured them out into the woods to use them in her devious plots. Just because it seemed like something she would never ever do, it somehow was very likely in their minds.
Jean studied her compass, pretending that she actually understood how to use it, and spoke to the group in a cheerful voice, "Okay, guys, I think the cabins are right down this path here, so if we just-"
"Would you just stop it with your LIES?!" Kurt suddenly shouted.
Jean stared at him, startled, "What? But I-"
"Who elected you boss of this hike?" Evan demanded.
She didn't even have a chance to defend herself before Kitty jumped in, "I know what she's trying to do! She's, like, trying to make us train to become better mutants! That's what this whole trip's about, isn't it?" She grabbed the front of Jean's shirt, "ISN'T IT?!"
Evan and Kurt both gasped at the mention of training. They took off running in separate directions, Kitty soon following. The rest of the group stared after them in confusion.
Jean turned and looked at Scott and Rogue, "Well, I'm glad SOME of us are able to keep our common sense!" Scott nodded in agreement. Rogue looked nervous for a moment, then ran off in the vague direction of the others. Jean sighed, "At least you're still here, Scott."
"Of course I am," he smiled proudly, "What kind of man would I be if I were to leave you alone in these woods?" What kind of man, indeed, he thought as he grinned inwardly, knowing that the cabin was not far away and he and Jean were alone. Nothing could possibly go wrong now.
Meanwhile, the others were gathered not too far away, behind a cluster of trees. All four were giggling madly. The plan was going perfectly.
Evan prepared the camera, "Now all we have to do is film some stupid documentary about the Bayville Witch and show it to Jean!"
"She'll, like, be totally freaked out!" Kitty laughed. They four were only getting back at Jean for cracking down on them lately.
[flashback to the previous danger room session]
Kitty screamed as a robot came after her with a knife in one hand, and a lazar gun in the other. She was so busy trying to avoid it, that she couldn't go help Kurt, who was teleporting as fast as he could away from the bullets. Nearby, Rogue was trying to escape the pit in which the walls were closing in on her. It only makes sense that nobody noticed that Evan was unconscious and being beaten by two robots with crowbars.
"Come on, guys!" Jean shouted, "What happened to all those other training sessions we've had? Stop losing!" She sighed in exasperation when she heard them calling for help, "No, you don't need help. What you need is a good cheer." With that she waved her pom-poms around and kicked her legs in the air, "Go! Go! You can do it! If you can't do it, you're pathetic! Whoo!"
[end flashback]
"She'll think twice about giving US more training sessions!" Evan exclaimed, "I mean, we don't even NEED training! She should be working on the new recruits."
"We lost most of them in the last danger room session," Rogue said, shaking her head sadly.
They reminisced some more, about why they had decided to do this to Jean, then decided to start with the documentary. Rogue had volunteered to be the 'host' of the documentary.
The video camera was started and the first image seen on the tape was Rogue, looking very serious. That is, as serious as she can possibly look. "The Bayville Witch… Hoax, or real life scary evil thing that will eat you in your sleep? Well, we're here to discuss that. With us here today, is Evan, who knows everything there is to know about the Bayville Witch. Evan?"
"Thank you, Rogue," Evan pushed her aside and took a dramatic pose in front of the camera, "I have seen the Bayville Witch. It's a hideous beast. The ugliest thing ever. It's whole body is covered in fur. That's right -- fur! Blue fur, at that. And it's got a tail, much resembling the devil's, only much worse. Not only that but it's got pointy ears and sharp teeth and yellow eyes!" Evan paused and looked at something off the camera, "Oh, no offense Kurt."
"It's okay," Kurt's choked, hurt voice was heard off the camera shot.

Er… hope that's okay for now. I assure you that the next chapter will be more action-packed. I'm just trying to get this out to everybody ASAP. I WOULD have got it out sooner, but I lost about half of it when my computer crashed again. [grumble grumble]
So now I'm just angry. Next chapter shouldn't take as long as this one did. I promise.
Okay, that and I'm very busy and my crazy mother keeps grounding me off my own computer. _
