I can't believe I'm saying that I don't own any X-Men Evolution or GI Joe characters. I was originally gonna work on my next 100 chapter fic. But to tell the truth I don't feel like it right now. So I decided to do this. This takes place right after 'Double Identity'. You've heard of clip shows right? How about clips of stuff you've never seen before? So let's take a trip down memory lane…
Memories Are Made of This
Chapter 1: I Can't Believe I'm Doing a Clip Show
"Is it true? Rogue can really touch now?" Kurt asked. It was literally a day after the Acolytes attacked the Institute.
"Yes thanks to that suit Rogue's wearing, but only for a little while," Ororo told him. "She's talking to Remy right now."
"All right! I have to go see…" Kurt began.
"I think she's had enough trouble these past two days," Ororo grabbed Kurt by the collar before he could teleport away. "Now why don't you go help clean up with the other students?"
"Translation: She want's some alone time with the Cajun so screw this up and you'll be one dead elf," Logan walked in and steered Kurt to the living room where the other students were cleaning up. Both Misfits and X-Men were repairing and cleaning up.
"You're taking this well," Kurt blinked.
"Well for one thing Rogue has to wear the entire suit to be able to touch," Logan said in a speech that sounded rehearsed. "And I trust Rogue's judgement."
"Who are you and what have you done to Wolverine?" Kurt blinked. "That doesn't sound like you at all!"
"Storm threatened to fry him if he tried to interfere," Todd said.
"Oh that explains it," Kurt nodded.
"Just get to work," Logan grunted. "I gotta go…Slice something…" He walked away grumbling.
"Can you believe it?" Tabitha said. "Rogue can finally touch someone. Well for a little bit anyway."
"Yeah who would have thought that would ever happen?" Lance said as he brushed away some rubble. "And I mean we've all seen a lot of weird stuff."
"I tell you something," Fred put down a huge chunk of broken wall. "I never thought I'd see the day I'd be sad that this place would get trashed."
"That's only because you didn't trash it yourselves," Ray said.
"Well yeah," Fred said. "You gotta admit we Misfits have a certain sense of style."
"Well it's unique I have to admit," Forge said. "Like that Portable Ocean?"
"Oh and you're such an expert Mr. Dimensional Rift?" Todd said. "You know the one that let all those demons loose?"
"I thought they were dinosaurs?" Tabitha asked.
"No, they most definitely were demons," Ray said.
"No, they were dinosaurs you nitwit!" Roberto snapped.
"Don't call me stupid! They were demons!" Ray shouted.
"I didn't call you stupid, Stupid!" Roberto shouted. "They were dinosaurs!"
"Demons!" Ray shouted back.
"No they were dinosaurs!" Fred shouted. "Or were they demons? I forget."
"Oh god…" Scott winced. "This is even more painful than being captured by Legion."
"The point is that we've all been through a lot of stuff," Jean decided to say something before another argument broke out. "It's been what? About four years since the Institute was started and so much has changed."
Kitty shook her head. "It's so weird how in spite of everything we all got to be friends."
"Speak for yourself," Scott grumbled. "I don't think I'll ever get used to the Misfits!"
"The feeling is mutual Summers!" Lance snapped. "Why don't you just do some work for a change?"
"Look who's talking!" Scott snapped. "You've barely picked up that broom once in the past twenty minutes!"
"Well at least I picked something up other than that stick up your…" Lance began.
"You wanna take this outside?" Scott snapped.
"You bet!" Lance growled.
"Yeah go outside and make a mess," Rogue said.
"We have enough to clean up!" Althea said as the two boys left. Soon they felt a small earthquake and sounds of shouting and fighting.
"Then again, some things never change," Jean groaned.
"And they're off," Fred commented. "Again."
"What is with those two?" Betsy asked. "I've never seen two boys act like this. Well those that were out of their nappies anyway."
"I thought I could carry a grudge," Tim said.
"Oh this goes way back," Kurt waved. "Literally the second day after Kitty joined the Institute. Remember?"
"I don't think I'll ever forget that first day!" Kitty groaned.
"Neither will half the student body," Jean remarked.
"Why? What happened?" Betsy asked.
"Well it all started right after we recruited Kitty," Jean said. "This was before even Rogue and the others joined. It was only Scott, Kurt and I before and Kitty was our fourth student. Now we also met Lance in the same school but he didn't come with us. He ended up going with Mystique. Well we didn't know that then."
"Yeah, I thought I saw the last of him after he destroyed my old high school and nearly killed us," Kitty said. "Boy was I in for a shock…"
