Chapter Five

The brotherhood woke up at 8:00, but they didn't get out of the tent. They were sick. Fred went over to check on them.

"You coming out?" Fred asked as he unziped the tent and saw them.'' You guys look sick.''

"I feel sick,'' Steve moaned covering his mouth.

Steve jumped out of the tent. The others jumped out of the tent after him. Fred watched as they ran into the forest. He sat down in his chair. They came back about five minutes later and sat down.

"What did you cook?" Todd asked.

"The things in the tent,'' Fred said,'' There were alot of things, but you should know that I'm not a cook.''

"Great,'' Pietro said,'' I'm sick and my hair is pink. Can this get any worse?"

Just then it started to rain.

"You had to say that,'' Lance yelled as they went back into the tent.

"Sorry,'' Pietro snaped,'' I didn't think that it would get worse.''

"It definitely can't get any worse then this,'' Todd said and they looked at him.

Just then they heard thunder and something hit the ground close to their tent.

"Don't say anything,'' Lance said,'' I wonder how the x-men are doing.''

"They have a camper,'' Steve said,'' I feel like...''

Steve covered his mouth. A minute later he removed his hand and sighed.

"This is so stupid,'' Pietro said,'' We should of just tried to get the money for Mystique. It would of been alot better.''

"We should go ask the x-men for help,'' Steve said.

"That is the worst thing that could happen,'' Lance muttered.

Just then the tent caught on fire. They quickly jumped out of it. Fred was stil sitting in his chair. He didn't seem to notice that the tent had caught fire; in fact, he didn't seem to notice the storm. Lance went over to him. He was sleeping. Lance went back to the others.

"So much for things not getting worse,'' Steve said.

"I'm dizzy,'' Pietro said,'' I need to lay down.''

"So do we,'' Lance said,'' Lets just get to the x-men first. Fred can stay here.''

They walked over to the camp, which took awhile. Steve knocked on the camper door and Kurt answered it. He looked them up and down.

"Vhat do you vant?" Kurt asked.

"It's raining and our tentjust caught onfire,'' Steve said,'' And we are sick, so can we come in and stay with you, until the storm clears?"

"Let me think,'' Kurt said.

"Let them in, elf,'' Logan snarled.

Kurt moved and they came in. They sat down on the floor.

"Dizzy,'' Todd moaned,'' I need to lay down.''

"Poor thing,'' Kathy said in a sweet voice.

Kathy helped Todd up and gave him a bed to lay on. Kurt was watching Todd very carefully, just in case this was a trick.Kitty gave Lance a bed too. The other two sat on the floor looking at eveyone.

"Do we get a bed?" Pietro asked.

"Why?" Logan asked.

"We are sick too,'' Steve said.

Kathy rolled her eyes, helped Steve up and gave him a bed. Jean gave Pietro a bed too.

"Now,'' Logan said,'' About this storm.''

"Ya,'' Lance said,'' It's really bad.''

The x-men looked outside. It was a sunny day. Jean went out of the camper and looked at the brotherhood camp. Fred was sleeping in his chair and the tents looked just like they did yesterday. Jean went back into the camper and shook her head. The x-men started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Todd asked,'' This storm might rip this camper apart.''

"What storm?" Kitty asked.

"The storm out...'' Lance trailed off. Lance stared out the window at the clear sunny day.

"It must be the sickness,'' Scott laughed.

"It's not funny,'' Steve said,'' Is my hair stil red?"

"Yes,'' Kathy said,'' And it looks nice.''

"Really?" Steve asked.

"No,'' Kathy said.

"Fine,'' Steve said,'' Be that way.''

"What?" Kathy asked,'' What did I say?"

"You know what you said,'' Steve snaped,'' You think my hair is weird. I remember when you dyed your hair dark blue and put pink stripes in it. It looked so funny.''

"No it didn't,'' Kathy muttered.

The others were laughing. Kurt went over to Kathys side.

"You never told me that,'' Kurt said,'' That is kind of funny.''

"No it's not,'' Kitty said,'' I would of liked to see it. I bet it looked cool.''

"She had her hair like that for about a week,'' Steve said,'' Before she byed it back to black.''

"You dyed your hair hot pink once,'' Kathy snaped.

Everyone laughed harder. Steve looked at the other brotherhood members, who were laughing just as hard as the x-men.

"You are not on my side?" Steve asked,'' I thought the brotherhood were supposed to stick together.''

Steve got out of bed and went out the door. Kathy folded her arms and looked at the ceiling.

"Five, four, three, two, one,'' Kathy sighed.

Just then the door opened at Steve came back in. He laied back down on the bed, holding his head.

"You okay?" Kathy asked.

"Dizzy,'' Steve muttered.

"You guys should stay in bed the rest of the day,'' Logan said,'' We don't need you running around with your sickness. It could get worse. How did you get sick?"

"Freds cooking,'' Lance moaned.

"I see,'' Kitty said,'' And you guys call my food bad.''

"It is bad,'' Jean said, looking over at Kitty, who looked hurt.'' I mean, not as bad as Freds.''

"Just let the brotherhood get their rest,'' Logan said.

The brotherhood went to sleep in about ten minutes. The x-men sat around in silence for about five more minutes.

"We'll need to burn those blankets,'' Scott muttered.

The others nodded and started cooking some lunch.
