Chapter Six
The brotherhood were waking up, feeling better. They looked around and jumped to their feet.
"Avake?" Kurt asked,'' Good. Jean is making dinner outside. If you are hungry then I sugest you get out there right now.''
They boys left the camper. They looked over at their camp, where Fred was stil sleeping in his chair. They sat on the ground. The x-men were looking at them.
"Have a nice rest?" Logan asked.
"No,'' Pietro said,'' I have pink hair, I feel a little dizzy, and I wake up to find that I'm sleeping in you camper. Things couldn't get an-''
"Don't say that,'' Lance yelled.
"I hope you like it,'' Jean said handing them some food.'' It should help you feel better. Don't worry, Kitty didn't help at all.''
"HEY,'' Kitty shouted,'' MY COOKING AIN'T THAT BAD.''
"It's better then Freds,'' Scott said.
"I have to agree with Scott,'' Steve said,'' Kitty cooks better then Fred. Never in my life have I been sick. I have a healing factor.''
"It must of been really bad then,'' Kathy said.
"I remember when you asked Emily if you could cook dinner for us,'' Steve said,'' Man, we were sick for a week.''
"It was an accident,'' Kathy snaped,'' I didn't know what half the stuff in the kitchen, so I just guessed. Don't blame me, blame Emily.''
"Okay,'' Scott said,'' You were sleep all of yesturday and half of today. It's about four.Today we are planing to go for a hike. We only have two days before we leave.''
"We are staying longer then you,'' Lance quickly said.
"Okay,'' Kitty said,'' Time to go for the hike. I got water, candy bars, and a few compasses.''
"Good,'' Scott said and everyone stood up.'' Are you going with us or are you going back to your camp?"
"Well,'' Lance said,'' I'm sure we could go with you. Nothing to do at our camp.''
They walked into the forest. Kathy and Kurt were staying at camp. They walked for about ten minutes.
"How far are we going?" Todd asked.
"We are going to the top,'' Logan said.
"That's about what two miles,'' Kitty said.
"I can't walk that far,'' Todd whined,'' I'll just go back to camp.''
Todd turned around and accidentely steped in a trap. He found himslf hanging upside down.' Not again,' Todd thought.
"A little help,'' Todd yelled.
The others turned around and burst out laughing. Logan used his claws and cut the rope, but didn't bother to catch Todd, who fell to the ground. It took him awhile to get up.
"That hurt,'' Todd muttered.
"Go back to camp, tadpole,'' Logan said and they began to walk again.
Todd hoped back down the trail, being careful where he steped.' I'm not tadpole,' Todd thought.
They walked for about an hour in silence.
"Are we there yet?" Pietro asked.
"No,'' Logan said.
"Are we there yet?" Pietro asked again.
"No,'' Logan repeated.
"Are we there yet?"
"No.''
Five minutes later
"Are we-''
"NO,NO,NO,'' Logan shouted,'' WE WON'T BE THERE FOR AWHILE, SO JUST SHUT UP.''
Pietro fell silent.
"Are-'' Steve started.
"I just told Pietro,'' Logan snarled,'' We are not there. All of you just shut up.''
No one said a word, until they were to the top.
"Now we are here,'' Logan said,'' Now let go back down.''
"We just got here,'' Jean said,'' We need a rest.''
"You are leaving Kathy and Kurt in camp alone,'' Logan said.
"Todd is there too,'' Steve said, then slaped himself.'' She would tie him by his tongue to a tree.''
"We should get back,'' Scott said.
They ran back down the hill. It took them about a hour and a half to get back to camp. Todd was tied to a tree by his tongue. Pietro ziped around and untied him.' I touched his tongue,' Pietro thought,' I need a bath.'
"Thanks,'' Todd said,'' That was begining to hurt.''
"Where are Kathy and Kurt?" Logan asked coming out of the trailer.
"They went to the river,'' Todd said,'' I wanted to go with them, but Kathy didn't like the idea. Neither did Kurt, so Kathy tied me to a tree.''
"Ouch,'' Lance said,'' I'm happy my tongue ain't that long.''
"They said they would be back later,'' Todd said,'' A few bugs bit my tongue and now it hurts.''
"You eat bugs every day,'' Steve said,'' You should be used to it.''
"It's getting dark again,'' Scott said,'' Go back to your camp and don't come over here any more.''
The brotherhood went back to their camp. Lance woke up Fred.
"What?" Fred asked,'' You feeling better?"
"Ya,'' Pietro said,'' Do you know that it has been almost two days?"
"Really?" Fred asked,'' I thought it was only five minutes. Do you want some dinner?"
"No,'' They shouted jumping into their tent.
Fred looked at the tent, shruged and began to cook. The other boys went to sleep.
