Chapter Seven

The boys got out of the tent. It was a beautiful, sunny day. They sat around the fire, which wasn't going. Fred had sent to sleep in the tent.

"I'm hungry,'' Todd whined,'' That food yesterday didn't fill me up.''

"I'll cook,'' Pietro said,'' I took a cooking class in school.''

Pietro ziped over to the tent.

"He took a cooking class?" Lance asked.

"I didn't know,'' Todd said,'' So why was he letting Fred cook?"

"I think he is lieing,'' Steve said,'' Remember the might be stil mad that Fred made camp faster then him.''

"Ya,'' Lance said,'' I'm stil wondering about that.''

Pietro came back and started cooking some bacon and eggs. The others watched him very carefully. When he was done he handed some to them. They stared at it for awhile, before taking a small bite.

"It's not that bad,'' Todd said, taking a bigger bite.

"Better then Freds,'' Steve said.

They ate in silence the rest of the time.

"So,'' Pietro said,'' What are we going to do?"

Lance got up and started walking around. Just then a water balloon fell on his head, but it wasn't filled with water. It was filled with green paint.

"EEEWWW,'' Lance shouted,'' NOW MY HAIR IS YELLOW AND GREEN. YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS.''

Just then more balloons hit him. Red, pink, purple and many more colors. When they stoped he was cover from head to to toe in paint. He sat back down in his chair. The others were trying not to laugh, but couldn't hold it in.

"Bad luck,'' Pietro laughed.

Just then more balloons hit them all. They screamed and tried to get away, but it didn't work. When it stoped they were covered too.

"Why me?" Pietro whined,'' What have I done to deserve this?"

"It was Kathy,'' Lance said,'' I just know it.''

"It couldn't of been her,'' Todd said,'' She couldn't of filled all those balloons and thrown them.''

The others looked at Todd like he was an idiot.

"She can,'' Steve said,'' And she would.''

"Here is the plan,'' Lance said.

The x-men laughed.

"Good job Jean,'' Logan laughed,'' Never thought you had it in you.''

"Well,'' Jean laughed,'' I needed to do something on this trip. They might blame Kathy for this though.''

Just then the brotherhood jumped out. They had heard what Jean said. They grabed Jean and ran off. the x-men stood there in shock.

"What just happened?" Scott asked.

"The brotherhood,'' Kurt said,'' Jumped out, grabed Jean and ran off.''

They quickly ran into the forest. They found Jean tied to a tree, covered in honey. She was screaming her head off.There were lots ofbees stinging her. Logan grabed her and ran to the river. He droped her into the river. She came up a few seconds later. She wiped off the honey and got out. She had stings on her face, arms, and legs. She was shivering too.

"I hurt,'' Jean whined.

Scott picked her up and they went back to camp. The brotherhood ran back in camp, laughing their heads off. They droped the honey bottles in the fire.

"That was good,'' Todd said,'' I told you it wasn't Kathy.''

"Jean,'' Pietro said,'' Who would of thought, such a nice girl and she always wants us to be friends. I guess you were right Todd, for the first time.''

"Hey,'' Todd said,'' I'm right half the time.''

"No you are not,'' Pietro said,'' Hey they are back.''

They saw the x-men return. They laughed when they saw Jean, who went into the camper with Scott.

"I'm happy they are leaving tomorrow,'' Lance said,'' We can have a nice day after they leave.''

"Ya,'' Pietro said,'' No more pranks, but my hair.''

"It will come out,'' Steve said,'' Don't worry.''

"It's pink,'' Pietro whined,'' And green, red, blue, and yellow.''

The other boys rolled there eyes and went into the tent. They were happy that the x-men were leaving tomorrow. Pietro came in a few minutes later. They went to sleep in about two hours.
