Chapter Eight
The x-men were made that their camping trip was ruined. Jean had to stay in the camper the rest of the time.
"That can't do this,'' Kurt said,'' Ve must get them back before ve leave.''
"I have an idea,'' Kathy grined.
The brotherhood woke up to a beautiful day. They heard something outside and got out of the tent. They looke over at the x-men camp to see them loading up their stuff.
"You leaving?" Lance yelled.
"Ya,'' Kitty yelled,'' Well, see you at school.''
The x-men got in the camper, while Logan drove off. The brotherhood watched as they disapeared from site.
"YES,'' Pietro shouted,'' WE CAN DO ANYTHING.''
"Hi,'' They heard someone say. They turned around to see Kathy.
"What are you doing here?" Steve asked,'' You are suposed to leave with the others.''
"They left me,'' Kath said in a sad voice.
"Do you think we are going to believe that?" Pietro asked.
"Come on, yo,'' Todd said,'' Let her stay. The others will notice that she is gone and come back in get her.''
Lance, Pietro, and Steve rolled their eyes and sat down in their chairs.
"Do you want to go for a walk, Todd?" Kathy asked.
"Sure,'' Todd said.
They walked into the woods. The others watched them as they disapeared from view.
"What do you think is going to happen?" Lance asked.
"Who knows,'' Steve said,'' How many times has he fell for that trick?"
"I lost count after three hundred,'' Pietro said.
"It's really sad,'' Lance said,'' But too bad. It's funny what she does to him sometimes.''
Todd and Kathy walked to the river.
"Wait here,'' Kathy purred,'' I have a surprize for you.''
"Okay,'' Todd said, sitting down.
Kathy ran off into the forest. Todd sat there for about five minutes.' What is taking her so long?' Todd thought,'' Most be a good surprize.' Just then someone pushed him into the water. He came up to see Kurt.
"What are you doing here?" Todd asked.
"Hope you enjoyed the surprize,'' Kurt said,'' The surprize is not over.''
Kurt ran back into the forest. Todd was about to get out of the river, when someone grabed his legs and pulled him back under the water. He came up just in time to see Kitty run into the forest.
"That's not it,'' Kitty laughed.
Todd just stood stil, not wanting anything to happen.
Back at the camp. The boys were cooking some marchmellows. Just then the marchmellows went big and exploded. The boys were covered in marchmellows now. They tried to jump out of their seats, but couldn't.
"Yuck,'' Pietro yelled,'' Now I'm sticky, stuck to my chair, and the x-men are not even here to blame.''
"Kathy is here,'' Steve said.
"She is too busy picking on Todd,' Lance said.
Just then their tents fell down. The boys looked over at them. Fred came out of one and sat down in his chair, no even noticing them.
"Nice job at setting up the tents,'' Pietro said.
"Thanks,'' Fred said.
Just then Todd came back. He sat down in his chair and tried not to laugh at the others.
"What happened to you?" Lance asked.
"She kissed me,'' Todd said,'' It was so wonderful, then she left. Said she heard the camper.''
Lance, Pietro, and Steve sat there with their mouths open and wide eyes. They didn't think that Kathy would do that.
"That's nice,'' Fred said,'' Are you going out now?"
"I don't know,'' Todd said,'' I hope so. She would need to break up with Kurt, which will probably break his blue heart.''
"If she does,'' Lance said, coming out of his shock.'' Then I can't wait to see the look on Kurts face.''
"Me either,'' Steve laughed,'' Now can you get us out of here. I want to go down to the river.''
"Why the river?" Todd asked as he pulled Steve out of his seat.
"Because I want to swim,'' Lance said,'' See if this stuff comes out of my hair.''
Todd pulled Pietro out of his seat, while Steve helped Lance.
"Have fun,'' Fred said.
They went into the forest. It took them about ten minutes to find the river. Lance and Pietro jumped in quickly. Then Steve got in. Todd sat down next to the river.
"Are you coming in?" Pietro asked.
"No, yo,'' Todd said.
Just then the water stoped. Steve, Pietro, and Lance tried to move, but they couldn't. It was like glue.
"Help us,'' Pietro yelled.
Todd smiled an unusual smile.
"I don't help people who are not on my team,'' Todd said.
Todds eyes went blue, before he shape shifted in Kathy. She began to laugh.
"What have you done with Todd?" Steve asked,'' And when did you copy Mystiques power?"
"He is right next to you,'' Kathy said.
They looked over to see Todd a few feet away from them. He was standing very stil.
"And I copied her powers when I met her,'' Kathy said.
The other x-men came out of their hiding spots, laughing their heads off.
"How did you get here?" Pietro asked.
"We never left,'' Kitty said.
"Well,'' Scott said,'' I think it's time that we go.''
"Ya,'' Logan said,'' We have training to catch up on.''
The x-men left the brotherhood in the glueish water.
"WHAT ABOUT US?" Lance shouted.
There was no answer. They stood there for about ten minutes in silence.
"I want to leave,'' Pietro said,'' Mystiques punichment would of been better then this.''
"Lets agree to never go on a camping trip again,'' Lance said.
"Agreed,'' They said.
Just then the water went back to normal. They quickly got out and ran back to camp. They were shocked to see everything already loaded and Fred in the jeep.
"There you are,'' Fred said as they ran over.'' The x-men told me that we were leaving and to pack up.''
They jumped in the jeep and drove off. They drove down the rode they came.
"Can we stop at that one store?" Pietro asked, forgetting about his hair.
"Sure,'' Lance said, pulling into the store.
Pietro got out of the jeep and ran inside. He looked around for the girl. He found her in the back.
"Hey,'' Pietro said,'' Told you I would see you later.''
"What happened to your hair?" She asked, trying not to laugh.
"A little prank from my friends,'' Pietro said,'' They have the same kind of hair too.''
"Well,'' She said,'' I think it looks nice.''
"Thanks,'' Pietro said,'' So, I never got you name.''
"My name is Jamie,'' She said, then looked at her watch.'' I better go. Logan will be here any minute to pick me up.''
"Logan?" Pietro asked as they walked to the door.
"Ya,'' Jamie said,'' I'm an x-men, well bye.''
Jamie ran to a camper that just pulled up. She went inside and they drove off. Pietro got in the jeep with a look of shock on his face.
"Just go back home?" Lance asked.
"Ya,'' Pietro said.
Lance drove off. It took them a few hours to get back to the house. They left the stuff in the jeep and went inside. They went into the living room.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Mystique shouted.
The boys got down on their knees.
"We are so sorry,'' They said together.'' It will never happen again. Please don't kick us out. The x-men have already gave us a bad time. Look what they did to our hair. Please don't punich us.''
Mystique stood there in shock. The boys continued on for about an hour.
"Please stop,'' Mystique said,'' I won't do anything, but you better have some money next time.''
"Thank you,'' They yelled.
Mystique rolled her eyes and left the house. The boys sat down on the couches and watched tv. They were never going on a camping trip again. If they did, they were going to stitch Todds mouth up.
The End
