John Bender, Eat Your Heart Out!
'The 80's called; they want their look back.'
"Huh?" Lance said to the bumper sticker in his hands.
"You have what is referred to as a mullet, man," Todd told him as he hopped by.
"A mullet?" Lance asked. "What's that?"
"Your hairstyle, dude," Pietro said. "It is so two decades ago." He waved limply at the blondish-brown mess adorning the rock-tumbler's head.
Lance made a face; Pietro had been watching 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' way too much. He had no idea how Tabby put up with him.
"Which is why the sticker says the 80's want their look back," Todd explained needlessly. Seeing Lance getting ready to shake something, his eyes bugged out and he shot out the door. "Later! I have a date with Rogue!"
"See if you can find me something to send to whatever jerk sent me this!" Lance yelled after him, before flopping down on the sofa.
"It could be worse," Pietro pointed out.
"How?" Lance asked defeatedly.
"They could've said you look like a reject from the Breakfast Club," Pietro said triumphantly, grinning.
"He does look like a reject from the Breakfast Club," Kitty retorted, walking through the doorway. "Have either of you seen Kurt? He shows up at school, but no one's been able to find him at the Institute for a week."
"I think he's hiding, Kit, don't know where," Lance said. "And which member of the Breakfast Club am I supposed to be?" he asked, needled.
"John Bender, the rebel stoner with messy blond hair, fingerless leather gloves and an earring," Kitty told him.
Grimacing, Lance stayed silent. He wasn't a stoner, but he had smoked a joint or two in his day, and Kitty knew it.
And anyone who looked at him could see he was dressed exactly as Kitty had stated.
"If Kurt's not here, I'm gonna go back to the mansion," Kitty said. "But before I go, would one of you guys please get Bobby? He iced up the pipes in the girl's locker room this morning – right when we were all showering after practice. I had to run out into the hall in nothing but a too-small towel."
Lance's gaze turned stony. His and Kitty's relationship may not have lasted very long, but he still considered her one of his closest friends. As well, Pietro had never liked Bobby since the time he'd done the same thing to the boy's locker room at school when he was the only one in there.
