Reviews:
To sheisbeautiful-sheisnotme: Thank you very much. Okay, first off, yes. Rogue and Remy both now that Raven is their daughter. But they also know that Raven and Lightning are time-travellers from another dimension. So, what happened in Raven's dimension might not necessarily happen in this one. That's why they "aren't" dating. Well, that depends on who you ask. Remy will tell you they are dating and about the secret kiss in the coach, Rogue will tell you she hates his cajun guts and they are definitely NOT dating. And then Jean will come along and flirt with him and immediately Rogue is acting like they ARE dating. So, everyone just assumes that they are dating and that Rogue is having a hard time dealing with the issue. As for Rita. Fortunately, my in-laws decided to move to CO. And now I can breathe, but I'm moving and pregnant. ha. Such fun. . . sarcasm there.
To Cat2Fat900: I laugh because it's hilarious! Well, she should, but that wouldn't be as much fun to write. Lol. Well, here are the copies of Pietro's pictures. The note? Probably Logan, no doubt. Lol. Black food coloring. You might be able to find some about now. As much as I hate All Hallow's Eve, you can probably find a bunch of Black and Orange everything. I don't know which scream is more girlly. . .Pietro's or Scott's. Yeah, Rogue is pretending a lot of things lately isn't she? Lol. Well, it that situation. . . wouldn't you? Lol. Thank you very much! SFWD!
A/N: (taps foot) Only two reviews? Where have all my loyal reviewers gone? Huh? Looks like I may need to borrow CF's squirrels. What follows is about the only part in SW that I can tolerate. Sorry this took so long. Moving while you're pregnant is awful.
This story is dedicated to Kyo-Kitty, for inspiring it. Thank you. . .
And now, Raven and Lightning present . . .
Rogue White and the Seven Mutants.
Scene 7: Silly Song Night.
Scott's voice is hoarse from screaming for help. He can barely speak. He sighs with relief when Raven and Lightning walk in.
"He's still hanging there? We should let him down." Lightning tells her.
Raven sighs. "I suppose so." She uses her telekinesis to lift Scott and set him on the floor.
Scott kisses the floor and tries to say thank you, but his voice is too hoarse. Raven just shrugs and proceeds to cover a jelly donut in cayenne pepper.
As everyone shows up, most of them looks disgusted at her choice of seasoning. Gambit looks like he might try to steal a bite, so she tosses the cayenne to him and he gets his own donut just before Fred reaches the table.
After the donut feast is over, Raven decides to start the play with her usual "Lights! Camera! Action!"
Music comes from the little cottage. The IAR animals and Rahne are all gathered around the window watching as the shrunken mutants dance and yodel. Rogue is sitting on a miniature chair daintily and clapping her hands. Evan and Kitty dance around. Beast is playing the bass. Kurt is playing the accordion. Raven, Lightning, Logan and Sabretooth are all wearing ear plugs again. The music is terrible seeing that neither Beast nor Kurt know how to play the particular instruments they're playing. Tabby starts to yodel as Evan watches her neck move.
"Why do you have to be such a creep!" she says belting him across the head.
Raven clears her throat. "Stick to the script."
Tabby rolls her eyes and continues to yodel.
Toad is playing a rather strange looking pipe organ.
Kitty comes to stand in front of Rogue and says, "I'd, like, totally like to, like, dance and tap my feet, but they, like, won't stay in rhythm. You see, I, like, washed them both today, and I, like, totally can't do nothing with them."
And the rest of the shrunken mutants start to sing, "Ho hum, the tune is dumb. . ." and the song goes on to say how the words don't mean anything and how silly the song is. Kitty tap dances and Evan starts playing the drums. He accidentally lets loose several spikes and the hit the drum and bounce through one sleeve and out the other. Everyone ducks and they get stuck in the wall.
Kitty and Tabby drag Kurt into the middle of the room. "I. . ." Kurt begins, but he gets to bashful and says, "Oh gosh," while playing with his tail.
Toad plays a horrible note that gets Kurt to say his part.
"I chased a polecat (1) up a tree, vay out upon a limb, and vhen he got ze best of me, I got ze vorst of him." Kurt says and then blushes. You can almost see the blush through his fur.
The shrunken mutants start singing the chorus again. Evan plays a cymbal and then places it on his head like a Chinese hat and walks off sideways. Everyone on the set and off it rolls their eyes. Kitty begins to yodel. She's been taking lessons from Piotr, supposedly taking lessons anyway. What they were actually doing is up for grabs. Rogue begins to sing along.
Jean yawns from shear boredom. She's holding a recorder like instrument. The IAR fly flies into her mouth during the yawn and back out again. Jean sees it and gets angry. She starts swatting at it.
Beast drags Rogue to the dance floor. All the while, Rogue is glaring at the directors because they know she hates dances. Raven and Lightning both just shrug at her, grinning evilly. Rogue dances around with Beast, Kurt and Tabby, while Kitty has taken over the bass. She not much better than Beast at it either.
Forge decides the IAR fly has had enough of Jean and makes it land on Evan's ear. Evan tries to swat it, but hits the cymbal instead. Forge finds a way to make Evan play better and lands the fly on top of the drums that Evan needs to hit. Finally, he lands it on Jean's nose again. She reaches for something, anything to swat it with. Evan hands her a cymbal. She brings the cymbal down hard. But the IAR fly flies off in time and Jean only hits herself in the face and looks extremely disoriented.
Rogue bursts out laughing. "That has gotta be the funniest thing Ah've seen in a long time!"
Kitty and most of the other cast are laughing too.
Raven has an amused look on her face for a time, but then tries to settle everyone down. "Okay, people. I think we've all wallowed in Jean's humiliation long enough."
Lightning continues, "There's still a play to get on."
Rogue begins to dance with Kitty, Beast and Kurt while Gambit looks slightly jealous from off stage.
Evan climbed up on Tabby's head. "And why can't I be on the bottom?" he asks.
"Because you're a perve, that's why!" Tabby growls at him. She starts to make a fake sneeze and Evan stops it with his foot. "Thanks. Ugh," she groans. "Do you ever wash those?"
"That's enough Tabby." Raven calls. "Evan bashing time is over for now. The next scheduled time block is 9:15 am EST."
"Oh, I better mark that on my planner." Everyone on the set, besides Raven, Lightning, and Evan, pull out personal planners and mark the time.
Getting back to the play, a very angry Evan pulls a coat around him and Tabby. They head toward the dance floor. Evan, looking stupid, with his tongue hanging out and snapping his fingers, while Tabby walks and peeks through the jacket. They head towards Rogue. Rogue curtsies and Evan tries to bow, but starts to fall over, Tabby saves him by reaching up and grabbing his butt. Rogue dances with them.
The music abruptly ends as Tabby begins to sneeze. All the shrunken mutants, Rahne, and the IAR animals hide while Evan tries to stop the sneeze frantically. Eventually, being stupid, Evan tries to stop the sneeze by putting a finger under his own nose. Of course, that doesn't work and Tabby sneezes, making a time bomb that lifts Evan up in the air.
The coat comes down around Tabby and she looks adorable. All the shrunken mutants, Rahne, and the IAR animals laugh and comes out of hiding. Rogue sits down laughing. Evan is stuck up on a rafter. He wiggles his ears and All the shrunken mutants, Rahne, and the IAR animals laugh harder, mostly because Evan is stuck up on the rafter. He slides down a decorative beam, getting splinters along the way. All the shrunken mutants, Rahne, and the IAR animals laugh at him again.
Rogue calms down and says, "That was fun."
"Now you, like, do something," Kitty says.
"Well," Rogue asks, "What shall Ah do?"
"Tell us a story," Jean says with a bored yawn.
"Yes, a story," the shrunken mutants say. Scott, begins to sob profusely.
"Like, a true story," Kitty adds.
"A love story," Kurt adds.
Rogue thinks, but gets an idea, "Well, once there was a princess."
"Was the princess you?" Beast asks.
Rogue nods, "And she fell in love." She is staring straight at Remy, though she doesn't think anyone is noticing, when in fact, everyone on the set notices.
"Was is hard to do?" Tabby asks.
Rogue laughs, "Oh, it was very easy," she says rather truthfully. "Anyone could see that the Prince was charmin'. The only one fer me." She's still staring at Gambit, who is staring straight back with a smirk on his face.
Beast asks, "Was he strong and handsome?"
"Was he big and tall?" Tabby asks.
With a far away look in her eyes, Rogue answers, "There's nobody like him, anywhere at all."
Kurt asks, "Did he say he loved you?"
"Did he, like, steal a kiss?" Kitty asks.
Rogue starts to sing, "He was so romantic, Ah could not resist. . ." She sings about how one day, her prince will come and take her away to his castle where they'll be happy forever.
The shrunken mutants all sit in a circle and listen to her sing, except for Toad, who is hiding behind the strange looking pipe organ with a, "Hmph, mush." The IAR animals and Rahne snuggle. Rahne is slightly nervous, of course because every once in a while, one of them sparks and smoke start to billow out. The shrunken mutants sigh and suddenly the cuckoo clock goes off.
Rogue stops singing and looks at the clock. She stands up. "Oh my goodness! It's past bedtime." She starts shooing the shrunken mutants up the stairs. "Go right upstairs ta bed."
They all start up the stair with Evan in the lead. Beast grabs Evan's shirt and says, "Wait! Hold on men." He shoves Evan back. Evan hits the wall with his head. He stands up rubbing it.
Raven grins and tells Beast, "Excellent addition to the script, carry on."
"The Princess will sleep in our beds upstairs." Beast tells the shrunken mutants.
"But," Rogue protests, "where will y'all all sleep?"
"Oh," Beast continues, "We'll be quite comfortable down here in a, um, in a . . ."
"In a pig's eye!" Toad grumbles.
"In a pig's eye, sty, No! No!" Beast says, getting frustrated. "I mean, we'll be comfortable. Won't we men?"
All the shrunken mutants besides Toad and Evan answer, "Oh yes, mighty comfortable." Scott starts beating his head against a brick wall.
Evan spies the only pillow on a bench.
"Now, Beast tells Rogue, "don't you worry about us. We'll be alright, mam, Go right on up now."
Evan lies down on the bench, cuddled up with the pillow.
"Well. . ." Rogue says sceptically, "if y'all insist. Good night." She heads up the stairs.
"Good night, Princess," they answer. Scott's head is starting to bleed and he passes out. Logan rolls his eyes and bandages his head.
Rogue reaches the top of the stairs, trying very hard not to laugh at Scott. "You're sure y'all'll be comfortable?"
"Oh yes, very comfortable," they all say at the same time. Scott wakes up just at that moment and starts bawling again.
"Well," Rogue says. "Pleasant dreams."
"Pleasant dreams," the shrunken mutants say. Scott's hoarse scream is heard throughout the building.
Rogue goes into the bedroom and burst out laughing.
As soon as the door is closed, all the shrunken mutants rush to the pillow. Evan tries to hold on, but they grab it and pull it in several directions at once. "Let go." one of them say. Out of the seven of them, only Evan and Beast are not pulling on the pillow.
Beast tries to calm them down, unsuccessfully, by saying, "Now, men. Don't get excited. Share and share alike." The pillow is being stretched to it's limits. "Look out! It's gonna rip!"
And that's when the pillow does rip. Feathers and shrunken mutants go flying. Evan grabs a feather and uses it as a pillow and soon he falls asleep.
The camera cuts to the upstairs bedroom where Rogue is praying. "Bless the seven little mutants who have been so kind ta me and may my dreams come true. Amen," she finishes her prayer and starts to stand, but remembers one more thing. "Oh yes, and please make Toady like me."
The camera cuts back downstairs to the kettle, where Toad is laying. "Hmph, women!" he huffs and tries to settle down, but there's something under him. He pulls out a spoon. "A fine kettle of fish!" He spits on the dimming fire and it glows brighter.
Snores are heard coming from around the room. Toad looks over at Kurt, asleep in a drawer and then up to Kitty, who is curled up in a cupboard.
Piotr smiles, off stage and whispers to Gambit, "She looks just like a little angel."
"Mon ami, Remy believe you got it pretty bad."
Raven glares at them and they stop.
Beast is curled up in the sink where water drops in his mouth and makes his gargle. Tabby is sleeping on the bench, using Evan's butt as a pillow. Evan has a dream and starts whimpering like a dog and shaking. Tabby sits up and pokes him. He settles down and Tabby fluffs his butt and lays back down. Jean is asleep on the log pile and the IAR fly lands on her nose. She flicks it and goes back to sleep. The IAR fly lands on her nose again and goes to sleep.
The camera cuts to outside the dark cottage.
"And cut!" Lightning calls.
Mini Tabby runs to the bathroom to throw up. She comes out in tears. Amara goes and picks her up. "It's okay, Tabs."
"They made me touch Evan's butt!"
"I know. I know. We'll get you the best consolers out there." Amara says softly.
"Better yet," Raven tells her. "I'll just erase it from your memory."
"You can do that?" Mini Tabby questions.
"Uh huh. Raven will make it all better."
"Okay. Do it!" Tabby says.
"Hey, it wasn't that bad was it?" Mini Evan whines.
"Yes!" the entire cast and crew shouts.
Scott passes out again and we shall leave about now.
A/N: Well, in-laws are gone, and all's well, except my TV broke, don't worry, I have another one, but I'm moving so expect things to get a little strange with me for a while.
Next up. . . The apple.
