Chapter One

"Finally,'' Pietro sighed,'' A month without Mystique asking for money. HALLOWEEN.''

"It's the only day humans and mutants get along,'' Fred said.

"No it's not,'' Todd said,'' Okay, maybe it is. We should do something this year.''

"We can throw a party,'' Lance said,'' But no x-men. Agreed?"

"Agreed,'' They said.

X-mansion

"What are we going to do this year?" Scott asked.

"We are doing our halloween party of course,'' Jean said,'' It's a thing we do every year.''

"And who comes?" Evan asked.

"He's right,'' Kurt said,'' No one comes.''

"Fine,'' Jean sighed,'' Then what are we going to do?"

"We could go to a party,'' Scott suggested,'' Be way better then planing a party.''

"That's a good idea,'' Kitty said,'' I'll call all my friends to see who is throwing partys.''

Kittyruns out of the room. The others watch tv, wondering what party they will go to.

Brotherhood house

"Give up the money,'' Pietro yelled.

They had no money to buy the stuff. The only person with money was Todd, but he wasn't giving it up. Said he was saving it for his girlfriend. The others were beginning to believe that he didn't have a girlfriend. They never saw her or he never told them her name.

"Come on,'' Lance yelled,'' You know that we need the money.''

"I'm saving it for something and you know it,'' Todd yelled.

"I think you don't have a girlfriend,'' Pietro yelled,'' And that you are making the whole thing up.''

The door flew opened and Todd walked out, looking very mad.

"I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND,'' Todd shouted,'' WHO DO YOU THINK PICKED ME UP THAT ONE DAY, WHEN WE DID THE PAPER ROUTES.''

"I always wondered where he went,'' Fred whispered.

"Don't mention the paper routes,'' Lance moaned,'' I stil have a bump on my head.''

"If you have a girlfriend,'' Pietro said,'' Then who is it?"

Just then a ceil phone rang. They looked around. Todd took a ceil phone out of his pocket. The others stared at him. The same thought ran through their minds. 'Where did he get the ceil phone?'

"Hi,'' Todd said,'' Nothing, parties, well we are having a party. Really, that's nice. Bye.''

"Who was that?" Lance asked.

"My girlfriend,'' Todd said, then realized something and slaped himself.'' My girlfriend is an x-men. Oops.''

"You invited the x-men,'' Pietro yelled,'' Great job, idiot. Now what are we going to do?"

"Can you call your girlfriend?" Lance asked.

"You call her,'' Todd said handing the phone to Lance and going into his room.

Lance looked at the phone and grined. He began to look through the numbers. Todd opened the door and took the ceil phone back. He ran back into his room and locked the door.

"So much for finding out,'' Fred said.

"I wonder who it is,'' Lance said,'' It is going to bug me until I find out or die.''

"You really want to know?" Fred asked.

Pietro and Lance looked at Fred.

"Do you know?" Pietro asked.

"Ya,'' Fred said,'' But I'm not going to tell you.''

The grins on Lance and Pietro face disapeared. Fred went back to the kitchen.

"I want to know,'' Lance whined,'' I want to know.''

Pietro rolled his eyes and went into the living room to make plans for the party in three days. Lance went into the living room about five minutes later. Todd peeked out the door, then closed it again. He dialed a number on his ceil phone.

"Hey,'' Todd said,'' Listen, I don't think the others will like it if you and your friends come over to the party. No, bab just listen. Okay, you can come, but don't blame me if they don't like it. Okay, bye.''

Todd hung up the ceil phone and sighed.' Can never talk her out of anything,' Todd thought,' But that is why I like her. I just hope the others don't mind.'
