It was Christmas morning and all through the house, all the creatures were stirring, even the Elf.
The X-Men finally gathered in the main room, where a 10 ft tall pine tree was surrounded by packages of all sizes. The first person to open presents was the professer. From the first package came a very nice suit and a book on Physics. Wolverine beamed when he saw the gratefull look on the Professer's face. The next thing he opened was a fine wooden chess set. When the professer looked around questioning. Cyclops raised his hand and was rewarded by a huge grin on the old man's face.
The next thing he opened was a wig. This time no one took credit, but everyone burst out laughing as he placed it slowly onto his shiny bald head. The wig was bright purple and made even the dignified old man look like a clown. The next thing he opened contained an entire box of chocolate turtle french silk pie. He looked as if he wanted to dig in right there but he struggled into opening his other presents first. Next was a video tape. The professer took one look at it and blushed.The last box was a Bosten Red Sox cap. Suddenly, there was a voice at the door of the room.
"Did someone wish for a massage this christmas"
Said the elegant ruler of the Shiar galaxy, Lilranda.
"How about later, my dear"
Said the happy Professer.
"And then maybe we can enjoy this...um excellent movie."
Tired of listening to Jubilee's protestations, the team graciously decided to let her open next.
The first thing she opened was a cowboy hat filled with bubblegum and wrapped in a BRiGHT yellow raincoat. She shot a knowing glance at Logan but he refused to meet her eyes. She snatched up the next package. Then she found bunches and bunches of candy. She would be on a sugar high for days with all this. Then she found a 10,000 dollar shopping spree certificate. Next she found a box of clothes, along with a yellow minidress. She shrieked when she opened the next box. An XBOX 360! YEAH! Then she opened a pair of pajama's that looked very comfortable. THen she opened a computer, with games and a new PS2. Then she found paints and paper. Then she opened a new com device. Finally she opened a cell phone.
she was a little dissapointed that they hadn't gotten the puppies, but was eager to use her new stuff and see what the others had recieved.
Next was Cyclop's turn to open presents, dressed as Santa. In the first box a foul stench was emmited. Inside were the corpses of two fresh killed deadly rattlesnakes and a rat seemed to be filled with evil. He shut the box quickly as the rat, dubbed Logan, tried to bite him. Just like his namesake Cyclops thought. In the next box was a much better present. A beautifully embroidered scarf and a bottle of 1750 wine. Then he found a book called "Chilling out for dummies." Judging by the snicker from Bobby, this had been his idea. His final present was a locket, with a picture of Jean in one side, and a picture of him in the other.
After that was Jean's turn to open her presents. In the first box was vials of her favorite perfume. In the next box was a braclet of diamonds. Scott smiled shyly. Then she opened a package which contained a beautiffuly woven scarlet sweater, a perfect compliment for her hair. In the next present was the inscription, "Poetry as beautiful as the woman who reads them." She turned to Gambit and he flashed her his ladykiller grin. It the next box was a simple necklace of woven emeralds, that nearly rivaled her eyes for beauty. The next was a new costume, much more fitting for her place on the team than her former one. The final gift was a scrap of paper, folded over. On the outside was written,"Hand this to Logan"
Jean did as told. Logan opened the paper and his eyes widened in suprise and delight. He kissed her, while Beast held Scott back. Then he showed her the paper.
One the inside was written.
"Kiss me."
The next person to open gifts was storm. Many of her gifts were not wrapped, as they were rare species of flowers and beautiful to behold. Then she unwrapped her first present. Inside was a wonderully illistated book about how to cultivate a Japanese garden. The final gift she opened was a simple necklace, woven in the same design as Jean's, but it was composed of icy blue diamonds.
Then the demonic looking blue elf went to open his packages. The first thing he found was a unicycle and his eyes filled with delight as he attempted a ride on it. Then he opened a poker set. Then Gambit offered to teach him to play properly. The last gift was a new bible engraved with beautiful script. His bright gaze flickered over the pages.
The next to open was Collosus. His first package contained candy. The secound was a piece of mistletoe. Then to his delight he opened a computer with art games, tickets to a ball game, com device and a cell phone. THen his face truly lit up when he opened the scetch pad and paints.
Then Kitty opened her presents. She opened the mistletoe and grinned. Then she opened the shopping spree certificate, almost a duplicate of Jubilee's. Thier eyes met and they both shouted at the same time.
"Let's take Rouge"
Rouge just sighed. Then Kitty went back to opening her presents. The next thing she opened was awsome clothing and cool Pg's. Then she opened a new com device.Finally she opened a cell phone and grinned.
Then Bobby went to open his presents, and inside found, of course, mistletoe as well as A new game. The sequel to his other one, no less.He of course had tickets to the ball game and a com device and a cell phone. He grinned as he opened his last package and out spilled 4 pounds of candy.
Then Rouge went to open her presents, after a spat with Gambit. The first thing she opened was a pair of new gloves, black and blue. The secound was the old movie, Rose Red. The only movie that ever scared her, since her fav author was Steven King. Next was a huge package. Inside were all the writings of Steven King. She let out a silent cheer. At the next package she had to smile. It was a brand new leather jacket that almost comicly resembled her old one. The final package was tiny. Inside was a single key. All of the sudden, from outside a car horn blasted. She flew to the window. Outside was a cherry apple red convertable. Her eyes lit up, but they convinced her to stay inside untill the others had opened thier presents.
Then came Gambit. The first thing he unwrapped was a video camera, which Xavier picked up and faced toward Gambit. IN the secound gift was several weeks worth of seasonings. In the third were 10 packs of common playing cards and one beautifully desigened pack. In the next were a pair of expensive mirrored sunglasses. In the third was a case of bourbon. Then he discovered his bo-staff, better than new. He picked it up and spun it around. Cards started flying out the ends, showering the team. Then he realized he had his thumb on the green button and, pointing it at the door to the room, unleased an attack of charged cards. Next he opened a bunch of scary movies. His final gift was the best so far in his opinion. He opened a poker set, chips and a Texas hold 'em table.
Finally they convinced Logan to open his.The first thing he opened was beer, of which he tossed Nightcrawler one. Then he opened a bottle of whiskey. Then he opened another thing of beer. then he sniffed the next package and grinned as he lit up one of the fine cuban cigars. Next he opened a shirt of flannel design that stated "No, Im not a phsyco lumberjack." The team burst out lauging. Next he opened keys. He stared out the window and was suprised to find that next to Rouge's new car was a better-than-Scott's motercycle. Then he opened a bottle of very fine wine. Then he opened an envelope that turned out to be dinner with Jean.
Then there came a knock on the door. There stood a fully clothed Emma Frost, carrying letters. The X-men opened them. They were from the bad guys.
"Not-so merry christmas. We regret to inform you, that due to some sudden strain of the flu, as well as Sabertooth seeming to drink himself into having a killer hangover. and we do mean killer... still, we make the best of it that we should enjoy christmas."
The team burst out lauging.
Emma shook the deep snow, perfect for playing, from her new boots. Then she pointed to her car and clicked the button on her keyring. Out rushed a pack of pups.
The first one was a tiny chiwawa that ran up to Scott and promptly peed on his leg. On it's nametag was written, "Slim." The team burst out lauging.
The next one to emerge was a perfect shining collie. It trotted up to Jean and licked her hand. Her name was "Summer."
The next one was a growling snarling mutt that jumped on Logan and proceeded to lick his face. His decidedly German Shepard mutt jumped off him and stood at his side,still snarling and wearing a nametag that read "Blade."
Next came a floppy eared beagle, with big huge eyes. It shyly looked up at Jubille and almost tripped over his nametag, which read "Mallrat."
Then appeared a cute little Yorkie that hopped up on the Professer's lap and looked up at him. Her nametag read "Lil."
Out lumbered an Old english sheepdog puppy. It came up to storm and looked up calmly, licking at her hands. His name was "Thunder."
Before anyone noticed it, a blue-black lab had sprung over to Nightcrawler. The dog's name read "Clown."
Then emerged a HUGE puppy. The Great Dane jumped up at Collosus, thus tearing off it's nametag. It's name read "Tin Man."
Out srung a lab and border collie mix, purely black. Her name read "Shadow." She rushed up to kitty and began to lick at her face.
Then came a furry mutt with huge blue eyes. He trotted up to Rouge. One his coller was the name "Theif."
Then a big Rottwieler puppy jumped at gambit's hand, playing tug of war with the card Gambit currently held. It's nametag read "Ace."
Finally the last puppy emerged, a hairy St. Benard that lolled up to Beast. It looked up at him, panting. It's nametag read, "Darwin."
The End.
Epilouge...
The next winter 8 puppies were born to Summer, Jean's collie. They bore a suspicious resemblence to a certain german shepard mix.
