((Author's Notes: I decided to write a plotted fanfic. I mean, how many are there really that I write? Thank goodness, a non-JAT though. And complete Kurt/Lance/Kitty love triangles. Gotta love those. Shall I explain the plot? Nein. I think I'll just let you read and figure it out yourself. Can you guess who gets the girl? Oh, and to compromise, if you read and reveiw my story, I'll do the same for you. I'm a nice little furry elf, aren't I?))

((Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men: Evolution or the X-Men. But I do own this awesome Slayers Tape I got from eBay! I love Slayers the Motion Picture!))

((Author's Note: This chpater, like Chapter 5, is JAT. I wanted to toss in a little.. no.. a lot more humor. I don't agree with Male/Male (Or Yaoi, what most people call it.) relationships. This is just a joke. No, I don't think the speedy one is gay. Enjoy! For humor!))

Bayville High Drama Club Presents... "Romeo & Juliet"

by N I G H T C R A W L E R

Pietro laughed at the new markings all over the face of Shakespeare on yet another vanalized promotional poster. Toad was doing a mighty fine job of screwing up all the posters. It was the perfect way to make fun of Lance.

Pietro set floor inside his next class, and sat in the back. He didn't do his homework, and he only had 10 minutes to do the assignment. He spent exactly. 5.3 seconds on the assignment, and the rest of the 9 minutes and 5.7 seconds left he spent admiring the words scribbled on the desk.

Only 5 minutes left to go. Pietro was so bored.

In hopped Toad, using his hands to push himself forward even faster than he hopped already. "Yo, Pietro."

"Todd," Pietro nodded as Toad made his way over to the desk.

Toad stood and sat in the desk beside the speed demon. "Look, yo. We have to find a new way to make fun of Lance. He just ain't hating the poster thing enough."

"Yeah, I know." Pietro agreed. Although he loved the poster perspective, but they needed something that hit closer to home.

Toad's murky yellow eyes followed a newly discovered fly around the room as he spoke. "You know what would really get him, yo? If someone else got the part of Romeo. Or Juliet."

Pietro snapped his fingers. "Thatsit!Weneedtofindsomeoneelsetoauditionfortheparts!" He smiled and looked to Toad, who was distracted. "I want to audition."

Toad lashed his tounge out at the fly, finally claiming his prize. "For Romeo or Juliet?" He chuckled, feeling a bit triumphant.

"You know all those times when Lance feels like slamming your head in the door? Well, I feel that way right now. But I'll need someone to audition with." Pietro placed a hand under his chin, and pondered a moment. "I got it!"

Toad cocked an eyebrow. "What? The measles?"

Pietro let his arm fly out to hit Toad in the head. Fortunately, he dodged. "No, idiot. You can try out as Juliet."

Toad fell off the seat and hit his head on the one Pietro was seated at. "What?!"

"Just think! It will be the perfect. Lance will hate us for it." He smiled, and ran out the door, which didn't take long. He was back in two seconds with a purse, laughing. "We need a girl to put this on you. I can't do it."





Tabitha stared down at Toad. "You're kidding." School had been out for only six minutes, and Pietro and Toad had rushed to her for help with the makeup.

"No. Put the makeup on the frog. Quick. Before Lance sees." Pietro sat on the back of Lance's beat up car, waiting for Tabitha to paint Toad's less than pretty face.

Tabitha sighed and started applying makeup. She wasn't exactly an artist at it, but she knew how to do it better than Toad and Pietro did. "There." After five minutes, Toad looked like the son of Tabitha.

"Ugh. I look like a stupid drag queen, yo." Toad said, inspecting himself in the mirror.

"Well, duh. Thats what you are." Tabitha slid back into the car.

Pietro slid off the back and looked to Toad. "Well, thanks Tabby." He grabbed Toad by the arm, and dashed off to the same classroom they'd been in before.

"Now for your dress..."





Kitty stomped. She was so nervous. She held the script in her hand in front of the auditorium, where she'd planned to meet Kurt. He was exactly 12 seconds late.

Kurt rushed down the hallway as fast as he could using 'human' posture. He liked looking normal, but the way people ran was just too complicated for him. Soon coming face-to-face with the nervous Kitty, he smiled. "Sorry, Katzchen. I got distracted while going to my locker."

Kitty couldn't help but smile at Kurt's german. "Its okay. I haven't been waiting long." She looked down at the floor. "God, I'm so nervous."

Kurt placed his hand on Kitty's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry. You'll do fine." Kitty smiled up at the blue being and nodded.

"You're right." She exhaled, and then burst out. "Kurt, do you want to be my partner when we try out?" Soon trying to lie an excuse, she blurted. "I just don't think I can do it alone."

He put up a thumbs up signal, and she exhaled once more. "Thanks, Kurt."





"You're too fat." Pietro tried to force the dress over Toad's head.

Toad shook his head. "I'm too manly to be a woman." Pietro finally got the dress on right. He tied up all the sashes and zipped all the zippers. "This feels funny."

"You're beautiful." Pietro gasped for air.

Toad looked completely ridiculous. He wore a renessaince dress, with his hair fixed strangely on his head. The makeup Tabitha had applied was very heavy. He was Pietro's perfect definition of 'ugly.'

"Alright, alright, yo. Quit laughing. We have to get to the auditorium, ya know?" Toad stood his full height, still a bit shorter than Pietro, and walked out of the room. "Damn woman shoes."





Pietro and Toad arrived just in time. Pietro had told Jean eariler that he and a 'special someone' had planned on auditioning, so she went ahead and put Pietro's name on the list.

"A'right. Ah'm here. Lets go." Rogue announced as she took a seat beside Jason, who sat beside Lauren, who sat beside Jean.

Jason nodded to Jean, and she looked on the list. "Pietro Maximoff! You're first."

Pietro took a few steps onto the stage, and smiled. Godlike. This oughtta be good, Rogue thought.

The godlike image of a conceited teenager bowed, and took a kneeling postition, looking offstage.

"But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?" Rogue nodded in approval. Pietro was pretty good. "He is the Toad, and this is a pun!" Ugh. There went his audition.

But still, Rogue found herself chuckling, along with Lauren. Jean and Jason both looked a bit upset.

"Arise, fair Toad! And kill the envious sarcasm, which I speak at the moment! You are already pale and green with a slime caked face! See! How you lean your cheek upon your hand! And if I were to touch that cheek! I'd most definately wear a glove!" Pietro seemed rather gallant while preforming his act. He seemed overconfident.

Toad stepped out on stage. All four of the people seated before the stage erupted into laughter.

Toad's lip switched. "Shut up, man." He mumbled, and recieved a sharp look from Pietro. "Eck! Ah.. er.. Hey, yo!"

"It speaks! Oh speak again, slimey Toad! As glorious as this.." Pietro looked up. "Uh.. Crapass lighting, being o'er my head, as a green messenger of.. frogs. This that and the other, bladdy bladdy blah, speak again, Toad!"

"O Pietro! O Pietro! Where are you, Peitro? To take a shower and change my name. Or if you won't be but sworn my love, then I no longer shall be a Toad, yo! But a handsome.. princess for ya to take home."

Jean stood and held out her hand, her cheeks flushed from laughing. "Th..Thats enough you two. We'll call you back when we tell you that.. you don't have the part."

Pietro and Toad bowed, and ran offstage.

Rogue was still laughing in spite of the exit of the two, but managed to choke out:

"N..Next!"
