Chapter 6: A Life Like, Fully Animatronic Elephant
Kitty woke up and rolled over in her bed. She yawned and opened her eyes to find herself face to face with a life like, fully animatronic elephant.
"AHHhhh!" She shrieked, phasing through her bed and falling on the floor.
There was a load knock on the door.
"Kitty?" Logan growled, "Why're ya screaming?"
"Crap…um," Kitty ran to the door, phased through, and leaned against it, keeping Logan out. "N….nothing. It was a….a….spider!"
"Aww Half Pint, your gonna have ta get over that fear of spiders." Logan grumbled.
"Heh heh," Kitty sighed, "Yeah."
"Step aside, I'll go kill it." Logan said, pushing Kitty out of the way.
"No!" Kitty pulled Logan away, "Uh, Bobby already killed it!"
Bobby stuck his head out of his door, "What'd I do?"
Logan gave Kitty a questioning glare before she ran back into her room and slammed the door.
She picked up her cell phone and dialed the boarding house.
"Yeah?" Came Lance's voice.
"Tell Freddy to get the elephant out of my room!"

Lance drove up to the amphitheater and ran inside.
"Hank!" He yelled, interrupting Wanda, who was filling in for Jean, and Johnny's song rehearsal.
"Yes Lance?" Hank asked, annoyed, looking up from his music.
"We aren't rehearsing a scene with me in it right now…right?" Lance questioned.
"Umm, no, not right now." Hank answered.
"Great!" Lance smiled as he started to run back to his car.
"Like, where're are you going?" Kitty asked.
"Publicity!" Lance laughed as he jumped into his jeep and drove off.
"Uh, I'm gonna, like, go see what he's up to." Kitty said, worried.
"I think I should go with you." Hank said, leading Kitty to the X-Van.
Logan ran after them, "I wanna go too! They wont let me do anything!"
Hank sighed, "Alright get in the car."
The rest of the mutants watched the van drive off just before a loud crash erupted on the stage. They all looked back to see that a life like, fully animatronic elephant had appeared.
"Heh, that was close!" Freddy laughed.

Kitty, Logan, and Hank drove around Bayville until they found Lance. He was on a small stage he'd set up on a street corner covered in Phantom posters.
"What's he doing?" Kitty asked.
"Dunno." Logan shook his head.
"Let's go get him." Hank sighed.
Just then Lance pulled out his guitar and started played a rocked up version of "The Phantom of the Opera".
"What the…?" Logan looked confused.
"Lance?" Kitty questioned as Lance finished the song, "What are you doing?"
"Publicity!" He smiled.
"Aww!" Kitty giggled, "That's so cute!"
Logan grumbled and rolled his eyes.
"I guess that's alright," Hank said, "Just be back at the amphitheater in an hour for rehearsal."
"Alright." Lance smiled before started up another song.
Just as Hank, Kitty, and Logan drove off Freddy drove by in Scott's car with a life like, fully animatronic elephant sitting in the back seat.

"Alright Lance," Hank said, "You come on stage through that door," He pointed, "Otherwise you'll end up behind the mirror with Johnny.
Lance laughed and nodded.
There was a loud squealing from the back of the amphitheater.
"Get down!" Piotr yelled.
Everyone looked up to see the chandelier falling toward them.
They all started screaming.
Piotr turned to his metal form and grabbed the rope. "I got it!" He smiled.
Everyone sighed and went back to rehearsing.
Piotr's eyes widened as the robe began to slip through his metallic fingers.
"Get down again!" He cried.
Everyone screamed again.
"Got it again!" Piotr called.
"Piotr, tie that down until we find something stronger to hold it in place," He sighed, "What's making it fall anyway?" He looked up to see a life like, fully animatronic elephant sitting on top of the chandelier.
"I'll fix it!" Logan yelled running onto the stage.
"No!" Everyone yelled.
"Uh, Logan, go help Scott and Kurt with the trap door.!" Hank exclaimed as he pushed Logan off stage.
"But you said I couldn't…"
"Just go!" Hank shouted.
Logan grumbled and trudged down below the stage.
"Freddy," Hank sighed, "What did I tell you about hiding the elephant on the chandelier?"
"Nothing?" Freddy questioned.
"No, I told you not to hide it there." Hank corrected.
"No," Pietro argued, "You told us not to move the chandelier and hide it there."
"No…" Hank started before there was a crash and the trapdoor snapped open.
"Logan!" Scott could be heard yelling from under the stage, "What the heck are you doing?!"
"Hank told me to help you!" Logan's voice carried up to the students on the stage.
Scott and Logan's grumbling died down after a second.
"Hank rolled his eyes, "Alright fine, just hide it somewhere else!"
"Where?" Todd asked.
"I don't know!" Hank exclaimed, "Try the boarding house."
"Oh yeah!" Pietro laughed, "Logan hasn't been there since the Jamie incident!"
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Todd hopped down the hall to find Pietro and Freddy standing outside Lance's door.
"What are…"
"Shh!" Pietro quieted Todd, and pointed into the room where Lance was opening his closet. Just as the door opened a life like, fully animatronic elephant flew out of the closet and pinned Lance to the floor.
The three boys erupted in laughter.
"Aww man!" Pietro laughed, "That was awesome!"
"Yeah!" Todd cackled.
"I liked the part when the elephant fell on him!" Freddy laughed.
"Guys," Lance sighed, "Hand me the phone."
Pietro handed the phone to Lance who dialed Kitty's cell phone.
"Yeah Lance?" Came Kitty's voice.
"Kitty, the elephant…" Lance said.
"I'll be over in five." Kitty said before hanging up.
Lance put the phone down, "Why do you always have to drop things on me?!"
The guys smiled and shrugged.
"First it was the Hawk mascot, then the Mystique statue, which was very traumatizing," Lance growled, "And now a freaking elephant!"
"A life like, fully animatronic elephant." Todd corrected.
"I don't car if it's life like and fully animatronic!" Lance yelled as the door bell rang.
"I'll get it!" Pietro smiled.
"Why was Lance yelling?" Kitty asked.
"He's all grouchy cause we've dropped so many things on him." Pietro laughed.
"Like what?" Kitty asked.
"The Bayville Hawk, the Mystique statue and now the elephant." Pietro answered.
Kitty snickered as she walked into the room and saw Lance laying on the floor moaning.
"Ya know Lance, technically the Bayville Hawk was, like, dropped on me, you just jumped under it, so you shouldn't be that upset." Kitty smiled.
"Yeah well, the Mystique statue was enough to scar me for life." Lance said.
"Aww, poor baby." Kitty giggled as she phased Lance out from under the elephant.
"Come on, I'll drive you to rehearsal." Lance smiled.
Kitty kissed his cheek and skipped down stairs.
A goofy grin appeared on Lance's face.
"Loser!" Pietro snickered after smacking Lance on the forehead.

The Jamie incident refers to a lovely, funny story, who's name I can't remember, written by Red Witch. So you should go read her stuff!
So not bad for a chapter I was forced to write by the slave driving ProFool! J I growled at her while she and Pheloneous played X-Men Legends…because I love that game…and they were playing it while I wrote and ProFool told me stuff to write. But I actually wanted to get another chapter done…I was just grumpy cause of all the rain…and cause we had to go back to school today. We shall update soon!
