Jean, Ororo, Rogue, and Kurt: No, I don't think he was left behind. And if he was, then he must have teleported to it. *shrug* He's there now. ^^
Chaotic Boredom, Livi, and Asteria: Thanks!
ZaiFae: Thank you! Yep, it was Bloaty's. Woo, a pic of Chibi-Nightcrawler?! I WANNA SEE! Ooh! I was gonna tell you, when I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean *sigh* , I noticed there was a Panera Bread House right next to the theater!
Raskolion Phoenix: Hey, who wouldn't find the idea of Chibi-Nightcrawler really funny? ^_~
AngelShadowCat/Nightcrawler: Chibis look weird bald, huh? I've never seen a bald one.
Lladyred01: Yes, insanity. I like insanity. ^.^ No, Logan wouldn't wanna be called cute, but hey! Chibi-Wolverine WOULD be cute! ^_^
Prplebunnie: I'll keep that in mind.
Siren Fae: LOL! Both would be fun to cuddle!
A/N: Everyone has a Chibi, but I'm just going to stick to talking about the people I know best, because I haven't seen all the eppies yet *sob!*, and I don't know everyone's names.
A/N #2: Sorry it took me so long to write this, but I've been having a bad case of writer's block.
Now to chapter two!
After arriving back at the mansion, everyone piled out of the X-Van (now that I think of it, that would be pretty crowded. Maybe they should have taken the Jet. But of course, no one knew what they'd find, so . . . ). Jean had a small amount of trouble levitating all the Chibis into the Institute, but since they were all about two feet tall (and most of the X-Men were being good; it was just the Brotherhood and Magneto's crew that needed watching), it wasn't that hard. Prof. Xavier used his awesome mind power to peek outside and when he saw what was going on, he almost fell out of his wheelchair. But that reaction could easily have been not because of the sight he saw, but because he saw himself as a chibi, and the chibi him looked weird. He quickly regained his balance, rolled outside, and down to the main hall.
The X-Men walked in, carefully eyeing their smaller counterparts, and herded them towards the Professor. Xavier had already seen them in his brain, but seeing them with his eyes was still a shock.
"Where did they come from?" He managed to ask.
"No idea," Scott answered.
By the time Scott and Xavier had exchanged these two short lines of dialogue, the Chibis had managed to escape! Kitty was the first one to notice they were gone.
"They're not here!"
"We have to find them!" Kurt answered, and immediately teleported away. Jean flew off, and Scott and Kitty ran. Well, actually, Kitty did a combination of running and phasing. Xavier rolled off.
Logan was in the danger room giving another of his favorite sessions to some of the younger X-kids. He always seemed to enjoy these, although no one was entirely sure why. He was about to press a giant red button that looked rather ominous when his keen sense of smell picked up a scent he'd never smelled before.
A/N: I'm probably going out on a limb here, but one can't smell their own scent, right?
He peeked out the window to try and identify the unknown person when he saw a shadow flicker by the doorway of the control room. Turning around quickly, he let loose his claws. But there was nothing. He turned to look back down on the danger room and jumped.
Standing right in front of him, about to push that wonderful red button, was himself!
Chibi-Wolverine looked up at his taller counterpart. "Hey, bub, if you're not gonna push this button, I am."
Logan proceeded to do something he'd probably never done before in his life. He screamed girly-like and passed out. Chibi-Wolverine glanced down at Logan and snickered before pushing the button and running off.
A/N: Hehe. Why was that so much fun to write?
Meanwhile, down in one of the Institute's many labs, Ororo was working on some kinda new thingy. And this thingy was very important, though no one really knew what it did yet. That's why it was still in the 'thingy' stage. She realized she needed a very special tiny fragile tool, but the tool she needed was located at the opposite end of the building, over in Hank's lab. She sighed and wished she could teleport like Kurt. She was just going to go to get it when she noticed a change in atmosphere. Judging by the amount of air displaced and all that kinda stuff, it was a very small person. But there wasn't any really small children here, were there?
Chibi-Storm crept up behind Ororo and poked her. Ororo swung around and looked down. Her mouth opened in surprise as she pointed at her chibi.
"Here's that tool you need for that important thingy," Chibi-Storm offered, holding it up carefully. Ororo opened her mouth and closed it a couple times before reaching down and taking it.
"Thanks," Ororo finally managed to say. Chibi-Storm flew up to get a better look at the device.
"So, what is it?"
"Who are you?" Ororo said at the same time Chibi-Storm said her line.
"I'm a mini-you."
"How? Why?!"
"I don't know."
"I have to go see Xavier."
"The Chibi or the regular sized one?"
"He has a mini-version of himself too?!"
"Everyone does. They're all somewhere in the mansion, being drawn to their taller counterparts," Chibi-Storm paused. "Although, if I'm correct, the Brotherhood Chibis should be headed to the Bayville Boarding House and Chibi Magneto, Pyro, Colossus, and Gambit should all be heading to where ever they're staying right now as well."
"That's not good," Ororo said.
"No, it isn't."
Chibi-Storm was right. They all were headed off to find themselves. Of course, since Bayville doesn't seem that big, they were all arriving at their destinations right about . . . now!
Chibi-Magneto pushed open the door of the latest hideout and waltzed in as if he owned the place. Which, technically, he did. His Chibi minions followed nervously. Chibi-Magneto looked around critically.
"This place is a mess," He commented.
"Is it your place to criticize my choice of decorations?" Came a somewhat bolder and more ominous voice than the one that just spoke as a dark figure floated slowly towards the Chibis. Chibi-Gambit, Pyro, and Colossus looked scared whereas Chibi-Magneto merely looked confused.
"Whoa. I never realized that entrance looked so cliched!"
"Does it really?" Magneto asked, starting to wonder about the originality of his costume.
A/N: On Saturday, I was watching X-Men: Evo, and my little brother pointed at Magneto and said, "Shredder!" (From the Ninja Turtles.) So, that's what sparked that little comment. LOL.
"Yeah, it does. You gotta come up with something new."
Magneto finally got a good look at the intruders -- and gasped.
"Who are you?!"
"We're you. Well, not you alone, but you know what I mean."
"Interesting. Very interesting."
While Magneto develops his latest plot - which I, the authoress, haven't even thought about yet - let's mosie on over to the Brotherhood, shall we? I think Toad is gonna have fun with this. . .
"We're outta food!" Fred exclaimed from inside the fridge. Well, he obviously wasn't inside the fridge, but his head was.
"So go get some!" Lance called back from the living room where he was watching TV.
"Okay." Fred agreed agreeably and walked out to the front door, from where he expected to leave the house, go to the store, and scare a clerk into giving him free food. But alas, this was not to happen today, for when he opened the door, he screamed and staggered backwards, thus insuring his foodless day.
"What is it?" Pietro called from the upstairs rooms where he was working on a model airplane.
"It's US!" Fred called back shakily.
"Whaddya mean 'it's us'?" Toad asked, hopping out to the door. "We're alrea--whoa!"
Their Chibis waved.
"It IS us!" Toad yelled.
"Let us in!" Chibi-Wanda demanded. Toad looked down, and his eyes literally turned into hearts. Like an anime.
"But of course!" Toad said, standing aside to let Chibi-Wanda in.
"What do you mean, it's us?" Lance started to ask as he walked into the hall, but when he saw the Chibis, he fell silent. All that was left was Pietro, and his Chibi raced up the stairs. A moment later, the yell of shock that was expected came floating down the stairs.
