A/N: Er . . . yeah . . .um . . . the story takes a very strange twist here . . . please don't ask.

*~*~*~

Once they were back at the mansion, the X-Men stared awkwardly at their Chibis. But the Brotherhood and Acolytes (who were there as well – no, I don't know why either) were having fun with theirs.

Especially Pyro. He and Chibi-Pyro were burning leaves.

But Jean was having a fit.

"The Professor is going to have a fit if he finds out!" screamed Jean frantically.

"Yah," agreed Kurt. "He vill."

"No, I won't," came the Professor's voice in everyone's heads. "Could you all please come to the library? Something strange is going on."

"Even us?" asked Chibi-Magneto.

"Yes," said Xavier.

The X-Men took off in their trademark X-Men way, which involved a lot of dashing.

Which in turn caused them to slide by the library, forcing them to double back.

Scott flung open the doors, nearly causing his Chibi to go flying.

"Hey!" said Chibi-Cyclops indignantly.

"Sorry," said Scott as he charged into the library, hand at the ready to lift his glasses if need be.

"Calm down, Scott," Xavier said, this time not telepathically.

Scott's hand dropped and Jean stepped up beside him.

"What is it, Professor?" asked Jean.

Chibi-Jean sniffed. "I already know because of my superhuman telepathy."

"Are you implying you're stronger than me?" Jean shot back.

Chibi-Jean grinned as she nodded.

"Why, you . . ." said Jean as she flew at her smaller counterpart.

All the other mutants backed away quickly and graciously turned their backs on the fight.

"So what is it?" asked Lance.

"Can I cause an earthquake?" asked Chibi-Avalanche excitedly. "I've got the perfect formula ready for a 9.9 EQ."

"No!" screamed everyone, except Lance, who was thinking thoughtfully.

"You'll have to give me the formula sometime," said Lance. Chibi-Avalanche nodded happily.

"It's –" began Xavier.

"What?" shouted the mutants.

"It's –" tried Xavier again.

"What?" shouted the mutants.

"It's –" began Xavier hopelessly.

"What?" shouted the mutants.

"THE LIBRARY!" screamed Xavier, now fully irked.

Invader Zim marched through the library with a Kill-O-Zap gun, shot the Professor several times for daring to use the word 'irked' in his narration as an adjective, and then proceeded to take any books he could find on aliens.

"These are all LIES!" he screeched before marching back out the door.

There was silence from all present for a few minutes.

"Did I just see-" began Kurt.

"No," said Scott firmly. "We didn't see any of what just happened."

The others nodded agreeably.

Kurt shrugged. He was willing to accept that.

Well, most of the others nodded agreeably. Colossus and his Chibi were excited. They happened to love Zim as much as anime and were in a corner talking about the fanfiction they could write about what they'd just seen and then post it.

The reviews would be stupendous!

The Professor, who had been slumped over in his chair with several burn marks on his bald head, suddenly sprang back to life with the scars rapidly fading.

"The library!" he screamed again, just for emphasis.

They waited.

"There's something in there!" he said, pointing a shaky finger in the direction of some bookcases, where they could just make out a shadowy figure lurking around the section on marine wildlife.

They sprang into action.

Jean and Chibi-Jean stopped fighting and floated up in the air, Scott and Chibi-Cyclops skulked around to the left side, Kitty and Chibi-Shadowcat went through the floor, Kurt and Chibi-Nighty bamfed away, and everyone else merely spread out.

They weren't expecting what they found.

"A fish tank?" they all asked confusedly.

"Duh!" said Shadowy Figure™, who was at the moment inside the fish tank, communing with a sea turtle. "Meet Crush!"

"From Finding Nemo!" shouted Amara from the back of the crowd. Yes, she had just found her Chibi and they'd gone to the library to join up with the other Chibi people.

"Yea!" Shadowy said, giving Amara the thumbs up.

"How can you talk to us when you're in the water?" asked Bobby.

"I'm part mermaid," answered Shadowy.

Then she stuck her tongue out at him.

The mutants gasped. What an insult!

Shadowy jumped out of the fish tank, waved at the sea turtle (who also waved back), and snapped her fingers. The tank disappeared.

The mutants glared.

"AWWWWWW!" screamed Shadowy, rushing forward and scooping up a Chibi. "You're so CUTE!"

I'll bet you're expecting it to be Chibi-Nighty, Chibi-Beast, or Chibi-Pyro, right?

Wrong.

"You're like a mini Gandalf the White!!!" screeched Shadowy happily, squeezing the life outta the Chibi. "Well, without the beard . . . staff . . . big nose . . and fancy clothes, of course."

"Can't . . . breathe. . ." Chibi-Magneto wheezed. He paused. "Again."

Shadowy suddenly dropped Chibi-Magneto. She clapped her hands.

"So!" She said happily. "Who's up for a round of the Extended Edition of the Two Towers?"

Approximately thirty-seven hands went up immediately, most of which belonged to the Chibis.

*~*~*~

Meanwhile, Pietro and Chibi-Pietro were continuing to try and outrace each other, running around the globe so quickly that it eventually caught the attention of the Powerpuff Girls, who were trying to fly faster than they could run, and the Flash, who was beginning to get very angry that he was being matched in a race.

Pietro was very pleased with this new knowledge, but still resolved to beat Flash.

Chibi-Quicksilver was determined to beat them both.

*~*~*~

And so, once the mutants found out that their Chibis were Lord of the Rings fans, light bulbs went on above their heads.

Chibi-Wolvie ran in.

"Yay!" he exclaimed. "I've been wanting to see this!"

"We're watching Pirates of the Caribbean next," put in Shadowy. She held up a DVD. "Ransacked the warehouse they were keeping 'em in and got it two weeks early." She beamed.

Everyone clapped happily, even though they'd seen it in the theater the day before, even though there was no way that could have happened. Hey, can't tire of a good movie, right? ^^

They were all happy, watching the movies for the rest of the night, except for those who may not have liked them. They were promptly kicked out by Shadowy, who literally booted them out the door.

She happened to be very protective of the fandoms that she loves. Much like the Authoress, whom she is in no way based on. ;P

*~*~*~
