All the mutants were assembled in the common room, waiting for Anna's decision on who was playing what. Needless to say, none of them were very happy that they had to do another play during their break, but after Anna's plea about the orphans, they relented and agreed. Of course, Anna also had to bring out the pouts and threats, helped by the adults. So, nobody was very happy anyway unless you count Logan.
Anna: Right, here are the main parts. The three main characters- Anna will be played by Rogue-
Rogue: WHAT!
Anna: (ignoring Rogue's outburst) –and Francesco will be played by Kurt, and lastly, Gussie will be played by Pietro.
Scott: You're bringing in the LOSERHOOD!
Anna: Shut up, Scott. Besides, I think you've got to comfort Jean.
Scott: And why would that be? (Turns around and sees Jean's lip wobbling) Oh dear, dear, dear…
Anna: Right. On to the other parts. Jardek and Baba will be played by Professor X and Ororo, respectively.
Ororo: Wait, you mean we have to do this, too?
Anna: Yeah. You have to set an example for the kids, remember?
Ororo: You didn't mention this before!
Anna: I didn't? Well, I'm mentioning it now. The only adult that's not acting is Logan, and only because I couldn't find a character grouchy enough to suit him. Kitty, what are you doing to Rogue, incidentally?
Kitty: I'm holding her back so she doesn't like, attack you and try to exterminate you.
Anna: Oh. Ok. Hold her that way then.
Rogue: Mmff!
Anna: Okaay. Next. Christopher and Olga will be played by Scott and Jean.
Scott: Fine, whatever!
Anna: S. William will be played by Mr. McCoy…
Mr. McCoy: Um.
Anna: Cecil and Mabel…Ray and Amara!
Ray: What!
Amara: You have to be kidding me.
Sam: Since when do the Recruits ever do any acting?
Anna: They do now.
Sam: You're joking.
Anna: Oh, don't feel left out. You'll be playing the part of Wally, Sam. Roberto, Rahne! Attention!
Rahne: I don't think this is a good omen.
Anna: Your parts are… (Pauses) Hmm. I don't see any parts allotted for you.
Rahne & Roberto: Phew!
Anna: Oh, well. Oh, wait, there are blanks here! Mr. Wall and Mrs.Wall!
Roberto: Oh, no.
Bobby: It won't be that bad.
Anna: Glad you feel that way, Bobby. Cause your part is Jonathan and Jubilee is Priscilla.
Bobby: It is that bad.
Jubilee: Congratulations, big-mouth.
Anna: Wilf will be played by Lance…
Scott: WHAT!
Anna: (ignoring Scott pointedly) And Doreen is going to be played by Tabitha.
Scott: NOT AGAIN!
Anna: Miss DeVeane will be played by Kitty…
Kitty: Over my dead body, she is!
Anna: You do know I'm capable of singing you to pieces, right Kit?
Kitty: Well, when you put it that way…
Anna: Madame Scarletti is going to Mystique.
Logan: That's going too far.
Anna: Leave out of this, before I find a way to put you in the play somehow!
Logan: I think I'm going to the Danger Room to relax.
And finally, Maria, Madame Scarletti's helper will be played by…Wanda.
Scott: You're going to kill me.
Anna: Well, actually, that's a swell idea! Now I've done all the scripts for you ungrateful wretches, so go read em and our rehearsal's in the morning!
(Everyone stares at her)
Anna: NOW!
(Everyone scrambles for their respective rooms)
Anna: That's better. Now, I think I'll go join Logan in the Danger Room to relax.
