AN: Wow this story not doing to bad…interesting and here I was thinking it would be total disaster...
CHAP3: Day One, Hide & Seek
4:30 IN THE MORNING…………
"I'm not sure about this?"
Tabitha smiled nervously and began climbing the wooden ladder, "What's not to be sure about?"
Physlocke's eyes widened as they shifted from the super-high-dangerous-nearly broken ladder to the blond haired daredevil. "You gotta be kidding me."
"…We've been over this." Tabitha sighed.
"What do you mean we've been over this, look at it luv, what the hell's keeping this thing together?"
Tabitha glared at Betsy, trying to keep a straight face. She to was scared and was on the bridge of yelling out help but there were only 5 more steps to go. But, five more steps was a lot to someone who handed over their life to a ladder…literally. She sighed again. The things she did for the world.
"C'mon Betsy. Don't worry, it's not even that bad."
"To hell it's not, why did we have to live in a mansion?"
"..Um…were lucky I guess…" Tabitha rolled her eyes reaching her destination. Grabbing a screw driver out of a random pocket she unscrewed all the screws and quickly climbed into the air vent. Looking down at Betsy she yelled, "GET UP HERE ALREADY!"
" NO WAY!"
"OH C'MON WHERES YOUR SENSE OF ADVENTURE!"
"DOWN HERE WITH ME AND MY VERY ALIVE BODY STILL MIRACOUSLY WAITING TO GAIN THE POWER OF FLIGHT!"
Tabitha groaned and threw her shoe at her. "GET UP HERE NOW!
"OWWW! OK! What a pain in the ass..." Pyslocke trailed off climbing up the ladder. She closed her eyes and chanted 'left foot right foot' and before she knew it, she was at the top.
Tabitha helped her friend into the air vent and pulled her into a hug. "I'm so proud of you."
Betsy pried her arms off and fixed her hair, "What now?"
Tabitha rolled her eyes, "Go straight…where else?"
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Tabitha, turn it off." Rogue mumbled half asleep.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Please….."
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Rogue tilted her head to Physlocke's side of the room. "Betsy, can you turn it off…."
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Rogue's body shot up out of bed, "Are ya people even in here?" Scanning the room she was surprised not to find either one of them sleeping in their beds, "Hmm…musta left earlier."
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Shut…up." Rogue sighed.
Pulling her self up out of bed she walked to the alarm clock lazily almost falling down in the process. Her vision was very blurry; squinting her eyes she could barely evenmake out what the few bright numbers read. " 6:00...HA! Ah don't care whatthey say but that's way to damn early for anyone ta wake up. Wonda where they are?" she asked her self, unplugging the noisy appliance.
Leaving the room she tried recalling the events from the past day. 'First ah had a fight with Pyro…..which I oddly remember clearly… then afta that ah think ah went to school… Tabitha…Cheerleaders…do ah even want ta know….Betsy…We had a………a……..THE BET!" mentally screaming to herself she started walking slower. How could she forget? (not meant to rhyme.)
"What am ah goin' ta do, what am ah goin' ta do. Ah'll jus' avoid him completely today. Yeah, that could work. The later ah become his girlfriend the better."
Satisfied with her plan Rogue brought up her pace and turned the corner, 'Speak of the devil...'
Remy was walking straight towards her and their was nothing she could do about it. '...take a deep breath; just walk past him casually n' avoid all eye contact as much as possible, K' ah can do this..'
All the southern gal wanted was to pass Remy then she would be free. After that all she needed to do was run into the recroom and sprint straight to the kitchen. But unfortunately that wouldn't happen.
"Good mornin', cherie."
"…………."
"Is somethin' wrong?"
"…………."
"Are you ok?" He asked concerned as he watched her sneak past him silently.
Groaning he followed the beauty. "Cherie, why are y' ignorin' me?"
"………….."
Getting a little frustrated he grabbed her elbow gently, "Oh c'mon, what did Remy do?"
Rogue was about to answer but felt a strong arm wrap around her shoulders. "Is this strange man bothering you sheila?"
Rogue was hesitant to nod, "Ummmmm—Ah.."
"Of course he is, I think we should leave…." Pyro silenced her.
"Gambit grabbed Pyro's arms, "Wait jus' a—"
"Excuse me mate you have the right to remain silent."
"But..."
"Everything and anything you say will be used against you in a court of law…"
"What?"
"Serve and Protect that's what we do. Now I'll be leading the beautiful lady far away from the likes of you!" he said pulling the petite girl into the recroom. Not about to argue at the opportunity before her, she followed him willingly leaving and over raged and confused Gambit behind in the hall.
"Bastard." HE was going to make him lose the bet and HE was going to turn Rogue against him. Well not on HIS watch—
CRASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (Don't you just love my sound affects)
"What the hell..Tabitha. Betsy. What are y' femmes doin'?" He said referring to the large whole in the ceiling.
Not noticing him Tabitha dusted herself off. "Dammit…whose bright idea was to hide in the air vent anyways?"
"YOURS YOU IDIOT! I knew this was going to happen! Didn't I tell you this would happen?" Pyslocke yelled waving her hands in the air.
"Well how else were we going to spy on….oh… hi Remy!" Tabitha smiled innocently, "We didn't even know that you were there."
"Don' tink dats de problem at de moment, are y' femmes ok?" Remy said eyes still wide from what he'd seen.
"Of course we are."
"Are y' sure?"
"Yeah were perfect."
"If y' say so, ah'm goin' t' tell Hank anyways, be right back!"
Tabitha sighed and dreamily watched the Cajun run away.
But on the other hand…
Physlocke looked at the crazy blond angrily. "Are you nuts we can't let anyone find out about this bet, especially him. You need to stay in better control. Learn how to keep that big mouth of yours shut!"
"What! I am in control! Plus that's beside the point! Did you see what Pyro did! He's has to pay, for ruining our plan like that! What are we going to do!"
Pyslocke scratched her chin, " I think I have an idea.."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
20 MINUTES LATER…PROFFESOR XAVIER'S OFFICE…
"What you girls did was foolish and unnecessary!"
Tabitha and Physlocke slumped down in their seats lower. It was a shame he couldn't just whack them and get it over with.
"It will cost me to repair the damage you two caused, I'm extremely ashamed. Do you know how many—"
"Can you let us explain!" Tabitha said interrupting him. He sighed but nodded his head.
"Umm well how bout you explain it Betsy…My brain wasn't fully awake during the whole thing."
"No I think you should explain Tabitha, half is more then none, I bumped my head on something flying through the air, I'm still trying to recover from the incident."
Tabitha sighed looking at her uncovered foot. Curse her shoe! "Alright umm well me and Betsy decided to play hide and seek! Yup and then I decided to hide in the air vent, but I'm guessing since it's a common sense thing and probably because she telepathic SHE cheated! She saw the ladder I climbed up to reach the air vent and decided to see where it lead to even though she already knew I was there. So then finding me eventually we started hearing this squeaky sound and soon we find out it was termites. THEEEEN we tried all we could to get out of the air vent but It was useless because we were lost. In a matter of 5 minutes the termites made a hole in the ceiling, Remy found us and here we are."
"I highly doubt that happened, and I highly DOUBT that you woke up to play a childish game at 4:30 in the morning..but I guess your excuse is good enough, your dismissed…"
Walking out the door the two realized something:
How in the world did the Professor know they were up at 4:30….
"…he knows…" They both whispered.
