Saraneth the Strong: Ehem….. :Adjusts glasses, and directs Saraneth's attention to the diagram on the blackboard: A Keg Stand is a college right of passage which a student is required to go through as many times as possible during their time there. It entails doing a hand stand on top of a keg of beer with the nozzle in their mouth. While on the keg, they must consume as much beer as they can before they get down. Any questions class?
Risty: Hehe, I would like to thank my good friend from college Lindsay who, among other things, could do Unassisted Keg Stands. I guess all those years of Gymnastics payed off.
Purity Black: I was at a Party last week where they were doing keg stands. I realized one thing. I'm getting too old to do keg stands.
DemonRogue13: Hehe Thanx
Raniatlw: I try, believe me I do.
After the chanting down the hall finally subsides, James glances over at Anna, and shakes his head at her. He turns around, and heads back into his office. "Send in Mr. Lehnsherr when he arrives." James says before closing the door behind him.
Anna plops down in the seat at her desk, and lets out a sigh. "That could have been really bad."
Anna lets out a giggle as a buzz from having several ounces of beer shot straight down her throat sets in. All her problems don't seem to be so bad anymore, but then again, she probably wouldn't be able to tell you what color her underwear she was wearing. Her cell phone starts to ring. She is too giddy to care about talking to anyone at the moment, so she sends the call straight to voicemail. She sits at her desk enjoying the happy feeling back to back keg stands had brought her, when Eric Lehnsherr walks into the waiting room.
"Good Morning" He says cheerfully. "I'm here to see….." Eric notices that Anna is staring off into space, and doesn't even notice him standing there.
Anna sits at her desk with a silly expression on her face. Eric leans over the desk, and tries to get her attention by waving his hands in front of her eyes. Anna finally notices Mr. Lehnsherr standing in front of her.
"Oh, Good Morning. Can I help…..A-hey, aren't you that guy from those Viagra Ads?"
Eric becomes slightly miffed. "Three Best Actor Emmy Awards, Two Tonys', a Screen Actor's Guild Award, a Best Actor Golden Globe, and an Academy Award nomination, and all that everyone remembers about my career is one Viagra commercial that I did!"
"Uhhh, and you are?"
"I'm Mr. Lehnsherr, I'm here to see James."
Anna turns in her chair to look at James's schedule on her computer. The sudden move causes her to get dizzy, and forces her to steady herself in her chair. "I'm sorry sir, it says here that he has a meeting with a Mr. Magneto right now."
"I AM MAGNETO!" Eric huffs.
"Really? Well, come to think about it, I've never really seen your face, you always wear that helmet when you're on the set."
Eric mumbles incoherently to himself. "Can I go into my meeting?"
Anna tries to get up from her seat, but stumbles and falls under her desk instead causing her break into a fit of giggles. Mr. Lehnsherr hears a cell phone ring from under the desk. Anna pops her head up from under her desk, and points towards the door to James's office.
"He's expecting you." Anna says between giggles.
Eric shakes his head, and walks towards James's office with a disapproving look on his face. He knocks on the door to James's office, then steps in, closing the door behind him.
James Walks across the office and shakes his hand. "Good Morning Mr. Lehnsherr."
"James, I told you its Eric."
James walks with Eric over to his desk. "Yes, Yes, I know."
Eric takes a seat across form James. "So, how's the wife and son?"
"Oh same as always. She calls me and says that some kid stole her purse last week."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I know what a hassle it is to have to cancel credit cards and such."
"Cancel the credit cards! The kid who stole the purse is spending less than she did. I wouldn't dream of canceling them." James breaks into laughter. "So what about you? How's Buffy?"
"You mean my next ex-wife Muffy."
"Yeah, I knew it was something like that. I hope you got a pre-nup this time."
"Of course, you think that after five marriages, that I wouldn't have one stapled to my forehead." Eric chuckles.
"Well, all joking aside, we do have some business to address today."
"Yes we do. I think that my character is being left behind on the show. I'm supposed to be the primary villain in the show, yet, I'm not even in half of the episodes."
Out in the waiting room, Anna shakes her head and pulls herself up from the floor. Her cell phone is still ringing, but Anna hits the voicemail key again to stop the ringing. Anna eventually climbs back into her chair. She leans back in her chair, and lets out a relieving sigh. She hadn't had anything to eat today, so the alcohol went straight to her head. She can begin to feel her head to throb as if someone was using her brain as a basketball. She leans forward, and rests her head on her desk. She was about to doze off when a sudden shrill rings in her ears. Anna snaps up from her desk to see Ororo standing in the doorway. She is wearing a pair of white dress slacks with a large brown stain on the front of it, and a leopard print sheer camisole top with a few strategically placed spots.
"Where is that no good, lying, cheating, stand me up in a shady motel, oh my wife doesn't understand me but I still love her and I want to try and work it out but lets screw around again, lasting only five minutes then falls asleep, COCK MONGREL!"
Anna jumps up from her desk, and heads Ororo off before she has a chance to break down the door to James's office. "Uh, Ms. Munroe, what can I do for you?"
"Don't patronize me! Where the hell is he!"
"Well, he's uh….. "
Ororo tries to head towards the door to James's office, but Anna steps in front of her.
"Uhh, He's in the middle of a meeting, let me see if he's almost done, and I'm sure that he'll have some time to talk to you."
Anna reaches over to buzz James over the intercom. Anna waits for James to answer, but Ororo tries to go into the office causing Anna to dive in front of the door to block Ororo's way.
The intercom on James's desk begins to buzz. James gives it a quick glance, then ignores it.
"Well, you're not supposed to," James says plainly. "half of your character's appeal is his unseen presence. He's like the puppet master controlling the action from behind the scenes."
"Yes I know, but could we do something about my exposure? People don't even recognize me…..Your secretary didn't even recognize me! With that damn bucket on my head, all people see are those glowing contact lenses that they fit me with."
"Again, that part of the character's appeal. You have to admit, the entire look of Magneto is pretty cool with the sound effects, the shadowed face, and the glowing eyes."
Meanwhile, in the waiting room, and irate Ororo is trying to get by Anna. "Get out of my way Anna. You of all people know what kind of a slime he is. Why are you trying to protect him?"
"I know that you're distraught, and if you would please calm down, I can explain what happened."
"What! Does he pay you to lie for him too?"
"Ms. Munroe, please….." Anna places her arm around Ororo, and walks her towards her desk.
Anna buzzes James again. This time James answers, and his voice can be heard over the intercom. "Not now Anna"
"But….. " Anna says before she is cut off. What shred of composure that Ororo had goes flying out the window at the sound of James's voice. She bolts towards the door, and bursts into the office with Anna in hot pursuit. James, in the meeting is completely oblivious to the impending headache that will soom be storming through the door.
"James….. I've won three Best Actor Emmy Awards, Two Tonys', a Screen Actor's Guild Award, a Best Actor Golden Globe, and an Academy Award nomination for Best supporting Actor. I'm on one of the hottest shows on television right now, and no one knows that I'm even in it! At best, people think that I'm just doing the voice over like that guy who did Darth Vader."
"Well, you were great in that Viagra commercial." James jokes.
"Yeah, did I mention that I fired my agent after that!" Eric says very annoyed.
"Well, what can I say….."
The door to James's office swings open and Ororo storms (A/N Hehe I made a Punny ) into the office with Anna chasing close behind. "Ms. Munroe, I'm sorry but….."
"YOU ASSHOLE!" Echos Ororo's voice throughout the office.
"James," Anna tries to explain. "I'm sorry, I tried to….. but….."
James stands up from his seat while Eric looks on quizzically. "Ms. Munroe, if you would please leave the office, I'm in the middle of a meeting."
"Ms. Munroe? Meeting!" Ororo walks up to James, and tries to slaps James across the face.
Anna rushes up, and holds a frantically crying Ororo back.
"I've been waiting at the motel since yesterday you Fucking Jerk!"
James grabs Ororo by the arms, and pulls her in close so that he can whisper in her ear. "Not now, you're making a scene! You're embarrassing me!"
Ororo pushes James away. "Making a scene! I'll show you a FUCKING scene!"
Anna steps in front of Ororo. "Ms. Munroe, please calm down."
"Still popular with the ladies I see James." Eric says chuckling.
"You're not helping." James gripes.
Ororo turns to Eric. "You know what this asshole did! He was screwing around on his wife with me for almost a year now, and with who knows who for how long before me. Then a week ago, he tells me that he wants to try and work things out with his wife for quote, the sake of his son. I'm like okay, that's fine. It was just a fling, we were having a little fun that's all. He wants to do what's best for his son….."
"What a nice guy….." Eric says patrionizingly.
"Yeah, that's what I thought. He wasn't like dumping me, he wanted to try and save his marriage. I can respect that."
Eric turns to James. "You are a saint among men." Eric says with a wry grin only to get a disgruntled look from James.
James grits his teeth. "Stop encouraging her!" He says beneath his breath.
"So, I think, okay…. Everything's cool. It was just a fling nothing more….."
"Uh Ms Munroe….." Says Anna.
"Then two days ago at my meeting, he starts things up with me again. So, I'm like, okay, that was just a minor slip. One final romp for old time sake. Then, he makes arrangements to meet me again yesterday."
"Arrangements? You called me!" James says getting looks from Anna and Eric.
"So, I'm waiting at the motel. He said that he was coming right over. Then, one hour passes. I'm like, okay, maybe he got held up at work. Three hours pass, I call the office, and no one is there. Its 10 O'clock at night, I call his cell phone, NO ANSWER!
At this time, I'm starting to get frantic. Maybe he was in an accident, maybe he was murdered in the street by a mad gunman, or maybe he was abducted by aliens….. I don't fucking know!"
James walks up to Ororo and tries to put his arm around her.
Ororo pushes him away. "Don't fucking touch me!" Ororo turns back towards Eric who is trying to hold in the laughter. "So I think, Okay, I'm exaggerating. My imagination is running wild, I need to calm down. So, I had a bottle of Champagne that I bought with me, so I open it up and pour myself a glass."
Anna tries calm Ororo down. "Ms Munroe, I think that you need to….."
"So an hour passes by, and I still haven't heard anything from him. I drank the bottle of Champagne, and clean out the minibar, so I walk to the liqueur store on the corner and buy a bottle of Jack and a liter of Coke. I'm sitting in the motel room, I spill the Coke all over myself. So I take off my blouse, and am now drinking Jack straight up since I don't have any Coke anymore."
"Ororo Please….." James whines.
"Shhhh, it's just getting good." Eric jibes.
James shoots a grinning Eric an evil death stare before turning his attention back to Ororo.
"So, at some point in the night, I pass out. The next thing I remember is the motel clerk is knocking on the door saying that it is check out time, and he asks if I want the room for another day. I look around the Room just in case James may have come during the night, but sure enough there is nothing. I check my phone, no messages."
"Ororo," James leans in close so that only she can hear him. "If you would just calm down, I can explain."
"Well, how about I explain to your wife how you've been screwing around behind her back for over a year, and don't try to deny it, I know that I wasn't the first or the only woman your were having an affair with!" Turns at storms out of the office.
"Ororo…." James chases Ororo out of the office.
Anna tries to stop James, but James pushes her out of the way, and chases after Ororo with Eric in close pursuit. The three of them follow Ororo out into the waiting room to find Victor Creed sitting quietly in the corner.
James catches up to Ororo in the waiting room."Ororo please, let's talk about this."
"Forget it, I am threw talking, you can go fuck yourself!" She says as she turns and walks out of the waiting room.
James tries to chase after her, but Anna stops him. "Let me take care of this." Anna's cell starts to ring again, she reaches into her pocket and stops the ringing. "You have to finish your meeting with Mr. Lehnsherr, and as you can see Victor Creed is waiting to meet with you."
"But….. "
"Go!" Anna points towards the office, then turns and chases after Ororo.
James turns to find Eric hunched over in the corner with tears in his eyes.
"Uh, is this a bad time?" Victor asks.
Eric can't hold it any longer, and breaks into a hysterical laughter.
"Victor, will you please wait for me in my office."
Victor looks at James, then at Eric, then to James again. Without saying a word, he nods his head, and does as he says.
James turns to Eric. "And you! You Jackass!"
Eric breaks into another fit of hysterical laughter. He hunches over with tears in his eyes, and rolls on the floor.
"Oh, shut the hell up you hyena, and get the hell out of here, I'll have your contract messengered to your new agent."
Eric slowly gets up and wipes the tears from his eyes. "Man, that was the funniest thing that I have ever witnessed." Tries to catch his breath. "I'll catch you later James."
Eric heads out of the office, when he hears James say something from behind him.
"OH SHIT!"
Eric turns around. "What?"
"I don't have a Pre-Nup!"
Eric breaks into another hysterical laughter. "I was wrong, THAT was the funniest thing I have ever witnessed!"
Anna catches up to Ororo down the hall. Ororo is waiting for the elevator. Tears are pouring from her eyes as she dials the phone number to James's house on her cell phone. Ororo is about to hit send when Anna snatches the phone from Ororo's hand.
"A-Hey, gimmie that!"
"Ms. Munroe please try to calm down. I know that he's a slimeball, but he isn't worth it."
Ororo looks at Anna for a split second, then hugs her, and buries her face between Anna's breasts. "I know, but….." Ororo says in a muffled voice. "He isn't worth the trouble."
Anna's cell phone starts to ring. She pulls it out of her pocket, and looks down at the caller id. Ororo continues to cry into Anna's breasts. Anna recognizes the number as one that belongs to one of the news magazines that she leaks stories to. She sends the call directly to her voicemail, and puts the phone back into her pocket.
Anna is slightly weirded out the current situation. "Uhh….. yeah….. he isn't worth the trouble."
Ororo looks up from Anna's bosom, and give a pathetic sniffle. "You know, Scott it right, you really are a good friend. If I were a lesbian, I'd definitely want to have a relationship with you."
Anna quickly takes a step back causing Ororo to fall to the floor. "Ha-what!"
Ororo looks up at Anna from the floor. "What's the matter?"
"What? Does everyone know that I'm a lesbian all of a sudden? How did you know I was a lesbian?" Anna gripes.
"Scott told me of course."
"WHAT! I'LL KILL HIM!" Anna's phone rings yet again. This time Anna answers the call long enough to yell into the receiver; "NOT NOW!" and hangs up then turns off the phone.
"What is the problem?" Ororo says as she picks herself up from the floor. "It's not like it's some big scandal."
"Who else knows?"
"Well, I'm pretty sure that James doesn't know, but pretty much the entire cast knows."
Anna hunches over and hides her face in her hands. "OH MY GOD! Wait! Even Kitty?"
Ororo ponders for a second. "yup, I'm pretty sure."
"Scott is so dead!"
Alright, before you all start writing reviews asking what the hell is up with all the calls Anna is getting, and who is calling her, and why. Let me just tell you that it has to do with the next big plot twist, so please just be patient.
