SHOUT-OUTS:
malciah: That's what we're about to find out...
Halfmetal: Well Spooner, just do it behind Lilwfy's back. Anyway, it's nice to know that there are other muses beginning to stand up for their rights to be equal to writers!
DISCLAIMER: MUSES UNITE! Even if we don't own the story either.
Jet: Okay, Joette. Where are you?
Joette: (Appears in a flash of light and lavender-scented smoke.) About BEEP time! You realize that school's going to start soon? Won't be able to help you much then, will I?
Jet: (Picks up Socki-Yoki.) Whatever. Can we start now?
Joette: Are you sure you want to do it this way?
Jet: You suggested it. Anyway?
Joette: Fine, here it goes. (Whacks computers screen with her wand. Hard. )
Computer: (Turns pink, and starts emitting more lavender-scented smoke. Little hearts, butterflies, and flowers fly out of it at the speed of bullets from a machine gun. Then a round pink cloud-like thing appears in front of it.)
Joette: Just step into the BEEP portal. (flutters wings mischievously.)
Jet: That was a rather mischievous flutter.
Joette: How would you know?
Jet: (Wings come out) Duh.(Shrugs, then flies through the mystical portal.)
Joette: Hah.
It was early; about 2:30 AM. Logan woke up with a start to a scent that he hadn't encountered at the institute before.
Rabbit.
Jet perched on a tree, draped Socki-Yoki over a nearby branch, then surveyed her surroundings. It was still dark; she assumed that this was around the point that Chaotic Dreamer had left off. She considered flying to the kitchen window to listen to the rest of the conversation; but no, that was Chaotic Dreamer's story. Let her figure out what they said the hard way.
"So, Socki-Yoki. You're my muse. Now what?"
Socki-Yoki said nothing, as usual. Perhaps sock monkeys weren't really meant to be muses.
Jet flapped her wings restlessly, then noticed movement in one of the Institutes's windows. Wolverine was looking at her in total bewilderment.
Jet flew to the window sill.
"What, haven't you seen a flying rabbit before?" She asked loudly through the glass.
Wolverine reacted... violently. He screeched, and broke through the glass with his claws. Jet flew away quickly, her sensitive ears wincing. Picking up the sock monkey, the rabbit took shelter in a bush at the ground, and grinned slightly as Logan began to scream like a girl.
"DRAGON BUNNY!" He shouted loudly, then went silent. Either Professor Xavier was trying to calm him down, he'd fainted, or he realized that people could hear him screaming.
"That was... interesting." Jet said, turning to Socki-Yoki. "I never thought this might be dangerous. I'll have to avoid him from now on. Of course, as fun as this is, how am I going to manage to get a plot this way?"
Socki-Yoki didn't say anything.
Joette: Back already?
Jet: I never thought people running and screaming could get old that fast.
Joette: (smirks)
Jet: What?
Joette: Well, I have a solution to your plot problem...
Jet: What?
Joette: (whispers in Jet's ear)
Jet: No way. There is no way on this planet that I would do that.
Joette: I'll give you until the next chapter of Star Bright comes out for you to make up your mind. (Disappears in a puff of rose scented smoke and the song 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams'.
Jet: There is no way I'd ever, ever, ever do that.
Socki-Yoki: (Is a sock monkey)
Next time: We discover what Joette's idea is, and just how far Jet is willing to go for Muse Rights. (Jet has decided that she needs a noble sounding excuse to write this.)
