CALIFORNIA

Wolverine's patience shortens as Sabertooth, Toad, and Blob pretend to be the Beach Boys, three-part harmony and all.

Sabertooth: If everybody had an ocean...

Toad and Blob: Ooooooooooooooooooooo!

Sabertooth: Across the U.S.A...

Toad and Blob: Ooooooooooooooooooooo!

Sabertooth: Then everybody'd be surfin'...

Toad and Blob: Ooooooooooooooooooooo!

Sabertooth: Like Califo-ni-a--

Wolverine: SHUT IT!

Everybody gives blank stares to Wolverine. They're silenced. Toad takes out his Gameboy and starts playing Tetris again. The music from the Gameboy is louder than the actual singing that went on a few seconds ago. Toad happily bobs his head and hums along with the music. Wolverine looks back and him. Toad gulps and turns it off. He looks out the window and notices all the palm trees.

Toad: Sighs. It's not everyday I see those! But it feels great when I do!

Blob: Honestly, I've really been enjoying this trip.

Toad smiles and nods.

Sabertooth: I wonder what Magneto could be missing this for...

Magneto is in his lair once again. He is sitting behind a cardboard stage with little curtains on the side. Mystique and Pyro are watching with anticipation for the show to start. Magneto brings both his hands onto the stage. He has a sock puppet of Wolverine and another of Juggernaut.

Magneto: In deep voice, vaguely resembling Juggernaut. Ha, ha, ha! I'm going to destroy your institute! But not before destroying everything else!

Magneto then holds up his Wolverine hand.

Magneto: In a high voice, sounding nothing like Wolverine's. You'll never get away with this!

Magneto moves around the Juggernaut hand.

Magneto: In deep voice again. Off course I'll get away with this! I'm the Juggernaut! I'm unstoppable!

Magneto lifts up the Juggernaut hand even higher, enveloping his Wolverine hand.

Magneto: High voice. Oh nooooooo! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeeee!

Mystique and Pyro clap.

Mystique: Yay!

Pyro: Again, again!

Meanwhile, Charles, Wolverine, Toad, Blob, and Sabertooth are already hitting the beach. Everybody is now wearing red speedos and running to music from the O.C. They all laugh as the wind blows their hair around. Charles is wearing a giant blond wig. They pass by a child and his mother.

Child: Mommy, why are those weird people running in slow motion?

Mother: Disturbed. I don't know, son...I just...don't know...

They pass by another group of people.

Random Guy: Put some clothes on!

Random Guy #2: Yeah! You could burn someone's eyes out!

Random Guy #3 frantically in circles.

Random Guy #3: Screaming. Too late! UGH! MY EYES!

Soon everyone is running around screaming. The group is totally oblivious of what is going on around them. Not until a good five laps around the entire beach do they decide to stop.

Wolverine: I've had enough running in slow-mo for one day. Now lets put our real suits on and go surfing!

Everybody smiles and runs off into the men's room to change. Wolverine, Charles, Sabertooth, Blob, and Toad all come out in one-piece surfer suits and brightly colored surf boards.

Toad: Punching his fists into his chest. Ah...The water beckons me!

And so they hit the waves...Blob tries to catch a wave, but only sinks to the bottom of the ocean upon standing on the surf board.

Blob:Hey! A starfish!

Wolverine has Charles on his back. Charles has his arms stretched on each side as the wave takes them.

Charles: I'm flying! I'm flying!

Wolverine: Now just pray that I don't drop you!

From the bottom of the ocean, Blob can see Sabertooth riding his surfboard above him. Blob grabs Sabertooth's leg to try and pull himself up but he gets dragged along with the surf board instead.

Sabertooth: Hey! Quit slowin' me down!

Blob: Just ride me to shore. I can't swim well.

Sabertooth: Sarcastically. Gee, I wonder why! No, I'm not gonna ride you to the shore!

Blob: Fine! You'll pay once I get out of this!

The Blob begins walking the bottom of the ocean. The only thing visible from the water is his black mo-hawk. Toad is enjoying his time surfing. He eventually catches sight of Blob's black mo-hawk and...

Toad: SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK!

Everybody runs out of the water in pure fright. Wolverine and Charles try to assist everyone to the shore. The life-guard then declares the beach off-limits. Sabertooth, Toad, Wolverine, and Charles are now on the shore.

Charles: Thank goodness no one was hurt!

Wolverine, Sabertooth, and Toad are trying to catch their breaths. It is then they see Blob walking to the shore.

Blob: Sabertooth! I can't believe you left me under there! I had to walk all the way back to the shore; no swimming, just walking! I hope you're happy now!

Everyone's mouths drop. Charles lets out a big, irritated sigh.

Charles: I'm going to pretend you just didn't say that...Come on. Lets just get ourselves over to the convention now. I'm already embarassed enough...
