Ummm...yeah. no one's reviewing, but I decided to put up the next chapter out of the goodness of my heart.


Todd Tolensky stood back and admired his work. For something he had made himself that sandcastle looked pretty good. If it wasn't for that stupid guy in the shades it would have looked a lot better.

'Stupid foo'," he thought to himself. Todd sighed looking at his little sandcastle that he was going to use to woo Wanda and get her to be his wife or at least his girlfriend, and a toothy smile spread across his face. He was pretty thirsty so he decided to get a soda. As he got closer to where Blob was lying, he glanced over at Lance, Pietro, and Tabitha who were playing volleyball, but Wanda was nowhere to be seen. He snickered to himself. There were two bikini-clad teenage girls playing with Pietro and Lance while Tabitha kept score. Todd kicked Blob and popped open a coke, taking a long slurp.

"Hey! I'm sleepin' here!" Blob yelled pulling the hat off his face and glaring at Toad.

"Yo, check out who the guys are playing with," Toad said, pointing a finger at where they were playing before taking another swig of his coke. Toad figured it'd take a minute for Fred's brain to process what he was pointing out, so he decided to go protect his work of art for Wanda, before the water washed it away. When he trudged back to the spot where his sandcastle once was, all he found was a mound of wet sand.

"Aww, man! That's weak, yo!" Toad yelled, kicking the water and attracting the glare of a nearby mother. For some reason he was mad at the guy in the shades too. He sure seemed familiar now that Toad thought about it. And wasn't there a girl with him? A girl with red hair. Scott and Jean. Toad groaned out in agony. The X-Men are here!

Kurt sighed, "Kitty, you can stop looking for that ball. It'z not here." Kitty was still looking for the volleyball, even after everyone else had given up. Roberto had gone to catch up with the guys in the water, Beast was talking to Mrs. Daniels and Ororo, and Rahne and Rogue were lying on towels. Rahne grabbed a bottle of water out of the cooler, while Rogue quietly watched a group of people playing volleyball. Kitty finally gave up and plopped down next to Rogue, crossing her arms and scowling.

"I was sure I packed that ball myself. Sure of it!" Kitty mumbled to herself.

"Have you seen Jubilee or Amara?" Rahne asked, her voice thick with her Scottish accent.

"No," Kitty answered, putting on a pair of oversized hot pink sunglasses, and relaxing.

"Ah have," Rogue said, not taking her eyes off the volleyball players. Rahne took a sip of water and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Vhere?"

"Raght over there," Rogue pointed out the volleyball players to her. It was Jubilee and Amara playing with Tabitha, Lance and Pietro. Kitty looked up and gasped, lifting up her sunglasses to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

"Whoa, like, since when have they been friends with the Brotherhood?"
