(Mystique and Wanda are now in the computer room. Toad enters carrying Princess along with a lot of cat supplies. He has numerous scratches and bite marks all over his body.)
Toad: I'm home!
Mystique: I see you've gotten all the stuff.
Toad: Yeah! (He plops all of the items gently on the floor. Princess hisses and runs away.) What a pain! Who knew a cat could cost so much money! She needed six freaking shots today.
Wanda: (Holding back laughter upon noticing all the cuts on his face.) I don't suppose she was too happy about that.
Toad: (Shivering a little.) No…She was not…
(Flashback)
(The outside of the doctor's office is shown. Voices can be heard from behind the door.)
Toad: Now this won't hurt a bit. Just hold still and it'll all be over in a few—
(Princess begins making low growling noises.)
Toad: Aw! Don't worry, kitty. It's just a few shots is all!
Princess: RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!
Toad: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! Get her off me! GET HER OFF ME!
Doctor: FOR GOD SAKES, HOLD HER DOWN!
Toad: I'm trying! I'm trying!
Princess: RRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRR! (Hiss.)
Toad: OW!
Doctor: Will someone get this freaking cat a sedative!
(Things can now be heard breaking and shattering from behind the door. The requiem music from the intro to X-2 begins to play.)
Doctor: My God…
Toad: What? What!
Doctor: That type of music only plays when something really bad is going to happen! WE'RE DOOMED!
Toad: HIT THE DECK!
(BOOM!)
Doctor: What the hell did you feed this cat? Steroids!
Toad: It was just a bird I fed her! JUST A BIRD!
Doctor: My God, you fool!
Toad: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't know, Doc! I JUST DIDN'T KNOW!
(Toad begins to sob. The requiem music plays louder.)
(Flashback over.)
Toad: So, after giving Princess enough tranquilizers to take out a horse, we gave her the shots.
Wanda: You didn't get this cat from an animal shelter, did you.
(Laugh track.)
Toad: No, love, I did not.
(The laugh track gets louder.)
Mystique: Then where did you get her?
Toad: (Paranoid.) What's with all the bloody questions over here? Is this some sort of interrogation? Do I have the right to remain silent!
Wanda: (Raising an eyebrow.) Well aren't we defensive now.
Toad: Well I don't have to tell you a thing if I don't want to! You're not Magneto! Come on, kitty!
(Toad picks up Princess and leaves.)
Wanda: So…Now what?
Mystique: (Apathetically.) I don't know. Let's go watch The Notebook or something.
Wanda: Oh, I just love that movie! You go get the DVD and I'll make the popcorn!
(The door opens and in comes Pyro. He's wearing a blue jumpsuit, much like the ones a gas station employee would wear and he's covered with dirt and oil. He has a giant wrench in his hand.)
Wanda: And what have you been up to?
(Laugh track.)
Pyro: Me? …Nothing…
(Laugh track.)
Mystique: Don't play innocent boy on us! You can't pull it off anyway. Now talk! Why are you covered in oil and why do you have a wrench in your hand!
Pyro: Well…I got bored so I…updated the 'copter.
Wanda: Updated? What do you mean "updated!"
(Laugh track.)
Pyro: (Nervously.) Well…I repainted it…Cough. Hot pink! Cough … Capped the propellers in gold…and…
(From outside.)
Toad: Good Lord!
(Mystique, Wanda, and Pyro run to the garage area to meet Toad.)
Toad: What have you done!
(Laugh track.)
Pyro: I…
(Everyone stares intensely at him.)
Pyro: I…I pimped out the copter!
(Gasp!)
Wanda: How much did all this cost!
Pyro: Oh nothing. I stole most of the supplies.
Toad: Pink! Of all colors, why'd you choose pink!
(Pyro shrugs.)
Pyro: Well I say that we outta see this baby in action! Who's up for taking a spin?
(The Brotherhood members board the helicopter. Pyro is about to get into the pilot seat when Toad pushes him out again.)
Toad: No you don't!
Pyro: (Protesting.) Why not?
Toad: Because only Mystique and I know how to drive this thing! Are you a pilot?
Pyro: No, but neither are you! When did you ever get your license!
(Laugh track.)
Toad: I got it off of E-bay! But at least I know how to drive!
Pyro: Please, please, please, please, please! I'll be real gentle with her!
Toad: No.
Pyro: Mystique?
Mystique: No.
Pyro: You guys suck!
(Pyro storms over to a seat and buckles himself down next to Scarlet Witch. Mystique takes the pilot seat and Toad sits beside her with Princess in his lap.)
Mystique: Must you take that cat everywhere you go?
Toad: I'll have you know I've grown very attached to my kitty-witty!
(Toad nuzzles the cat in his arms. Princess gives him an appreciative purr.)
Mystique: Not too long ago you wanted to throw it out the helicopter.
Toad: Well, I spent a while with Princess and realized there's a lot to like about her. She keeps me company, she doesn't care what I look like, she doesn't mind the fact that I haven't bathed in weeks, she doesn't look at me funny while I'm eating…Yeah! Cats are great! I should have gotten one a long time ago!
(Wanda takes a long glance at Toad. Upon realizing how long she's been looking at him, she turns her head forward again and blushes.)
Wanda: (Thinking.) I've never known Toad to be this sensitive. It's almost…dare I say it…cute! Ugh! I've got to get my mind off of him and onto something else…
(Long, long pause.)
Wanda: (Still thinking.) Why did Pyro decide to paint the helicopter pink?
Pyro: Enough about the stupid cat! Could we just fly this thing already!
Toad: (Hugging Princess tightly to his chest.) Don't call her stupid!
(Mystique switches on the controls and the helicopter lifts off into the air.)
Toad: Well…It mainly feels like the same old helicopter…except for the outside part that is.
Pyro: Well if you and Mystique would have let me drive it I could have shown you the new installment I made!
All except Pyro: New installment!
(Just then, the X-Jet appears flying alongside the helicopter.)
Toad: X-Geeks…
(Pyro unbuckles his seatbelt and runs to the cockpit where Mystique is. All the Brotherhood members are staring at the X-Jet almost as though they were challenging them.)
Pyro: Now's the time you show you what this helicopter really can do!
(Jean Grey and Storm are in the cockpit section of their jet. Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Rogue are in the back. They look out the window to see the Brotherhood helicopter bobbing up and down.)
Storm: I can't believe what I'm seeing…
Jean Grey: I don't even want to know what I'm seeing…
Rogue: Let's see…There's a hot pink helicopter… with gold propellers and hydraulics. And inside I can clearly see Mystique behind the controls. And Toad in the passenger's seat with…a fluffy white cat!
Nightcrawler: Ja. The Brotherhood has clearly lost its mind...
(Laugh track.)
Wolverine: Let's never speak of this ever again.
X-Men: Agreed…
Nightcrawler: Say, is it me, or did I just hear a laugh track playing?
