Chapter Two
Lance, Pietro, Steve and Todd quickly got ready. They were wearing black outfits, so they couldn't be seen that good. Quickly, they went to Lance's jeep, got in, and headed for the x-mansion. Steve was flying in the air, after a bad driving experience with Lance last week and the scary thing is they weren't even driving.
"I don't see why we're doing this after mid-night yo," Todd said.
"You know how those X-geeks stay up late," Pietro said," We don't want to be caught."
"And there is a fact, that that one guy, Logan I think it was, walked around at night," Lance said, while Pietro and Todd stared at him.
"Something happened," Pietro grinned," What did you do?"
"It's none of your business," Lance muttered.
"It's something to do with Kitty," Todd whispered.
Lance pushed on the brake, coming to a complete stop rather fast. Pietro nearly hit the window, while Todd fell out of his seat.
"You did that on purpose yo," Todd moaned, pulling himself back on the seat.
"Next time you'll keep your mouth shut," Lance said, but didn't start to drive.
"What's wrong?" Pietro asked.
"We'll walk from here," Lance said," Don't want them to hear us, just in case they are still awake."
They got out of the jeep and started walking down the road. It took them about ten minutes to get to the mansion.
"Now how do we get passed the alarm system?" Steve asked, folding his arms.
"You can fly stupid," Lance said," You'll just fly the horses over to us."
"Do I look that strong to you?" Steve asked, and Lance nodded his head." Well, I'm not. How about I fly one over at a time."
"Fine," Lance said," Start with Pietro, since he can run if the alarms go off."
Steve rolled his eyes, but grabbed Pietro hands and flew over the fence. Steve flew around the house, but quickly stopped in mid air.
"Why did you stop?" Pietro whispered.
"Someone is in the field," Steve whispered back.
Steve looked carefully, but couldn't tell who it was, so he flew back to the others. He flew back over the fence and almost dropped Pietro on Todd.
"Watch it," Pietro said, when he was safely on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Lance asked.
"Someone is in the field," Steve said.
"I've got it," Lance said," Fly me over there and I'll cause the ground to shake. Lets see if that can get them out of the field."
"I have a better idea," Pietro grinned, looking at Todd.
"What?" Todd asked, as Lance and Steve grinned too." This is not good, is it?"
"All you have to do is slime them," Pietro said," They won't know what hit them."
Sighing, Todd grabbed Steve's hands and Steve flew into the air, over the fence and to where the horses were. Setting Todd down, Steve flew back to the others. Todd quickly started looking for the person.' Who would be out with the horses?' Todd thought. He looked, but didn't see anyone. He finally looked into the small pen to see that two people were sitting down with a baby horse. One of them were rubbing it's stomach, while the other one was feeding it.
"Poor boy," The one rubbing it's stomach said," It was nice for like the Professor to let us take care of this horse."
"The only thing that's bad about it is that we have to come out nearly every hour to feed him," The one feeding him said.
Todd knew they were girls by their voices. He knew that one must of been Kitty, but he didn't know who the other one could be. He silently walked away from the barn and saw that the others were getting some horses. He quickly walked over to them.
"Did you do it?" Lance asked, tieing a rope around two horses.
"No," Todd said and Lance looked at him." The person is Kitty, but there is someone else with her."
"Two people," Pietro said," This is getting a little dangerous. Lets take the horses and get out of here."
"Before you do that," Someone behind them said," Why don't you tell us why you are taking our horses?"
The boys turned around to see Kitty, Kathy, Jean, and Rogue, none of them looked very happy.
"We can explain," Lance said, walking up to Kitty, who folded her arms.
"Then start explaining," Rogue said, taking off a glove," Or do we have to do this the hard way?"
"We need the horses," Pietro quickly said.
"Why?" Jean asked.
"Mystique needs money or she'll kick us out," Lance said.
"That's tough," Kitty said," You do know that all you had to do was ask if you wanted to borrow the horses or did you miss the sign?"
"What sign?" Todd asked, looking around.
"The sign on the front gate that said 'need to borrow or brake a horse for the county fair, just bring it here, we have plenty of room,' does that ring a bell?" Jean asked.
The boys looked at each other, then back at the girls.
"Well," Steve said," Can we borrow the horses?"
"You can't borrow the white one you've got," Jean said," You can borrow the brown one."
Steve let go of the white one and it quickly hid behind Rogue, who started to pet it with her gloved hand. The boys gathered the horses they needed and the girls helped them get out of the house without any problems.
"I can't believe we didn't notice the sign," Pietro said, as they put the horses into the pen.
"We were right next to the gate," Todd said.
"Lets just go to bed," Lance said," We have a busy day tomorrow."
The boys headed inside and went straight to bed, hopping that tomorrow would not come so soon.
