The Crash Landing
Amara's POV
So here I am on my way home thanks to three wonderful girls. I am so lucky to have met them. We are so different but we complete each other. I'm the down to earth person, in more ways then one. This altitude is really making me feel dizzy but I'm still feeling good. Tabitha was talking non stop trying to get my mind off the fact that I was a hundred or maybe more miles away form the ground. She was really sweet.
Tabitha: Can you believe that Bobby finally found the guts to ask Jubilee for a dance? I can't believe that guy. I mean he doesn't even sweat when he faces the Acolytes and then Apocalypse but when he has to ask a girl to dance he sweats like a dog.
Amara: He had a thing for Jubilee for a long time.
Tabitha: Well Roberto had the same problem with Rahne. Those guys are hopeless. I had a great idea though.
Amara: Really?
This should be interesting.
Tabitha: When we get back home I'm going to start a course for the new recruits on: How to date a fellow mutant.
Amara: That's a… brilliant!
She started to explain to me what her course would include but she lost me down the path. I am not that interesting in dating at the moment. One the other hand it was amusing to listen to Rogue and Kitty. These two either are best friends or at each other throats. Right now it was the later since Kitty kept on insisting to pilot the X-jet.
Kitty: Please Rogue! I'll do clean your room for a month.
Rogue: I am not that messy Kitty. You could clean your part of the room. Plus you still have the map.
Kitty: Navigating is boring.
Rogue: Stop giving me the look! ( the look as in the big puppy dog face)
Oh fine! But for 10 minutes. Ah need to go to the bathroom.
Kitty: thank you! I won't let you down.
Kitty was over excited because she started hugging Rogue. She was hugging her so hard that poor Rogue turned all purple in the face.
Rogue: Kitty let me go! Can't breath.
Kitty: Oups sorry ! I'm getting to pilot the x-jet!
The Acolytes
Pietro: Oh, great! We are going to die.
Pyro: Why is that mate?
Pietro: Because the annoying valley girl is piloting. She can't drive a car.
Colossus: Did Gambit return from the Bathroom?
All three looked concerned. They had to do something and fast or all their hard work was for nothing. With each second that past Rogue was getting closer and closer to discovering the truth. Her hand was on the handle. What could they do?
Pietro thought about grabbing Rogue, the tying her up and… wait if he gets ride of Rogue then Pryde would pilot the entire trip. Oh and they would discover them but that was less important. No! Next plan…. Thinking and thinking
Colossus ideas all involved getting seen and that could not do. He might make a big hole in the bathroom wall and get Gambit out of there. Too bad someone would notice it. Plus there was no time.
Pyro didn't even bother to think about the consequences of his act. Does he ever? He grabbed his lighter and with just a flick of it he set a little ball of fire next to Kitty's legs. To bad that she was to concentrate on flying that she didn't feel something burning near her legs. The fire burnt some of the wires.
They were probably something important because the next second the plane was spinning round and round. It was like one big mixer.
Pyro: Mission accomplished!
Pietro: You idiot! You burnt the guiding system.
Pyro: The what? Who cares I'm sure it can be fixed. At least Rogue didn't see Gambit.
Colossus: He has a point there mine comrades. Rogue has not reached her destination.
Gambit's POV
Gambit doesn't understand how he came to face the floor. One second I was playing with my cards the next I am hanging up side down. What is going one?
I remember Rogue to be a good driver. I tried to open the door and see what is going on but at that exact same time the plane turned again and this time my foot landed in the toilet seat ( let this stay between us). Try as I might but my foot was stuck.
Where is Colossus when you need him? I could blow it up, but Gambit thinks that would be a bad idea.
I almost got my foot out but the plane turned again and this time I was thrown at the door.
Somebody was on the other side and turning the door handle.
The girls
Kitty: ROGUE! I can't control it… I don't know what happened. I can't stop it spinning.
Amara: Are we dead yet? I
Tabitha: No. Hang in there.
Amara: Are we dead yet?
Tabitha: Look if we die I'll tell you. But we won't. Just hold tight and think you are …. Hand me that bag, please.
Amara: But it is mine.
Rogue has finally managed to get back at the pilot seat and was trying in vain to keep the plane in the air.
Rogue: We are going to crash! I can't lift it back up.
Kitty: Look there is land. Try to get it there.
Rogue: I'm trying. Come on.
Kitty: I swear Rogue it wasn't my fault.
Rogue: And who's fault was it then? Mine? I didn't even get to the bathroom
The Acolytes
Pietro and Colossus were casting Pyro their evil looks. This mission will take a little while longer. Stupid Pyro and his impulsivity.
Pyro: It looked like a good idea at the time.
Pietro: You are so lucky that this plane is spinning or I would….
Colossus: It is to late for that. Is Gambit still in there?
Pyro: I don't stay so much in the bathroom.
Pietro: Do us a favor and shut up!
Collosus: I am going to try and get Gambit before he really is discovered.
As Colossus approached the tower the plane began to tremble and all of them were on the ground. This is not a good sign. Another spin and they were facing the door. Let the plane shift again because the door could hold their body weight much longer.
Back to the Girls
They somehow managed to get to the island but the plane was falling a part. They needed to land and fast.
Kitty:Rogue, watch out for the trees!
Rogue: Ah see it!
Kitty: Tree !
Rogue: Ah see it!
Rogue made a 90 de grades turn and they avoid the crash with the unlucky tree.
Kitty: That was close! Rogue big stone in front!
Rogue: I can't turn the plane… we will have to go right through it. Kitty you have to phase us. You can do it! On three:
one the stone was getting closer and Amara and Tabitha were now hugging each other, two they heard some sounds from he back of the plane but it couldn't be more important that was happening right in front of them and three : NOW Kitty!
Kitty took a deep breath and concentrated hard… she had to do it.
And she did it!
Tabitha: We are alive!
Rogue: We have to land and see how we can fix the jet. I can make it to the opening. Hold tight everyone it's going to be a hard landing.
Rogue did her best but the crash landing was inevitable. She dodged a few trees but the last one was a direct hit.
Amara: Are we dead yet?
Tabby: Yes... I mean no!
Rogue: No one move! This tree is the only thing that is keeping us from falling in to the ocean.
Kitty: I feel like sneezing.
Rogue: Don't! KITTY!
Hap-chu ( she just sneezed)
For a second nothing happened and for a second they all thought that the worse has passed. They couldn't have been more wrong.
Kitty: Oh my god!
Tree trunk began to crack... everything was happening in slow motion and the plane was moving an inch by inch closer to the ocean.
Kitty: Rogue, before I die I have a confession to make.
Rogue: You are not going to die.
She didn't sound to sure.
Kitty: I was the one that threw away all your make up.
Rogue: WHAT?
The angry goth wanted to get Kitty and strangle her. Bad move!
The tree trunk broke in to two and the plane was falling into the ocean.
Was this the end?
An: In the next one the girls will finally realize that the have stowaway. Btw please REVIEW and tell me what you think? Did my days at staring at the wall and trying to study for some test paid of? I got good marks at tem but I got the idea and that was even more important.
