Five Hours Earlier
Bobby knew the wisest thing to do, when Remy and Rogue were after you, was to hide. They were scary apart, and terrifying together, however he hadn't eaten in over an hour, and he was hungry. He cautiously snuck down the halls, toward the kitchen. Again, everyone knew the most dangerous place to be when war had been declared on you by anyone in the house, was the kitchen. It was where the food was kept though, and he was pretty sure if he tried to wait, he would starve.
Hope care in the form of Scott and Kitty headed in the direction of the kitchen, because surely they wouldn't risk unnecessary casualties in their war. Bobby sped up to the others as they entered they kitchen.
He immediately realized his miscalculation as the three of them were coated with a gallon of honey, followed quickly by fifty pounds of stared gasping at Scott to his left, who was attempting to clear the honey off his glasses without removing them.
"Like, seriously?! You didn't even know if it was Iceboy!" Kitty yelled, as she wiped flour off of her face.
"Collateral damage!" Remy yelled from behind the island. "The friend of my enemy is my enemy!"
"We just walked in with him, we haven't so much as said hello." Scott said, giving up on his glasses after managing to wipe just enough to see directly in front of him.
"Suck it up, buttercup." Rogue said, poking her head up long enough to stick out her tongue.
Scott seized the opening and threw an egg from the counter next to him at the girl. The egg exploded on her face, dripping yoke down from her forehead as she ducked back down.
"That's it! This is war Mon ami!" Remy yelled without showing himself. "No one gets to throw stuff at my friend without answering to me!"
"You just threw flour and honey on Scott, who is your room matee and friend. How does that work?" Kitty said, still annoyed.
"Don' matter none, cause this was war!" Remy said as he reached out blindly in search of the paper towels on the island.
Scott calmly left the kitchen, and made his way to the foyer. He refused to get involved in this prank war. It was juvinale and unbecoming of a good leader. He knew, that's what the Professor had told him last fall over his war with Remy. He was going to rise above this It was just a little, okay a lot, of flour and honey, not the end of the world. No snake cakes were harmed in the making of this prank, he thought to himself as he steeped into the foyer.
A moment later, Scott found himself staring up at the ceiling, flat on his back. There was nothing dignafied about this. " That's it! Remy this is war.!" Scott screamed.
Scott was too busy trying to breathe properly again to notice Jubilee, Ray, and Rhane slipping away. They had been ignoring the rules all morning to try to decide if the rules were in place to protect them, as Professor Xavier claimed, or if they were just made to annoy them. Apparently, no marbles in the foyer fell into the first grouping.
They hid though, both because they didn't want to feel Scott's wrath, and partly because if one of the teachers came by, they would be forced to clean it up. In hindsight, trying to gage how many marbles it would take to fill the foyer was a bad idea. They had already emptied seven bags onto the floor when Scott walked in.
Kitty made her way upstairs via the second staircase. It was closer to her room than the main stairs, also she had heard Scott's yelling and realizing the foyer was booby-trapped. Kitty went straight to the girls' shower to try to clean herself off before it started to set.
Four shampooing later, Kitty was still trying to get all of the honey out of her hair. While she scrubbed, she tried to think of a plan to get to Rogue. She had started with loosening all of the bottle tops in the bathroom, so that it would dump everywhere when someone squeezed them, everything would come out.
This felt like a weak revenge, in light of going for a fifth shampooing resulted in her bottle dumping all over the shower stall. Rogue was probably clever enough to check the tops before using them too. She thought as she rinsed her hair one final time. The other girls may not be but as Remy said collateral damage.
As soon as she thought of the other girls, she knew what to do. Jubilee and Bobby had been declared prank champions last week when they cable was out for most of the day, or an hour as Logan claimed, but it felt like a whole year for most of them. She would ask those two to help with this plan.
Excitedly, Kitty quickly dressed, not bothering to redo her hair, and ran down the hall to talk to Jubilee. "You realize of course."Jubilee said after agreeing. "Remy and Rogue were not involved in that war."
" I know. Like they hardly ever get involved in the pranks, they're far too busy being insane." Kitty grumbled.
It was true. Remy and Rogue usually spent their free time playing video games, reading, or planning their zombie-preparedness plans and supply list. For some reason Logan was fine with them preparing like that. However, whenever they got involved, someone should stay very still, and if both were involved... hide as far away as possible.
