Four Hours Earlier
Remy and Rogue walked past Scott and Bobby. As Scott was on his way to his room, he was suspecious. The pair looked far too innocent in Scott's opinion, and Remy was his room mate. Scott rushed toward his room, thinking that clearly they had done something to his stuff. Bobby, realizing what Scott was worried about rushed past Scott's door to check his own room.
Scott not so quietly cursed Bobby as a coward as he entered the door. He braced himself for anything. He looked around ready to duck, and found nothing. Nothing at all was visibly wrong with the room. He moved carefully around the room, looking for the trap, but saw nothing. With a sigh, Scott started to sit on the edge of his bed before jumping up. What if they had done something to it? Instead he walked over to Remy's bed and sat down heavily, convinced Remy wouldn't break his own things.
As soon as Scott connected with the mattress, it came apart with a loud crash, spilling Scott onto the floor Scott cursed loudly as he struggled to pull his leg from under the mattress and figure out what had happen. He spied a wrench under the pillow and had just picked it up as Logan rushed into the room, claws drawn, with Remy and Rogue at his heels.
To Logan the scene appeared clear. Here sat the boy next to his room mate's now ruined bed with a wrench in hand. "Summer, what do you think you are doing?!" Logan demanded.
"I-I, B-but I didn't do it, they did!" Scott sputtered indegnatly.
"Why would I break my own bed?" Remy demanded with a frown.
"To prank me!" Scott yelled, struggling to his feet. "You knew I would suspect my own things, so you messed up yours!"
"That's insane!" Remy yelled in return. " No one in their right mind would believe that."
Logan shook his head. "Rules are rules. Summers, fix LeBeau's bed. You have detention this afternoon with these two."
All three teens started to protest, but he replied. "No. You are not allowed to break other people's things, and you two are not allowed to play in the hallway. You know better, common areas only."
Logan walked out, not noticing the smirk on Remy's face meant only for Scott. Scott knew immediately what had happen, those two had intentionally gotten caught in the hallway just down from the room, so that Logan would hear the crash and come in just in time to think Scott had broken the bed.
Oh they were very cunning, thought Scott, but I'm not finished with them yet. Oh no, they will not get away with this one. Remy may have won this round, but the war was far from over!
Kitty, meanwhile, was holding a secret meeting in the last room anyone would suspect and look for them in. The upstairs library. A room reserved for homework, and reflected it. The library downstairs contained books of every sort, but up here the stacks were filled with text and research books. None of the students ever came in here just to relax, or hold a secret meeting.
Amara, Kurt, Jubilee, Ray, Poitr, John and Wanda were all in agreement to help. Bobby and Scott had never arrived, but judging by the crashing and screaming from the boys' dorms, they were unlikey to. None of the other students wanted any part of this prank war, and had retreated to the rec room to watch movies.
They had just started to lay out their plans, when Charles and Erik, followed by the rest of the reluctant children, came in. " It is so nice to see you children hard at work with no prompting." Charles said as Jean, Jamie, Rhane, and Bobby sat down. Bobby had been on his way when he was intercepted by Erik.
"Oh well, we were just finishing up." Kurt said, as the teens started to gather their reports they had been using as a cover story.
"Nonsense. We are here to help you." Erik replied, sitting down next to Jubilee, and noting that she had only gotten as far as her name.
The kids all groaned, but sat back down, before Kitty who realized that Remy and Rogue were missing, offered to go get the others.
"Scott is occupied, and Remy is working with Victor. Rogue had kindly informed us of your need for help, since she had already finished her report." Charles said.
The kids all frowned and wondered what Rogue would set up while they were all stuck in the library. Jean suspected that Rogue was just as far behind as the rest of them, but knew better than to say something about it.
Remy, meanwhile, was obediently sitting next to Victor while Victor grumbled and started lunch. Remy had been drafted to help so that he would stay out of trouble. Remy, like Rogue, had finished the report already. They had finished early because of a fluke. Everyone else at the institute had been sick the week the report was assigned, and somehow among the very large pile of homework they brought to the others the report assignment was lost. Remy later found it in his locker, but since he had finished it, he threw it away completely forgetting the others didn't know about it.
He may have remembered, but he had been distracted when John came up and told him Buckethead had come to pick them up. Remy had spent a grueling five minutes fighting both the urge to repeat the nickname and the urge to strangle John for using it again. Then Rogue had walked up and reminded him that they had planned to escape to the arcade to spend their allowance on the newest game.
It wasn't until Friday when the reminder was posted that the report was due on Monday that he remembered again, however before he could say anything Scott dramatically fell to his knees ranting about colleges, which reminded Remy of the time he accidentally sat on Scott's backpack. After that Remy decided to pretend that it was the first he'd heard of it as well, and encouraged Rogue to do the same.
Then, as was typical of them, they hid out all week end pretending to work on the assignment to avoid the danger room, while playing video games on mute. It had been a fun week end as far as Remy was concerned.
