Hello! As always thank you for your time. Reviews of all kinds are appreciated and ideas are fantastic.
Okay, I know this chapter isn't exactly the greatest, but it sets things up for the next chapter.
Hopefully you'll still get a couple of laughs out of this anyway.
Disclaimer: I still don't own anything. But I can wish.
)BROTHERHOOD(
Logan's death threat had been reason enough for Kurt to evacuate the vehicle. He now found himself in a compromised position in the Brotherhood-mobile directly between Wanda and Pietro. And to make things worse Kurt had teleported just as Wanda had made to hit Pietro.
"Ahh! Don't hurt me!" Kurt yelped and Bamphed into the seat next to Toad causing Wanda's fist hit its original target.
"Yo, Kurt. What are you doin' here? I thought you were with Rogue and them," Todd said.
"It's a long story," Kurt replied.
"Does it involve Gambit exploding and Logan threatening to kill you?" John asked in a smart-Alec-y voice.
"How did you know zat?" Kurt asked.
John's jaw dropped. "I was jokin' mate," he said, "did Gambit really explode?"
"I don't know. I bamphed before zhere vas time to find out," Kurt replied.
"Smart move," Pietro gasped from the pretzel-like shape his loving sister had tied him into.
"I didn't know you vere zat flexible," Kurt commented.
"I didn't know my butt was that big," Pietro replied.
"That's gotta hurt," Fred said.
"No, it's comfortable!" Pietro snapped sarcastically.
"In that case, next time we can stuff you in the luggage, since it's comfortable," Lance said.
"No!" Pietro gasped/yelled.
)X-Goobers(
When they arrived at the hotel Kurt rejoined the X-Men.
It was quite obvious that the previous nights' events had, had an effect on Logan since he put the Brotherhood on another level.
"I claim one of the beds," Scott informed since the rules seemed to be claim it or lose it.
"I get de other," Remy said, running toward said furniture.
"I don't think so, Gumbo," Logan said, grabbing the back of Remy's trench-coat and dropping a sleeping bag in the Cajun's arms. "This bed is mine."
"Rats," Remy cursed.
In the following minutes showers were taken, sleeping bags were tossed haphazardly in the floor, pizzas were ordered, and card games were played.
"You cheated!" Bobby said to Remy as, yet again Remy won go-fish.
"Don' be ridiculous. Remy did not cheat," Remy argued.
"I know good and well that there aren't seven sword fish," Bobby said.
"How'd dat happen? Remy only put two extra in," Remy stated, furrowing his eyebrows.
Bobby and Remy turned to the only other player, Kurt.
"Vhat? I never could vin an honest game ov go-fish," Kurt said sheepishly.
When the pizza arrived at twelve ten a.m. it was divided between the rooms and each group ate separately from the other.
"Alright. Last night we had to suffer through the Brotherhood, right?" Logan said.
"Yeah," Bobby agreed.
"Well tonight I say we get our revenge," Logan said with a demonic smile.
"Um, Logan. You're supposed to be an example. I don't think you should be encouraging
misbe-" Scott stopped in mid sentence at the glares he received.
"Pranks?" Remy asked.
"Pranks," Logan said with a nod.
"Remy in," Remy said.
"Mhuh to," Bobby said around a large piece of pizza.
"Zo am I," Kurt said.
Scott sat in uncomfortable silence for a minute.
"I get Lance," he said, finally.
)X-Female mischief(
12:12 a.m. Location: X-Girls' bedroom, third floor, Holiday Inn Express.
"Okay girls, just for fun, what do you say we pull a few pranks on the guys?" Kitty asked mischievously.
"Sounds good. But how are we gonna do anything if they're in the room?" Rogue asked.
"Earlier Logan mentioned pulling some pranks on the Brotherhood boys. So if they're on another floor we should have plenty of time," Kitty said.
"Since when were you an evil mastermind prankster?" Jubilee asked.
"It's a difficult job, but somebody has to do it," Kitty said dramatically.
)+Duct tape?+(
1:17 a.m. Location: X-Boys' bedroom, third floor, Holiday Inn Express.
"Duct tape?" Logan asked.
"Check," Bobby said, holding up two rolls.
"Makeup?"
"Check," Remy said, holding up the bag he had 'borrowed' from Kitty.
"Rubber spider?"
"Check."
"Cheese whiz?"
"Check."
"Cling wrap?"
"Check."
"Secret weapons?"
"Check,"
"Let's go," Logan said. Just for effect-and the sake of a bet-Logan was wearing black U.S. military fatigues and face paint.
1:20 a.m. Location: Brotherhood boys' bedroom, fifth floor, Holiday Inn Express(repeated for consistency).
The X-Boys carefully took to their assorted tasks. Remy was quite pleased to see the simplicity of the prank he was going to pull. His job had been made all the simpler by the style of sleeping bag John was using; Mummy bag.
Remy started walking toward John but froze in his place when the Aussie sat up and stared at him.
"Gambit! What the heck are you doin' in here?" John asked angrily.
"I, uh . . . " Remy's mind started working in overdrive trying to come up with an excuse.
"You're in league with the wallaby aren't you? You're here to steal my lighter an-" John fell back on his pillow, rolled over and started talking into it.
"Whew," Remy exhaled and continued his job.
)SNEAK(
1:24 a.m. Location: X-Boys' bedroom, third floor, Holiday Inn Express.
"You only need to sew up one leg," Jubilee guided Jean who was working hastily on Remy's pants.
"Hey Kitty, can you pass the itchin' powder?" Rogue asked as she opened Logan's duffel bag.
"Here you go," Kitty said, handing a can to Rogue and returning to her mission of salting Scott's sheets and setting his watch fourteen minutes off.
"I'll take care of the bathroom," Renee said, walking toward it with a package of hair-dye, a canister of glitter, and a small, unmarked box in her arms.
"Where's the petroleum jelly?" Jubilee asked, holding up one of Bobby's sneakers.
"Here," Rogue got into the 'bag of tricks' and handed Jubilee a plastic jar.
"Thanks," Jubilee said.
Kitty delved into Scott's neatly packed bag and replaced every white T-shirt he had and all but one sock with various neon-colored ones.
Rogue found Logan's cell phone and changed the ring tones to . . .
When they were finished cleaning up the crime scene the girls looked around in satisfaction.
"Only one thing left to do to keep Logan off the trail," Kitty said and sprayed the room with Oust.
"Wait," Rogue said. She walked over to Remy's sleeping bag and pulled something out from under his pillow which she quickly hid.
"What's that?" Kitty asked.
"You'll find out later," Rogue replied in a conspiratorial way.
) Sneaks (
1:26 a.m. Location: Hallway outside the X-Girls' bedroom, third floor, Holiday Inn Express.
"So, what are we going to do?" Tabitha asked Wanda as she picked the electronic lock and swung the door open.
"Just watch," Wanda said and entered the room.
After just a couple of moments of working on her evil scheme Wanda exited the room.
"That was it?" Tabitha asked in confusion as they headed back to their room.
"Think about it. This is going to drive them nuts. It's not like they can squeal to Logan because he'll want an explanation about why they weren't in their room," Wanda said.
"And they're going to go crazy 'cause we-" Tabitha said but Wanda put a hand over her mouth.
"Shh, I think I hear someone coming."
