As I sure you already know, this is a work of complete fiction based on elements that are real. Yadda, yadda, blah, blah…whew glad that's over; and now the disclaimer. Of course, I don't own anything besides my character and the story's idea/plot/some events/etc…again, yadda, yadda, yadda. Please read and review as the continuation of this story depends on if people are liking it or/and have an interest in it. I'm taking the idea I had with a past story at not trying to fill out like 10 pages for each chapter, but to just put the idea down and post it no matter how short.
Pairing: Scott/Logan (Like duh :D) with maybe Colossus/Original character
Timeline: Post X2, leading into X3

Chapter Three: The Unexpected
"They have an amusement park out on a pier? Isn't that dangerous and aren't pier's tiny?!" That's me, always the logical one.
"Technically, most of the rides aren't on the pier anyway. Come on, it'd be fun to get out of the house and do something." Bobby smiled that smile of his and how could you refuse?
"I don't have any money…"
"Don't worry about, all you have to pay for admission and Pete agreed to pay for you." I didn't feel comfortable having someone I didn't know very well pay for me but getting out the house and having fun was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
After talking with the professor, it was agreed we could go so long two adults went with us. Rouge instantly pleaded with Logan to baby sit us and Bobby asked Miss Munro if she would but she had agreed to stay at the mansion to watch to kids. That left Mr. Summers and as far as I knew, he wasn't in the talkative mood much now-a-days but I figured I'd give it shot.
I found him the garage tinkering with his motorcycle. I'm not sure how long he had been working but it looked like he could use a break. "Mr. Summers?" He seemed to jump slightly before turning to look at me.
"Yes Haley?"
"Bobby, Rouge, Kitty, Piotr, and I want to go the amusement park on the pier tonight but we need another adult to go with us. Would you mind going with us?" He continued working on his bike before he stopped to clean his hands.
"I don't think I can; what about Ororo?" He was changing the subject; maybe he trying not to hurt my feelings...or he was hiding something.
"She can't go." Silence overtook the conversation. Scott seemed tired and worn out and not from just working on the bike. "Bad dreams?" The words had left my mouth before I knew I was saying them. He seemed to stand frozen for a second before moving back to his bike.
"Just a restless night is all." Could he be talking about the dream from last night? I decided to ask indirectly.
"Dreaming about someone calling for you?" The wrench in his hand fell to the ground and I could he hear him swallow the lump in his throat. "She keeps calling and you just seem to lose control, letting it all out?" He slowly turned to face me. I took in a deep breath. With those ruby glasses her wore, his face was always a mask. "I'm not a psychologist, but maybe getting out and enjoy yourself might help to ease your mind?" My guess was his silence meant he was thinking about it. After what I guessed was a minute, I turned and started to make my way back into the mansion.
"I'll be ready a few minutes." I turned to face him with surprise before a large smile broke out onto my face. I was just about to practically skip out of the garage when he spoke again. "Have you…told anyone about…the dreams?" I could tell this was going to be a touchy subject.
"No…I haven't." He slowly nodded his head before starting to clean up. I left the garage this time. I could tell he was in pain, but how I knew…I couldn't figure out.
The sun had already begun setting and the park was lit with the flashing and colorful lights you'd expect. Even though the sun had set, the lights lit of up the park as if the sun was high in the sky. After paying for admission, our first stop was the bummer cars. It was so exhilarating trying to smash each other into the wall and ganging up on each other.
Next, we hit the fun house. I didn't care for the mirror maze we had to work through because I kept running into them; I can be quite accident prone. Even though it'd seem childish that we all went down the slide at the end screaming, who really cares, we're having fun.
Not wanting to waste all our energy at once, we decided to get some cotton candy and ride the Ferris Wheel and use the height to decided where we wanted to go next. There's was enough room for all of us to fit comfortably inside one carriage and still have room between us. On our way to the top point, everyone was looking around and blurting out where we should go next and then trying to see where everyone else was pointing. I on the way down, I caught sight of Logan and Scott at a shooting range with bee bee gun rifles; I think they were having a 'my horse is bigger than your horse' contest. Boys with toys, I tell you want.
The blonde haired woman move through the crowd towards the line for Ferris Wheel. She held cotton candy in her hand was eating small pieces at a slow pace. A teen with short, wept back blondish hair and dark brown leather jacket took a place in line after her. His brown looked around in a bored stare.
All of the sudden, the Ferris Wheel ground to an apart halt. Murmurs began to spread among the crowd and become louder. While the crowd was distracted, the teen quickly moved to the controls. The crowd started to scream in terror as a large sprouts of fire seemed to ignite from the controls of the Ferris Wheel and an explosion was heard as the beam the wheel was on jerked forward. As the beam tilted, one of the carriages seemed to lurch forward on its own and a dark harried teen feel out. He was saved by a large man who held his hand and was pulling him back in. The same carriage lurched violently again and the teen fell the short distance to the ground below. The blonde haired woman quickly moved over to him and pretended to help him up but as soon as he was standing, she knocked him unconscious and tossed him over her shoulder. The women's eyes flashed yellow.
Mystique quickly made her way down the pier closely followed by Pyro to a speed boat where Magneto stood. As soon as the two were on board, the boat quickly moved away without anyone at the controls.
The Ferris Wheel jerked to a stop. Wondering what was happening, I peered over the edge to see if I could see the operator. Suddenly, large sprouts of fire shot up from the controls and I stumbled back. The carriage jerked forward violently and I felt myself lose my balance and tip over the edge. I thought I was going to fall when I felt Piotr's strong hand grab mine and start to pull me back up when the carriage jerked violently again and we both lost our grip.
Even though the fall was short, it was still far down enough that when I landed, my legs felt slightly tingly from the impact and I fell to my hands and knees. The next thing I knew, someone was helping me up but before I could thank them, I felt a sudden pressure on the back of my neck and the world went black.
Author's Note: Rejoyce, it's finally up, the 3rd chapter. My muse had quit on me and I just didn't know what to write but now with the 3rd chapter finally finished, writing the 4th chapter will (hopefully) be a breeze because the ending of this chapter helps set it up for me. I have classes every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday but if my muse can help me, then I'll be working on the 4th chapter. Remember, feedback is great encouragement.
