Road Trip with Cyclops and Jean Grey p10
Chapter 10
"Scott? What's going on? It's about after midnight." Jean yawned sleepily as Scott entered the room after a refreshing swim. Colossus followed, carrying his swim bag
"Ah, thought me and Colossus here would take a dip, eh buddy?" Scott grinned, nudging Colossus playfully
"Yep, oh and we had a few rounds at skee-ball also." Colossus added
"Well, it's good you two had fun. Now how 'bout getting out of those trunks and get some sleep, for goodness sakes. Besides Scott, you could use it, you've got some circles growing there." Jean noted
"What's this I hear about skee-ball all of a sudden?" Remy piped up, having woken up after hearing that topic
"Ugh..Remy, you're dreaming again. Go back to sleep." Rogue grumbled, wearing her night mask over her head
"Uh, Rogue…isn't that *my* night mask?" Scott asked rhetorically
"Uh…yeah." Rogue answered sheepishly
"Ah what the heck. You can borrow it." Scott added
"Ok." Rogue commented before settling down after Remy got up
"Ok, Scott, Kurt, Colossus…let's get our pizza order." Remy roared excitedly before doing the Indian mating call
"What in the world is going on here?! Have you guys gone nuts?!" Jean shrieked, covering her ears
"Ughh…hey guys, lemme come also. I placed a pepperoni with extra cheese order." Tabitha yawned, putting her coat on
"Oh no you don't!" Jean hissed before blocking the group's path. "Do you *want* to wind up in prison again?!" She snarled
"Ok, new plan. Red's coming so she can stand guard." Remy noted
"Gee, good idea." Colossus commented before noticing the look on Jean's face. "Oops."
One minute later…
"Refresh my memory: *How* did I get talked into this crazy idea?!" Jean grouched as she stood by the entrance of Pizza Hut.
"Ok Colossus, hand me the blowtorch." Scott instructed as he and Kurt stood by the back entrance
"Here you go, boss." Colossus hollered, handing the acetylene torch to Scott.
"Ok Kurt, light 'er up." Remy barked
"Yes sir." Kurt commented, blowing off the padlock to the door entrance
"CRRREAK!"
"Uh, Colossus?" Scott asked
"Yeah, buddy?" Colossus answered
"Are steel doors supposed to make loud, grinding, squeaks like that?" Scott asked nervously
"LOOK OUT!" Kurt hollered as the door broke off the hinges
"Oh boy." Colossus groaned, covering his ears
"CLASH!"
"What the *hell* was that?!" Jean barked
"Uh…the back entrance door fell off." Scott replied meekly
"Well get it back on then *now*! And get the pizza! I'm freezing out here!" Jean ordered
"Uh…ok." Colossus commented before turning to Kurt. "Help me put this thing back on the hinges…*quietly*"
"You got it." Kurt answered before seeing Scott and Remy enter "Where are you two going?"
"To get our food. Tabitha's down there to make sure everything's secure." Scott replied before he and Remy raced down the staircase
"Oh boy." Kurt moaned before stretching and pushing up the back door
"Put your backs into it, boys!" Jean ordered "Use some muscle, for goodness sakes!"
"No problem." Colossus commented, armoring up
"Ugh…jeez this thing's heavy." Kurt grunted, grinding his teeth
"Erk…almost got the first hinge." Colossus grunted, holding it
Meanwhile, in the restaurant…
"Now remember Remy, no goofing off this time." Scott ordered as they entered the kitchen
"It's dark in here. And there's quite…a lot of knives." Remy said nervously as he stood near a cleaver
"Ah, relax, it's only plastic. Now quit being dramatic and help me get our odor!" Scott ordered before Remy burst out laughing "What's so funny?"
Remy chuckled "You said 'odor' instead of order" before cackling like a hyena
"Ok ok very funny. Now help me get the order. And keep the giggles down, so the cops don't hear." Scott instructed before noticing "Hey Tabitha, you got the security cameras shut off?"
Tabitha replied on her walkie-talkie "Roger that. Managed to cut the green wire with your laser watch. It's a pretty nifty tool."
"Got that. Get the order out on the double. And make it fast." Remy added before turning to Scott "We'd better see how Kurt and Colossus are holdin' up. I think they're stalling."
"Oh, come on! Those two are professionals, for crying out loud! Sheesh, what could they be doing?" Scott asked rhetorically
Back in the alley…
"Have you two geniuses fixed the door yet? It's now 6 am and I've counted at least three police cars passing by!" Jean hollered, trying to keep her eyes open
"Ugh…Kurt, hand me that Philips screwdriver will ya?" Colossus ordered
"Ok." Kurt answered and rummaged through the tool box
"CLATTER! BANG! CRASH! TINKLE!"
"Oops." Scott's voice echoed from the kitchen
"What did you do *now*?!" Jean hissed
"Nothing. Just tripped over the janitor's broom and Remy got a frying pan glued to his butt." Tabitha piped up
"You've *got* to be kidding me." Jean muttered, rubbing her forehead before hollering "Just get up here *now*!"
"Yes ma'am! Oh and…do you have any tonsils?" Remy asked rhetorically
"AAARRRGH!" Jean screamed in annoyance
"Ask a stupid question…" Scott groaned, slapping his forehead
Two minutes later…
"Well it's about *time* you guys showed up?!" Rogue barked as she was seated in the chairs by the pool as Scott, Jean, Kurt, Tabitha and Colossus entered with their pizza orders
"What the hell took you so long?!" Logan barked "And why does Gambit have a frying pan glued to his ass?!"
"Don't ask." Remy moaned in embarrassment while Jean gave Logan a look
"Ok, new plan: Zip it and eat." Scott ordered
"Now *that* sounds like a good idea" Colossus commented
