Pool Fun!
Papa and son caught up after all the gifts were opened up and the huge mess was all cleaned up, and the wrapping papers all burned in the fire, as they sat together in the warm den just talking and catching up on what has happened to them both over the past years they have been apart from each other. Later after lunch was done and over with, Sydney showed his papa around the whole Xavier School. "Hey you even have a pool here, swanky."
"You can go for a dip if you like."
"In what, my underpants, I didn't bring a bathing suit or swim trunks with me. I don't even have boxer shorts to use those."
"Well go in your underwear; who cares, or skinny dip."
"Oh forget that idea, are you serious, I would get caught!"
"I'll lock the doors, and keep a watch outside for you while you go take a few laps around the pool."
"Forget it; I don't care if you are just joking around, I'm still not skinny dipping even though I really want to go for a swim. I'm a little warm; I could go for a nice cool dip in the pool."
"Well, I think I might have an extra bathing suit or something you can put on, I'll go look, I'm sure I can find something for you to swim in." As they walked off to Syd's room, they talked and joked, just like old times, before his mamma died. "Hee, hee, hee, oh Gambit, hee, hee, hee, oh that's funny," Morph's mind had just remembered something funny, jokes always came to his mind.
"What that guy with the dark eyes who always talks weird and refers to himself in the third person all the time; what's so funny?"
"Yeah, he always talks in the third person, it's a bit weird, but you get used to it after a while. I didn't realize, I thought he was being so rude this one time, when he was talking about our pool, in front of the girls, and he was calling it a piscine. That's French for a swimming pool." (The word piscine is pronounced like: 'piss-in', to get the joke.)
"Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, what, is that what it's called?"
"Yeah, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, oh so I was just laughing away and Remy couldn't understand what was so darn funny about what he said; a piscine. I finally told him after a good long laugh. That that's what people will usually do in the pool when they first get in, and especially if it's cold, they, piscine in the pool! To warm it up! Well, Gambit just laughed and laughed, when he got the joke! Later on, I let him know I know how to speak French fluently." Both having a good giggle and a big laugh over it, his papa Edward more so as he was holding his aching tummy as he laughed, and once both were calmed from all their giggles, Sydney continued. "But before that I told Gambit if you're gonna use that word, at least don't say it in front of the girls, it's considered a bit rude, most of the time, rather than saying pee or something else."
"What did the girls say about that?"
"They were a bit surprised; I could be a gentleman when I wanted to be. I guess they thought that since I'm always on and joking around so much that I was rude, and didn't have a gentlemanly side to me. I told them, no my parents, especially my papa, taught me well, on how to be a gentleman. So they were all a little bit surprised to hear that. So now all of them started asking me questions to test me on a few things. All of them were shocked to find out that at night I remember to put the toilet seat back down after I'm done, if I go at night."
"I'm surprised you remembered to do that, it's been a few years since you have needed to do that."
"I remember everything, I got a perfect photographic memory so do I remember everything. So the girls started talking and figured, well, that's it, if I can do that, why not all the other boys. So the girls did a bit of a protest campaign when they heard that. They all figured if I can do that at least at night, why not the rest of the boys? Reluctant as they were for this one, the girls got their way. So it's now a new household rule now about going to the bathroom and us guys leaving the toilet seat up, that it's a big no-no now, to do that, just at night. So now there were three choices, we had to choose from. One, to hold it in until morning and go then and you can leave the seat up if you want. Two, go pee, but then you put the seat back down after you're all done going pee. Or, three, hee, hee, you go pee while sitting down, at night, so you don't forget that."
"Hee, hee, hee, hee, oh no, that's terrible, sort of! How did that all work out?"
"Oh there were a few complaints, but the boys were soon trained, to put the seat back down or sleep uncomfortably, I don't think any of the boys took a seat to go yet. Or at least that I know of."
"Aside from maybe you," papa jokes. "Is that a bathroom there," his son nodded yes. "Ooh good, I have to pee."
"Again, that's the third time in an hour already you had to pee. What's up with that? You didn't have that much coffee and water to make you have to go that much."
"I know, it is weird, I usually don't go this much, even if I do have two cups of coffee. I can pee but you think the other end would get some attentions with all of the coffee; but no, I haven't gone for a day or two now. Probably just excited to finally see you is all it is."
"Well that's not good, you're supposed to do that at least once or more a day. I'll stop by Hank's Med Lab and get you some laxative, to help you make. Usually it's the other way, you have to poop more if you get excited about something and pee more. So maybe peeing and constipation is normal for you when you get really excited about something." After finding his papa his swimming trunks and boxer shorts underwear; and after trying them both on, and finding only that the swim trunks fit, his papa used those, and Sydney used his dark purple boxer shorts underwear as a bathing suit. Glad it worked out that way. So off to Hank's Med Lab to go get some laxative first, then it was off to the pool for a dip. Hank wasn't in there, but he did find his papa some chocolate ex-lax, which he took hoping he would poop soon. Off to the pool, his papa huffed and shook his head, there was Logan in the pool, and Jubilee was with her.
"See this is exactly why I said, what I said, I would get caught. I'm so glad I didn't take your suggestion," and finished it in Italian, "going swimming without clothes, to show off my birthday suit to them." Sydney giggles, embarrassed for his papa. "Oh go soak your head," he says and pushed his son into the water, and jumps in after him! "Oh, quit your laughing, it's not that funny! What if it happened to you! How would you like it?! Got no answer for me, hmmm, so you got no smart answer for that one, do you?"
"I don't know; I haven't been put into that situation before." Giggling with a big mischievous smile, he splashed his papa in the face. Ooh and papa did not look too pleased when his son did that! "You looked hot. You said you were warm."
Shaking his head, Edward out of nowhere, pushed Sydney's head down under the water! "I told you to go soak your head!"
"Cough, cough, papa, ohh, thanks a lot!"
"You're welcome," and dunked his head down again and then started splashing him in the face, as they play wrestled a bit and having some good clean fun!
"Hey, me mutant, you a, metamorph, aaahhh-aaahhh!" doing a loud Tarzan yell as Jubilee flew off the rope swing and at first looked like she had intended to do a nice big cannonball, but had slipped off the rope swing, before she even got a chance to go out all the way out, to do that! All in thanks to her trying to show off, with her powers, to blast herself out, to swing out farther and faster! Only to totally loose her grip, with only one arm holding onto the rope swing! So with limbs flailing out a bit, Jubilee did a hard belly flop instead!
"Ohh, oooh, nasty," using his powers to make a sign with 6.8 on it!
"Oh that had to hurt! Hee, hee, hee, hee, well, that's what you get sometimes, for being a show off! You get hurt."
"Kid, you okay," closest to her, Logan swam over to see if she was okay.
"Cough, cough, ooh, unh, yeah, I'm fine, ohh, sort of. Hey, come on, Morphy, it wasn't that bad was it? Let's see you do better."
"What did she just call you?"
"Now you got one for Morph huh," Logan says shaking his head at her.
"She likes to call me, Morphy, now, just like she calls Wolverine, Wolvie, sometimes. You know one of these days he's not going to think it's so cute anymore."
"Yeah, but it's not going to be today! Is it, Wolvie," Logan just rolled his big old blue eyes at her. "Hey, let's see what you can do, no cheating with your powers."
"Okay," getting out, he shunned the rope swing and went for the high dive.
"I want to see a flip or 2, and into a head first dive," Jubilee giggles. "Think you can manage that one, MORPHY!" Nodding Syd readied himself; running and then bounce jumping off; he tucked in, to do two flips, and then un-tucked, to dive down head first into the water! "A perfect 10 a perfect 10; and the crowd goes… Oh, my, gosh, ohh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha-ha! Oh and that has earned you an extra 10 bonus points for that extra bit of breathtaking showmanship! Whoo! Yeah, way to go, Morph!"
"For what," Morph asks as he was confused as he surfaced, and wondering why Jubilee was giggling and trying not to stare at him!
"Oh gee, now there's a side of my best friend; that I had hoped and thought, that I would never ever see!"
"I've seen it before, before he started doing it himself, I used to change him, hee, hee. Hey, Sydney, hide your shame, if you have nay, hee, hee, hee, hee, because this is exactly why I didn't want to go, skinny dipping!"
"Huh? Oh my God," looking down, he was totally exposed, and right behind him, half floating up in the water, were his purple undershorts! "Aaah gasp unh, my shorts," dive grabbing for them, his butt surfaced as he dove under water to try and get them on, with a bit of a hard struggle! Seeing the tag under the water, he knew what way was what, but the big problem was that they were inside out, and it was hard to fix that underwater, but Syd managed and slipped them on, and gasped for air as he surfaced with them on. "Tada, there, I'm no longer exposed!"
"But you got one nice looking butt, Morph! Well, now, I don't know, if I'm going to have nightmares after seeing that, or really good dreams, all about you and that cute little tight dimpled butt of yours, whoo-hoo!"
Embarrassed as can be, "Aaahhh, oooh," dunking her head under water, Jubilee was sputtering but spat water in his face and laughed and got a splash of water in her face for that! Dunking her back under, she swam off under his legs and tried to yank down his shorts! "Hey what, no you don't," grabbing them back up before Jubilee got them down past his private areas, but even so, he was still not happy with her! "What were you trying to do, you sick little naughty… Papa," gasping his papa was groaning as he put his arms around his tummy, and slipped under the water! "Papa," dive swimming off for him as fast as he could go, Sydney brought him up to the surface, and hauled him up and out of the pool and onto the deck! About to do CPR, papa coughed up some water and started breathing on his own! "Oh God, oh, papa, what happened?!"
"Ohh ooh, cramps, ohh," he says holding his tummy. "I thought that was just an old wives tale about getting a cramp and drowning, ooh ohh."
"Cramps, but, from what, you hardly ate anything. You didn't even have any breakfast and you only had half a cupful of soup at lunch."
"I just wasn't that hungry. I was looking forward to that big dinner, later. Oh I don't know why I would get a cramp, and almost drown like that. Ohh maybe I just ate something that disagreed with me. Ohh, unh, ohh, maybe that spicy burrito that I had last night as I was driving here may that's what disagreed with me."
"Maybe, it could be that. If you get anymore cramps or anything strange or out of the ordinary like that, you let me know, and I'll have Hank take a look at you right away. He's our doctor, and he knows his stuff." Papa just nodded his head, as he laid there a bit. "In the meantime no more swimming today, I think we've all have enough of that today."
