Snow and Fire Don't Mix!

Chapter 9

Operation Payback

John plopped himself down on a couch in the lobby. It was nice and comfy for his sore butt.

A few minutes later, Rogue and Bobby made their way to the lobby. Kitty was trailing behind them. Rogue sat next to John on the couch and whispered something into his ear. John flashed a big smile.

"This vacation might not suck after all." John announced.

Bobby went behind the couch and stuck his head between Rogue and John, "What are you two planning?"

"That's none of your business, Frosty!" Rogue and John said together while pushing Bobby's face out of theirs.

John was rubbing his hands together, "Why am I so cold?"

Everyone looked at Bobby.

Bobby defended himself, "Why does everyone always accuse me when they are chilly?"

Everyone ignored him.

"I'll be right back." John got off the couch and went to use the bathroom located in the lobby.

'No Smoking' John read the sign in bold red letters plastered on the wall. 'Well I'm not smoking' He said to himself. He ignited his lighter and created a fireball in his palm. He increased it to warm up every frozen bone in his body.

There was no alarm. No warning (besides the sign that John chose to ignore because he wasn't actually smoking.) Nothing! All of a sudden the sprinklers went off. The lame sprinklers would take forever to put out his fireball so John did it himself.

"Why me?" John said quietly looking up at the ceiling.

He came out of the bathroom, soaking wet. He was dripping from head to toe.

Bobby couldn't let this slide with out a remark, "Hey John, did you fall in?"

John gave Bobby a death glare, "For your information I was trying to warm myself up and I set off the sprinklers."

Remembering what Rogue had whispered to him earlier John grinned and winked at Rogue, "I'll go up to change and I'll meet you back here so we can carry out our plans."

"Sounds good to me." Rogue was still smiling watching John walk away.

Kitty looked at Rogue, "Like, what are you smiling at?"

"Never mind" Kitty said as soon as she saw John's tight ass cling to his wet Jeans.

Bobby looked back at the girls to figure out what they were giggling about. 'Why are Girls always giggling?' He thought as he shook his head.


Bobby was trying to hold back laughter but he was never good at that so he burst out laughing when they got back to their room. He fell back onto his bed.

While John was trying to get changed he was trying really hard to ignore Bobby's laughter but he couldn't ignore it. "I didn't fall in alright." John grumbled.

"Oh come on, it's funny either way!" Bobby was nearly in tears.

John couldn't take it anymore. He quickly formulated a plan: Operation - Payback.

John stood in front of the closet door. He looked closely at the floor and grinned, "Hey Bobby come here."

"Do you see that?" John said pointing at the floor.

"No." Replied Bobby

"Look closer." John insisted.

Bobby bent down closer and John swung the closet's door open to purposely hit Bobby's head.

Bobby fell to the floor instantly.

"Bobby?"

No answer.

'Excellent' John thought to himself. He had successfully knocked Bobby out. 'That was easy...probably cause his head is empty.'

John placed Bobby in the closet and put Bobby's hands behind his back and tied them up. John grinned to himself, "God did I hate Boy Scouts but I did learn one thing from it...tying knots."

John sat Bobby up against the wall. He lightly backhanded Bobby's face a few times to wake him up. There wasn't any glory in it if you didn't get to say something smug to your hostage. Bobby was still dazed as he blinked a few times to get his vision in focus.

Standing in front of him was the one and only John Allerdyce with a huge grin on his face.

John patted Bobby's head, "Sorry Drake, but when you mess with Pyro you get burned; when you mess with St. John there is hell to pay!"

"Uh...John don't leave me in here...I'm claustrophobic."

"Nice try Drake but I know you better than you know yourself and that, my friend, is a lie"

Bobby smirked, "It was worth a shot."

"That lie allows me to do this." John walked out of the closet and came back a minute later. He was tossing rolled-up socks in his hand.

"What are you doing with that?" Bobby asked even though he didn't want to know.

John grinned, "Sticking them where they belong."

John was inching closer to Bobby.

Bobby was struggling to get his hands free, "J-John please don't….I'm begging you."

"Don't make this harder than it already is...open wide."

"John d- mmm hmmmhmm"

"What's that Bobby? I can't seem to understand you with a sock in your mouth!"

"Mhm hmmhmmhmm"

"Oh before I forget I have to put the cherry on top of my masterpiece."

To top everything off, John placed a piece of masking tape over the sock in Bobby's mouth, "This is necessary for two reasons. Reason 1: So you can't spit the sock out; Reason 2: When the tape comes off it's going to hurt like a son of a bitch."

John crossed his arms as he took one last look at his best friend. John gave Bobby a salute, "See you later Ice Cube." John kicked the door shut and locked it.

"mmhm hmhmmh", John heard through the door. "Sucker" Ah, that was fun, but now it's time to have some fun with Rogue without Bobby!

A/N: I really love this chapter...maybe because John shut Bobby up and got some revenge at the same time. Oh and FYI I came up with John's payback plan in the shower!
