Chapter Two

"I can't choose four students to just go on a trip, Professor," Jean said," It's not right."

"I know you don't want to do this," Charles said, "But it has to be done. They need to learn to work together as a team without their powers."

"It's not fair to them or us," Jean said, "Your sending three people who have already gone through this."

"Jean, I was hoping you would understand," Charles said, "But if you can't, then you can stay in your room while the voting is going on."

"Thank you, Professor," Jean said, leaving the room.

Charles wheeled out of the room and into the living room, where everyone else was waiting.

"Okay," Charles said, "You each have a piece of paper. Let's start with the older kids. So, if you will please write down the names of the three you want to go. No voting for Jean. She has already told me that she can't go."

Everyone began to write down names. It only took about ten minutes for everyone to finish. Charles looked at them all before looking up.

"Three votes for Rogue, two for Kurt, three for Kathy, five for Kitty, five for Remy, and none for Scott," Charles said," Here is some more paper. You just need to vote for Rogue or Kathy, since they have the same amount."

Everyone quickly wrote down a name and gave them to Charles.

"Looks like Rogue," Charles said, "You're the lucky one. Now time for you to vote for the four kids who will be going with you."

They wrote down names. It didn't take them as long as it took the younger ones.

"Okay," Charles said," I'm just going to say who won. Jamie, Amara, Bobby, and Tabitha."

"Alright," Tabitha said," Time to party."

"You'll be leaving in just one more day," Charles said," Oh, and I forgot to mention, the brotherhood will be joining you."

"WHAT?" Jamie, Amara, Bobby, and Tabitha shouted at the same time.

"Mystique and I thought it would be a good idea," Charles said, "This trip will help you to get to know the brotherhood better."

"Great," Tabitha said, folding her arms, "there gonna take the fun out of this."

"It's only four of them," Charles said, "Pietro, Pyro, Todd, and Wanda. Now, I suggest you start packing."

The four of them headed to their rooms to get ready. The others sat there for alittle while, before going their seperate ways. Remy and Rogue walked upstairs and into Remy's room.

"Help me pack," Remy said, "I don't know what to take."

"Well, make sure you have clothes to change," Rogue said.

"Dis won't be all bad," Remy said, turning to Rogue.

"I know it won't be that bad," Rogue sighed, "I just wish we didn't have to go all the way to this island just to be able to touch each other."

"I'm sure dis trip will be worth it," Remy said, "Now, are you gonna help me pack?"

Charles wheeled up to Tabitha's room and knocked on her door. She openned it and looked at him.

"I need you to read this book before you can go on this trip," Charles said, "Your english teacher isn't pleased with your grade. She called me and said that you can get it up to passing if you read this one night."

Tabitha took the book and stared at it. There was no title on the front.

"How will this get my grade up?" Tabitha asked.

"I'll tell her you read a book that had 156 pages in just one night," Charles said, "but you better read it or I can't tell her anything and you won't be able to go on this trip or the next trip we have, which you really don't want to miss the next one."

Tabitha sighed and closed the door of her room. Charles smiled and wheeled back to his office.

Kitty was throwing clothes everywhere. Kathy watched with very little interest.

"Should I take this swim suit?" Kitty asked, holding up a very light pink, one piece swim suit.

"I'd go with a darker one," Kathy said, not even looking at the swim suit, "Don't forget, the lighter the suit the easier it is to see through it. I really don't think you want Toad to see you wearing that."

Kitty looked at the swim suit before putting it back and pulling out a purple one. Kitty looked it over and than put it in her bag.

Scott sat next to Jean in the kitchen. He wasn't looking at all happy.

"I can't believe no one voted for me," Scott said, "I thought I would at least be one of them who got to go."

"You know why they didn't pick you," Jean said, with a small smile, "They think you would make them train."

"I would not," Scott said, "I'd try to prepare them for what's about to happen."

"They can handle it," Jean said, "and you know you would take all the fun out of it. They need to face this themselves."

brotherhood

The brotherhood members were sitting in the front room, waiting for Mystique to tell them who was going with them on this trip.

"They have finally got it sorted out," Mystique said, "Rogue, Remy, Kitty, Tabitha, Bobby, Amara, and Jamie."

"So, Scott is not going," Todd said, "Or Logan?"

"No," Mystique said, "There will be no adults there. This vacation is just for you kids."

"Great," Wanda muttered, "I can leave."

"I expect you all to be packed and ready for tomorrow," Mystique said.

The four of them nodded there heads. Mystique just grinned and left the room. The four of them looked at each other before they headed up to their rooms.

Brotherhood thoughts

Pietro: Maybe this won't be so bad. I wonder if there are gonna be any good looking girls there.

Todd: This will be great, yo. One whole month with Wanda and no walls that she can hex me into.

Wanda: I hate this. Why do I have to put up with this torture?

Pyro: Yes, Iceman is gonna be there. Now, I can see if he will melt.

End of brotherhood thoughts

A/N: Yes, I know it's not that long, but I really needed to get this story updated. I don't know when the next chapter will be up. Please review.
