You remember the carnival at the high school? Where Lance, Fred, and Todd tried to steal some money from Tabitha and her dad, who stole it from the school volt, and the X-Men stopped them. Well, this was what Pietro was doing instead of helping his team mates.
Where Pietro Was In Bada-Bing Bada-Boom
Pietro was bored. He had already stolen nine wallets, and theft doesn't pose the same exciting challenge when it is this easy. In an attempt to hold of boredom, he snuck into the faculty parking lot and re-decorated Kelly's car.
"Ah, Pietro, you are a genius. Only someone as smart, graceful, and sexy as me could have had the brilliance to turn Kelly's car into a rolling aquarium. I'm brilliant," Pietro said, praising himself.
As Pietro walked around the carnival, thinking he was the best in the universe, a twelve year old boy with brown hair and brown eyes was looking for his friends.
"Bobby!" he called. "Rahne! Where are you guys!"
The little boy started to run, and bumped into someone's leg.
The person was Pietro.
"Huh?" Pietro looked down.
The boy looked up.
"Sorry," he said. "I'm looking for my friends Bobby and Rahne."
"Bobby and Rahne? I have a Bobby in my math class and there's a Scottish girl named Rahne who has a crush on me in some of my classes. She thinks I don't know, but I know." Pietro smirked. "Who wouldn't have a crush on me?"
"Rahne has a crush on you? Oh! Then you must be Pietro! She talks about you all the time!"
"Not surprising. And since I know she's a mutant who lives at the Institute and you know her, then you must live there too."
The kid nodded. "Yeah. I'm Jamie. And I'm the youngest at the Institute. I make copies of myself."
"Nice ta meet ya. And cool power. So, Jamie, what have you heard about me?"
"That your power is super speed, you're super smart, and you like to prank people, especially Evan. A lot of the older X-Men think you're a jerk, but I think you're hilarious!"
Pietro grinned. "Glad to see there are some people who can appreciate fine comedy."
"I know what you mean. The other guys wouldn't know a good joke if it bite them on the butt. Some of the younger mutants are a little cooler, but they still think you and your friends are jerks," Jamie replied.
"True art is never appreciated in its time," Pietro said with mock despair.
"Hey, is it okay if I hang with you 'till I find my friends?"
"Sure. My friends are somewhere else now. I'm not sure where. Oh well. Now, let's do something awesome!"
"Yeah!"
The two mutants did a lot of things together. They went on all the rides, played some games, stole money from people's wallets to buy all the junk food they could eat, spray painted some lockers, flirted with some girls, and then the two took apart Duncan's car and made it look like Scott did it by leading a trail oil to Scott's car and sticking the toolbox in the back seat.
"That was so cool!" exclaimed Jamie, happy.
"I know, right!" responded Pietro. "OK, for our next stunt, I've got something major planned. Follow me to the Ferris wheel."
When the duo arrived they saw Evan getting into one of the carriages. "Perfect," Pietro cackled. "OK theres the plan. As soon as the carriage Daniels is in gets to the top, you sneak into the control booth and short it, and I'll use this slingshot to shoot this time-delayed stink bomb into his carriage. Daniels will be trapped on the Ferris wheel with a stink bomb in his carriage! You ready, Jamie!"
"You know it!" the tiny mutant replied.
Because of his size, it was easy for Jamie to sneak in and mess with the controls. Evan's carriage was now stuck at the top.
Pietro used his slingshot to shoot his stink bomb in the carriage.
Shortly after, the time-delay stink-bomb went off and there was a small cloud of green-ish smoke coming out of Evan's carriage.
From the bottom, Pietro and Jamie could hear Evan's coughing fit, and him screaming his lungs out.
The two laughed their asses off.
"That was totally awesome, Pietro!" laughed Jamie.
"Yeah, it was," smiled Pietro.
"I gotta go now. I see my friends."
"Kay. Later."
"Later."
Jamie ran towards Bobby and Rahne. "Hey, Rahne! I can see why you like Pietro! He's so cool!"
"No way he's cooler then me!" said Bobby.
"Trust me, Bobby, he's the coolest guy on Earth!"
Rahne looked in Pietro's direction and smiled at him, giving him a small wave.
Pietro gave her a soft smile and waved back.
As the three young mutants walked away, Jamie looked back at Pietro and waved his arm.
Pietro grinned and gave him a thumbs up.
"He's okay for a kid," he said to himself.
The speed mutant ran off to have more fun and cause more trouble.
