Neighbors-Scott and Jean Summers / Thing in the basement-Logan
Cousin It's Partner-Ororo / Thing-You'll have ta wait and see *smile*

*Scott and Jean Summers...are unloading the last boxes from their station wagon into their new house by the lake...located directly behind the Xavier mansion*

Scott- "Honey...look at that house...When the sales man said "an old family mansion" I didn't think he meant that old."
Jean- "It's a rustic look"
Scott- "Jean as in RUSTING to pieces...reminds me of a haunted house...that place give me the creeps."
Jean- "Well it's too bad you feel that way...because YOU have to go ask them if they know how to hook up a VCR."
Scott- "But I don't want to..."
Jean- "I don't care what you want...you ARE going to go over and ask them if THEY know how to hook up a VCR..."
Scott- "Jean I think that's a little pushy"
Jean- "Don't THINK....just LISTEN"
Scott- "Yes dear"

*Bishop finally gets Scott into the master room...After grabbing him by the collar and dragging him into the room. He tosses Scott on the couch.*

Bishop-"Wait here...I'll get the boss man."
Scott- "Sure." *Bishop leaves the room. All of a sudden Scott hears an explosion...and sees a young man fly by him...followed by two kids...or at least adults...that were dressed like kids in Sunday school outfits*
Rogue-"Uncle Sam.....

Warren-"Ahhh.. My good man...My friend Bishop says you are our new neighbor...and that you are having problems with your VCR."
Betsy-"Oh my...what a dreadful thing...How utterly miserable you must be"
Warren-"Oh Betsy" *starts to kiss Betsy's hand up and down* "I love it when you talk angust."
Betsy-"Warren...not in front of the guest"
*Scott stare off into space...wondering if he tries really hard to wake up..if it will work...but decides since he isn't asleep in the first place...that it would probably be a longshot at best*

*Various members of the Xavier Family...and Scott are now gathered in the main room... Scott's looking a little pale...but is listening intently as the meeting progresses.*
Warren-"Well it seems no one in our family has the knowledge required to connect the cord from the VCR to the TV...therefore I believe the only option left is to call a professional in to assess the matter."
Betsy-"We must have a vote first dear...it's tradition." Warren-"Of course my dear...all those who agree raise their hand."
*All "visible" hands in the room go up* Warren-"Well I have to ask to make if official...All opposed raise your hands."
*Seeing no ones hand go up...Warren starts to look in the yellow pages...when all of a sudden the small wooden box in the corner opens and a hand raises up.*
Betsy-"Dear...it appears Thing knows how to work a VCR...is that right Thing?"
*the hand moves up and down to indicate yes* Warren-"THING your a genius...because only a genius would be able to figure out something so complex"
Betsy-"Well then lets go...shall we?"

*Scott...eager to leave goes over to the box and ignoring the fact that this is the most unusual thing he has ever seen precedes to take Thing by the hand...

EPOLIGUE

Soon after Remy got a job as a model for men's rings...and Started dating Wednesday...who was the only person at the Xavier mansion who could hook up a VCR...and would have if she hadn't been otherwise occupied. Jean happy that her VCR was working...stopped nagging Scott as much...which was a very good thing...because stress does not go well with his medication. Bishop also found a new job as a grommet chef on a local TV station...Which Jean taped everyday at 4:00...right after Spiderman.
