A beautiful evening at the Xavier Estate. Three of the residents are for once, trying to enjoy a relaxing evening at home.

A young, light brown haired man, with classic all-American looks, sat on a couch holding a remote control. For the moment he had stopped on a news program. A tall, young woman, with an athletic build, sat not far from him,
glancing through a fashion magazine.

"This is what I call, a relaxing evening at home." Bobby Drake said aloud flipping the channel again. "That's only cuz you got the remote, sugah." Rogue answered tossing an auburn and white lock away from her face, with a gloved hand. She stood up and dropped the magazine she had been reading, then headed out the door.

Bobby went back to flipping channels. "Hey! Turn that back!" A voice suddenly objected. "Huh?" Bobby mumbled in confusion. No one was in the room, so who had said it? Bobby relaxed once more, and resumed changing channels.

"Hey! Didn't you hear me Ice-Boy? Turn it back!" Bobby jumped up and looked about. "What the.?" "Yeah you heard me snowman. Turn it back." "Who said that?" Bobby asked turning off the television. "Now I'm really getting mad icey. Turn the t.v. on or else." The voice threatened.

Bobby tossed the remote down and walked over to the t.v. set, and looked behind it. The voice began laughing. "You won't find me there Mr. Freeze." Bobby ran around the room looking for a source, while the voice taunted him.

Rogue came back in sipping a soda. "Whoah there sugah, what exploded?" She asked stopping in her tracks. "It's talking to me." He answered throwing cushions around. "Uhhh-k. What's talkin' to ya, hun?" "It! It. It. I don't know!" He raved. "Ooooh. Can't find me, eh Ice-boy?" "There! Did you hear it?" "Hear what?" Rogue asked playing innocent.

"She can't hear me Robert." The voice said calling him by name. "Aaaaahhhhh! There it is again!" Rogue sat down in front of the television, and picked up the discarded remote. "Tell beautiful over there to turn it to ABC there's a program I wanna watch." Rogue took a gulp of soda and pretended not to notice the remark. "Shut up!" Bobby screamed.

"Bobby. Maybe you should go see Hank in the infirmary. Perhaps you're comin' down with somethin'." Rogue suggested, while trying to keep from laughing. "Yeah maybe I'll do that." He replied absently. "You think you'll find me Freezie-pop?" The voice mocked as he walked out the door. When Rogue was sure he was out of ear shot, she burst out laughing. After a moment she composed herself, and hurried after him.

All the way down to the med-lab the voice taunted and teased Bobby. By the time he reached Hanks lab, he was nearly frantic. "Hey Hank. I need.." he stopped short as a huge blue furred animal with a fanged smile dropped from the ceiling and roared at him. Being the last thing he had expected, Bobby's eyes rolled back, and he fell to the floor.

The Beast flipped down from is perch, laughing. "You sure you didn't go to far, sugah?" Rogue asked coming in to the room. "After all the pranks he has pulled? Nah, he deserves it." "Ah guess you're right on that one." Rogue said with a laugh. Making sure he was ok, then placing a pillow under his head they walked off.

When Bobby woke, the first thing he saw was a piece of paper. He sat up and
read it.

Two things Robert.
1. Do your own laundry.
2. Check your pockets.

How's them apples?

-Hank

Bobby reached into his pockets, and pulled out a tiny disk shaped microphone. Bobby smiled and hung his head. Shaking it from side to side, Bobby mumbled to himself. "I'll get you Beast, and your little Rogue friend too. Don't mess with the best."
