Spykecam by Morven
Middleverse might not be as colourful as there was no......... Well, Logan in there!! This should make up for it. One is getting fed up of doing this.
Pad sits down with the other's, she was late, for no other reason than shopping. The other's were already sitting, waiting as calmly as they could, some planned on strangling Pad as soon as she entered the room.
Skye: Where were you?
Pad: Its so hard not to go shopping! I mean we're right next to a mail!
Skye: Oh yes, the temptations have been hurting me too. But I buy food way before.
John: You fat pie!
Skye: I know!
Peat: Skye could be a super model John!
Skye: Oh yes, that's my dream! Sorry Peaty, but no way in heaven am I going to go down a cat-walk half naked and look like someone who hasn't eaten in a month.
Open on Sabertooth climbing the Bayvile water tower.
********************
Over to Bayvile High.
[bell rings]
Students: Yeah, man, it's due tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. No, it's good. Come on, we're gonna be late. I gotta get to gym. Got to. [students continue to chat and laugh]
Pad: Well, that makes sense. Will Kurt be in this one?
Skye: Wait, he'll be in there soon.
Evan: *looking at his paper* Man, Professor Xavier's gonna ground me for the rest of my life.
Teacher: Mr. Daniels, could we talk for a moment, please? Admittedly, I asked for a report on the star wars program. However, I wasn't talking about the movie.
Evan: But I like movies.
Skye: As we all, but I prefer comedies.
Peat: Then why are you here?
Skye: Because those two nutters made me.
Teacher: Which is fine. But I was expecting a report on the national space defence system.
Evan: Yeah...I sorta figured that out by my grade. Hey, look, man, is there anything I can do to make this up? Extra credit? Anything?
Teacher: Hmm... perhaps there is something. *gets a camera out of his desk*
Evan: Whoa, a digicam. How cool is that?!
Teacher: You know, Evan, current events can mean a lot of things, including things that are important to people your age. They don't have to be huge. They just have to mean a lot to you. How would you like to do a film report on that?
Evan: You mean it? You got it.
Teacher: Here. Project is due at the end of the week. I suggest you get started.
Evan: Hey, I'm on it. And thanks for the second chance, Mr. V. cool. Instant rewind, digital zoom. Hey, I can even see the institute through this thing. Wow! [chuckles] hello, Logan.
Pad: Wow, who knew camera's can do that?
Peat: Imagine if you spied on one of your mates while they were f....
Skye: Peat! Children! Wee children can be watching this! We had problem's the last time!
John: Hey, Skye, will Rogue be in this?
Skye: Heck yes, she's in most of it.
John: Oh good, I want to see something......... Different rather than the fluff ball and the ditz.
Pad: OI!
Kurt: Evan!
Evan: Hey! Man, don't scare me like that. I almost tooth picked you.
Kurt: Sorry. Image inducer's on the fritz. I've got to get back to the institute before someone sees me. that means missing our shop class.
Evan: Hey, no prob. I'll catch it on tape for you.
Kurt: Cool! Then I'm outta here.
Pad: Oh! He's hot!
Skye: No he's not! He's blue.
Pad: You know what I mean.
Skye: Yes I do, but for the sake of annoyance.
Sabertooth watches from the top of the water tower and growls.
Skye: Oh! I wonder who checks his teeth?
Peat: They probably saw this before they died.
John: Let's face it, Sabertooth would eat anybody who tried to cheek his teeth.
Skye: Kinda like looking inside a lion's mouth.
********************
Evan: and...action.
Rogue: I didn't swipe your stupid novel.
Skye: See?
John: ....................
Pad: The land of Rogue is ready to depart.
Peat: Could Passenger John please get to his seat?
Kitty: Oh, right. Like, I suppose it just got into your gym locker by accident?
Rogue: You loaned it to Kurt, and he loaned it to me. I was gonna give it back.
Kitty: Oh, right, like--*bumps into a cute guy* unh. Oh, sorry. Could I be any klutzier?
Whole group, minus John: YES!
Jason: No problem. Let me help.
Kitty: Hey, I feel like such a dork. I mean, I really should look where I'm going.
Evan: And enter the love interest.
Jason: Here you go.
Kitty: Oh, ho ho. Thank you, Jason.
Rogue: [mocking] "thank you, Jason." uck.
Skye: Don't blame her. Gal is a right.........
Pad: Very rude word?
Skye: Big Potato!
Pad: And that makes all the sense of a norman lemon.
Skye: Oh! You've met Norman too?
Pad: Yes.....
Girls go into a deep conversation about Norman Lemon.
Peat: I want oot!!!!!!!!!!!
John had started to drool.
Jason: It's Kitty, right?
Kitty: Uh, yeah. Kitty. That's right. Yeah. [giggling] Hi. Oh, I already said that. Um... what you doin'?
Rogue: Uhh! I am definitely gonna be ill.
Peat: I already am sister!
Pad & Skye: Huh?
Peat: Uh! *He faints.*
Jason: Hangin' posters. Auditions for the school play are tomorrow night. Hey, you're gonna try out, right? We need girls who can sing and dance.
Skye: Yea because Kitty will end up singing with the word like' in the song.
Kitty: So, like, what part do you play? Um, I'm the, uh, male lead. You're gonna be Dracula? Cool. Well, then, duh. I mean, yeah, sure. Of course I'm gonna totally try out.
Jason: Great. Well, then I'll see you tomorrow.
Rogue: Just when I thought you could not get possibly more pathetic.
Kitty: At least I've got a hope of getting cast, unlike you.
Evan: Time to get up close and personal.
Rogue: Think about it... I was made for this play. Hey! What are you playing at, porcupine?
Evan: Huh? It's cool. I'm just doing an assignment for Vandermeer's class.
Rogue: I'd better not see my face on that tape, or they're gonna be calling you spyke-less.
Evan: Uh, yeah. Hey, look, don't worry about it. So, are you guys gonna audition for this?
Kitty: Well, I am.
Rogue: Yeah, me, too.
Evan: Cool. Oh, yeah, character conflict. Now, that's what I'm talking about.
Skye: I am pretty sure that ain't what the teach wanted him to do.
Pad: What?
Skye: Evan here seems to be creating a film, but his teach wants him to do a film, or documentary, on his family.
Pad: You paid attention?
Skye: Yes.
John is slowly coming out of his Rogue world.
********************
Outside the school.
Sabertooth: *watching* Yaah! Grrr...
Skye: Such great vocab.
Pad: We've done this before, right? I'm getting some sort of deja vu!
Skye: Oh yea, we've complained about the brilliant lines Sabertoothy gets!
Pad: Yea, no existent!
Evan: *into the camera* And now for an Evan's-eye view of what it means to be a truly thrashing street skater.
He takes off on his skateboard. Sabertooth is in hot pursuit. He catches up and pounces on Evan, taking the camera.
John: Not too brilliant huh?
Skye: Nope.
Sabertooth with camera. [tape rewinds] ahh... ohh... Evan on tape: hey, I can even see the institute through this thing. Sabertooth laughs. Heh heh heh heh heh! [grunts] uhh...
Pad: His vocab stinks.
Skye: Grim Reminder is the one we should all look forward to. I believe he actually talks more!
Pad: Its a miracle!!
Skye: And the doc is called doctor Evil........
John: Really?
Skye: *whispers* No, just made it up, but they don't know it!
Pad: Your insane.
Evan: Man, somebody is lookin' for some trouble. Huh? [panting] what? Oh, man, I hope it isn't busted. Seems to be ok.
Toad: S'up, daniels?
Evan: What do you want, Tolansky? Look, I'm busy here.
Toad: I heard about your movie. Check me out. Style, charisma, the Toad's got it all, yo. So start shootin' already.
Evan: Take a hike, Tolansky. I got too much respect for my craft.
Sabertooth - [long evil sigh] heh heh heh!
Pad: Plonker!
Skye: He can rip you to shreds you know?
John:: True, but why ain't you worried?
Skye: Because, Sabertooth is basically an animal in a man's body, the animal part will go after the one slacking behind.
John: And?
Skye: Well, as long as am faster than either of you...........
John: Hey!
Skye: What? We can both out run Pad, she's wearing high heels.
********************
[alarm clock buzzes]
Evan shuts it off, rolls over and stretches, launching several spikes around the room.
Evan: Huh? Oh, man... not again! [electrical crackling]
Storm: [knock on door] Up and at 'em, little man. Breakfast in 10. And what's this?
Evan: It's a school project. I'm recording current events... from the Evan Daniels perspective.
Storm: I don't mind the Evan Daniels perspective... but I don't think a Spyke-eye view is such a good idea.
John: I don't think an Ororo-eye view is what we want either!
Skye: True.
Evan: [chuckling] Yeah. I see what you mean.
Storm: I think you better let us take a look at your film before you turn it in. Understand?
Evan: Yeah, sure, Auntie O. hmm.
Outside Jean's bathroom.
Pad: Peat!
Skye: Peat!
John: Peat!
All three: PEAT!
Peat: Woohoo! Hotty hotty hot hot!
Jean: Maybe the red. No. Maybe the... mmhhh...hmm. Hey! What are you doing? Hey, get that camera outta my face now! *she flicks the door shut and Evan across the hall*
Evan: Whoa...uhh! Ohhh... hey. Touchy, touchy. Wasn't that interesting, anyway. Let's see if I can find some real action around here.
Skye: And ya all call me insane for talking to a hole-puncher.
Pad: Skye, that thing is on record.
Skye: Damn it!
Outside on the grounds.
Logan: Field battle training sim 7. Activate.
Scott: Watch your back!
Evan: Now, that's reality TV! Yaahh! Whoa! Awesome!
Logan: Grrr. *spying Evan not aware of flying projectiles* No! Look out! Yaahh! Yeoww! Uhh! *he knocks them off course, causing some damage around the grounds* What do you think you're doin' here, bub?! Those things could've taken your empty head right off!
Evan: I...I was just tryin' to get... *Logan takes the camera*
Logan: Gimme that thing!
Evan: Hey! Give it back! *Logan hits delete* Aw, man! Why'd you do that?
Pad: Because the world doesn't want to know about you?
Skye: Because Wolverine doesn't want Xavier to know that you almost got your head chopped off?
Logan: Let's just say you got on my bad side. Now, what else you got on this machine?
John: That makes sense.
Pad: Brilliant sense.
On the camera: Sabertooth: Thanks for showin' me where Logan is, kid. I owe you one. Grrr...
Peat: Wide range of vocab.
Skye: We've already commented on that.
Peat: Oh.
Evan: Who the heck was that?
Logan: Sabertooth.
Scott: He's got old issues with Wolverine. And it looks like you clued him in to our location.
Alarm goes off.
Pad: I wonder who that could be?
Skye: Oh-yes-so-do-I.
Logan: Ya think?
Sabertooth comes in after ripping off the big gate and distroying the weird blasters.
Sabertooth: Not bad, Logan... but not good enough! [snarling]
Skye: And gr! To you!
Professor X: [telepathically] Logan, I thought you had prevented Sabertooth from following you here.
Logan: I did last time, Charles. But this time... he had help. *Claws point towards Evan*
Evan: It's all my fault! What have I done?!
Peat: I know I've heard that before.
Skye: It looks like a famous painting...... Hum.
********************
The entire team comes running out. Logan: [growling] No! He's mine! *he and Sabertooth grapple*
Storm: No! This is not the place for your private war!
A battle. They drive Sabertooth away.
Sabertooth: This isn't over, Logan!
He runs, Logan chases.
Storm: Wolverine! No!
Sabertooth loses Logan, he is mad.
Skye: Oh. Poor wee Logan..........
John: Oh yes, lets feel sorry for the man who won't die!
********************
Back at the mansion.
Logan: He'll be back, you know.
Professor X: Well, he won't come here again. He knows the automated defences will detect him.
Logan: Hmm. That's the problem. He'll want to get me away from here, get me alone. And to, he's gonna need...
Professor X: A hostage?
Logan: Hmmhh. Got it in one.
Peat: He acts so........ Cheeky to X-man don't he?
Skye: Logan acts cheeky to the big boss man? Yea. And?
Peat: Just saying.......
Professor X: Hmm. This means all the students are in danger.
Logan: Yeah, and I gotta do somethin' about it.
Evan: You see the trouble you caused? If only there was some way of fixin' this...this mess.
Rogue: I've gotta practice for the audition, huh? And you've been hoggin' the soundtrack all mornin'.
Kitty: Hey, I bought it. Get your own.
Pad: Why if you all live in the same place?
Evan: Ladies, ladies. Maybe we can all help each other out here.
Both: What do you want?!
Skye: Gang up on Evan day!
John: Serves him right! Marrow copy!
Skye: Not even a good Marrow copy!
Peat & Pad: Marrow?
John: Marrow in the comics...... Never mind.
Evan: Look, you two think you can stop arguing long enough to help me do something important?
Rogue: Like what?!
John: Uh.........
Skye: Yippers, he's gone back to Rogue's world, sponsored by leather gloves!
Peat: *Austin Powers voice* Oh behave!
Evan: I'll explain on the way. But just to warn you first... we might have to do a bit of improvising.
They take off on a scooter. Sabertooth is watching.
Sabertooth: [growling softly] [growling] 3 little piggies, all alone. Logan, you're makin' this too easy.
Pad: Who knew that he was reading Three little pigs' before he came out?
Back inside.
Scott: [jingling keys] Just headin' out for a burger.
Logan: No, you ain't, bub. Until I nail that hairball, none o' ya are to leave the premises.
Scott: Aw, man...
Logan: Don't even start. Now, where are the others?
Scott: Uh...Kurt and Jean are upstairs, but I think Rogue and Kitty took off with Evan. *Wolvie growls* I'll come with you.
Logan: No. You stay put and look after the others.
John: Yea, that's what he does best.
Skye: Yup. Protect the rest of the flock.
********************
In the woods. The Dracula soundtrack is playing.
Evan: Come on, Rogue, get with the program! Shake that thing!
Rogue: Hey, she's got her moves, I've got mine.
Kitty: Yeah, girl. Ya gotta go with it, you know? You're like a walkin' zombie or somethin'.
John: Right! I'm gonna knock her for six! *Makes his way to the screen, other's hold him back* Let me go!
Skye: There's a big glass window that'll stop you from punching the ditz away!
John: *Move's back to his seat, calm and composed.* Damn it!
Evan: Hey, listen, Rogue, how 'bout you shed them gloves and give k-girl a tiny tap?
Rogue: What?!
Kitty: No way!
Evan: Listen to me. just enough to rip Kitty's moves.
Rogue: Might work. Just concentrate on 'em.
Kitty: Ok, but you better not, like, lay me out. *Rogue taps her* Whoa.
Rogue: That was, like, pretty icksome. Am I talkin' like her?
Skye: Oh-dear-god.
John: That little...... *Makes way for the screen*
Skye: John! They're gonna dance!
John stops and watches.
Evan: Ok! Let's get on with it. Action.
Sabertooth: *jumping on Evan* You're mine!
Evan: We've been expecting you. *Sabertooth picks him up, Evan throws spikes* You gotta be sharp if you're gonna mess with the Spyke.
Sabertooth throws Evan onto Rogue.
Sabertooth: *running at Kitty* Then I'll take you!
Kitty: Right. I'm so sure. Huh? *he gets her*
Rogue: Back off, ugly. *he grabs Rogue, immobilising her hands.*
John: That little......... *John heads for the screen once again*
Skye: Piffle!
Logan: Pickin' on kids, Creed? Big mistake.
Sabertooth: Yeah? Why?
Logan: 'Cause...it really ticks me off!
Skye: Yea!
John: Poor Rogue......
They fight. All of a sudden, Rogue drops him from behind. She gets furry.
Rogue: Aw, and I just shaved my legs last night.
Pad: She's got furry ears! Oh, you just want to hug her until her eye balls pop out.
Skye: Experimenting with the hamsters again?
Logan: Nice. The finishing touch. You planned this, didn't you, porcupine?
Evan: Um... a little bit... yeah.
Logan: Well, don't do it again! You coulda all been killed. And don't give me them puppy-dog eyes, half pint. You're grounded. And so are the rest of ya.
Evan: Um...for how long?
Logan: [sighs] I don't know. Till she-wolf there gets a haircut, anyway. Now, let's go.
Pad: Oh......
Rogue: Hmphh!
Kitty: What are you gonna do with Sabertooth now?
Peat: Put him in a home, wait until some nice family collects him and takes him to a good home.
Skye:: Yes.
Evan: Yeah. Scott said you two been dukin' it up for years.
Logan: He and I got unfinished business.
Rogue: So what's gonna happen to him?
John: Her voice is a bit........ Uhm.........
Skye: Gruff.
Logan: Oh, he'll get a little coolin'-off period.
********************
Somewhere up north the Blackbird drops Sabertooth into a pile of snow.
Sabertooth: Where am I? I cannot remember.
Peat: Very little English words there.
********************
In the school gymnasium for the play.
Jean: Can't wait to see them.
Storm: Here we go.
Peat: Here we go, here we go, here we go! Here we go, here we go, here we go!
Skye: Peat knock it off right now!
Evan: *his video* Welcome to Bayvile, my new home. It's really kinda laid back here compared to New York, where I'm from. But I'm gettin' used to it. That's me--Evan Daniels, thrashin' skater. This film is about what's important to me, and that's my family. I mean, these guys aren't my real family, but they've kinda taken me in, you know? Like any family, we're all different. That's Scott. He's cool, but can be kinda stiff. Kurt usually takes care of that problem. The prof's like my new dad. He's all right. And so is Jean. That girl's got looks... And talent. That's Auntie Ororo at the piano. She's a real classy lady. And speakin' of classy ladies, check out Rogue and Kitty. Man, they got the moves! And so does Kurt. [chuckles] he likes to parrrrty! We usually all get along pretty good. You know? But even when someone's mad at me, they're still there when I need help. That's what bein' a family's all about... hangin' tight with the good times and bad. And these guys always hang tight. So this film's dedicated to my new family.
Pad: Ah!! Get him off the screen!!
Skye: I second that!! Ah!
John: Let's go.
Group leaves.
Waugh: NO! How can this happen? They are actually having........ eh....... Fun!
Sharp: Yea. Come now, we'll get you some nice grapes, hum?
Waugh: Oh fu.......
Go on to read about Survival of the Fittest.
