T'was the Night Before Christmas (X-Men style. Sort of)

T'was the night before Christmas, and all the through the school, not an
X-member was stirring. They all ran outta fuel.

The parties were over, the kids put to sleep, but the kids were still up,
'cause their bedtime was cheap.

They crept down the stair on their little bare toes, and on past Bishop, who
was taking a doze. Then on over Bobby, passed out on the floor, if Iceman
had caught them, they'd be dead for sure.

They went into to the hanger to decide which to take, the Runner or
blackbird, "Just choose for god's sake!" They rigged up the blackbird, and
got on the plane, and had Ray Summers fly, cause she's the only one sane.

The Ramsey triplets bickered in the cargo bay, and what the Drake twins were
doing, I won't even say. Neena Wisdom was asleep in the back, while little
Darien Wisdom reprogrammed his mommy's mini Mac.

Tory Wagner and Tams Summers did some really strange things, while Angela
Worthington was combing her wings.

Dave McCoy sat with some chemicals at one side, while Joey Cassidey smirked,
just enjoying the ride.

That's when Annie Braddock thought it a good time to say, "I'm getting
hungry, stop at a McDonalds Ray!" So Rachel landed in the midst of some
trees, so they could all go to their local Mcy D's.

They went into the place to find it empty, and Jake Wisdom exclaimed, "Hey,
more food for me!" So they ordered some burgers and some fries on the side,
and got stuff to go, just for the ride.

The Braddocks were paying, so everyone had fun. Then they realized they had
to run. Max Braddock got out his gold Mastercard, which he'd swiped from his
mommy, who was never really on guard.

They paid the cashier, and got on the plane, and Ray flew home, cause she
was still sane.

Beth Summers sat quietly polishing her gun, while Nick Summers laughed at
her just for fun. Beth shot him with a telekinetic blast, and he shut his
mouth very fast.

They landed the plane without a sound so no one would no they'd been flying'
round.

They went to their rooms, and turned out the lights, and got into bed and
said goodnight.

Pete Wisdom stood in the door, his soft laughter filling the air, no one
said a word, they didn't dare.  "I know wot you've been up to," he said into
their rooms, "with anyone else, you'd be doomed. But I won't say a word, I
did the same thing, so be reassured.  They're all piss drunk, they don't
know. They'll never find out if you don't let it show. So get some sleep,
and when you wakeup at dawn, they'll have such horrible headaches, they'll
never guess wot went on."

The children thanked Pete, and curled up in bed, and that's really all there
is to be said.

Rachel: We never did that Doug!

Doug Jr.: So? It was still fun to write, happy holidays to all, and to all a
good night.

Happy Holidays!
