The Things They'll Do For Money

By Blinkeee


Harry's hideaway eight o' clock...

Hank McCoy, Scott, Jean, Sam and the others walked in to their favorite bar in town. Much to their surprise their favorite table was replaced by a small stage with a TV built into the floor.

"Harry!" Hank yells.

"What?"

"What are you making?" the bars owner walked from the kitchen and sat on the stool behind the bar.

"Karoke. Wife's idea"

"Hey Scott I dare you to try it!"

"No Bobby. "

"Oh, honey I'm sure after we get you drunk you'll do anything" Jean said sweetly pinching his cheek

Two hours and forty beers divided between them later...

"Oh you!" Scott sang out pointing towards Logan, "are still the one!" Logan blushed. Scott continues to twirl and dance in the pink tutu that Harry let him borrow, arm and arm with Maggot with a matching tutu and blond wig, they did the can-can. When a different song came on they started to tango together, hand in hand and cheek to cheek.

"Oh your such a good dancer!" Maggot shouted, Logan made a noise.

Scott jumped off stage into Logan's lap putting an arm behind his neck. "Oh, baby you're still the one! The one I dream of hehehe" Scott continued to giggle.

"Whoooo!!! Everyone! Whooooooo!!!" Jean and Storm were in their own dance session on the pool table, doing the hula. In complete uniform of a grass skirt and flowers. They attracted a huge crowd of teenagers who keep throwing money at them.

"I love you!" Beast gave the unknown blond man a bear hug, and then he spotted Scott "No I looooove you man!"

"You can't have him!" Logan pouted playfully. Beast picked up Scott and walked away, Scott's legs kicked wildly as he giggled. Beast dumped Scott on the stage and took his place in Logan's lap.

Maggot took Scott by the hand and started to sing 'Ring around the pose' as they spun around in circles. Joseph came out of the kitchen with a spoon and a mop bucket on his head. He jumped on the bar and started to shout profound things at the people sitting around. Rouge also came from the kitchen wearing nothing, then went running around the bar as Gambit tried to catch her.

Bishop started to air guitar with Sam playing imaginary drums on a past out Bobby. Warren started to cry and throw peanuts at everyone until Betsy dumped a pitcher of beer over his head, then went back to her own air guitar along side Bishop.

Scott started to sing again "You bring out the *hic* women in meeeeeee! You-oh-oh-oh make my feel like a natural womeee-e-e-e-e-e-in!" Maggot joined in "The way you-oh-oh-oh-oh are mine!" Scott stopped and looked at Maggot who was looking at Logan with a Beast in his lap. Scott slapped Maggot across his face.

"OH!" Maggot slapped Scott back. They stared at each other for a second and then started to sing again. All the X-men joined in this time.

"Well he's mine!" Jean sung taking Logan by the hand.

"No mine!" Beast screamed hugging Logan tightly

"Mine!" Scott screamed from the break in the song

"Mine and Ah won't share!" Rouge teased as she and Gambit ran past them and out the door.

"That's it your gone!" Jean through herself at beast, knocking him into Bishop and Betsy.

"Hey that was muh solo ya interrupted! " Sam cried before running out of the bar.

Three shots rung out from a gun, all the X-Men turned around to see Harry's wife there "Get Out!"

"Pay us!" Scott chirped in.

"I will not! "

"Don't be such a downer Miss Hideaway!" Joseph said grabbing her hand and flinging her across the room landing at the feet of Storm.

"I'll Pay! $500 good enough?"

"No!" They shouted in unison. Bishop held his broken invisible broken guitar and stared at it with his lower lip stuck out. Betsy and Jean had taken up to hopscotch tournament.

"Take $1000! " She said flinging the money out to them.

Twenty minutes later, in the car back to the mansion..."

"Man I thought she was never going to pay up!" Robert Drake complained rubbing his bruised head were Sam hit him all through the night.

"So how much did we get Jean?" a suddenly sober Scott asked.

"Including how much those drooling teenagers gave me and Ororo, about $2, 456. That's including your little performance Scott." Jean said smiling.

"How embarassin' " Sam moaned

"You weren't the one the hadda run around in nothin' this time sugah." Rouge pointed out

"The things we have to do for money now a days!" Angel yelled from the back of the van.

" So what do you say, tomorrow same time at 'Carl's Place'?" Betsy asked
