STORY:::: During the next two chapters, Winter Romance 3 is currently going on.

Chapter 31
Valentines Part 1



Everywhere Todd went the in the mall was covered in hearts, cupids, and gaudy large couple pictures. Normally Todd would have rolled his eyes and grimaced at all of this, but instead he was giddy. For once in his life, he had a girlfriend on valentines and he was going to make sure everyone knew. Although as he walked passed the jewelry he slowed, now he had to figure out what to buy her for Valentines. His phone beeped for a text message from Pietro he busted into laughter. It as a picture of Pietro, Fred, and Tabitha grimacing with Lance arguing on the phone in the background of the photo. Obviously Lance and Kitty were having a fight, their first one in a very long time. Another picture came in with the same three grimacing even more and Lance turned to yell at them, Wanda rolling her eyes as she walked in the background. This was his new background photo, it needed to be.

“So apparently vere going to dinner?” Todd jumped as a familiar German accent came out of nowhere.

“Damn it,” said Todd, his chest pounding, “Does everyone just enjoy scaring me, yo.”

“Possibly,” said Kurt with a shrug, “But… dinner?”

“Yeah, Candy talked to me about that,” said Todd, recalling Candy’s gleeful declaration of the Valentines date.

“This iz going to be awkvard,” said Kurt skeptically.

“I mean it won’t be that bad… We’ve hung out,” said Todd as the two continued standing in the jewelry shop.

“Ja… and talked civilized,” said Kurt nodding in agreement, “But…”

“We’ve never done it with the girls,” said Todd, “Candy said dinner…”

“Same as Amanda,” said Kurt, “Ahk, vhy can’t ve just eat in.”

“Order some pizza… play some video games, it’s be perfect. We can avoid any arguments and disagreements… even if something comes up we could just easily change the subject,” said Todd.

“Or teleport,” said Kurt, Todd nodded in agreement, “So any plans then.”

“Do we do fancy or casual?” asked Todd, looking at necklaces.

“Fun or traditional,” said Kurt looking at rings, “Last year ve vent zip lining in ze Danger Room.”

“Sounds shady,” said Todd, “I’m thinking something romantic, yo.”

“Candlelight,” said Kurt, “But not too much az it’s a double date.”

“Stars….” Said Todd, “Nowhere near the X-Mansion.”

“Nor ze Brotherhood house,” said Kurt, “Simple dinner, not too much.”

“Picnic at the Planetarium?” asked Todd, Kurt beamed.

“Perfect,” said Todd, “Now I just gotta get a gift.”

                                              -------

Valentines morning was chaos in the Brotherhood house, which very little of it had to do with the current holiday. Todd had started off being the first one downstairs and enjoying his favorite game of tossing cereal and using his tongue to catch it, he’d only missed one. It was shortly after that, the chaos had begun. Wanda had come in angry, something that wasn’t as common now a days. Apparently Pyro had attempted to serenade her this morning, Todd had shaken his head in disappointment; serenading Wanda was so two years ago.

Shortly Tabitha had walked in, and had been in a good mood, but it was fading with every phone call she answered for the other housemates. Fred was irritable because everyone was taking over the kitchen and they were out of milk again. Lance’s temper was slamming a few doors and cabinets before taking a call from Kitty, which by the sounds in the hall, was not going well. Then there was Pietro, who apparently woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

“This, Toad, is all your fault,” glared Pietro, yanking the door of the fridge open, “Where’s the milk?”

“What’s my fault, yo?” asked Todd, he glared, “Don’t blame me for someone’s midnight pancakes.”

“I didn’t hear anyone complain when you all ate them,” said Wanda, glaring at her tea.

“No… I’m talking about that hellion she-demon,” said Pietro, brow furrowed.

“Hey, Toad is responsible for Mystique,” said Tabitha casually as she poured some coffee.

“I’m talking about Kiki! She’s gotten even more annoying after your little ‘chat.’ Also, I can’t even sleep. She’s plaguing my nightmares!” groaned Pietro.

“That is weird… no one has nightmares,” said Fred sarcastically, Wanda smirked.

“What happened, you woke up screaming,” asked Tabitha, “And sounded like you fell out of bed.”

“It was so messed up. She showed up at the Brotherhood house,” said Pietro flopping in the seat next to Tabitha, “One moment she was just talking and then she turned all evil and then threw a jellybean at me…”

“…. Jellybean?” muttered Fred looking towards Wanda, who shrugged in puzzlement.

“Then the jellybean turned into a baby,” said Pietro, there was a murmur of horrified agreement.  

“You as a father is terrifying,” said Todd with wide eyes, he mentally thought of a mini Pietro running around and causing chaos with Pietro, he and others shuttered.

“So we were raising the baby… Kiki just vanished to take over the world or something,” said Pietro.

“Whose we? You mean us?” asked Wanda indicating the four of them and then to Pietro.

“Hell no,” said Todd, Fred nodded, Tabitha shrugged.

“Anyway so our son has powers like my father,” said Pietro, his eyes going wide as he told the story, “So he’s a baby and he starts making all the electrical go crazy and the dryer tries to eat Wanda…. Everyone’s getting electrocuted because he keeps shoving a fork in the socket and surging the house. Then like Kiki shows back up with this blonde chick who dump off a little girl, whose apparently mine… She starts mind controlling people…. Then the baby and her after leveling the house and nearly killing us decide to take over the world…. They do and they unleash a virus that causes mutant powers to take over their bodies and either destroy them or turn them into unkillable zombies!”

“…….”

“That’s it.”

“Oh my god Pietro,” scoffed Tabitha, “What the hell.”

“I know it was really messed up,” said Pietro, “Your fault Toad.”

“It is not Toad’s fault that you knocked up a crazy psycho and we ended up raising you illegitimate demon spawn,” said Fred, shaking her head.

“It’s a good thing we were there, he let his own son stab a wall plug with a fork… Can someone say social services, yo,” said Todd, glaring at Pietro.

“Then you father another one, and a GIRL no less,” said Fred in horror, “How are you going to raise a daughter when you have no respect for women… thank go were there or she’d end up with no morals at all.”

“I can see why it was a nightmare…. Those poor children,” said Todd, looking deeply at his box in somber.

“Then you let them go conquer the world before their even in school,” said Tabitha, looking at the ground sadly, “Fore shame.”

“You should at least wait until middle school for world domination,” the all jumped as Magneto walked in and got coffee.

“Yeah, I’m never making pancakes before bed again,” said Wanda in horror as she took a drink of her tea.

“When did you get here, father?” asked Pietro.

“Right after bringing the gifts that were on your steps in and walking in on you letting my grandson shove a fork into an electrical socket,” said Pietro taking a drink of coffee, “I came to see if Mystique was in.”

“She’s gone, “said Wanda, “What gifts?”

“Some say Pietro… but I am curious about yours Wanda… Apparently your dating Pyro?” asked Magneto, his brow furrowed, “I think we need to talk dear.”

“I am not dating that lunatic!” Wanda jumped up and stomped into the living room.

“Where are you going, your toast is going to get cold?” asked Fred as Wanda ran towards the living room.

“I want to see what he got me!” she yelled from the living room, Magneto and Pietro hesitated and then followed.

It wasn’t long before the rest migrated in to see Magneto had wondered off, Pietro holding a stack of love letters, and Wanda standing in front of a giant bear and box of chocolates. Pietro read through all his in a second and from the look of horror, most were probably from Kiki. Wanda looked at the life-size bear with a mixed expression; Todd, Fred, and Tabitha exchanged an agreeing look. Part of Wanda wanted to like it and the other part was angry… it showed.

“Guess you’ll have to put that one next to Toad’s one from the other year,” said Pietro, tilting his head to look at the bear.

“Yeah, his is big but yours was better quality,” said Tabitha, Fred nodded, and Todd agreed.

“I spent six hours making mine,” said Todd.

“Yeah but could you fit in it, mate?” the bear sprung to life, everyone yelled, Pietro screamed, and a panicked Wanda hexed the bear through the living room window.

“Oh my god,” said Tabitha, cringing before joining Fred in running to go check on Pyro.

“He would have made it to the street, save for the tree,” said Pietro, regaining himself.

“Thank god I went to the bathroom before that, yo,” said Todd, clinging to the ceiling, the house shook causing him to fall, “AH!”

“Ahck!” Pietro yelped as Todd landed on him, the sounds of heavy steps graced the stairs.

Lance stormed down the steps, his face red with anger, mixed emotions on his face. He momentarily paused as if wanted to take in what was happening and comment, but instead he yanked the front door open. The sound of tires squealing could be heard along with yells in the distance. Todd and Pietro got back up and looked at one another and shrugged; Wanda was still trying to regain her demeanor.

“I think Avalanche and Shadowcat’s wedding is off,” said Magneto walking in from the hall, “The fight was pretty ugly.”

“How do you… were listening in?” asked Wanda, Magneto didn’t make eye contact, “Your as bad as Pietro!”

“I picked up the phone to make a call!” Magneto tried to defend himself, following Wanda who went to check on Pyro, “I’ll let you know the phone bills are in my name!”

“Ohm is this a bad time?” asked Candy leaning in the open door a second after Wanda and Magneto exited; she looked to be trying not to dwell on whatever was happening in the lawn.

"Ohm?” Todd looked at Pietro, he wasn’t sure but he thought it might have been his turn in dealing with Lance and Kitty drama.

“I got it,” said Pietro, “I’ll go get more details from my father and fix it before Valentines is over.”

“Thanks, yo. It’s been a while, I’m not even sure how do deal with it this time,” said Todd, Pietro nodded and zipped off.

“Lance and Kitty are fighting?” asked Candy with a raised brow, avoiding the broken glass.

“Yeah, no big deal…. It’s just if we don’t intervene… it’s hell around the house,” said Todd, giving her a kiss.

“That’s so sweet you guys care about your friends so much,” said Candy with a warm smile.

“Sure… yeah… that’s why we do it,” said Todd with a half-smile, “Why so early?”

“Actually… Amanda and I were talking, and we had a great idea, ” said Candy, Todd paled.
