Mediaeval Style X-Men: Part 7

by Lynn


I・m too sleepy and miserable ・cause of my hayfever to write a disclaimer. ::AAACHOOO!::

Princess Jubilation stood on the balcony/stage with her parents and several Lords and Ladies.

"In light of our daughters quick thinking and imagination, we have decided to make her ruler of Dreamland," said King Charles.

"Do you accept, dear Jubilation?" asked Queen Lilandra.

"I..." Jubilee had been watching the crowd. Actually, she・d been watching Wolverine who was in the crowd. She saw him leave and tilted her head. "I... Huh? Oh, I dunno, Mother, it・s a big responsibility. Ruling a country is. I don・t know if I can do it."

"That・s all right, our daughter," said Xavier. "Think about it. Give us your answer in a few days." Jubilee smiled, then ran to her room.

Beast knocked on the door.

"Princess Jubilation," he called. "Let me in!"

"Go away!" shouted Jubilee. Beast ignored what she said and came in. He saw Jubilee sitting on her bed, her arms wrapped around her knees. Her face was tear-streaked.

"What・s the matter, young one?" asked Beast, sitting down on the edge of her bed.

"H・e・s gone, Lord McCoy. And he didn・t even say goodbye," wailed Jubilee.

"Who? Wolverine?" asked Beast. Jubilee nodded through a hiccup.

"Y・es! He didn・t even say goodbye!"

"You love him, don・t you?" asked Beast.

"Yes," said Jubilee. "With all my heart." Beast sighed. This was worse than he thought.

"If you feel that way, then decline your parents gift and go find him," he said.

"B・urt he・s a commoner! Mother and Father will never let me marry a commoner!"

"Your parents will understand," said Beast.

"Really?" asked Jubilee.

"Yes, young one. We will understand," said Queen Lilandra, walking in. "We can not lose another daughter."

Another daughter? Oh-kay... thought Jubilee. Jubilee looked at her Mom, then smiled.

"Thanks, Mother," she said.

"My baby・s all grown up on me. When did it happen, and why wasn・t I there to see it?" whispered Lilandra.

"Don・t worry, Mother. I・ll make sure you have a few grandkids to watch grow up," said Jubilee.

Lynn turned around, then made a face.

"You lot are sick," she said.

"What?" said Wolverine as he ate his Cornflake and ketchup sandwich. Jubilee was munching on a sandwich consisting of sugar, chocolate, gingerbread and marzipan. There was loud ・CRUNCH・ sounds as she ate it. Angel sat eating Buffy while Buffy calmly ate a hamburger.

"You lot are sick. Except for Angel. He・s too cute to be sick. Besides, he・s a vampire so he can・t get sick." Lynn snickered at the groans that came from the 3 humans and the vampire, though it was a bit hard for him to groan with his teeth stuck in Buffy・s neck.

"How are they stuck?" asked Jubilee. Lynn groaned.

"Do you mind not doing that?" Lynn turned back to her computer, ignoring as best she could the horrible crunching noises of Jubilee eating. A loud burp echoed in the room and Lynn lay her head on the desk.

"Why me?" she asked. "Why me?"

"I dunno," said Wolverine grinning.

Wolverine sat in the bar. A pint of beer in front of him.

"She・s too good fer the likes o・ me," he rambled.

"Oh, yeah? Who?" asked the bartender.

"Her. She・s royalty. She・s deserves better than me."

"I・m sure she doesn・t," said the bartender, having no idea about what Wolverine was talking about.

Jubilee stood in the door of the bar with Gambit and Rogue. She scanned the place and located Wolverine talking to the bartender.

"She the one you・re talking about, then?" asked the bartender, pointing at Jubilee. Wolverine turned around. His mouth dropped open in shock. Literally.

"Hey, Wolvie," said Jubilee, stopping in front of him.

"Jubes?" asked Wolverine, still in shock. "Why are you..."

"You didn・t say goodbye," said Jubilee. Wolverine・s face fell.

"Yeah, well, I don・t like goodbye・s," he said. Jubilee laughed at his expression. Wolverine looked at her in hurt.

"You moron! You think I・d come all the way her just to say goodbye?" asked Jubilee. She leaned forward. "I came to do this." With that, Jubilee kissed Wolverine then pulled back. Wolverine sat in shock. Unmoving. Jubilee, Gambit and Rogue watched him for a few minutes before they began to lauph. Wolverine shook his head and glared at them.

"What・cha lauphin・ at?" he demanded.

"You looked.. haha!.. like a... haha!... statue!" The 3 of them erupted into louder lauphter. Wolverine growled.

A while later Jubilee had stopped laughing and was sitting beside Wolverine.

"Did your..." Wolverine started.

"Yes, Wolvie, they did," she said.

"They don・t care about me bein・ a commoner?" asked Wolverine.

"Commoner?" asked Jubilee. "For Ares sake, Logan, you・re a mutant. Mutants are not common. We・re the chosen of Hecate."

"Well... When you say it that way, I suppose it・s OK," said Wolverine.

"Besides, I promised Mother I・d give her at least a dozen kids," said Jubilee smugly.

"A d・ozen?!" said Wolverine, shocked. His eyes rolled up in his face and he fell off of the stool in a dead faint. Jubilee looked at him from where she sat.

"You think he took that well?" she asked.

"As well as any guy could when they find out that their soon-to-be-wife wants to have several dozen kids," said Rogue. "Which reminds me..."

Rogue turned to Gambit. Gambit paled when he saw her smile. It was the one she used when she was going to tell him something nasty.

"Remy, sugah, I・m pregnant," said Rogue. Gambit joined Wolverine on the floor. The 2 girls looked at each other in bemusement, shrugged and ordered some coke・s.

"Are you going to leave them there?" asked a voice. Rogue paled and began shaking.

"Oh, God..." she whimpered. They turned around to see Lynn standing near the 2 men.

"We thought they・d like to have a nap," said Jubilee.

"Oh." Lynn stepped over the men and sat down beside Jubilee. "Oh no!"

"What?" asked Rogue.

"I forgot to put Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Scooby Gang in the story!"

Lynn stretched, yawning.

"Finally, finished," she said.

"Why?" asked Wolverine and Gambit, pain in their eyes. "Why?" Lynn grinned at them.

"Let・s see, ・cause I wanted to get back at you, Wolverine, and ・cause I thought it・d be cool if Gambit fainted." Rogue and Jubilee were grinning.

"Good ending, sugah," said Rogue.

"Yeah. But a dozen kids? Can I give birth to that many?" asked Jubilee.

"Well, that guy in ・Anna and the King・ had over 50 kids, but then, he was a guy. So I guess I don・t really know," said Lynn.

"Can we go home now?" wailed the 2 men.

"Yes, yes. Of you go. I can・t go to sleep until you do," said Lynn. The 4 people disappeared.

"Ahh! Peace, quiet! No more horrible X-Men, X-Brats or whining villains! I thank thee, Ares!" Lynn saved the last part of her story, turned off the computer and went to bed.
