Hot Fun In The Summertime ((Hellions!))

[jubilee]

Date-Saturday June 25, 2011

Being a teenager is difficult. A lot of changes to go through physically and mentally. Dealing with acne, hormones, discovering hair in places there was none before, figuring out just who you are as a person and where you fit in in this crazy world. Yes, Adolescence was tough but how about we throw in a gene that gives you superhuman abilities and can alter your appearance? Hostility and hate thrown your way over nothing you had any control over? The lives of mutants everywhere, but fear not mutant kind because you have the Hellions and X-men. Two teams of young students trained to save and protect those who hate and fear them. Laying your life constantly on the line to keep the peace between human and mutant kind did get quite stressful for the young heroes. That was just it, they were young. Teenagers. Some of them not even of legal age yet, but were on the battle field day to day. Most teens would be hanging out at the beach or experimenting with crystal meth in their mom's basement, but not the students at these two institutions. Most of their time was spent combating bucket headed geezers who manipulate electromagnetism and Jesus freaks who labeled them the spawn of Satan. It seemed a bit unfair. But in the end, they were still just kids and they needed to unwind and relax just like normal teenagers and young adults. Though the X-men's version of fun involved activities such as group trips around town, going to the movies and hanging at the pizza parlor, the Hellions had their own way of unwinding...

"Nori! Careful with the keg! That beer didn't buy itself you know!" Jubilee cried as she slid her shades from over here eyes and back to the top of her head. Why she was wearing sunglasses at 7:45 in the evening, no one really knew since the sun was almost done setting and the blistering heat had transitioned into a mild and breezy summer night. Perfect time to get a BBQ and some shenanigans going. Not to mention, she finally got the chance to sport the new yellow bikini she had purchased the other week. "Seriously! Be careful. That is a lot of beer to waste."

"Yeah, you can shut up, because you didn't even buy the stuff!" Noriko responded as she slid the keg over onto one of the tables of the pool deck and straightened up the blue hat worn to match her blue bikini.

"If anything I should be the one nagging since I funded this little event." a white bikini clad Monet spoke as she adjusted herself in her designated lounge chair for the evening with drink in hand. The alcohol, the food, the Slip n Slide...none of this wouldn't have been possible without m-"

"Weknow!" the two asian girls loathed in unison. A typical smug smirk curled upon the lips of the hellions 'Ms. Perfect and know it all' as she stirred the cubes of ice around that chilled the Bahama mama within her glass. "In any case, I wouldn't have contributed if I didn't think that this was a good idea. Who's running the grill again?"

"Logan said he would. Don't see any of the boys here yet." Noriko said setting a metal clad hand to her hips. "You'd think they'd be on time for free food and booze."

" And boobehs!" Jubilee as she gave a tug to the string of the japanese teen's bikini top causing it to come undone. "A little too early for girls on wild, isn't it, Nori?"

"Jubes!" Noriko screamed as she reached behind herself to tie her top back "Seriously, grow up!"

"Oh, don't be a stick in the mud! Loosen up a bit!" Jubilee replied poking out her tongue. "Side's I figure if the guys saw some tatas, they'd get here faster so the fun could begin."

"Then show them yours!" Noriko retaliated by snatching off the chinese teen's top completely. She looked down at the yellow cloth in the grip of her gauntlet and smirked. "Go ahead Jubes. Start jumping and call their names."

"Nori!" she screamed wrapping her arms around her chest. "Not cool! Give it back!"

"Catch me first." Noriko laughed breaking out into a sprint around the pool deck and waving the yellow top with it's owner in tow arms folded and chasing the blue haired teen.

"Juveniles." Monet sighed shaking her head as she sipped from her glass.

Logan was on the scene a moment later, hurling his white vest at Jubes. "For God sakes Jubes, put that on until you get your top back." he yelled from a minor distance before picking up the wrapped meat he had placed down to take off the vest. He wasn't adorned in a swimsuit, had opted for his cowboy hat, (formerly) a white vest, and his jeans and boots.

Making his way to the grill, he wouldn't trust any of the other Hellions to make some BBQ. Wrapped meat in one hand and a six pack in the other, sure they had a keg, but he hated those little plastic cups. The Canadian born Hellion took a moment to fire up the grill, the good Ms. Frost certainly got a shiny one, better then what he'd have worked with in other places. So with that heating up, he popped himself open a cold drink, it hit the back of throat well. Reaching into his back pocket, the Canadian took out a small silver tin, from within he pulled out a cigar. With the Zippo in his front pocket he lit up, smoke in mouth, beer in hand, grill heating up. "Not a bad set up at all."

[chance]

Chance was psyched about the party. He got into his swim trunks, grabbed a football and took off to meet up with everyone. He didn't even bother with a shirt, it was going to get lost somewhere anyway. Life was good for the summoner. He had a great girlfriend, good friends and fun times. He had money to burn and the time to burn it in. The only damper will be if Cessily showed up. He couldn't explain it, but he couldn't stand that girl. Maybe it was because she all shiny and metallic, who knows. He didn't like her, but he couldn't overtly be rude to her. Julian would kill him. Besides it was fun tormenting her with what she'll never have. Maybe he was a bit of an asshole after all.

The young man came jogging up to the group just in time to see Jubes try to disrobe Nori. "Hey! You need to wait until everyone is here before you start doing that shit." He shook his head and tossed the football over by the keg. Chance grabbed himself a beer and headed over towards Logan. "Sup? What are we having anyway?" Blue eyes scanned as he looked for his girlfriend. Definitely the most special girl in the whole damn school.

[Echo]

Maya awkwardly walked up to the pool area in her boho cover up . She was by far the most covered up at the pool party the Hellions decided to throw. It was a nice gathering so far. Jubilee and Noriko were chasing each other around and then Logan was at the grill. A broad smile formed on her face as she caught the glance of Chance looking for someone in particular. Hopefully it was her.

The girl walked over to him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before speaking. "So I see the party has started already. " she smiled as she stole a quick sip of his beer.

[keller]

Julian Keller moved towards the Party grounds with a pace making sure not to be too late, but also bore a hint of leisurely grace that was designed to keep him from hopefully arriving too early and having to help set anything up. Life at the Academy hadn’t been exactly smooth sailing for the teen so far, having to deal with both the adjustment phase to a new home and the constant threats that seemed to surface every five minutes, so a party was more than a welcome break. He’d chosen just to keep his outfit for the evening pretty simple , just wearing a dark green pair of three quarter length shorts and a basic black t-shirt emblazoned with a green pattern. He wasn’t planning on swimming, more interested in the boozing and unwinding section of the festivities, but it should prove to be an interesting night either way.

He’d successfully convinced his closest female friend, Cessily, into attendance, too, so that wasn’t to be missed, either. The girl really needed to get out more, she was practically a recluse, so hopefully this evening would show her that she could still have fun despite the somewhat unfortunate sides of her powers hovering over her head.

The blue eyed telekinetic user frowned as the familiar form of his pseudo-nemesis, Noriko Ashida, burst into view as he neared the site, knocking him out of his reflective thought train. To say the pair were on rocky ground since their first meeting would be something of an understatement, and both practically lived to ruin each other’s day. Already he was forming a snide salvo to unleash upon the electric blue haired girl, only for it to be completely robbed from his mouth as another familiar, less clad figure stormed out after her. Needless to say the frown quickly vanished, replaced by the characteristic Keller smirk and a high pitched wolf whistle. “Looking good, Jubes! Glad to see you dressed up for the occasion!”

[mercury]

Awkward was how Cessily was feeling at the moment. She wasn't sure she wanted to be here, but Julian practically dragged her. The silver skinned girl was in a pair of shorts and cami top. She had on a strapless, pink bikini underneath her outfit and she was barefoot. Her red hair was pulled up into a ponytail and silver eyes scanned the area. Julian wasn't there yet and he was the only reason she was here. Well, one of the only reasons, but she wasn't going to think about the other reason, not right now.

As her eyes landed on Chance she cringed because his eyes found hers at the same time. The look he gave her was enough to make her want to turn around and run. He didn't like her, and she didn't know why. He didn't think she belonged and he didn't mind letting her know, when Julian wasn't around of course. Quickly she turned her back and went in search of a beer. She was going to have fun and that was that.

When she turned around is when she saw Julian and she waved at him. She wondered if he caught the look Chance had given her, but the guy now seemed preoccupied with his girlfriend. Thank god for small favors. She held up her beer in salute to Julian, letting him know that she was there.

[nori]

Nori continued to make laps around the pool deck with Jubilee's top in her grasp. Finally deciding that she had embarrassed the other asian enough, she finally came to a halt and tossed it away onto the ground. "Should probably tie that thing on a bit tighter next time." The blue haired teen then folded her arms behind her head and started to stroll on over to claim one of the lounge chairs. Her eyes shot over staring momentarily at her telekinetically gifted rival. The prick she met her first attempt to get help for her powers here at the academy and instead of taking her to Emma, he told her she needed soap and to get lost. Rich snobby bastard. Just thinking about it made her want to dash over and deck him right across the face. But despite her little show with Jubes, Nori did consider herself the more mature one and never provoked Keller unless she was just returning the favor.

"His royal ASS-ness has decided to grace us with his appearance. Joy." with that she started to move towards the chairs and taking a spot on Monet's right side grumbling under her breath. "I think my mood has been spoiled a bit." she sighed tilting her hat down.

"That's nice. Now don't spoil mine with your pent up resentment/budding attraction to him. " Monet replied as she adjusted her Gucci shades and took another sip of her drink. "Can't continue to blame him for what he did. You looked atrocious that day we finally brought you back. Thank god you clean up nice. Ugly people make me sad."

"..."

[Wolverine]

Logan watched the madness unfold....and to think....alcohol was being added to this equation. It was...just a little bit shocking. To make it even worst, most of the girls present, with the exception of Maya and Monet looked like it would take nothing but a single blue alcopop to being falling around and giddy.

The Canadian looked up from under his hat when Chance came over, as the food was starting to be added to the grill. "If it comes from a pig or a cow I'm grilling it, you want something else, grab it from inside." he informed, from bacon to burgers they had it, but the chicken and other meat was inside. Logan popped a claw, an excellent way to remove meat wrapping.

[chance]

"Pigs and cows work for me, man. I'm good with that." Blue eyes flicked towards the grill and Chance grinned. Logan was the best griller of the group, but then again, not many of them had ever worked one before, so it was a good thing he was working the grill. A smile touched his lips as his girlfriend showed up. The young man leaned into the kiss and nipped her bottom lip. "Jubes is here, of course it has."

Once more his eyes canvassed the area and he let out a low groan. "Why did she have to show?" His words were spoke under his breath since he spotted Keller as well. The blue orbs landed on Cessily "I'm a bore" Kincaid and they rolled to the back of his head. He could see no valid reason why Keller had adopted the shiny girl, all he knew was that she was a real bore at the parties. Never doing anything. It wasn't like she could anyway. He shook his head and sighed, then dipped Maya and kissed her again.

[Multiple]

Well Jamie had been looking at college applications all morning and holy crap he was tired off it. Due dates, though, were crawling closer and he couldn't put it off anymore. So, with a few slaps to his chest and there were enough to get to work. Hell, he'd tried to do it all himself and he was, technically, still. Just about four at a time. He smirked to himself and looked outside, smelling the grill and checked his watch. "Shit!"

"We're late."
"We can't keep being late for things, Jamie. It looks bad on us."
"Oh fuck that! Who cares if we're late? Not like they would have waited for you."
"... I wish I could go to a barbecue."

Jamie rubbed his temples at the bickering of his duplicates. He headed downstairs in the same ol' wifebeater and board shorts look that he'd been wearing during the days since the summer started. He looked around as he rubbed the back of his neck before heading to get a drink.

[Echo]

Maya turned her head when she saw that Chance looked upset at something. It was the silver girl, Cessily. Echo didn't know her or why Chance disliked her, she seemed pretty nice to Maya. Just as she was about to say something, Chance dipped her back and kissed her again. She giggled and waited to be level again before speaking.

"Maybe she just wanted to have some fun?" Echo smiled while walking over to the ice cooler to grab her own beer. She knew that she'd be able to drink through about a case of these before feeling anything, but that wasn't a good idea for now. Plus she didn't want to miss anything with Jubes and Noriko drinking too.

[keller]

Julian likewise blanked his self-proclaimed nemesis as past her, flashing a quick smile and a wave at Monet as he carried on towards the alcohol. Apparently the raven haired woman was viewed as an arrogant rich drama queen, a sort of ‘Supergirl meets Veronica Lodge’, although Julian personally couldn’t quite see it himself. In fact if anything she reminded him of the people back home in California, something that probably allowed the pair to get along so well.

Digging out a beer from the icebox he glanced over at his closest friend, his face breaking into a genuine grin. “So, having fun yet?” He asked, completely missing the whole heated looks of contempt passing between the quicksilver-esque girl and Chance as he took a pull on his beer. Of course he had noticed something was going on between the pair lately, and he was pretty damn sure it wasn’t of the flirty kind of something, but the Californian had yet to narrow it down enough to put his finger on what exactly. “A lot better than staying in your room and moping, right?”

[mercury]

Cessily held the beer, and only took a sip from it as she watched the shenanigans going on around her. Her goal to ignore Chance, or rather have Chance ignore her, was going to be easier to accomplish with Maya and Julian around. She just hoped the little bastard didn't corner her again. The last time they had all been invited to a party she had been excited about it. Then Chance found out she was going and he cornered her in the hall before she could make it out the door. Needless to say, she skipped that one. Which was probably why Julian tried to get her to come to this one.

Her head turned when her friend spoke to her, and she smiled back at him. "Just got here. They are entertaining though, aren't they?" She rolled her neck a bit and looked up as Jamie joined the group. If she could breathe, she'd be holding her breath about now and her heart would be hammering a mile a minute in her chest. She cleared her throat and waved to Jamie before looking back at Julian. "The day is still young. However, I have a feeling I'll be the only one to remember anything that's gonna happen tonight. I'll do my best to nab any unwanted pictures. Mmkay?" She grinned and winked over at him. Since she couldn't get wasted or high or any of that other stuff, she didn't become quite as uninhibited as the rest of them. But as she said the day was still young, maybe she'll join in, even if she is stone cold sober.

Merc grinned at Julian and then grabbed a beer from the cooler and made her way over to Jamie. "Hey. Welcome to Hellions Gone Wild. My name is Cessily and I'll be your designated, face palmer this evening." She flashed a quick grin and held up the beer. "First one's on me."

[jubilee]

"Thanks, Nori." Jubilee replied bitterly as she snatched her top from the ground. What a nice way to start the party, her being the butt money of the group and entertainment at her expense. Boo. She stomped away back towards the Academy entrance holding Logan's vest over her chest with one arm while the bikini top dangled from her other hand. Once she was decent again, she returned a few minutes later, this time wearing a plain white T-shirt to prevent any more exposure that evening...that wasn't of free will anyway. She wandered back over towards the grilling area, standing next to Logan watching the meat sizzle and brown.

"Burgers and hotdogs, but we've got steak and porkchops too, right?" she asked.

[Wolverine]

"Sure do." Logan informed while giving the meat a little jab with a toothpick, even if he knew it would be a bit longer before they'd be ready, still, the toothpick was left hanging from his mouth a moment later, it wasn't a total waste. He tilted his head to face Jubes, nwo more suitably covered up then when he had emerged from inside.

"Why? You want some?" he asked, if she did she'd have to wait, he was getting a few of these up and served before pulling out the other stuff. "Do me a favour and fetch me one of those beers would yea? A bottle, not some plastic cup from that keg." Sending Jubes to fetch him some beer, classic.
