Room 324: Tuesday Afternoon
Jamie was sitting in his room studying.
No, really.
Okay, he was reading Maxim. Just the articles. Really.
Unfortunately his concentration was interrupted by the phone ringing.
"Taco John's. Home of the beeftastic burrito."
"Stop looking at porn and pay attention. It's important," Layla replied. "Time to save the world."
"First of all, it's not porn," Jamie replied. "It's the ten most seductive scenes and movies and there's not a nude picture in the bunch. And secondly I totally saved the world last month. I'm taking a break."
"You got yourself locked in Doom's dungeon and that was totally an assisting thing," Layla pointed out. "Plus that was just saving a town. This is something for all mutantkind."
"It doesn't involve me dressing up like Little Red Riding Hood, does it?" Jamie asked. "Because that's more of Guido's thing."
Layla sighed. "No. It's about the first mutant being born since M-day."
"Um. Layla, I know you know everything, but there was this witch called Wanda and then she said 'No more mutants' and-"
"I know the story," Layla cheerfully interrupted. "And now it's a whole new ball game. Get packed because we're going to Texas to visit Forge.
"Forge? What's he going to do for us?"
"You're going to the future, dummy," Layla chirped. "There's a ticket waiting for you at the airport that leaves tomorrow afternoon. I think you'll like Texas. Maybe we'll go on our honeymoon there."
"Stop saying things like that!" Jamie shouted. "It creeps me the hell... Hello?"
Jamie listened to the dial tone for another ten seconds before hanging up and starting to pack.
"I really can't stand that girl."
