Case
of th
e Miss
ing Cards
Daniel woke up due
to the excessive noise coming from the lower floors of the Institute. He
glanced over to a clock, which sat on a bedside table.
Daniel(half asleep): “What! It’s, like, 10:46!! Why do I live with these
people?”
He reached over
to the bedside table for something. He was still mostly asleep and
had his eyes partially open.
Daniel: “Where the hell-?”
He opened his eyes
to see that nothing was there, but the clock. He quickly sat up and looked
over to the tabletop.
Daniel: “What the hell!?”

Most of the X-men
were either in the rec room or gathered around the breakfast table.

Kei peered into
a cereal box. Toni sat at the table laughing while she ate her breakfast.
Kei was disappointed to see it was empty.
Kei: “Oh! It’s gone! It’s all gone!!! My world is crashing down!!”
Aki: “Try that one.”
Aki pointed to a
box on the counter, next to Kei. Kei reached over and opened it. She was
disappointed once, again and looked as though she was about to cry. Just
then, Daniel walked in.
Daniel: “Aki, did you take my cards, again?”
Aki: “No. Why?”
Daniel: “I lost my cards.”
Kei: “Don’t you mean marbles?”
Daniel: “What marbles?”
Kei(angrily): “Exactly!!!”
Daniel: “What’s wrong with you?”
Kei(angrily and dramatically): “Someone ate all the Lucky Charms in this
box and ate all the marshmallows in that
one!!!!!! I want
my Lucky Charms, dammit!!!! My world had already crashed down and now it’s
going up in flames!!!
I want my Lucky Charms!!!!!!!”
Daniel: “Um…okay! Here.”
He handed her an
un-opened box of Lucky Charms from the top of the refrigerator.
Kei(happily): “Yay!!!!!”
She ripped it open and poured some into a bowl.
Kei: “Hee! Thank you, Daniel!”
Daniel: “Now, have you seen cards?”
Kei: “No, but I have your necklace!”
Daniel: “….oh, yeah…”
Daniel left the
kitchen to question the others. He stopped off at the rec room, first.
Daniel: “Hey, have any of you guys seen my cards?”
Gwen(leaning on a pool stick by the pool table): “No. Shouldn’t you have
them? Maybe Aki has them.”
?: “I only took them once!!”
Daniel: “Wha-!”
Aki had just entered
the room and was standing behind Daniel.
Raven: “Did you check your hat?”
Daniel: “*inhale*…no..”
He walked over to
the coffee table where his red, plaid hat sat upside down.
Daniel: “Aww, dammit!”
Kei(just walked in): “You’re not trying to throw your cards in your hat,
again, are you? Speaking of cards, did you
find them?”
Draco: “No, he didn’t.”
Gumby: “What about under the couch?”
Daniel checked the
couch and found only dust bunnies and forgotten objects that had become all
gross and nasty.
Daniel(disgusted): “No!”
Zion: “What about over there?”
Daniel: “Nope.”
Luana: “How ‘bout there?”
Daniel: “Nope.”
Kei stood there
thinking to herself with her hand up to her chin.
Sparkles: “There?”
Daniel: “Nope.”
Naze: “Or there?”
Daniel: “Nope.”
Reluna: “Try over there.”
Daniel: “Nope.”
Andrew: “Here?”
Daniel: “Nope.”
Zion: “What about here?”
Daniel: “Nope.”
Draco: “Here?”
Daniel: “Nope.”
After an hour or
so….
Luana: “Under here?”
Daniel: “Nope.”
Kei(to Aki): “Could they be in his pockets?”
Aki: “Hmm…Hey, are they in your pockets?”
Daniel checked his
pockets.
Daniel: “Oh, there they are!”
