Kitty started at their budget. �There�s no way. Not until next year at least.�
�So we raise the money some how,� Jubilee said.
�How do we do that?� Kitty asked.
�Umm we could have a bake sale?�
�Who�s gonna buy anything we would make?�
�Good point.� Jubilee looked over at Rogue. �Help us Obi wan � you�re our only hope.� Kitty groaned.
�I�m thinkin�,� Rogue said her brow furrowed in what Jubilee called the �Wolvie pose.�
�Ya know, back home whenever we needed a few more bucks, Momma would hold a yard sale. We could do that,� Rogue suggested.
�We�re doomed.�
�What�s that mean?�
�Roguey, we�ll never make enough.�
�Wanna bet? I�m sure everybody�s got some stuff they have been trying to decide whether to throw it out.�
�How do we get this stuff?�
�We ask, duh.�
�Not what I meant, Jubes. How do we get the good stuff? And when we have the good stuff, what do we do with it? And when we do have this yard sale anyhow?�
�OK, Inigo. We spilt up. You go after the teachers. Jubes takes the kids��
�And Roguey gets the scruffy looking one.�
�Who�s scruffy looking?" Logan asked, sticking his head in.
�You silly,� Rogue said.
�Oh. What�s up?�
�Planning a yard sale so we can get out of here for Spring Break.�
�You guys still going on about that?�
�Oh yeah, Disney World and no idiot mutant boys to bug us,� Jubilee said.
�So what�s that got to do with me?�
�I need to go through your stuff. Find things to sale.�
�Oh, ok. Got for it, knock yourself out.�
�Hey!� Jubilee exclaimed, �You just got off easy!�
�Well, yeah. But I get the hard job of pricing everything." Logan snickered from beside Rogue.
�Laugh it up fuzz ball,� Jubilee said.
�Hey Scott!�
�Kitty, what can I do for you?
�You know about the yard sale right?�
�I�ve heard.�
�Yeah, well we were wondering if you and Jean had anything you�d be willing to donate.�
�Let�s see.� Scott started going through the closet, handing things to Kitty.
�Umm, Scott, what�s this?� Kitty said holding a doll with a rocket booster on its back.
�Bond, James Bond,� Scott said in a fake British by way of Scotland accent.
Kitty sighed, shaking her head. �I�ve got a bad feeling about this.�
"You don�t know the power of the dark side,� Scott quipped, laughing.
�Oh gross,� Jubilee said sticking her head into the boy�s room.
�Ya need something Jubes?� Bobby asked.
�I�ve decided not to bother. It�s not that important. Really.�
�What?�
�Rogue wanted me to see if you guys had anything you didn�t want anymore,� she paused, �God, what an incredible smell you�ve discovered. Do you guys try to gross everyone out? Or just each other?�
�Well how about instead of us giving you out stuff, you clean our room instead?� John said from his bed. �We could pay you guys for that.�
�NO way.�
�Think about it,� Bobby said.
�I�ll ask �em.�
