Uh, permission granted I guess. Have fun! The person who parodied my
Rescue Rangers fanfics (http://www.vii.com/~monsoon/rrfanfic.html)
never asked for permission, so I guess you're okay.

Perhaps I'll go with that as a title, since I'm rewriting the story to
not be quite so fanboy-ish. *NOTE* There will be some major snippage,
so if you didn't catch the enitre parody the first time around, tough.

Especially when it's the mind of *this* teenager...

I'm afraid that I missed the lemon reference. Care to fill me in?

That's all I ever asked for in the first place.

No, I just looked up her stats before writing. Her telepathy by
itself isn't enough to get into Monsoon's mind.

Until reading this about 3 or 4 times, I couldn't for the life of me
remember what that metaphor was. It was something along the lines of
"Her voice was enough to make a gay fag go straight." Understand that
I wrote this, and I turn off the radio whenever Elton "Faggot Boy"
John comes on. NOTE: Any and all flames about my views on/against
homosexuality will be ignored.
> <That's it!> Xavier snapped to the other X-men <The child DIES!>
"Child?" I was 19 when I wrote this. I didn't consider myself to be
a man yet, but a child? Guess that stemmed from anger...
><Just because this Romeo wanted to bring seven suitcases for a two-day
>stay, does _not_ mean I'm playing bellboy.>
Two day? At this point, my character wasn't aware that it'd be two
days. He was under the assumption that he'd be moving in for at least
a couple months.
> "And so another Barkely is born..." Beast noted.
Uh, it's spelled Barclay. Of course, I wouldn't have put in as many
Star Trek references if I wasn't a hardcore fan at the time.
> <No Sabertooth, you can't eat this one either.>
Feh. I made Monsoon powerful enough that Sabretooth wouldn't have
been any trouble. Well, a little trouble.
> <'Dat boy better leave me 'lone> Remy thought angrilly. <Rogue done
>tol' me what he did, an' I ain't lettin' no half-grown pup-dog...>
I was trying to be friendly, and this is the thanks I get? <sigh>
> <I can no kill that one, ne?> He checked with Xavier.
Not on your best day, Cajun Boy.
> <Oh mah God. Ah'm gonna be sick...>
Eesh. I guess that *was* a rather cheesy pick-up line.
> <'Ah'll be more'n happy ta' help...>
I'd like to think She'd like me a little more than that...
>I find it difficult to talk to you while you're wearing that
>swimsuit."
> **********
> <Thinkin' wi' de wrong head, ne?>
You know us typical teenage males. Cajun must know better than most,
since he still acts like one.
> <'Lest not'n _this_ FanFic..>
That remains to be seen...
> <So 'Ah've gone from bein' a tradin' card, to a beloved pet?>
Not what I meant at all. "Treat(ed) right" to me means that you don't
lead the girl along like a certain cajun who shall remain nameless.
>Rogue was nearing meltdown.
> <Or jus' an 'spensive tradin' card, ne?>
If it were a choice between my Beta Mox Ruby and Rogue, I'd take Rogue
any day.
> "'Dat is de _last_ time I let dat one live, you hear me Xavier?"
>Gambit cursed, far from quietly.
Yeah, yeah. Bring it on, wuss.
> "Oh, sorry. I keep forgetting that I'm, like, totally

> **********
> <He forgot?>
Of course I/he did. He's just starting to get used to this whole
mutant power thing. That's why he's at the school.
>(5) You wanna read it, go find the original, I refuse to reprint it.
Fortunately for all of us, I reprinted it for you. Just for the sake
of completeness, it can be found at

It should be known that most of this response should be taken with a
large dose of dB-) and some sympathy for a fanboy in the process of
rehabilitation.

nonono, its CXa...@cerebro.edu.. or maybe
Charle...@X-Mansion.cererbro.edu.. or hmm, anyone else got any
suggestions??

A lemon is a reference to a Japanese Animation (anime) fanfic
that has sex in it... of course that's almost _all_ anime ;]... Sorry, I
started out in the Ranma 1/2 fanfics, so I didn't know that the term was
not widely used!

Sigh. Well needless to say my views are not the same, sorry 'bout
the editing, but I wasn't comfertable reprinting it...

Well, that and Xaiver is pushing 2000 ;)

Ah, yes. The X-men were only planning on him hanging around for a
day or two, what they _told_ him was something compleatly different... ;]

ACK! I _knew_ I got that wrong... A billion apologies ST:TNG
peoples!! (Star Trek : The Next Generation) Don't kill me!! <eep!> ;]

Actually she was ticked at Xavier, your charactor just happend to
get caught in the middle.. ;] (such times as try men's souls ne?)
