"Y'know, I'm thinking here that we don't violate these rules nearly enough," Jubilee decided.
Kitty glanced across at the "X-men Kitchen Rules" that Bobby had put up... oh a year ago now.
"You may be right there," she mused.
"In fact," Jubliee went on, "I think that there should be a rule #51, or maybe a rule #0: Everyone must make a conscious effort to violate any of these rules as frequently as possible."
Tracy giggled.
"So, which one shall we violate today?"
"I dunno. Hey," Kitty said reading over them. "Why is Gambit's name on this so much? He doesn't even live here."
"Rogue talks about him too much? Bobby has a secret crush?" Jubliee suggested.
"And for that matter, why does it say that Hank did Dazzler? I didn't even know they knew each other."
"Who's Dazzler?"
"Oh y'know, that mutant singer who does the pyrotechnic thingys during her concerts?"
"Oh her. So either Dr McCoy and Dazzler really do know each other or Bobby's just making stuff up?"
"Right, like even half the stuff on this list has even happened. Seriously, rule #25," and here Jubliee's face turned mischevious, "accuses Rogue of doing 'something' in the kitchen and goes on to say that we have private bedrooms for a reason. Isn't Rogue like, the only one who doesn't sleep around? Well... not in public anyway."
"Well, she's not the only one," Tracy pointed out.
"Details, details. Bobby likes picking on Rogue."
"Whatever. Oooh! Let's break rule #24."
"What ones that one?"
"When cooking, please apply Occam's Fire Hydrant - ask yourself, "Would this really be better if I were to light it on fire?" and then it rambles on about the answer being no, except for Scott's grill and no ones is allowed to touch it... oh and it brings up Gambit again buying his own grill."
"Again, the guy doesn't even live here."
"I'm all for setting something on fire," Jubliee said. "Oh and if I use my fireworks we can also violate rule #1, about mutant powers not being use the the preparation of food."
"And there's Gambit's name again. Are there any rules that don't involve him?" Kitty asked. "I mean, seriously."
"Sure there are. Lots involve me. And Bobby. Oh and rule number #11b refers to the next toaster coming out of your pay packet."
Kitty read rule #11, eyebrows raised.
"Bad beahviour huh?"
"Ooh and here you are again... Rule #21 about the liquor cabinet. Apparently you helped to design the booby trap on it."
"There's a booby trap on the liquor cabinet?"
"I say we break rule #21 too!"
"And see there? Gambit's name again!"
"Dammit, Gambit gets more love than I do," Tracy pouted.
"In both meanings of the word," Julbilee grinned at her.
"Both? Oh! You suck."
Jubilee laughed at her.
"Okay, so what shall we make?"
"Hmm," Kitty said. "Well, we want something that you can light on fire with your fireworks."
"So many possibilities."
"I'm in the mood for pasta - the stove's gas."
"Hmm, this is true. I can work with this."
"Okay, well, I'm going to violate rule #1," Kitty giggled and phased her hands through the cupboards to retrieve the ingrediants.
Tracy giggled.
"Oh! We should violate rule #36a and emulate a TV show."
"Which TV show?"
"I dunno. Pick one."
"Okay, turning on the gas..." Jubliee said.
She flicked out some fireworks and the element burst alight.
"And here's the pasta," said Kitty. "And the sauce."
"Excellent."
"Oooooh! Here's one we can violate any time and have been!" Tracy said excitedly. "#43 forbids food fights."
"I like this plan."
