"Are you sure you don't want to join us, Nate?" Domino asked as she and X-Force went out the door to see a double-feature movie.

Cable said, "I'm sure. Go. Have fun."

Domino said, "We'll be back in about four hours, if we don't come back then. We could be kidnapped."

"Okay."

As the door closed, Nathan Summers looked out the window as the car drove off. For the first time in a long time, Nathan had the X-Mansion to himself. The X-Men were off at a mission. X-Force was off to the movies.

"What should I do first?" he wondered as he wandered the empty house. He grinned evily as he rushed to the kitchen and poured out a cup of coffee. "Hmmm ... maybe I could ..."

He walked out of the house and into the boat house where his parents, Scott and Jean, lived. He took out the keys Scott gave him and unlocked the door. He entered the house looking around anxiously. He went to the bedroom and saw all of the various items. "Let's see, ruby quartz sunglasses, ruby quartz goggles, hmmm ... glow-in-the-dark condoms in the drawer." A bizzare picture entered his mind. He put the condoms back inthe drawer and saw a CD. "Oldies Rock n' Roll?" He carried the CD downstairs and went to the mansion.

He wandered up and down the mansion trying to find something to do. He wasn't interested in practicing in the Danger Room. He went back to the kitchen and got some more coffee. He decided to experiment a little with the various brands. He took out all of the various flavors of coffee from the plain roasted to the mocha chocolate and stirred them all together into a fliter and created a super jolt of coffee. As the coffee brew, he looked at the TV's listings and muttered, "Nothing on."

Finally the brew was done. He took out a coffee mug and poured the coffee in and looked in. "Bottom's up." he said as he drank the coffee. He felt a strange stiring his entire body. "WHOA! That is one strong cup of joe."

He felt all jittery and he ran to the various X-Men's rooms. In Bobby's room, he found a tie-dye kit. He eagerly read the instructions and decided, "Why not?"

He took the kit to his room and look for something to tie dye. According to the instructions, he needed something white. He didn't have any plain T-shirts. He took out his pairs of new underwear. "Perfect." he said as he took out the dyes and began to tie dye his underwear.

As he allowed the dye to soak for a while, Nate went to his room and cleaned his guns. It took him less time than usual since he had been using his guns less and less frequently. Everyone thought that he couldn't give up the guns. He heard about bets on when he will use the guns again. Scott and Jean believed him to be able to give up the guns. Nathan will prove them right.

Nathan went back to where he was dyeing his underwear. He pulled it out. The underwear was a bight yellow and red colors. He put it into the instant drying device Hank uses to dry his fur. "Groovy!" he said as he took off his pants and put on the underwear.

He put his clothes back on.

He lay on the couch. He turned on the television and all that was on was the history channel. He watched for a while and turned it off when the section on predictions of the future came on. "Been there done that." he said as he got off.

He took out the CD and put it on. It played ...

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain,

"Oh yeah." he said as he started to move.

Too much love drives a man insane.

He began to wiggle his hips. He didn't hear the car driving up the driveway.

You broke my will, But what a thrill.
Goodness Gracious, Great Balls Of Fire!

He lost himself in the goove and began to move the small objects around.

I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny,
You came along and you moved me honey.
I changed my mind, This love is fine,
Goodness Gracious, Great Balls Of Fire!

He felt hot and he ripped off his shirt. Domino and the other X-Forcers watched. "Ten bucks say that he will take off the pants." Roberto whispered.

"You're on!" Sam whispered back.

Kiss me baby,
Ooooooh! Feels good!
Hold me baby,

Cable wrapped his arms around himself and did a self-hug.

Girl, You let me love you like a lover should.
You're fine, So kind,
I would tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine!

Cable ripped his pants off telekinetically to reveal his bright tye-dye underwear for the world to see. Everyone gave Roberto ten bucks. Tabitha immediately shielded her eyes a little.

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs,
I'm really nervous, but it sure is fun.
Come on, baby, You drive me crazy!
Goodness Gracious, Great Balls Of Fire!

He moved his body all about. He started to wiggle his hard butt to the window. Tabitha peaked a little and said, "I wish I had a camera."

Well, kiss me baby,
Ooooooh! Feels good!
Hold me baby,
I want to love you like a lover should.

He posed for a second and wiggle his hips.

You're fine, So kind,
I got to tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine!

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs,
I'm really nervous, but it sure is fun.
Come on, baby,
You drive me crazy!
Goodness Gracious, Great Balls Of Fire!

Domino motioned to the others to enter the house. They crept in as Cable ran to the floor and skidded down on his knees.

Goodness Gracious, Great Balls Of Fire!

Then, he heard some applause. Nathan turned his head to see X-Force standing there applauding. Rictor and Domino had an amused look on their faces. Tabitha was sheilding her eyes. Shatterstar was just staring. Roberto and Sam's jaws dropped.

Nathan grabbed the nearby blanket and flung it over his waist. "How long have you been there?"

Domino replied, "Oh, since you started to move the objects around."

He scowled and said, "Don't ever tell another soul about this."

"Yes, sir." Sam said as he looked away grinning.

"I mean it."

He walked off. Not before he heard laughter. He wished that he could time travel to before he did this to warn himself.
