A/N: This story won't be dark/angry like my first fic (Fiery Thoughts) but the opposite (I'm planning for funny). Will it be easier to write? Probably not, but I hope you all like the first chapter!

Snow And Fire Don't Mix!

Chapter 1

Plans

Bobby, Rogue, John, and Kitty were in the game room discussing plans for winter break.

"So where do you all want to go?" Kitty asked as the others had blank thoughts, but not for long.

"Let's go to a ski lodge." Bobby suggested. He a grinned knowing a fiery someone wouldn't like the idea.

"Oh, Hell no." John spat as he flicked his lighter.

"What? The bad ass Pyro can't handle a little snow?" Bobby mocked.

John didn't say anything. With the lighter in his right hand he held it between the middle and ring finger, lifted the top, then flicked the wheel to start the flame and pointed it at Bobby.

Bobby smirked, "I must have sparked something...he gave me the fire-birdie."

Kitty stood up, "Let's take a vote."

"All those in favor of going to a ski lodge raise your hand." Bobby said with his hand already up.

Rogue and Kitty had their hands up. John was the only one who didn't.

John crossed his arms. "That figures," he muttered.

Rogue said to her boy friend, "You have to come, John."

He didn't reply right away. "Rogue, for you I'll go." John looked at her. "It won't be my cup of iceballs," he glared at his polar opposite, "but I'll go," he finished, turning his attention back to Rogue.

"It won't be that bad, John" Kitty said.

John grinned, "Whatever, it will be nice to get away from Scott. He's always blaming me when something goes on fire in the mansion. I tell him that Bobby can't help it, but he won't believe me..." Knowing no one would understand he started to explain, "It's just a strategy I use on Scott. 'A smart ass that acts dumb.' It works on him all the time! He can't call me a smart ass when he doesn't know that I'm being one, plus it pisses him off more this way!" John continued, "Scott and I both know that I set those things on fire. After all, I am Pyro, but I still blame it on someone else. Anyway, Scott tries to figure me out, but fails, which bugs him, and that makes me happy." (A/N: I have no idea if the whole dumb smart ass thing makes sense, but I tried my best to make it work; mainly because I couldn't get myself to delete it.)

"Yeah, after he talks to you I see him rubbing his temples as he tries to calm himself down." Rogue said.

John was very pleased, "See it works! I feel much better knowing my strategy is a success."

Kitty couldn't believe what she was hearing, "Damn John you're crazy!"

"No, just trying to make Scott crazy." John replied with that irresistible smile.

Rouge wanted to hear more, "Kitty, it is interesting though...John please continue."

"I mean messing with Scott is the best! It's so easy to piss him off...I mean I do it so much he should know by now that I do it for the pleasure of having him "yell" at me. At the end of his "yelling" I have done my days work when he's all red, frustrated, sighs and tells me to leave his sight. Bobby, man, you should try it. It's my anti-drug!" John ended with a big smile.

"When you put it that way...maybe I will! You're a bad influence John, you know that?"

"Hell yeah and proud of it."

Kitty was trying to figure John out, "Why do you like to mess with Scott?"

"Honestly I really don't know...actually I take back what I said before; now I think I'll miss bugging him..."

"We'll only be gone for a weekend" replied Kitty.

"A whole weekend with out bugging Scott" John said pausing to think about it, "That will be tough but I think I can handle it."

"I'm going to start packing." Kitty walked away rubbing her head trying to understand John's tactics. She figured it was a 'John' thing and that she would never understand it. Then she thought, 'John gets bored too easily and that's his problem...unless it's just his fiery self...whatever, my head hurts just thinking about it.'

The rest followed her soon after.

-John and Bobby's room-

"Why are you taking t-shirts? Everyone is going to think you're nuts!"

Bobby shook his head, "You're right what was I thinking..."

"You never think."

"Well, why are you bringing your lighter?" Bobby replied.

"That's a dumb question...you know I bring it everywhere with me." John was getting a bit serious.

"Just don't do anything that will get us kicked out." Bobby was serious too.

The seriousness didn't last too long as it never does with them.

"There you go blaming me, and we aren't even there yet." John punched Bobby in the arm.

"Hey, you never know...especially with you!"

John was about to punch Bobby again just for the hell of it, but instead he smiled, "Thanks for the compliment. Yeah, I'm unpredictable...just like fire."

-Kitty and Rogue's Room-

"This weekend is going to be great!" exclaimed Kitty.

"John and I need some alone time and I can't have him thinking of more ways to piss off Scott during the whole trip, but I'm sure I can do something about that." Rogue smiled.

"I think he just likes to use his powers and in the process he can annoy Scott...so it's like killing two birds with one stone" Kitty stated.

"I wonder if John thinks of it like that." Rogue pondered.

"I highly doubt it; this is John we're talking about!" Kitty continued not allowing Rogue to reply as she changed the subject slightly, "I'm sure John will just be fine at the ski lodge...why does he hate the idea of going?"

She shrugged. "It's probably because of his mutation."

"Unless there's more to it..." Kitty hinted.

"I don't know...he hasn't told me anything. John will have a hell of a time, and I'll make sure of that. He'll be begging to go back next year!"

A/N: He won't be begging to go back next year or ever again. To find out why...read review and I will update ASAP.
