The Soapy Suds Laundromat sat empty. The florescent lights flickered happily as a group of people came bursting into the Laundromat.

"Hey I wasn't the one who broke the X-washing machine, Pal!" exclaimed Wolverine, as he carried two laundry baskets into the room and sat them on a washing machine.

"No, you were the one who tripped and dug your claws into the X-dryer!" Cyclops sat down his own basket of laundry on a machine and turned to face a very ticked off looking Wolverine.

Professor Charles Xavier rolled in on his slamming wheelchair and got between the two men. "We have to get this laundry clean. Settle this." Then he wheeled over and began loading a machine.

Storm and Jean Grey came in. Storm was carrying a large bottle of generic laundry detergent. Jean was carrying yet another basket of soiled uniforms.

"Are you sure you got the right laundry soap there, Storm?" Wolverine asked catching sight of Storm's Always-Save soap.

"Well, at least I've chosen a laundry soap!" she said in a high and mighty tone of voice.

"Fair enough…jeez." grumbled Wolverine and he started loading a washing machine. After emptying the basket into the machine, he removed his shirt, dying to show off his chest again, and dumped it into the machine as well. Jean looked appreciative. Scott looked annoyed.

Scott went to the pop machine and got out a Mountain Dew. He took a few big drinks.

Just then Toad came bounding into the Laundromat.

"Don't you people ever pre-treat!" he yelled as he made for a basket of laundry and began licking the stains.

"Do you know what happens to a toad when it questions the X-Men's cleaning skills?" asked Storm advancing on Toad.

"They get a stiff lecture from the Always-Save girl?" asked Wolverine.

"Toad has wicked spit, Charles." came Magneto's voice as he entered, carrying his own basket of clothes. "Apart from causing suffocation, his spit is also an excellent stain remover."

"Alright, I guess we can share this Laundromat." said Professor Xavier. "Which machines do you want, Erik?"

"Can't you read my mind?" Erik said tapping his helmet.

"Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer?" Professor Xavier retorted.

"Why do you always answer a question with another question?" Erik asked.

"Why do you care?" Xavier asked.

"That's Enough! Jesus! All this tension is giving me a headache!" yelled Scott.

Erik scowled at Scott and began forcefully loading a machine with his red and black clothing.

Scott turned to Wolverine and grinned slyly. "It must kill you that a 'boy like me' ended that argument, eh, Logan?" he gloated. Wolverine didn't answer. "What's the matter, Logan, missing your yellow spandex?"

"Dude! What is it with you and yellow spandex?!?!" Logan asked.

"Well," Scott squirmed. "It was funny the first time…" He took another swig of soda.

Sabertooth walked in and stood next to Magneto.

Magneto went to the candy machine and got out a Snickers bar.

"Stay close," he told Sabretooth, "When I eat this candy bar, I'll get a temporary sugar rush. You'll be my only defense." Sabretooth looked confused as the cogs in his brain began churning. Just then Magneto's machine clicked off.

"Of all the machines in this place, I get the one that doesn't work!" Erik grumbled. "The humanity!"

Sabretooth bent over the washing machine and growled, "Spin for me." The machine didn't seem to care though, because it still wasn't working.


Then the pop machine morphed into Mystique. Scott spewed out a mouthful of pop, when he realized he had been drinking a bottle of Mystique Dew.

"Dude, Sick." laughed Wolverine, as Jean and Storm cringed. Scott wasn't amused.

"You owe me a spin cycle." grunted Sabertooth, still talking to the washing machine.

"Come on." said Wolverine, "Our clothes are washed, let's get out of here."

"But how will we dry them?" asked Storm.

"The old fashioned way…on the line." he answered. After the X-Men gave confused looks to one another, he continued. "You know, on a clothes line?" Blank stares. "Where you dry clothes with a warm breeze?" Blank stares. "Just trust me…we can use Storm's powers to dry the clothes." Blank stares. "With wind!"

"Ooooooh!" they said in unison.

"Right, To the X-Mansion!" yelled Scott, still spitting every few seconds.

Magneto only mumbled something about people who live in schools.


The End…

Or is it?

I hope this is funny…Cosmic! R/r!
