Little Prince Lost (Test Scene)
Only now did he understand what Pierre was trying to say about that damn Tiki statue in the back yard. The flash of the energy is visible from inside the house, as Braddock his ground and rolls back to his feet, awaiting some sort of trouble to begin.

Braddock LeBeau stands up and dusts himself off, hoping he hadn't ruined his best coat. Looking around, he can see the Xavier Mansion before him, but that statue was nowhere in sight. Weird, but really of no consequence. He's got to deliver the message from the Red Queen, also known as 'Mom', and get back home before dinner. She and Dad have agreed not to start arguing until desert, and he intends to hold them to it.

Slowly, he starts walking toward the first person he can see, though in the dark, he doesn't see a whole lot.

Walking the grounds was a good way to relax. It was something that Anastasia always did back at the Xavier Institute back home, and well, she did it here too.

She still missed her home. Even with Rose here with her, she felt...empty. "Dad" had been great in helping her settle in, and she was enjoying getting to know her sisters, but it still wasn't the same.

She blinked when she saw the familiar figure in the dark. It couldn't be. Her eyes must be playing tricks on her.

Still, it doesn't hurt to try and get a closer look.

"Braddock?" She asked, walking towards the person in the dark.

And there she was. It was good to see Anastasia after all the time he'd been away in Madripoor. He'd (semi)jokingly, asked her to run away with him before he left, but she'd turned him down. Of course, he'd spent the last three months thinking of new ways to get to her, and his material was ready to go.

"Well, I do declare that if I'm dead, then this must be Heaven, chere." Braddock says.

"And why are you bein' so formal, Princess? You know you can call me anything you like, so long as it begins with yours." he grins.

Cue Summers blushing in three, two...

	One. Anastasia's face turned bright red. "I thought I told you not to call me Princess," she said when words came back to her. He always was really good at making her flustered. "No, you're not dead. You're in another dimension. I've been here for a couple of months. Rose has too. It's...complicated to explain. But you'll get used to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course you told me not to call you Princess. That's why it's so much fun." Braddock grins. The grin vanishes when she mentions another dimension. "Wait, you mean like that whole thing Doctor Beast always talks about? Like a parallel world? How did you guys get here? I was coming to deliver a message from my mother to your father and I ended up here." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anastasia nodded. "The totem pole in the back. That's how Rose and I figured you got here. I was looking for Rose when I fell through." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You X-types don't find trouble in halves, do you?" he asks rhetorically.

"Well this should say somethin' about us, Anastasia. After all, you went to a different dimension to escape my charm, and I still found you. Maybe now you'll run away with me and we can stop playing this game where you pretend you don't like me." he smiles.

"And then we go home and tell our parents we're getting married. We're both royalty, so I figure your mother can't disapprove." Braddock speculates.

	Rose had been leaning out her window, when a scent wafting across the grounds crossed her nose. She figured it couldn't be, but she picked up Annie too, and hurried to check it out. "Oh, fer Pete's sake, Cajun. Don't make me turn the hose on you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And there's my other favorite girl." Braddock smiles. "Logan, if you want attack me with the hose, just ask. You don't have to play coy."

Braddock doesn't feel quite so odd as he did a minute or two ago. His friends (probably his only two real friends) are here in this new dimension. Mom is going to gut him, and Dad will likely help her, but for the moment, he at least feels at home.

"You're lookin' good as always, Rose. Ana says you were the first one to get stuck here. How are things here compared to back home?" he asks.

	"Ain't they had you fixed yet, Cajun?" Rose taunted back, falling back into the banter easily. "Not too bad," she said. "School's still all secret here, so don't go runnin' your mouth. And nobody's with who they're supposed to be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, come on now. Too many beautiful women need love in their lives, Rose. Can't very well keep me from them, no matter what dimension their in." Braddock says. He's never suffered for confidence.

"Don't tell me they're still doin' the whole cover-up thing? Ugh." Braddock says, his tone a bit disdainful. "Do they have running water here? Indoor plumbing?" he asks.

"Oh, and by the by, you both owe me a chance to take you dancin'. In fact, if one of you gets us a car, we could probably make it to Canada in time enough for some fun. Maybe even hustle a few truckers or bikers at pool. It was fun last time, wasn't it?" he asks.

	"Oh yes," Rose 'agreed.' "Who wouldn't want a piece of such a humble guy like you?" "Dunno 'bout that," Rose said. "Have to bring Joey along. Or else he might get jealous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Who's Joey?" Braddock asks, raising a brow. "Don't tell me you went and replaced me with a new admirer, Logan. I might not recover from the hole you're leaving in my heart." he says, full of mock-drama, clutching at his heart in Shakespearean fashion.

"Besides, Jesse can go without you one night, can't he? Unless he's the clingy type. And he has to learn to handle a little competition, Rose. I mean, if he's always got access to you, he won't appreciate you quite as much." Braddock says.

Yes, it makes perfect sense to him.

"Question: Does your old man like in this dimension like him?"

	"I can arrange that hole," Rose half-threatened. "He's still alive, ain't he?" she asked. "And with all his parts intact. So... maybe." "I can't believe you're already planning road trips and you just got here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Make sure when you do, that you get it right here." he says, pointing at a spot just below his chest bone. "Best artery for good, quick bleeding."

"Well, as your friend, it's my job to vet this guy and make sure he's a worthwhile..." Braddock stumbles over the next word a little, "...friend for you. So, I'll check him out and report back."

"Never let grass grow under your feet, Logan. Not even if they're cute like yours." Braddock says.

	"If you weren't so swarmy, you'd almost be cute with your concern, Cajun," Rose laughed. She arched an eyebrow. "You write this stuff yourself or you got a guy who does it for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And here I was gonna suggest ya fire 'im," Rose shot back. "Guess we'll just have to fire you. ...Out of a cannon, fer preference." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You wouldn't shoot me out of a canon, Rose. You'd miss me too much while I was gone. I saw how your face lit up when saw me." Braddock smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And there's that pretty smile." Braddock says. "We're gonna have to work on gettin' that out of you more, Miss Logan. Be prepared to be charmed senseless." Braddock smiles, the looks around. "Okay, so where do we eat? I didn't get a chance before Mom sent me on this mission." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
