AN: Was working on this last month a bit and it really flowed, so enjoy this quickly put out story, because I don't know if I'll get one out this fast again. Hope it makes you laugh! Thanks for reading/reviewing! Edit: TO ADD! I don't have any real prejudices against people with lazy eyes or who might "look creepy". This was just for wacky humors sake! And as to Mollys later comment about Remy being attracted to "blimps", that's just Mollys insecurities about her weight surfacing, as per usual. (I believe in losing weight for your health.) Nothing against large women or the men that love them, okay? I write not to offend, but to entertain! So if you are ever offended, I am sorry, that was not my intent.
"Guys, guys, guys!" Molly ran into the rec room where the main team was sitting around watching TV, "I had the most fantastic idea earlier!"
Jean muted the commercials.
"What's that Molly?"
Summer vacation had just started for most of the kids, so everyone was taking advantage of time off of school and a little R and R.
"Well, Remy and I were talking and I think I've got him on the edge of visiting my family back in Nevada, but I was just thinking what a great idea it would be if you could come with us. There's room there and I think everyone would really enjoy it."
"We'd like to," Jean said, "But Scott and I have mid-terms coming up next month and he wants to take me out this weekend. He says it's going to be really special."
"Okay, that's two of us out, but I know for a fact the rest of us aren't doing anything," Kitty said, "Piotr included, so he can come, right? You know, because Rogue would totally miss him and all."
To that Rogue blushed uncharacteristically, then glaring at Kitty.
"Works for me," Molly said, "We'll only be gone a little over a week, but, uh, since the Blackbird is in for repairs and everything, I was thinking, well..."
"She was thinking we could all have a nice, long road trip," Remy said, appearing in the doorway.
Little did anyone know, with those words Remy had just sealed the deal with the kiss of death.
Kitty and Kurt started checking off the list of things they'd piled into the huge X-van they were taking on the trip. It was two days later, around seven in the morning.
"Snacks?"Kitty asked.
"Check!" Kurt answered.
"Sunscreen?"
"Check!"
"Sunglasses?"
"Check!..."
"I can't remember the last time I've seen them this excited," Molly observed as she and Remy headed out the front door, bags in hand.
"I can," Remy said, "Several times, actually. Those two are never low on optimism or energy."
They quickly started loading up their stuff in one of the vans.
Rogue and Piotr came out holding hands.
"Well, well, well," Remy smiled sneakily, "Aren't we-"
"Say one word about it and I'll bury your body so deep they won't be able to find it," Rogue threatened in a quiet voice. Too quiet for Molly to hear, probably.
"...Nice weather we're having, huh?" Remy thought it best to quickly change the subject.
"Oh wow!" Molly seemed to appear out of nowhere, "You're HOLDING HANDS! That's really cute. You should do that more often. You look so adorable doing that! Don't they?"
Rogue almost had steam coming out of her ears she looked so aggravated. Remy, Kitty and the boys got in the car, leaving Molly and Rogue alone for a moment.
"Be nice to Remy and don't threaten him again, okay? He's all I've got," Molly smiled at Rogue gently.
Molly didn't threaten, but she had to get the point across. Rogue couldn't fault Molly for her protectiveness, but she was starting to understand that sometimes love was hard to find and had to be held onto tightly, lest it be lost.
"We've been driving for an hour already with no tunes. It's time for some music," Kitty said from the front seat.
Remy drove. Kitty played navigator, while Rogue, Kurt, Molly and Piotr were in the back seats of the X-van.
"Requests?" Kitty asked.
"The Beatles!"
"Britney Spears or something,"
"..." (Piotr, of course.)
"I don't care," (Rogue, of course.)
"I've got a Panorama CD in the glove compartment," Remy said. And so, they ended up listening to jazz for the next couple of hours.
Then more jazz...and more jazz...and so on. It wasn't that Remy was that persistent, it was just so snappy,
no one could really hate it. Except after three hours straight of it, things had gotten old.
At the fourth rest stop, Kurt slipped a Beatles CD into the disk drive.
Unfortunately for everyone else, Kurt _loved_ singing along. Loudly and obnoxiously.
"Uh oh, It doesn't matter what they say, I know I'm gonna love you any old way!"
It wasn't that Kurt was a bad singer. He was just _overly_ enthusiastic.
"O-kay, let's pick something else!" Remy said after twenty minutes of Fuzzy Elf-ified Beatles songs.
Molly put a pink CD into the CD-player.
"Alright, Britney-!" Kitty started to say
"NO!" Everyone, sans Molly and Kitty, protested.
"Fiiiiiine," Molly pouted, putting something else in.
Ah, Remy recognized it. Nothing like a little AC/DC to liven up a road trip.
"This I _can_ agree with," Rogue said.
They drove a few more hours, with pit stops, until coming across a small tourist trap.
The place had bathrooms, maps, grassy picnic areas, a gift shop and a huge playground for kids.
Remy and Molly sat at a picnic table entwining fingers, waiting for everyone to freshen up.
"I'm so excited, aren't you excited?" Molly looked ecstatic, eyes glittering, with a huge smile on her face. Hours of driving hadn't dampened her enthusiasm for the trip.
"I'm excited," Remy smiled, "I just hope it's not an imposition. It's asking a lot.
Having me and dragging our friends along to stay for a week."
"No, no! They said they didn't mind. I mean, they said it couldn't be a lot of us, and it's not.
And if it's too much on them, it's not like we can't afford a hotel either. It'll be fine," Molly said.
Remy smiled a little nodding. As always, Molly had faith that everything would work out,
but she was still being realistic.
Kurt and Kitty came around. Kitty, being Kitty, hadn't passed up an opportunity to shop and was carrying a few small bags.
"I tried to talk her out of it, but she was being extra stubborn," Kurt explained.
"I don't know if we have any more room for-" Molly said, interrupted by Kittys "puppy dog face".
They stared at each other for several seconds.
"It's just three tiny, itty-bitty bags," Kitty said sweetly.
"Alright, but that's it. No more stuff unless it's food or water," Molly said, trying to sound stern, but to Remy, just came off as cute.
Ten minutes later, they were on the road again.
"Did we pack water? I'm really thirsty," Rogue said.
Kitty rummaged through the ice box.
"Ice packs, fruit, lunchables, instant noodles. There's nothing to drink in here."
There was a long silence for a few moments.
"I'll turn around," Remy sighed. 'Hope that's the _only_ mistake to happen on this trip.' Remy thought.
Unfortunately, his hopes about that were going to be dashed in the biggest ways possible.
