Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men:Evolution, just myself (Molly Callum-and that's not my real name,
and any original characters/background characters that might pop up from time to time.
AN: For many of the stories now on it will be from Remy's point of view since he has developed feelings for Molly. For this story I introduce some "throw-away characters" inspired by the civilization in Robin Cooks' book, 'Abduction'. (I even use one of the names in that book, Sart.) The idea to have giant amazon women is inspired by other stuff. I figure if the original comics had aliens and stuff, my series could have this as kind of a homage. Fits right in! The backstory is that they are the descendents of two mutants from ancient times...or something like that. The whole thing is just another story to draw Molly and Remy closer, but I really enjoyed writing it. It's one of my favorite stories and I hope you all like it as much as I do. Enjoy!

"Hey Petite, wait up!" Remy ran up to Molly as she walked down the hallway. It was a few days after his rescue, but he was in high spirits. He'd fallen hard for Molly and wanted to be with her every chance he got. It may not have been love but having a new crush was just as fun for Remy. "You shouldn't be running like that. Take it easy or you'll break something,"
Molly reprimanded him. "What are you, my nurse?" Remy grinned at the thought to himself for a moment, "Anyway I feel fine. Thought maybe we could do something this afternoon if you're up for it."
Just because he _said_ they would be friends didn't mean they couldn't do things together after all. "I don't know. Mr. Mcoy said you shouldn't be doing anything too strenuous," Molly said, raising an eyebrow.
"What strenuous? We could hang out and play video games, I don't care. I just want to do something," He smiled.
'With you,' He added silently. Molly smiled. "I think you're getting a little stir-crazy. You sound pretty desperate."
"Oh, I am," Remy leaned down to be closer to her as his right hand went against the wall, "You, me and a picnic basket.
Magic time, Cherie."
Molly giggled, rolling her eyes. "Okay, we'll get out for awhile. What do you want to do?"
Remy thought about it for a moment. He snapped his fingers, "We could go to the beach. Have a picnic there. It's perfect."
Perfect for flirting and a little showing off. "Okay. I guess," Molly said slowly.
"Great. Remember to wear your prettiest bathing suit," He smiled, walking-almost running-back to his room.
Molly shook her head, "Jeez he's acting weird. Must be post traumatic stress or something."
*****************
Remy jumped excitedly hitting his doorframe. He was all energy and nothing could bring him down. He had an almost-date with Molly.
Sure, she didn't know it was a date to him, but what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her.
He threw on a white t-shirt, some swimming trunks and sandals, got a couple towels and rushed out the door.
In no time he was at Molly's door. He knocked. "It's open," Molly called out. To his chagrin, Remy saw Kurt, Kitty,
Jean, Scott, Pierre and Rahne all standing in Molly's room and all in their beach gear. "What's all this?" Remy asked.
"Well, you said you wanted to go to the beach and I thought everyone else might want to come along. They deserve it to after all we've been through," Molly smiled. "Everyone?" Remy said in disbelief. "Yeah everyone. Ororo and Mr. Mcoy are getting the other kids ready now," Molly smiled.
Remys heart had palpitations in his chest. She was just so thoughtful. _Too_ thoughtful. What had been a date was now turning into an excursion not meant for two but for the entire school! "Great," He gritted his teeth. "Yeah great idea, Remy. Thanks," Kitty smiled happily as everyone piled out of the room.
It took Scott's car and three X-vans, but eventually the entire student body of the Xavier institute arrived at the beach.
It was the part of the beach on Xavier's property, so it was private. Not a mutant hater in sight.
Nonetheless Pierre, Kurt and Megan had either worn image inducers or covered up discreetly. "Yeah-ha! Time to party!" Kurt grabbed a boogie board and headed to the surf. As everyone piled out Remy sat in the car looking very glum as his hand was holding up his head. He looked like a little boy not getting his way.
Molly went around the car and looked at him. "What's the matter? Do you want to come and play on the beach or don't you?"
Remy looked up. The sun was hitting the back of her head so that she was enveloped in light. She looked angelic.
"Oh, uh, sure. I guess I just thought, you know, it would be just us together. Didn't think the whole school would come along."
Molly raised an eyebrow, "Why would you want it to be just us? We see each other everyday, isn't that enough?"
"Well, we're friends. Friends do stuff together," Remy said getting out of the car, hoping she wouldn't figure it out. "Alright. I'll spend the day with you then," She gave him a quick half hug now that he was standing, "You probably need it after all you've been through. Poor thing."
Remy smiled. He loved the sympathy angle.
They walked to where everyone else was enjoying themselves. The sun was shining, the waves were crashing and the sky was cloudless.
Molly quickly took off the long shirt she wore over her bathing suit. It was a red bikini. Nothing special, except the owner of the bikini had gone from shy wall-flower to sexy beach bunny in no time flat. Every guy ninteen and under was staring at her. (Though Logan and the professor were also staring, but more in surprise.) "Huma..." Remy heard Scott mutter from farther away.
Remy grinned to himself. Molly had actually one-upped Jean of all people.
"AHH!" Scott cried out as jean telekineticly sent a powerful blast to his skull. "Remember me? Your girlfriend?"
She said. "S-Sorry, Jean. Sorry," Scott apologized. The rest of the boys ignored the lovers quarrel and continued drooling.
"...What? What's everyone staring at?" Molly blushed.
"Um, Cherie? How do I put this delicately. You've just become the hottest girl at the institute."
"Wh-what?" She stuttered.
"Like I told you, you've got a nice figure. Apparently even better looking then Jeans. And you're in a red bikini.
Probably fulfilling half the boys fantasies with that Carmen Elektra-meets-Pam Anderson thing you've got going on. You've even got Jamie staring," Remy pointed to little Jamie, who was grinning like an idiot and blushing.
Molly looked embarrassed and a little proud all at once. "Oh, uh, maybe I should put the shirt back on," She said,
scooping up the shirt.
"NOOOOOO!" Bobby screamed bloody murder, "Quick! Destroy it before she can put it back on, Remy!"
Jubilee smacked Bobby on the back of his head.
The group had come to a complete stand-still all because Molly had taken off her shirt to reveal her bathing suit. She wasn't sure what to do.
"Molly, just do whatever you feel comfortable with. Ignore the morons," Kitty said.
Molly shrugged. "It's too hot to wear some t-shirt. You guys oggle me all you want, I don't care. I just want everyone to enjoy themselves on thier day off. Come on Remy, let's go swimming," Molly took Remy's hand, dropping the t-shirt on the ground.
Molly got into the water. Before taking off his shirt and going into the water, Remy gave all the other guys a look of "Ha-ha! She wants to spend time with me and not you!" as they looked on at him with envy.
Remy then threw off his shirt and stepped into the cold tide as it went in and came out. Molly was shivering and her teeth were chattering as she stood knee deep in the ocean. "M-m-maybe th-this wasn't s-s-such a g-good idea-a-a."
"I got it. Don't you worry, Petite," He knelt down, placing his hand in the water.
He charged it up just a little bit. Not enough to hurt anything or upset the natural balance, but enough to make it more comfortable. "Ah, thanks." Molly sighed, getting in a bit deeper. Remy stepped in further, eventually swimming up next to her.
"Hmm," Remy looked sneaky, "Now I might just have to throw you in."
Molly giggled, "You're forgetting that we're in the ocean."
"So?" Remy said looking blank.
"So I've been practicing ocean animal morphs," She smiled as her grin seemed to be getting bigger and her face grew out slowly. Her skin started to turn greyish-silver color. She sucked in a breath and dove under the water, swimming around Remy. The next thing he knew a bottle nosed dolphin was jumping up into the air in front of him. Molly landed with a big splash. Remy laughed. Molly came back and made dolphin noises. "Nya-ah-ah-ah-ahhhh!" She squeaked in a sort of dolphin laugh. She suddenly swam away, looking back, trying to get Remy to catch her.
"Clever little minx. Uh, dolphin," Remy said to himself. He started swimming. There was, of course, no way he could keep up with her as a dolphin, even with natural agility. That didn't mean he couldn't try, of course.
Molly realized Remy didn't need exacerbation, so after a couple minutes she slowed down. Suddenly Remy grabbed onto her dorsal fin, pointing. He wanted her to pull him. She did, and to her surprise found he was pretty light thanks to dolphin strength.
After a few minutes they came up to the surface and Molly changed back. All the kids crowded up to them wanting a dolphin ride too.
"Let me rest for a while then we'll see. That was really tiring," Molly said, walking out of the ocean and laying on a beach towel. Remy sat down next to her. "Sorry if I wore you out."
"Oh, no, it's not your fault. When I turn into big animals I get tired easily now for some reason. It didn't always happen before, but I think my power just has it's limits. I must have to use more energy and concentration as I get better with using my ability," Molly was breathing hard as she spoke.
"Try and relax then. Don't worry about the kids, they're already spoiled enough as it is. They don't need dolphin rides,"
Remy said. "If they're spoiled, then that means we're spoiled too," Molly answered. "Yeah, I suppose you're right. Well, in any case, they don't need to make you push the envelope. You just take it easy," Remy said, genuinely concerned for his friend, "You want a soda or something? Are you hungry at all?"
"Oh, no I'm fine. It's funny. I thought I'd be taking care of you, but it looks like you're taking care of me," She said as she sat up and wrapped a towel around herself.
"You can take care of me if you like," He laid down on his own towel, smiling, "Oh, I think I'm still feeling a little sore and tired."
Molly rolled her eyes. "You don't have to keep up an act around me. How's your eye?"
Remy touched his black eye that he'd gotten trying to fight Sinister's minions. "Not too bad, but it's still a little sensitive."
"Hmmm," Molly said, staring at his bare chest. He knew that even with bruises he still looked amazing.
"You're drooling," Remy smiled.
"Very funny. Sheesh, how can one guy be so muscular? Your arms are huge," She poked his bicep, then putting her hand on it.
Molly was touching Remy for a change and he liked it. She had a soft, gentle touch.
Her hand went over his bicep, down the back of his forearm and ended at his open palm.
Remy stared at their hands touching, fascinated. Molly's hands were about six inches long, so it looked tiny in his own hand. He just wanted to hold her hand. Wanted to hold her. Tell her everything. "Molly I, um..." He started to say.
"Lunch is ready!" Jean called out.
"I think I just got hungry. Uh, What were you saying?" Molly said, standing up.
"Nothing. It's not important," He said.
After lunch the kids went off to explore the beach.
Remy and Molly walked around own their own. Now that they were alone with no pesky kids, Remy could flirt to his hearts content.
"Hey look! There's a cave!" Molly pointed, running over to it like she'd found a puppy. Remy strolled over.
"So what? You've seen one cave you've seen them all," Remy said in an uncaring fashion. "You're not curious about what's inside?
There might be buried treasure in there. Or maybe just some cool stalactites. Hey, maybe there's bats!" Molly walked inside looking excited. "Be careful!" Remy shouted. He groaned to himself. It was a cave with a small opening, so Molly could easily fit. Remy had to duck just to get in, and he still had to keep ducking once he was inside. He saw Molly just a few feet ahead. "Petite, this is NOT a good idea. Come on out and we'll go do something else. Play Frisbee or something."
Molly turned around and upon seeing Remy hunched over started giggling nearly uncontrollably. "Glad to see you're getting your ha-ha's at my expense," He said. "Sorry, sorry! I think the ceiling gets higher the further we go. I mean, we might as well keep exploring since we're already in here. Just hang tight for a while, okay...heheh...jolly green giant."
Remy looked annoyed, "Not funny."
"It is to me," Molly smiled.
They kept walking and just as Molly said the cave ceiling got higher the further they walked. Remy was standing up straight in about ten minutes. "Wow! It's beautiful," Molly looked around. Remy looked up from staring at Mollys butt. The cave walls and ceiling glittered like diamonds. They were actually seeing solidified calcium and fools gold, but it was very pretty.
"Great, you've seen it, now let's get out of here." Remy said. "You can go, but I'm staying," She said, continuing to walk.
"What is _with_ you today? Usually you're the last person to be so curious," Remy replied. Molly shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe being an X-Man has helped me be more curious. And, um, well, being around you. You're always adventurous. I wish I could be more like you. You're not cautious at all."
Remy smiled to himself. If she only knew.
