"Remy, you had no right to say that to her!!: Sapphire exclaimed.

It was Saturday. Allie had called earlier to say she'd be home by tomorrow.

"Oui, Remy did. She--"

"She what, Gumbo? Deserved it? You know damn good 'n' well you ain't the first that's said that to her." Logan was sticking up from the teen her otherwise despised.

"As true as dat is, it don' mat'er. It was true den, true now..."

Meanwhile, Allie was at the Brotherhood Boarding House, sitting between Pietro and Lance, Pietro's arm securely wrapped around her shoulder. She already has a black eye from Mystique and a messed up knee from Lance, both not wanting, nor expecting, her back.

Her excuse? "Gambit will find me out quicker than Logan would've!"

The result? "You're going back, Smokey.."

Pietro looked down at Allie and smiled. "Come on! Let's go do something!"

"Do what?"

"Catch a movie/Jes'/ you and me!" he added hastily.

"Hey, wai' a min--" Allie cut St John off with a bright grin.

"Sure, let's go!"

Pietro stood, pulling Allie up with him. "I'll race you to the car," he challenged.

"You'd lose..."

"You're mimicing only goes so far, babe."

"Sure, but you'll let me win and I'll gloat and then feel bab and..."

He laughed. "Not this time."

"Just go already!" Lance cred, disgusted.

Pietro turned to retort and her heard the horn honk outside. "She...She cheated!"

The two went to the movies and all they really did was mess around in the arcade. Pietro, at the moment, was behind Allie, showing her how to shoot, hands over hers.

Jean and Scott were exiting their movie to see Pietro standing way too close to Allie, lips by her ear, moving, one hand on her stomach, the other on the game console. And Allie was…giggling?

"Allie?"

The slightly younger teen jumped and both turned to look at them. "Sc-Scott, Jean? Wh-What are you guys doin' here?"

"Is /he/ why you're not coming home tonight?"

"N—"

"I thought the professor said you were in the city with Warren."

"I-I was. Last night." That was true. "I just came to town, figuring, you know, I'd calmed down enough and ran into Pietro, from Gym Class, and we've been together all day." That was half true.

Jean stared at them for a moment and then nodded, not able to get a read on both of them. "Come on, Scott…"

"Wha—you're just gonna--?"

"Is Cyke jealous?" Pietro taunted.

"Not of you," he grumbled.

"Oh, poor Cyke… Still got feelings for Als?"

"Of course not," he replied, growling dangerously.

"Scott, just go," Allie said sharply.

Jean slipped her hand into Scott's. "Come on…"

As the two walked off, Allie leaned against Pietro heavily. "You two don't get along too well, huh?"

"Eh…Not really…Come on, baby, we still have places to go…"Pietro smiled and pulled her along.

While the two gallivanted along, Sapphire and Kurt were enjoying time in the pool. Well, actually, Saph was just tanning with Kitty, Rogue, and Jubilee; Kurt was in the pool, playing volleyball with the New Recruits.

"Saph, come on in!" Kurt called.

"Maybe later, Kurt…"

"So, what's this weh hereh 'bout Kurt's new gurl?" Rogue drawled lazily.

Sapphire blushed. "It's not official," she mumbled.

Kitty laughed. "Suure it's not…" she teased.

Before any of the girls knew it, Kurt teleported in, picked Saph up, and teleported above the pool, falling with a splash, Sapphire in his arms, both laughing.

As the teens resurfaces, Saph was blushing. The girls tanning had caught their midair kiss and began laughing and cheering.

Later on, Saph was in the kitchen with Kurt and Logan. She and Kurt were having a playful bicker and Logan was reading his newspaper.

All of a sudden, a yell erupted from the dormitories, including a bampf as Allie teleported in, silver eyes flashing.

"Oh, dammit Logan! I've had it with you!!" He ignored her as a crowd formed. "you had no right to go through my stuff!"

"I am your legal—"

"Legal guardian, my ass! You gave that right up the day they got married! Did you ask Remy why I'm so slow when it comes to accepting a mission or trusting someone?! Or why I don't flinch when someone comes at me? Because you were a lazy-ass father who never came to his daughter's rescue and left her to die!"

The whispers stopped and Logan looked over his paper. "Cry me a river, Smokey."

"Stay out of my life," she countered.

"I'm your father—" He raised his voice to her protests. "—that's my right."

Allie threw up her hands and stomped out, the mansion shaking as she walked.

"Allie—?!" Logan opened Allie's slightly closed door. His claws came out, looking at Pietro and Allie. "You…"

Pietro looked back at Logan, fear-stricken.

Allie's arms held tighter to Pietro. "Logan, just leave," she mumbled, pulling him back to her.

"Leave?! You want me to be a father and –"

"Logan, you're a pan in my ass, you know that? I told you to stay out of my life." Allie leaned up to gently kiss Pietro's lips and a flash of telepathy linked them together.

You're a good kisser he told her.

Learned from the best she replied, both now ignoring a fuming Logan.

"Who?"

Allie's eyes averted and she cursed herself mentally. "Who?" she repeated acting confused.

"You heard me: Who?" Pietro got up from the bed, leaving Allie lying on her back.

Allie mumbled something and Logan snorted.

"Wh-What?!" Pietro's face became red with anger. "Le-LeBeau?! Jesus! Oh, God, Allie!" He continued as he stumbled out, past Logan.

The quiet teen groaned and hid her face in her pillow. "Oh, what did I do?"

At the current moment, Kurt was driving Sapphire out to a diner.

Once seated, they ordered and began talking.

"So, Vhere are you from?" he asked.

"Well, I don't know, really. I was adopted when I was 5 by Principal Kelley. Of course, he wasn't principal then and we were living in southern Vermont. He was a really great guy, but when my mutant powers showed, he kicked me out and moved to New York." Sapphire shrugged. "Angel, Warren I mean, found me and took me to a place where I would be safe; to the waterfall.

"After that, he came by when he had the chance and told me all these stories. He brought me food and clothes and all that. He was my guardian angel."

Kurt smiled. "Remind me to t'ank him next time ve see him."

Saph laughed. "I will."

"Ah, Kelley's not that bad. But, you an' me? Ve got somedin' in common. I vas adopted, too. My mozzer, Mystique, couldn't keep me so I grew up in Germany."

"Which explains that beautiful accent." Saph's comment made Kurt blush.

The two talked a little bit more and Kurt began noticing many qualities of Saph that he had always seen in one other person. Only, he couldn't really remember who.
