A/N: The beginning is a little slow going but once I get the ball rolling things will heat up!

CHAPTER 3: Prom, Problems, and Hotel Parties
Rogue and Jade walked into the grand hall at the hotel. It was nicely decorated with the school's colors maroon and gold. All the tables were placed around the dance floor with the stage and disc jockey in front of everything. Jade lead the way to a table off to the side where Kitty and Lance were already sitting.
"So I see we didn't exactly coordinate colors, did we?" Jade commented referring to Kitty's pink dress and Lance's black suit.
"I made a compromise." Lance said pointing to his pink bow tie.
"I see." Jade said with a smile sitting down next to Kitty.
"So did you get the room okay? Lance and I got pictures done while you checked-in." Kitty said.
"Yep. Now, remember keep it locked up this time." Jade told Kitting referencing to Kitty's big mouth.
"Are ya gonna drink with us Kit?" Rogue asked the valley girl.
Before Kitty could answer Lance added his two cents in. "Yeah Pretty Kitty, you'd better."
"Like, maybe just a little." Kitty replied. She then turned to Lance and saying, "C'mon Lance, lets go dance. I love this song."
Lance sighed and got up with Kitty leading the way to the dance floor.
Jade turned to Rogue and smiled devilishly.
"No way, forget about it. Ah ain't dancin' out there." Rogue told the blonde.
"C'mon. I got you to come to prom as my date. The least you could is dance with me." Jade replied to the goth girl grabbing her gloved arm.
Two girls walked over next to Kitty and Lance on the edge of the dance floor (mostly for Rogue's comfort). To both of their amazement, Kitty was actually dirty dancing. Kitty had never really shown that side of herself, but then again when was the last time either Jade or Rogue had gone out with Kitty and Lance. Kitty's back was to Lance and she was bent over grinding her ass on his groin.
Jean sighed a breath of relief as Scott left to go the bathroom. She didn't know how much more she could take of him. Jean had decided to go away to college for gene therapy. She had decided not too long after that she going to break up with Scott but she hadn't found the right time yet. She was breaking up with him for two main reasons. One of them being that after she had rescued him from the desert they had taken their relationship to the next level and started having sex, and not too long afterwards Jean had a pregnancy scare. She never told anyone, not even Scott. How could she? She was "Miss Perfect." She cursed herself for being so stupid. After that she had realized that Scott wanted to marry her. She wasn't ready for that anytime soon.
That brought up reason two. She had only really been with one guy. Scott. She also wanted the full college experience. No strings attached. It's not like she'd be seeing much of Scott anyway. He had decided to go to college in Bayville. Scott had also decided to become the permanent leader of the X-men. Jean might rejoin them in time but for now she wanted to be "normal." And by "normal" she just wanted to worry about school and her career not worry about saving the world all the time from Magneto or Apocalypse or someone else.
Jean's train of thought was broken when Scott came back.
"Hey, good lookin' you wanna dance?" He asked.
"Sure," she said with a smile grabbing his outstretched hand. For now things would have to wait and she'd enjoy her Prom. Next stop, graduation from high school!
Lance slide the keycard in the slot so he and the girls could gain entrance into the hotel room. It was kind of weird to him that he was staying with Kitty and her two friends. Kitty wasn't the one who invited him to stay surprisingly, it was Jade. Lance found her to be so different than anyone he'd ever known. Though she was an X-man, she didn't judge the Brotherhood. She was non-confrontational when she saw them in school or outside school. Jade treated the Brotherhood like they were her friends off the "battlefield." On the "battlefield" she was a force to be reckoned with. It was just so strange.
Jade walked over to the table and set her purse down. She began rummaging through it looking for her phone. She pulled it out and dialed a number before putting it up to her ear.
"Hey, it's me babe. We're in the room now. Where are you?" Jade asked.
She paused before speaking again.
"Well, we're in room 115, so just knock." Jade said before closing her phone.
"So?" Kitty asked waiting on Rogue to get out of the bathroom so she could change too.
"Jacob said he'd be here soon." Jade replied.
"You, like, gonna stay in your dress?" Kitty inquired.
"Well, no. Not if you two are changing out of yours. I don't wanna be the only one in my dress. That wouldn't look right." Jade answered just as Rogue came out in baggy pants and a long sleeve shirt.
Lance came out of the bedroom section changed out of his tux. Jade was glad she got a suite. She grabbed her bag and changed out of her dress after closing the door behind her. She put on a pair of baggy capris sleeping pants and a spaghetti strap top. When she came out the bedroom there was a knock on the door. She opened it to see Jacob and his guy friends standing there.
"Hey guys. Come in." Jade said.
Jacob added on his way in, "Awe, you're not in your dress still. I wanted to see it on you."
"Yeah, well, you could've seen it on me if you would've shown up at the time I told you or perhaps taken me to prom." Jade retorted.
Jacob didn't reply but just took a seat on the couch next to his buddies.
Rogue walked over to Jade and handed her a drink.
"A screwdriver," Rogue told Jade as the blonde took it.
Jade smiled and took a drink from her cup. Tonight was going to be fun.
A/N: Sorry it took so long for the update, but school started up and I just didn't have inspiration for what I call "filler" chapters. (Chps that I have to have to set up for the good stuff.) I should get another chapter soon. Especially since work sucks and only has me working 5 days in 3 weeks. Boycott Wal-Mart please! I need to find a new job soooo bad. Anyways, thanks for reading, and if you don't mind, reviews are appreciated! Peace!
