I hate typos! . I just reloaded chapter three for three heavy mistakes, writing she instead of he, and making Regina and her dad say Toad! Oh well, it is corrected. Thanks for the reviews, here come the shout outs!

Red-Angel-Wings: I just re-read it and I was mad, I fixed it up though, it wasn't meant to be that way, I put it there by mistake. She'll be meeting the BoM in the next chapter, I feel sort of sorry for her, but she and Fred have something utterly in common so maybe she won't have too much of an issue with him

The Uncanny R-Man: Pietro hits on everyone, but that's happening next chapter. Its fun to answer the phone like that unless it's the wrong person...then its not fun at all

Annikask8s2005: Yeah, it's true. Regina is very abrupt. Hopefully she loosens up with Toad a little more.

Sevish: Awe! Reggie thinks you're cool too. Now she has a big head, anyway, I'm glad you liked it. You might not like her in this chapter; she acts funky towards our favorite amphibian, I don't know why she (or I anywho) act like that...girls are weird

Possom2009: Finally! Yes, it was a typo and it's fixed, I'm sorry! Regina is going to the hood in the next chapter! I want to think up some fun stuff to happen and I was too rushed to do it in this one. Yeah, ur fic is awesome, I'ma announce it at the bottom.

Agent-G: I didn't know Red Witch had any, I'll check it out soon, I'm glad you like it. It's awful hard to write a romance when you have no experience with the character

DemonRogue13: yeay! I'm glad you did! You make me so happy ^_^

Wolvies Gal 1: I just put it in my favorites and I will definitely be reading on it and reviewing! Thanks for the encouragement on their personalities, I have never really written about Toad except making him a pain in the ass so it's a little difficult making him into my little love biscuit

Scitzy: Thank you! I miss you, I'm mad school gets in the way of us talking I can't wait till Spring Break

Devil_Raptor: Thanks! I'm getting into Toad write now while I wean away from my Kitty phase, I'll be sure to read those stories too! Do you write?

Chronicles Bailey: Chap 1: Thank you ^_^
Chap 2: No...I don't even know why I put 'flabbergastation' in there!

Electric Fire: OMG! I did that to my grandma, and my church pastor, boy did I get yelled at! Better late then never!

I have more people who joined my challenge, yeay!

Possom2009: "A Tale of Two Toads" (It is awesome, and totally original since I've never seen one like this)

Sevish: "Perfect By Nature" (This one has the most surprising pairing which makes it way cool so you guys have to read it, action even from the start)

Electric Fire: "Don' Wanna Grow Up" (This one is so cool and it's sweet with one of the less used X Men)

So yeah guys read these and if I missed anyone else let me know and I'll announce it! **********************************************************************

As soon as Toad opened the front door he was met by a blonde, a brunette and a silver haired fool. He groaned as he made his way into the house. The others continued to crowd around him as he went up to his room.

"Well, what happened?" Lance finally asked. Toad shrugged as he unbuttoned his shirt and threw to a corner much to Pietro's dismay.

"Nothin' much, she liked the flowers but she looked a little pissed when she opened the door. Then she gave me some food that tasted betta then bugs, yo." The others gave him an incredulous looked and he laughed in rememberance. "I know, anyway, and then we went to the livin' room and watched a movie."

"What movie?" Fred asked.

"Austin Powers, the second one. So then she did the weirdest thing," he stopped fussing and stared at the wall in shock. "She leaned against me...she didn't move every time I sat next to her and she didn't give me nasty looks or nothin', she actually sat closer to me when she had the chance."

"She what?" Lance asked shocked. Toad shook his head; the reality of it was beginning to fade at the disbelief from the crew.

"Hard to believe, huh? She told me she wanted to visit."

"I-can't-believe-it! She-can't-come-here! Father-would-kill-me-if- we-had-a-human-in-the-house!"

"I told her she wouldn't like it but she insisted," Toad said exasperatedly.

"Does she have our number?" Fred asked. Toad perked up.

"Nah, she doesn't! That's perfect; I just won't call her again!"

"Then good," Lance said. "There's no way she can reach us."

RING!

"Yeay! That's-for-me! Gotta-date-tonight!" Pietro said and zoomed away, a second later he zoomed back. "Toad...it's for you," he said slowly.

'What?" Toad asked as he made his way to the kitchen. "Hello?"

"Hey Todd, its Reggie."

Toad stared at the phone before speaking again. "Uh, hi, how'd ya get this number?" he asked, he knew he sounded a little grimy but he didn't know what was going on.

"Caller I.D.," she said.

"Oh, uh, so what's wrong?"

"Nothin, just bored. I figured I had your number here already and I might as well call," she said. Toad wondered what she was smoking.

***

Regina peeked around the corner of the kitchen to ensure everyone was in their room. She honestly did not want her family to catch her talking to a guy. That was suicide.

"So, how you doing?" she asked and bit her nails, she knew she was being boring but couldn't help herself, she didn't know what to say.

"Fine, I got home a little while ago," he said. Regina mentally cursed at herself for dialing his number.

"That's nice. Well I don't know much about you, so tell me," she said, being naturally demanding. She cursed some more and prayed that the earth would open and eat her alive.

"Well uh, the truth is that I don't have a family...I didn't lie but I didn't mention it either. My moms abandoned me when I was eight and I was raised in coupla foster homes. Then this lady took me and three other guys in," he finished.

"I see," she said stupidly.

"Uh yeah, what about you? Your dad's nice, he speaks English better then you do," he said and laughed a little. "But I didn't see your moms."

"Oh my mom...she's dead," Regina lied.

"I'm sorry," he said feeling sorry for touching a sensitive subject.

"Don't worry 'bout it, it doesn't matter to me," she said and sighed. "Look I..."

"I was wonderin' if ya wanted to go to the movies with me tomorrow," Toad interrupted. Regina looked at the phone and smiled, her smiled deepened into a grin. Toad on the other hand groaned inwardly when he heard a click, meaning that someone had been on the other line. The stumbling down the stared bore that it was on his end.

"Really? Well, sure," she said. "Oh shit! I got tutoring tomorrow!" Toad's face slackened and he figured the night before was a one time thing.

"Well its fine, I'll just-."

"Ah fluke it! I'll meet you at the mall at twelve, I have to go now. Can't wait till tomorrow!" The other line went dead. Toad gingerly laid the phone on the cradle and without turning around answered their question.

"She said yes." No one said a word, only a distant buzzing sound was heard then a smack as his tongue snapped out.

"This won't last," Pietro said.

***

The next morning Regina opened her closet and sighed as she attempted to find something to wear. She grimaced at her stupidity and wondered if all girls reacted that way on a da-outing with a guy.

"He smells, he smells, he smelled!" she mumbled as she pulled out the nicest things she had to wear. It was difficult to do so with such little experience. She pulled out burgundy draw string dress pants and a fitted black v-neck top; her father had bought it for her birthday. The tags were still on them. She pulled the outfit on with a pair of black diesels and groaned at her reflection on the mirror until she got a glimpse of her butt, then she smiled.

"If papi saw you now I swear the heavens would open and angels would descend singing 'Hallelujah'." She turned to see her eldest brother smirking.

"Look, ya monkey, if you say anything I'll break you into tiny pieces."

"All right, all right! Leave your hair loose," he threw in. She rolled her eyes but the second he left she pulled her hair out of her pony tail and combed out the ripples. She then poked her eye a few times as she put on brown liner. Convinced that she looked descent she stepped out of the house. School was hell until eleven.

***

Toad skipped the bath but at least brushed his teeth that morning before pulling on some 'clean' clothes. He made his way straight to the mall. He tried to find Regina but couldn't see her anywhere. 'Figures', he thought, assuming it was foul play. No surprise that he was the butt of the joke.

Then he saw her trying to pull away from two guys. They were both pretty thick and had both her arms so she couldn't do anything. She was cursing up a storm.

"Leave her alone," he said and made his way over. His heart was thumping with fear. He hated this, he didn't want to do anything, he was afraid, but he knew that she could get hurt no matter how tough she thought she was.

"And what you gonna about it Mutie?"

"This," Toad said and he spit into the guys face before knocking him in the mouth. The guy let go of Regina and pulled at the hardening gloop. The other guy was about to hit Toad when Regina kicked him in the balls. The guy cried out and Toad grabbed Regina and yanked her through the mall.

"That hurts!" he said to her, imagining the pain.

"Good," she said and they finally stopped. She looked up at him and smiled, Toad noticed that her black eyes narrowed almost disappearing when she grinned. "Thanks," she looked at him expectantly. His right foot rubbed his left foot and he crossed his arms behind his back.

"What movie you wanna see?"

***

Toad shifted in his seat and as soon as Regina laughed again he looked her way. No matter how many times he heard it, it still shocked him to his toes. She snorted. He had never heard a female snort so horribly in his lifetime.

When the movie was halfway over she had pulled the arm of the chair in and leaned back into him, putting her feet on top of the open front seat. She adjusted herself and took in a deep breath before relaxing into his chest. Toad almost stiffened (1) but managed to get himself under control, he had never been so close to a girl.

"You know, you smell way better now then you did the day I invited you to my house," she said and Toad wondered if the girl ever had something pleasing come out of her mouth. "Whatever you did you should do more often," she added.

"I bathed," he said simply and looked down at her, she looked up at him and smiled, and he grinned back, showing even yellow teeth. She wondered what color he would be if his mutation hadn't affected his coloring but then brushed it off her mind. She frankly didn't care.

Toad ignored the movie while she breathed.

***

The movie ended and it was too late for a snack. Toad realized that the day was over as they stood at her bus stop.

"Hey, um, if ya still wanna come to the house, you can come on Saturday. I could pick you up and take you back home...if you want."

"Great," Regina said excitedly.

"Good, I just wanna warn ya that everyone in the house is like me."

"What? They have an obscenely long tongue," she teased.

"Nah, they're mutants."

"Fine by me, bye," she said and abruptly entered the bus leaving Toad behind.

'We're gonna have to talk about that,' he thought and made his way back home...for a bath.
