Chapter 6 - Our Time Now

"Layla! Lay! Wake up!"

"Go back to bed Morghan..." Layla swatted at the hand on her shoulder before rolling over.

"Layla, you idiot, WAKE UP!"

"What!" Layla asked sitting up.

"You'll never believe this!" Iris said, jumping onto Layla's bed, kneeing her in the thigh while she did so.

"What time is it?" Layla asked.

"I don't know, one or two? Same thing either way you slice it." She said. "But guess what! I guess Rogue crept out of her room and into Logans. She woke him up, and he was so surprised his stabbed her through the chest with his claws!"

"What!?" Layla asked, wide awake now.

"No, but get this! She like touched him or something and started to take his energy, taking his power till she healed herself. Nearly killed him!" Iris said.

"When did this happen?" Layla asked.

"I don't know...five minutes ago?" She said.

"Is everyone okay?" Layla asked.

"I don't know. Storm and Jean liked rushed out of the room with Logan in their arms." Iris said.

She soon went back to her bed and back to sleep. Layla laid in bed for a few moments before going to sleep as well.

Layla was just barely waking up when she someone kicked her bed. "Wake up, sleepyhead."

Layla sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked over to see Iris standing over her, munching on a piece of toast. "What now?" Layla asked.

"It's Saturday." Iris explained. Layla looked at the clock on the wall.

"And it's eight. I thought you're supposed to sleep in late on weekends." Layla said.

"I brought you toast." Iris said, handing her a piece of toast she had in her other hand.

"Thanks..?" Layla asked, but took a bite anyway, getting out of bed.

"Hurry and take a shower." Iris commanded her.

"Why?" Layla asked.

"Cause we're gonna hang out." She told her.

"And I have no say in the matter?" She asked.

"Not one word." Iris told her, smiling.

Layla sighed. She quickly took a shower and got dressed, and Iris was even waiting for her outside the bathroom. "Okay...creepy." Layla said as she finished pulling her hair into a pony tail. Iris smiled and looped her arm with Layla's.

"Lets go my amiga." She said.

They stopped in the kitchen where Iris prepared them huge ice cream sundaes. "You're not serious, are you?" Layla asked as Iris pushed the bowl in front of her "It's only, like nine."

Iris sat down next to her on the stool. "Mmm..." She said, taking a bite of hers.

"Okay..." She said, eating hers. After that Iris made her sit through a whole gory horror movie, where the whole time Layla was actually either screaming, hiding under a pillow, or trying not to barf up her sundae.

Layla screamed and grabbed the couch pillow, covering her face.

"What's going on?" She heard Bobby ask as he ran into the room.

"Oh, this guy just got his head hacked off, and Lay-zee is about to crap her pants." Iris explained, chuckling.

"Make it stop! Make it stop!" Layla sobbed into the pillow.

"Umm...okay...well any of you two seen Rogue?" Bobby asked them.

"Nope." Iris answered. Layla peered out from under the pillow to look at Bobby but ended up seeing the TV instead and screamed.

After that, Iris decided to take Layla swimming outside in the school pool. They played chicken, Iris sitting on Pete's shoulders (Layla had found out earlier that they were sort of sweethearts, and that is was funny since Pete could turn himself into a tough metal and was super strong while Iris had super strength), while Layla sat on Pete's friend, Leo's shoulders. Of course, even when Iris was trying to go easy on her still won over and over again.

"Come on, Legs! You can get her!" Leo encouraged her as she got back on his shoulders. He liked to call her legs since apparently she had super skinny legs. Layla just guessed he couldn't remember her name.

Iris chuckled and gestured for Layla to go at her again. Leo walked over to them, and Iris lunged out to grab Layla, but she ducked, wrapping her arms around Iris's waist and pulling to the left, sending them both into the water.

They changed back into their dry clothes and sat outside in the grass and ate some super cheesy and greasy pizza with Kitty. The lounged in the grass for a while before heading inside. Scott was walking briskly with Storm.

"Scott!" Layla called. He hesitated, but turned around. "Where are you going?"

"To go get Rogue." He told her, and started walking again.

Kitty and Iris dragged her back to them and they watched a chick flick, which Layla was a lot more glad to be watching that that last one. Kitty did Layla's nails before they had some dinner, spaghetti and meat balls, before they played a game of truth or dare, which quickly became a game of truth.

"Layla." Iris said.

"What, Queen Iris?" Layla answered, sarcastically.

"Have you met any cute boys here?" She asked.

"Umm..." Layla stopped to think as she leaned back into her pillow. They were all sitting on her bed. "Bobby is sorta cute, but he's been Rogue-myfied. Leo was cute, but sort of a pervert." She said, chuckling. "Plus he just scares me."

"And Pyro?" Kitty asked.

"Umm...Yeah, I guess. We're just friends, though." Layla answered.

"Your turn, Kitty." Iris told her.

"So, did you and Pyro ditch yesterday?" She asked her.

"Yeah." Layla asked.

"Oo la la." Iris said, winking.

"It's my turn." Layla, said, rolling her eyes. Layla was super horrible when it came to her turn. She really didn't have anything she was dieing to ask. "And I pass."

"You always pass." Kitty said.

"Yes, I do." Layla said. "But it's Iris's turn."

"What did you and Pyro do?" Iris asked.

"We just sat around in here and talked. That's it. Well, either we were talking or arguing." Layla said, smirking.

"What did you guys talk about?" Kitty asked.

"I don't know, stupid stuff." Layla answered.

"Like what?" Iris asked.

"It's not your turn." Layla reminded her.

"Like you were going to ask anything in the first place." Kitty said.

"Okay fine. We talked about our powers, my family, other random stuff, like you guys or Scott or something. And then we argued about how much we hated each other. And then how stupid our fights were." Layla said. "And that's it!"

They stayed up for a bit before Kitty fell asleep. Iris and Layla carried her back to her room, which was only down the hall, before going back to their room and calling it a night.

That night Layla dreamt a really strange dream. That she was in her room reading when Bobby walked in and started to ask her about Rogue and where she was. And then Bobby morphed into John, who started to tell her how stupid she was. And he started to get in a fight with her before he told her he was leaving, and Layla started to cry and beg him to stay, but he just left anyway.

Waking up with a start, her throat was suddenly dry. Creeping out of her room, she tried to go as quietly as she could to the kitchen. Walking around the school in the middle of the night crept her out, so she almost ran there. The light was off in the kitchen, so she dashed to the fridge, since she didn't know where the light switch was.

Opening the fridge, she pulled out a bottled water and unscrewed the cap, taking a huge gulp as she closed the fridge, which surrounded herself in darkness. She gulped down what felt like half the bottle.

"Why so thirsty?"
