Shout Outs-

Needles- Yup, gayness abounds in the Grind Stone.

TheLegendaryManHimself- Yup, Rahne and Dani are so busted. If Jay is anything like his brother, he's too much of a good guy to mess with Stephanie.

Agent-G- Julian may not wish for death once Stephanie is done with him, he might already be dead.


Xavier's-

Rahne was snuggled in bed in Dani's room, waiting for Dani to finish in the shower. Then she got an idea…

'Dani, I'm feeling dirty.' Rahne said as she crept into the bathroom.

'I won't be long, sweetie.' Dani replied.

'I didn't mean it like that.' Rahne replied cheekily as she pulled the shower curtain to one side. 'Now move over…'


Later-

Rahne and Dani had finished in the shower and were on the way to the cafeteria for breakfast.

The pair was walking hand-in-hand. Rahne looked up at Dani and smiled happily, she had never felt like this about anybody before, not even Sam. Dani knew the perfect way to make Rahne squeal, in no way a man could. As much as Rahne loved Sam, or as much as she used to, it was nothing compared to the way she felt about Dani.

Rahne followed Dani over to the queue of people waiting to get food.

'I'm surprised I can walk after last night.' Dani said. 'It's lucky that the mansion has thick walls, God knows what would've happened if somebody heard us.'

'You can bet that somebody did.' Rahne replied. 'Just think of how many people here are telepaths or have heightened hearing…'

Dani bit her lip nervously. Their relationship had more-or-less come out in the open after Stephanie and Jay had found them drunken in the streets. After that, the gossip was rife in the X-Mansion. The pair decided to bring the whole thing into the open and tell everybody what was going on and much to their surprise, the others were happy for them. Okay, Bobby Drake did request that they took him to a gay bar but he soon learnt to bite his tongue when Lorna slapped him upside the head.

'Well it's nothing they haven't heard before.' Dani sighed. 'Everybody knows that Emma and Scott have hot, noisy sex in her office.'

'And in the X-Jet.' Rahne replied.

'I think you're referring to Kitty and Peter, actually.' Dani said.

'I didn't even know they were back together.' Rahne replied. 'Okay, they have been pretty snugly since he came back form the dead but I never knew they got that far.'

'Neither did I.' Dani said. 'Until I walked in on them…'

'Omigod!' Rahne gasped. 'You saw Kitty and Peter going at it? And you didn't tell me? Does every part of Peter's body turn to steel?'

'Oh yeah…' Dani replied as her eyes started to glaze over at the memory. 'Every part of his body…'

'Hey! I am right here y'know.' Rahne hissed as she swatted Dani on the arm. 'I hope I won't have to fight Peter for you, cuz I'm not big on the butch.'

'Ooh, there could be oil involved.' Dani chuckled.

'You are one deviant woman, Danielle Moonstar.' Rahne sighed, shaking her head slightly.

Dani just chuckled at that and followed the queue nearer to the counter.


After breakfast-

With the breakfast over and done with, Dani and Rahne decided to pop into Salem Centre to do some shopping. Rahne was presently dragging Dania round a motorcycling shop looking for some new leathers.

'Y'know Furtop, as much as I love you in leather, there's only so much a girl can take.' Dani said as she leant against the wall. 'Can't we sit down for a bit?'

'You were the one that wanted to go shopping, sweetie.' Rahne replied as she gave Dani a peck on the cheek. 'I won't be all that long until we buy some sexy undies.'

'I liked the look of that leopard skin thong.' Dani said. 'That would go great with that new top I bought.'

'Just black and frilly for me.' Rahne replied. 'Although I might be convinced into getting dressed up as the Black Queen.'

'Mmm, now there's an idea.' Dani smiled. 'Add a riding crop and some boots and you'll give Selene a run for her money.'

'I pity the fool that thinks themselves sexier than Rahne Sinclair.' Rahne replied with another cheeky smile.


Back at Xavier's-

Rahne and Dani had finished their shopping trip and walked in through the door to be met by an anxious-looking Stephanie.

'Hey Stephie, what's up?' Rahne asked concernedly. 'Bobby been at the sugar again?'

'Umm, no…' Stephanie replied. 'You might want to come into the rec room.'

Rahne just looked at Dani with a bemused expression. Dani shrugged in reply.

The pair followed Stephanie towards the rec room.

Rahne's eyes widened as she detected a familiar scent. Dani noticed this and squeezed her hand in comfort.

Stephanie opened the door to the rec room and led them in.

'Well howdy strangers.' Sam Guthrie said as he held his arms wide. 'Wanna give an old New Mutant a hug?'

Rahne just stared dumbfounded at her former crush, talk about bad timing.


Later-

Rahne and Dani were sat on the couch together while Sam sat opposite them. Stephanie and the other occupants of the room had chosen to give the trio a little space.

'Well, this is… well.' Dani said, struggling to find the words to illustrate her words. 'A-are you here to stay?'

'That depends really.' Sam replied. 'You two seem well.'

'You too Sammie.' Dani replied. 'Cable must be working you guys hard.'

'Yeah, pretty much.' Sam nodded. 'Berto and Tabby woulda come but they got held up…'

'Yeah, I bet they did.' Rahne snorted, slightly bitterly.

Sam either didn't notice that or chose not to comment on it.

'So you're a teacher now, and an adopted daughter too.' Sam nodded. 'Yah sure like tah keep yaself busy.'

'Stephanie's a good girl.' Rahne replied. 'She's getting along fine here. She's even got a boyfriend for herself.'

'Oh yeah, who was that?' Sam asked as he leant closer to hear the gossip.

'Jay.' Rahne replied simply.

'Mah brother?' Sam asked. 'Man, small world.'

'You have no idea.' Rahne replied. 'There's something else you might want to know…'

Rahne looked at Dani for confirmation before continuing. Dani smiled and nodded.

'I-I've found somebody too.' Rahne said. 'I think you'd be surprised…'

Sam just looked at the pair with a confused expression. Being such a good little farm boy, he was still a little naïve and didn't pick up the body language between Rahne and Dani.

A timid smile spread on Rahne's face as she took Dani's hand in hers.

'It's Dani.' He said simply. 'Dani and I, we're together…'

Sam blinked a few times as everything sunk in.

'You two are together?' He asked.

'That's what she said.' Dani replied.

'Well it's not as if ah didn't see it comin'…' Sam said.

'What?' Rahne and Dani both gasped at once.

'Well you two were always real chummy together.' Sam said. 'Ever since the old days.'

'Well we were close but we never thought it would develop like this.' Rahne said. 'Shall I tell him how we got together?'

'Sure, go ahead.' Dani nodded.

Rahne blushed slightly at the memory before continuing.

'We got drunk and ended up in bed together.'

'Waitasec.' Sam said. 'You mean to say that the sweet, innocent Rahne Sinclair I knew got wasted and had hot, drunken sex with another woman?'

'Not just any woman.' Rahne chuckled. 'It was Dani Moonstar.'

'Yeah, and this one is a biter.' Dani chuckled.

'Hey!' Rahne hissed. Swatting Dani on the arm. 'Can we not tell my ex-crush about what we get up to in bed, please? It's worse enough that Bobby Drake keeps on pestering us to take him to a gay bar.'

'If you don't take Iceman, can ah come?' Sam asked innocently.

'Samuel Zachery Guthrie!' The pair both gasped. 'How dare you!'

'Meh, ah'm not the naïve farm boy that y'all think.' Sam chuckled.

'Yeah, Tabby told us what you two got up to in the old days.' Rahne teased.

The trio just burst out laughing at the thought of their respective sexual quirks, glad that everything had worked out in the end.

TBC…
