***********************************************

When Kitty got home she went straight to Evan's room. On the drive home she had Jean ask Logan if he could move a t.v up to Evan's room for her. With some blackmailing, he agreed. She phased right into his room and saw that Evan was having trouble getting from his bathroom door to his bed. Silly boy didn't have his crouches. Kitty restrained herself from giggling at her best friend the best she could.

"Need help?" She said, scaring him. He jumped a mile and hit his good leg off the desk making him fall to the floor. Kitty covered her mouth in surprise. She hadn't meant to spook him and make him fall. She rushed to his side and helped him to his feet and over to his bed. She giggled at him attempts to do it by himself, but she refused to let him each time.

"You know one of these times I'm going to have a girl in here and you're going to be scarred for life" He said to her. She knew he was referring to her always phasing inside his room without knocking. She giggled making him join her in with a chuckle.

"Yeah right Ev. You having a girl in here? Sorry to break it to you, but you my friend, have of yet to even get one girl that is not Jean or your aunt to step foot in this room" Kitty giggled as she got up and looked through the movies in the bag she had brought with her

"Hey! You're in here all the time might I add. And are you kidding me? The Spike-man could so get a girl. I don't see any boys staying with you in your room Kit-Kat" Evan said wiggling his eyebrows at his best friend making her laugh.

"Well, like, between you and do you think said boy would make it past, like, the door?" Kitty says laughing with her friend as she picks a movie for them to watch. It was true. Logan was protective of all the girls in the institute. Plus Evan with his spikes. That boy would be screwed.

There was a knock on the door and Kitty went to answer it. She opened the door to see Bobby and Sam, both in waiter outfits. Bobby was holding a tray with two gallons of ice cream and Sam holding a tray with a bowl of popcorn. Kitty tried her best not to laugh at the two, but let them inside telling them they could put the trays on the side table. They rolled their eyes at Kitty's failed attempts to hide her laughter.

"Amara told us we had to bring this stuff up. Jubilee made up wear these stupid things" Bobby confessed to the ghost girl. She smiled trying not to laugh and nodded. That boy could not say no to Jubilee.

"Yah, ice-boy here told Jubes we'd wear these stupid things. Boy's head over heels for the girl, been trying ta impress her since the flame guy keeps flirting wit her." Sam explained to the two. Bobby elbowed him to shut up.

"See ya guys later! Have fun" Bobby said pulling Sam out of the room. Sam shut the door after him as he was dragged out. Kitty and Evan laughed together as they shook their heads.

"Bobby's so, like, totally jealous of Pyro" Kitty said after the door was closed. Evan looked at her in surprise thinking she was wrong. He picked up the movie she had picked and rolled his eyes at her choice

"You got it wrong man. Bobby's being a good best friend and sees Pyro as someone who will hurt his best friend. He's just looking out for Jubilee as her best friend" Evan said, but only if he knew the second meaning of his words.

He was doing the same thing with Kitty. He was trying to protect her from guys like Pietro and Pyro. He just doesn't want her hurt is all. Sure he's liked her more than a friend but knows that all she'll ever think of him is as a best friend, but he's okay with that.

"Are you, like, kidding Ev? He's so jealous it's, like, not even funny. But he's lucky that I'm going to make time in my so so totally busy life and help him win his girl" Kitty said with a smile as she popped in the movie and laid down next to Evan in his bed.

They haven't done a movie night since the whole thing with Pietro started. It was group thing for the three of them. It died though when Evan and Pietro started hating each other. Kitty tried to keep it going, but she failed. Kitty couldn't help but feel like something was missing. She knew their classic movie night tradition wasn't the same without a certain white haired boy. Evan knew it too. He did miss his old friend, but somethings can't be fixed in his eyes. Pietro hurt Kitty in the worse way, he started hating her. It broke her, and Evan can't, no won't forgive him for that.

Bobby watched angrily as his best friend was laughing with his room mate. He didn't like the guy one bit. He didn't like that his best friend flirted with his room mate any better. Pyro was making a dancing ballerina with fire. He was making her dance on the palm of his hand for Jubilee. Big deal, Bobby thought. He had done the same thing, only with ice. Sure he couldn't make her move like Pyro was, but he would make her twirl around and sparkle for Jubilee.

"You know Drake, you could make your move to impress her. I know Jubilee so I could help" Bobby looked up to see one of his other team mates. Amara Aquila. Was she implying he didn't know what his best friend would consider impress-worthy? He sighed knowing maybe help from a girl would be better since she was a girl and one of Jubilee's best friends.

"What do you have in mind?" Bobby found himself asking her. She smirked and looked up at the two by the window then back to the boy in front of her. A plan quickly forming in her head. It was perfect. Jubilee would love it and Bobby wouldn't hate it.

"C'mon, I need to go soon so listen and listen good. Maybe take some notes while we're at it" Amara said taking his hand dragging him out of the room. Jubilee glanced over at where her best friend had been. Pyro was fun and all, but she liked Bobby more. She frowned as she watched Amara dragging Bobby out of the room. Both having a smirk playing on their lips as they talked in hushed tones

Later on that night, Blob opened the door to the brotherhood house to reveal Amara smiling up at him. She was actually nice to Fred. So when they weren't on the battlefield, he was nice to her too. "Hi Mary" Fred said letting the small girl inside, shutting the door behind her. He was the only one to call her Mary. She knew it a nick name and not because he mixed up her name. She was use to being called Mara, but Mary was refreshing and she liked it

"Hey Freddy. Tabitha here?" She asked the tall boy. He wasn't the brightest, but that didn't matter to her. She knew if she was in serious trouble he had her back. Like Lance had said at school, they all considered her family. Except Pietro though, he only didn't mind one X-Men, and it wasn't Amara

"Uh, I think so. Tabby! Mary's here!" Fred shouted through out the boarding house. Amara heard someone fall from one of the bed rooms above. That had to be Tabitha since she was the only one upstairs. She heard a thud come from the living room too as Lance's head stuck out from the kitchen. She glanced at him briefly then looked at Toad coming out of the living room rubbing his head

"I'm coming big boy, no need to yell. Hey 'Mara. How's it going?" Tabby said as she was coming down the stairs to greet her best friend. Amara noticed that Pietro was no where in sight, but didn't really care. He never liked her anyways.

"Good I guess. Can we talk?" Amara asked biting her bottom lip and looking up her best friend. Tabby nodded and lead the girl back up to her room. They all noticed the discomfort in Amara's stance and tone.

"Wonder what's wrong with Mara yo" Todd wondered out loud to the other two after hearing the door to Tabitha's door close. They shrugged not knowing Lance had a clue it had to do with Troy Carter, but wasn't completely sure. Todd shrugged and Blob and him went back to the living room. Lance shrugged again and went back to making his sandwich.

******

"So what's wrong with you Amara?" Tabby said looking in her mirror fixing her hair. Amara sat on her friends bed and sighed. This had to be bad if Amara was this quiet.

"Troy grabbed me today during school" Amara blurted out not knowing how else to tell her friend. Tabitha was seething now as she spun around brush in hand. She looked ready to kill someone.

"I'm going to blow that little twerp into next week"

"Tabitha! Tabitha, I'm alright Lance stepped in before anything happened. Once again someone had to come to my rescue because Troy scares me" Amara confessed sadly to her friend. Tabitha sighed and walked over to her friend sitting next to her

"So what? He scares you big deal. Girly have you seen the height difference? It's scary. Powers or not you need back up when he's concerned. And honestly 'Mara, I'm glad Lance stepped in." Tabitha said to Amara. Amara looked at her friend confused. What happened to her crazy best friend?

"Where's Tabitha and what have you done with her?" Amara giggled to Tabby. Tabitha rolled her eyes at her friend and laughed.

"What ever. I'm serious though 'Mara. I know you can take care of yourself, believe me. But you can't expose yourself as a mutant. God I must sound like Scott right now, huh? Don't beat yourself up over Lance coming to your rescue will ya? Who knows, maybe he likes you?" Tabby said as she walked Amara to the door. Amara started coughing in surprise as Tabitha laughed. Then they heard a thud on the other side of the door and cursing. They looked at each other and opened the door

Evan looked down at the girl next to him. She was fast a sleep and he couldn't help but smile. She looked so innocent sleeping. As much as he didn't want to wake her, he had to. He wasn't comfortable and couldn't sleep himself.

A knock was heard and the door opened. Evan squinted not being able to see in the dark. He saw that it was Pyro and sighed signaling him to come in. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he needed help.

"Professor said ya might need some assessment mate. Now Ah see why" He said looking down at the sleeping girl next to Evan. He smirked watching her sleep. She was cute when she slept, he thought to himself

"Could you bring her to her room? I would, but having a broken leg and all . . ." He trailed off as Pyro nodded and came closer to the bed. He understood and decided to give the guy a break. Plus, he didn't mind holding the girl in his arms. It gave him control. He loved being in control.

"Sure thing mate" Pyro whispered softly as he lifted her up in his arms with ease. Her head laying against his shoulder gently as she arm hung around his neck. He nodded at Evan and left to go take Kitty to her room. Evan got comfortable in his bed and closed his eyes to go to sleep. His eyes only stayed closed for at least a minute before a cold breeze hit Evan making him shiver.

"Wow-and-I-thought-Toad-was-too-trusting" A voice said breaking the silence. Evan jumped up as pain shot through out his leg. He rolled his eyes seeing who was his intruder. Of course he would show up.
