Here's the next chapter too. It's a lot longer than the last one...YAY!

Unsure of what to expect, Pietro walked through the entryway of the dining hall to see the Brotherhood standing on one side of the table, and the X-Men on the other. It didn't look like things were starting off well. When he entered the room all eyes shifted over to him, except for Wanda's who was busy scowling at the floor. Lance waved at him and Pietro walked over to his side.

"I thought you weren't gonna show," Lance whispered, keeping his eyes on Scott who was giving him a particularly evil look although you couldn't see his eyes behind deep red sunglasses.

"Yeah, I…"

"Children! This is ridiculous! I would have thought that you would at least greet each other while I was gone," Storm ranted, waving the clipboard in her hand around as she entered the room. Her long white hair tumbled down her shoulders, and she looked very professional in her purple pant suit…except for all that makeup she always wears.

"Now, a seating chart was made to solve the problem of sitting in your usual groups. We are all in one group now, under one roof, so it's best if you start getting used to each other." Storm decided to ignore everyone's groans of protest, and started to read off the seating arrangements.

She started over by the chair on the edge of the table, "Rogue you sit here." Rogue silently sat down in her chair keeping her eyes on the table. All the staring was making her uncomfortable.

"Wanda, right here," Storm said moving to the next chair. Pietro was surprised; this wasn't a bad idea. With all the negativity between the two of them he figured they would get along just fine.

"Kitty, come sit here," Storm pointed to the seat next to Wanda. Kitty was wearing light denim jeans, and a red long-sleeved knit shirt. Pietro glanced at Lance and saw that he was longingly staring at his ex-girlfriend. It was obvious to Pietro that Lance still had feelings for her even though he would never admit it.

"Pietro, next to Kitty."

Pietro didn't dare to look at Lance as he made his way to his seat. When Pietro sat down Kitty looked up at him, and he gave her a small smile, only to get an angry glare in return. Pietro tried to remember what he had done to her to deserve that look. The only thing he could think of was ages ago when he was arrested and she and Rogue had saved him…oh. Pietro mentally punched himself for being such an asshole. That wasn't exactly his finest hour, but now he realized in that one glare that had so much hatred behind it that there was no way he was going to be able to make friends with this girl. As he was thinking someone took the chair beside him. Pietro looked up to see Kurt sit down beside him.

'Great,' he thought, sighing softly to himself. This was going to be tough. Soon enough the six seats on Pietro's side of the table were filled as Scott took the seat next to Kurt. On the other side of the table Storm sat Jean in the seat across from Rogue, and Toad in the seat next to her. The two of them were complete opposites, and just sitting next to Toad was making Jean nauseous; Pietro could tell from the greenish hue that had swept across her face.

"Auntie O! This is so wak!" Evan whined from his seat. Storm had seated him in between Toad and Lance. There were murmurs of agreement from the other X-Men, but Storm silenced them with one icy glare.

"The professor thinks that the best way to keep the peace while we are all living together is to forget past rivalries. You need to forget everything you think you know about the person sitting next to you, no matter how terrible the things they've done are," Storm said directing an icy look straight at Pietro. Pietro shifted uncomfortably in his chair under her stare.

"Think of it like you have never met each other before and this get together is a little 'getting to know you' party." Evan sighed loudly at his aunt's speech.

"Evan I don't care whether or not you agree with this, we all have to do this whether we like it or not," Storm snapped, "Now, Beast has written down some ideas for you to talk about. Would anyone like to share some of their hobbies with us?" Pietro wondered why Storm had been chosen to preside over this event; it looked like she would rather be doing anything else besides this.

"This is so stupid, everyone knows all they do is sit around and smoke weed," Evan quipped sitting back in his chair with his hands crossed behind his head. The other X-Men snickered, and Evan grinned confidently, which was funny because if he had looked at Lance it would have wiped that stupid smirk of his face in a heartbeat. Pietro could tell that it was taking all of Lance's self-control to not smash Evan's head into the table. He was getting that fierce look he always did right before he hit somebody, Pietro knew because he had been on the receiving end of that look a few times. It wasn't pretty.

Storm rolled her eyes at Evan's comment, and tried to continue, "Anybody else? Wanda, is there anything you would like to share?"

Wanda, who had been whispering back and forth with Rogue, shook her head before continuing her quiet conversation with Rogue. When Pietro noticed this he was glad that at least she had found someone to talk to. His own options weren't looking too bright; Kitty and Kurt refused to even glance in his general direction.

"Hey…" Evan said suddenly looking around the table, "Where's the fat-ass?" Toad immediately stood up and left the room. Pietro couldn't believe that he had forgotten why he had hated Evan. From his stupid haircut to his cocky attitude there was just so much to choose from, and now he had upset Toad who really didn't need any help in that department these days.

"Hey Daniels, why don't you all do us a favor and shut your big mouth?" Pietro said. How could Xavier have thought that putting the X-Men and the Brotherhood in the same room was a good idea? Evan was taken aback at Pietro's sudden outburst. It was like he thought that because they were living in his house Pietro would have kept his mouth shut.

"Oh yeah…well…why don't you…"

"Evan, why don't you just go to your room, you're making this quite impossible," Storm said while she massaged her temples, trying to fight off the headache she felt coming on. This whole thing was a disaster and they hadn't even gotten to the food yet.

"But…"

"Evan, just go," Jean said dropping her head into her hands.

"Fine! It's not like I wanted to be here anyway!" Evan stormed off to his room to think of some better comebacks. Once he had left the room, everyone sat in silence waiting to see what would happen next.
