Pietro: Wow-people-really-do-love-me

Sallie: I honestly can't see why. You disappeared on me for how long?"

Pietro: *mumbles*

Sallie: What was that?

Pietro: It-was-only-for-four-months

Sallie *glares*

Pietro watched the two from the hidden corners of his some-what closed door. "He didn't want anything to ruin their friendship, not ever. "So Roguey when do you leave us?" He asked interrupting the not-couple.

"In two days." Rogue told him and glared. "An` don` call me that!"

Pietro smirked. "You know you like it."

"Pietro." Lance said glaring at him. "You need something?"

"Nope just to spend quality time with my two bets buds here." He said putting an arm around each of them. "So what do we do until two days are up huh? I say we get drunk."

Rogue laughed and shook her head. "Forget it."

"Why not?" Pietro asked pouting.

"Cause ah'd be afraid at fahnd out what yer lahke when yer drunk. It's probably worse than when yer hyper."

"We'll never know till we try right?" He said grinning.

"Your giving me a headache." Lance said shrugging Pietro's arm off of his shoulder and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Hey I'm hungry yo." Todd said as he saw the three of them enter the living room.

"Order a pizza." Tabitha said tossing him the phone.

Todd looked up hopefully at Lance who sighed and nodded. "Fine, but you had better get something normal for the rest of us."

"Whatever you say." Todd said happily as he pushed the speed dial button for pizza.

"So where's Freddy?" Rogue asked the blonde who was filing her fingernails.

"He's in the kitchen."

Rogue nodded and went into the kitchen.

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

"You two boys okay?" She asked noticing how they both watched Rogue leave the room.

"Yea-fine." Pietro said quickly.

"Yea just great." Lance grumbled.

Tabitha sighed and put down her filer. "You have to get over it Lance. I know you like her but she has a boyfriend and needless to say you have a girlfriend."

"So we'll convince her to go without makeup for a day and see how it changes."

Lance and Pietro exchanged looks and shook their head. "Not a good idea." Todd said as he hung up the phone. "Pizza will be here in twenty minutes yo or it's free."

"Why not?" Tabitha asked.

"Have you ever seen Roguey without her makeup on?" Pietro asked the blonde.

"No, she always wore it."

"Once she didn't."

"Okay I don't want to know if you boys could keep your hormones in check."

"Fred no!" They heard from the kitchen and ran in.

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

"Freddy watcha doin` in here?"

Fred jumped and spun around. "Uh… what are you doing here?"

"Ah live here."

"I was um.. Just uh.." He stuttered and rogue looked over him and saw baking sheets and cooking ingredients and gave him a quizzical look. "I was baking you cookies to take back for when you leave."

"Fred that's so sweet. Wait when did ya learn at cook?"

"School, I'm taking classes. My teacher says I'm a natural."

"Good, now we just have ta work on yer keeping tha kitchen clean skill." She said looking around at the mess.

"I'm working on that." He showed as he went to open the flour bag, seeing how it wouldn't open so easily he tugged a bit harder.

"Fred no!" Rogue gasped.
