Chapter Three – Hot Chocolate
Rogue's POV
I woke up, finding myself leaning on Maximoff's shoulder. Thank God I didn't drool on him. I saw him asleep too with his headphones on. I looked down at his hand and saw Simple Plan's album (No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls) clutched in his hand. I looked over to his Discman and it was on track 7 (Addicted). I looked behind the bus and saw Kitty and Lance still sleeping peacefully. I bet they're holding hands in their sleep. Just then, I heard Pietro making noises and waking up.
"Good aftahnoon" I said
"What time is it?" Pietro yawned
"12 noon" I replied looking at his watch
"We should be there by now" Pietro said, looking outside the window
Sure enough he saw wooden plank sign that said, "Frost Mountain Campsite"
"Okay everybody, get up. We're almost there" Ivan said, waking everybody up from their slumber. The bus made a complete stop and Ivan motioned for everyone to get off the bus. Pietro got up from his seat and moved to the side for me to pass first. This time, I sort of gave him quick smile, quick enough for him to see. Pietro followed me with Kitty and Lance trailing behind him.
Everyone lined up in front of Ivan who had a girl beside him. The girl couldn't be more than 25. She had red hair that went a bit past her shoulders, green eyes that hid behind glasses and a slim figure. It sort of reminded me of Jean.
"Everyone, this is Moira Lane. She will be my assistant on this project. She will check up on the two of you twice a day. If any of you have problems or questions, just come right up and ask us. Okay. Your assigned cabins are written on these papers." Ivan said, pointing to a table with a pile of papers, "Find your paper and your cabin number will be written there"
I went towards the table and so did everyone else. I found ours and went back to Pietro who had our stuff. I looked at it and Pietro looked over my shoulder.
Mr. and Mrs. Maximoff
I cringed at the heading but continued looking over the paper.

I finished reading it over and so was Pietro. I heard him snort at the "1 bed (no funny business). I began walking towards the cabins, looking for cabin number 12. I found it and motioned for him to follow me. I walked on the soft snow and grabbed the keys on the hook, I found outside of the cabin. I unlocked it and opened the door. I went inside more, to give Pietro some space to drop our stuff.
"Wow" he remarked
"Ah know." I replied looking around
"Well, what do you want to do first," he paused, "Mrs. Maximoff?"
I looked at him and he had on this goofy grin. I playfully smacked him on the arm. I didn't know he had the guts to say that. This project must have gone to his head. I turned to him, allowing myself to play his little game.
"Well, dahling. Ah don't know. How about we unpack?" I said, scrunching up my face
I can't believe I said that. I cannot believe I said that. Someone hit me on the head. He looked at me and had the same grin. I wanted to wipe that grin off his face. I grabbed my duffel bag and headed inside the bedroom. Sure enough, there was ONE bed. I turned to look at him.
"Don't trah (try) anythang funny while we're sleeping" I snapped at him, "Or tha glove's coming off"
"Whatever you say, m'lady" he bowed down to me as if I was some queen
"Knock it off" I told him, pulling him up by his shirt to an upright position. He grinned at me again and I rolled my eyes at him. I dropped my duffel bag and started to unpack. As I was hanging up a few of my clothes in the closet, I noticed that he wasn't doing anything. I sighed and looked at him.
"What? Y'want meh to unpack fo' you?" I asked him, exasperated
"No" he smirked at me again, "I'm just waiting for you to finish up"
I turned back around to continue my unpacking. I left my other stuff inside the bag and went inside the bathroom. I placed my shampoo in the shower and toothbrush and toothpaste by the sink. I could hear Pietro's "speed packing" and I suddenly felt a strong wind against my face. I knew it was Pietro rushing in and our of the bathroom. I went outside and decided to go outside and find Kitty.
"Where are you going?" Pietro asked me
"Ah'm going to fahnd Kitty" I replied
"Well, I might as well find Lance" Pietro said, standing up and following me out of the door. I asked people if they know which cabin belongs to Kitty and Lance. A lot of them didn't know. So I decided to go to the main office and go look at the bulletin board. I found the name, Mr. and Mrs. Alvers, on the paper posted on the board. Cabin 10 it said. I found Cabin 10 and was about to knock on the door when my "wonderful husband" beat me to it. Lance opened the door and saw the both of us standing.
"Hey Kitty! Rogue's here!" Lance yelled inside
"Is that the way to treat a lady, Lance?" Pietro said, smirking at me
Lance shrugged, "How's you and your wife?" Lance asked, turning to me and grinning at Pietro, who was kind of laughing to himself
"Good. We just finished unpacking."
"I'm here!" Kitty finally appeared by the door, "Let's like, go Rogue!" Kitty said, ecstatic and pulling me by the arm, "Bye honey!"
"Bye sweet heart!" I heard Lance yell back. Lance nudged Pietro on the ribs and Pietro looked at him as if he was crazy
"What? You expect me to call her in a pet name? She's not a dog, Lance" Pietro said, shrugging. Lance folded his arms across his chest
"I know that! At least say goodbye to her."
"It's not that simple Lance. You know I can't do it"
"Yes you can! I can do it!"
"Of course you do! You and Kitty get along! Me and Roguey don't mix well" Pietro said, frowning at Lance
"There! You can start by calling her Roguey!"
"I called her Roguey because you started calling her by that name"
"So? She never heard me say that though. Only Kitty did."
Pietro sighed, "Fine. But I'm telling you, it won't be easy"
"Hey, wanna grab a cup of hot chocolate?" Lance asked, changing the subject
"Honey? Sweetheart?" I raised an eyebrow at Kitty who giggled and almost tripped
"Lance and I agreed on it. So like, how are you and Pietro doing?" Kitty asked me
We were headed for the café uphill. Kitty and I rode the lift uphill to the café. It will probably take us a few minutes to reach the top. A lot of people were also going to the top.
"Ah don't know. All Ah know that this ain't gonna work out fo' tha both of us. Living togetha in one cabin will probably cause havoc." I said, looking down, careful not to rock the chair, "How's you and Lance?"
"We're like, doing great! He was like, jumping around literally when we arrived at the cabin. We just finished unpacking"
We got to the top and immediately got off the lift when it reached above ground. We walked towards the café and I pushed the glass door open. We walked inside, trying to find a seat inside. Then suddenly, I noticed a familiar glint of silver. Pietro.
"C'mon. Ah know where ta sit." I grabbed Kitty by the arm and dragged her towards the table where Lance and Pietro were. Lance saw us and told Pietro.
"Well, look what the Kitty dragged in" Lance said, laughing to himself. Kitty heard him
"Like, shut up Lance" she said, jokingly
"Or maybe, look what the Rogue dragged in. A Kitty" Pietro joked as well. I didn't say anything. I released Kitty from my grip and the both of us sat down beside our "husband". Lance kicked Pietro under the table and Pietro's face scrunched up. Surprisingly, Pietro placed an arm around me. I heard Kitty gasp and giggle at the same time.
"Hot chocolate?" Lance asked Kitty
"Sure" Kitty said, "I'll come with you"
"Rogue?" Lance asked me
"Yeah…whatevah"
"I'll get it for you" Pietro offered. Lance turned around and gave Pietro a "you-stay-there-and-I'll-get-the-drinks-myself" look, "Never mind"
"Lance…are you like, up to something?" Kitty asked, giggling and giving him a suspicious look
"Who? Me? No…" Kitty looked at him
"Yeah right"
"Fine. If you want know, but don't tell Rogue. I'm setting her and Pietro up so they can get along and –SMACK-," Lance slammed his fist on his palm, "They'll get together"
"What do y' think yo' doing?" I asked him, folding my arms across my chest
"Placing an arm around you"
"And why are y' placing an ahrm (arm) around meh?"
"Because you're my wife" Pietro said, leaning towards my face
"We're back" Lance said, handing out hot, steaming mugs full of hot chocolate
I stood up and grabbed my mug and went outside to stand and drink my beverage out in the cold. Pietro followed me outside, with his mug as well.
"Roguey?"
"What do y' want Maximoff?"
"First of all, stop calling me by my last name"
"What am Ah s'posed to call y'?" I snapped
"Try, Pietro"
"Right…Pietro, what do ya want?"
"Since we are partnered for this project, we might as well get along. Don't you think so, Roguey?"
"Get along? Pietro, can y' see? We aren't even making progress! We aren't getting along! Unless yo' really serious about this project" I told him
"I am serious about this project. It might be my grade of the year. We are supposed to hand in a full report. If we don't work together, both of us might get an "F". I know you don't want that Rogue. You already got a "C" in your midterms."
I sighed, "Fahne. Ah'm doing this fo' yo' sake…Pietro" I said
I walked away from him, headed towards the lift downhill. I reached the ground and went back to the cabin. I went inside the bedroom, took off my trench coat and hanged it inside the closet. I threw myself on the bed and hugged my pillow. I removed my gloves and let my hands feel the soft and smooth surface of the pillow.
