"You look very nice tonight." Roberto said with a smile as he met up with Rahne.

"Thanks, but does that mean I don't look nice the rest of the time?"

"Of course not, you always look nice."  The two escorted each other down the hall.

"You're gonna break your neck in those things." Star commented as she looked at the shoes Ororo had chosen.

"Look who's talking, Miss. Four-inch High-heel Boots."

"It's only three,"

"Last one standing tonight buys the other a drink.  Too bad it has to be non-alcoholic,"

"Who says it does?"

"The law, but I guess you can get around that." Ororo smiled.  "Speaking of criminals, this one cleans up nice."

Remy smiled.  "You two aren't lookin' bad yourselves, cherie."

"I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult."

"Compliment," he said throwing an arm around each of them.  "Guys are going to have a hard time keeping their hands off y'all tonight."

"Does that include you?" Ororo winked.  Remy just smiled.

~-~-~-~

When they stepped outside Jamie was standing on the stoop.

"Hey, isn't it cool?!" He pointed up towards the sky.  They all looked up.  "Star, how'd you do that?"

"I didn't."

"Um, we're not supposed to be able to see that here…now…are we?"

"Nope,"

"Maybe we should skip the club and just lay under the sky," Roberto suggested.

Rahne didn't reply.  She shifted nervously locking eyes with Ororo then Star.

"I wanna snap a few shots," Star turned to go back inside to get her camera.

Ororo grabbed her by the arm, and with out saying anything reminded Star about what she had said earlier.  Let's just have some fun before things get too serious.

*But taking pictures of nature is fun for me,*

*Come on, don't back out of going!*

"Jamie, do you think you can take a few pics for me?  You can us my camera."

"The new digital one with the real good zoom?"

"Yeah, it's on my dresser."

He dashed inside to go get it.

"Hey, are you guys—" Rogue was about to ask if they were ready to leave, but when she saw the sky she stopped.  Sam was behind her and had the same reaction.  "Wow."

"Is that—?"

"The Aurora Borealis?  Yup."

"It's beautiful,"

"That it is,"

Star handed the keys to her Hummer to Remy.  "Don't really feel like driving."

Remy leaned close towards her so that only she would hear, then asked, "Are you sure y'all up to this, cherie?"

She looked at him noting that his question was plural.

"She's been having problems with her powers, the other one has been really nervous lately, and you…"

"Don't need a recap."

"If it's a secret between all of you, Remy don't mean to interfere, but he's starting to worry," 

The look on his face was so sincere.  She was happy that the rest had caught up with them before she would be forced to come up with something to tell him.

"I still feel uncomfortable with showing this much skin," Rogue said adjusting her outfit.

"Ya look great,

"And no one can even tell that that necklace is keeping you from putting anyone into a coma."

They all piled into the Hummer and left.  Unlike Remy, Roberto, Rouge and Sam didn't seem to sense a problem with the other three girls.  And they weren't about to fill anyone in on it, even Remy.

~-~-~-~

The evening was going fine.  Jean's car load of people was the last to show due to Amara having a fashion emergency.  They all seemed to be having fun. Everyone danced and talked.  Ororo was having a blast.  Rahne and Roberto barely parted from each other.  Star managed to get a few drinks without being ID-ed.  Tabitha was being her wild-child self.  Rogue was loosening up and starting to relax about accidentally touching anyone.  All seemed well.

~-~-~-~

"I'm glad you decided to come tonight," Roberto smiled down at Rahne as they danced.

"Me too," she couldn't help but to blush a little.

"So, I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime, just the two of us?" 

Rahne didn't know what to say.  They had gone out many times, but always with at least a couple of friends.  Now he was asking her out on an actual date.

"We can catch a movie, have dinner," Roberto was throwing out ideas.

"Sound's great." She smiled back at him. 

~-~-~-~

At one of the tables Ororo, Star, Jubilee, Sam, and Bobby were taking a break from dancing.

"I'm glad you're feeling better." Jubilee told Ororo.

"This morning I was just tired,"

"I'm tired of early morning training sessions." Bobby said taking a drink.

"This morning's session wasn't really that early."

"Yeah, but Monday's is supposed to be at four."

"Oh, you gotta be kidding,"

"Nope."

"Hello," Star answered her cell phone.

"Did anyone hear that thing ring?"

"It's on vibrate," Star said before returning to her phone conversation.

"Where did you have it?" Bobby asked with a grin.

"How long do you thing it will be before…and where is it now…over…"

"I thought that bad reception was caused by the connection between one phone to the other, but it sounds like Star's having bad reception.  She hasn't finished a complete sentence yet."

"More than…how many..."  She ran her free hand through her hair.  Ororo was watching wondering who she was talking to and what the heck about.  "Can you meet me back at the institute?"

"Wait, you're not going yet!"

"Okay…in about an hour and a half…thanks…bye."

"Who was that?"

"Forge.  He's helping me out with something."

"Well you don't have to work on it tonight,"

"Some important test results and new research just came up."

~-~-~-~

"Rahne are you alright?" Roberto asked looking down at the red-hair.

She had stopped dancing and didn't seem to be listening.

"Should we go sit down?"

The room was spinning and she didn't feel to hot.

"I…I…" she started to say in a weakened voice but collapsed before finishing.

"Rahne!" Roberto caught her before she hit the floor.

~-~-~-~

"Star," Ororo looked over at her.  "Your nose is bleeding again."

"Rahne's passed out," she said getting up in a hurry.

"What?!" Ororo got up and was right behind her.  The others got up as well.

They made there way over to where Roberto was holding the girl.

"What happened?" Jubilee asked a little shocked.

"We were dancing and she stopped and just collapsed!"

"Let's get her home,"

~-~-~-~

The Professor checked her out and didn't find anything seriously wrong with her so she was put to bed in her own room.  It was over an hour before she came to.

"Wha…what happened?"

"You earned a drink from me and Star," Ororo answered with a soft smile.

"Rahne!" Roberto rushed in when he saw she was awake.

"This boy barely left your side,"

"Next time we go out promise you won't do that,"

"I'll try not to, but what did I do?"

Star told her, "You passed out, babe."

"You had us all worried,"

"Like you had me this morning,"

"Okay, you were right.  As soon as we're gone you can dance on our graves,"

"Just don't collapse again."

There was a knock on the slightly opened door.

"Star," Forge had something he wanted to discuss.  "Glad to see you're up."

"Thanks," Rahne replied a bit confused as to why he was there in the middle of the night.

"I'll check on you in a bit," Star said before leaving the room to join Forge.

Rahne looked at Ororo in question.  She shrugged.

"Are you thirsty?  I can go get you something to drink," Roberto offered.

"A bottle of water would be great," she wasn't really thirsty, just wanted to talk to Ororo in private.

"Be right back."

"All she's told me is that he was helping her find out a little more,"

"'Ro, something's going to happen soon."

"I know… I know."
