Dedicated to all my hostile… err, wonderful… fans.

Pietro zipped through the boarding house's front door, tossing his backpack against the wall. School had been uneventful. Daniels had tripped on his skateboard and went sailing into a trash can. Big deal, he always made sure something happened to the black boy every once in a while. Another teacher had cried during one of his classes….. Yet again, another mundane feat.

Oh yeah. Four girls had asked him to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. He almost forgot about that. "I'll think about it," he told each of them. At the same time. Incredible, he thought. How the hell was he to know that they planned it that way so he wouldn't be able turn any of them down.

"What took you guys so long? It's like I've been waiting forever!"

Lance sighed. "Pietro, we all came home at the same time. You've only been inside for about ten seconds!"

"And it felt like forever!" the boy waved his arms, unmoving from his position on the couch.

"Hey, move over." Todd called to his friend, finishing up a twinkie.

"You move over!"

Todd looked around, slightly confused. Huh?

Pietro drew his feet back for a second, informing Todd of the availability on the couch. Then promptly thrust his legs back before his young friend had the chance to sit down.

"Hey, yo!" Toad hopped up and down, pumping his fists at the loss of a seat. Looking around, he frowned when Lance took the remaining chair. His head shifted from left to right, as he watched his oldest friend sigh. Lance looked kind of…. Different. Happy! Happy? What the? "Yo, what's up with Lance?"

Tabby, Fred and Pietro turned to the brown haired boy, who had been gazing into thin air. With a dopey smile on his face.

Lance shook his head as soon as the pillow hit him on the nose. "Huh?"

"I think he finally fried his brain, yo."

"Brain?" Tabitha giggled. "I thought he lost those when he joined up with the Geek Squad?"

Todd and Fed laughed at the expense of their leader.

"Aw, come on! You guys said you forgave me for that." He sunk down into his chair, crossing his arms.

Fred grinned. "We did, but that doesn't mean we can't still make fun of you!"

Pietro grinned and turned his head towards everyone. "I know why he's so happy."

Lance slumped down further into his chair. Here it comes.

"OOh! Ooh! Tell us!"

"Yeah, we wanna know Speedy."

Tabby grinned, slinking over to Quicksilver. "What? Did he win the lottery or something?"

"Probably even better. For him, anyways." He held up two fingers.

"Peace?" Todd asked.

Fred slapped his forehead.

Todd realized his mistake. "oh! Charades! Two words."

"Second word-"

"looks like…."

"Bicycle!"

"No, it's epilepsy."

"Nuh uh, moron. Climbing the corporate ladder."

"That's four words."

Pietro slapped a hand over his eyes.

"Okay, okay. Sounds like….." Pietro pointed to Lance.

"Him!"

"Alvers?"

"Lance!"

"Lance got a bicycle!"

I give up, Pietro thought. They're never gonna get this.

Boy, am I lucky those guys suck at charades. And why the hell do I always end up with Toad on my team, anyways? Lance scratched his chin in thought.

"Oh! Dance! Something with Lance and dance."

As Tabitha spoke, Pietro clawed his fingers through the air before him.

Fred jumped as it came to him. "Lance is going to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with a cat!"

"Kitty."

"Oh. Ohhhh! Lance is going to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with Kitty!"

"Awoohoohoooo!"

"Laaaa-aance!"

"Aaaoooooooo!"

"Woo woo woo woo woo woo woooooo!"

And thus, we know how the rest of the Brotherhood found out about Lance going out with kitty to the Sadie Hawkins Dance.

What should I do next? I'm not above adding in any of the X-Men if I have the time to write it. So…. Send in your requests!
