A date? Why a date? Why now? Why with Peitro of all people? Why not Peitro? He doesn't sit on his butt waiting for a girl who already has a boyfriend to notice him. That's what he, himself, does. Screw Jean... if she didn't want to take advantage of what he offered to her than he would move on. Why had he listened to their conversation? Didn't he have anything better to do? Geez he had no life. Ignorance of the whole matter would have been much easier on his mind.
"Scott." He looked up to see the Professor behind his desk with his fingers steeped. Allana was leaning against the edge of the desk looking at him like he'd gone crazy.
"Yes, Professor?" Scott was not about to let it get to him. He had gotten in trouble before.
"I've called you two here because I've had some concerns."
Scott knew what was coming. A nice lecture... exactly what he needed to get his mind off of Rogue's date. "Concerns?"
"Yeah, Scott... concerns... you know about you skipping... then me deciding to play hero and go after you so you didn't hurt yourself... remember that?" Scott looked at her, what was the matter? He knew she didn't like these parental lectures any more than the others, but really she could at least pretend that she cared.
"Hey, I never asked you to come after me... you chose to do that." Chill, Scott... don't let her get to you... she's only acting like that to get a rise. Don't let her.
The Professor interrupted. "I didn't call you here to talk about your skipping, I think that Logan did a nice job of handling that. I called you here because you aren't getting along. I know this is normal behavior for some, but it is coming to a point where I think your distaste for each other will get in the way of what is important."
"Distaste? Professor... I'm not the one who first day she arrived pin pointed me and suddenly I'm the target for all her verbal abuse." Scott was outraged. He had made a conscience effort to be nice to her.
"Oh, get over yourself, Captain America. You are just as much apart of the insult wars as I am... Don't make me out to be the bad guy here." Breathe Scott... count to ten... do not explode!
"So suddenly, I'm the bad guy? That's rich coming from someone who told Rogue there was no hope." Oh, nice move... now she'll know you were listening in.
"You told Rogue there was no hope?" The Professor said a little loudly as to get their attention. Scott was sure that the older man was getting more than a little annoyed with them.
"I didn't tell her there was no hope... I told her that I didn't think that she'd touch again and that I didn't see why you got her hopes up about it... And how would you know that I told her that anyway?" The last part had been directed at him and was in an extremely dangerous tone that would rival Logan's. Scott wanted to run away. This was not happening.
"Forget about HOW I know you said it... the point is you said it... considering Rogue's background... I think she needs to be encouraged." That's right Scott... dig your self a deeper whole.
"Oh yes lets give her all this false hope." She said sarcastically.
The professor cleared his throat. Scott turned his attention from Allana to the older man. "This is exactly what I'm talking about."
"Fine, if I promise to lay off him can I go?" It was an empty promise and he was sure that the professor knew it. Allana seemed more agitated than usual. He made a mental note to try and talk to her later. Not that it would do much good.
The professor nodded and she pushed past him and out the door. It took all his will power not to go after her.
"I hear that young Rogue is going with Mr. Maximoff on a date." The professor said simply. Scott nodded. Great... now he was back to thinking about that.
"I don't want to talk about it Professor... if you don't mind." Scott raked a hand through his hair, didn't do much good it fell right in his face again.
"Would you rather talk about the problem you have with Allana?" The professor just had a way of pushing all the wrong buttons today.
"No," Scott answered quickly.
"Okay... you are dismissed." Scott gave the professor a grateful look and left the office. He glanced at his watch, 4:46. Well he had two options, well three really, he could go help Rogue with Kitty; try and talk to Allana; or sit in his room and brood. The third seemed to be the safest option, so he headed in that direction.
Peitro going on a date with his Rogue... Guess you just suck, his mind told him. Not if he could help it... Wait he wasn't actually thinking of following them was he? He would have more than just the likes of Peitro to contend with, he'd have Rogue. Not to mention that if he knew Allana well enough, she would be supervising them from faraway. He had no choice though... He just had to be smart about it. No way, he could follow them... that would be just wrong. Right? He didn't know anymore.

**********
I've noticed something... On Scott's chapters I always have Allana and him argue. Hehe... my friend Father Time says that Dragon Fly or Queen of the Damned are acceptable first date materials... Thanks for the ideas Crystal Hawk. Any who... oh yeah... gotta talk about the chapter... Scott plotting to follow them??? Uh oh... doesn't look good. We'll just have to wait and see won't we. Hehe... I told you it wasn't going to be easy. Later!
