Why didn't her body ever want to listen? Stop pacing, stop pacing. Oh, don't bother. She headed for the closest mirror. As much as she hated the way she looked she had to admit that Kitty did a nice job. Kitty had allowed her to keep her own personal style, if she let up on the make up. She laughed. Kitty was becoming a dictator. She wore a sheer, black, button up, long sleeved, blouse over a dark red tank top, with a pair of black, tight, leather pants she borrowed from Allana, and of course her gloves. More pacing, stop at a clock. 5:57. Almost six, chill out already.
The doorbell rang and all the activities in the common area ceased as she sprinted through to answer. There he was. Peitro. She was really going on a date. Here he was. Dressed in a green sweater and jeans, his hair slicked back as always. Utterly gorgeous.
"Hey," He grinned.
She just stood there, why wasn't she saying anything? Rogue hated that her body refused to obey her. Say something! Don't just stand there!
"Rogue." She swiveled around to face Allana. "You ready?" The older girl asked. No! Of course she's not ready, she's so lame she can't even greet her date.
"Yes," Rogue answered weakly, attempting to ignore the voice.
"Good," Allana patted Rogue's shoulder comfortingly.
"Hey, Allana." Peitro greeted. Rogue faced him and froze again. This could not happen all night. Since when did she become so flustered around him? Probably when she finally realized that she liked him. Stupid body.
"What's up, Peitro? Tell me on the way to the car." Allana squeezed her shoulder and pushed her slightly to get going.
They reached Scott's convertible without her totally freaking out. She didn't know and she really didn't want to know how Allana got Scott's permission to use the car. The car ride itself passed quickly, much to Rogue's surprise. They had fallen into an easy conversation about which movie they were going to see.
"Beautiful Mind."
"But, I want to see Queen of the Damned."
"I say Beautiful Mind." Peitro countered. They had been doing this for the past ten minutes.
"Queen of the Damned." Rogue insisted.
"Good we all agree... Dragonfly it is." Allana grinned at them through the rearview mirror. They laughed.
Rogue knew what Allana had in mind. As little date experience as Rogue had... she knew that a scary movie, meant close contact. She just hoped it wouldn't be too bad. She didn't want Peitro to think she was a scared little girl that couldn't handle a movie. They arrived a minute later.
"I'll be right back." Rogue watched Allana go off to get the tickets, leaving her alone with Peitro.
"I'm glad you agreed to come, Rogue." Peitro genuinely smiled. That had to be a first... it's either pouts or grins, never smiles. Some how he looked even more gorgeous.
"I'm glad that you asked." Don't fidget, just bluff confidence. At least act like you know what you're doing. Stop freaking out... it's Peitro... you used to live with him.
Peitro took one of her hands in his, and almost as if it were second nature, she became calm. Now how is that possible, she wondered? Their eyes locked. Blue on Green. Everything stood still. No antagonizing voice, no jittery feelings. The world was right.
Then Allana walked up, the moment slowly faded away... as if she hadn't disturbed them at all. She smiled secretively and Rogue was sure that she blushed. Silently Allana handed them their tickets. Together, still holding hands they went into the movie theatre.
You're really on a date! With Peitro no less. What happened to arrogant and stupid Peitro? Things change she told herself. What about Scott? No don't say his name... I don't want to think about him right now... Too late... Just when he's starting to show interest, you bail. Tsk Tsk. She started to curse her mind. She wanted this to be a good night, not one where she was with Peitro and thinking about a certain leader of the X-Men. Why did her mind always have to ruin everything?

Hehe... First date jitters... gotta love em... Allana is sneaky isn't she? Picking a scary movie and all... Hehe... more of the date to come next chapter which will be up either tomorrow or the next day. Man... I think I'm kinda good at this whole Reitro thing... Maybe I should write a regular Reitro... with no love triangle... no Allana... a normal Reitro. Hehe... I'll keep that in mind...
