Of all the movies playing, Allana just had to pick a scary movie. He hated scary movies. Ever since he was a kid. They were only good for one thing, scaring the crap out of him. On all the dates he had been on, he had made sure to avoid scary movies at all costs. No girl was about to have him endure nightmares for a week. Yet, he was stuck watching this really creepy movie for the next hour and a half. This was so not worth it, he told himself. Ack... first fifteen minutes and he was already freaked out.
"Peitro." He opened his eyes and found Rogue. Oh, now he remembered, this was why he came. Maybe it was worth it.
"Yeah," He smiled.
"Could ya loosen you're grip... Ah can't feel mah arm anymore." He quickly let go of Rogue's arm embarrassed.
"Sorry," he mumbled. Peitro definitely hated scary movies.
"Ah don't really like this movie... can we go?" Rogue's voice was quiet and shy. She was scared too? Or was she just saying that cause she knew he was freaked out? Either way he was grateful to her.
"Sure," they got up and left. In the lobby by the concession counter, they found Allana resting on a bench. Peitro couldn't help but notice how bored she looked.
"What's up guys?" She hopped up as they approached.
"We've decided we want to skip the movie and go onto to get pizza. Do you mind?" He asked the purple haired girl slowly.
She shrugged, "Why would I care... I'm just the chauffeur." Peitro grinned, he was glad that she wasn't making a big deal about it, or that she didn't ask questions.
Looking at Rogue he found a similar expression of gratitude on her pale face. "Thanks Allana." He said still looking at Rogue.
"Come on then." Allana clapped her hands together to get his attention. Rogue snickered slightly. He ran a hand through his hair and smiled at her. They followed behind Allana as they starting talking about how much they hated scary movies.
"Scary movies equal nightmares."
"No argument here... last time Ah watched one, Ah had Kitty keep on the lamp, because Ah couldn't sleep with out it."
"Alright, I get the hint... no scary movies for you two." She laughed hopping into the car, not bothering to open the door.
Peitro and Rogue laughed. On the way to the pizza parlor they discussed roommates and housemates that continued even after they arrived and were seated. Peitro didn't notice where Allana disappeared to, he was a little consumed with the girl before him. Not that he minded. It was Rogue after all.
"Ya should have seen it, Peitro. We were all soaked and covered with wax." Peitro laughed. It was hard to imagine Summers ever having fun, but it was definitely funny to imagine Rogue and Allana beating up on him.
"I want to kiss you." Peitro blurted with out thinking. Oh. My. God. No he hadn't just said that. He probably couldn't have said a worse thing. Where had it come from anyway? This was just a challenge for him, to win the girl. Oh quit fooling yourself.
Rogue's eyes went wide. She thinks your crazy. She opened her mouth to say something but he cut her off, "Never mind... forget I said it."
"Ah think I better go." She whispered standing. Before he could protest she was heading toward a table in the back where he saw Allana sitting. He didn't go after her. There was no point. He had ruined the evening.
He watched Rogue leave the pizza parlor, he looked back at Allana who still sat in her seat almost as if she were waiting for something.
He didn't have to wait long. All of a sudden a shadow loomed over him. He looked over his shoulder to see Scott. What the hell was he doing here? Quickly Peitro got up to face him.
"What do you want with her anyway, Maximoff?" Scott didn't waste any time did he?
"I happen to like her, Summers." Peitro wasn't in the mood for a fight.
"You're just trying to get her to come back to the Brotherhood." How dare he accuse him?
"Get off it, Rogue's going to make her own decisions. Unlike you who had ulterior motives for being nice to her, I like her. I don't need to explain myself to the likes of you." Peitro narrowed his eyes.
"Just another win right?" Peitro saw fire.
"As if she wants someone who ignored her."
Scott opened his mouth, probably to say something idiotic, Peitro thought, but Allana stepped in between them.
"As lovely as this display of testosterone is... It's not up to either of you as to who Rogue wants. So you can fight it out... in the end it's up to Rogue." She made a very valid point. He hadn't thought about it.
Allana picked up Peitro's wrist to see his watch. "Only 6:45... wow... Evan will be happy that I get to practice after all." She muttered sarcastically. He growled slightly, almost from habit, at his enemy's name. Looking at him she said, "Not a word." To both, "Just remember, Rogue's not a prize." With that Scott left.
They looked at each other not saying anything. Allana spoke first, "Don't let this bet go too far... I would hate to see Rogue get hurt."
Peitro nodded wordlessly. Neither of them had noticed Rogue's entrance, but both saw her run out and slam the door. They both ran out in time to see the car pulling out of the parking lot with Scott behind the wheel.

Angst!!!! Hehe... the evening started out good... what happened??? What did Allana mean by a bet??? We'll just have to wait and see... I'm so cruel aren't I???
On a side note... Jessie and Father Time helped me to figure this out...
