"Well, come on so we're not late." Scott said.
"I'll put this in some water for you if you wish." Ororo told Rogue.
"Sure, dat would be nice." She said grabbing her backpack as they left for school.
"So you think like Pietro gave it to you?" Kitty asked Rogue as the got out of Scott's jeep.
"Ah don` know, but ah doubt it. Pietro ain` exactly the type ta send roses ta a girl." Rogue told her.
"But the guys said they didn't." Jean said joining in on they're conversation.
"Maybe you have like a secret admirer." Kitty giggled.
"Who could get inta tha Institute at night without settin` off the security system or alertin` Logan."
"What about that guy you and Scott went to recruit over Christmas break?" Jean asked.
"Warren Worthington III?" Rogue asked.
"Yea, he can like fly over the security system, right?" Kitty whispered.
"Yea, but we haven` seen or spoken ta Warren since then an` we haven` seen Magneto either." She said whispering back. "An` besides he refused ta join us."
"So who do you think sent Rogue the rose?" Kurt asked Scott and Evan as they walked about five feet behind the girls who were whispering.
"I know I didn't." Evan said.
"Well, Bobby insists he didn't give it to her either." Scott said. "The only one I can think of being able to transcend our security system is Pietro."
"Well, let's hope it's not him." Evan growled softly.
"So are you going to tell her?" Lance asked as he saw the X-Girls heading towards them. mostly since they parked closer towards the school then they had.
"I don't know. Maybe I should keep her guessing." He said.
"Hey, pretty Kitty." Lance said grinning at her.
"Like hi Lance." Kitty said blushing slightly.
"So what exactly did you two do to Duncan last night?" Jean asked curiously.
"Come on Jean, don't you love surprises?" Pietro asked grinning. "Besides whatever gives you the idea we did something."
Kitty and Rogue exchanged glances. "Ah think ah see Risty now." Rogue said trying to slip away, but Pietro went in front of her blocking her exit.
"I thought you told me last night that Risty was visiting her sick grandmother in Michigan?"
"She was comin` back last night."
"Thought she left last night, Roguey?" Lance asked smiling.
"Well, here comes Duncan an` his friends." She snickered.
Jean looked over and gasped. Duncan and his friends had mixed minor injuries. Swollen lips, black eyes, swollen cheeks, and what looked like a broken nose. "What did you two do to them?"
"They pissed us off." Lance said folding his arms over his chest and leaned against his jeep.
"Alvers you and Maximoff are dead meat, you hear me?" Duncan said angrily.
"You name the place and time, Matthews and we'll be there." Pietro said.
Duncan glared at them as they walked into the school. "Nice look for Duncan." Scott said trying not to laugh.
"See if they try to like mess up our date again." Kitty said. "Oh and Rogue got a rose this morning."
"Kitty do ya hafta tell everyone?" rogue asked.
"Yes, cause we don't like know who gave it to you."
"Sorry we can't help you out in that department." Pietro said. "But we can ask around if you want us to."
"No dat's fahne." She told him.
"Okay so it's totally not Evan, Bobby or Pietro. Who could it be?" Kitty said thinking out loud.
Should I have Angel (Warren Worthington III) make a guest star appearance?
