"Man this is boring." Kitty stated. Jubilation heartily agreed. Rogue also thought it was boring also. She had gone out into the kitchen "to get chips."
"How can you say this is boring?" Evan asked.
"Because it's completely sexist." Kitty replied. They were watching some TV show where every girl the two main characters ran into was scantily clad.
Rogue had gone outside for a walk through the back door in the kitchen. She left the mansion's gates and walked towards the park. She began to think about The Brotherhood and how bad their house was. It made her feel sort of sorry for them because they were money-less, food-less, and Mystique-less. She almost fell on her butt when she saw a white haired boy sitting on the bench.
"Speak of the devil." She whispered. "Pietro?" He whipped around to face Rogue.
"Oh hello." He said. He had ovbiously been crying.
"What's up?" Rogue asked. He shrugged and put his face in his hands. Rogue put her arm around him and brought him closer. He looked up surprised and Rogue gave him a shrug. He began to cry again. If this had been someone else, Rogue would have left but there was something about Pietro. Something that Rogue liked.
After about three hours, Rogue and Pietro were finally able to depart. Pietro was in the park because he needed sometime away.
"Ooh tell me about it." Rogue has sighed. Pietro had been thinking about his parents and it was a very touchy subject for him. It was probably one of the only ones that actually made him shed tears.
Before they said their goodbye's, Rogue's cell phone began to ring. Rogue cursed softly and looked at the Caller I.D. It read "XAVIER INSTITUTE."
"Hello?" Rogue said impatiently. Pietro couldn't help but giggle. The person on the other line heard the giggle.
"Who is that?" Scott asked.
"Um.. Pietro." Rogue replied. Rogue could tell that he was annoyed and personally, Rogue was ticked off.
"You get here right now." He snapped.
"No. I'm going to spend more time with him. Besides we haven't even kissed yet. Ciao." Rogue hung up and turned the phone off. Pietro was in a fit of laughter.
"I would have killed to see his face after that remark." He laughed. Rogue began to laugh also. She looked at him couldn't help but smile.
Pietro got up and looked into Rogue's eyes.
"Well I have to go before Scott kills someone." Rogue said chuckling. Pietro chuckled also and said a simple "ok." Before she left he leaned closer and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. Rogue smiled again and walked back to the masion feeling exceptionally good about herself.
Her mood instantly changed when she walked into the foyer of the mansion. Scott, Jean, and Evan were standing there waiting for her.
"Why were you with him?" Scott snapped at her. Scott walked over to her and lifted her up against the wall.
"SCOTT!" Evan shouted. "Leave her alone."
"No." was his reply. Rogue kicked him hard in the groin and he collapsed. Jean let out a little bit of laughter. Scott fell to the floor whimpering.
"Woo! Go Rogue!" Evan cheered. He gave her a high five and they both trotted to the bedroom hallways.
"Rogue is it true?" Evan asked.
"About what?" She asked.
"About Pietro." He replied.
"Ohh. Well I was there and he was crying about something and I just comforted him. He gave me a quick peck on the cheek though." She explained.
"Oh. Well if you do become a couple I wouldn't care. I admit I know we are childish rivals but he can cool sometimes." Evan said. Rogue hugged him tightly.
"At least someone has some sense in this place." She said to him.
