Chapter 9

Logan and Rogue walked past Remy's room a few hours later to find it empty.

"Ah knew he'd run the second we left him alone." Rogue said coldly, "Whadda jerk."

"Would ya relax, Stripes? Look, he left his stuff." said Logan, "He'll come back eventually. He couldn't stay if her wanted to, he has to go sever his connections with Magneto first if he wants to live here."

"Whatevah," said Rogue looking longingly at the now melted bag of ice.

Back at the brotherhood's house Lance and Kitty were having a 'lovers spat', while Pietro, Wanda, Toad and Blob watched from the living room doorway with great amusement. Ever since Kitty pulled that prank on Lance he had been a little more than on edge. The only way he thought to put his mind to rest was to have Kitty take pregnancy test.

"No way!" yelled Kitty.

"Why do you have something to hide?!" accused Lance holding a white paper bag from the pharmacy.

"Lance, it was a joke!" yelled Kitty.

"I don't believe you!" yelled Lance.

"You don't believe me?" said Kitty on what seemed the verge of tears.

"Stop it, Kitty. I know that you're BULLSHITTING ME!"

It was at this point Remy walked in.

"FINE!" yelled Kitty as she seized the bag and stormed into the bathroom, slamming the door be hind her.

Lance spun around to come face to face with Remy.

"Back so soon from Buffalo?" stammered Lance.

"Remy don' even wanna know, Pup." he said as he walked past Lance and went up to his room.

Remy walked into his room to find a new box of zip-lock plastic bags sitting on the foot of his bed, "What de hell?" asked Remy in rather a confused state.

Behind him he heard the door creak and shut. Remy spun around to see Rogue standing behind the door wearing nothing, but one of his shirts and holding a pitcher ond two glasses.

"Up fo' some 'sex on the beach', Swamp Rat?" asked Rogue.

"Dat's exactly what Remy in de mood for, Chère." said Remy with a wicked smile as reached for the box on his bed.

"OH, SHIT!" yelled Kitty from the first floor.

The next sound was that of Lance's body falling on the floor.

Wanda as the only other woman among men came forward when Kitty walked out of the bathroom, "I take it things didn't work out the way you had hoped."

"Tell me about it." said Kitty, "I broke a nail!"

Wanda, Blob, Pietro and Toad couldn't help, but laughing their asses off.
