Hye guys, thanks for all your reviews, finally ff.net is being nice to me again! Here is another chapter, God the ammount of requests for Remy and Pietro is unbelievable. You'll just have to wait and see who DOES give the flowers. Whoahhahahhahahahhaha!.
Chapter 11 - Sleuth work.
"Call me", said a overly-happy girl as she handed Pietro a piece of paper, running off and giggling.

Rogue narrowed her eyes. Suspect number one. She walked over to him as he leafed through a load of small of papers, each with a different girls name and number on.

"This is a good day to be me", he said, then noticed Rogue, "hey Rogue, how you holding up in this babe paradise?".

"Funny", said Rogue, then sighed, best get straight to the point, knowing Pietro's tiny attention span, "did you send any of us any flowers?...namely me?".

"What?, you think i have a death wish? Heck no, sorry to disapoint you Roguey", said Pietro with a laugh, then wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, "but if you want i'll put your name on the list".

"No, no thank you", snapped Rogue, giving Pietro a thwak across the head and storming off.

Pietro blinked watching her in confusion, then shrugged, going back to sorting his numbers. He heard a hissing noise from the bushes beside him, he glanced over to see Kurt, a look of sheer terror on his face.

"Why are you hiding in the bushes, Blue-Boy?", asked Pierto, "Amanda on the rampage?".

"Try her parents", said Kurt, "i can't let them see me. I haven't had ze chance to talk to Amanda yet, but i saw she ahd a black eye".

"Yeah, she's got one heck of a shiner, pitty i missed the fight that caused that", said Pietro, spacing out, "girls rolling around on the ground...gettting all muddy..pulling each others ha....".

He blinked, noticing Kurt scowling at him.

"I'm...gonna go get more numbers", he said with a nervous laugh, speeding off.
Rogue meanwhile, was getting frustrated. She had spoken to Lance, Freddy, Scott, even Bobby, and none had admited to giving her the flowers. She was running out of guys. She was currently grilling Sam, who was looking like he would rather be anywhere else, than there.

"A'h honestly don't know who sent you the flowers, Rogue", said the Southern boy, "if a'h did, ah'd tell you, honest!".

"A'hm startin' ta loose ma'h temper", said Rogue, rubbing her temples.

"There's a shock", said Todd with a laugh, hopping over.

"If it was you that sent me those flowers, a'hll kill mahself", said Rogue, narrowing her eyes.

"Sorry, one girl at a time fer me", said Todd, "speakin' of which, have ya seen where my Crimson Cutie ran off to?".

"She said soemthing about findin' somewhere she could hide from you until you went back home", said Rogue dryly.

"Awwww she wants ta play hide an' go seek", said Todd with a chuckle, "well, i won't disapoint her".

"You are one sad, deluded little man aren't you?",. said Rogue, crossing her amrs.

"Just fer that, i won't help you", said Todd, starting to walk off.

"Help me?", said Rogue, racing after Todd, "you know who sent me those flowers, don't you?".

"Well....not exactly", said Todd, "but the deliverly came though the Brotherhood place".

Rogue blinked, but she'd already interogated all the Brotherhood members.

"Did ya ever think it was Gambit?", asked Todd with a raised eyebrow, "he likes ya".

"Gambit?", said Rogue.

"Yeah, ya know, tall Cajun guy, weird eyes, carries a bo staff an' a pack'a cards?", said Todd with a hint of amusment in his voice.

"Ah didn't think about him!", said Rogue, "how do a'h find him?. Has he got a cell phone?".

"You'll have ta ask Pie", said Todd with a shrug, "he does the whole..Acolyte side..thing...can i go now?".

"Yeah..sure..thanks Toad", said Rogue with a sigh as she watched Todd hop off, looking for Wanda.
"You have to leave the cabin sometime".

Tabby was looking at Wanda, who was currently trying to see if she could fit in the box on the bottom of her bed...without success.

"I am NOT going out there", she said, "HE'S out there".

"So much for the fearless Scarlet Witch", murmered Kitty.

Amanda suddenly burst in, looking breathless.

"Okay guys", she said, "it's time you hold up to your promise. My parents are outside, if you guys could take them around town or soemthing i'd be really, really greatfull".

"Ooooh, i really should be seeing Scott, he hasn't seen me for ages and i....", started Jean, only to be cut off by Amanda.

"I already talked to him, he said it's fine", she said.

"Oh", said Jean, deflated, "okay....".

"A promise is a promise..i guess", said Tabby with a sigh, "okay Amanda, we'll help".

Kitty, Amara, Jean and Wanda each gave a deflated sigh and followed Tabby outside.

"Thanks guys, appriceate it", said Amanda.

Outside, Amanda's parents were grinning at the girls before them.

"Amanda says she has to do some special work for the consilours", said Mrs Sefton, "it's awfully nice of you girls to offer to show us the sights around town. I bet we'll have a whale of a time!".

"I heard they even have a kaeroke bar!", said Mr Sefton excitedly, "fun huh?".

"Yeah....fun", said Kitty, making a mental note to hurt Amanda after this was over.

"Hey Babycakes, there you are!".

Wanda groaned noticing Todd walking over to her, a huge smile on his face. She glanced at the Seftons, then back at Todd. She decided to chose the lesser of the two evils.

"Oh, silly me, i forgot all about Todd!", she said, with a laugh, "gee Mr and Mrs Sefton, we had...stuff to do..heh heh. But i guess we can put it off, if you want to go the the kareoke place".

This was earning her bizare looks from the girls and Todd, who looked like he wasn't sure if he were dead or dreaming.

"Oh no don't be silly", said Mrs Sefton with a laugh, "you go and have fun with..wait..do we know you?".

"Err..no", said Todd with a nervous laugh, "don't know me at all..tra la la".

"Okay as long as you're sure", said Wanda, giving a smirk at the other girls, "have fun".

With that, she grabbed a bewildered Todd's arm and dragged him off.

"One word and i'll kill you", she hissed, "i am NOT going to a kareoke bar with those guys".

The Seftons smiled at the remaining girls expectantly.

"That sneaky witch", muttered Amara.

"Don't worry, she'll get hers", vowed Kitty and they followed the Seftons into town.
There you go, another chap down. *Avoids missiles thrown at her by Reitro fans* and don't you Romy fans get your hopes up either. It is NOT who you think. Ha ha ha!. Yes well, please review. Until next time.....
