"Hey guys, that was the best display of artful negotiation Ah ever saw. NOT!!!" shouted Rogue. The X men had asked them to stay but they had declined. They used every excuse they could think of: A) "we'd love to, but we just haaaaaaave to get back because peter could wake up any day now." B) "We really have to get moving toward California." C) "If Amara calls Kim "little bitty kimy-wimmy one more time she'll need therapy till she's 30".

They weren't going to stay the night of anything but Rogue was still miffed that they had to go to brunch the next day. She didn't care if the sun rose the next day; she would be asleep anyway. And she really didn't want to go in some big collective group anyway.

"What?" stretched John, "being with you old team will make you appreciate us more."

"Promise me ya wont bail on me or forget ta pick me up after ok?"

Silence. Neither boy spoke; even Kim sensed the importance and stopped giggling.

"Damn, now we cant take Kimi an' make for de cost," said Remy. Rogue scowled.

"Well, we all admire your fashion sense at least," snickered John.

"Some how Rogue managed to glare daggers at the both of them. She was currently wearing Johns 'Lumber Jack Song' tea shirt and a pair of Remy's wrinkled to death black jeans. They were all wrinkled because before the FIRST punch incident and even after the second they were stuffed on accident in Kim's baby bag and used there after for padding the breakable bottles. A passer by would have been able to think many dirty thoughts about the three of them.

"Hey guys, can we stop for dinner?" asked john. His stomach rumbled.

"Its 3 AM, where would we go?" asked Remy.

"And why din'tcha eat at the party?" asked rogue.

"Why did all of you just ask questions?" asked a passer by, as he thought dirty thoughts about the three of them.

..

"Cuz kitty made it," said john.

"Oh." "Kay." Baby like coo. "Makes sense."

?

10 minuets later John was ordering food at a suprisingly nice restart. Kind of like a Denny's, but there were people n there who weren't wasted of tired, and they actually had to talk to the waitress. Kimane had eaten her inter bottle and was currently asleep. John was arguing with said waitress over how done was done, he like his food fried to a crisp.

"Gawd," yawned rogue, "the first thing Ah want ta do when AH get home is crawl inta bed and not get out for a week," she leaned her head against Remy's shoulder. He tried to bury his head in her hair.

"Same here," Rogue looked up at his smirking face and punched his arm, blushing hotly. "Must be more tired then I thought, first time ya din' break my arm."

"Can you believe they didn't have any hamburgers? At least they had pizza," said john leaning in toward the table to join the discussion for the first time. The subject quickly was changed without John even knowing it.

"Don' comment, don' comment, just look at the floor and don' comment. " said Remy. He looked toward the sky. The waitress had left her order book on his head and John seemed not to notice. They weren't about to tell him either.

"Ok, I'm done now," said john. And Rogue was extremely glad of this. He had been the only one of the three mutants who was still eating, as I've said before, Rogue was extremely tired and wanted nothing more then to go to bed.

"Look! More coffee! " Rogue groaned and leaned way back in her chair as John downed his fifth glass of coffee in the last 10 minuets. Kim was still asleep, thank god, all they needed right now was a crying baby. Remy was flat out asleep on the table next to his slice of mushroom pizza. Rogue was looking really annoyed, so annoyed in fact that when her cell phone rang she yelled into the receiver.

"WHA- oh hey Jamie," needles to say no one can stay mad at Jamie, not for long, "Why are you still up? ... Then what's all the music from? ... Mortimer? ... what? Did he change his name or some thing in the last week? .. A nickname? .. What do you mean he doesn't look like a Todd?.... Tell me about the brother hood break up. ... really? ...... no kidding? ..... Ok, Ah see ....... Peitro in Hawaii?!? .... Lance in the X MEN WITH FREDDY???!!!??? .... Wanda's with you to?... go to know she didn't whack out on me..... no no, the just didn't strike me as, well, the kind of kids who would get along there..... Great, turn down the music will ya?..... oh, and tell them that if they don't suht up when Ah get home Ah'll personally send them to hell... Got it?.... good.

The waitress across the room looked at her, along with the dirty thinking passer by.

John paused just long enough from filling his face up with food to say, "wow, some ones go their cycle back." Rogue flung a fork load of Jell- O at him. "Right, check please, very nice." The waitress ran up with the check, John paid with money he got form his pocket, rogue's -who smacked him when he tried to get it himself- pocket, and Remy's pocket, who just rolled over in his sleep.

"wake him up and we're out of here Sheila. Yes I'll take another cup of coffee while I wait." He took the cup from the waitress. They started to talk, that was all well and good because it took nearly half an hour to get Remy up. On the way out they passes a homeless man who warned them that the coming of the Apocalypse was near.

"bit behind the times ain't he?" asked John.

Rogue laughed, "but you can't expect humans to know anything about stuff that us mutants take care of anyway."

Jeffery Gregson AKA the passer by with dirty thoughts about our three mutant's head jerked up at this last statement.

And Panther Nesmith , I don't think I made this clear, I tend to leave stuff out when I type chapters up in 15 min and never look back, but the two of them were slightly drunk, you can decide if there were other spiked foods or if they just wanted to make the night a little easier. Plus I envisioned the game with Kim in her Cradle thing. I really ought to explain stuff more. Dammit.

Will Jeffery come up again, will the brunch be torture, and will they all figure out Toad is supposed to be British!!!

Review ppl.
