I have just consumed WAAAAAAAY too much pop for the average teenage girl.
And now I'm going to sit down and type. Read at your own risk.

Eleven mutants sat in a circle in total silence, none of them able to think of a game. Though some were thinking harder than others. Todd couldn't keep his eyes off a bored looking Wanda. Freddy was gazing longingly at the buffet table. Tabby twiddled her fingers dangerously, and everyone near her backed away slightly, not wanting to get hit if she should let some of her "sparks" fly. Kitty and Pietro were still glaring at each other, and Remy still had his attention on Rogue, who was blushing furiously and making it a point to look anywhere but at him. Lance glanced at the bored faces of Pyro and Colossus. He needed to think of something quick before everyone decided to leave. He cleared his throat.
" Hey guys." Toad glanced in his direction, but then went back to gazing adoringly at Wanda. Pietro and Kitty's glares didn't even waver. Neither did Remy's attention on Rogue, who shot Lance a pleading look. He tried again.
"You guys!" He waved his hands. "Yoo-hoo!" Reluctantly Kitty and Pietro stopped glaring and turned towards him. Everyone else followed suite.
"Okay. That's better. I have an idea." No one looked too enthusiastic. He rubbed his hands together. "Truth or dare." He ignored the groans of 'not THAT' 'That's for KIDS', and continued. "MUTANT, truth or dare." Everyone looked at him. One by one, the mutants began to smile. Kitty however, wasn't so sure.
"I don't know Lance," She paused for a second, thinking. "I mean, what if we like, seriously hurt someone or attract unwanted attention?"
"What's that matter Kitty-cat?" Pietro mocked. "Scared?"
"Like, as if! I just thought--" She broke off. "Whatever. Let's just play."
Rogue would have protested too, but she was desperate for anything to divert the Cajun's attention from her. "Ah'm game. Why don't ya go ahead and start Lance, since it was your idea."
"Right. Um. Okay." He racked his brain. Who would be a good victim? He wasn't sure he wanted to start with the Acolytes, and Wanda would probably hurt him. . . "Rogue, truth or dare?" She looked at him, startled.
"Me? Um, Ah guess Ah'll choose truth ta start with."
"Do you still have a thing for Scott?"
She blushed furiously as Remy leaned closer. "Lance! Ah'm SO gonna kill ya when this is ovah!"
He just grinned. "Answer the question Rogue."
"No! No! Ah do NOT have a thang for Scott! Ah never did!" Kitty coughed loudly, and Rogue shot her a 'look'. "Not for very long anyway." Again Kitty coughed, but Rogue just ignored her. "Mah turn now." Her eyes narrowed as she surveyed the group. "Kitty!" The girl in question jumped. "Truth or dare."
"Uh, like truth." She wasn't STUPID.
"Who was it that stole Logans boxers last week?"
"Ick, Rogue!" Now it was Kitty's turn to blush. "I'm sure no one here wants to know about THAT!" She looked around for support but everyone was leaning forward eagerly. "It was ME okay!" Everyone burst out laughing.
"YOU stole Logans WHAT?" Pietro couldn't decide whether she was suicidal or just plain dumb.
"His boxers! But it wasn't MY fault! Evan wanted to get Logan back for confiscating his skateboard or something like that, and threatened to expose my diary to all of Bayville high if I wouldn't help!" She was still flushed. "It was SO not my fault."
"I just want to know one thing, Pryde." Pietro leaned forward. "Did you keep them?"
"EEEEEWW! NO! I gave them to Evan!"
Pietro fought to keep a straight face. "Did HE keep them?"
"I don't KNOW, okay! Let's just drop it. I answered the stupid question."
He shrugged. "Whatever you say. Your turn, Kitten."
She glanced around the room, and her eyes fell on Gambit, who still had his eyes on Rogue. She smiled. Rogue would hate her. "Gambit! Truth or dare?"
Slowly, he tore his gaze away from Rogue and turned to stare at Kitty. "Dare. Remy not afraid."
*Oh ugh!* She had been hoping he would say truth. "Uh." She paused. What could she say?
"What's the matter Pryde? Can't think of anything?" Pietro's voice was mocking.
Her eyes lit up. "Kill Pietro!"
"Kitty!" Pietro, Lance, Rogue, Toad, Freddy, and Tabby all stared at her as Gambit pulled out a charged card.
"Oh. Fine! Never mind, okay?" There were a couple groans from the Acolytes and Wanda, but Pietro breathed a loud sight of relief. Who knew what that crazy Cajun would do!
Kitty racked her brain. " I dare you to. . . Prank Magneto!"
Everyone stared at her. Rogue was the only one smiling.
"Are you crazy, Kitty?" Lance grabbed her arm. "Magneto will KILL him."
She rolled her eyes. "It's a PRANK call Lance. They're ANONYMOUS. None of us are gonna tell, right?" Everyone nodded. "And it has to be a good one." She returned her attention to Remy. "None of that 'is your refrigerator running' business."
Rogue grabbed the phone and tossed it to him. "What are ya waitin' for, Sugah?"
"Kiss for luck?" He winked at her.
"How could ya prank Magneto while you're in a coma?" She refused to blush this time.
"That's the idea." He muttered under his breath.
She smiled sweetly. "Sorry Swamp Rat, maybe next time."
Kitty raised an eyebrow. "There'll be a next time?"
"No!" Rogue avoided Gambit's laughing eyes. "It's just an expression Kitty! There wouldn't have even been a first time if LANCE had warned me HE--, I mean the Acolytes, would be here!"
"Hey, leave me out of this!" Lance held up his hands as if to fend off Rogues glare.
"Whatevah, just call." She motioned towards Remy without meeting his gaze.
He picked up the receiver and dialed slowly. As an afterthought, he hit the speakerphone button. They all held their breath as it rang once. Twice. Three ti-
"Hello." A gruff voice answered the phone. Kitty clapped her hands over her mouth to keep from giggling. Rogue snickered.
Remy's eyes glinted evilly.

This is SO horrible of me! I know! And if you totally hate the chapter, blame it on the pop. I will do my best to write six soon! This chapter was more fun and less Romy and Kietro, but once the games are done it'll focus more on the couples. *promise*. Reviews are always welcome! ;o)
