Girl Talk
Kitty closed the large wooden door after her, and walked into the room. Jean sat on her full sized bed, with her legs crossed Indian Style. Her red hair was pulled up into a ponytail. She pulled the hem of her pink tank top down towards her waistline of her brown flare jeans. Kitty sat on the bed next to Elizabeth, and kicked off her brown sandals. Elizabeth began to comb her fingers through Kitty's thick brown hair. "Okay, now, what's going on?" Rogue asked, breaking the silence.
The girls of the "X" sat in the room. Tabitha sat on the wooden chair, with the back of the chair in front of her. Her arms were rested on top of the back, with her legs posted onto the sides. Elizabeth sat next to Kitty on the bed, while playing with Kitty's hair. Rogue lied on the white carpet, on her stomach, kicking her legs back and forth, while hoisting herself up on her elbows. Amara sat next to Jean, laying her head on Jean's lap. Tabitha finally spoke up. "Okay, I've come up with a little plan on turnin' on our boys downstairs." Tabitha smiled.
The girls looked at her, almost shocked. "Turning them on? Are you crazy?!" Kitty asked.
"Yeah, it's not like I can even do anything, duh!" Rogue snapped.
Tabitha rolled her eyes, pushing a stray strand of her blonde hair out of her face, "Oh Rogue, have you even tried that collar that Mr. McCoy even offered for you?!" Tabitha asked her.
"It's worth a shot, Rogue." Jean suggested.
"You can touch me, and if it doesn't work, so what if I'm out for a few minutes." Elizabeth told her.
"I'll get the collar!" Kitty smiled, as she attempted to rush to her feet.
"Hold up there, Kitty Kat!" Tabitha stopped her. Kitty sat back onto the bed, and Tabitha continued, "What I was thinking we could do, is put on a little surprise strip show for the men at the party!" Tabitha grinned.
"What?!" Jean snapped.
Tabitha shrugged, "Hey, what's the point of having these sexy boyfriends if we can't have fun with them?" She then looked at Elizabeth, "And husband if I may add with you!" She smiled, "Besides, we're pretty hot ourselves!" Tabitha smirked.
"I'm up for it!" Elizabeth smiled.
"That's the spirit Betsy!" Tabitha clapped.
"I dunno. I mean, I don't want to like, embarrass myself or anything. What if I like, totally fall on my face?!" Kitty panicked.
"Yeah! And aren't some of us a little young to be putting on a 'strip' show?" Amara snapped at her.
"Well, you little youngin's could dance all sexy and everything. Come on! Let's do something wild and crazy for once! I mean, Jean, Rogue, and Betsy did that photo shoot for Stuff Magazine a while ago clad in only bikinis may I remind you!" Tabitha pointed out.
"She's got a point." Jean sighed.
"Well, I think it'll be more amusing with cages." Elizabeth grinned, as she continued to comb her hands through Kitty's hair.
"We got the lights." Tabitha suggested.
Rogue and Jean looked at each other almost uneasily. Jean sighed, "Well, where can we get cages?"
Tabitha looked up in thought, her chin grinding to the side. "Hmm. I know a place where we could go and get 'em. But we need the car to put them in. Who's car can we take?" Tabitha asked.
Kitty snapped her fingers, "We can take Peter's car! He has one of those changeable SUV'S!" Kitty grinned.
"So, you girls gonna do it?" Tabitha asked.
"In front of everybody?" Rogue uneasily asked, as she sat up onto her knees.
Tabitha nodded sharply at her, "Yeah! That's why it's gonna be called a 'Strip Show'!"
"Oh alright. Since you're gonna be a smart ass about it. But the slightest stupid remark from anyone, I swear I'm beatin' some ass!" Rogue hissed.
"I'll do it too!" Kitty smiled, clapping happily.
Jean looked at her, "You sure Lance will like that?" Jean smirked slyly.
"You sure Scott will?" Elizabeth asked her.
Jean shyly looked away. She shrugged, "Well, maybe. He seems to like everything else!" Jean grinned.
"Everything else? What do you mean by that, Red?" Tabitha asked, leaning towards her.
Jean looked around her, at her fellow teammates. They all stared at her, with anticipation on her explanation. Jean could feel her cheeks flush with embarrassment. "Well-" She began. She then gulped the sudden saliva building in her throat, "Well, Scott and I aren't exactly what you would call an 'innocent' couple." She explained vaguely.
Elizabeth smiled, as she placed her chin on Kitty's shoulder, as she stared at Jean. "Oh really? And I got the whole 'you should have played it safe' lecture from you when I exposed my relationship with Logan? How long had this been going on?" Elizabeth smiled.
Jean slumped, and looked at her hands resting on her lap, "Well, for about a couple of years or so." She sheepishly answered.
"Oh my god! Jean, please, how do you guys do it with his little 'eye condition'?" Tabitha eagerly asked, her blue eyes lighting up.
"T.M.I!" Kitty spoke up.
"Really!" Amara snapped, rolling her brown eyes.
"Oh, hush up girls." Elizabeth smiled, "It's about time you two talked about intimacy anyway."
Jean shrugged, proceeding to answer Tabitha's question, "Well, unfortunately, he has to wear the shades." She sighed.
"Brian's no joke either." Tabitha grinned, sitting back, as she wrapped her hands around the wooden back of the chair she sat in.
"Okay, that's where I draw the line!" Elizabeth snapped, as she glared at Tabitha, "That is my brother! I really don't need to know what you two do on your own personal time!"
Tabitha's mouth dropped, as she let out a laugh, "Wait a minute! You're not little miss innocent obviously. Now, what we all have been wondering I'm sure of, is how's Logan?" Tabitha smirked.
Elizabeth raised her eyebrow at her. "Logan?" She sighed, and stretched her hands forward, "Well, let's put it this way; he's not called the Wolverine for nothing." She grinned.
Kitty swung around, and looked at her. Rogue shook her head, with a smirk on her face. "Really? Is he like, rough or something?" Kitty asked eagerly.
Elizabeth shrugged. "Well, the only thing I'll say is, thank goodness the walls are soundproof, okay?" She laughed.
"Good god, this conversation has gotten a little dirty." Rogue smirked.
Tabitha looked at the young gothic mutant on the carpet. "Well, if that collar works like Hank says it does, you'll be swooning by tomorrow morning once Gambit gets a hold of ya." Tabitha smiled.
Rogue's mouth dropped in shock, "The Cajun? Oh no, I don't think so!" She slightly laughed.
"Well, time's wasting away. We have to get the cages, and while we're at it, some clothing for our little strip tease." Jean spoke up.
Tabitha eagerly jumped up from her seat. "Let's go!" She squealed.
The girls rushed out of the room into the hallway. They rushed down the long, wide split staircase. "Peter!" Rogue called through the foyer.
Peter rushed out from the ballroom, "Yeah?"
"Can we borrow your truck? We won't hurt it, we promise!" Kitty begged.
Peter raised his eyebrow suspiciously. "Why? Didn't you girls get enough for the party?" He asked them.
"Thanks!" Tabitha smiled, running out of the kitchen with his keys in her hand.
Peter glanced at her, "Wait!" He snapped.
Too late; the girls had rushed out of the mansion, and into the carport. "Damn." He grumbled, "Don't do anything to it! If I find one dent on my car, I swear!" He yelled after them.
"Wait a minute. We all can't fit into Peter's car." Rogue said, stopping at the doorway to the carport.
"Well, Rogue, how about you and Kitty hop into my car with me, and you three take Peter's car?" Elizabeth suggested.
Jean shrugged at the suggestion, "Alright, let's go."
Elizabeth grabbed her car keys. Tabitha hopped into the driver's seat of Peter's Escalade. Jean and Amara followed into the passenger seats. Elizabeth, Rogue, and Kitty rushed to Elizabeth's silver BMW convertible. The door to the carport slid up, as the cars' ignitions started. Elizabeth grinned, slipping a CD into her car's CD player. "Let's roll!" Rogue yelled.
Elizabeth shifted the gear, and burned rubber out of the carport. Tabitha followed. "Great. Two crazy drivers driving us all out to wherever we're going!" Jean snapped, grasping onto her seatbelt.
"Hey relax! I ain't gonna be the cause of your untimely death or anything!" Tabitha smirked, following Elizabeth's car towards the mansion's gates.
*~*~*~*~
Logan looked at Peter as he entered the ballroom. "Where they goin'?" Logan asked.
Peter shrugged, "Beats me. They stole my car!" He snapped.
"I don't have a good feeling about that one. Tabby stole it?" Brian asked, hooking the large speakers to the turntable.
Peter scoffed, "Yeah! Put your girl in check, dammit!" Peter playfully snapped.
Brian shook his head laughing. "Hey, her craziness is exactly why I like her." He smiled.
"You have no idea where they went?" Lance asked.
Peter shook his head. "Nope."
"Well, if it's Tabby's idea, which most likely it is, then I think we're in for a big surprise." Brian smirked.
Logan and Lance looked at each other, raising their eyebrows with suspicion.
