Shopping at Fredrick's

            Tabitha grabbed onto Jean's arm as she dragged her into the Fredrick's of Hollywood store. "Alright! Some kinky clothing!" Tabitha grinned.

            Elizabeth, Rogue, Kitty, and Amara followed. "I really don't want to see what she picks out for my own twin." Elizabeth snapped.

            "You're telling me. Tabitha. Scary." Kitty smirked.

            "Ooo! Check out these G Strings!" Tabitha smiled, holding up a hanger.

            Jean tilted her head, staring at the black piece of 'thread' hanging on the plastic hanger. The other girls encircled around her. "Uh, how is that supposed to even hang on that hanger? Isn't that like, a waste of plastic?" Kitty asked.

            "Amanda's coming to the party, right?" Elizabeth asked.

            "Yeah, Kurt invited her. So is Wanda." Tabitha answered.

            Tabitha pulled on Jean's arm towards the pieces of lingerie. "Follow me girls!" Tabitha grinned.

            Elizabeth dug through her pocket, and pulled out her cell phone. She dialed Amanda's cell phone number, as she followed her friends. She placed the thin silver cell phone to her ear, as she looked through the rack of lingerie. "Hello?" Amanda answered after a few rings.

            "Manda luv. It's Betsy." Elizabeth smiled.

            "Oh, hey Betsy! What's up?" Amanda greeted from the other line.

            "Nothing really. Listen, Tabby's come up with a crazy idea of putting on a strip show for the boys tonight. You want to join us?" Elizabeth grinned.

            Amanda thought for a moment in silence. "Everyone else will be watching us?" Amanda asked.

            Elizabeth glanced at Rogue, who stood in front of her waiting. She raised her eyebrow, and playfully stuck out her tongue, "Yeah, everyone will be watching us. All of us girls have decided to do it. We're at Fredrick's right now buying some clothing for it. We already got a couple of cages and everything." Elizabeth paused, "Come on, Amanda. Please? It'll be fun!" She smiled.

            Amanda shrugged, "Eh, why not. I've been looking for something that'll turn on Kurt anyway." She smiled.

            "Alright then. Pick something out and bring it with you to the party. Dress nice and sexy, and we're going to surprise them with it, alright?" Elizabeth smiled.

            "Alright, Betsy. I'll see you guys tonight then." Amanda smiled.

            "Okay, luv. Bye now." Elizabeth smiled before hanging up the phone.

            "Amanda's doin' it too?" Jean asked.

            "Yeah. Why shouldn't she? Even though she's not an X Girl, she might as well be." Elizabeth smirked, placing her cell phone into a back pocket of her black jean flare pants.

            Jean shrugged, "Alright then."

            The girls looked through the racks for lingerie. Amara's lip lifted in slight disgust as she stared at a leather lingerie piece on a mannequin figure. The black leather strapped over the breast area in an X shape, with a high cut bikini bottom. "Now that's a little outrageous." Amara snapped.

            Tabitha smiled. "Well, not really. But, Amara, are you gonna try to impress Bobby?" Tabitha asked her.

            Amara sighed, "I don't know, Tabby. I don't think I'm ready to expose my nakedness towards him." She sheepishly answered her friend.

            Tabitha looked up in thought, "Well, you can always freak him. Dress all skimpy and dance in the cage. He'll come." Tabitha grinned.

            Amara looked up at her, "What do I wear?"

            "Well, let's look around, hun." Tabitha smiled, grabbing onto her arm.

*~*~*~*~

            *BAMF*

            Kurt teleported into the ballroom, and handed Logan a rolled up black wire strip. "So, what's this I hear about the girls disappearing?" Kurt asked the boys in the room.

            "I have no clue, man. They didn't even wait for me to approve of them takin' my car!" Peter snapped, hooking the strobe lights to the control panel.

            Kurt sighed, watching Logan tape the wire strip onto the wooden floor, leading towards the turntable stereo system in the center of the large ballroom. "Logan, are you sure we can have this party?" Kurt asked, attempting to get a reassurance out of him.

            Logan sighed, and looked up at him. "Look, elf. I really don't care. As long as this place gets cleaned up tomorrow, and there's no trace, 'cause it's not my ass, okay?" Logan answered him.

            "Betsy promised you something, didn't she?" Brian spoke up.

            Logan shrugged, "Maybe." He smirked to himself.

            "What's it like, Logan? Bein' married to Elizabeth and all." Lance asked, as he tested the P.A system of the turntables.

            Logan shrugged, "Good. She ain't a bad wife you know. She's a good woman." Logan smiled.

            "Well, what's it like being with Kitty?" Brian asked Lance.

            Lance placed his hands onto the rim of the stereo system. He shrugged, with a slight smirk on his face, "She's a hottie. She's completely changed my life." He sighed, as he continued to test the system, "She's kept me in check."

            Peter stopped looking at the other boys in the room, "What is it with those girls, anyway? Changing our lives and everything. I mean, I'm not really with anyone, but those girls still have had an impact on me." Peter sighed.

            Scott shrugged, as he folded up the ladder in the middle of the room. "I don't know really. They are all seriously one of a kind girls." Scott said.

            "You're tellin' me." Logan spoke up.

            "Thanks Logan for letting us have this, though. We owe ya one." Kurt smiled.

            "Let's just hurry this up? I need a beer." Logan demanded.

*~*~*~*~

            Rogue flipped open the curtains of the dressing room stall, and looked at the eager faces of her friends. "No way! I am so not wearing this!" Rogue hissed.

            Rogue adjusted the green vinyl bra. She ran her gloved hands down her bare skin, and attempted to squeeze her fingers in between her hips and the thin straps of the bikini matching vinyl panties. "I feel like I'm bein' strangled!" Rogue snapped.

            "Are you kidding?! You look great!" Tabitha smiled.

            Jean and Elizabeth crossed their arms, and tilted their heads to the side, staring at her. "I think it makes your figure stand out, luv." Elizabeth smiled.

            Jean nodded in agreement, as the two telepaths straightened their heads in unison. Rogue sighed, and rushed back into the dressing room stall. "Will you hurry up already? We so need to go back and change and set up the cages!" Tabitha demanded, glancing at her watch around her wrist.

            "Alright! Hold your balls, geez!" Rogue hissed from behind the curtains.

            Elizabeth let out a laugh at her best friend's comment. "Well, at least Hank made the collar look a little stylish. Hopefully it'll work." Jean smirked.

            "Well, here's hopin'." Rogue sighed, sticking her arm through the split of the thick black curtain, crossing her fingers.

            "So you do wanna get Gambit in the sack?" Tabitha smirked.

            "Oh, ew! Totally not what I needed to picture!" Kitty snapped, lifting her lip in disgust.

            "Tabitha, before I shove my fist down your throat, why don't you shut up!" Rogue snapped, flipping open the curtains.

            Rogue shoved the lingerie into Tabitha's arms. She then crossed her arms across her chest, glaring at her. Tabitha only smiled, "Hey, don't worry about it, Rogue. You gotta let the wild child in you get out! I know it's there!" Tabitha smirked, as she walked towards the cash register.

            Rogue sighed heavily, and looked at Elizabeth. "Don't look at me. Everyone already knows how wild I get." Elizabeth defensively smirked at her.

            Rogue shrugged, "I wasn't implyin' anything." She sighed, and followed her friends, alongside with Elizabeth, "Betts, I don't know. I mean, I really like Gambit and everythin'. It's just that sometimes he can be such a prick!" Rogue sighed.

            Elizabeth let out a laugh, "Oh, don't worry about his little cocky attitude. He really adores you, luv. Give into him, and let yourself go for once." Elizabeth smiled, linking her arm through Rogue's sleeved arm.

            Rogue looked at her, and finally nodded, "Yeah, I guess you're right."
