Let's Get the Party Started
Elizabeth looked at the door leading to the mansion, and pointed her hand towards it. Her telekinesis came into play, and the door opened. Rogue walked to the back of Peter's escalade, and grabbed onto a go-go cage. She lifted it up with ease, and walked into the mansion with it over her head. Elizabeth and Jean pointed their hands towards the other two go-go cages, and used their telekinesis to lift them into the air. They walked into the mansion with them. Amara, Kitty and Tabitha walked into the mansion carrying the shopping bags. "What are those for?" Evan asked, as Rogue, Elizabeth, and Jean walked by him towards the ballroom.
"You'll see." Jean told him, concentrating on keeping the cage in the air.
The three girls walked into the ballroom, and set the cages in front of the stereo system.

Tabitha walked into the kitchen, and saw three kegs of beer set up on the breakfast bar. "Whoa! Is there anymore?" She asked Logan, as he leaned against the counter drinking out of a beer bottle.
"Yeah, there's beer in the 'fridge." He answered.
Tabitha crossed her arms, staring at him, with a smirk on her face. "I'll only say this once, but Betsy's one lucky girl." She smiled.
Logan lifted an eyebrow at her. Tabitha could see what made the women stare at Logan; he was ruggedly handsome; thick uncontrollable black hair, with chin length bangs that fell in front of his face, oval dark brown eyes that seemed to pierce through anyone when he would look at them. Not to mention the perfectly chiseled muscles around his entire proportion. "Stop staring at me, kid!" Logan snapped, as he walked out of the kitchen.
Tabitha shrugged, "Hey, a girl can't resist! But it's not like I'm wantin' to touch ya or anything!" She laughed.
Tabitha shrugged, smiling. Logan walked into the ballroom, and combed the chin length wisps of hair out of his face. He smiled as he watched Elizabeth hook up the wires leading to the cages into the surge strips behind the stereo system. "What are those for, babe?" He asked.
Elizabeth looked up at him, and smiled. "Oh you'll see!" She grinned.
Logan walked towards her, and knelt next to her. She sat back, and sighed. She looked at him, and grabbed the beer out of his hand. Logan stared at his wife, wondering what the cages could possibly be for. 'Hopefully you'll stash one of those in our room and do a little dirty dancin' for me.', he thought to himself. She took a swig of the bottle. "I suggest you get those dirty thoughts out of your head, luv!" She smiled.
Logan shrugged, "Who says I was thinkin' dirty thoughts?" He asked, with a coy smile on his face as he grabbed the beer from her.
Elizabeth shook her head, laughing, "My telepathy does. That thought was loud enough for me to unavoidably hear it!"
Elizabeth stood to her feet, with Logan following. "I've got to go and change." She smiled at him, "I'll see you in a little bit, luv."
She walked by him, and he slapped his hand playfully to her rear. "You can bet on it, babe!" He smiled.

Rogue looked at her room door as she heard a knock. She opened it, to see Jean, Tabitha and Elizabeth standing in the hallway outside of her room door. She saw that they had already changed into different outfits; Jean wore a red satin snug fitting shirt, and black flare jeans. Her long red hair was pulled back in a loose bun, with a few strands falling loose into her face. Tabitha had on a blue spaghetti strap tank top, and a pair of dark blue pair of hip hugging flare jeans. Her short blonde hair was pulled up and twisted in sections, pinned with tiny blue and clear claw clips. Elizabeth wore a purple scoop long sleeved shirt, and low cut black flare jeans with a silver belly chain wrapped around her hips. Her thick black silk hair fell to her waist. Elizabeth held the thin silver collar in her hand. "Ready to try this out, luv?" Elizabeth smirked.
Rogue sighed, and let the three girls into her room. She was already dressed, with the lingerie under her clothing; a green vinyl strapless corset, tied up the front, and black vinyl flare pants. She sighed, as Elizabeth placed the collar around her neck, buckling it in the center with a thin metal latch. The two girls stared at each other, "Alright then. Here goes nothin'." Rogue uneasily said, removing the glove from her hand.
"Okay, I'll just go ahead and concentrate on my dance moves just in case." Elizabeth smiled.
They nervously touched their fingers together; two seconds passed; nothing. Thirty seconds passed; still nothing. Finally after a minute, nothing had happened. "It works!" Rogue squealed.
"Alright!" Tabitha smiled.
Rogue hurriedly pulled off her other black leather glove. She placed her hands on Elizabeth's face, "See! I'm touchin' ya!" She smiled.
Elizabeth smiled, grabbing onto her friend's hands. She then wrapped her arms around Rogue, hugging her, with Rogue jumping up and down happily. "Oh man, Betsy, you don't know how happy I am!" Rogue smiled.
Elizabeth and Jean looked at each other with smiles. Tabitha glanced at her watch, and placed her hands on her hips, "Well, let's get this party started, okay?"
"Yes, let's!" Jean smiled, as she walked out of the room.
Rogue threw her gloves onto her bed behind her. "Let's roll."
*~*~*~*~
The doorbell rang, and Ray rushed to the door with a beer bottle in his hand, "Hey!" He greeted the guests.
He ushered in the two young men and two teenage girls into the mansion. "Ballroom's down that way, beer and munchies are in the kitchen, don't break anything!" Ray smiled, ushering them in.
He glanced out towards the front area, and nearly gasped as he saw Wanda walking towards the mansion with John on her arm. The two reached the doorstep. "Hi, Ray." Wanda sheepishly greeted.
Ray's mouth formed a slight smile, "Wanda?"
His brown eyes searched her up and down; she wore a short black vinyl dress that laced up the front; fishnet tights were covering her legs, yet cut off by black vinyl go-go boots. She wore her usual long red trench coat. Her short cut black hair was plainly combed on her head. John on the other hand dressed like the usual "punk rock guy" that he was. His orange dyed hair was spiked up; he wore wide legged jean pants, and an oversized black logo shirt. "Come on in, you guys." Ray smiled.
John and Wanda walked into the mansion, stepping into the foyer. "Don't burn anything." Ray told John, the infamous Pyro.
"No worries, mate." John smiled, through his thick Aussie accent.
Ray pointed towards the large hallway at the right side of the staircase. "Kitchen is providing beer, and munchies, the party's bein' held in the ball room just down the hall. Have fun!" Ray smiled.
They followed Ray towards that hallway. "I'm gonna grab a beer, luv. You want anything?" John asked Wanda, as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
Wanda shrugged, "I guess a beer's good enough for me." She smiled.
They both walked into the kitchen. The kitchen was crowded with unfamiliar faces, as well as some familiar faces, hovering around the kegs of beer, and the munchies on the table. "Wanda! John!" Lance grinned from the keg.
Wanda shyly waved at him. Lance grabbed two beer filled plastic cups, and walked towards them. He handed them their cups, "Glad you guys could come." Lance smiled.
"Thanks for inviting us, Lance." Wanda slightly smirked.
"Oh yeah! Oh yeah! I'm pissed!" Brian yelled, dancing into the kitchen.
Brian walked towards the keg, filling up his empty cup. "What?" Lance asked him.
"Oh, in your words, I'm drunk!" Brian grinned.
He then looked at Wanda and John, "Oh hi there!" He smiled.
John tilted his head up in greeting. The bass from the loud music could be head from the ballroom. "Where's Tabitha?" Wanda curiously asked.
Brian gestured towards the doorway, "She's partying in the ballroom. Why don't you go say hi to the girls, Wanda?" Brian asked.
Wanda looked at John, as if telling him she was going to part from him. She walked out of the kitchen, making her way through the crowd of guests. She walked into the ballroom, and looked around from the double doorway. The ballroom was dark, save for the strobe lights, which blinked with the rhythm of the music. The blue and red small club spotlights glared and circulated around the large room. The wooden floor was covered with dancing guests. There were four covered cages in the front and center of the room, positioned in front of the turntable system. She smiled, as she saw the "X Girls" dancing in the middle of the floor. She walked towards them, squeezing through the crowd. Elizabeth first saw her, and smiled, "Wanda!" She screamed.
Wanda shyly smiled. Tabitha swung around, and grabbed onto her, nearly knocking her over, "Oh man! I'm so glad you could come!" Tabitha exclaimed.
"Come on, Wanda, join us with the dancing!" Kitty grinned, pulling her forward.
Wanda uneasily looked around, seeing her former adversaries dancing around her. She noticed Rogue dancing with Elizabeth; touching her hands with her own bare skin. Yet, nothing was happening. "Rogue! What's up with the bare hands?" Wanda called.
Rogue glanced at her, while dancing with her best friend, "Oh, it's the collar! It's suppressing my X Gene! Mr. McCoy came up with it!" Rogue answered her.
Wanda nodded, and drank out of her beer. "Come on, girl, dance!" Tabitha smiled, dancing in front of Wanda.
Wanda shrugged, and gulped the rest of her beer. She then proceeded to dance with the girls.
