Okay another short chapter! The In the X-men song was contributed by Oracles Maiden, so thanks to you again!

Also a huge thank you to all who have reviewed, your kind contribution does not go with out notice!!!

A few day's later.

We had seen little of Mel and Kat as they spent most of their time with their respective boyfriends, we didn't miss Kat so much, truth be told it was kind of a relief not having to worry about her, but damn, life seemed different without Mel's goody goodness!

I must say it had gotten lonely, so we were secretly looking for her replacement. Wolverine didn't work out as he got easily annoyed especially when we asked him if we could borrow some Tampax and so failed his audition at the first hurdle (he also kept trying to sell Bobby to other passengers which gave him a minus mark!). Scott had got past this part of the audition, and he also passed on his fit boy watching skills, unfortunately (or not) he failed when we asked him to pull a prank on the Professor. We didn't even bother trying Jean. So now all we had left was Hank and Gumbo! Both of whom were flying through our gruelling regime!

 "Anyone up for Karaoke?" Jubes asked

There was a resounding "Yay!" Among our group.

I however was the only sensible one (or party pooper what ever is easier for you) "You can keep me out of this, guys!"

They all got up and made their way to the stage where the decided to sing 'In the Navy' specifically altered to fit in with the X-men

 
There's no joy that measures
The real heartfelt pleasure
Of destroying Logan's Porno stash
Where can you learn to park a jet out of view
And piss off a real banshee
Where else do the kids fly
And not teach you how to drive
But you learn to dance the monster mash
There isn't any big band
And that makes our life's grand
When your team another beats
 
In the X men
Yes, you can shave off all your hair
In the X men
Yes, you can get mauled by a bear
In the X men
Come on now, people, don't you stare
In the X men, In the X men
you can act like a real man
In the X men
We all think Kat should be banned
From the X men
Come on say that you're a fan
of the X men
Come on people, and make a stand
In the X men, In the X men, In the X men (In the X men)
 
X wants you, X wants you
X wants you just as a new recruit
X wants you, X wants you
X wants you just as a new recruit
X wants you, X wants you in the X men
X wants you, X wants you
X wants you just as a new recruit
X wants you, but X wants Scott in the bedroom!

Once they had finished their moving and emotion filled song they came back to the table grinning triumphantly. I sat back easy now that it was just a random C.D being played again. Unfortunately the song was Whitney Houston "I will always love you" which meant the loved up folk were out in force, dancing their little hearts away.

"D'ya wish to dance mon chere?" Gambit said holding out his hand to me

"I don't dance Gumbo, for a start I don't know how!" I said

"Gambit could teach you!"

"No your alright Gumbo ask Jubes she dieing to be asked!" I said as Jubilee said squirming excitedly

"Come on Beastie boy!" Ev said dragging him to his feet

"You anticipated me my dear!" Hank said allowing Evelyn to drag him along.

I looked around the bar, yuck! Everyone was either loved up (even the Prof was chatting up some leggy blonde) or dancing or in some disgusting cases, both. Scott was dancing with Jean but seemed to be taking an unhealthy interest in the drag performer, while Jean was holding Wolverines eyes with her own over Scott's shoulder, it was positively revolting.

I went to take a sip from my glass only to find it empty and so I grabbed Hanks half drank beer and drained it.

"Why ain't you dancin'?" Sheesh did this guy ever go away?

"Because a) I can't and b) I would be terrible even if I could!" I answered truthfully.

Sickening as the sight was out there I couldn't help but wish that I too could move in perfect synchrony with another body. I was also held back by the almost paralysing fear of looking like an idiot.

"I could teach ya!"

"That's the second offer I've had tonight! But no thanks I don't want to be used just to make Red jealous!" I said moving on to Remy's bottle.

"Who said you would be?"

"Don't give me that shit! I saw the pair of you; you couldn't tear your eyes away from her!"

"What's wrong darlin'? Jealous?"

"Don't be ridiculous!" I snorted

Jesus Wolverine was so bloody full of himself.

"As hard as it is to believe, not every female on earth find's you attractive!" I laughed at him.

"Then there wouldn't be no harm in me teaching you ter dance then?"

"What if I don't want to?" I shot back at him

"I know that you do"

"Christ you really are full of yourself!"

"So how about it? I won't ask again" He said holding out his hand (I had to admit he did have nice hands and after all that's the first thing you look at in a guy! Right?!)

"I'll only stamp on your feet!" I said truthfully

"You can stand on 'em if you like" He looked kind, fatherly almost, "It'll help ya get used to the movement!"

"Is it gonna shut you up if I do?"

"I ain't makin' any promises!"

I allowed him to pull me to my feet and let him position my hands. I was very aware that I probably would never have trusted being this close to any other male (Hank maybe being the other exception), not after…well…yeah that.

"You sure I ain't gonna crush your feet?!" I said hesitantly feeling like an idiot already

"It'll take a lot ta do that Sparky"

"I'm heavier then I look!" I warned he just raised his eyebrows sceptically.

Remember my poor lil' muse need's food, its abit on the skinny side (is it my fault that he doesn't like the food I feed him?) so please fatten it up and thou shall be rewarded!!
