Pietro stared at the girls' side of the camp, towards the X Girls cabin. Brian walked up towards him, and stood behind him. "What are you thinking about, Speedy?" Brian smirked, as he crossed his muscular arms across his chest.
Pietro rolled his eyes, and turned to him. "Nothing."
He began to walk towards their cabin. "Why don't you go talk to her?" Brian said, not moving, as Pietro walked past him.
Pietro stopped, and turned to look at him. "She'll kill me, Brian. She's pissed enough that I took her lingerie!" Pietro hissed at him.
Brian let out a laugh, "You think you know Betsy, don't you?" He said, as he turned to him.
Pietro turned to face him fully. He raised his eyebrow suspiciously, and crossed his arms, "Alright, then. Enlighten me!"
Brian shook his head, and put his hands into the pocket of his baggy blue jeans. "Look, I'm her twin. I'll admit something to you that you have to promise not to say one damn word. Not even to her, got it?!" Brian snapped. Pietro nodded, and Brian continued, "Well, she has told me that she thought of you as a looker. But, she's not really the type to just walk up to a guy and kiss them, for God's sake. She's actually pretty shy when it comes to a guy she likes, you know." Brian smirked.
Pietro slightly smiled, "She thinks I'm cute?"
Brian shrugged, and walked back towards their cabin. "Just a thought to keep in mind, mate!" Brian said, as he walked past him.
Pietro smiled, but then frowned. He turned to Brian, "Why are you helping me?"
Brian shook his head, as he looked at him, "Who says I was helping you?"
*~*~*~*
Wanda answered the door as she heard the door knock. She growled as she saw her own twin brother, Pietro, standing at the doorway. "Uh-", He gasped as he saw his sister.
He held his hands up defensively. "Pietro!" She hissed.
"Wanda! Don't murder me! I just wanna talk to Betsy, that's all!" He quickly said, defending himself.
Elizabeth soon stood behind her, staring at him with confusion. Pietro's eyes widened with awe and intimidation as he stared at Elizabeth. Wanda turned to look at her. "You want to talk to him, Betts?" Wanda asked.
Elizabeth shrugged, as she glanced at Wanda. "Sure, I guess."
Wanda sighed, and walked into the cabin, letting Elizabeth walk to the doorway. "Betsy and Pietro, sitting in the tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Tabitha sang.
Elizabeth rolled her eyes, and walked out of the cabin, as she heard Tabitha's singing followed by giggles from her cabin mates. She closed the door behind her, and looked up at her guest, crossing her arms. Pietro stared at her, not knowing what to say. "Well?" She asked, waiting for him to say something.
His mouth opened, but nothing came out. For the first time in his whole life, he couldn't say a word. He felt his cheeks flush, as Elizabeth raised an eyebrow at him. They stood in silence, staring at each other for a few moments. He gulped, and finally spoke. "Uh, your hair looks nice." He said.
He quickly realized what he said, and looked up, snarling his lip at his stupidity. Oh you moron, what kind of line is that?, he thought to himself. Elizabeth sensed his thoughts, and smiled, "Well, thank you. Your sister did it." She smiled, rubbing her hand on her head, combing back the stray strands of hair back towards the thick french braid on her head.
"Uh, look. I'm really sorry about stealing your clothes." He apologized. "And booby trapping your cabin." He paused, as she smiled at him again. "And throwing the stink bombs in your cabin."
Elizabeth shrugged, "No biggie. Just don't do it again." She smiled.
He nervously put his hands in his pockets of his jeans. He began nervously moving back and forth from his heels to the bald of his feet. Elizabeth let out a laugh, "Well, I'm sorry for the liquid heat and all that stuff." She smirked.
Pietro nodded, to accept the apology. They stood in silence. Elizabeth looked away nervously. She finally sighed, speaking, "Well, what'd you want to talk to me about?" She asked him.
Pietro looked up at her, and gulped as her eyes moved up to look at him. "Well, I uh," He paused, wondering what to say. "Wanna go for a walk or something?" He asked.
Elizabeth looked up at him, slightly smiling, "Walk?! You want to walk, Quicksilver?" She smiled.
Pietro grinned at her, and winked, "Come on." He said, ushering her towards the steps of the cabin porch.
Elizabeth shrugged, and followed him towards the courtyard ahead of them.
*~*~*~*
Wanda stared out the window, her mouth dropping as she watched Elizabeth walk side by side with Pietro towards the courtyard. "Oh my god!" Wanda laughed.
Jean, Kitty, and Tabitha rushed to her side, to stare out the window. They saw the backs of Pietro and Elizabeth. They laughed as they saw Pietro's hands behind his back, one hand occasionally attempting to wrap around Elizabeth, but pulling back in nervousness. "Good god! He's actually nervous with Betsy?!" Tabitha grinned.
Wanda glanced at the girls at her side, smirking, "You don't know how bad my brother likes her!" Wanda smiled.
Jean looked at her with her eyes widened with shock, "That's kind of....shocking!"
Wanda stood up and walked towards the card game she left with Amanda. "Why?"
"Because. Pietro's kind of..." Jean paused, nervous to continue her sentence about Pietro to Wanda.
Wanda glanced at her as she sat in front of Amanda. "A jerk? A player?" Wanda grinned, as she grabbed her turned down hand of cards.
Kitty and Jean looked at each other, shrugging, and then they nodded. "Yeah." Jean sheepishly finished.
Wanda nodded, looking at her cards. "Don't worry about it. Pietro is an arrogant asshole. But, he's actually a caring person once you get under his skin." Wanda smiled, placing a card from her hand on the pile in between her and Amanda.
Tabitha rested her chin her hands as she stared out the window, sighing, "I think they're cute together." She smiled.
Kitty grabbed onto Tabitha's arm. "Come on! Let's go spy on them and Rogue and Gambit!" Kitty eagerly smiled.
Tabitha smiled at her, "Okay!"
They both phased through the wall to the outside.
AN- Okay, this chapter (i know kill me for all the A.N's...hehehe...but this chapter is SOOO inspired by the song by Crazy Town's Butterfly. Due to the fact that in the comic verse, that's what a lot of people referred to Psylocke (Elizabeth) as. A butterfly, cuz she's so exotic....and Pietro...INTIMIDATED?!?!? Oh, and don't worry...the next chapter includes the "talks" between Gambit/Rogue, and Pietro/Elizabeth....AWWWW! Get your sighs ready, and hold on to your teeth! WOOHOO!
