Are They For Real??
Elizabeth closed the door after her, and looked up into the quiet cabin. Her cabin mates were sitting in the bunks, staring at her. Rogue soon came in, and stopped, noticing the sudden feeling of stares. The two girls stared back at their cabin mates. "What?!" They both hissed in unison.
"What's in your hand, Rogue?" Kitty smiled.
Rogue glanced at the card in her hand, and quickly placed it behind her back, as she walked to stand next to Elizabeth. "Nothing!" She quickly defended herself.
She then turned to look at her best friend, who nervously climbed onto her bunk bed. "Where were you?" Rogue asked suspiciously.
Elizabeth shrugged, "I went for a walk."
"With Pietro!" Kitty laughed.
Rogue's mouth dropped, "Pietro?! What?!"
Elizabeth slipped under the blankets on her bed. "Don't start." She said, hiding her smile.
Tabitha quickly grabbed the card from behind Rogue's back. She saw that it was the Queen of Hearts. "Aww!" Tabitha smiled.
Rogue quickly snatched the card from her hand. "Don't push it, Tabby!" She hissed.
"Hey, at least you didn't kiss him!" Kitty blurted.
Tabitha swung around to glare at her. "Shut up!" She mouthed.
Kitty immediately covered her mouth, gasping. Elizabeth and Rogue looked up at the two girls. "What?" Elizabeth asked, raising her eyebrow.
They heard unison of clearing throats. Wanda snorted, trying to keep in her laugh, as she placed her headphones over her ears. "Nothing!" Kitty said, from under her hand.
"You were spyin' on us?!" Rogue hissed at her.
"Uh, no!" Kitty stuttered as she lied.
Tabitha smiled, as she turned to walk to her bunk. "And what about you?" Rogue asked her.
Tabitha waved her hands in the air defensively, "Hey, whoa! One question at a time!" She smiled. She then pointed to Rogue, "Yes, you?"
Rogue sighed, and walked to the bed under Elizabeth's. "I'm going to sleep."
She kicked off her shoes, and took off her jacket. She then crawled into her bed, and wrapped the blankets over her. Jean used her telekinesis to turn off the light. The cabin became dark, and silence fell as the girls rested. Suddenly, laughing could be heard. "Shut up!" Elizabeth and Rogue yelled in unison.
"Pietro!" Amara blurted through her laughter.
"I said, shut your mouths!" Elizabeth hissed.
*~*~*~*
Toad looked up, from eating his food off of his plate, with the spoon just below his mouth. He noticed Pietro sitting across from him, holding a biscuit in his hand, staring past him. "Yo! What's with you, man?" Toad asked him, trying to get his attention.
Pietro's mouth creased to a smirk, as he continued to stare behind him. Toad turned, to see what he was staring at, and saw Elizabeth walking with Rogue and Wanda towards their own table. He turned back to Pietro, and laughed, "Huh! You got some play last night, didn't ya?" Toad smiled.
Pietro's mouth dropped, as his eyes glared at him with annoyance, "Shut—Shut up, Toad!" He stuttered as he began to concentrate on his plate in front of him.
*~*~*~*
Elizabeth looked up, and saw Pietro glaring at her, holding a biscuit in his hand. Rogue and Wanda looked at each other, and rolled their eyes, with slight smiles. "Pathetic!" Wanda playfully snapped.
Elizabeth looked up at her two friends as she followed them. "What?" She asked.
"Come on, Betts! Pietro! Of all the guys that have fat crushes on ya?!" Rogue smiled.
They finally reached their seats. "Hey you just have to get to know him." Elizabeth smiled, as she took a seat next to Amanda. The other girls listened in, "He's changed some how." Elizabeth finished, as she gushed.
"News flash; News flash! Hell has frozen over!" Tabitha smirked.
The girls laughed with her. Elizabeth sobered, and looked around the table for Jean. "Where's Jean?" She asked.
Kitty tilted her head back towards a nearly empty table behind them. The girls looked, and saw Scott handing a flower to Jean. Jean took the flower, and smiled at him. Kitty and Elizabeth looked at each other, smiling, "Oh man! Are they for real?!" Kitty grinned.
Elizabeth handed Kitty a biscuit, gushing, "Please, Jean, take this biscuit as a symbol of my love!" Elizabeth mocked.
Kitty gushed as well, taking the biscuit, "Oh Scott! You have such a way with pastry!" Kitty grinned.
The two girls laughed at their mocking. The other girls with them laughed as well. Taryn laughed, shaking her head, as she continued to eat her breakfast in front of her. "Those two; they can get so....mushy!" Taryn smiled.
"Oh I know! It's starting to make me sick!" Amara agreed with her.
"Taryn, you have a boyfriend?" Rogue asked her, curiously.
Taryn sighed, shaking her head. "Nah." She rested her chin on her hand, and looked up at Rogue across from her, "I guess you can say I'm starting to get attracted to the fact that mutant guys are hot with advantages!" She smiled.
"Oh! So you're startin' to dig mutant hotties, huh?" Tabitha smiled, taking a bite of her eggs.
Taryn continued eating the food off of her plate, and shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so."
"Well, Ray's single." Kitty smiled.
"Oh god, Ray? He is way too much of a player!" Amanda said, shaking her head.
Elizabeth snapped her fingers, "Scott's brother is coming to visit when we go back home, for the remainder of the summer! We can always fix you up with him!" Elizabeth eagerly suggested.
Rogue covered her mouth, trying to hold back a laugh. "Alex? You're not serious, are you?" Rogue said, after swallowing her food.
Elizabeth shrugged, "Why not?"
"I really don't think that would work. Alex lives in Hawaii." Kitty told her.
Taryn sighed, "Well, I did have my eye on someone, but I guess he's taken a little." She shrugged.
Elizabeth raised her eyebrow; suspiciously, as she probed her mind for the person she was talking about. Gambit. "The Cajun?" Elizabeth gasped.
Taryn looked up at her, her eyes widened with shock. "Just a guess." Elizabeth said, as she quickly turned to her food.
Rogue looked up at Taryn suspiciously. Taryn quickly shook her head, "No! Oh god no!" Taryn gasped, trying to defend herself.
Rogue was about to say something to her; something along the lines of, Go ahead and have him! But, stopped as she felt Elizabeth kicking her shin. "Ow! What the hell was that for?" Rogue snapped, rubbing her shin.
Elizabeth looked up at her, telepathically sending her a warning, "Don't you dare give him to her! He belongs with you and you know it!" She telepathically said into Rogue's mind.
Rogue raised her eyebrow, and sighed. "Yeah, I guess you're right, Betts. Just don't say anything about it, okay?" She said in her mind, knowing Elizabeth would hear her.
Elizabeth winked at her, smiling. "That's my girl!" She telepathically told her.
Rogue shook her head, smiling. Wanda rolled her eyes, staring at Jean and Scott. "Oh god, they're pathetic!" Wanda smirked.
The girls looked towards Jean and Scott's table and saw them nuzzling noses. The girls began spewing out their laughter, and turned towards each other, laughing at what they had witnessed.
