John sat on the bank of the river, and threw a rock into the river. He sighed, thinking about Wanda. She was an extremely beautiful girl; unlike any he's ever seen before. But, he had to rethink his relationship with her; her father was his boss for crying out loud. He himself found out about their relationship, and told him that Wanda deserved better. John cringed at the thought. She was his Scarlet Witch. She had the beauty, she was bad, yet, and she had a caring heart; especially after he watched Mastermind begin to alter her memories. He saw the change in her; she was a lot happier. She began coming around. Why the hell are you gonna hurt the poor girl, dummy?, he thought to himself.
*~*~*~*
Tabitha rushed into the house, closing the door after her. She rushed into the kitchen, and saw Elizabeth at the stove, stirring into a pot. Pietro sat at the breakfast bar, reading through a magazine. "How is she, I came over as soon as I heard!" Tabitha panicked, as she walked towards the two mutants.
Elizabeth looked up at her, raising an eyebrow, "Tabby, I called you four hours ago!" She snapped.
Tabitha scoffed, with a slight smile, "Well, I do have a life, duh!" She scoffed, her usual joking self coming to play. She then sobered, and leaned on the breakfast bar counter, as Elizabeth turned to cut some vegetables. "So how's she been since the big man dumped her?" Tabitha asked.
Rogue stopped as she reached the counter, staring at Tabitha. "You know, you could be a little more sensitive." Rogue told her.
Rogue picked up a piece of sliced french bread on the plate. She tore a piece off, staring at Tabitha. Elizabeth shook her head at Tabitha's comment. Tabitha put her hands up defensively, "Okay, okay. How's she been since the insane man dumped her?" She corrected herself.
Rogue rolled her eyes, shaking her head, and sat at the breakfast bar, picking up her cell phone. She began dialing. Pietro sighed, reading through his magazine. "Horrible. We've been trying to get her out of bed. But, of course, to no prevail." Elizabeth explained.
"What we need, is a big, burly, ugly man to scare her out of bed!" Rogue told them, as she waited on the phone for someone to answer the other line. Her friends looked up at her. "Gambit! Get over here!" Rogue demanded, before hanging up the phone.
Pietro and Elizabeth looked at each other, confused. Tabitha shook her head; as she heard Rogue just refer to her own boyfriend as a big burly ugly man. But, knowing Rogue, she was a sarcastic person. "Well, if worse comes to worse, Wanda will pull out the slides, and wonder where it all went wrong!" Pietro said, as he turned back to the magazine.
"Oh god!" Tabitha cringed.
Pietro's eyes moved up to look at her, "You know about the slides?" Pietro asked.
Tabitha shrugged, and shook her head, "No, I just figured by the way you were talkin' that it was something horrible." Tabitha smiled.
Pietro rolled his eyes, and looked back into his magazine. "Something smells good!" Fred smiled, walking into the kitchen.
Elizabeth smiled, as she grabbed onto the cutting board, piled with vegetables, and walked towards the pot. She pushed the pile of vegetables into the pot. "Well, I'm cooking some stew, and I'm going to use bread bowls for everyone." Elizabeth grinned.
Fred rubbed his large hands together eagerly. Kitty and Lance walked into the kitchen. "Oh god, I'm starving!" Lance smiled, as he walked into the kitchen.
"Is Wanda okay?" Kitty asked.
Everyone shrugged. Toad walked into the kitchen, rubbing his head, "You didn't have to throw me out of the room, you know!" He complained.
Elizabeth shrugged, "Sorry, Toad. Desperate actions call for desperate measures." She smiled.
"How bad is it?" Tabitha asked Rogue.
"Bad." Rogue answered.
"Like, how bad is she?" Tabitha asked for clarification.
Kitty took off her jacket, placing it on the stool at the breakfast bar. "Mariah Carey in Glitter." Rogue compared, as she chewed on the french bread in her mouth.
Tabitha nodded out of understanding.
*~*~*~*
Tabitha opened the door, and looked inside the room, seeing Wanda sitting up, looking through a box of letters. "Hi hun." Tabitha greeted, as she closed the door behind her.
Wanda sniffled, as she read a letter. "Whatcha doin?" Tabitha asked, as she sat next to her.
Wanda gestured to the letter in her hand, "Reading old letters from John. Like this one," She sniffled, and began to sob, "We," She paused, "We need milk!" She then sobbed into the paper.
Tabitha looked up in confusion, "Well. I don't really know that much with the mating rituals of the Australians, but," She then smiled, looking at Wanda, who looked at her with shock of her comment, "But it sounds nice!" Tabitha smiled.
Wanda shook her head at her comment, and placed the letter into the box. She began digging through the box more. "You know, why don't we role play?" Tabitha asked, jumping off the bed excitedly.
Wanda looked up at her, "Role play?"
Tabitha jumped up excitedly, "Yeah! Come on, it'll be fun! I did it with Brian when my dad went to prison! After that, I felt so much better, that I was out, running around, causing havok again!" She grinned.
Wanda sighed, and put the box aside, "Okay, why not." She sniffled.
Tabitha clapped happily, "Okay, okay, I'll be John, and you just talk to me like you're talking to him!" Tabitha grinned.
Wanda shrugged, and sobered, "What went wrong with us?" She asked, looking at her folded hands in her lap.
Tabitha looked up, "I don't know. Things just," She paused thinking of what to say, "Don't work out sometimes."
Wanda looked up at her, leaning towards her, "How can you say that, John? I mean, when was the last time you had sex like that?" Wanda asked.
Tabitha looked at her, shocked, and stumped. "Actually," She gulped, and looked back at Wanda, "Never?"
"I mean, John, didn't you like having sex with me?" Wanda asked.
Tabitha looked up, and sat next to her, getting into the role, "I did." She breathed out.
"I miss you, John!" Wanda cried.
Tabitha looked at her, "I miss you too!"
"I love you John!" Wanda cried.
"I love you Brian!" Tabitha cried out.
Tabitha immediately grabbed onto Wanda's face, and planted her lips onto hers. She stopped, not moving; both of them had their eyes opened wide with shock. They looked at each other, shocked, with their mouths still planted onto each other's. Tabitha pulled away, and looked up, "Hmm." She grunted.
Wanda's eyes looked around her, as they opened wider with shock at what she had just done. "I gotta go." Tabitha quickly said, as she placed Wanda's head onto the pillow.
Tabitha turned, and walked out of the room.
