Author's note- I've been reading a lot of fanfiction from X-Men Evolution.
I've seen many love triangles. This is the one I have never seen.
Tabby/John/Ray. And no, I'm not on drugs, this was just a thought that
came to me which proves that I shouldn't work on my stories after 3 am.
I'm not going to dwell on it much but I figured that I could use a little
more romance that wasn't Lancitty or Romy.

Lunch and the Tour
~*~
There's a beauty of a moon in the sky
But I guess when you've been leading such a sheltered life
You never lift your head and look so high

"Allow me to make this understood," Magneto said. "We will have no incidents like this morning."
"Yes sir," the young mutants said.
"Anyone caught throwing food will be." he paused looking over at Ororo for an idea.
"Grounded," Ororo said. Remy and a few of the older mutants merely looked at her. "That goes for all of you."
"Yes, grounded," Magneto said. He and the adults took their food into the living room. Everyone saw Scott walk by muttering about images and suicide. The group stared after him as he walked outside.
"Um. that was different," Evan said.
"Understatement," Pietro said. Lance and Kitty walked in sitting beside Rogue and Remy.
Jean turned to the couple raising an eyebrow. "What did you two do to him?" Kitty and Lance exchanged amused glances.
"Nothing," Kitty said shrugging. "It's not our fault if he, like, assumes things." Lunch actually went pretty well. The three groups managed to not annoy each other too much.
"Well, since all of ya are stayin' we might as well show ya around," John said. He led the groups outside. "The pool is there."
"Yep, that's a pool," Ray said leaning against the door.
"Do ya want to get up close and personal with it?" John demanded. Scott walked up to them.
"Where were you?" Jean asked.
"Thinking up a way to kill myself," Scott said.
"Come up with anything?" Pietro asked smirking. Jean glared at him.
"Plenty," Scott said.
"Scott it couldn't have been that bad," Jean said.
"You weren't there!" Scott cried. Jean patted him on the shoulder glaring at Lance and Kitty who were struggling to keep a straight face. The others were also staring at the couple confused.
"We should go swimming later," Jubilee said.
"Dat's a disaster waitin' ta happen," Remy said.
"Definitely," Lance said from beside the Cajun.
"Where's your since of adventure?" Kitty asked.
"What *did* you two do ta Scooter?" Rogue asked.
"Just made sure he thought that something that didn't happen happened," Kitty said.
"Remy est desolee," the Cajun said to Lance clasping him on the shoulder at the word "didn't". Lance nodded knowing what the Cajun meant. So did Rogue which earned him an elbow to the side.
"Moving on," John said. "There is where we have our tennis court and basketball court."
"Hey, Daniels, up for a game?" Pietro asked smirking. Evan started to respond but John was moving inside.
"That as you know is the living room," John said. "The study is through there." They went into another room. "This is the training room." He led them through a door next to the training room. "And our rec. room, complete with Karaoke machine." He threw the microphone to Tabby. "Care to sing us a song, Sheila?" Ray narrowed his eyes seeing that the Aussie was flirting with her.
"I don't sing," Tabby said smiling at him.
"I do!" Pietro ran up grabbing the microphone. He hit a few buttons and began singing "I'm Too Sexy." (can we expect him to sing anything else?)
"If he starts stripping Ah'm outta here," Rogue said.
"I'll be right behind you," Kitty said. Pietro finished his song and Kitty and Rogue sighed relieved that he was still fully clothed. The two girls sat down. Lance sat in front of the couch while Remy sat beside Rogue. Remy reached out taking Rogue's hand, surprised when the Goth girl didn't pull away.
"Any one else?" John asked taking on the role of MC.
"I miss my guitar," Lance sighed leaning against Kitty's legs.
"Like, you play?" Kitty asked smiling at him.
"Yeah," Lance said. "Rather, I did. My guitar's still at the Boarding House." He laid his head on her knee, inconspicuously caressing her calf. He felt her tense slightly. He ran his finger in small circles under her knee. She jumped causing the others to look at her.
"Um, I got a chill," she lied. When the others looked away she kicked him. He winced before moving back to where he was.
"Ah don't wanna know," Rogue said seeing Kitty kicking her boyfriend.
"Remy agrees." John himself got onto the stage singing Matchbox Twenty's "Downfall" while looking at Tabby. Smiling, Kitty nudged Rogue and pointed at Ray who had small amount of sparks bouncing off of his fingers.
"Energyboy's not too happy," Remy laughed when Rogue pointed it out to him. John finished handing the mic. to Roberto who began singing to Amara. Everyone was surprised that everyone who had sung so far had a pretty decent voice.
"Are none of the girls going to sing?" Kitty asked.
"Why don't you, sugah?" Rogue asked her friend.
"No one here would appreciate my music," Kitty said raising her head.
"Country," Rogue explained to Remy.
He winced. "You be right about dat, petite." Kitty narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms.
"Sorry, Kit-Cat, I have to agree with Remy on this one," Lance said. She kicked him again. "Ow!" He resumed his actions of caressing her leg.
"Aren't you uncomfortable?" Kitty asked as his one hand gradually moved up.
"Nope," he said smiling. "You?" She looked at him then at the others who hadn't noticed yet.
"Mes amis," Remy who *had* noticed said. "Get a room." Kitty attempted to move her leg out of his reach feeling her cheeks burning. Rogue chuckled softly. They looked at the stage where Jamie was singing "Like a Virgin."
"That is just wrong," Kitty said shaking her head.
"The fact that he's singing or what he's singing?" Lance asked.
"Both," Kitty said. Kurt teleported over to the two couples. "Hi, Kurt!"
"Hey," Kurt sat down on the arm of the couch.
Rogue noticed how dejected the elf seemed. "Missing Amanda?"
"Yeah," Kurt said. "Magneto let me use ze phone. She says she still likes me but. I just wish I could see her."
"Why don't you invite her over?" Kitty offered.
"Yeah, to see a mansion of freaks," Kurt sighed. He looked at Remy and Lance. "Uh, no offense."
"None taken," Lance said looking at his former rival.
"Remy will just pretend you were referin' to some other freaks."
"Kurt she liked you even after she saw your form," Rogue said. "Ah doubt if she'd be afraid of the rest of us."
"Yeah, we wouldn't hurt her," Kitty said.
"It's not you four I'm worried about," Kurt said looking over at the others.
"Dey be all talk," Remy said waving a dismissive hand. "Don't worry about it. If Remy has ta he'll keep dem out of your hair."
"Really?" Kurt asked happily.
"Sure, elf," Rogue said. "We'll make sure ya have a private date."
"Thanks," Kurt said flashing a smile. "I have to go call her."
"Ah, young love," Remy said with a mocking sigh. Piotr stepped onto the stage. "Merde."
"What?" Rogue asked.
"Let's just say that comparatively Monsieur Jamie was a tres bon chanteur," Remy said. Everyone winced as the large mutant began singing.
"Ah understand," Rogue said.
"Well, I for one am getting bored," Remy said. "I will be having a poker game in the back of the room!" he announced. Most of the mutants followed Remy to the back table. Shaking her head Rogue followed him.
"Aren't you going to play?" Kitty asked as Lance sat beside her.
"Play poker with a guy called Gambit?" Lance asked raising an eyebrow. "Count me out. Besides, none of us have any money."
"We're not playing for money, mom ami," Gambit smirked.
"Strip poker," Piotr said sitting down after he finished his song.
"Wait," Kitty said looking pointedly at Jamie. Jubilee was leaving so she took him with her and Bobby, Rahne, and Roberto.
"See, pas de problem," Remy said. "Deal ya in?"
Kitty shook her head. "Um, no thanks, I've never played before."
"Then you should definitely play," Ray said. Tabby slapped his arm but Kitty just rolled her eyes. She looked at her team leaders in surprise. Both Scott and Jean were sitting at the table.
"Looks like we're the only one's not playing," Lance said stretching out on the couch. Kitty nodded laying down beside him, half on his chest.
"Suicidal urges coming back," Scott muttered. Kitty just smiled burying her head in Lance's shoulder
