Lance parked his jeep outside of the carport of the Xavier Institute for the Gifted. Jasmine, Pietro's date, stepped out, with the help of Pietro. She looked up, at the large mansion in front of her, "Wow!" She gushed. "Who are we here to pick up again?"
"Everyone else." Lance answered, as he rushed to the glass doors.
The long black limousine waited in the circular driveway just outside of the mansion. John ushered Wanda towards the doorstep, followed by Toad, Pietro, and Jasmine. Lance rang the doorbell. He smiled, as he saw Kitty rushing to the door. She opened it, and threw out her arms, "Well? Whatya think?" She smiled, modeling the dress on her body.
She wore a two piece dress, a long pink skirt that fell plainly to her ankles, and a matching pink spaghetti strap top, with a chiffon pink scarf around her neck. Her dark brown hair was up in an elegant twist, leaving some strands to fall around her face. "I like!" Lance grinned, as he grabbed onto her waist, giving her a long kiss.
Kitty smiled, as he walked into her, causing her to back up into the foyer, letting the others inside. The two kissers pulled away, smiling. Lance smiled, as he dug into his pocket of his black coat, and pulled out a white and pink rose corsage. He strapped it around her wrist. "So where's Betsy?" Pietro asked.
Kitty smiled up at Lance, and then turned to Pietro to answer his question, but stopped herself, as she heard Elizabeth from the stairs, "We're right here."
The guests looked towards the stairs, to see Rogue and Elizabeth making their way down the large split staircase. Pietro and Toad smiled at Elizabeth, examining what she chose to wear. She wore a dark blue silk Chinese dress that fell to her ankles, hugging onto her figure perfectly. The material was embroidered with designs of a black thread. Her long silk black hair fell to her waist, with half of it pinned up with two black Chinese hair sticks that poked up through the back. Her makeup was plainly done, with dark red lipstick colored on her lips. Black eyeliner topped her eyelids, defining the almond shape of her eyes. "Wow." Toad mumbled.
Gambit, Brian, and Tabitha stepped out of the recreational room. Gambit's mouth nearly dropped to the floor as he stared at his date, Rogue. "Whoa, chere!" He smiled.
Rogue smiled at him, as she made her way to him in the foyer. She wore her hair up in an elegant bun. She wore a long black skirt, that fell plainly to her ankles, with a scoop sleeved dark green top, with chiffon sleeves. She chose to wear her makeup plainly at Elizabeth's force; her eyes were lightly lined with neutral colored eyeliner, magnifying her dark green emerald eyes. She wore a dark green crystal necklace around her neck, that formed into a Y reaching down her chest. She threw her arms out, letting Gambit examine her, "Well? Like it?" She smiled, as she turned, letting him get a full examination of her.
Gambit smiled, nodding in approval. Elizabeth stood in front of Toad. He wore the outfit that the girls had chosen for him; black slacks, and a dark gray turtle neck sweater. His short cut dark brown hair was spiked with gel. He had the image inducer activated. Kurt teleported into the foyer with Amanda on his arm. "Okay, let's go!" Kurt excitedly said.
Pietro glared at Elizabeth, almost forgetting his own date. He watched Toad, as Toad placed the rose corsage around Elizabeth's wrist. "Let's roll!" Rogue grinned.
*~*~*~*
Tabitha grinned, pouring the champagne she took from the mansion, into the champagne glasses in the limo. "Tabitha, we're like, not supposed to drink!" Kitty smiled, as Tabitha passed around the filled glasses to the couples in the limo.
Tabitha scoffed as she poured the last glass, "Please! A glass of champagne ain't gonna hurt anyone!" She laughed.
Tabitha placed the champagne bottle into its metal holder with ice, and held up her glass. "Well, here's to a night of fun!" Amanda toasted.
Everyone clinked their glasses together, and took the sip of their champagne. "And, and!" Tabitha spoke up, as she swallowed her mouthful of champagne, "Here's to Toad's new makeover! May it bring him many nights of hot passionate and sweaty sex!" Tabitha grinned.
Elizabeth, Wanda, and Rogue snorted, trying to keep in their laughs. Toad blushed, grinning, "Here here!" He grinned, holding up his glass.
They all clinked their glasses together. Pietro smiled, as he finished off his glass, and put it into the holder next to him. He glanced up at Elizabeth across from him, as she talked with Toad and her twin. He kept his eyes on her, as he scooted closer to his date. He wrapped his arm around his date, "Lookin' good, Jasmine!" Pietro said, slightly raising his voice, as he turned his head to his date next to him.
Jasmine smiled at him, "Thanks!" She then frowned, as she noticed his eyes still on Elizabeth.
She growled as she grabbed onto his chin, turning his head to look at her. He gasped, with his eyes opening wider with shock, "What?" He snapped.
"You're here with me! Not that!" Jasmine snapped, gesturing towards Elizabeth.
Elizabeth glanced towards Pietro, and smiled, as she saw Jasmine's face beginning to flush with slight anger.
*~*~*~*
The music blared throughout the gym of Bayville High School; the lights were dimmed, with colored spotlights hanging from the ceilings. The large crowd of couples made their way into the gym. Toad has his arm around Elizabeth's shoulder, as she had her hand planted on his chest. The two made their way into the gym almost regally, as they noticed glances from the other students in the gym around them. Gambit had his arm hung around Rogue, holding her close to him. Wanda's arm was linked with John's, as they stood in the entryway next to their friends. "Come on, Lance! Let's go dance!" Kitty laughed, as she pulled onto Lance's arms.
Lance smiled, following his eager girlfriend. "Lets go find a table!" Wanda loudly said, over the loud music.
*~*~*~*
Toad and Elizabeth stood next to Brian and Tabitha, and Rogue and Gambit, in line for the pictures. A couple in front of them turned to Elizabeth and Toad, and interrupted the conversation the couple was having with their friends, "Excuse me?" The male student interrupted.
Toad and Elizabeth turned, and faced the student couple in front of them. "Are you Todd Tolansky?" The male student asked.
Toad and Elizabeth looked at each other, nodding, and then at the couple in front of them. "Like your new look!" The girl smiled.
"Yeah, and Elizabeth, you're looking nice tonight." The male student smiled.
The girl on his arm glared at him with annoyance at his comment. "Besides, Todd, I thought you were liking Wanda Maximoff? Why the change?" The male asked.
Toad smiled confidently, and threw his arm around Elizabeth. "Well, she's in love with me, but me?" He gestured to Elizabeth, who nodded at his statement, "I got my girl right here," Elizabeth nodded, at Toad's next comment, and he then continued, "Right bitch?" Toad joked, as he pulled Elizabeth towards him.
Elizabeth played along, and Toad kissed her over dramatically. Rogue and Gambit glared at the two with shock, as well as Tabitha and Brian. "I know he did not just call her what I think he just did!" Tabitha laughed.
Elizabeth and Toad pulled away at each other, looking at each other, and playfully began barking at each other. They then smiled, and turned to the couple in front of them. "Oh-kay!" The male student said, rolling his eyes, as he turned to face the front of the line again.
Elizabeth and Toad began laughing at their actions. "I can't believe you guys just did that!" Rogue laughed from behind them.
The two looked at their friends, "Hey, it's all part of the plan, right?" Toad laughed.
"Yeah, looks like Pietro got a glimpse of that by the way." Brian smirked, gesturing towards their table.
Toad and Elizabeth looked at the table, and saw Pietro glaring at them with anger and jealousy. "Hmm, looks like he did." Elizabeth mumbled with a smirk on her face.
