A Proposal and Cutting A Deal

            Elizabeth crossed her arms across her chest, holding her purse to her, as she used her hand attempting to light the cigarette in her mouth. Suddenly, the cigarette was snatched from her mouth. She turned, to find Pietro dropping the unlit cigarette to the ground, "Those are bad for you, doll face." He smiled.

            "Pietro, I smoke when I drink. Now, give me the bloody fag!" She hissed, grabbing for his hand with the cigarette.

            Pietro held his hand away from her, dropping the cigarette to the ground. He then stomped onto it, "Let's talk, okay?" He told her.

            Elizabeth sighed, and turned away from him. "What's going through your head, Betts?" Pietro asked curiously.

            Elizabeth ran her hands through her black hair, and strapped the purse over her shoulder, "I don't know, really. I guess you can say I'm going through one of my moods." She sighed.

            Pietro turned her to face him by her shoulders, "Betsy, what is it? What's going on inside that huge head of yours?" He smirked.

            Elizabeth pushed him away from her, offended at his comment, "Why don't you go back to your girlfriend, Pietro!" She hissed.

            She attempted to brush past him back into the house, but he grabbed onto her arm. "Girlfriend? Betsy, look at me." He said, turning to her.

            Elizabeth turned her head to the side, and he grabbed onto her arms, lightly squeezing them. "Look, I'll admit; I was trying to make you jealous. But, after taking a step back, and looking at the whole situation, I've come to a realization." She told him.

            Pietro wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on her shoulder, "What's that?"

            Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "Well, the fact of the matter is, is that I am the only one who doesn't have someone whose eyes are only for me!" She snapped, squirming from his grip.

            Pietro only held onto her, "Look, there's nothing like that. No one has that. And, to tell you the truth, I accepted Jasmine's invitation to the dance for the same purpose; to make you jealous." He admitted to her.

            Elizabeth relaxed, and turned to him. Pietro placed his hands on her face, "You're it for me, Betts. There's nothing more to that. I actually wanted to rip Toad's head off when I saw him kiss you in the gym earlier, but I just decided to keep my cool." He smiled.

            Elizabeth slightly smiled, "Really? You really mean that?"

            Pietro shrugged, "Yeah. Besides; who wouldn't want a bit of PMS?" He smiled.

            Elizabeth frowned with question, "PMS?"

            "Pietro Maximoff Syndrome." He grinned.

            Elizabeth let out a laugh. Pietro lightly stroked her cheeks, "Remember what I told you at the camp? How I felt for you?" He asked. Elizabeth nodded, and he then continued, "Betts, why don't we become a couple? An official one. We've made out enough." He proposed.

            Elizabeth sighed, continuing to stare up at him, "Pietro, I don't know. I mean, you have every girl in that school gawking over you—", She stopped as he interrupted her.

            "And you have every guy in that school gawking over you. So, why not have the best looking people in school together? Besides, I think after Toad's whole makeover thing, he's going to end up taking my position." He smiled.

            Elizabeth looked down, thinking of an answer. He placed his lips onto hers briefly. They looked at each other for a few moments, before Elizabeth pulled his head to meet her mouth with his again. He kissed her back, wrapping their arms around each other. They pulled away, and he smiled at her, "I take it that was a yes?" He smiled.

            "I'll cut a deal with you." She smirked.

            Pietro raised his eyebrow, "Okay."

            "You quit being an arrogant asshole for the time being of our relationship, and I'll stop being a moody bitch." She smiled.

            Pietro grinned, "Deal."

*~*~*~*

            Wanda looked up at the clock, and then glanced at the doorway of the kitchen. "What's up?" Kitty asked her.

            Lance drank out of his beer bottle, and slipped his arms around Kitty's waist, placing his chin on her shoulder. Wanda looked at the young brunette, "John said he'd be here." She answered.

            "Don't worry, John'll be here in no time!" Lance grinned, before running his tongue up the side of Kitty's bare neck.

            "Lance!" Kitty smiled, closing her eyes.

            "Come on, kitten. Let's go into my room for some playtime!" Lance smiled.

            Wanda rolled her eyes, smiling, as Lance pulled Kitty away, and out of the kitchen. "See you all tomorrow!" Kitty smiled, as she followed Lance up the staircase.

            Rogue growled, as she stumbled into the kitchen, obviously drunk from all the alcohol she had drank that night. She had her fingers pried into the collar, "How do I get this damned thing off?!" She growled.

            "Woohoo! Chere!" They heard from the living room.

            Rogue and Wanda looked towards the living room, seeing Gambit swinging a remote back and forth in his hand, "Looking for this?" Gambit grinned.

            "You dirty piece of swamp shit!" Rogue hissed, running towards him.

            Toad dodged Rogue, as she flew past him towards Gambit into the living room. Toad then looked at Wanda, "What's wrong, babycakes?" He smirked.

            Wanda looked up at him, drinking out of her beer, "John's not here yet."

            Toad threw his hand down, "Oh, he'll come. But, until then, whatya say we cook up some pizzas, and get drunk!" Toad suggested.

            Wanda only smiled at him. Pietro and Elizabeth walked into the house, seeing Rogue chasing Gambit around the room, amusing Brian and Tabitha from the couch. They saw Amanda on Kurt's lap, kissing and nuzzling with him. "You're powerless chere! Whoo!" Gambit laughed, swinging his butt at her.

            Rogue kicked his rear, causing him to fall from the coffee table in the center of the room, and onto the floor. "Betsy, some help please?" Rogue snapped.

            Music was blaring throughout the room, playing an 80's classic, 'Footloose'. "What the bloody hell is on that stereo?" Brian snapped, as Tabitha kissed on his neck.

            "Hey, this song's the bomb, yo!" Toad grinned, walking into the living room with Wanda, holding beers.

            Gambit scrambled to his feet, between Rogue and Elizabeth. He looked at Elizabeth, and pointed his finger at her, "You caused me to miss my chance, cherie! Don't you dare take this remote from me!" Gambit snapped.

            Elizabeth smiled, raising her eyebrow at him, as she held up her hand. "Okay then. I won't exactly take it from you!" She smiled.

            Gambit relaxed, and Elizabeth immediately pointed her hand at him, using her telekinesis to pull the remote from his hand. It flew towards her hand, and she smiled at Gambit. "Woohoo! I have the power now!" Elizabeth mocked, as she ran from Gambit.

            Rogue ran after them, "Hey! I need that!" She snapped.

            Elizabeth ran out of the brotherhood home, and onto the front lawn outside. She dodged Gambit, as he drunkenly attempted to spear for her. He fell onto the ground. Rogue ran for Elizabeth, "Gimme that!" She yelled behind a laugh.

            Elizabeth ran past Rogue, and looked at the two, "No! You two belong together, now go upstairs and have some sex, or I'll have Wanda make this remote explode!" Elizabeth laughed.

            Elizabeth turned, walking towards the brotherhood home, and squealed, as both Rogue and Gambit pounced on her. Rogue began tickling her best friend, causing an uproar of laughter, as Gambit grabbed onto the remote, holding her arms down above her head. "Ow! Okay! Okay! Stop tickling me, and I'll give you the remote!" Elizabeth bargained.

            She looked up, seeing Pietro at the doorway, Pietro, grab the remote!, she telepathically said to him.

            She held out her hand, and Pietro zoomed by, grabbing the remote. "Hey!" Rogue hissed.

            Pietro ran into the house, with the three following. "Give that back, dammit!" Gambit and Rogue yelled.

            Elizabeth pointed her hands towards Rogue and Gambit at the stairs, stopping them with her telekinesis. She pulled them back, placing them into the kitchen, and ran up the stairs towards Pietro's room. She knew Pietro was in his room with the device. Rogue and Gambit were soon released from Elizabeth's hold, and they ran after her. They were met with the slamming of Pietro's door in their faces. "Wait, why am I complaining? That collar stays on you!" Gambit grinned at Rogue.

            Rogue turned to him, "I may be powerless, but I can still kick your ass Remy!" She grinned.

            She attempted to push him, but he grabbed onto her arms, wrestling with her. They laughed, as they wrestled with each other. Gambit frowned, looking at her in surprise as she overpowered him, pushing him to the ground. She straddled his hips, looking down at him, still holding onto his arms, "Wow! With my sense of style, and your freakish upper body strength, our kids could take over the world!" Gambit sarcastically told her.

            Rogue let out a laugh, "Who says we're even gonna attempt at the action of makin kids, Remy?" She smiled, fidgeting with his wrists, to keep them away from her.

            Gambit finally pulled himself out of her grip, "I do!" He smiled, pulling her down to him.

            He planted his lips onto hers, kissing her passionately. They continued, and he rolled her over onto her back. She pulled away from him, breathing hard from the passion of their kiss, "So, what, we go ahead and do it here?" She joked with him.

            "Why not? Ain't no one else comin' up here anymore tonight anyways!" He smiled, planting his lips onto hers again.

AN- Hey all, it's me again, well duh...there's gonna be one more chappie to this, where John comes back to the party, and it flows into the next morning with hangovers, but, I did want to make a comment for a reviewer; I do know what Gambit's real name is, I've been an X Men fan since I was ten; been reading the comics first; however, no one knew Gambit's real name in the comics, not even the X-Men until the Days of Future Past saga, which came after a while that Gambit was on the X-Men. But, also, his real name was not mentioned in the Evolution series either; Gambit is a very secretive character even with his real name; once everyone found out about his real name, only Rogue calls him Remy, and that's in private; just ta let everyone know! But thanks for your reviews....I'm not really one of the X-Men fans that became an X-Men fan because of the Evolution series or the movies; but I have nothing against those fans either...I'm always up to help anyone with any X-Men Character history....so, yeah; that's my explanation in case you're all wondering why I only refer to Gambit, as Gambit....it'll be explained in a further story I'm currently working on, which does have to do with the Days of Future past saga in the Evo Verse...have fun! And I'll update as soon as I can...
