The Morning After

            Rogue opened her eyes, and placed her hand to her head, groaning at the pounding pain. She looked around herself, and saw that she was lying in a bed, with Gambit's arm draped over her, in the guest room. She turned, and saw him lying, naked, and under the sheets. Her eyes opened wider with shock, as she pulled up the covers, examining herself. She was naked as well. She laid her head back onto the pillow, "Oh, man! My head hurts so bad!" She mumbled, placing her hand to her forehead.

*~*~*~*

            Toad opened his room door, and looked out. He yawned, as he massaged the temples of his head. He shuffled down the stairs, towards the kitchen. He smiled, as he saw Elizabeth sitting at the table, drinking coffee. "You know, that's not the cure for a hangover, yo." Toad smiled, opening the refrigerator.

            Elizabeth shrugged, smiling, "Who said I had a hangover?"

            Toad grinned at her, pulling out a bottle of water. He walked to sit next to her at the table. "You have fun last night?" He asked her.

            Elizabeth shrugged, "Yeah, I guess so." She looked up at him, "Look, about last night—", He stopped her.

            "Betsy, don't worry about it. I'm not offended in any way. I'm actually kinda flattered, yo!" He grinned.

            Elizabeth let out a laugh, "Yeah, I guess. Just so you know, if the chance ever comes up again, I'll make sure I'm sober this time." She smiled.

            Toad raised his eyebrow at her, "You mean there will be a next time?"

            Elizabeth shrugged, "Maybe. You never know."

            Toad smiled, drinking out of the water bottle. He nearly choked, "Wait! What about Pietro? What if he finds out?!" He gasped.

            Elizabeth rolled her eyes, standing to walk towards the door. "Toad, don't worry, we'll keep it our little secret." She smiled

            Elizabeth walked out of the room, with him following, "But, wait! If something slips! You know me, I have a big mouth!" He snapped.

            Elizabeth walked into the downstairs bathroom, and looked at him from the doorway, placing her hands on the door, "Toad, as long as we keep our mouths shut, nothing will be found out! Now, will you be able to do that?" She smirked.

            Toad shook his head, shrugging, "I don't know, Betts! Whaddo we do, Betts? Whaddo we do?!" He panicked.

            Elizabeth rolled her eyes, thinking Toad was only overreacting. "Toad, for one, I trust you. Just keep your mouth shut!" She smiled.

            She attempted to close the door, but he slammed his hand on it, stopping her, "Wait! Pietro, he has his ways! He'll beat it out of me! We have to think of something!" He gasped.

            Elizabeth sighed, "Okay, now, here's the plan," She began. Toad eagerly listened for Elizabeth to come up with a 'plan', "Get on the phone. Call a woman named Dorothy. Tell her to meet you at the yellow brick road. When you get to the end, you'll see a man; ask him for a brain!" She told him, before slamming the door in his face.

            Toad looked around, and then rushed towards the kitchen.

*~*~*~*

            Kitty walked down the stairs, combing her hair. She let out a laugh, as she saw Tabitha lying on top of Brian, on the couch. "Tabitha!" She screamed.

            Tabitha shot up, "Xavier Institute for the Gifted!" She said, as if she was answering a phone.

            Kitty shook her head, smiling, "Wake up." She grinned.

            Tabitha groaned, holding her hand to her head, "Why'd you have to wake us up now! It's only 1:30 in the afternoon!" She groaned.

            Brian wrapped his arms around Tabitha's waist, cuddling with her, as he continued to sleep. Tabitha let her head drop onto Brian's chest, falling back asleep. Rogue walked down the stairs meeting up with Kitty. Kitty smiled up at her, "So! How'd it go?" Kitty grinned.

            Rogue shrugged, smiling, "Let's just say, that was a hell of a night I'll never forget!" She smiled.

            "Hey, why don't we go grab something to eat?" Wanda suggested, walking down the stairs.

            "Sounds good." Rogue smiled.

            Elizabeth opened the bathroom door, running the towel through her long hair. She smiled at her three friends, "Morning!" She smiled.

            "So, how'd your night go?" Rogue grinned at her best friend.

            Elizabeth shrugged, "Okay." She said, as she turned to walk up the stairs.

            "Okay?" Kitty gasped, "You get drunk, we heard you and Pietro all night in his room, and all you have to say is okay?" Kitty snapped.

*~*~*~*

            Elizabeth smiled, closing the door behind her, as she saw Pietro still sleeping in his full sized bed. She saw his pile of clothing on the floor, scattered, from the night of tearing each other's clothes off before. She crawled into the bed, "Wake up!" She smiled down at him.

            Pietro grinned, and grabbed onto her, turning her onto her back. Elizabeth squealed out of surprise as Pietro smiled down at her. "I thought you were sleeping!" She said.

            "Nah. I knew you were coming though." He smiled, before he kissed her briefly.

            Elizabeth groaned with satisfaction at his kiss. They pulled away from each other, "We're going to grab a bite to eat." She told him.

            "Later." Pietro told her, as he began kissing her neck.

            Elizabeth sighed, wrapping her arms around him, "But, aren't you hungry?"

            "Yeah." He said through his kisses.

            "Well, what do you want to eat?" Elizabeth asked him.

            Pietro looked up at her, grinning, "You!" He smiled, before grabbing onto her.

            He then planted his lips on hers, furiously.

*~*~*~*

            "Ahh! Last night was nice!" Wanda smiled, as she had her arms linked through both John's, and Toad's.

            "Yeah, it was eventful. We should do the drinking binge again, sometime!" Tabitha smiled.

            They walked through Central park, after their meal. They were all walking in a line, side by side with each other; Gambit had his arm around Rogue; Rogue and Elizabeth were linking arms, Pietro had his arm wrapped around Elizabeth. Tabitha walked next to Pietro, with Brian's arm over her. Kitty had her arm linked through Brian's, while her other hand held onto Lance's hand. Amanda walked next to him, with Kurt's arm wrapped around her. Toad, Wanda, and John walked next to them at the end of their line. "Well, really, girls, thanks for the make over. I have to admit, yo, I did get a lot of phone numbers last night." Toad grinned.

            "Oooh! Are you gonna call all of them?" Kitty smiled.

            Toad shrugged, "Well, I'll give it the three day rule. Then I'll call them."

            "You know, I can't remember the last time I stayed up all night long!" Tabitha smiled. She then frowned, "Oh wait, Tuesday." She finished.

            "So, when are we all going to get together and party again?" Kurt asked.

            "Hey, how about tonight? We can all head to the billiards, see if I can get more chicks, and then we'll all come back to our place, and drink the night away and party! We can invite other people while we're at it!" Toad suggested with a grin.

            "Sounds good." Rogue said.

            They continued to walk, enjoying the spring sun. "Holy cripes!" Tabitha gasped, "Am I outside, again?"

            Her friends looked at her, with looks silently asking, "Are you on drugs?"
