Disclaim: I don't own the X-Men, but I own Cyrus and Rose

Chapter 5: Emotions drive

Angelo is seen waiting outside next to the entrance, waiting for the girl he was to ask to prom. After 5 minutes, she walks out and keeps on walking. "Hey!" Angelo shouted and she looked back at him with a smile on her face.

"Yeah?" She replied.

"Yo, wanna go with me to prom?" He asked, hoping it'll be a yes.

Her cheeks quickly turned pink, then going on to red. "Yes… I'd love to go with you." She said.

At the mansion, Cyrus and Bobby are sitting on the bench on the front yard, near the fountain. They both spot Angelo walking in through the gates. Bobby shouts, "Angelo! Over here!" with his hand waving in the air. Angelo walks on over to them and sits down next to Cyrus.

"Hey, guys. How's it going?" Angelo asked.

"Nothing. Did you ask anyone yet?" Cyrus asked.

"Yup, I sure did and this guy has a date!" He said proudly.

Bobby looks shock. "So, who's the lucky chick?" He asked.

Angelo smiled. Then came out with the answer "her name is Jubilee…"

"You asked the Jubes? And she said yes?" Bobby asked and then jumped in the air for joy for Angelo.

Rose and Rogue are looking at the guys through Rose's bedroom window.

"So, Cyrus finally asked yah to prom, huh?" Rogue asked while looking at the boys goof off.

"Yeah. I was hoping he would." Rose sat on her bed while Rogue still looked at the boys. "I kind of had a feeling he would ask me."

Rogue laughed a little. "Still have that crush with him?" She asked.

"Oh, more than a crush. I really REALLY like him, Rogue. More than anything in the world." She said.

Rogue said nothing and just looked at the window, watching Bobby.

"Rogue, do you like Bobby?" Rose asked.

Rogue smiled and looked at him. She then realized what the question was and quickly turned around and looked at Rose.

"Me? Like Bobby? No…" She said.

"Rogue, you don't have to hide, I won't tell anyone. Trust me." She said.

"Well… I guess you could say I have a thing for clowns, and for people I really get along with and care about—"

Rose looked at Rogue surprised, not expecting what Rogue was saying, and out of all people it was about Bobby.

"Wow…" Rose said.

"What? What'd I say?" She asked Rose.

"Nothing. Don't worry about it." Rose then thought to herself. "Why don't you two just go out?"

Rogue's eyes widened. "What?? Why would someone like me go out with someone like him?"

"Because you like him." Rose replied.

"That doesn't mean that he likes me in return…" She said. "And what's the point? I can't even touch anyone skin-to-skin. He wouldn't want that."

"Of course Bobby would. If he likes you then he likes you for you. Not for your powers, not of your looks, but because of how you two get along, how your personality is." She said to Rogue.

Rogue smiled and looked at her. "Thanks, Rose… that means a lot to me."

Scott arrives at the mansion as Bobby was approaching the door. Bobby looks at Scott then runs over to him. "So, Scottie, ask anyone yet?"

"Yeah…" He looked down.

"Who is it, Scottie?" Bobby asked impatiently.

"I asked Kitty… she's a junior." Scott said.

"Kat Pride? Yeah, well she's a looker I tell you." Bobby said, trying to make a smile appear on Scott's face.

Scott looked at Bobby. "Well, the girl I wanted to ask was already asked."

"Oh? What girl were you going to ask in the first place?" Bobby said curiously.

"I wanted to ask Rogue." Scott said.

Bobby looked shocked, by the response Scott said to him.

"Why would you want to ask her?" Bobby just had to ask.

"Well, I hate to say this; but I think I may have a crush on her." Scott said.

Bobby looked at him, not knowing what to say, but his emotions took over him. He went into Scott's face.

"Look, I don't think she's into you, so don't waste your time, Scottie." He said.

Scott looked confused. "You don't know if she's into me or not. Do I sense some 'jealousy' inside of you, Bob?"

"No…" Bobby said then started to walk towards the door leave. But before he left Scott had to open his mouth again.

"Is that the truth or is that what you want to happen?" Scott said.

Bobby stood t here, facing the door, trying not to say anything. Only one thing came out of his mouth.

"Shut up, Scott." Then he exited.

**

As Bobby was walking through the halls after exiting Scott's room, he runs into Rogue.

"Hey there, stranger." Rogue said to Bobby.

"Hey, Rogue…" Bobby said.

"What's the matter, sugar?" She asked while looking around them.

Bobby looked at her, and for some reason she looked ever more beautiful than he's seen her. He wanted to tell her, but part of him didn't, but he had to.

"Scott likes you." He came out and just said it.

Rogue was surprised. She didn't know what to say. This has been a first time situation for her.

"Oh… well…" She looked at Bobby, at those blue eyes she's starting to get attractive to. She smiled, "Oh, Drake, yah don't have to worry, sugar."

Cyrus is in the living room, reading Romeo and Juliet, when all of a sudden he notices Angelo running down the stairs, and going outside. "Hey Ang, where are you going?" Cyrus asked.

Angelo stopped before walking out the door. "Jubilee is here, I'm going to show her around the mansion."

"Oh, alright, have fun." He said.

Angelo smiled, and waved his eyebrows up and down. "Oh, of course I will have a great time!" Then Angelo left.

Cyrus just laughed and then went back into reading his book. Rose enters the room; she looks at the door and then looked at Cyrus. "Who left?"

Cyrus looked up at her, "Angelo, he went with Jubilee to show around the mansion."

Rose went over and sat next to Cyrus, "Oh."

Rose looked at Cyrus' green eyes. 'He's so cute when he's actually reading' she thought to herself. She leaned forward to see what he has been reading.

"'Romeo and Juliet' huh?" She asked.

He looked up at her. "Yeah, it's really good so far."

"Cy… this is my favorite book besides Hamlet." She commented to him.

He looked at her and smiled. "I know it is."

She looked shocked; she didn't know what to say. After all he did remember what her favorite book was. 'Maybe he always did listen to me, but I never knew.' She thought to herself. She grows closer to him, so that their legs are touching each other. He looked at her and smiled.

"Rose…" He looked into her hazel eyes, probably the most beautiful hazel eyes he has ever noticed.

She looked back at him, "Yeah?"

"I have to ask you something---" Cyrus was interrupted by a scream coming from outside.
