Time For Changes

            Elizabeth walked into the cafe, followed by Nathan. They chose a table, with two armchairs facing each other. The settled into the chairs, and both sighed. Nathan placed his elbows on his knees, and leaned forward, "So." He smiled.

            Elizabeth nervously smiled at him, "So."

            "Can I help you?" A waitress asked, walking to the table.

            Elizabeth and Nathan looked up at the waitress, and then at each other. "Yes, I'll go ahead and have a white chocolate mocha." Elizabeth told the waitress.

            "I'll have a caramel mocha." Nathan told her.

            The waitress wrote it down, "Anything to snack on?"

            "No thank you." Elizabeth told her.

            Nathan shook his head at the waitress. "Okay, I'll be back with your coffees." She smiled, walking away.

            Elizabeth and Nathan then looked at each other. "So, what is it you look for in a guy?" He asked, abruptly.

            Elizabeth let out a laugh, as she sat back in her chair. She glared at him for a moment, "You are a bloody persistent little bastard, aren't you?" She smiled.

            Nathan shrugged, sitting back in his chair as well, "Hey, so what if I am? I see something I want, I go and get it." He smiled.

            Elizabeth shook her head, smiling, "I only want a man that can handle me." She grinned.

            Nathan raised his eyebrow coyly, his smile fading, "Handle you, huh? You're that fiesty?"

            Elizabeth shrugged, "Well, I'm a catty little bitch." She grinned.

            Nathan winked at her, "I can handle that."

            Elizabeth leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees, "Really? You're sure about that?"

            Nathan leaned towards her also, resting his elbows on his knees, "Are you planning to put up a good fight?"

            Elizabeth slowly smiled, "Maybe."

*~*~*~*

            "And that's why Brian and I look absolutely nothing alike." Elizabeth smiled, as she picked up her coffee cup.

            Nathan glared at her, and raised his eyebrows in awe of her story; she had told him how her body had been reformed by her captors as a child; how her mind had been switched with that of another. He picked up his coffee cup, "Wow. It's hard to believe something like that could happen to someone." He sighed, before taking a sip.

            Elizabeth shrugged, "Oh well, I suppose." She smiled. She then sobered, as she glared at him, the coffee cup still to her lips, "Do you know who your real parents are?"

            Nathan drank the coffee in his mouth, and placed the cup onto the table between them. He shook his head, "Nor do I care. My parents that I have now are all I need; they've taken care of me and everything." He told her.

            Elizabeth nodded slightly. "Were you born with the white strips of hair?" She asked curiously.

            Nathan nodded, "Yeah. Dunno how, though. Kinda weird huh?"

            Elizabeth shrugged, "Rogue seemed to have been born with hers. She doesn't remember how she got them." She smiled at him, "People are going to start thinking you two are related."

            Nathan let out a laugh. Elizabeth's eyes moved up to look at him, "Nathan, stop thinking those perverse thoughts!" She smiled.

            "I'm not thinking about perverse thoughts of you, conceited!" He smirked.

            Elizabeth shook her head, smiling. She leaned forward to place her coffee cup onto the table. "I know you want to kiss me, Nathan." She told him, as she rested her elbows onto her knees.

            Nathan scoffed, "No I don't," He then smiled, "Not yet."

            "Oh really?" Elizabeth smiled. "I don't have to read your mind to know that you want to!" She grinned.

            Nathan smiled, shaking his head, as he leaned forward. Elizabeth leaned towards him, and kissed him. His eyes remained open, staring at her. She opened her eyes, looking at him with her lips still planted to his, in question. She noticed his arm reached for the chair to the side. She moved her eyes to his hand, and noticed him grabbing for his jacket, and pulling it towards them. She pulled away, with her cheeks flushing. "Sorry." She sheepishly apologized.

            Nathan glared at her. She looked up at him, the look of embarrassment washing over her face. He leaned forward, reaching to her face. He rested his hand behind her head, pulling her forward. He cupped her face, and planted his lips to hers. He pulled away after a brief kiss, and they looked at each other, not moving. "Now you'll have to say that you made the first move!" He grinned.

            Elizabeth smiled at him, "You set me up, didn't you?"

            Nathan let out a laugh, answering her question with another kiss on her mouth. She felt him stroke her cheeks; she nearly melted his grip. They finally pulled away, and smiled. "Yeah, I did." He smiled at her.

*~*~*~*

            Tabitha looked up from the television, as she sat on the couch in her pajamas. She saw Elizabeth in her pajamas as well, walking down the stairs. "Hey there girl!" Tabitha grinned.

            Elizabeth squinted her eyes, making her way into the recreational room, "Tabby, why aren't you in bed?" She asked, sleepily.

            Tabitha shrugged, "Couldn't sleep. And Brian's passed out." She grinned.

            Elizabeth sat next to her, and sighed. "I'm smitten." Elizabeth smiled.

            Tabitha looked at her, "With Nathan?"

            Elizabeth nodded, "Yeah. But the hardest part is, is that I'm still trying to get over my break up with Pietro! But, it's so hard to resist Nathan! Especially with that kiss of his!" Elizabeth gushed.

            Tabitha sat up, glaring at her, "You kissed?"

            Elizabeth looked at her, nodding. She smiled at the memory, "Oh Tabitha, that man knows how to kiss. Now, I admit I haven't kissed any men but Pietro, but, Nathan definitely puts him to shame!" She smiled.

            Tabitha shrugged, "You're trying to get over your break up, and you kiss the guy? Hmm. Doesn't sound like a rebound or anything. Just a guy that pops up, and you happen to fall for someone again. Maybe he'll treat you better, who knows."

            "Well, I noticed Pietro was a little jealous of Nathan at the party. I'm trying to not let that happen; I still want to be friends with Pietro, but," Elizabeth then groaned, slapping her hand to her forehead, "Oh Tabby, I don't know!"

            Tabitha shrugged, "Show me."

            Elizabeth glared at her, "What?"

            Tabitha glared at her, "Show me!"

            Elizabeth's mouth dropped, "No!" She snapped, with a slight laugh.

            Tabitha raised her eyebrow, "Come on, we're both drunk."

            Elizabeth shook her head, standing up, "No, I'm not going to show you! What is it with you and kissing girls?!"

            Tabitha immediately stood up, "Hey, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm straight, so it doesn't count!" She laughed.

            Elizabeth placed her hand up in defense, "Tabby, you're drunk as usual, but I'm not going to show you how Nathan kisses!" She laughed.

            "Scared?" Tabitha grinned.

            Elizabeth let out a deep breath, and grabbed onto Tabitha's face, and planted a kiss onto her lips. She then pulled away, looking at Tabitha after the brief kiss. Tabitha looked up, and nodded, "Yeah, you're screwed."

            Elizabeth pointed her finger at her, "This doesn't leave this room!" Elizabeth warned, "Because for one, I don't want anyone thinking I drive the road in both directions, two, I don't want Brian to really find out about Nathan and I just yet; he doesn't accept change that easily when it comes to me." Elizabeth told her.

            Tabitha nodded, putting her hands up, "Okay, okay. I won't tell anyone. But, you are one lucky girl to have a guy that can kiss like that." Tabitha smiled.

            Elizabeth shook her head smiling, and turned to walk up the stairs, "Good night, Tabby."

AN- Hey all! Anyways, just ta let you know, I'm not turning Tabby or Betsy into lesbians; I just saw something similar to this on Will and Grace with Karen and Grace; so, I decided to twist stuff up, make it a lil crazy, and put it into this chappie. I mean, come on, it's not like any of you haven't kissed a girl before; well.....at least I have.......not in that way tho....in a sexual way......or something........*snicker* anyways, I'm pretty eager to write some smut, specially between Nate/Betsy. Any suggestions on whether or not it should come within the next to chappies? Please, lemme know.....so yeah; woohoo! I've uploaded a pic of Betsy and Nate *a new one* on my profile; the pic of Nate is H-O-T!!! Missmishka found it for me, and I nearly created a puddle of drool! The pic of Betsy is created by an artist for the X-Men covers; beautifully done; man they look perfect together....they would make a pretty suave couple...anyways, yeah, I'll update laterz....ta ta!
