Sit Down and Make Yourselves at Home
"What are you doing here?" Rogue asked.
"We're out celebrating," Shipwreck told her. "It's the anniversary of my divorce."
"And he decided he wanted to do it sober for a change," Althea said.
"Who are these people?" Mrs. Sefton asked.
"Oh I'm Shipwreck and these are my kids Althea, Brittany, Daria and Quinn," Shipwreck announced. "That's Pietro and Wanda and that's Althea's boyfriend Todd."
"YOU!" Mrs. Sefton gasped when she saw Todd.
"Isn't that your insane friend who trashed our house?" Mr. Sefton pointed at Todd and glared at Kurt.
"Friend isn't exactly the word that describes him," Kurt gulped.
"Look I'm really sorry about that yo," Todd scratched his head. "If it makes you feel any better my therapist says I'm getting much better on my social skills! Ooh! Is that a fly?"
"Todd no!" Althea admonished. "You'll spoil your appetite."
"Look Todd told us all about that," Shipwreck said. "Hey I got an idea, how about we all sit together and get to know each other more. Dinner's on me!"
"What did you do steal Beach Head's credit card again?" Rogue asked.
"No Hawk gave me his for the night," Shipwreck said. "Said it would be cheaper in the long run. So how about it?"
"Well as nice as that invitation is Shipwreck," Xavier began. "We've already rented a private room and…"
"That'll be perfect!" Shipwreck said. "The right atmosphere for this occasion!"
"No we don't want to intrude on your party," Xavier gulped.
"Nah! It'll be fine!" Shipwreck grinned. "Besides you're the one who's always saying how our two groups should get along right?"
"Well technically yes but…"Xavier began.
"Then it's settled!" Shipwreck said.
"Actually this was supposed to be for Kurt," Ororo growled hoping Shipwreck would take the hint.
"No problem!" Pietro grinned. "We're all family here." He smiled at Rogue. "Right sis?'
"Drop dead," Rogue snapped.
"Then it's settled!" Shipwreck put his arm around Mr. Sefton and steered him off to the room. "Let's party!"
"You know I really thought tonight wasn't going to be any fun," Wanda snickered.
"Look Professor just say the word and I'll drop 'em," Rogue whispered. "I can make it look like an accident."
"Rogue!" Ororo admonished. "No."
"Let's not be so hasty Storm," Xavier muttered. He whispered to Rogue. "Let's just say we can keep that option open."
