Chapter 17 : Kalli + Remy = LOOVE!
Date : September 18, 2003

A/N: Yay! I will now do what I've never done before...Reply to reviews!! WOOHOO!!

RogueVampyr: Thank yooouu sooo much for reviewing, practically, every chapter of mine. ^____^ And once I own the rights to Gambit, I promise that I'll share him with you! ^__^ But, unfortunately, that will only happen in my/our dreams. *sob*

Carrie: Yeah, yeah. I know I should be writing Kurt's accent out. But, ya know, I'm not very good at accents (and Gambit is the only one I can really do...'cause I know my man soo well...*grin*). So, I'm just typin' his parts out like he was an American. ^_^

Skittles: Yay, Lauren! I wanna thank you, also, for the reviews. I especially appreciate all the encouragement you have given to me. You and RogueVampyr really boost my self-esteem, and that helps me write! Thank yoou!! ^_^

DISCLAIMER: Haha, yeah. Go ahead and sue me. Be laughed at in court. 'Cause I own NADA ownership of the X-Men characters. Bwahaha! ^___^

Kalli grabbed a bottle of Dr. Pepper from the fridge, opened it, and took a swig of it. She licked her lips, savoring the taste. She screwed the lid back on and set it on the counter. She put a foot up on a stool to tighten the strings on her black with flames Converse shoes, when an arm wrapped around her stomach. Kalli did not turn around, she knew who it was. She chuckled. "Remy, I'm almost ready. No need t' rush me,"

"Mon cher, vous mudder is waitin'. She wants ya t' hurry it up," Remy replied, sounding slightly impatient.

The gruff-looking Logan entered the room and made his way over to the refrigerator, opening the door. He began rummaging through the back of the fridge, but Remy and Kalli paid no attention.

Kalli huffed. "I said I'll be there in a moment. I just need t' tie my shoes, is all. And what's this all about?" She turned around to face him. "Why are you in such a hurry t' get rid of me?"

Remy spread a smile on his face. "Remy in no hurry. He'd rather have ya stay here wit him. But it's important 'dat vous spend everay moment wit vous mudder, is all,"

Kalli rolled her eyes at him in a sarcastic gesture. "Yeah, yeah right, Rem," she gently patted his cheek with her hand. "I'll be out in a sec," Remy nodded, pecked her on the cheek, and exited the kitchen. Logan chuckled from inside the fridge. Kalli turned to face him, her eyes narrowing in an annoyed manner. "What? What's so funny?"

Logan closed the door and carried a can of beer and other random things. He peered up at her. "You two. The way ya two act around each other. An' with people around, ya don't seem t' mind," He proceeded to make his sandwich.

Kalli rested her hands on her hips, growing more and more annoyed. "And what's so funny about that?"

Logan looked up at her. "Nothing. I think it's cute an' kinda amusin'. I've never seen any teen act so mature, and yet so childish, with the opposite sex," Kalli cocked an eyebrow. Logan cheesed at her. "Let me put this in terms ya might understand. You plus Gambity equals LOOOOOOOOOOOVVVE!!"

Kalli scoffed at him. "Ugh, you make sick to my stomach. I'll see ya 'round, Wolvie," She picked up her coke bottle and walked past him towards the door.

"Later, kid."

Once Kalli made it out to the foyer, she let out an exasperated breath. "That guy is soo strange, I swear," She opened the door and exited the manor and made her way to the garage. On the way, she passed half a dozen of Ororo's rose bushes. They smelled so heavenly as she walked past. Finally she made it to the garage. It's door was open. Avari was perched on one of the motorcycles, and looked completely bored until she caught sight of Kalli.

"Alright!" Avari cried, smiling and jumping up. "Ya ready, sweetheart?"

Kalli grinned. "Yeah! Let's light this candle!"

Avari reached into her pocket and tossed her something. Kalli caught it and saw that it was a black sports watch. Kalli cocked an eyebrow at her. "Image projectors. Look, you just press that button on the side," Kalli put the watch on and pressed the button. "Look, Xavier made you a blonde. But, despite my protests, he made me a brunette," she groaned. Kalli ran her hands through her hair and saw that it was, indeed, blonde. But it had a sort of an orange-ish tint to it (A/N: Like my hair! WOOT! I love my BOTTLED hair color!). Kalli peered into the side-mirrors of a red convertible. Her facial appearance has changed somewhat. When she looked up at her mother, she saw an intelligent-looking brunette. She was smiling. "Ya got everything?" Kalli nods. "Great! Let's get outta here,"

"What vehicle are we taking?"

Avari smiled. "Xavier bought a new car the other night for my own personal use," She led Kalli around behind the X Van. And there stood a shiny blue Firebird, a 2002 model (A/N: Kinda like the car that belongs to a guy I know at school, Jared...only I'm not sure what year his is...But, anyways, it's GORGEOUS!). Kalli gaped, her hand twitched. She was aching to drive that sucker.

"Xavier bought that? For YOU?!" Kalli cried. Avari nodded. "I'M DRIVING!" And she pried the driver's side-door and sat down and closed the door. Avari laughed.

"That's my girl."
