ok. no ones reviewing. BITCH...REVIEW!

This is a pretty fluffly chapter. thought i'd mention. scitzy's chapter. yeahhh

===========================================

Shelby sat still next to Warren with her head still leaning into his wings. She was just about to fall asleep as something cold ran down her back slowly.



"GAH! WHAT THE HELL?!" she yelled out and then looked up at a smirking Pietro.



In his hand was a can of Sprite. And it looked nearly empty. Shelby's right eye just twitched and she looked up at Pietro calmly and set his shoes on fire. Then grabbed a towel as Pietro tried to stop his toes from getting burned off and relaxed when Pyro half way reached from the front seat and stopped it. He just glared at Shelby who just turned and continued to dry her now sticky back off. Pietro went back to sit on the floor and mummbled a couple of words sounding something like "Stupid bitch."



Chaos tried to concentrate more on the road then on Logan and it was working much better now then before. But just then she let her mind wonder onto what Logan was doing right now.

"I should have put sugar in his tank" she murmered to no on in particular.

Pyro who was writing in a notebook, heard what she said, furrowed his brows, turned to her, "I'm coppin sort of worried Kay, yor 'aven't listened ter any music for 'bout an 'our." motioning towards the system. She looked at him and sighed. She loved music she couldn't live without it, and it didn't seem as thought she was healthy if she didn't have it playing. She turned the dial for the radio and caught Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven. ::Too slow:: she thought. She changed it again and gasped loudly in delight--ACDC. She turned the music all the way up, alomst to deafening for anyone in the van that has never been to a concert. "IM ON THE HIIGGHHWAY TO HELLL!!!" she screamed cheerfully along as the sun started to set with firey colors.

::mmmm firey::: Pyro dreamily thought and he stared at the sunset

They needed to find someplace to stop soon. Dinner was needed badly after driving so long. Chaos found that out my a groaning Alex in her ear complaining about food.



Warren got up from his seat next to Shelby and went back to sit with Regina, who was rather sleepy at the moment. She just looked up at him and leaned her head on his shoulder. Warren's face got a bit red. So Regina just cuddled into him more but stopped when she heard an "Aww How cute" from Hope who was playing cards with Remy again.

Just then Remy laid down his hand and Hope groaned again.

-----------------------------------

About an hour later they reached another roadside motel. This one actually looked better than the last one they stayed at before Nashville. Everyone began unloading their bookbags, leaving all other luggage in the car since it was just an overnight thing. Remy proceeded to check in when Shelby Hope and Rogue ran after him, and pulled him back and made Warren do it. WARREN WAS TRUSTWORTHY.

"Two rooms..?" he put the money down on the desk infront of a 40something year old man, who lacked hair...and a clean wife-beater.

"Sorry man, only 1 left." the man grinned. Warren raised an eyebrow and looked at the deserted parkinglot. "Your kidding right." he monotonously said.

"You heard me. All those other rooms are victims of water damage." he pointed to a glass of water.

"I know what water is." Warrens said sarcasticly as he thought for a moment. "Fine. one room it is." he took half the money sitting there as well as the key. When he walked out into the parkinglot, Chaos held her hands out as if waiting for him to throw her something.

"One room." Mostly everyone got pissed, but then there were the few...like Remy Pyro Chaos and Regina who just grinned. Warren unlocked room 14, but had to kick the door in due to stickyness in the doorframe. The were greeted with a dusty room with two small twin beds, a very small bathroom, and an old tv. That was all. Everyoen groaned...adn tehn started agruing about the beds.

Remy avoided it and went outside to smoke a cigarette, but ran into Hope who didn't even get in yet. "Hows the room?"

"...bad." he replied. She looked in and sighed, "only two beds?"

"Well.." he grinned "we could share..." she fought the blush and just answered with a "shut up." and then she sat against the wall next to the doorway. Regina and Chaos walked out looking happy, and then Regina spoke "Y'know..I bet this one room thing wouldnt be so bad,"

"yeah...the whole two separate room thing was getting lame...it reminded me of the institute." Chaos replied. Remy looked at Hope and grinned madly, "See? Remy wasn't de only one who thought that idea was so bad..." he looked up at Regina and Chaos who were climbing into the van, "Where'r you two goin?"

"We dont have enough food. Alex at it all. Gotta get mo--WHOA." Was Reginas loud reply as Chaos revved the engine. Remy and Hope watched as Regina practically fell out of the window as she was replying, when Chaos put the van in reversed and did 90. Remy and Hope could also hear the maniacal laugh from Chaos as she did dough-nuts and then finally pulled out onto the road. Both shook their heads...

Regina got herself in and sent a glare of black scelera at Chaos who had a wicked grin on her face like she knew shew as in trouble. ::sigh, whats the point of yelling at her..she'll just do it again.:: Regina thought and for her safetly she ignored the whole thing, eyes changing back to normal. "I'm suprised this trip is so pg rated dude, I expected a whole lot more mess." Regina said as Kay flipped through the stations. "I'm suprised Remy hasn't nailed anyone yet." She blutly stated. Regina's eyes widened and she elbowed her.

Chaos looked at her indignantly "..what?!"

-------------------------

A half hour after arrivign and already everyone was so fed up they were ready to leave. And so since the temperature was a good 76 degrees, some of them hung around the back of the motel where there was a small waistland area and made a fire. Shelby had just gotten out of the shower and put a towel on when she heard the door open and in came Pietro. The two ignored eachother while Shleby blowdried her hair and Pietro looked for some old sheet or something to sit on. They looked at eachother breifly after he found one and then he left.

Shelby looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. It wasn't a happy moment just now, but it was a start. The door opened again but this time Hope was the one who barged in the bathroom.

"Doesn't anyone know how to knock?!" Shelby exclaimed. Hope sent her a glare. Shelby turned back to the mirror and curiousity got the best of her. "Something wrong Hope?"

Hope spun around and didn't waist anytime in letting out what was on her mind. "ITS THAT DAMN CAJUN!!" she threw her hands in the air, crossed her arms and leaned against the wall in the EXTREMELY small bathroom. "I don't know what the deal with him is!! One minutes its 'oh im so totally gonna flirt with Rogue.' and then the next 'oh now im gonna try and mess around with Hope.' AND I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE DEAL WITH HIM AND CHAOS IS." she referred to this strange little connection the two have with the flirting and these little jokes they make no one had a clue about. Shelby just shook her head. "Maybe you should tlak to him?"

Hope rolled her eyes at Shelby and said, "Right--and that would help...what...?"

"Well, he'd know how you feel so he could stop the things he does. Thats atleast what I would do." she said simply wrapping the cord around the dryer. Hope's mouth dropped, "...I can't beleive you just said that."

"Huh?" Shelby looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"What YOU would do...BAH!! Then why haven't you talked to Pietro yet, huh?!" she stared her down with a mocking smile on.

"What are you talking about?" Shelby walked out, kind of already knowing what was going on but not wanting to. Hope followed her close behind.

"Pietro is always ragging on you. And your always on him, its SO obvious you two have a thing or soemthing." she said with a grin. Shelby sun around really fast with fire in her eyes, "I DO NOT!! And anyway he "rags" on everyone not just me, hes obnoxious like that theres no hope for him." she said as she took clothes from her bookbag out, "I need to change."

"Yeah. sure. Keep tellin yourself that, but you knowwww its not the truuthhhhh." Hope replied as she walked out (slowly might I add)

still grinning. Shelby went back into the bathroom rolling her eyes and shaking her head. Yet she knew as well that wasn't the truth. She did like Pietro and sometimes it almost seemed as if he liked her too...but that was only on a good day. She started getting dressed, but first, she locked the door.

--------------------------

About 2 hours later, everyone was crowded in the dark together around the blazing fire Pyro had created earlier. Chaos had brought back some food...but more liquor than food. She also, for better atmosphere, backed the van into the back with them, and playing music from it, and everyone (who had a specific taste)placed their music in the 5 disk changer, on random.

Hope was still kind of angry, Remy had no idea why, and Shelby sometimes would catch Pietro staring at her, but he'd blush and turn away.

Despite the drama though, there were the few that seemed happier than the others. Regina was curled up against Warren who was busy checking the news on whether the police were out for them becuase of Lance. Lance and Rogue seemed to be having a pretty animated conversation..maybe even flirting. Chaos and Pyro were experimenting with electrical fires (away from everyone else I might add), Alex was on his stomach writing a letter to his Hawaiian parents (usign the glow frmo his hand as light).

Warren groaned as a small window in the screen flashed "LOW BATTERY". "Kayyyyyyy" he whined, "chargeee my batterrrryyyy" but when Chaos turned around, all she saw was Regina sit up and slam the laptop shut.

"Uhh, nevermind?" Warren said tentatively. Chaos shrugged and turned her attention back to the separate fire with blueish wires sticking out of it. Regina snuggled back against Warren and looked up at his face smiling sweetly. He smiled back.

But he couldn't take his eyes away from her this time.

His smile faded into a gentle calming smile, knowing she couldnt tear away from his eyes as he looked deep into hers. He tightened his hold around her waist, bringing her closer to him so his wings could open and partially close around them, allowing some privacy. He brought his free hand to her face moving a stray lock of hair away.

"Regina..your so beautiful..." he whispered low as he did so. She blushed as he stroked the side of her face, closing her eyes and marvelling in the soft touch. Opening her eyes again, she smiled -- letting him know she had wanted what he did. "I think your beautiful too." she whispered just as low, and makingthem both laugh softy and smile.

A moment seemed an hour when he finally had kissed her--taking her all in like he had wanted for a while.

----------------------------------------------------

"Are they EVER going to come up for air?!" Hope asked no one in particular about 20 minutes later. No one really paid any attention to Regina or Warren, and no one really wanted to know what was going on under the wings. Chaos drank from a bottle of Bacardi Raz and when she finished she passed it over to Remy's outstretched hand saying, "If they dont Reginas gonna stun him with those little stunner needle things." Remy took the moment to chuckle and say, "What if he IS knocked out already?" and he took some of the alcohol down.

Everyone's eyes went wide at that question and Remy laughed some more. Conversation continued as it had before with the drinking and teh laughing and the absent-minded flirting.

Lance and Rogue were messing aorund and laughing alot, drinking thanks to Regina and Chaos who convinced Warren they'd be fine. After some making fun of Pyro and Chaos they were silent for a moment. Lance decided break the silence with an "Hey, I'm..uh..sorry about goin all out on you earlier. Just kinda stressed out from Chaos almost attacking me for the arresting thing."

Rogue looked over to him and smiled, "Its ahlraght, I wasn't really mad about that, kahnd of about the drug thang.." he frowned at the last thing she said. He really had no excuse for what he did...he did do it for a while but decided that silence was the answer for now. "Hey, look." He pointed towards Pyro who was making people with the flames. Remy and Chaos sat real close, drinking and telling Pyro what to do with the people he made, and then cracking up hard when he did it. Hope, was obviously getting frustrated as she got up and sulked back to the room.

"What is it with her and Remy anyway." Lance asked.

"Who, Hope or Chaos." Rogue answered confused. "Chaos."

"MAKE HIM FUCK HER LIKE AN ANIMAL!!!" the both of them heard Chaos yell in the backround. (a few seconds) Remy and Chaos bursted out laughing. Rogue shook her head in a grin and remembered what she was gonna say.

"Oh..Ah ment ta ask her about how they met...see Pyro and Remy said they didn't know her at all, but they actually did." She remembered old intentions. And then they got up and joined Chaos and Remy in they're obsene games involving fire people in certain positions, just so they could get more alcohol.

"Bondage...Py..ro..." Remy slurred speech was getting worse. Pyro laughed maniacly and made the fire girl whip the fire man who had been tied up to a chair. Then the fire girl straddeled the fire man...then proceeded to push back and forth ontop as his mouth opened in silent orgasm.

"Well that reminds Remy of a certain time..." he huskily/drunkingly said. Chaos pushed Remy down and...fell down with him, the both stayed on teh floor laughing crazy obviously wasted. Pyro stopped with the fire as soon as he heard some strange hushed giggling comming from the left where Warren and Regina were hidden under feathers, and then turned back to Chaos and Remy who were on the floor getting all clsoe and friendly, when she sat up, finished another bottle off and screamed, "Pyro!! give us more flaming porn!!" Remy remained on his back with his eyes wide open upon hearing that.

"Flaming...porn?" Lance and Rogue asked together as Chaos slowly realized the way that sounded so wrong.. Pyro shrugged and made a large graphicimage of a guy that resembled giving anotehr guy a blowjob. Everyone started laughing insanely.

Meanwhile--Pietro paid no attention to the drunks and stared at the fire seeming farther away than he really was from everyone. Shelby who was previously inside sleeping, sat up, yawned and watched Pietro. He looked back at her, only she didn't turn away. She smiled. He smiled back.

"I guess there is hope for him." she thought as she turned her sight back to the fire.
