Ok after weeks of anticipation and built up anger the second chapter to Never Land is here. I actually wrote the next two chapters over break well really one and a half. So the day midterms where down with and break officially begun I sat down start typing then all of a sudden in the middle of the third paragraph my key board isn't working I can't type. Then my computer freezes and boots me off. O joy. I let my computer rest I start it up still can't type nothing. I tried and tried all through break. Then one day two days ago my sister came in and tells me somehow the keyboard got on plugged. So I'm here just feeling O so intelligent. But that doesn't matter all that matters is I can now post the second chapter

Rauken: WOW your really stupid aren't you

Me: Yeah I should really hang out with you less.

Rauken: Hey!

Me: Just enjoy the chapter and forgive me for taking this long, O yeah here's the disclaimer.

....

DO I really have to say anything more I think the word pretty much explains everything ya know DIS - CLAIM I have no claim over the material you are about to read.

O, P.S. "." is talking '.' thoughts got it, good ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lance sat backwards on the Christmas chair, drumming his hands on the back of it. His eyes were closed and his head was bopping to the music coming out of the headphones. He even started to sing along to it.

"Take my hand.. were off to never, never land"

Toad who came Hopping down the stares made a face of disgust at hear Lances voice "Yo Lance, stop trying to sing, cuz a news flash you can't"

But Lance couldn't hear a thing and kept on sing to the song, "hush lil' baby don't say a word" he sang. Finally Toad couldn't bare it anymore and ripped the headphones off his tongue. "TOAD!" shouted lance. "Hey, hay buddy how you so sure it was me, it could have been Pietro or something just he moves so fast you didn't see anything." Todd babbled trying to keep Lance from pounding him "Cuz, Pietro doesn't generate slime!!" Lance said kicking aside the now slimy headphones while moving forward towards Todd. "O yeah, right *nervous laugh*" Todd said while backing up as far as possible against the counter. Lance clenched his fist cause the entire house to rumble, "COME ON! We got to get to class."

"Pietro, Fred, come on" Lance shouted up the stairs while heading to the front door, only have to stop short because Pietro zoomed down the stairs in front of the stairs barricading the front door "notsofast firstperson tothetruck gets to drive" he managed to say before zooming to the car. Lance vowed to kill them man that finally allowed Pietro to get his permit. 'I swear he drives almost as fast as he can run, I don't know who's worse him or Kitty, jeez.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All four of the BOM members piled out of the Jeep a little dizzy and misdirected except for Pietro who just scoffed at them and said "suck it up you Pussies." As they started heading toward the school they heard an all too familiar car come pulling in. They froze in theirs tracks without even looking back, they knew who it was. "Damn X-geeks" Pietro muttered to the group. Lance looked behind his right shoulder and sure enough, there was Jean parked in her new silver BMW with all the other X-Girls laughing and singing along to the song on the radio, giggling and having fun, oblivious to the world around them. Well all of them accept for one, which Lance couldn't help but stare at. Apparently they weren't that oblivious because Kitty's normally cherry face, smiley face twisted in disgust and shouted "God, like stop staring Lance! I told you were through, so like get over it!"

This cause Lance to suddenly snap out of his trance and but he didn't have enough time to tear his gaze away, and lucky for him Scott just happened to pull in with the X-Boys "Yeah you want go at it, Alvers?" He asked a smirk on his face. Scott enjoyed fighting with people and putting them down he just acted kind and considerate to impress Jean, who's not as kind as she tries to make people think she is. Most people seem blind to this, as obvious as it was, but not lance he can see right through them. Lance has seemed to develop an ability to do that with most people, most not all. "Nah, I got better things to do with my time then waste it on small stuff" He retailed while heading towards the school along with Pietro and Todd. Freddy apparently was too hungry to wait and was in the cafeteria eating their excuse for a break fast

Pietro: "Give it up man, you're never going to get Kitty, she's out of your league"

Lance: "Oh, and your not"

Pietro: "Nope, I'm out of hers" Lance: "Besides, what makes you so sure Kitty was the one I was staring at"

At this Todd and Pietro burst into laughter "cause it you dude" Todd said holding back the laughter just enough to get out the sentence.

Todd then went down on a knee and trying to mimic Lance said in a weird voice "Oh Kitty, I love you so much, will you take me back for the 30th time you know you can't resist a bad-ass like me, here I'll make an earth quake for you"

"Shut-Up Toad!" Lance yelled gritting his teeth trying to resist with all is might to not pound Toad for the second time that day

Then Pietro, decided to join in saying in a very high pitched voice that actually resembled Kitty's "like Lance I told you, I just like to see you squabble over me and watching your pathetic attempts to get me back, it be pointless to actually go out with you"

"Hardy-Har" Lance mumbled under his breath while leaving Todd and Pietro behind Laughing at their crappy imitations of him"

They, don't know the first thing about him, or else they'd realize he thing for Kitty was just a cover-up. True when he first met her in Illinois he liked her, she was the first person he could ever connect with about how it feels to be a fucking freak of nature. Then when he came here he met other he could connect with, although the Brotherhood tend to seem to have troubled past, far more troubled then you'd ever guess by looking at them. Not that the X-Men don't they just seem to cover it up with different emotions and attitudes. Lance started thinking of the one he was really staring at, Rogue. Sitting on the end of the car feeling so misplaced in the mass of the stereotypical teenage girls. With a look of sadness on her face yet, a burning fire in those beautiful green eyes if hers

Ever since she first came to the Brotherhood he was intrigued by her. He remembered once Rouge described herself as a seer 'Ah stay in my own little shell of glass and observe the world around the people, the things their personalities, but no one notices me they pass on by, I know them inside and out yet most barely even known I was there. It makes you cold inside even if you fight it you'll eventually become cold' Lance heard her voice repeat in his mind it was one of the few conversations he had with her, your not cold Rouge, maybe your shell is, perhaps your shell had transformed from glass to ice, but maybe just maybe that shell of yours is what prevents you yourself from becoming cold unlike the rest of the world. As much as he hated him self for it he tried to avoid her, he didn't want to become attached, no did. That's why he desperately looked for a distraction, a.k.a. Kitty. They knew of her powers and were afraid if they got to close they'd get hurt and hurt her in return. That's probably half the reason she left she had no ties to us. None at all, and its all our fucking fault. Hell Summers even reached out to her, comforted her made her fell wanted of course the second she joined the X-Men his attention to her dropped and went to Jean. Of course Lance never thought one, day she'd actually leave, he always expected her to be there, once she was gone he realized how much he lost

What Rouge didn't realize is she rubbed off on him, he was observing her. Even when she was still with the Brotherhood. He was so drawn to, probably because she was so much more complicated then other people. At times he felt he knew her more then anyone and though he could see through her yet other times he was so confused. No doubt she could see through him and everyone else, even without her powers she probably could. Her powers, I wonder if she knows. Most likely she's absorbed him in battle so many times, probably knows all his thoughts of her and the games he played and how he feels about her. He though to himself

One things for sure the feeling sure ain't mutual. I think she finally realized Scott for who he is and got over him, but then again who ever knows with the Rouge

~~~~~~~Mean while

Rouge was at her locker having so many thoughts running through her heads, not only was she thinking of her dreams and her quest to unravel the mystery, but earlier today when Lance was staring at Kitty she though for a brief second she thought maybe, possibly he was staring at her, and maybe, just maybe he was the one. It seemed pretty plausible and some part of her, she's not sure which part hoped for him to be the one. Then reality kicked in, Lance is crazy about Kitty nothing new there. The feeling she had for him definitely wasn't mutual

Ok: I hope that was good, it was much longer then the first chapter, how was it I'd palpitate ANY type of comments I really new to writing fanfics and stories and poems and such. I hope I'll get better with practice. A lot of this chapter was sort of defining their feelings it'll pick up a little soon, I think

Also I apologize in advance for any typos I suck at grammar, at leas went I'm using a keyboard. Hope fully the next one won't take to long to get up.

Rauken: Right there'll probably be another month long hiatus, and you'll disappoint the few readers you have

Me: Why, Oh why did I pick you to be my best friend/slash muse, your so critical, you know you were a lot nicer when I first met you

Rauken: O I'm only joking, you know I love you and I really enjoy being you muse and just think if I piss you off enough you'd allow me to do something else while you sit there and type for who knows how long, it gets boring.

ME: FINE! GO THEN

Rauken: YAY! a vacation, runs outside

ME: *grins* he won't get far *mumbles ancient language* *evil cackle*

Rauken: Bust the door, you mad a spell to make it snow didn't you?

Me: Moi? Well you know it is the middle of winter

Rauken: ITS FLORIDA!!!

Me: O yeah, tee hee O yes also I'm thinking of possibly, possibly adding some light Kietro on the side it just seems it fight into the story nicely with out to much effort. I'm not necessarily a big fan of the couple but I think there perfect for each other, both hyper and energetic and crazy drivers apparently. Plus their best friend like each other, in this story at least, any comments on it

Rauken: O yes also if the rambling between Victoria and me at the end go the chapter get to be annoying just say so, we'll gladly stop

ME: *evil glare towards Rauken* well they are a bit lengthy, but there just so fun ^_^
