Everyone on the dance floor stepped back until a circle was formed around the Acolyte and the Brotherhood girl. As they danced to the music blasting from the speakers, the others commented on how they were quite good.
"This is kinda scary," Tabitha muttered from her position between James and Pietro.
"The Waltz playing?" James asked, a bit confused.
"The part where Pyro is dancing to it," Pietro supplied before Tabitha could.
Tabitha grinned. "But man, can they dance!" To emphasize this point, she swung her hips from side to side a few times.
"So, you dancin' with me next slow song?" Pietro asked speedily, glaring at James.
"Cool your jets, Pie! I'm only bein' nice. James here doesn't have a date."
"It doesn't mean he can take mine!"
"She kind of dragged me onto the dance floor," James supplied.
Pietro glared before crossing his arms and 'hmph'ing. Tabitha shrugged her shoulders and smiled flirtatiously.
Bobby walked over to Jubilee and Jamie, Christina by his side.
"I thought you two were going as a prince and a princess."
"Jamie thought of this idea at the last minute."
Jamie blushed, but grinned all the same. He was enjoying his time in the spotlight, as Bobby bombarded him with tons of questions. Jubilee proceeded to talk to Christina, who was enjoying herself quite well.
This particular dance was a little too formal for Ryka, but she found redemption in talking to Kurt, whom she considered a brother, since she was raised by Mystique and all. Todd didn't enjoy being near the elf that had come to be his arch nemesis, so he excused himself to go get a drink.
"So, you vere raised by mien mutter?"
Ryka nodded before speaking. "Lord Maboroshi helped me learn to control my powers."
"Vell, I didn't know she vas mien mutter until after I came here."
"You seem to know Denise well, even though she's a Brotherhood member."
"She would have been an X-Man, but Scott blew zat chance vhen he learned about Lance."
Ryka raised an eyebrow as she looked towards Scott. Todd came back over to them as they were finishing up their conversation, but he came bearing snacks on a plate and three glasses, trying to be the well behaved little toad he could be.
"So, what's this party really about, sheila?" John asked as he continued dancing with Denise.
"I wanted to prove that the Brotherhood can behave themselves. Hopefully the Acolytes can do the same."
"With the right motivation," he replied grinning. "We wouldn't want to get burned into a crisp."
Denise smiled as the song came to an end and they finished their dance. The next song to come on was a fast song. The dance floor was once again filled with people who wished to dance to this particular song. Denise headed over to where Darcy was standing.
"Having fun, Cee?"
Darcy nodded, smiling as she sipped her drink.
"Why not dance with someone?"
"I will later, okay?"
Denise nodded before walking over to Kurt, Ryka, and Todd.
"Yo, what's that?" Todd asked, examining the beginning of Denise's scar on her right shoulder.
"That would be the reminder of my powers emerging. I passed out after using them and fell on a piece of metal. Sliced me up pretty bad."
"Sorry."
"Don't be. It's in the past, right?"
Todd smiled at her, as he quoted a movie they had watched earlier this week. "Hakuna Matata."
Denise giggled slightly. "Exactly my point."
"You don't stay shy and in hiding for long, do you?"
Denise blinked at Ryka's question before she smiled in understanding. "I figured, 'Hey, I surf wearing less than this, so what's the worry, right'?"
As one song ended and another began, Ryka spoke. "I like this song. Todd?"
"Let's dance, yo," Todd said, smiling.
"Baka," she replied, Todd frowned, but was soon smiling again. "Later Dee, Kato."
"Kato?" Kurt asked.
"It's Japanese. It means Kurt."
Kurt nodded as he watched Todd and Ryka walk out onto the dance floor. "She speaks Japanese?"
"Apparently so. Come on," she said, wrapping her arms around one of his. "We must mingle dahling." Her false British accent and proper posture made him laugh as they wandered through the crowd of teens.
Lance looked down at Kitty when he spotted his cousin from their position on the dance floor. "She sure gets into the partying mood fast, doesn't she?"
Kitty giggled. "She's, like, quite the opposite of you." At his glare, her giggles increased. "Not, like, in a bad way. I wouldn't, like, have you any other way."
Lance smiled until he bumped into somebody. As he turned to see Scott dancing with Jean, he grinned. "Hello, Summers," he said, as civilized as possible.
"Alvers. Having a good time?"
"Splendid and you?"
"The same."
As they went their separate ways, Ororo smiled. Lance and Scott not butting heads was sure to be a good sign. She turned to where Logan had been at her side moments before, only to discover he wasn't there. As she scanned the room, she found him standing off to the side, watching everyone very closely, especially the Brotherhood and the Acolytes.
Jennifer made her way over to where Pietro, Tabitha, and James were standing. She rather enjoyed this song and didn't see a reason to waste an opportunity to dance. Since Pietro had asked her earlier, after introducing himself, of course, and being as she was an outgoing person, she decided he might not mind dancing with her again.
"Hey Pietro. You danced with me earlier, remember?"
"Yeah, I remember," he replied in his speedy tone. "Jennifer, wasn't it?"
"Yep! Would you like to dance again? I happen to like this song."
Pietro saw Tabitha glare at Jennifer, which didn't go unnoticed by Jennifer either, who could be quite mean at times, and decided he would. "Sure, no problem. Let's go."
As the two made their way out onto the dance floor, Tabitha growled slightly. James looked at the girl beside him.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Tabitha blinked, her smiled returning as she remembered the guy beside her. "I'm great now! Let's go talk to Ray and 'Mara! I haven't seen her in forever!"
"Okay," James replied as he was half dragged over to where Ray and Amara stood.
"'Mara! How's it goin'?"
Amara smiled widely as Tabitha stopped in front of her. "Tabby! It's going great! What about you?"
"You know me," Tabitha responded with a wink. "Doin' good, Ray?"
Ray smiled slightly. "I'm alright. I see you've met James."
"And helped yourself to him," Amara added, giggling slightly.
"Well, I came with Pie, but he seems quite busy right now. Besides, he looked a bit lonely."
Amara noticed Pietro dancing with a girl she hadn't seen before. "Who's that?"
"I think she's with Magneto's group."
Amara nodded as she and Tabby continued talking. Ray turned towards James. "How'd you end up with her?"
"She came over to me and Scott earlier," he began.
"Lemme guess, Scott bailed?" Ray continued. When James nodded, Ray chuckled. "Tabby's a wild child, but you get used to her."
"Hey!" Tabitha exclaimed, having heard the last part of that sentence. Ray chuckled again as Tabitha proceeded to pout.
Amber walked over to stand beside Ororo, one of the closest friends she had at the Institute. When Ororo smiled, Amber began talking.
"Why won't he leave me alone?"
Ororo spotted John looking for the girl he had danced with earlier. "I believe he's attracted to you."
Amber blushes slightly, her shyness showing a bit. "Why doesn't he just say that? All he does is beg me to dance with him."
"John is a unique character. From what I have heard about the boy, he's not completely sane."
"Oh. Mousse has been taken care of, right?"
Ororo smiled as Amber changed the subject. "Yes. Don't worry and have fun."
Amber nodded before walking off again. She still didn't fully trust the opposing teams, but Ororo seemed quite calm.
Remy handed Yesima a drink as they watched everyone around them. "Havin' fun, chere?"
"No, Remy, this is the dullest night of my life," she replied, giving him a sarcastic look.
Remy pretended to be horrified. "Je suis désolé pour entendre cela, chere. Would you like to leave?"
She grinned before replying. "No, this will do. I'll just have to suffer."
"If you insist, chere."
Roberto growled whenever someone passed him, snickering. Jubilee saw this and asked Jamie if she could dance with Roberto for a few songs, seeing as he hadn't danced with anyone yet. Jamie nodded, replying that he wanted to get a drink and some snacks before dancing again. As Jubilee made her way towards Roberto, Sam pulled Rahne onto the dance floor when another slow song started playing.
"Hey Roberto, wanna dance?" Jubilee asked, grinning.
"You sure you want to dance with a fairy," he asked, slightly peeved.
She giggled. "Come on, it'll be fun!" She didn't wait for him to respond, she simply drug him out onto the dance floor, like Tabitha had James earlier. In fact, seeing Jubilee dragging Roberto, Tabitha decided she was up for dancing again as well, pulling James onto the dance floor once more. Amara followed suit, dragging Ray behind her.
"Would you like to dance?" Jean asked Piotr, since she had noticed him standing alone.
"That would be nice," he replied, ever the gentleman, as he led her onto the floor.
"Hey," Scott said as he approached Darcy. "You look kind of lonely over here. Would you like to dance?"
Darcy nodded happily. "I'd love to."
Scott led her onto the dance floor as Lance and Kitty walked over to Denise and Kurt. Lance smirked as he took on a British accent of his own, after overhearing his cousin talking in one.
"Excuse me, good chap. Do you mind if I borrow this lovely young lady?"
Denise giggled as Kurt shook his head. "I don't mind, but you might vant to ask her."
Lance nodded as he turned towards his cousin. "Will you do me the honor of this dance, milady?" he asked, extending his hand in a royal fashion.
"Why, I'd love to dahling," she replied before turning towards Kurt. "Do wait for my return."
At his nod, she giggled and walked onto the floor with Lance. Kitty was trying her best not to collapse due to the laughter she was barely containing. She turned to Kurt, giggling between her words.
"Like, can you," she giggled, "believe those two?"
"Zey are quite ze pair."
"Ah hate to interrupt, but mah deah brothah has not once asked meh to dance," Rogue's southern drawl broke in.
They turned to find Evan and Rogue standing behind them, Rogue glaring at Kurt.
"Sorry, schwester. Vould you like to dance?" he offered meekly.
"Ah'd be delighted," she replied, smiling as they headed for the floor.
"Like, if you can't beat 'em," Kitty began, shrugging.
"Join 'em," Evan finished, leading her onto the floor.
"Would you like to dance now?" Adolf asked as he turned towards Wanda.
Wanda looked around before she nodded. "Fine, but just a few songs."
Adolf nodded as they followed everyone else's suit. John had even managed to get Amber back out on the dance floor. The only two people not dancing were Fred and Jamie. The latter was standing beside the former, a bit nervous around the giant.
"I won't hurt ya," Fred began. "I promised Dee I'd be good."
Jamie nodded. "Looks like we're the only ones sitting this one out."
"Yeah, well, I figured I wouldn't do much dancin'. Who'd wanna dance with someone like me anyways?"
Jamie frowned at that question, although he didn't say anything. As he went back to watching the others dance, he felt that no one should think that about themselves, no matter the circumstances.
"Man, you're short," Lance said, causing Denise to step on his foot, hard. "Ow! Dee!"
"Sorry, it was an accident," she said, smiling sweetly.
"Uh huh, sure. Well, we've all been acting good so far."
"Yeah, I just hope nothing goes wrong."
"You really want this to go smoothly, don't you?"
"Mutants shouldn't be fighting one another, Lance. We need to stick together. It's the humans that we should be wary about."
"You think humans will start a war?"
"I think they're afraid of change. Change scares them, and in their fear, they turn to weapons to protect them."
"Yeah," he sighed. "How are we gonna get everyone else to see this?"
She smiled slightly. "I'm still working on that part." As she glanced behind Lance, she chuckled. "Tabby seems quite comfortable congregating with the enemy."
Lance turned to see what Denise meant, only to turn back around laughing. "That's Tabitha for ya. I don't think she has any enemies besides her father."
Denise smiled and nodded, but she didn't say anything else after that. She sighed as she rested her head on her cousin's chest, thinking about her parents and his.
Rogue watched from where she was dancing with Kurt. "Their hidin' somethin'."
"Vho?"
"Dee an' Lance. Somethin' about his past. Ah can tell."
"Maybe he doesn't vant his past brought up."
"Maybeh, but Ah think it's more than that."
"Maybe zey'll tell us later. Give zem time."
"Ah guess you're raght."
"Enjoying ze party?"
"Evan's really sweet when he wahnts ta be."
Kurt nodded. "I just hope he doesn't get beaten bloody for dancing vith Keety."
Rogue giggled slightly. "He won't. Ah trust he's got bettah thangs ta do."
"Zat and Dee von't let him."
"That too," Rogue stated as they fell into a comfortable silence.
"So, like, are you, like, having fun?"
"Yeah, man. I really like Rogue. I'm glad Dee set this thing up."
Kitty giggled. "Like, me too. I think Lance, like, did some setting up himself."
"What do ya mean?"
"Like, something about Dee and Kurt."
"You think she likes him?"
She shrugged. "I, like, seriously don't know." She grinned as she looked over to where her boyfriend was dancing with the previously mentioned girl. She then turned to look for Tabitha, whom she spotted dancing with James. If there's one person who would have found out by now, it would be her. "But I have an idea on, like, how to find out." She said, grinning deviously, causing her dancing partner to blink. That's the 13th chapter!!! Was it good?! Anyways, review response time!!!
BaronOBeefDip – Thanks for the encouragement. I did my best with Ryka. If I screwed her up in any way, I give you permission to hit me with a virtual hammer. .;
me – Um, thank you..
Doctor What – Here's more!! And James got quite a few more lines!! If I screwed up, I give you permission to hit me as well.
Yokokaru-Chan – Alrighty! I have continued! And I hope to continue soon again!! Speaking of continuing, are you ever going to continue your Evolution story?! I'd enjoy it if you did. Until later!!
P.S. ATTENTION TO ALL WHO SUBMITTED AN OC!!! If you submitted a character to my story, please e-mail me at angelxfromxhellyahoo.com, or leave someway to contact you in a review!!
