Okay, guys. This is going to be one of the last chappies. It'll be the first fanfic I've ever finished on any of my names I'm involved with! (besides the one-shots) Yeay!

This chappie is dedicated to SickmindedSucker because I noticed that they reviewed a lot.

"How did we all end up like this, anyway?" Kitty sighed.

"Like what?" Rogue asked.

"You know, like this," she gestured around the room. "I mean look at us, we're pathetic! Jean and Rahne are the only ones here that have managed to maintain stable relationships. The rest of us either are too afraid to tell the guy we like we like them, just broke up with a guy we thought we liked, or both! It's sad..."

"Hey, yeah... Jean and Rahne should write a book. 'How to keep a guy'. It would be a best-seller!" Jubilee laughed.

"Aw, come on, guys. It's not that hard, once you find a guy you like." Jean replied. "Men are very simple creatures. All you have to do is sigh," she demonstrated, "stare at the sky, and say that you wish you could go to the concert, but you don't have anyone to go with and they take you. Easy."

The other girls laughed, remembering that Jean and Scott's first "date" was to a concert.

-

The other guys laughed at their leader.

Scott shrugged. "Go ahead and laugh, but I don't see you guys getting any." That shut them up real fast. Then it was Scott's turn to laugh.

-

"No, but Jean's right, though, girls. Once you've got a guy ya like, it's smooth sailing." Rahne stated.

"And that's definitely not to say that we don't fight with our boyfriends." Jean added. "Too much time around anyone and your bound to have an argument or two, even if you love them more than your own life."

"Right." Rahne agreed.

"Sssshhhhhhhh!" Jubilee shushed. "Don't tell us! We have to read the book!"

Jean tossed a pillow a the younger girl, hitting her in the face.

"Hey!" Jubilee threw a pillow in Jean's direction, but the redhead moved and it hit Kitty.

"Ack!" Kitty pitched her pillow at Jubilee, but instead hit Rogue.

"Pillow fight!" Tabby yelled. Giggling and squealing the girls attempted to beat each other with one of man's softest creations.

-

"Insert hold music here..." Kurt stated, bored with the lack of talking.

Bobby laughed. "And now a word from our sponsors."

"Do you toss and turn at night?" Ray picked up on cue. "It may be because of an old, uncomfortable mattress. Try Fluff instead! It's like sleeping on air. Fluff, for all your mattress needs."

The boys laughed.

"Hey, guys," Scott started. "I'm gonna go downstairs and watch TV." He stood up and went to his door. "Don't mess anything up too badly, okay?"

"You don't vant to stay and listen some more?" Kurt asked.

"Naw. I'm kinda bored and I don't really wanna get in trouble." He replied. "If I want to know something about Jean, all I have to do is ask. I'll see you guys later." He left.

"Aw, vell, now I kinda feel like ve shouldn't be doing this." Kurt stated.

"Yeah, Ah know what you mean." Sam responded. "I do feel a little guilty."

"No, it's not zat." Kurt answered. "It's just zat vhen Scott zinks zat ve're going to get in trouble, ve usually do."

"Aw, we won't get in trouble, Kurt." Bobby replied. "Don't worry. We'd hear the girls coming WAY before they figured us out."

"Gambit will be right back." Remy stated, standing and going out the door. He started downstairs to get a soda.

-

The girls finally stopped playing and settled down.

"Hey, Kitty?" Rogue called. "Can you hand me a soda?"

"Yeah, sure." Kitty reached into the soda box and came out empty handed. "Oh, I guess I can't."

Rogue sighed. "Ah'll go get some more from the kitchen. Be right back." She left the room.

-

Remy hummed happily as he opened the refrigerator.

"Ah didn't know ya liked 'Miss Independent', Cajun."

He whipped around quickly and saw Rogue standing there. The auburn haired male sighed. "Ya scared me, Cher."

"Whatevah." She replied. "Hand me a box of sodas, will ya?"

"Your wish is my command." Gambit said, bowing and turning back to the frig. "Here ya are. One twelve pack of sodas." He handed them to her. "So, how's yer lil' slumber party goin'?"

"Fine." She answered. "Why?"

"Jus' wonderin'." He said, going out of the room.

-

Rogue came back into Jean's room and put the sodas down.

"Hey, Rogue!" Kitty greeted. "We were just about to sing karaoke!"

"Great..."

"Aw, come on, Rogue!" The girl from Illinois grabbed her friend. "You hafta sing a song with me!"

"Oh, Ah don't think-"

"Please......?" she begged.

Rogue sighed. "Alright. Ah guess one song wouldn't hurt...."

"Yeay! You can pick a song." Kitty replied.

"Okay. How about... Miss Independent?" Rogue answered, smiling.

"Okay." Jean put the CD into the karaoke machine.

-

Remy smiled to himself.

"What are you so happy about?" Ray asked.

"Nothing." Remy answered, still grinning.

-

The two girls finished their song and Kitty bowed as the other girls clapped.

After about 20 minutes of singing, the girls got tired of it and stopped.

"What do you wanna do now?" Amara asked everyone.

"How about we could vote for like best hair and stuff for the guys." Kitty offered.

"Okay, that sounds like fun!" Tabby agreed.

Jean passed out paper and pens.

"What are the categories?" Jubilee asked.

"How about #1 is... biggest flirt?" Jean offered.

"Okay, and #2 is best hair." Kitty stated.

"#3 is best smile." Rahne said.

The girls continued to list off things.

"When you finish, put them in this box." Jean pulled out a shoe box.

After a few minutes all of the girls had finished.

-

"I bet I win best smile." Roberto said.

"Oh please." Ray rolled his eyes.

-

"Alright, Remy wins for biggest flirt. Big surprise there." Rogue said, tallying the votes. The other girls giggled.

"Alex got best hair." Wanda announce, helping Rogue.

"Bobby got best smile." Rogue stated.

-

Bobby stuck his tongue out at Roberto who made a face back.

-

"Scott got best attitude." Wanda added.

"Pietro got best in show." Rogue said, laughing slightly at the category.

"Kurt's funniest." Wanda stated.

"And Lance got best eyes." Rogue finished.

-

"I want a recount!" Roberto stated, crossing his arms.

The other guys just shook their heads and ignored him.

Sorry it's so short, but we are approaching the conclusion. I couldn't help myself with the little Romy part. Only two or three more chappies to go! Chappie 8 is the beginning of the end.
