A/N: You guys, I'm really sorry about the wait! I had a little writer's block, but all is well! I know I got a request to see Rogue get drunk along with the others, so that will probably be in the next chapter. So read it, and let me know what you think.

Chapter 12: Mistake x 2!

"Hey Rogue! Jubilee!" shouted Lance. The film had just ended and Bobby and Lance had waited for the girls to exit out. They began to mildly chat when Jubilee had an idea. "Hey, you guys! I have an idea! I remember passing a small club on the way to the theater earlier." she stated excitedly. "Yeah, so?" Lance asked raising an eyebrow. "So, let's go dancing! I'm sure Kitty can handle herself for a while." Bobby said. "Yeah, but can Pietro?" Rogue said. She snickered a bit at the thought of Pietro getting his ass beat by the small, petite brunette.

"Oh, yeah, that's right. We can't leave Pietro alone with Kitty! They'll kill each other!" Lance yelped. Jubilee rolled her eyes.

"Wait a minute. How do you know they'll be together? If they hate each other so much, then they'll stay away from each other, right?" Bobby nodded.

"Yeah, yeah, you're right Jubes. If they really hate each other so much, then they should stay away from each other." He said triumphantly.

"Yeah, c'mon yuh guys, let's go!" Rogue chirped. As the four teens walked toward the theater's exit, Bobby and Lance fell behind.

"So remember the bet, okay? First one to get their girl to fall in love with them wins." Bobby whispered.

"Yeah, just hope you have a lot of cash on hand, cause I'm so gonna win this!" Lance jeered back.

"Whatever! I'm gonna win this!" Bobby scoffed. Just then, Rogue turned around.

"C'mon, yuh two yahoos! Are ya comin' or what?" she said. Bobby blushed. And no one caught it except for Lance.

"Aww, Wittle Bobby's got a girlfwiend!" Lance taunted. Bobby blushed even harder and turned away from Lance.

"Yeah c'mon! I wanna check this place out!" Jubilee called as she grabbed Lance's arm and pulled forward.

Bobby snickered.

"Well, yeah Lance, let's go! Hurry up!" he mocked. Lance rolled his eyes.

'Yeah, let's go.' He thought.

Pietro lay in bed thinking about the days events.

Waking up, annoying Wanda, thinking about Kitty, getting on the boat, thinking about Kitty, Lance pretending he was gay, actually seeing Kitty, feeling highly annoyed that Kitty ignored him, seeing Kitty in that hot bikini... Wait!

Pietro noticed that over half his thought consisted of Kitty.

'What the hell is wrong with me?' he thought annoyed. 'Why do I keep thinking of Kitty in that way? I mean, she's... well she's'...um... why don't I like Kitty anyway? Oh yeah, she, well she used to like Lance. Wait I'm not jealous of Lance! Who could be jealous of that big doofus?'

Pietro then realized that it took him a while to find a fault with Kitty.

'What's wrong with me? I'm think I'm gonna go get some air.'

"Yeah, yeah, I just need some air and probably a good run." He said.

With those words, Pietro opened the door and zoomed outside to the pool deck.
--=-------------------
Kitty wandered around outside her cabin, deep in thought.

'Why did Pietro do that to me? You'd think someone so cute would... what the hell?! Where do I get off thinking about Pietro like THAT?!' Kitty thought disgustedly.

Kitty decided to clear her mind by taking a walk. She climbed the stairs that led to the upper level pool deck. Kitty looked around.

She saw a bar with a very good-looking bartender. She decided to make conversation. As he got closer, she realized he wasn't as cute as he looked from her earlier distance. 'No turning back now. He's already seen me.' She thought.

The bartender smiled a huge grin. Kitty noticed his teeth weren't very attractive either, but she decided to be nice.

"Hi! How are you?" she said politely. The man stared at Kitty's chest for a second before replying, "Fine, fine!"

Kitty shook her head and ordered a soda. The man smiled secretly and strode over to the soda cabin. While he poured her drink, Kitty glanced around. The sun was setting, so the sky was a beautiful pink/purple. She heard someone giggling to her right.

When she looked over, she instantly felt ill. There looking as god-like as ever, was Pietro. And he had company. A skimpy, bikini-clad blond was sitting next to him, giggling like a high five year old.

"Oh, that's such a cool name! Pietro! Wow! Your parents were very smart to name you that!" she purred. Kitty watched in amazement-and disgust- as Pietro leaned in close to her ear and whispered something.

The blond, Brianna, giggled even more annoyingly, if possible. Kitty watched for a little while longer before getting up and walking over. She stopped about 7 feet in front of Pietro and his new friend and tapped her foot impatiently.

Pietro looked up slowly towards Kitty. She had a hurt expression on her face.

'Just what are you up to now Pryde?' Pietro thought.
=----=------------
Jubilee, Lance, Bobby, and Rogue stood outside of the club. They could hear the music from outside.

"Uh, you guys, ah don't think this is such ah good ideah anymore." Rogue said warily. Jubilee rolled her eyes.

"Aw, Rogue! Don't be such a party pooper! C'mon, this is gonna be fun!" she said happily. Lance nodded.

"Yeah, Rogue. C'mon!" he said. Now it was Rogue's turn to roll her eyes.

"Boy, Jubilee. Ah few more days and maybe you can get him to beg too!" she laughed. Bobby smiled and started laughing too.

"Look, Jubilee is not the boss of me! I couldn't care less what she says!" Lance said hotly. Then suddenly realizing what he said, he mentally kicked himself. He spun around to meet a beet red Jubilee.

"Oh really! Well- well... I don't care what you say or think!" she hissed. Lance winced as Jubilee flung open the door and stormed inside. Bobby and Rogue stifled the urge to snicker.

"Score One for Bobby Drake! And she's outta here!" Bobby said as an announcer before bursting into laughter. Rogue soon followed. Lance grew angry.

"Shut up Bobby!" he yelled before stomping inside himself. Rogue looked at Bobby and giggled. She walked up to the door and span around seductively.

"Are yuh comin' or not?" she whispered huskily. Bobby's eyes widened. He walked toward Rogue like a zombie. When he reached her, she sped inside and slammed the door in his face.

"Ow! Damn it!" he yelped. Rogue, while Bobby was rubbing his nose in pain, was inside the building writhing with laughter. Bobby entered and stared at Rogue.

Her back was to him while she was laughing, so she couldn't see him as he approached from behind. 'Wow. She does have a heart.' He thought. He smiled at his thoughts of Rogue. This was one of those rare times where he actually even talked to Rogue.

He knew it was because of her mutation that she kept everyone at a distance. Even though he was sure that she trusted the X-men, him being a new recruit, he wasn't to sure if she trusted him completely.

"You can always trust me, you know Rogue." He said aloud. Rogue, who had stopped laughing about 30 seconds ago, looked at him like he lost his mind.

"What?" she asked. 'This boy's lost his mind.' Bobby shook his head. He was totally oblivious of what he just said.

"What?" he said, still shaking his head. Rogue sighed. 'What is it that I see in him again?' she thought. Bobby grabbed her hand and shouted above the music, "C'mon! Let's go!"

Rogue yanked her hand away. She wasn't used to being led somewhere where a huge crowd was going to be by the institutes class clown. Even though Rogue liked him, she still didn't fully trust him.

"Rogue? What's wrong?" Bobby asked with concern in his eyes. Rogue didn't answer. She shook her head. Bobby was confused. Why had she suddenly went from being wild to being shy?

Rogue head jerked up.

"Did I just say that out loud?" Bobby winced. Rogue's eyes began to glisten, but she quickly covered it.

"Yeah, yuh did! I knew it! Yuh're just like everyone else! Always quick tah judge meh! Yuh just don't understand. Yuh never will." She yelled. With those words, she darted into the crowd.

"Rogue! Wait! I'm sorry! Rogue!" Bobby yelled after her. But Rogue had disappeared in a sea of moving bodies. The club was dark, except for a few colored lights that were lit pretty dimly, so he couldn't look for her. The music was too loud, so he could call her again.

Sighing his defeat, Bobby walked over to the bar. As he ordered, he saw Lance a few seats away, sipping on some green concoction. Bobby picked up his drink and seated himself next to Lance.

"This plan is gonna be harder than I thought, man." Lance said without even looking up. Bobby jumped slightly in surprise.

"I mean really, to tell you the truth, girls like Jubilee are too good for me anyway." Lance continued. Bobby nodded.

"I know what you mean, man. Rogue just totally got mad at me because of my big mouth." Bobby said, upset. Lance looked up.

"What did you say?" Bobby looked sheepish.

"Well, after you and Jubilee went inside, Rogue and I were playing around. When we got inside, I went to grab her hand to bring her in here, but she pulled her hand away. And I sorta let a piece of my thoughts slip out." He explained.

"Ohh." Lance said in an understanding way. He truly felt bad for hurting Jubilee's feelings. Although he tried to deny it, he was falling for her. Hard. But he couldn't let Bobby know that. He'd win the bet for sure.

"Well since we can't find either one of them, want to just drink?" Bobby suggested. Lance nodded.

"Alright. Then we can look for the girls later." Lance agreed, while picking up his drink.
