Thanks to:

Holly Potter – Pietro will get another song before the end of the fic, don't worry!

Oceanbang – I wanted him to get something out, but I'm holding out on the poor guy for a while yet, hahahaha!

XME – You've got to let me know the name of the Rogue/Risty fic, that sounds like the most embarrassing thing!

DemonRogue13- Pietro will get a break – but not just yet, hahahaha!

Steph14Wales – Yeah, I'm evil and Pietro torment is fun!

Southern Goth Gal – He'll think twice before singing again…thanks Witch-Child!

Bobtheheadlesschicken – I missed the second verse coz I couldn't think of any interjections – I thought the song was perfect for Pietro but I didn't want him to sing to Rogue just yet.

Furygrrl – FF.Net did that to me the other day too, but I got it now (and for 'Manipulating' too, thanks!) I hadn't noticed all the May-December pairings…I guess this is cheaper than therapy though! BTW, I got the first chapter of  'The Genesis Strain' and I loved it! I'll send you a proper review when I get the chance.

The Son of Logan and Ororo – Thanks for the song! That is so much better than the one I was gonna use for those two, look for the chapter coming up soon!

Randomnimity – I will be continuing the Pie-torture for a while yet! Whether or not he sings to any false Rogues is yet to be decided…

Childrenwithblades – Things will get spicy, in a PG-13 kinda way. Unless I up the rating of course!

Disclaimer: I must have deja-moo, coz I've said this bullshit before.

"What's up with you?" Rogue asked Pietro as he dashed back into the rec room.

"Mystique-was-outside-and-she's headed-this-way!"

"What do you want, mother?" said Kurt as Mystique wandered into the rec room.

"I've just been walking down the street singing 'I'm blue, bah-da-da-dee-da-da-da' and I want to know why!"

"We've all been singing Raven," said the Professor calmly.

"Or joining in," muttered Pyro grumpily.

Logan frowned. "Uh, how long have the Acolytes been here?"

"You didn't notice the seven-foot metal guy in the corner?" Wanda grinned. "Must have been preoccupied!"

"We decided to find out what was going on when Gambit woke us up singing 'The Ace Of Spades'," explained Pyro. "But we made Sabretooth wait outside!"

"That's not important," said Mystique angrily. "What's behind this?"

"We, uh, don't know yet," lied Storm.

"And why is that girl licking Magneto?"

"Long story." Pietro hoped Mystique wouldn't tell anyone he'd sung to her, but the look she was giving him didn't raise his hopes. The only thing that could stop her was if he got there first – with a song…

Pietro: Oh for-

Piotr: I wake up burning in a soaking sweat

            The pillows are dripping and the sheets are wet

            I jump out of bed and I turn on the light

            This happens to me every night…

"That's terrible!" said Gambit. "Remy have de room next to his!"

"For Gods sake!" Pietro yelled. "I was singing! Why must you all interrupt me!"

Piotr was looking like he couldn't quite believe what he was doing. He stomped out of the corner, grabbed Mystique by the hand and pulled her into his chest.

Piotr: Sometimes you turn into a snake with long black hair

            Then you turn into an angel blonde and fair

            You can turn yourself blue and I don't care…

"Isn't she already blue?" whispered Pyro.

"Yes," replied Gambit. "Shut up. This is great blackmail material!"

Piotr: You can change your looks

            You can change your race

            But it's always your touch

            And always your face…

"Let GO of me, you big metal…"

Mystique struggled in vain. Piotr spun her around and pulled her close again.

Piotr: Dirty dreams

            How you wanna do me?

"I don't!" yelled Mystique. "I have too many kids already!"

Piotr: Dirty dreams

            Let me get through

            Dirty dreams

            A triple X-rated movie

            Starring me and you…

"WAIT!" yelled Pyro. "If you're making that kind of film, wait 'til we get the camcorder!"

"You told us you didn't like that kind of film," added Gambit.

Piotr: Well I close my eyes and you open your lips

            There's a shock from my head to my fingertips…

"In your dreams!" yelled Mystique, struggling against Poitr's chest.

"Well duh," said Rogue, almost in tears laughing at the look on the woman's face. "That's what the song's about!"

Piotr: I fall through a hole coz I can't get a grip

            The room starts to spin and the world starts to turn

            My heart catches fire and the bed starts to burn…

"One time!" objected Pyro. "And I didn't know you had a date!"

Piotr: Dirty dreams

            How you wanna do me

            Dirty dreams

            Anything for you babe

            Dirty dreams

            Technicolor movie starring me and you

            Make my dreams come true…

Piotr picked Mystique up and carried her toward the door. "Ve go back to da Acolyte base and make da love now! Colossus feel the urge to sing to blue lady, I must be in love!"

"Do any of the Acolytes speak in the first person?" asked Logan irritably.

"Well…" Mystique thought about it for a moment. "All my children have abandoned me, it might be nice to try again."

"NOOOOO!" yelled Rogue and Kurt simultaneously.

"YES!" beamed Piotr. "Ve live on farm in Russia, have many children! Blue lady can be terrorist in spare time!"

Pyro and Gambit watched their teammate carry Mystique out of the mansion. Gambit frowned thoughtfully. "If singing works, then Remy will try it!"

Song is 'Dirty Dreams' by Alice Cooper
