Thanks to:
Xevo Chic – It occurred to me about half way through that she wouldn't know his name. Pyro this chapter!
Steph14Wales – "Put Jeans tongue in it!" was probably my fave line from the chapter!
Southern Goth Gal – Pyro hyper and cute here! And if Toad keeps chasing you, I've found that hexing him into the wall gives short-term relief…;)
The Son of Logan and Ororo – I nearly forgot about her as well, but I was running out of girls! Some real barrel-scraping going on later…your suggestion next chapter!
Holly Potter – Promise the Rietro will happen and be ultra-cute!
DemonRogue13 – If you can't beat 'em, join 'em…Pyro learns that lesson here!
Demon Maiden – Bad girl, reading me at work, lol…I'm glad you liked and fanfic is so much more enjoyable than working!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, save the brain medicine that is supposed to cure me of the thoughts that fuel this fic…

Scott and Tabby decided to reappear in the rec room, Tabby looking smug and Scott sporting love bites all over his neck. Scott was rather concerned to see Remy and Dani smooching in the centre of the room, but quickly forgot about it.
"Where's the Professor?" he asked.
"You don't wanna know! NONE of you wanna know!" Pietro looked so agitated that Scott decided not to ask again.
Pyro looked up from his writing. "Do any of you have an envelope?"
"Sure." Scott produced the envelope he kept in his back pocket in case of emergencies like this. Pyro put his letter of resignation inside, sealed it and addressed it to Magneto.
"I'm outta here," he announced.
There was a sudden noise like metal slicing through wood and half the ceiling collapsed. Jean sighed. "What with the Logan-shaped hole in the wall and the lack of roof, it's gonna be a long time before we can watch TV in here again."
X23 jumped through the hole in the ceiling and landed on top of Evan, but she recovered quickly.
"Can't you learn to use a door?" asked Rogue.
"Too easy," replied X23. "Where's Logan?"
"In bed with my sister," growled Pietro. "Who's she and why does she talk like Angelica from Rugrats?"
"She's Logan's clone, so I'd watch my mouth if I were you," Rogue told him.
"I need to see Logan," said X23 urgently. "I was just dissecting small animals in the woods behind the mansion when I started singing an ode to a bluebird! It's killing my image."
"At least you got to do a song," muttered Pietro darkly.
Storm stepped over to her. "We're working on it child…"
"I'm not a child!" X23 glared at the woman. "You know, I have needs too. I'm a woman goddamn!"
Pietro tried to get the attention of the room. "Can I just sing something before she starts…"
X23: Sitting here eating my heart out waiting
Waiting for some lover to call…
"Too late." Pietro sat in a chair and folded his arms grumpily.
X23: Dialled about a thousand numbers lately
Almost rang the phone off the wall…
"Since when does she have a phone?" asked Rogue.
X23: Looking for some hot stuff baby this evening…
Pyro perked up. "I'm hot stuff!"
X23: I need hot stuff baby tonight
I need some hot stuff baby tonight
I want some hot stuff baby this evenin'
Gotta have some hot stuff
Gotta have some love tonight
Hot stuff
I need hot stuff
I want some hot stuff
I need hot stuff…
"I'm hot stuff!" Pyro produced his lighter and formed a parade of flaming, dancing hearts around X23s head. She slashed at them with her claws, to no avail.
X23: Lookin' for a lover who needs another
Don't want another night on my own
Wanna share my love with a warm blooded lover
Wanna bring a wild man back home…
"You can help me write the sex scenes!" Pyro went into fits of delights, the flames around X23 transforming into flowers. "Wow, Buckethead said I'd learn a few things, but I wasn't expecting to be seduced by a teenager!"
"Uh, Pyro, HELLO!" yelled Pietro. "She's Wolverines clone!"
X23: Gotta have some hot love baby this evenin'
I need some hot stuff baby tonight
I want some hot stuff baby this evenin'
Gotta have some lovin'
Gotta have love tonight
I need hot stuff
Hot love
Looking for hot love…
"Look at me!" Pyro began jumping around in front of X23, waving his arms. "I'm hot stuff! I'm a warm-blooded lover! LOOK AT ME!"
"Uh, I think she noticed," murmured Rogue as X23 approached Pyro and began dancing with him, grinding suggestively against him.
X23: Hot, hot, hot, hot stuff
Hot, hot, hot
Hot, hot, hot, hot stuff
Hot, hot, hot
How's about some hot stuff baby this evenin'
I need some hot stuff baby tonight
Gimme little hot stuff baby this evenin'
Hot stuff baby
Gonna need your love tonight
Hot stuff
I need hot love
Lookin' hot stuff
Wanna have hot love…
X23 grabbed Pyro around the neck and laid a wet kiss on him.
"EEEEEEEWWW!" Scott grimaced. "That's disgusting! She's underage!"
X23 broke off the kiss. "I'm 16!"
"I thought you were 14?"
"Well I'm not!" X23 went back to smooching with Pyro. Scott looked puzzled for a moment, then decided not to worry about it and sat down. Tabby jumped on his knee and put her hand up his shirt.
"What's your name?" asked Pyro, a touch breathless.
"I don't have one. People call me X23."
"Can I call you Sheila?"
"That's such a cliché, no!"
"Well, we'll think of something." The pair went back to their liplock.
Rogue grinned nervously. "That's everyone in the room kissing except you and me Pietro. Oh, and Storm and Beast of course."
"Not gonna happen," said Storm quickly.
"Damn!" growled Beast.
"You forgot about me," said Evan, recovering from his squishing at the hands – or rather feet – of X23.
Pietro glared at him. "Thing is Daniels – NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU!"
