Thanks to:
Xevo Chic – Pietro will get his wuv!
Arikitten – Mrs Leech was nothing, just wait 'til you find out which other females I've got lined up for the X-boys!
Southern Goth Gal – Thanks sis! I never knew Evan-bashing could be so much fun! I'll do something nice for him by the end of the fic. Maybe.
Randomnimity – I've no plans for Evan to come out of the trance at all (evil laugh). And Ozzy does rock!
Holly Potter – More Evan torture here sis! I think Rogue looks like more of a vodka drinker… And Ozzy's hometown isn't too far from where I live. My brother met him once and didn't get me an autograph, how cruel is that?!
XME – I wanted Kurt to be with some one he's never been paired with and I was stuck – trust me, he didn't get the worst girlfriend!
Jackie Paper – I'll see what I can do!
PomegranateQueen – Glad you like! Pietro will get to do his song shortly, promise!
Rogue14 – I think Evan's gonna need therapy even if he does fall in love soon…I think they all will! After the Professor/Callisto chapter, I know I do!
Demon Maiden – I had to give the Fuzzy Dude some action! Pietro will do his song in a couple more chapters, but will she fall for him? I'm not telling!
DemonRogue13 – I'm loving the Evan torture too!
The idea for both the coupling and the song came from The Son of Logan and Ororo. Thank you!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the song. If I did, I'd be rich! RICH!!

"At least there are no more girls around," said Beast with some relief.
"Uh, hello?" Rogue looked offended.
"Oh yeah. Sorry Rogue."
"And there's me and Jean," said Tabby.
"True," admitted Beast. "But you two seem to be, uh, already in relationships."
Bobby scowled. "But that leaves me without a date! And Sam and Roberto and Evan and Pietro too!"
"No one's gonna want Evan unless he stops drooling," muttered Rogue.
"And I might have a date if you'd all shut up and let me sing!" yelled Pietro.
"Go ahead," replied Bobby.
Pietro: If I –
"Who're you?" interrupted Roberto suddenly.
"Would you all…" Pietro broke off as he too noticed the newcomer in the doorway. "Oh no, not you."
"Who is she?" asked Rogue curiously, eying the elderly woman with some suspicion.
"Her name's Agatha Harkness. She taught my sister how to use her powers."
"I was looking for Wanda," said Agatha calmly. "Where is she?"
"Uh, well…" Pietro tried to think of an answer that didn't involve him thinking too much about what his sister might be doing.
"She's in bed with Logan," said Tabby bluntly.
Scott stood up to address the woman, forgetting he was somewhat dishevelled. "Ms. Harkness, you really shouldn't be here today. We have a lot of single men in the house and quite frankly I can't think of a good way for your visit to end."
To her credit, Agatha didn't look bemused. "I have no idea what you're talking about. Why is that boy gibbering on the floor?"
The Beast looked embarrassed. "The thing is…"
"Is it true?"
Agatha gave Sam a look. "What are you talking about?"
"Mrs Leech said older women have more experience."
"I suppose that's true," said Agatha, a slight widening of her eyes the only sign she was startled by the conversation.
"Ms. Harkness," said Bobby nervously. "I think you need to leave…"
Sam: Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft…
"We need to hurt Mrs Leech for putting this idea in his head," muttered Roberto.
"Poor Sam," said Bobby. "I think I need another drink."
Sam: And I've no defence for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do
Coz it's witchcraft
Wicked witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo…
"For good reason!" said Roberto. "She's about a hundred years old!"
Sam: When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what you're leading me to…
"She's probably cast a spell on him," said Pietro. "Either that or he's really desperate."
"I'd bet money on option two," smirked Bobby.
Sam: It's such an ancient pitch
But I wouldn't make the switch
Coz there's no nicer witch than you…
Agatha broke into a small smile. "That's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me."
"Uh, glad you liked it," said Sam, rubbing his neck nervously.
"So would you like to come with me back to wherever it is I live?"
"NO!" shouted Pietro. "That's too much! You're too old for that sort of thing!"
"So I need a final fling." Agatha took Sam by the hand and the two walked toward the door. "You know, old people have sex too."
"Old people should never say that word!" Pietro yelled after them. Cannonball glared at him, then picked Agatha up and blasted through the wall with her.
"Two walls and no ceiling." Jean looked vaguely depressed. "This is gonna take ages to fix."
"That's OK," said Lance, taking her hand. "You can stay at the Brotherhood house with me."
"No she can't" said Pietro threateningly.
"Can we talk about this later?" Beast tried to get the attention of the room. "We need to do something about the tainted water supply or the madness will never end!"
"And even more important," said Pietro urgently. "When will I get to do my song?"
Song is 'Witchcraft' by Frank Sinatra.
