Part 2: Stuck
"Fine...okay...Thank you." Moira hung up the phone. She turned to look at everyone, who was sitting around.
They were all in Moira's COM room, hoping she'd be able to get the fuel they needed.
"Okay, they'll send the fuel." Moira began, as the other's faces became relieved. "But there's a problem," She continued, "The only time the port will send it will be after the storm. They won't send any ferries in this weather."
"Great." Pete grumbled, "Ill never get off this bloody rock."
Moira chose to ignore his comment, "I guess I better get some rooms ready, 'cause this storm isn't going tonight."
Hank shook his head, "We don't want to impose."
Moira shook her head, "Nonsense. Where else would you stay?"
Hank seemed to think about it for a moment, then nodded, "Very well, but some of us will share rooms. That way we take up less space, and you won't have to prepare as many rooms."
"Kitty and I can share me old room!" Pete said in a nonchalant tone.
Moira looked at him confused, "Pete your old room, only had one bed."
Pete shrugged innocently, "Don't see the problem."
Logan growled, "Watch it, hot hands."
"Oh great." Pete groaned, "She has a bloody father figure."
Moira sighed annoyed, "Only a while longer, then he'll be out of me life forever."
Hank looked at Logan, "Do you mind if we share a room?" He asked.
"Don't matter to me none." Logan replied.
"Very well," Hank said, "Kitty and Rogue can share as well as Kurt and Pete."
"I still say Kitty and I should share." Pete interjected.
"Don't worry, Mein Friend." Kurt smiled, "I'll be a great roomy."
"Yeah.....well, I won't." Pete said stubbornly.
Kurt shrugged, "It's just for one night, plus you can't be that bad."
"I snore.....loud." Pete lied, hoping to scare Kurt off.
"I'm a heavy sleeper." Kurt smiled.
"I make weird noises." Pete clenched his cheeks.
"I'll laugh at you."
"I talk in me sleep...all night."
"I'll talk back...or record you."
By now Pete was fuming, he didn't like losing battles, not even verbal battles, "I Bloody sleep walk and KILL me BLOODY annoying roommates!"
This time Kurt didn't say anything, but Kitty did, "If you do this things, what makes you think I want to share with you?" Kitty asked teasingly.
Pete smiled flirtingly, "Simple luv, I have warm feet, you feet are probably like ice plates."
Kitty giggled, "Still the whole killing you roommate doesn't sound fun."
"Ah, but I said 'annoying' roommates." Pete clarified. "And you, Pryde, do anything but annoy me."
"Well, then what do I do, Wisdom?" She asked.
Pete leaned closer, "Do you really want to know?"
Kitty looked down blushing furiously, while Pete smiled smugly.
Meanwhile, everyone, who had heard what was said between the two, stared in shock. Even Lance had never had flirted so openly.

Later that night, Kitty and Rogue were laying in their beds waiting for sleep to overcome them.
"So Kitty," Rogue pushed herself up to lie on her side, facing Kitty, leaning on her elbow. "What do you think of our new member?" She asked.
Kitty shrugged, "He's nice."
Rogue snorted in amusement, "The only person he wasn't rude to was you." Kitty started laughing with Rogue, "He's manners are worse then any Brotherhood member."
At the mention of the name of the Brotherhood, Kitty instantly remembered Lance and stopped laughing.
Rogue realized what she said, started apologize, "Aw, Kit, I didn't mean to. I really wasn't thinking-"
"Rogue," Kitty interrupted, "It's okay. It's not like he's dead or anything."
Rogue sighed, "I know Kit, but I know it must be hard."
"We just broke up Rogue." Kitty said, "Nothing else, we're just not together anymore is all. And everyone knew it wasn't going to last." She fought to control her emotions, "I mean, he's Brotherhood, and I am X- men..."
"I did." Rogue whispered. "I though you guys were going to last."
Kitty looked at her surprised.
Rogue started explaining herself. "I always thought you guys had this love...and it would be strong enough for anything."
"But it wasn't." Kitty sniffed. "And now he hates me, he thinks I thought I was better then him, so he hates me." She looked at Rogue pleadingly, "But I didn't think that way Rogue, I promise I didn't! I was just so stressed out and I yelled at him, but I never thought he was lower then me." It seemed that Kitty was pleading to Rogue as if she were pleading to Lance, for forgiveness.
Rogue got out of bed and sat in hers, she wrapped her around Kitty, in comforting way. Thankfully, because of the cold weather, they were both wearing long sleeves.
"I know Kit, I know."
*******************************
"...And then there's Bobby, we call him Iceman..."
"Let me guess, he controls ice." Pete grumbled sarcastically.
"Ga!" Kurt smiled, "And then came Sunspot-"
"LOOK you blue monkey!" Pete sat up from his bed, "I don't care! I told you that five minutes ago when you started telling the bleeding meaning of their codename, or half in hour ago, when you started telling me about their power, or 45 minutes before that when you told me about yer wonderful Amanda. And even in the very beginning when you started the whole bloody conversation about how bloody great Bayville is! I didn't care then, and I don't care now!"
After Pete finished his rant, he threw himself on the bed.
"But I was just trying-"
"Wagner," Pete warned, "do you remember what I told you about me sleep- killing?"
Kurt looked down embarrassed and hurt. "Sorry." He mumbled.
Pete sighed and sat up, "Look Wagner, I'm sorry. It's just I'm stressed all right. You don't really annoy me....but don't tell anyone I told you that."
"Gotcha." Kurt brightened, "Sorry, if I was being annoying, but I just wanted to talk to you about things that might interest you."
Pete squinted his eyes, appearing to think; "You want to talk to me about things that interest me? Then tell me everything you know about Pryde."
"You really like her don't you." Kurt asked with a smile.
Pete sighed at looked at up at the ceiling, "I NEVER get all hang up on a bird. Never! But from the first time I saw Kitty I felt----and I can't believe I just admitted that to you. You better never tell anyone on how sappy I got, got it!"
"Yeah, no worries." Kurt smiled. "So what do you want to know about Kitty?"
Pete leaned closer, Kurt having his complete attention, "Everything!"
"Fine...okay...Thank you." Moira hung up the phone. She turned to look at everyone, who was sitting around.
