The sound of a jeep screeching to a halt, a door slamming and some slightly insane laughter annonced Tabitha's arrival. Instead of going through the gate, Tabitha had parked the jeep at a angle right in front of the gate, and hopped over the fence. Remy saw how Tabitha just hopped the fence and felt a slight pang of embarassment.
If she could just hop the fence, I could have to, he thought to himself.
Tabitha heard the last part of the conversation and ran up to the group, and said panting slightly, "How about you just jump in when someone gets hurt?" She smiled at everyone and gave a joyful wave. "Sorry I'm late. I had to "borrow" Lance's ride."
"You mean STEAL Lance's ride," Jamie was heard muttering.
"Borrow, steal, what's the diff?" Tabitha joked, shrugging her shoulders. Facing Rogue again, she re-stated, "You'll jump in if someone get's hurt, right?"
"No."
"Rogue! Come on! Pleeeeeeeeease?" whined Eden.
"Will you quit bugging me?" Rogue asked her.
"For the moment, yes," Eden nodded.
"Yeah yeah, I'll play if someone can't."
"Why don't we make this interesting?" Bobby asked, smiling.
"How so? You boy's will use your brains?" snapped Eden.
"Boys versus Girls," he said with a triumphant look on his face. "I'll be the boys captian and you, Society Barbie, can be the captian for the girls."
"I am not a barbie!" yelled Eden, her eyes screwed shut. Opening her eyes and glaring at Bobby she snapped at him, "Fine, but you'll wish you never suggested this."
"Oooooh we're shaking! What are you going to do? Curl our hair or put make up on us?" teased Ray.
"It's ok Bobby, the girls are chicken!" Sam called from the back of the group. The girls started yelling again and got ready to attack the boys again and Kurt laughed and high fived Sam.
"That was awesome, Sam!" Kurt said to him.
"You'll see, when we like, kick your butts all over the field!" Kitty yelled.
"You wanna play Boys versus Girls? FINE! We'll show you!" Eden fumed. She faced the other and beackoned Amara, Jubilee, Kitty, Tabitha, Rahne, and Rogue to follow her. They huddled themselves at the base of the big tree in which Remy was hiding.
Da Petite has a temper, the thought to himself with amusement.
"Ya'll are not seriously going to do this?" asked Rogue.
"Ooooh yeah!" laughed Tabitha, shaking her hips, "Those boys won't know what hit them! They may have more brawn, but we have something better.... Our feminine wiles!" she giggled to the other girls winking at them. The rest of the girls joined Tabitha in laughing, even Rogue cracked a smile and laughed with the rest of them. From up in the tree, Remy smiled slightly. The last time he had seen her was when Eden had mistakenly let him into the mansion after he had told her he was a delivery boy. The incident still made him laugh. He'd been extremely forward with Rogue and Eden had been used as a human shield for the most part. Remembering the incident, he allowed himself to replay the best part in his head.
Gambit raised an eyebrow, "If ya say so, chere." he stood up, streched, and walked over to Rogue's side of the couch, and sat on the arm next to her. "and how has Rogue been?" Gently, he streched his hand down and stroked her hair, grinning down at her.
Rogue jerked her head away. She couldn't put her finger on it, but he made her uneasy. She got up and walked over to Eden and tilted her head so she wasn't sleeping on her face. "Five more minutes....................." came the muffled response.
Gambit chuckled, following Rogue with his eyes. "care ta giv' your ragin' cajun a tour oh de place?" he asked her, wandering around the room. "or maybe we coul' just skip de tour and head up to de room, non?" he waggled his eyebrows at the Goth playfully, the lopsided grin still plastered across his face
Rogue, who had Eden's head in her hands, dropped Eden's head right into the hardwood floor.
"OOOOWWWWW!" came Eden's outraged yell. "What did you do that for?" "Sorry!" Rogue said to her, helping her off the floor. "Your head must have slipped or something." Eden glanced over at Gambit and saw the self-satisfied smirk on his face and her 14 year old brain figured out what was going on. "Well since you are not going to answer him Rogue, I will. We'd love to give you a tour."
But Eden had left them alone for a while and Rogue had seemed to draw inward, almost as if he had frightened her. He turned his thoughts from thier last encounter and listened to what the girls were saying.
"You know this game won't last long without powers," muttered Rahne.
"That's for sure," agreed Jublilee, "But I vote that we let the boys break that rule first."
"Does anyone know how to play?"
"WHAT? You don't know how to play Eden? This what YOUR IDEA!" exclaimed Rogue, "What do you mean you don't know how to play? Why did you suggest this?"
"Well.......I uh........ I heard the boys talking about it...." she started to say.
"More like you heard KURT talking about it," giggled Amara.
"NO!" blushed Eden.
Another argument was brewing so Tabitha said quickly, "Relax, My dad used to make me watch it with him all the time, I'll help you out," Tabitha wrapped her arm around the Eden's shoulders and led the younger girl away explaining the basics of football. The boys started to get impatient, they were tired of picking on eachother.
"What are you girls doing? Comparing nail polish?" yelled Roberto. The sound of the boys laughing almost drowned out the "Let's GO!" he yelled next.
"FINE!" yelled Eden, nearly knocking Tabitha out by the sheer volume of her voice.
"Ooooh I wonder what suprised Society Barbie and her friends have in store for us," teased Bobby.
Eden made a gesture that could be interperted as a "you're dead meat!" gesture. "Shut up," growled Eden. "Ok, let's go!" she said to the other girls. All the girls, minus Rogue, followed Eden out to the "playing field".
The teams were just about to line up for the first play when Rogue noticed the football at her feet. Sighing she picked it up. "Ya'll forgot this again," Rogue called out, holding the football.
"Duh Eden! We can't play without a ball!" Ray said.
Amara giggled and ran back to Rogue. "Whoops! Thanks Rogue! Oh and by the way...... nice sweater."
"Whatever," Rogue told her with a flip of her hand.
"Like, come on Amara! Let's go!" Kitty called to Amara.
"Wish the boys luck Rogue, they won't know what hit them!" Amara said in a low voice to Rogue. Waving to Rogue, Amara ran back and joined the other girls.
"About time," Rouge could hear Sam say to her. She turned just in time to see Amara throw the ball at Sam's head and Kurt teleporting in front of Sam and grabbing the football with his tail.
If she could just hop the fence, I could have to, he thought to himself.
