The teams ran to their respective huddles, the girls were still cheering, while the boys were now slightly ticked off. Roberto said to Kurt, "Teleport to my right, I'll pass you the ball, and then you teleport into the endzone."
"I thought this was a no power game," Remy interjected as Scott scowled at him.
"Edie didn't jump over us, she flew. And if I know her and Tabitha at all, they'll start using powers soon as well. Tabby is a loose cannon and Edie has the attention span of a goldfish," Bobby remarked.
"Eden seems pretty sharp to me," said Remy.
They broke the huddle and sure enough, Roberto got the ball, Kurt teleported to the right, Roberto passed the ball to him and he teleported into the end zone.
"That's, like, the SECOND time you guys the no power rule," Kitty yelled as she pushed her hair out of her eyes.
"Watcha gonna do about it Kitty cat?" laughed Sam.
Eden was steaming mad. She snatched the ball from Kurt. "Our ball," she snapped and marched her team back by the tree. Once she saw Rogue she said angrily, "Can't you just drain them all Rogue?"
"Eden!" Jean exclaimed. "That would only be SLIGHTLY dangerous!"
"Not to mention I'd have to touch them," Rogue said with disgust.
Eden began to pace. "Ok, we need to score another goal. Whatever it takes girls." Rahne and Jean exchanged concerned looks and Tabitha punched the air with her fist.
"Yeah! Let's show them what we are made of!" she exclaimed.
The girls headed towards the play line as the boys broke from thier huddle. On the way there, Remy twirled a fallen leaf between his fingers. Just about halfway there Scott stuck out his foot and tripped Remy. He stumbled and responded by charging the leaf and tossing it in front of Scott's face. Scott then grabbed Remy's trenchcoat to yank him back, but Remy had already worked his way out of the coat.
Eden elbowed Jean and whispered, "Check out the bod on the new guy!"
Under his trenchcoat, Remy was wearing a pair of jeans and a black sweater that looked slightly too small. Jubille put her hand to her heart and declared dramatically, "I think I'm in love....."
"Oh god," Rogue said rolling her eyes.
Once they all lined up, Tabitha snapped the ball to Rahne. She ran to the left and quickly passed the ball off to Rogue while Eden blasted at Jamie's feet to keep him away from Rogue. After catching the ball she tried to run towards the goal, but Remy stepped into her path.
"Well well chere, we meet again. Goin somewhere?" he smiled as he charged at her. Kitty quickly ran over to her and grabbed Rogue's arm, phasing the two of them right through Remy.
"Run!" Kitty yelled at her as she let go of her arm.
"Wha.." Remy stammered from the ground.
"Yes!" Jubilee and Rahne cheered as Rogue scored.
"See? I told you it didn't matter if the guys outnumbered us," Jean said to Eden.
The boys were now really ticked. The next play, Roberto knocked Eden into the sidelines, making her fall right onto Logan, knocking the two of them backwards in his chair. Orono nearly got his by one of Ray's blasts. A few plays later both teams and the spectators were really peeved.
"We have to distract them," Roberto panted, trying to catch his breath.
"Yeah but how? Take off our shirts and blind them with our manliness?" Kurt joked.
Bobby thought for a moment. "That's it! Kurt you are a genius!"
"That won't work," Scott protested.
"Let's try it. Eden's looking at us right now. Kurt! QUick! Take your shirt off!" Ray said quickly.
"Why me?" Kurt asked.
"Your idea, now do it before she looks away," Bobby insisted.
Grumbling, Kurt pulled his torn shirt over his head and tossed it to the side.
Eden's eyes got big and her jaw dropped. Jean tried to talk to her but Eden wasn't paying attention.
"Well, It works on her," Jamie observed, laughing.
And with that, all the other guys began to pull off thier shirts and Eden's eyes got bigger and bigger and they swore they heard her say, "Hubba hubba!" The boys lined up on the field and waited for the girls, laughing. The girls finally broke their huddle and had to do a double take when they saw the boys. Some jaws dropped, and the comments started flying.
"Bobby! Put your shirt back on! I don't want to be sick!" Rahne yelled.
"Are they supposed to be that skinny? They look like stick figures," Jubilee said.
"I think I'm going to, like, throw up," groaned Kitty.
Jean laughed at them while Rogue put her face in her hands. Eden was gawking at all of them and said, "Good GOD! When did you pansies get muscles?"
"Eden! Snap out of it!" Tabitha yelled shaking the other girl.
"Yeah, yeah yeah.... Yowza!" Eden said.
When the girls finally lined up the boys started making muscle poses and flexing, showing off for the girls and saying stupid stuff like, "See my abs? ABS OF STEEL BABY!" or "Wanna see me make my chest muscles dance?"
Rogue groaned and Tabitha threw the ball at Roberto's head. "Line up you future Chippendale dancers you," she joked.
Roberto snapped the ball to Bobby who passed it to Jamie. Eden grabbed his leg and made him fall. Grabbing the ball she looked to see who was closest to the goal.
"ROGUE! CATCH!" she yelled.
"Why is it always ME?" Rogue yelled back, catching the ball.
I see pain in my future, she thought to herself as she started to run. She turned to face the goal and WHAM! She hit someone right in the chest and fell backwards onto the ground. She pushed her hair out of her eyes and saw Remy grinning at her with his hand extended.
"Fallinf for me all over again chere?" he asked, still smiling.
"Ugh," Rogue grunted as she picked herself off the ground, ignoring the helping hand Remy offered her. The sound of arguing drew thier attention. Eden and Bobby were yelling at eachother so loud, their faces were red.
"Eden! You can't yank someone out of your way by trying to depants them!" Bobby yelled.
"Like that's the worst thing we've done! You can't penalize me for that!" She yelled back. "There are always fights in football. I've seen them on tv.............."
Logan tried to supress a laugh. "Are you sure you were watching football Sparky?"
"That's the one with clubs and hoops right?" Eden asked, scratching her head.
"Nooo..." Logan nearly laughed.
"OH! Wait! I know! Football is the one where you hit goals and try to hit the ball into a basket and you win the gold medal?"
"EDEN! NONE OF THAT IS FOOTBALL!" Logan exclaimed.
"What? No, wait, really?" Eden scratched her head. "You mean we won't win the Stanely Cup?" By this time everyone on the field had stopped playing and all the boys were laughing at Eden's mistake.
"Society Barbie can't tell the sports apart!" laughed Bobby.
CRACK! BOOM! Bobby was thrown back five feet and where he was standing was a huge crater. Eveyone looked towards Eden, she shrugged and said matter of factly, "I told him if he called me that one more time, I'd get him."
"I can't believe our debutante confused Ice Hockey, Basketball, Baseball, and Football," laughed Bobby from the ground.
Eden opened her mouth to snap back, but Xavier cut her off. "Students, it's getting late. Let us all head inside."
The teenagers all headed into the house, arguing over who won. Ray helped Bobby to his feet. The two of them sayed outside while everyone else headed in.
Remy, Kurt, and Jamie reached the doors first. Remy pulled open the door and held it open for everyone. Tabitha, Rahne, and Jubilee all giggled as they walked by, all eyeing Remy like he was a hunk of meat. Sam and Scott passed by next, with Scott still giving Remy the Death Glare. After Scott and Sam, Eden, Jean, Kitty, and Rogue came up the front steps. Jean was laughing with Eden about how she blasted Bobby off his feet. Kitty followed right behind them, teasing Rogue about her sweater over her shoulder. Rogue brought up the rear of the group, threatening Eden with death if she didn't bring Rogue's other clothes out of hiding. Remy stepped in front of Rogue, startling her.
"Watch where you're going Swamp Rat," she glared at him.
"Care to show me where I'll be saying chere?" grinning wickedly, he added,"Your room perhaps?"
Rogue scowled at him and stalked past him into the foyer where everyone else was groped together.
"I love it when you play hard t'get," he called after her. He saw her stop and clench her fists, and she started walking away again. He could swear he heard her say something, but he didn't quite catch what. Knowing her, it probably wasn't very polite.
"It seems you'll be bunking with me," came a voice from behind. Remy turned slightly and saw with relief Kurt standing behind him. Kurt smiled at him and led the way upstairs to where the student rooms were located. As they walked through the crowd they noticed the girls wer all huddled together. Rahne, Jubilee, Amara, and Tabitha were all laughing at something Scott had said. Bobby and Ray were still outside plotting who knows what. Jamie was trying to get into a conversation with Sam, which left Kitty, Jean, and Eden teasing Rogue. Rogue said something back to them while picking leaves and twigs out of her hair and off her clothes. Kitty joined the other girls in laughing at Scott which gave Jean and Eden the opportunity to tease Rogue about Remy. Kurt and Remy started up the stairs, still watching the others in the foyer. As they passed the small groups of mutants, they heard snippets of conversations. Tabitha was once again telling the younger girls that Remy was taken. Jubilee laughed and said Tabitha was making it up so she could go after him with no competiton. Tabitha responded by rolling her eyes at them. Further on they heard Scott and Sam discussing the game while Jamie kept trying to join in the conversation. As they got closer to Jean, Eden, and Rogue, the harder it was to hear them, since the were now nearing the second floor. All they could make out was Eden asking Rogue, "Does it bother you?" Kurt and Remy reached the second floor so they didn't hear Rogue's response. Out of the corner of his keen eyes, Kurt noticed how Remy watched Rogue, and how she watched him when she thought no one was looking. A sudden protective attitude towards Rogue surfaced in Kurt. Without thinking Kurt remarked to Remy, "You know she'll never admit tht she's glad you are here."
"Well mon ami, I may have to make that my main objective," Remy replied lightly.
Kurt laughed. "I know I'd like to see that. Eden and Jean'll want front row seats to that show as well!" The two of them walked down the long hallway Remy recognized as the student dormitories. Walking down the hallway away from the girl's rooms, Kurt opened the bedroom door and laughed, thinking about how the girls were all oogling Remy.
"You know, you've made quite an impression on all the girls," Kurt mentioned to him.
"So which one of de' petite's caught your eye?" Remy asked Kurt.
"Ohhh...well... I don't think any of the girls here are interested in the fuzzy one." Kurt stammered.
"I think you're wrong, mon ami," Remy started to say, and as if on cue, Eden came bursting through the doorway dressed in clean clothes and her long hair loose.
The teams ran to their respective huddles, the girls were still cheering, while the boys were now slightly ticked off. Roberto said to Kurt, "Teleport to my right, I'll pass you the ball, and then you teleport into the endzone."
"I thought this was a no power game," Remy interjected as Scott scowled at him.
