"HERE you guys are!" She exclaimed walking into the room and tripping over the backpack Kurt left in the middle of the floor.

"OOF!" she grunted as she landed in a heap on the floor.

"Don't you know how to knock frauline?" Kurt asked her, extending his hand to help her up.

"Why? You never knock when you bust into my room to bug me and Rogue."

"I don't do that!"

"Yes you DO! Only you usually teleport in and take something of ours so we have to chase you!"

"NO! I don't do that. You're taking crazy pills again, Edie."

"Yes you do! Just last week you teleported into our room after school and you literally dropped in on Rogue as she was doing her math homework. Then there was that time you busted into our room and hid under my bed becasue you short sheeted Logan's bed and he was hunting you down. Then there was this one time at school, you..." Eden would have kept on going, but Kurt had clamped his hand over her mouth to shut her up.

"Sounds like it gets interesting here," Remy stated.

Eden tried to say something but it came out all muffled seeing as Kurt still had his hand over her mouth. Remy was barely able to make out, "Sure does!" and the "Let go of my face Kurt."

"Only if you stop talking about my teleporting disasters," Kurt said to her.

"What are you doing to her? I must admit though, it's an improvement..." Came a voice from the door. Kurt turned his head and aw Rogue leaning against the door wearing black jeans, a tight longsleeve black shirt, and as always, her black gloves. She had a slight scowl on her face and her arms were crossed.

"She won't stop embarassing me," Kurt protested, his hand still clamped over Eden's mouth.

"Welcome to my world, Kurt. But really. Let her go." Rogue answered him.

"Yeah, let me go," Eden mumbled through his hand.

"Fine," He said reluctantly as he released Eden.

"Ya'll are nuts," Rogue commented as Eden kicked Kurt in the leg, then dodging his tail as he tried to retailate. Remy tossed his trenchcoat on what was now his bed. Rogue was intentionally ignoring the fact he was in the room. To stir things uup, he walked over to the door and leaned on the wall right by the door. Kurt now had Eden in a headlock that she was trying to get out of.

"Why all de black, Chere? You looked much nicer in the colors from earlier," he casually commented, still watching Eden and Kurt wrestle.

"Not that it's any of your business," she snapped, "But I happen to like black."

"Black be depressing Chere," he continued in the same calm tone.

"Well ya see, I'm only wearing black until they make something darker," Rogue said sarcasticaly as she pushed Kurt back from Eden before she could yank his tail. She then pushed Eden out of the room and towards their own room. The two boys could hear Eden as she and Rogue walked down the hall talking about how big of a dork Kurt was. Once they were in the room, Rogue remarked to Eden, "You know, one of these days he's going to figure out that you are in love with him."

"I am not!" Eden said hotly, her face turning beet red.

"Yes. You are." Rogue told her.

"Well, If i'm in love with Elf Boy, YOU are in love with the cajun," Eden retorted.

"What? ME? In love with HIM? NO WAY!"

"Yes. You are." Eden laughed.

The sound of male voices under their window caught Eden's attention. Prying open the widow, Eden saw that Ray and Bobby were directly under her window. She gave a joyous yelp and rushed to the bathroom.

"What on Earth?" Rogue wondered out loud.

A few minutes later, Eden emerged from the bathroom, holding a huge red water balloon.

"Come on Rogue! Help me nail Bobby. I still owe him for calling me Barbie."

Eden carefully opened the window all the way, taking great care not to make any noticable noise. She then leaned out the window so her top half was out the window. "Help me Rogue! I can't hold this thing still," Eden said in a low voice. Rogue sighed and also leaned out the window.

That was the sight that freeted Kurt and Remy as they made their way into the girls' room.

"Nice view," Remy remarked, checking out Rogue's butt.

Rogue looked back at him from over her shoulder and glared at him.

"What are you doing?" Kurt asked from the doorway.

"Shut up! I don't want him to hear you!" Eden hissed at Kurt. Turning back, she leaned even further out the window.

"I can't belive you are doing this. I can't belive I'm helping you do this," Rogue muttered.

"SHHHHH!" eden mved the balloon a smidge to the left and let it rip. A few seconds later they heard a loud SPLOOSH! and some angry yelling.

"BULLSEYE!" cheered Eden. "Take THAT Bobby Drake!" she celebrated as she closed the windows.

Kurt and Remy entered the room, both amused by Eden's victory dance. Kurt made himself comfortable on Eden's bed while Remy sat at Rogue's desk sraddling the chair so the could lean forward on the backrest.

Sitting on the windowsil, Rogue asked the celebrating Eden, "What were you hoping to accomplish?" Bobby's promise of revenge could be heard by the entire mansion.

"He deserved it! He kept calling me Barbie!"

"Actually, he called you Society Barbie," corrected Kurt.

Eden stuck her toung out at Kurt and Remy asked, "Why would he call you that petite?"

"My family is loaded. I remember my mother once sayint she wanted me to marry a Kennedy," Eden shrugged and added in a emotionless tone, "They disowned me when the found out I was a mutant. But enought about my family, or should I say the people who's gene pool I come from. Why are you here? Just to annoy me?"

"Turnabout's fair play," Kurt chided her.

While Eden and Kurt argued about who was annoying who, Rogue had settled herself on the window seat and started reading the book her teacher assigned in English class. She tried not to look at Remy. He noticed that, but didn't let it bother him. He rationalized that she'd eventually get used to him being around. He glanced at her again and this time caught her gaze. He winked at her, then grinned as she blushed and dropped her eyes back to her book, trying to ignore everyone else. Remy turned his attention back to Kurt and Eden who were now discussing how Bobby may retalaiate to the water balloon. After about five minutes, Jean poked her head in the door.

"Knock knock! Can I come in?"

"Sure thing Red!" answered Eden.

Jean grinned at the younger girl. "Edie, do you happen to know how Bobby got nailed in the head with a water balloon the size of a watermelon?"

"No! Poor Bobby! Did he really get hit by a water balloon?" Eden asked with fake concern.

"Save it you little troublemaker," Jean laughed, tapping her temple with her pointer finger. "I know it was you. I'm a telepath, remember?"

"Me? NO! I didn't do it!" Eden protested, holding up her right hand. "I swear it!"

"So that wasn't you hanging out the window when Remy and I got here?" Kurt asked, teasing her.

"I...... uh......... needed some air..... yeah! That's it!" Eden defended herself.

Rogue looked up from her book and rolled her eyes at Eden. Eden smiled at Rogue and winked. Shaking her head, Rogue chuckled to herself and turned her attention to her book again.
