"So Jean, I was thinking.."

"HA! Scott was thinking!"

"Rude much Ray?"

"Does anyone else have to read Frankenstien for English?"

"I do. I can't understand it."

"Like I was saying, Jean..."

"Hey Barbie, pass the salad."

"Bite me Bobby."

"Ewwwwww..."

"Kurt! If you wanted more salad just ask! Don't hang off the chandelier."

"Ugh, now I don't want any more salad.

"Kurt, like that was so gross!"

"So how far into the book are you?"

"Not far. I can't seem to get past the second chapter. Do they make cliffnostes for this book?"

"No Cheating! I didn't use cliffnotes!"

"Well I can't understand this stupid book!"

"Well, uh, Jean.... I was thinking..."

"One minute Scott, If you need help with the book just ask and I'll help you."

"Ugh."

"So who are you taking to homecoming Rahne?"

"ME!"

"I'm not talking to you Roberto!"

"Why not? I'm a good looking, I'm a party animal! Come on Rahne! Go with me!"

"I'll think about it."

"YES!"

"How about you Amara?"

"Jim Elwood from my english class. He's sooooo dreamy!"

"Yeah, he's totally babelike."

"Shut your mouth Sam!"

The conversations continued to swirl around the table. One by one, Xavier, Logan, and Orono left the table, leaving only the teenagers. Somehow the conversation got onot pick up lines and the girls began giving examples of the worst one's they had heard. Throughout the dinner, Remy kept putting his hand on Rogue's knee and she kept pushing it off. Finally she got so annoyed that she got up and moved to Logan's empty seat which happened to be directly across from Remy.

"Pick up lines are soooo lame!" Eden remarked, taking a drink of water from her glass.

"I know! Guys only use them when they lack the creativity to just say something intelligent." Kitty agreed.

Jubilee laughed. "What's the lamest line you've ever heard?"

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" Jean answered immediately.

"HA! Duncan sure is a creative soul......" Amara snorted.

"Yeah, that's why I dumped him," Jean laughed while picking at the remains of her salad.

"For me it was, Are you tired? You've been running through my mind all day." Rahne grinned, looking at Roberto.

"What?" he asked, his face flushing to a red that rivaled the tomatoes.

All the girls started laughing again while the boys grumbled. One the noise has subsided a bit, Remy stood up and leaned across the table and said to Rogue, "Do you believe in love at first sight?" Rogue raised an eyebrow as he continued. "Or do I have to walk by you again?" Remy wiggled his eyebrows up and down with a smile on his face.

Everyone started howling with laughter. Rogue turned a vibrant shade of red. As the laughter continued, Rogue threw her dinner roll at Remy's head. It made a soft boinking noise as it bounced off his forhead.

"FOOD FIGHT!" Roberto yelled, flinging a spoonful of tomatoes at Amara.

Within seconds, the food was flying. Laughter and flying food filled the dining room. Eden got hit in the face with a piece of chicken. She started to throw her salad and nailed Scott, Jean, and Rogue. Not wanting to get hit by any more projectile dinner objects, she practically dived under the table for cover. She sat down and leaned back and gasped when she collided with someone.

"Well chere, it seems great minds think a like," Remy said to her, shuffling some playing cards. Rogue moved to get out from under the table, but he grabbed her arm. "Stay with me a while. Plus I don't think you want to be out in that." The sound of joyful screaming and hysterical laughter was getting louder by the minute.

Logan, who heard the commotion upstairs, walked into the doorway and got nailed in the head with what was left of the large bowl of salad than had been in the middle of the table. Everyone stopped what they were doing and swung their eyes towards Logan. Rogue and Remy peeked out from under the table.

"Uh oh...." someone said.
