Shout Outs-
Heroes for ghosts- Yay, you reviewed! What happened to you girl? The last time you reviewed anything of mine was waaaaay back when I was still writing 'The League of X-Tra-Ordinary Gentlemen.' Pete rules, so does Penny! Seeing that you're such an avid reviewer, you can look forward to Pete in a Speedo in later chapters.
Agent-G- I'm not sure that Gambit would dare to steal from Frosty, I doubt that he is that suicidal.
Showstopper- Wow, so polite. You have a good day yourself buddy. I'm glad that you liked the chapter. I thought that Pete's comment was more Charlton Heston in 'Planet of the Apes' than Homer Simpson. Seeing that your name is 'Showstopper', I can't help but ask, you don't happen to be a Shawn Michaels fan do you?
'Oh bugger me backwards!' Pete moans.
'Pete?' Kitty gasps.
'Mein Gott!' Kurt adds.
'Comrade Wisdom.' Piotr adds nonchalantly.
'I ain't got no frickin' idea who you are buddy.' Sarah yawns.
Pete gets up off the ground and dusts himself off.
'Well this is a turn up for the books.' He says. 'What're the chances of me runnin' inter me old teammates?'
'Well it's good to see you again mein freund.' Kurt replies, shaking Wisdom's hand.
'It's good ter see yer too, yer fuzzy blue kraut.' Pete replies.
'So what brings you to this neck of the woods?' Kurt asks.
'I got press-ganged inter a campin' trip with the rest of the Gen-X kids.' Pete repleis.
'I knew that the Massachusetts Academy had a new teacher.' Kurt says. 'But I didn't realize that it was you.'
'You're a teacher?' Kitty asks, not believing her ears. 'Since when?'
'Since yer dumped me.' Pete replies matter-of-factly.
'Ooooh, burn!' Sarah grins, casting a smug glace over at Kitty.
Kitty just ignores Sarah's comments and continues talking to Wisdom.
'Know hard feelings I see.' She sighs. 'Shouldn't you be getting back? I'm sure that the Ice Queen would be starting to consider worrying about you.'
'That's the problem, y'see.' Pete replies. 'I'm kinda lost. I left out campsite for a piss and got turned around. Penny wasn't far behind me?'
Kitty is about to ask who Penny is when something comes barrelling through the undergrowth and knocks her to the ground. Kitty phases out form the attacker and drops into a fighting stance.
'I wouldn't do that if I were you, Pryde.' Pete says. 'This is Penny.'
'That's Penny?' Kitty asks, casting a cautious look over the red-skinned young girl.
'Geez Wisdom.' Sarah snorts. 'She makes the old me look pretty!'
Kitty kneels down and holds out her hand in greeting.
'Hi Penny, I'm Kitty.'
Penny looks at Kitty's hand, then her face before looking back at Pete.
{I don't like her.} She tells him. {She's mean.}
Pete snorts in amusement at Penny's comments.
'That's alright luv.' He replies. 'She ain't gonna hurt yer, she's me ex.'
{That's why I don't like her.} Penny says. {She made you sad.}
Kurt turns to Piotr and whispers in his ear.
'Is it me or is Wisdom talking to a mute girl with razor-sharp skin?'
'It's not you tovarisch.' Piotr replies.
'You'll have ter forgive Penny.' Pete says. 'She's kinda protective.'
'Riiight.' Kitty replies. 'So... you wanna join us for some hot chocolate?'
'Only if it's got Scotch in.' Pete replies.
'You never give up do you?' Kitty sighs.
Later-
Pete has now joined Kitty and the others around the campfire. They're drinking hot chocolate. Well, the others are but Pete keeps on adding so much Scotch that it's more Scotch than chocolate. Penny is sitting over to the side, looking up from her apple every now and then to glare at Kitty.
'Don't take this the wrong way Pete.' Kitty says. 'But I think your friend doesn't like me.'
'What gives yer that idea Pryde?' Pete replies bitterly. 'The way that yer tore out my heart and ground it up under yer heel?'
Kitty groans out loud at Pete's words.
'I told you that we couldn't be together.' She replies. 'We're just too different.'
'That never bothered Kurt and Amanda.' Pete replies. 'Or Rahne and Douglock.'
'I'm never going to live this down am I?' Kitty sighs.
'I'll say.' Pete replies. 'I wasn't the one that bloody cheated in me partner!'
'I told you.' Kitty replies. 'We were just friends!'
'Wow, this is cool!' Sarah says. 'This should be on pay-per-view!'
Kurt and Piotr cast Sarah a warning glare and she lets the matter go.
Later still-
Pete and Penny are walking back to camp after the argument with Kitty.
{Pete, can I ask you something?}
'Sure luv.' Pete replies. 'What do yer want ter ask?'
{Do you still like the Stinky-heartbreaker-girl?'}
'Kinda.' Pete replies. 'Pryde'll always have a special place in me heart. She was the only woman that I've ever truly loved but... it wasn't ter be so...'
Penny pats Pete's arm in sympathy as he trails off sadly.
The two turn as they hear someone approaching them. It's Kitty.
'Uh Pete, can I talk to you for a sec?' She asks.
'Sure Pryde.' Pete replies. 'Penny, you go back ter the other, I've just got ter talk ter Pryde fer a bit.'
{Alright.} Penny sighs. {But if she hurts you again, I'm going to tear her heart out.}
After penny ahs gone Pete turns back to Kitty.
'So what did yer want ter ask me Pryde?'
'I just want to apologise for the way I spoke to you earlier.' Kitty replies. 'You had good reasons to be upset. What we had in Excalibur was special and I was wrong to break it up. So what I'm asking is... do you want to give it another go? Our relationship, I mean.'
'No.' Pete replies.
Kitty looks at her ex in amazement.
'W-what do you mean no?' She asks. 'What was all that back there for?'
'I just wanted to get my feelings off my chest.' Pete replies. 'Sure, what we had was great but it just weren't supposed ter be. Besides. I've met someone else.'
'It's Penny, isn't it?' Kitty asks, starting to get angry.
'Yes it is.' Pete replies.
Kitty just looks at Pete with a dumbfounded expression on her face.
'B-but she...'
'Cares for me?' Pete finishes. 'Yeah she may be young but all I care is the fact that she likes me for the Scotch-swilling-chain-smokin'-foul-mouthed bloke that I am. We can still be friends if you want.'
Kitty just stares blankly at Pete.
'I-I suppose...' She finally manages to say. 'I'll see you... later...'
Back at the Gen-X camp-
Pete finally manages to find his way back to the campsite.
'Anybody miss me while I was gone?' He asks.
'You were gone?' Jubilee replies.
'Nice to know that I'm loved.' Pete sighs, sitting down on a log next to Penny. 'At least you care about me, eh Penny?'
{Darn tootin'!} Penny replies, looking up at Pete and smiling sweetly.
Much to everybody's surprise, Pete puts his arm around Penny and gives her a hug, regardless of the danger of cutting himself on her skin.
Penny's eyes dart about nervously as she looks at Pete's arm around her shoulder.
{Umm, Pete. Does this mean that...?}
'I like yer?' Pete finishes for her. 'I sure do!'
A huge grin spreads over Penny's face as she grabs Pete in a huge hug.
'Ow, Penny!' Pete winces. 'Watch yer claws luv! Ow, I sure hope that I didn't need that shoulder for anythin!'
END...
NEXT: The Witch, the Tiger and the Green Chick. Three Avengers travel to the Massachusetts Academy to give a speech to the students. Wackiness ensues (as usual!)
