Review Responses:
PomegranateQueen—To quote Hillary Duff... Which is a scary thing to do, "Our lips are sealed."
Ish—Well, my fingers now have black nail polish on them. It's... mediocre-naugty. I mean, if you count... um... Well, you'll just have to see. I mean, they say dreams are desires of the mind... I know! Wanda's so lucky! Damn razors... No, no grinding. But something does sort of knock his head into place. Well, he does become nice and protective Remy, and big brotherly Remy and 'Shut the hell up, Wanda' Remy. No problem!
Enchantedlight—Thanks!
Dreamcatcher89—I know this was a review for the last chapter, but I needed to answer it. Yep, that's why. She was listening to Breaking The Habit because if you listen to it from a certain perspective, you can see it as a suicidal song. And it's a good song. And I was listening to it at the time. I almost had it be System of a Down's Chop Suey, or Marilyn Manson's cover of Sweet Dreams.
RikaTabithaStarr- An incident happened like that to me. My friend, Fletcher, decided he wanted my thong. Luckily, he's moved now, and he won't get it, unless I mail it to him. He said he wanted it /after/ I'd worn it. He was an asshole, but a cute asshole.
EvilWhiteRaven—Well, he's Remy! He's quite a perv! Jono comes! Chapter 17, look for him!
SickmindedSucker—That's a good thing then. Oh my god, yes, that tail! Actually, Kat and I were having fun last year and role playing. She was Kitty at the time, (later she switched to Tabby, and is now stuck on Wanda.) and it was so funny! You know who else would be good at stuff like that? Todd, with his tongue? And Pietro! Though he'd be a bit too fast for me... Stupid and clichéd! Woot! I have that outfit actually... Well, at least the tank top. I don't have leather pants. But I have a tight black skirt that has leather stripes on the sides. ::nods:: Yep, that's my wardrobe.
Goldylokz—HEY! Hurry up with chapter 18! Oh yeah, she's going commando!
DemonicGambit—Somethings are beyond even me.
Misspresh—New Reviewer, me thinks! Hello hello! Guys just have like a weird stealing underwear fetish. Oh well, it's kinky!
DemonRogue13—Thanks! That comment was inspired by my friends and I during play practice, somehow, we got to discussing Britney Spears and her Toxic video. And how she had to like, lay there for about five million hours to get all those diamonds glued on her. One of the guys said, "Wow, whoever got to do that is lucky." We pointed out that it was probably some women did it, and then that she obviously shaved, because you could see just about everything. Then one of the girls was like, "I SHAVE LIKE A PORN STAR!" And it just stuck with me.
TheDreamerLady—Thanks Amanda! ::drinks:: Silver stars? Sounds intriguing! Pietro on crack and sugar? SCARY!
TheHotChick—Yeah, she would be! Wow! Actually, you just reminded me of an idea Kat gave me for one of these chapters, which I think would be pretty groovy, and quite a turn of events.
Rage-girl-05—Party party! I'm glad I remind you of something... Wait, or am I? Hmm...?
IvyZoe—Yay! I'm so glad it's working for you! ::dances like a crazed ninny:: You got jealous that everyone else was reviewing? I donno about you but I've always been more partial to review if someone does reviewer reponses like this, ya know? Makes me feel special. Wanda just knows because Wanda knows all. Plot hole! Remy's just stupid. Don't worry... You'll find out...
Kitty-mm—Ah... My friend, I'm on the phone with said: 'Go stew in your own juices,' but that's just him. I'm getting mixed messages from this review, oh NEW REVIEWER!, so... Romy is coming, like I've told numerous peoples numerous times. So far, the Romy is just underlying and will be coming shortly. MEH! You impatient people you!
People of the world just to tell you, I will be out of town this weekend. Don't expect a new chapter until late Sunday or Monday. My parental units are brutally evil. BUT, to make it all up to you, I'm going to bring my laptop and work on the rest of the chapters. START LOOKING FOR THE ROMY!
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you," Rogue complained as she stepped out of the bathroom after changing into the clothes Wanda had forced her to wear.
"I think you look great," Wanda said, sounding out of character. "Remy?" But Remy was too busy drooling over Rogue. "And on the bright side, you don't have to worry about panty lines at all!"
"All the other ones are in the wash!" Rogue complained. "I can't believe you convinced me to go commando!"
"Y' din' have a choice," Remy pointed out.
"And even if you didn't, we'd stuff you in those pants anyway," Wanda smiled evilly. "So... How will we get there?"
"Firs' things firs'," Rogue said, pointing her finger at Wanda. "Where are we goin'?"
"We're goin' to a new club. 21 plus."
"I'm still 20," Rogue pointed out.
"But... You can't tell. And I know the guy who runs the place. He'll let us in no problem." Famous last words, Wanda.
"What do you mean we can't go in? I know Lamar!" Wanda sputtered at the bouncer.
"Sorry missy, but this sign says 'No Mutants,' I don't care if you knew Senator Kelly, you're not going in!"
"But we do know him," Remy pointed out.
"But we're all over 21! You've got to let us in!" Wanda tried again.
"No!" The bouncer said sternly.
"Please?" Rogue said, looking up at him with big eyes. "It's mah birthday, and mah boyfriend an' best friend here were plannin' on goin', it's a special night, an' Ah really wanna go in, because Ah don' have much longer ta live," Rogue said, throwing as much spice as she could on her story. "The doctah says only about a month. Please?"
"No," The bouncer said. Rogue walked up to him and draped her arms around him and got real close to his face. The bouncer got a little flustered, not knowing what to do with Rogue.
"Please," She whispered, their lips centimeters apart. "An' Ah'm not wearin' underwear."
"Get the fuck off me dirty mutie!" The bouncer pushed Rogue off him to the ground, and pulled a gun out of his shirt and pointed it at Rogue, cocking the gun. "Touch me again and I'll help you reach an early grave!" From the look on his face, he was serious. Remy panicked, he ran to Rogue and helped her up as she clung to him protectively. She had dealt with death threats in high school, but now here, in the outside world, from a man she didn't even know, when all she wanted to do was go to a club, this was too much.
"Let's get out of here," Wanda said urgently, as she and Remy, and Rogue, still clutching to Remy's trench coat left.
"Yeah! And if I see you here again, I'll kill all of you!" The bouncer threatened as they left.
"Oh my god!" Wanda yelled, once they had ducked behind an alley. A dark alley. Wow. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"
"Ah'm fine," Rogue said, "Ah've dealt with this stuff before."
"Yes, but never in a good way. Here, let's just go out and get something to eat," Wanda said, smiling comfortingly at Rogue. Cue big sister and big brother mode. "And Remy will even pay!"
"Yeah, Remy wi—Hey! Dat was mean!" Remy sputtered.
"Well, since ya'll offered..." Rogue said.
"Come on, I know the perfect place," Wanda smiled.
"Last time y' said dat, we wound up here," Remy pointed out.
"yes, but this time, I promise, we'll be served." Wanda promised.
"Oui, we got served," Remy said, sitting in the cold hard plastic of the McDonalds booth. "Served deep fried in fat food," He lazily dragged his fry through ketchup and popped it in his mouth.
"Ya know, tha only reason they're open here is because its fer tha people with munchies," Rogue pointed out, slurping her shake.
"So? When you live with the Brotherhood for as long as I have, you eat McDonalds just a bout every other night. This is quality food!"
"Yeah, yeah," Rogue sighed. "Listen, Ah've gotta go ta tha bathroom, Ah'll be out in a second," Rogue then stood up and slinked off to the bathroom.
"So," Wanda said, checking to make sure that Rogue was gone. "What do you think of Rogue?"
"What?" Remy sputtered. "I've got a girlfriend!"
"So? There used to be something between you two. So, that always means there could be another something..." Remy looked at Wanda like she was crazy. "You know what I mean! So, do you like her or not?"
"I like 'er as a friend," Remy said. "Nothin' more."
"But if you had to," Wanda said. "Would you go out with her?"
"Yes," Remy said, sighing.
"I think she likes you."
"I know she likes me!" Remy said, surprising Wanda. "I'm an empathy! I can tell dese t'ings."
"Didn't you used to like her too?"
"Oui, I did. But dat was b'fore I found out dat she was six years younger den me."
"Well, it's legal now," Wanda pointed out.
"Yes, it's legal, but dat don't mean it's not right. She's like mon little sister."
"And by saying that, you're breaking her heart. Remy, Rogue is one of my best friends, so I care about her well being. I don't like her being broken slowly from the inside. She once broke all the way, and that took some time for the glue to dry, but now, she's cracking again," Wanda said wisely. Remy sighed.
"But I'm in love wit Betsy!" He protested.
"Betsy is all over the place," Wanda said, frowning. "She's a whore. Did you know that she and Allison planned it so Rogue would walk in on you two? Just to make her feel bad?"
"How did y' find all dis out?" Remy asked, frowning.
"Before I came up to Rogue's room, Tessa pulled me aside. Sage's really concerned for Rogue, as they're both pretty close. Jubilee and Kitty were there too. You can't let Betsy walk all over you and torture your best friend! It's not right! It's not human!" Remy sighed audibly. "Just think about it, okay?" Remy sighed again, and nodded. Luckily for him, the click of Rogue's boots were heared as she arrived back.
"Let's blow this pop stand," She said, sounding quite cheesy.
"Figurativly o' literally?" Remy questioned, reaching into his pockets.
"Figurativly, o' course," Rogue said. "Don' want McDonalds ta be anotha' place we're black listed from."
"How many are you guys on now?" Wanda questioned.
"Twenty five," Remy said. "Let's see... Dat's... De Zoo, Barnes an' Noble, de Starbucks in de Barnes an' Noble, de public library, it inn' so public anymore, Pizza Hut... I could go on an' on."
"Please, don't, and spare us all," Wanda said, heading towards the door, which Rogue and Remy followed her out of the McDonalds.
Just as they exited the scene, Wanda's cellphone rang. "Shit!" She exclaimed, reaching into her purse and flipped the phone up to her ear. "Hello... Oh, hey Johnny," She said into the phone. "It's Johnny," She addressed everyone else. "Me? Oh, you know, the usual. I'm just tormenting some innocent civilians... No! I'm outside McDonalds with Remy and Rogue. John says hi."
"Hi John," Rogue and Remy chorused.
"Yeah... Okay, I'll ask him..." Wanda then turned her back to them and whispered something into the phone. She then turned to Remy and put the phone to her shoulder to muffle her conversation. "Remy, John wants to know if you wanna go to the Brotherhood and hang out tonight."
"Sure, I'll just drop y' two lovely ladies off at de mansion an' den go straight dere." Remy nodded.
"Okay, he'll be there!" Wanda said triumphantly back into the phone. "Yes, I love you too.... Tomorrow!" She slammed the phone shut and re-located it into her purse. "So..." She said nodding as if nothing odd had happened. "Let's go then."
"Bye Remy!" The two girls chorused as Remy drove out of sight.
"So," Rogue said, looking at Wanda. "What did ya ask John on tha phone?"
"Oh... Just to ask Remy about you... You know... In case he thought of you in a romancical way."
"Ah hate ya!" Rogue said, starring, mouth agape at Wanda.
"No, you love me. You just don't know it yet. John's going to try to talk Remy out of Betsy, tell him why she's bad for him, and try to turn him to you. Plus, it's what the reviewers wanted," Wanda added as a bonus.
"What reviewers?" Rogue looked confused. [1]
"Oh... Just on my on-line journal."
"On line journal? Who are ya an' what have ya done with Wanda?" Rogue glared, looking at Wanda.
"It's a stupid thing Fred set me up with one day because he was bored. So, I've written the daily on-goings in my life for the past few years in there. I can't believe you didn't know that!" The two had now begun walking towards the doors.
"There's a lot of stuff you don't know about me," Wanda said, smilling.
1) That was for all of you guys! I knew you'd want a mentioning. And it's true, it's what you reviews wanted!
