Pietro quickly made his way to the kitchen and abruptly stopped as he reached the door. Taking a couple of deep breaths he went in. Seeing Rogue humming to herself as she did the dishes. "Hey."

She turned around and smiled. "Hey yerself." She looked at the object in his hand and groaned. "Ya know mebbe yer father should have some fashion sense. If a went out with that it looks like an ugly dog collar. Mebbe he would just take the chip an` insert it inta somethin` smaller."

He forced a smile. "I'll remember to mention it to him. Need some help?"

"Sure ya can start dryin` `em."

He nodded as he set the collar on the counter and walked over taking the towel off the rack and began to dry the dishes. "So.. How was your nap?"

"It was nahce. Ah feel completely refreshed ya know."

"Yea." He said.

******************************

"We can't." Piotr said sternly.

"There is no doubt that heard about it on the news mate." John said. "Maybe they can help."

"But da boss said chè re's new powers were permanent." Remy said shuffling through his new deck of cards.

"But how long do ya think we can take the Sheila being like this? All nice and sweet."

Piotr sighs in defeat. "He is right. If we can't get her memory back or be rid of her new powers we can at least get her attitude back."

"Mebbe she don` remember Remy dat well." The Cajun said under his breath with a small smile of hope.

******************************

Rogue glanced at Pietro who looked as if he was busy concentrating on drying one spot on the plate she had handed him nearly a minute or two ago. "Ya know if ya keep rubbin` that spot ya`ll wear a hole in it and it'll be yer plate."

"Oh sorry." He said sheepishly blushing slightly as he set the dry plate away.

"Ya okay Pietro? Yer mahnd seems at be missin` today."

"Nah I'm fine Roguey."

"Don` call me that." She said glaring.

"Okay Roguey." He said smiling.

"Yer so dead." She said pointing the hose at him and squeezed as warm water hit the shocked speed demon.

"Rogue!"

******************************

The three Acolyte's jumped as they heard Pietro's yell. Scrambling to their feet they hurried to the kitchen shocked at what was before their eyes.

"No stop!" Rogue laughed as Pietro had taken control of the hose. She tried to defend herself by splashing water that was in the sink at him only causing a bigger mess.

She ducked as he aimed the hose again as the water hit the three shocked males in the doorway. Both teens stopped and turned. "Oops."

"Ya know this means war." Remy said.

"But ah didn` get ya wet. It was Pietro." Rogue said in her defense.

"But you started it." Pietro said.

"Don't think it matters now." Piotr said as he grinned.

The war was on….
