"So, we gonna do this again?" Roberto asked, half teasing.

Sam kinda laughed and shook his head, although more at Roberto's eagerness than at the actual question. "Ah dunno. It was- Ah mean... Ah dunno."

They looked at each other in silence for another few seconds. Roberto smirked. Sam smiled shyly. He started leaning toward Roberto, but Roberto reached behind him and popped open the back door of Jean's SUV. Sam got nervous again.

[Why'm Ah doin' this?] he asked himself, climbing in nevertheless.

"Ah hope Jean's gettin' a nice view."

"I bet she is," Roberto said. "We're never going to hear the end of this."

Jean was in the arcade, having bummed a few quarters off of the guy behind the counter who kept leering at her breasts, and telling a few of the girls about what she'd telepathically found out in the parking lot. In a bit, John and Tabitha came out of the bathrooms and found the little group.

"Sunny's finally got himself a boy-toy?" Pyro asked. "Good fer 'im. Wait... in the back of your SUV, sheila? Hope they don't take off too much."

The girls paused to ponder that. Jean was out of quarters again, and now her SUV had been threatened. It was final. She had to go out to the parking lot and risk losing her pin ball machine.

Pyro and Tabitha chose to tag along, just to see the fun. The rest of the girls were too weirded out by the mere thought of two of their male friends... and... no. It was just too weird to think about, regardless that they kind of set the two up together.

Too bad for them, the show was not all that spectacular, anyway. Sam and Roberto were just kissing in the backseat. Neither was quite ready for more. They weren't even using a lot of tongue. Hell, they were barely even touching each other except at the mouth.

Roberto sighed inwardly and ran his hand up Sam's arm. Sam responded by tentatively rubbing his fingers along the other boy's chin and jaw. Both of them were going so slowly, being so careful.

"Aww!" Tabitha crooned.

John had taken out a small notebook and started taking notes. "You know, Alan is that kind of guy..." he mumbled to himself.

"Who's Alan?" Tabitha asked.

"Huh?" Pyro asked, jerked from his thoughts back into the real world. "Oh, uh, character of mine. Sorry, it's a writer thing."

"I always wondered what the notebook was for," Tabby grinned.

Sam and Roberto had broken their kiss at Tabitha's "aww." Sam could now truly be called a red neck, because he was blushing from the roots of his blond hair to the elastic top of his borrowed tube top. Roberto was an interesting shade of brownish-magenta. Neither one of them had any idea what they were supposed to say about being caught... or whatever the hell had just happened.

"Yeah," Pyro was continuing his explanation to Tabitha. "Picture boobs on Roberto."

Roberto went redder. Sam got out of the SUV.

Wanda was walking into Spencer's to find the beaded, glow-in-the-dark curtains she'd wanted. Mercifully, she'd managed to lose- alright, concuss- Todd along the way so that she didn't have to deal with him. When she entered the store, her eyes lit right away on Rogue and Remy (in drag!) having a semi-intelligent goth conversation.

"What the hell?!" Wanda shrieked, rather loudly, before busting out laughing. She had to lean against a shelf with sex toys on it to keep from collapsing on the floor.

Rogue and Remy watched as she pulled herself together enough to get out the second coherent statement. "Wh-what are you wearing?"

"Have ya noticed the othah Institute students in othah people's clothin'?" Rogue asked.

Wanda nodded.

"It's a bet," she continued. "A 'who's got it worse' kinda thing."

"Of...course," Wanda rolled her eyes. "Are you winning, at least?"

"Ah was, but then he figured out how ta walk in heels."

"Damn the man," Wanda said.

"Save de Empire," Remy added, finishing the quote.

Rogue smirked, just short of an actual smile. Remy had to feel proud.

Wanda cleared her throat. "So what are the rules of this challenge?"

The three of them spent the next five minutes throwing witty one-liners at each other until St. John and Tabitha came in, talking about his newest up-and-coming romance novel. &%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%

POST-A/N: sorry it's a short one. First week at UE, and I am majorly stressing and... it's kinda tough for me, so cut me some slack.
