"Yo Cyke!" Tabby stood outside the Xavier Institute, staring up at an angry mutant.
"What do you want?" Scott glared at her. "You live over there, in case you forgot."
"Looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed!" Tabby exclaimed, not exactly helping the situation. Scott slammed the door in her face. "Some people!" she muttered. "How rude!" Before ringing the doorbell again, several times. When Scott opened it again, she was ready. "I'm here to see Rogue and Kitty, so let me in!" She rushed, preventing the door from closing with her foot.
"For the last time N-" Scott was cut off as Kitty started down the staircase and spotted the older mutant interrogating her friend.
"Like Tabby!" she raced down the stairs. "You can, like, let her in now Scott." Scott sighed, defeated and left the two girls.
"Thank God you came!" Tabby greeted her friend. "Mr. Military was about to kill me! Besides, I have something to talk to you about." Kitty grinned.
"So, like wanna go up to our room?" Kitty asked, nodding up the stairs. "You can wait up there with Rogue. I'll go get some snacks, then we can talk." Then she raced off towards the kitchen, Tabby shrugged and walked upstairs. When she reached their door, she noticed that a phone lay outside it, ringing madly, and that the door was locked with a 'masterlock'. Boom-Boom grinned as she created a small ball that would create a big explosion. She fit it in the lock quietly and backed down the hall. As the lock exploded there was a startled yelp from inside. The door opened and Rogue peeked out cautiously. When she spotted the other girl, she sighed.
"Aren't ya gonna pick up the phone?" Tabby indicated towards the still-ringing phone. Rogue glared at her and picked it up. Tabby jumped backwards at the angry mutant's shout.
"STOP CALLING ME SWAMP RAT!" Rogue slammed the phone back on the receiver. She turned towards Tabby. "He keeps calling me! It's getting annoying!" Her face was already turning back into its pale self, a sure sign that she was calming down. Judging by how violent she had just been it was a little more than "getting annoying". At that moment Kitty tromped into the hallway laden with chips and chocolate.
"Like, you guys were waiting for me. That is, like, so nice!" Kitty beamed, oblivious to the startled look on Tabby's face. The girls all piled into the room and started to munch.
"So," Rogue stared suspiciously at Tabby. "What do you need to talk about?" Tabby tried to look innocent.
"Oh, you know just the usual. Clothes, music, crushes, the boy in all your dreams and fantasies, and what is important in a guy." She tried to speak nonchalantly.
"The boys in our dreams and fantasies?" Rogue raised her eyebrows doubtfully.
"Aw, come on," Kitty and Tabby begged the pale mutant. "It sounds fun!" Kitty added. Rogue sighed, and nodded her head in submission. Kitty squealed.
"Alright," Tabby decided to start right away, and immediately felt like she was teaching the boys again. "List the traits that your dream boy would have." She commanded and handed them each a piece of paper and a pencil.
"Tabby!" looking up the blonde mutant saw Kitty pouting at her. "You have to do it too!" Tabby sighed and grabbed a paper and pencil for herself. After a few minutes of scribbling, the three sat up, satisfied with their lists.
"Now we get to read them aloud," Tabby giggled, anxious to see if Kurt and Remy could fit the descriptions. She was let down when Kitty read her list.
" Nice, sweet, hot, smart, romantic, cute, likes everything I like, will do anything for me, handsome, buys me stuff, has a car, funny, good-looking." Kitty looked up at her friends shocked and amused faces.
"You sure know a lot of synonyms for the word cute, Kitty," Rogue laughed. "But I think the point was to think of a person that could be real." Kitty looked sulkily at her.
"Well, let's hear your list, Rogue," Kitty shot back at the smirking mutant. As the smirk slid off her face Rogue, blushed and began to read her list quickly.
"Nice, understanding, smart, has things in common with me."
"And it would probably help if he was cute," it was Kitty's turn to smirk. " Or if he had a Cajun accent." Rogue opened her mouth and threw a (you guessed it!) pillow at her. "Hey!"
"Take that! And that!" This evolved into a raging pillow war, with Tabby to help whoever she wanted, whenever she wanted.

The three girls lay under a pile of feathers. When three pillows collide and burst, they make a surprising amount of feathers.
"Hey!" Rogue cried. Kitty looked at her a questioning look on her tired face. "Tabby, you never read us your list!" She grinned maniacally. Kitty sat up suddenly.
"Yeah!"
"Okay," Tabby searched beneath the feathers for a few seconds, before finding her list. "Funny, cute, witty, teases." Kitty and Rogue exchanged a quick glance, before turning on their friend.
"You know that sounds like a certain fast-talking mutant," Rogue smiled at Tabby.
"Do you have a crush on Pietro?" Kitty scrutinized the blonde's face.
"What? No!" Tabby yelled, completely caught off guard.
"Alright," Rogue looked away obviously not convinced or satisfied.
"Okay, umm," Tabby looked wildly around eager to change the subject, and then remembered her mission. "What is you're favorite movie?"
"What?" Kitty shook her head surprised by the question. "Well, umm, probably 'The Sound of Music'." Judging by the strange looks her friends were giving her, it wasn't what they would have expected. "Because there's this great happy ending and everybody runs around singing, and there are all these guys with accents in them. I love guys with accents." Kitty's voice turned from defensive to dreamy.
"Could we be dreaming of another man, or demon, who has an accent perhaps?" Rogue nudged Kitty, and winked. Kitty looked terrified, and then angry. Tabby just sat there, watching the two of them. This was going to be easier than she thought!
"What's your favorite movie, Miss-know-it-all?" Kitty asked, sassily.
"Mine's, umm, mine's 'Mononoke-hime'" Kitty's blank look made Rogue continue. " It's a Japanese movie, anime, its American title is 'Princess Mononoke'."
"Oh! I remember that movie! It was kind of gross, wasn't it?" Kitty asked. Rogue rolled her eyes.
"And what was your favorite movie, Boom-Boom?" Rogue turned her attention to Tabby. After considering for a moment she replied.
"'Coyote Ugly'." The other two nodded. "And one last question!" Tabby cried. "Or two! Possibly even three!" She added dramatically. "First, who's your favorite band?"
"Ateens!" Kitty squealed.
" Led Zeppelin," Rogue declared.
"And The Tubes," Tabby nodded. "Now, what is a trait that you like in.." she pretended to think, then nodded towards Kitty. "Kurt," then nodded to Rogue "Remy." The two girls stared at her, never having had as strange a meeting with the blonde, but then, this was Tabby.
"Remy is…persistent," Rogue decided, motioning at the door, where the dampened ring of the phone could still be heard.
"And Kurt is…funny! And kind of cute, too." Kitty said to the other two. Rogue sniggered, but Tabby elbowed her in the ribs. She didn't want Kitty to stop talking to the demon because Rogue had insisted that she liked him.
"Well, then I really must be going!" Tabby jumped up quickly. "Got some business at home to attend to!" With that she had disappeared out the door.
"Business to attend to?" Kitty looked skeptically at Rogue. Tabby had business?
"There's no doubt about it," Rogue agreed. "That girl is up to something."
