Disclaimer- See chapter one's.
Summary- To Crystal's dismay, everywhere she goes, he always seems to be there also. And vice-versa.
Author's Note- I kinda got the idea for the waking up early thing from the story "Double Trouble" by todd fan. It's not exactly like it, just a very, very, minor part.
Chapter Two- Birthday Bash
"Up, up, up!" A familiar someone said in a singsong voice right next to Lance's ear. Lance scrunched up his face and turned his head slightly.
Pietro was shaking Lance's shoulder roughly, "C'mon Lance, it's my birthday. Get up. UP! Get UP! Upupupupup!"
Lance slowly opened his puffy eyes and blinked a couple of times to adjust his eyesight. He looked at the digital clock on his nightstand.
"Pietro," he said groggily, "It's three in the morning!"
"Yeah," Pietro said absently, "I beat Wanda. Wherearemypresents?"
"Huh?" Lance said, too tired to decipher Pietro's hyper talk.
"Where. Are. Mypresents?" Pietro repeated, having a hard time trying to talk slower.
"Can't it wait till later?" Lance moaned, closing his eyes.
Pietro slapped him in the face. "Wake UP! NO it CAN'T wait! It's my BIRTHDAY! Wherearemypresents? Hurry up, time's a wasting!"
Lance sat up and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He rubbed his face with his hand wearily and took a few moments to do anything else. He was only wearing a T-shirt and boxers, but Pietro was just another guy so it didn't matter.
"Lance! I don't have all day! Comeoncomeon!" Pietro demanded, snapping his fingers twice in Lance's face.
Lance slapped Pietro's hand away and glared at the speedster.
Lance slowly got up; so slow for Pietro that he started to make short erratic whimpers almost like a dog's from being so darn impatient.
"Don't get your panties tied in a not, Pietro," Lance smirked, stopping at his closet door. He dropped to his knees and started rummaging around looking for the gifts.
"Well, I don't have to worry about that, do I? Since I don't wear panties but I don't know if I could say the same for you," Pietro sneered.
Lance was too tired to figure out what the comment meant at that moment. He found a small package wrapped in the plastic bag it came in. He tossed it over his shoulder.
"Here," he grunted.
"Lance! What if it's breakable?!" Pietro exclaimed, using his super speed to catch it. He hastily ripped apart the bag (although it would have been easier if he just used the opening) and saw a black pen inside.
"What the fuck is this?" Pietro said in disbelief. "You get me some cheapo pen after-O o o o!"
Pietro's eyes widened as he kept tilting the pen slightly to the right and then to the left.
"This is the BEST pen EVER!" Pietro laughed excitedly, giggling every time he moved the pen.
"Clothes go off, clothes back on, clothes go off, back on, clothes off, on, offonoffonoffonoffon," he shrieked with laughter, "Off. Heeheeonoffheeonheheoff." [1]
Lance looked over his shoulder at the excited speed demon and smirked. "You do have more you know."
Pietro walked over to stand beside Lance, his eyes never leaving the pen. Occasionally, he let out a shrill giggle.
Lance finally found the last present, also in the plastic bag it came in.
"Here," he said holding it behind him for Pietro to grab. Pietro swiped the back out of Lance's hand. He put the pen in his jeans pocket, patting it fondly.
He ripped the presents from the bag. It had contained a calendar where the beautiful supermodel women pose topless and a dirty magazine. This was all stuff that Pietro could buy by himself, but they really needed to pay the bills so presents and stuff were cheap.
"Oh, Hugh Hefner, how I envy you," Pietro said as he flipped through the pages of the magazine slowly. His jaw dropped, "Homina, homina. . ."
"I think Hugh Hefner has the right idea," Pietro said to Lance, regretfully tearing his eyes away from the naughty pictures. "I mean having seven girlfriends has to be great. I mean, seven gorgeous, hot, sexy, women. Sweaty. . . tight white t-shirts. . . wet t-shirts. . . no bra. . .wet t- shirt. . .white. . .no bra. . ." He could not continue because he was having graphic pictures in his head. Pervert.
"I dunno, the girlfriends might get jealous. I think one girlfriend's fine," Lance shrugged and got up clumsily and started walking back to his bed.
Pietro made a face. "Please, Lance, I doubt you and Pryde didn't even do 'it' yet and you've been on and off for years."
"We're just not ready yet," Lance defended himself, sliding under the covers.
Pietro shook his head. "I don't understand why people do that. I mean, how boring would it be to have sex with only one woman for the rest of your life? And then they get all old and wrinkly and. . . Ah! Ah!" He started pounding his head with his fist.
Lance rolled his eyes as he beat his pillow with his fist, "Yeah, and we all know old and wrinkly women is the one thing that makes you horny. Now get OUT of here and let me sleep!"
Pietro decided to let that comment slide, for now. He smirked, "Fine, have a good whole fifteen minutes of sleep before Wanda comes bursting in here demanding for her presents."
"Hmph," came the muffled reply.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Pietro and Wanda were sitting side by side at the head of the small and slightly rectangular table. In front of them was the cake they ordered with two candles; one was a two and the other was a one. Wanda tried to keep a scowl on her face but found she couldn't because the corner of her mouth kept twitching. Pietro was fidgeting in his chair, truly not able to keep himself still for more than three seconds.
Surrounding the cake were cans of beer, and some soda cans for Todd. Although Todd begged and begged and begged to have some of the beer, Pietro laughed and said he was too young. Todd argued, saying that he had some before and so had Pietro before he came of age, but Pietro still laughed.
Pietro had received about seven bags of Pixie Stix, and two coupons for them (buy any Wonka candy and get another two free!), from Todd; from Freddy he got another naughty magazine, a different one from Playboy though. From Wanda he got a $100 gift card for Abercrombie and Fitch, since he liked good looking and expensive clothes. She had to get him something expensive; he was after all, her twin.
The rest were singing 'Happy Birthday' to the twins, although Lance was singing it so quietly that they could barely hear him. Todd had attempted to give Wanda a 'Birthday Hug' but to no avail, and found himself sliding down the wall for probably the 151st time in a year.
When they finished they both went to blow out the candle, but Pietro released his breath too early and winded up blowing both of them out.
"Pietro! We were supposed to blow them out together!" Wanda snarled and shoved Pietro forcefully from his chair, knocking him to the floor.
She jumped on top of him and started hitting him hard and saying, "You're such a prick! Can't you stop being an arrogant asshole for just ONE day?!"
Pietro tried to squirm away from her. "Wanda stop! Ow! Stop! StopstopOWstop! I didn't mean to! You were countingowtooOWowslow! OW! Would you stop hitting me?"
Wanda stopped and glared at him. "Your present better be good. Where is it?"
Pietro pushed her off and rubbed his sore spots. "I'm being nice and taking you to a nice fancy restaurant, happy?"
She was still scowling at him, "They better have good food."
"Well, they do."
"Fine, let's have cake then," Wanda said and she got off of Pietro and held out her hand for him. He grabbed it and she helped him up.
They then fought over of who gets to cut the cake first. Finally, they compromised and they each cut a piece from their own side of the cake.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Pietro and Wanda entered the expensive restaurant that they clearly looked out of place of.
They walked over to the Maitre de. He looked up.
"Maximoff. I had reservations for 7:00?" Pietro said impatiently.
"Yes sir," the Maitre de said. He grabbed two menus and led them to a section of the restaurant.
He handed them their menus. "The waiter will be here soon, sir."
Wanda was skimming the menus. "The filet mignon looks good," she said, striking up a conversation.
"Mmm hmm," Pietro grunted, narrowing his eyes at the menu. In the author's opinion, he looks very hot right now. But when does he not? "You going to get that?"
Wanda cocked her head just a little, "Yeah, why not? Get some whine too."
"Yeah, yeah."
"I'm sorry I called you an asshole today. This is very nice of you," Wanda said softly, but not really. Mediumly?
"S' okay," he grunted turning a section of the menu over. "What kind of whine you want?"
"It doesn't matter."
"This one?" he asked pointing to one of the selections of whine they had on the menu and showing it to Wanda.
"That's four hundred dollars. Where the hell are you getting all this money?" Wanda asked incredulously.
Pietro smirked, his blue eyes looking at her mischievously. He said to her in an undertone, "One of the old Acolytes is a thief. He let me borrow this," he reached into his back pocket and got out a wallet. He pulled out a blue credit card. He handed it to her
"Oh, I see now, Mr. Summers," Wanda laughed, handing it back. Pietro thought it was good to see her laugh. It almost made him smile, but he didn't. He hadn't had a real reason to smile in a long time. He just smirks. Smirk, smirk, smirk.
The waiter came up to them then. "Would you like to order anything, Sir and Madam?"
"Get us salads and soups, but nothing with mushrooms, and jalapeno poppers. You got those? Really? Okay then. And we want that wine." Pietro said, pointing to each of the things on the menu.
"I need to see your ID before we give you wine. Sorry, but you seem awfully young," the waiter said.
Pietro sighed irritably as he showed him his driver's license. How in the world he got a driver's license, nobody knows. Wanda showed the waiter hers also.
The waiter left as others came and started pouring them their wine.
Pietro drummed his fingers at an abnormal rate until Wanda told him to stop it. Fifteen minutes had passed and the waiters started coming and setting the appetizers on the table.
They then started eating occasionally speaking. The waiter came up to them again nearly ten minutes later.
"Are you ready to order?" he asked them.
"I want BBQ ribs. Give me two whole racks," Pietro said.
The waiter raised his eyebrows, "Sir, one rack is quite large-"
"I want two whole racks," Pietro said firmly.
The waiter sighed and nodded and then turned to Wanda.
"I want the filet mignon," she said and glared at him as if he was about to object to what she wanted to eat too.
"Hey Maximoff!" shouted a snobby and familiar voice.
Both Maximoffs raised their heads and turned to the sound of the voice.
It was Duncan Matthews (dun dun dunnn!).
Pietro glared at him scathingly (can you do that?). Wanda glared at him too. She never went to Bayville High because she was too busy trying to kill her father and seriously hurt her brother (her own twin!), but she really doesn't need to know that right now. She knew Duncan from the boys, and they never spoke highly of him. In fact, they really want him to rot in Hell, but that just isn't happening right now because everybody wants him too and then they'll all be happy so that's why he isn't.
"Who's your hottie?" He catcalled. He should be embarrassed because he's calling across the restaurant surrounded by rich people and he had a date with him.
It was her!
Pietro's eyes widened when he saw her. The sadistic bitch was there! With MATTHEWS!
Pietro actually did think she was hot. She had a delicate face with perfect- set cheekbones, and the perfect eyebrows and the perfect lashes and the perfect hair. She's perfect, you get the idea.
"Matthews you shut your mouth," Wanda threatened. She's a very threatening person, as you can see.
Duncan got up, smirking (it doesn't work quite as well with him as it does with Pietro and Gambit) and he grabbed the sadistic bitch by the arm and dragged her over to their table.
Duncan pulled two chairs away from an empty table and set them at their table. It was a really rude thing to do in a fancy restaurant. It was sort of Blues Brotherish. But not really.
"Duncan, for pity's sake, they're siblings!" the girl said, scowling at Matthews.
"How do you know?" Duncan asked in surprise, turning to the sadistic bitch.
"Because they were buying their birthday cake in the store," she snapped.
"You're twins?" he turned to them.
"Just get away from us, Matthews," Pietro seethed.
"So you must be a mutie too," Duncan said to Wanda. He looked like he was about to laugh.
"So what if I am?" she snarled. Her hands started to show their blue energy.
Duncan stood up, pointed to them and shouted, "Mutie freaks! Mutie freaks!" he pointed to Pietro, "This one can steel all of your money without you seeing him! We should get them!"
The men started to stand up, and some people started screaming. Duncan's date looked embarrassed and ashamed.
Wanda was really pissed off and dinners and chairs were starting to float around the room.
"No Wanda!" Pietro warned, and he scooped his sister up and in a second, there was a huge gust of wind and they were gone.
