Shout Outs-
Exile1- I've always liked Rahne too! Who do you think my penname is the Uncanny RahneMan? Rahne is so cute/hot/whatever that you just want to hug her 'til she pops! Doug too, but in a non-gay way...
Darlin- Yeah, I know, my spelling sucks. But at least you liked the story! I'm a sucker for fluff!
Risty- Damn! I've over done it with another catchphrase! It pissed me off when they killed off Doug! Why does Marvel always kill off cool characters? (e.g.- Psylocke, Skin, Beast in Ultimate X-men, uh...Pete Wisdom... Oh wait, he isn't dead! I have proof!)
Lia Fail- I've always had a soft spot for retro Rahne. It's a pity that they didn't keep her accent when she came back recently. Without it she's just another hot redhead!
Dark Jaded Rose- You liked it? Good! Warlock really did talk like that (Self, Self friends, etc) before he became Douglock and learnt to speak normally. Here's your update! {Slap on butt}
Author's Note-
'BLAH'- Speech

Quote of the day- 'You're good, baby, I'll give you that. But me, I'm magic!'- Bullseye (Daredevil the movie, or alternatively the issue of Daredevil where he kills Elektra!)
The next morning-
All of the New Mutants, except for Doug, are sat at the breakfast table. Kitty, Lockheed, Rachel and Kurt are there too. The little purple dragon is trying to steal Kitty's breakfast.
'Lockheed! Stop it! It's not like you're underfed or anything!' She grabs her dragon and past his belly. 'As a matter of fact, I think you're overfed!'
Lockheed just sticks his tongue out at Kitty and flies out of the door, passing Doug and Warlock on the way.
'Mornin' Dougie!' Kitty grins.
'Mornin' Kitty.' Doug sighs.
Kitty notices her friend's unusually depressed face.
'Why the long face Doug?'
Doug grabs a bowl and a box of cereal. He takes the only vacant space and coincidence of coincidences, it's right next to Rahne! The young Scots Wolfgirl shifts over so Doug can sit down.
'I didn't get much sleep last night, is all.'
Doug chews on his cereal half-heartedly, repeating his memories of last night.
{Great! I came onto Rahne too fast and she's too scared to even look at me!}
Rahne finishes her breakfast and puts her bowl, puts her plate in the sink and makes her excuses and leaves.
'I wonder what got into her?' Roberto asks.
'I'll go see what's up.' Dani says.
Rahne's room-
Rahne slumps onto her bed and stares up at her ceiling.
{Ach! Why am I feelin' like this? When Dougie kissed me it was... it was like... magic! I like him but... Why did I run away? It isnae if kissing is wrong! Scott an' Maddie kiss all the time an' they're nae evil! I bet Doug doesnae even like me any more after I ran! Why would he like a wee slip of a girl like me when he can have more attractive girls like Illyana or Amara? I'm plain but they're... beautiful!}
Rahne gets up off her bed and walks over to her dresser. She sits down and looks at her reflection.
{Look at me! I look like a boy! I cannae even grow my hair properly! Amara and Illyana have long golden hair, why cannae I be like them?}
Rahne is broken out of her musing as Dani knocks on her door.
'Rahne? Is it alright if I can come in?'
'It's yuir room too!' Rahne answers.
Dani walks in and sits on the edge of Rahne's bed.
'What was all that about Rahne?' Dani asks.
'I dinnae know what ye mean.' Rahne replies.
'You know what I'm talking about Furtop!' Dani answers. 'Why did you walk out of the kitchen as soon as Doug walked in?'
'It hasnae got anything tae do wi' ye!'
'C'mon Rahne.' Dani says. 'I'm your friend, you can tell me!'
'It's between me an' Doug!'
'Something went on after we all went to bed, didn't it? When we left you and Doug alone in the rec room?'
Rahne just stays tight-lipped and stares at her reflection in the mirror.
'Alright.' Dani says. 'If you won't tell me what happened, I'll find out myself!'
'Dani, no!' Rahne begs.
Too late, Dani uses her powers to peer into Rahne's mind to find out what happened. Her eyes pop open in realisation.
'Doug kissed you!'
Rahne covers her face with her hands in shame. Dani sees this and kneels down beside her.
'Hey, there's no need to be scared, it was only a little kiss!'
'It wasnae the fact that he kissed me!' Rahne sobbed. 'It was the way I reacted! My thoughts were... sinful!'
'So you ran?'
'Aye! Doug doesnae even wantae be around me any more!'
'Rahne, listen to me, just because Doug made your heart beat a little faster than usual, it doesn't make you an evil person. Heck, I get that way any time I watch Pirates of the Caribbean and see Johnny Depp! Does that make me evil?'
'Nae.' Rahne sighs.
'So you cheer up and go and talk to Doug!' Dani says. Go and talk to him, I'm sure that he'll understand your feelings!'
Later-
Doug is walking through the garden. He kicks at an imaginary pebble, as he is lost in thought.
{Stupid, stupid, stupid! The one girl that I liked and I go and blow it by kissing her! Gah! Rahne's such a sweet girl, why did I push it?}
Doug's thoughts are interrupted as he hears somebody behind him. He turns around and sees that Warlock is standing there.
'Query: Is Self Friend Doug upset?' Warlock asks.
'It's kinda personal 'Lock.' Doug replies, sitting down on a bench.
'Is Self correct in guessing that Self Friend's ponderings are centred on Self Friend Rahne?'
'You're not as naïve as you're made out to be, are you?' Doug asks.
'Self does not understand.' Warlock answers.
'It isn't important.' Doug sighs.
Warlock is about to continue when his sensors pick up someone approaching.
'Self friend Doug wishes to be alone.' He says. 'So self will depart.' With that, Warlock morphs into a spider and climbs up the wall, leaving Doug to continue brooding over his actions.
'Doug, can I talk to ye f'r a second?' A voice asks behind him.
Doug turns around and sees Rahne standing behind him.
'Only if I can talk to you first.' Doug replies.
'Alright.' Rahne says, sitting down beside Doug. 'Ye go first.'
'I just want to apologise for kissing you like that.' Doug begins. 'I understand that you're not used to stuff like that so I'll understand if you don't want to be around me anymore.'
'I wouldnae ever stop likin' ye!' Rahne replies. 'Yuir one o' my best friends! Is somebody's going tae apologise, I had better be me! I wantae apologise for running out on ye like that.'
Doug takes Rahne's hand in his and smiles at her.
'There's no need to apologise Furtop! I like you so much that the only reaction my brain could think of was kissing you!'
Rahne moves away from Doug's touch.
'But why would ye wantae kiss me?' She asks. 'Why not Illyana or Amara? They're much more prettier than me!'
Doug places his hands on Rahne's shoulders and looks into her eyes.
'Rahne, I'm not interested in Illyana, or Amara, I like you. Not anyone else, just you!'
A shy smile spreads across Rahne's face as Doug's feelings dawn on her.
'T-that's th' sweetest thing anybody's ever said tae me! Thankye!'
'We're cool right?' Doug asks.
'Aye.' Rahne replies. 'Umm, Doug...'
'Yeah?'
'I hope ye dinnae think that I'm being tae forward but I really liked it when ye kissed me so... can we do it again?'
Doug doesn't reply, he just leans closer and cups Rahne's chin in his hands and kisses her on the lips. Once again Rahne's senses go loopy at the feeling of Doug's lips upon hers, but instead of pulling away, she nervously puts her arms around his waist and returns the kiss.
END...
NEXT: Rahne and Doug are about to go on their first date but first Rahne needs some help. Will a certain Russian demon sorceress be able to help her? Tune in at the same Rahne time on the same Rahne channel to find out!
