It took a few moments for everything to pass through his head. He didn't really expect to see Rogue standing in the foyer of his house. Much less he didn't really think he'd see her kissing Pietro. Kissing Pietro? Lance shook his head and shoved his fingers through his shaggy hair. Looking back up he slowly turned towards Wanda, who was standing next to Toad, okay that was just weird. He needed air. He needed to get away from this. Not saying anything Lance picked up his bag and walked upstairs. Slamming his door shut.

"So what's the problem blue? You seem kinda, well blue." Tabitha asked as she jumped up onto his bed and laid down, using the headrest as a footstool. Her hair hung down off the side and she casually tossed an orange ball up and down as she looked towards Kurt who was sitting on the edge of the balcony from his window. Frowning when he didn't answer she slowly sat up and slowly tossed the orange ball his way.
-BOOM-
-BAMF-
"Try again later Boom Boom, I'm not in the mood." Kurt said softly as he leaned against the bedroom wall. He wasn't using his image inducer so Tabitha watched as he ran his three-fingered hand along his arm.
"Hey Blue, come on, you can tell me. I mean we're friends right?" Kurt sighed and looked over towards her. Walking over he turned his inducer on and sat next to her. He jerked away as Tabitha reached out and touched his arm. "No, I want you to leave it off. I like the real you anyway." She smiled and turned his inducer on. "I like seeing the fuzzy dude for his real self." Kurt managed a half smile.
"Okay. Well, I'm just, upset I guess is the word that you guys use."
"What do you mean?"
"Amanda and I broke up." Tabitha tried hiding the joy from her face. Kurt cared about Amanda so much it was scary to think about it sometimes. More repulsive for her because she knew how fake Amanda was but that was a totally different story. She held his hand and squeezed it tightly.
"What happened?"
"She told me," Kurt turned away from her and shut his eyes, "She told me that she was looking for a long-term deal and she didn't want some fuzzy blue elf freak in the picture." Tabitha squeezed harder. "And she said that she'd found someone that was a real, ow, hey Boom Boom, you're kinda hurting me." Tabitha quickly got up and let go of his hand.
"Oh sorry Kurt." Running her hands through her hair she turned back to him. "What'd you say?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing? Why didn't you stand up for yourself Kurt? You of all people I expected more from!" Tabitha exclaimed. Kurt shrunk back. Tabitha sighed and took a deep breath in. She really needed to calm down. "Dammit. I'm sorry Kurt. I didn't mean to say that. I just, she had no right to say that shit to you and, god you of all people should be the one she wants in her life."
"I think you've hit yourself with one too many bombs Boom Boom." Tabitha grinned.
"That only happened because you distracted me." She laughed softly and shook her head. "Anyways, any girl, in my opinion, should be happy to have the fuzzy blue elf freak on her side. Because listen to me Kurt." She took ahold of his face and moved closer to him. "You're one hell of a man." Before he could argue, she crushed her lips against his.

"What was Lance's problem yo?" Toad asked as he eyed the stairs warily. He didn't want to test them. One creek and who knows if Lance would send the house down into pieces or what he might've done.
"Who cares." Pietro replied, wrapping an arm around Rogue from behind resting his chin on her shoulder. "Besides that, he can deal with the fact that Roguey and I are a couple now. It's not like he hasn't tried anything with Kitty." Toad shrugged and turned towards the living room where Wanda was sitting comfortably on the couch.
"True." Just then the door opened up and Fred stumbled in, holding his boots in his hand.
"Hey Toad, where do you want these?" Toad looked towards Fred and grinned slowly.
"Left outside on the porch big guy." Rogue looked between Fred and Toad and couldn't help but smile. The two of them had always been close and now to see them getting along so well, "Thanks Freddy." Fred nodded and walked into the kitchen and emerged a few minutes later with a huge sandwich. As he sat down he motioned towards Wanda and she smiled, taking part of the sandwich.
They had turned into a happy family. without her.

"No way Kitty, it's not going to happen." Scott argued as he crossed his arms over his chest. Kitty glared up towards him and shook her head as she turned away from him.
"You like totally have no say in this Scott. I'm going out with Lance and that's the end of it! I mean it! You're not going to like follow us and you're so not going to say anything to him!" Kitty retorted.
"I can't let you go out with a guy like that!"
"Well it's not up to you is it bub?" Logan asked as he walked into the kitchen grabbing a coke. Where was the damn beer when you needed one? Scott's eyes widened.
"You're not serious are you Logan? Have you seen Lance Alvers?" Scott asked.
"As a matter of fact I have. In case you haven't noticed he was the one who chose to join us but felt it to hectic for him. So as far as me and the Professor go, he's a good guy. Now if you want to keep hasslin' the squirt here about her date I could just as easily ground you and not allow you to take Jean out." Scott stopped arguing enough to pale considerably.
"Fine. Whatever." Storming out of the room he glared towards Kitty. Kitty smiled and waved and as Scott stocked off she walked up to Logan.
"Thanks so much Mr. Logan! You're like totally the best! I could just, hug you!"
"Don't."
