Kitty Pryde leaped up from her bed to hug and congratulate her roommate and best friend Marie better known as Rogue.

"I'm so proud of you! You have a boyfriend. Who is he?"

Yup. All that gossiping and she doesn't even know his name. That's just Kitty, I guess.

Rogue was embarassed by the attention but she smiled. "His name's Remy LeBeau. And he's totally cute!"

Remy. Remy. Oh! Kitty's heart sank at the mention. She had liked – and still liked – Remy LeBeau! Problem:Rogue didn't know so how could she blame her?
Well…Remy asked Rogue out. So I guess that makes them a couple. Kitty thought. He likes her and will never like me so why can't I just forget about him? Even so, I mean, my best friend stole him from me! Not that he was ever mine in the first place.

Without further ado, Kitty got up and went to the bathroom where she thought about the news that had hit her like a bombshell. She had been so excited for her friend. Now she just felt mad at Rogue. Jealousy.

"Jean, ALEX! My brother. Coming. Here!" Scott was so excited he could barely restrain himself. His brother Havok – only called by the X-Men – never really liked his team and went off by himself. Scott sure missed him and was glad his best friend was coming back.

"Yeah. Um, okay." Jean replied, totally uninterested. "Wanna come with me for pizza tomorrow night?"

"Sure. Whatever. Sounds like fun." But secretly Scott thought that compared to Alex's visit it sounded like nothing.

"Pietro broke into the mansion yesterday and stole my makeup…"

But Jean's words were wasted. Scott was too excited to listen.

Remy bumped into Kitty on his way to math class.

"Hey! Rogue told me about. Your…the major flirt."

THE MAJOR FLIRT? How could Rogue tell him a thing like that?

"Yeah? Well, Rogue told me that she thinks you're cheating on her. And she feels pretty upset about that." Uh-oh.

Flashback "How could a cool guy like Remy like…me?" Rogue had wondered out loud.

She has a point. Kitty thought. Rogue is pretty but she's no Jean Grey. End Flashback.

Still, that meant she thought he was cheating on her, right?

Because if it didn't Kitty's could say goodbye to her LIFE! Rogue could get pretty rough when she wanted to. And she wanted to pretty often.

Alex arrived, dressed all in black and talked like a rap singer.

"Heyyyyyyyyy all you people in here."

All the girls – sadly including Jean Grey – practically swooned over him. God, he was cute!

Scott stared at his so called girlfriend. "Jean?"

"What?" she said offended. "I'm just going with the flow!"

Well, if you call drooling over my brother going with the flow then yeah. Scott thought bitterly.

Two Days Later

Prof Xavier came into Scott and Alex's room. "Scott, there is a mission I want you to do but – if there is a willing boy to do it instead…"

"I'd be happy to Mr. Xavier." Alex said, sweetly.

"Professor," he corrected, "I'm always happy with volunteers."

Two days ago Scott wished Alex never came.

An hour ago he wished Alex were never born.

Now he felt like killing him himself.
