A/N: I was just about to post this when I received a couple of reviews. Thank you! I'll work on improving Star more in the next chapter. I never meant for her to be a Mary Sue, but I guess she's coming off as one. (Plus, sorry for there not being a lot of Romy. I'm a fan, but I don't want to screw it up too bad. Maybe I'll get brave in a future chapter.) Thanks again!
A/N: I'm not good at writing accents, so please forgive me. Also, I'm a fan of Kitty/Piotr but writing Kitty/Lance seemed to be easier.
Disclaimer: Still don't own 'em…only Star.

The party was in full swing. Scott and Jean had even shown up. Jamie had been made the official DJ, to help make sure he stayed away from the drinks. Rahne and Roberto were crowed cutest couple early on, and were now in a quiet corner making-out. Tabitha was keeping Ray busy. Jubilee was at Bobby's side. Remy was charming Rogue. Kurt and Wanda were hitting it off real well. A few even made the comment that they had never seen her smile so much. Pietro somehow got a hold of some Pixy Stixs and was racing around unable to hold still for very long. The ratio of girls to guys was a bit disappointing for the singles. Piotr was pining over Kitty as he watched her with Lance. Todd was miffed about Wanda and Kurt. The others were just dancing and having fun.
Star had really let herself get lost in the music. She and Tabby had put on quit a show earlier. They had the moves and when they danced the guys watched. Well, the ones who weren't busy with their girlfriends. Tabby and Ray were all over each other soon after. Star danced for awhile longer before disappearing.
"Would you two stop catching stuff on fire?!" Lance was yelling at John and Amara. They had found companions in each other, and after a few drinks started to entertain themselves with their powers. An armchair had already been lost, and if it hadn't been for Rogue and Remy sitting on the couch it would have most likely been next.
"Um…Pietro?" Wanda looked over at her brother. Kurt started to laugh. "Why do you have boxers on your head?"
On top of his platinum haired head was a pair of blue boxers with little yellow rubber ducks printed all over it. He didn't answer, just zoomed off.
"I think he's had enough," Kurt took the cup that had been Peitro's and put it out of reach incase he came back.
"That's it! If you two don't stop-" Lance could be heard yelling.
Amara and John were at it again.
"What's the elf got that I don't got?" Todd and Piotr were sitting to the side drinking.
"Blue fur and a tail,"
"Who wouldn't want us?"
"Kitty and Wanda,"

"Hiding Cherie?" Remy walked into the kitchen. The lights were off and Star was leaning against the counter sipping on a daiquiri.
"Need a refill?" she noticed the two empty cups in his hands. He set them down and she mixed the drinks for him. "How's it going with Rogue?"
"She starting to relax more,"
"Y'all are good together,"
"What about you? Got your eye on anyone in particular tonight?"
"Of course not,"
"Remy thinks the Cherie's scared,"
"The Cherie thinks Remy better watch himself,"
"Every relationship you've been in you've found some reason to get out of it before the other person could,"
"Not every relationship,"
"The most resent ones," he picked up one of the cups and took a drink. "Remy remember you really liking Peitro,"
"I still care for Speedy, but a romantic relationship with him would have never lasted long term,"
"How would you know if one would last or not? I'm not saying you should get back together with him, just that you shouldn't give up hope so easily."
She took a drink. "You should probably get back. Rogue's waiting on that refill."
He picked up the other cup and sighed. "You were having fun earlier. Do Remy a favor and try to have some more."
He left and she took the 'have some more' part to heart and poured herself another daiquiri.
"I'm sure that's not what he meant, but it'll work."

"Hey Bobby," Sam walked over to him and Jubes. "Have either one of you seen Star?"
"Not since the two of you were dancing,"
"Maybe she's with Peitro,"
"No he's running around with Lance's underwear on his head,"
"That sound's like something Star would be trying to get a picture of,"
"Jamie's got her camera,"
"Sorry," the two shrugged and went back to dancing.
Between the couples love-fest, the singles acting crazy, and Star being no where around, Sam decided to go outside to get some air. It was November and there was a cold breeze blowing. He hadn't grabbed a jacket, so he shoved his hands in his packets and pulled his arms in close.
"Hey Sammy," Star was sitting on top of a picnic table. She was wearing a short-sleeve low-cut blouse and a skirt, but didn't act like she was cold at all. He walked over and took a set next to her.
"You disappeared,"
"I was in the house till a few minutes ago," she said, daiquiri still in hand.
"If you want I can get ya a coat," he offered nicely.
She smiled. "I'm fine, but if you need one my trench coat's down there." She pointed behind them to the bench seat. He shook his head. "I brought it incase I decided to sleep out here."
"It might be safer than sleeping in there."
They could hear the smoke alarm going off and Lance yelling. The ground was even shaking a little from him losing his temper. Pietro zoomed out.
"You-guys-are-missing-a-great-show!" he quickly said before zipping back in.
"Were those the shorts I bought Lance for his birthday?"
"Yup,"
"I hope Jamie got a picture of that." She took another drink.

A/N: The party's going and everything is set for Sam or Star to make a move. Not sure where everything is heading though. The conversation between Remy and Star is to show that they are good friends and to hint that he might know her a little better than anyone else seems to and that she has a past of being depressed. (People are thinking I'm nuts and I probably am.) I just wanted to develop the character a little more. (Probably didn't do a good job at it.)
Like always thanks for reading and please review!
