RE-RE-RE-RE-REVIEWS!
Wow, so many and I'm so tired. But I'll still show my appreciation for those of you who stick by this story!
Rogue238- I totally knew that Bayville was a state. grins embarrasedly thanks for catching my mistake.
Toxic-Beetle - Thanks for the review! I'm trying to keep the story interesting.
Bbysail28: Thanks for the story compliments and the review.
Cat2fat900- Well, if the squirrles love you that much then that's great. Hope you find your flame thrower though! No one should have to go without theirs! I mean, i keep mine close, and smack the hand of anyone who tries to steal it. With the girls surprises, I talk about that at the end of the chapter, but other than that, i'm a little stuck. hope i can think of something good for you!
Fauna Greywolf- I love the Jean bashing too! It's so much fun to unleash your anger out on a character in a novel. I know, ending chapters in cliffies are so much fun to write and torture people, but so annoying when you have to read one.
Foxy-Glove-Don't worry, Remy's gonna love Rogue's bikini. I'll give you a hint/preview of Remy's surprise. You better beleive the bathing suit's gonna be involved! Horrible hint, i know.
Chica De Los Ojos Cafe - Thanks. Here's an update! Thanks for the review!
Bored247- Yupp! Vacation! No more jean for a month! Too bad, writing Jean bashing was fun. Anyway, everyone's getting suspicious of their surprises! It's amazing! That whole "surprise" thing wasn't planned and now it's really popular, buti hope i don't let you down! I'm still working on the piotr and john surprises.
Crash Slayer- Thanks for reviewing! If you haven't signed up for fanfic, you should. It's a lot easier keeping track of your fav stories. I used to not be a member, but then i decided to and now I'm totally happy with it. Plus, some people don't allow people to review who aren't fanfic people. Good thing i'm not one of them right? Lol. thanks for the quote responses. As for the kiotr surprise... ARG! I have like, almost no idea what to do! But anyway, I still have time, the start of the "surprises" chapter will be a couple of chapters later, but don't worry, hopefully i'll get a good Kiotr surprise in my mind and posted to your liking.
Numbuh half way hell- Thanks. I love the Kiotr pairing too! It just seems so right you know? I mean i used to be a HUGE fan of Lancitty, but now I love Kiotr more.
AN: BTW! (By the way- for those of you who don't know internet lingo) When I said in my last chapter a state close to Bayville, I meant New York. And, it's not really close because the drive's like 6 hours ish. AND, i don't know how many states are close to New York and have beaches, so let's say that the USA has 51 states now (it's 51 right?), including Daystone. lol.
Last Time:
"Bye," said Logan.
"Have fun," said Ororo.
"Bye," said the girls. Remy nodded at them and John and Piotr waved.
"And we're off," said Kitty.
Chapter 8- Road Trip
Rogue leaned over and turned the radio on.
Remy put his hand over Rogue's. "Y're not picking de station," he said.
"And why not?" demanded Rogue.
"Remy's not listening t' that wailing y' call music," he said.
"And what do ya suggest we listen ta?" asked Rogue.
Remy switched the station, "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent came on and Remy started singing to it.
"I'll take y' to de candy shop," he sang to Rogue. He looked at her while occasionally glancing at the road. "I'll let y' lick de lollipops. Go 'head girl, don't y' stop. Keep goin' 'till y' hit de spot."
"Um, no," said Rogue. She reached over and changed it.
"How about we listen to this?" said Kitty. She held out a CD.
"What does it have?" asked Wanda.
"A bunch of songs," said Kitty. "It's a mixed CD I made."
"Sure," said Rogue. She reached back to get the CD and popped it into the player.
"Switch" by Will Smith came on first. Rogue and Remy nodded their heads to the beat in the front while the rest started to dance in the back.
"Paaartay!" screamed Pyro.
"If this was a party there'd be rooms upstairs," said Wanda.
"You're welcome to take John on the roof," said Piotr. "Maybe then Katya and I could have some fun."
Remy immediately swerved into the side lane and stopped the car. He then joined the rest in looking in shock at Piotr.
"What?" he asked.
"That is the dirtiest thought that I've ever heard come out of your mouth," said Wanda.
"Ah expect that from Remy…" said Rogue.
"Hey!" protested Remy.
"Or John!" said Wanda.
John nodded mock sadly. "It's true," he said.
"But not from ya!" finished Rogue.
"Just because I don't say them out loud doesn't mean I don't think them," said Piotr.
Kitty laced her arm through Piotr's. "We're going to have so much fun this vacation," she said.
(-strawberrie-)
"Pit stop," said Remy after two hours in the car. He drove into a gas station. He drove over to get the tank filled.
As he fished a credit card out of his wallet he handed Rogue another one.
"Go knock yourself out," he said. "Take Wanda and Kit. Get us enough food to last us a couple of hours."
"Uh, Remy," said Rogue. "We have three guys heah. It'll take a lot moah than what can fit in the car ta satisfy all ya're hunger."
"Buy what y' can then," said Remy.
The girls left to the shop part of the gas station.
"I can't believe Piotr said that," thought Remy. He selected 'Regular' and brought the nozzle to the place for gas in the car.
"Dude!" said John. "I can't believe you said that mate."
Remy looked at John. "What are y' a telepath now?" he asked. "Remy was just thinking that."
"No," said John. "I'm just special."
"We know," replied both Remy and Piotr.
"Seriously mon amie," said Remy. "That was totally unexpected."
"I'm hanging out with you guys too much," said Piotr. "I need to go back to Russia."
"But Kitty won't be there," said John.
"True," said Piotr.
Remy took out the nozzle and carefully placed it back in its place. He said 'no' to getting a receipt and turned around.
"Get back in de car," he said. "Let's go t' de mart, so dat de femmes don't 'ave t' walk all de way down here."
(-strawberrie-)
"-About Five Minutes Earlier-"
Rogue looked at Wanda and Kitty as they walked to the gas station store. "Did he really just give me a credit card and tell me to spend money?" she asked. "Does he want me to max out his credit card?"
"Hun," said Wanda as they entered. "He's a thief. Is it even possible to max out his credit card?"
"True," said Rogue.
"So like, what are we going to get?" said Kitty.
Rogue shrugged.
"Let's start with candy," said Wanda. They went over to the candy aisle.
"Hmm," said Rogue. "Well, let's treat this as the shopping spree this is." She grabbed five bags of wax bottles, a bag of bubble gum balls, three bags of pixie sticks and two bags of butterscotch candy.
Kitty grinned. She grabbed a bag of whatever was in reach, including skittles, starburst, gum and altoids.
Wanda, instead of getting candy she turned to face the ship aisle. She grabbed a couple bags of Doritos and chips and dip.
"I'd rather like, be getting a new shirt, but this is okay," said Kitty as she went to raid another aisle, coming around to put her items on the ground with the rest of their items.
"Heah," said Rogue. "How about ah go and start getting these things checked out so we can pay quickly and go?"
"Sure," said Wanda from an aisle a couple away.
Rogue and Kitty grabbed a bunch of items and walked to the checkout while the checkout man looked at them strangely.
"You are buying all of that?" he asked.
"Yeah," said Rogue.
"All this and like, more," said Kitty. She went off to go get some drinks.
"Okay," he said. He started to ring item after item while Wanda and Kitty kept adding items to the pile.
"Okay, I'm done," said Kitty, coming up with the last of her items.
"Me too," said Wanda. They put both of their items on the counter.
"Wow," said Kitty. "I'm like, so tired. But it's only been like, five minutes."
"Let's get some coffee foah everyone," said Rogue.
"Everyone?" asked Kitty. "Even John?"
"It'll be okay," said Wanda. "You won't have to sit next to him, and I can handle him."
"Cool," said Rogue. She turned to the cashier who had just rung the last item. "Can ya add six cups of large coffee sugah? Thanks."
He turned and got their coffee from the machine behind him.
"That all?" he asked.
"Yeah," said Rogue. He rung up the total of all her expenses.
"Your total is $148.38," he said.
Rogue didn't bat an eye, she just handed over Remy's credit card.
The cashier swiped the card and then gave Rogue the receipt to sign.
The cashier handed her the long receipt, which Rogue pocketed. She grabbed two bags. Wanda grabbed another two bags while Kitty carried the coffee.
"We're gonna send three guys in heah ta get the rest of tha bags," said Rogue. "There'll be a tall brunette, a big guy and a red haired guy."
They headed out of the mart and were surprised when they saw the car pull up to them.
"Done chere?" asked Remy as he wound down the window.
"No," said Rogue. She went to the trunk of the car and opened it. She and Wanda put their bags in the trunk while Kitty went up to the front of the car and sat in her seat.
"You guys have to like, go inside and get the other bags," said Kitty.
"There's more?" asked Remy unbelievingly. He turned to Rogue as she got into the passenger's seat. "Did y' buy de whole place?"
"Nope," said Wanda. "They wouldn't sell it to us."
"Hurry up," said Rogue. "The faster you get the bags the faster we get there."
"And the faster we get there, the faster you like, get your surprise," said Kitty.
Remy and Piotr jumped out of the car and ran into the mart.
"What surprise?" John asked.
"One not as good as the one you'll get if you go and help them," said Wanda.
"How do I know it'll be good?" he asked.
Wanda looked at him and smirked. "Trust me," she said, letting her hand wander between his legs.
John looked at her, grinned and ran into the store after Remy and John.
Seconds later they all ran out. Remy and John had two bags while Piotr had three. They rushed to the back, threw the bags in the trunk and ran into the car.
"Let's go!" they said. Remy started the car and rushed onto the highway.
The girls laughed.
"Where is the video camera when you need it?" asked Wanda. "The last time I saw John run so fast was when my father was chasing him after he caught us making out."
Rogue and Kitty laughed.
(-strawberrie-)
"Pass the food back, will ya Wanda?" Rogue asked after awhile.
"Sure," she said. She grabbed two bags, one had drinks and another had chips.
"Is that Cheddar Cheese?" said John excitedly. He grabbed the bag, spilling all it's contents. He knocked into Wanda, which caused a chain reaction, and the coffee Kitty was starting to hand out slipped.
Kitty cried out and quick as a flash, Rogue's head whipped to glare at the coffee, it stopped in mid air, the coffee that had already started to drip out of the cup went back in as if it was going back in time.
"I thought Jean like, took her powers away from you," said Kitty as she got the cup again.
"Yeah, she did," said Rogue. "Ah talked with her a bit, she added a bit of her powers ta her globe, just in case of an emergency."
"Dat was an emergency chere?" asked Remy.
"Ta Kitty, it wouldha been," said Rogue.
"Yeah, that's true," said Kitty. "Thanks." She handed Rogue her coffee and Remy's too.
"So," said Wanda. "You excited about not seeing Jean for a month?"
"Ah'm so happy ah could crah (cry)," said Rogue.
"Especially after yesterday right?" asked Kitty.
"What happened yesterday?" asked John.
YESTERDAY
During dinner Rogue looked across the table. She saw Jean quickly look at her, and then turn to talk to Scott. Rogue noticed Jean's actions and figured out that she was talking about her.
Rogue summoned wind using Ororo's powers, and made it pass by Jean, making her voice carry to everyone in the room.
"…now that she has control she'll probably be fucking every guy from here to kingdom come…" said Jean. She immediately stopped once she realized everyone could hear.
"Jean, come with me to my office," said the Professor. Jean looked like she was about to protest. "Now Jean." The Professor wheeled to his office with Jean walking behind him.
PRESENT
"Good job Rogue," said Wanda.
"Thanks," said Rogue. "Ah can't believe she thought ah'd fuck every guy from heah ta kingdom come, when she's actually tha one doing it."
"She hasn't fucked me yet, shiela," said John.
"EW!" screamed Wanda. She closed her eyes, and clutched her head.
"What?" asked Piotr.
"Horrible mental image," said Wanda.
"EW!" said Rogue and Kitty simultaneously. The guys looked on with interest.
"Thanks a lot Wanda!" said Rogue.
"You're welcome," said Wanda. "And thank John."
"But like, John," said Kitty. John looked at her. "Even though Jean hasn't like, you know…"
"Fucked," he said.
"Yeah," said Kitty.
"It's okay ta say fucked, Kitty," said Rogue.
"I know, baby steps, you guys haven't like, influenced me enough," she said. "Anyway, she was probably planning on doing you soon."
"That's a horrible way to talk about a person," said Piotr. Everyone looked at him. "But knowing who you're talking about, I know it's true."
Everyone laughed.
"Are we there yet?" whined John.
(-strawberrie-)
Soon after, everyone fell asleep, Kitty on top of Piotr, and Wanda and John lying on top of each other, tangled together.
Rogue slept in the front, curled up against the side of the seat.
Remy looked over at her sleeping.
"So beautiful," he thought. "Why would she want me?"
He reached over and lightly caressed her face.
She twitched, but didn't wake up.
"My Rogue," he thought. "I'd do anythin' f' y' chere. Now that I have y' I'm never lettin' go."
(-strawberrie-)
Remy pulled into the driveway of the beach house a couple hours later. He parked the car.
"Wake up," he said. "We're here."
Everyone woke up, still tired from sleep.
"Get up, get out," said Remy. "De moving van's here. We gotta unload our stuff."
They all got out of the car and helped take their suitcases out of the van.
As soon as the moving van left a huge delivery truck came and parked at the edge of the driveway.
"What's that?" asked Piotr.
The driver came out of the car and came up to them.
He looked at his papers. "Is there a Mrs. Rogue Lebeau here?" he asked.
"Yes, that would be meh," said Rogue before Remy could respond.
"Sign here ma'am," said the deliveryman. Rogue signed the paper quickly.
"Is there a Mrs. Kitty Rasputin?"
Kitty giggled. "That's like, me," she said. She went up and signed the paper.
"And, a Mrs. Wanda Allerdyce?" asked the guy.
"Yeah, that's me," said Wanda.
The guys looked at their ring fingers and then at the girls' ring fingers. They were both empty, but the girls were hiding their hands from the delivery guy.
"When did you get married, my friends?" asked Piotr quietly.
"I was about to ask you the same question mate," said John.
"We'll ask de girls later," said Remy.
"You girls have the whole truck full of packages," said the deliveryman. "Let me go get them." He went back to the car, called the person sitting on the passenger's side, and went to the back of the truck where the both of them started unloading packages.
"You can just put them on the driveway," said Rogue.
"Yeah, our husbands will take them inside," said Wanda.
Remy came up behind Rogue and put his arms around her waist.
"We'll go inside while y're husbands come an' take y're stuff," he whispered in her ear. Rogue elbowed him.
"It was Kitty's idea," said Rogue. "Ah mean we did use yar credit cards."
"Are you serious?" said John. He turned to Wanda. "Did you max it out? You must have! I mean, that truck is HUGE! One third of that stuff is yours…" John looked at the truck in awe.
"I don't think that's all of it though," said Kitty worriedly.
The guys looked at her, shocked.
"No way," said Piotr. "How'd you even get my credit card number?"
"Relax!" said Wanda. "We didn't use your credit cards."
"But that's definitely not all of the things we ordered," said Kitty.
Rogue turned to Remy. "It's not lahke ah can max out ya'rs," said Rogue. Remy grinned.
"Damn," said John. He was watching as the guys unloaded box after box. "You shielas went all out."
The deliverymen unloaded the last box.
"We're done," said the one that told them to sign the papers.
"Okay, thanks," said Rogue. Wanda handed each of them a twenty.
"Thank you, bye," they said.
"Bye," said the girls. The guys nodded their good-byes.
"You guys get the packages, we'll get the suitcases," said Wanda.
"How about we go inside and figure out where we put everything luv?" asked John.
"Yeah," said Wanda. "I guess."
They all went inside and toured the house. There were three levels, the basement, the main level and upstairs.
The basement had a room, with two full beds, a mini living room, a game room, and a bathroom. There was also a huge room used for storage. The main level had a kitchen, a living room and a dining room, a laundry room and a door leading to the patio outside. Upstairs there was a room on the left that had two full beds with an adjoining bathroom, and another one on the right side.
In both living rooms there was a big screen TV, a DVD VCR, a surround sound system and a CD player. The couches were leather, and a dark blue color.
The house was huge. The rooms were the size of classrooms. The closets were the size of offices.
"Where are we going ta sleep?" asked Rogue. They were sitting in the main living room. Rogue was sitting in Remy's lap in the single couch, Kitty and Piotr were in the loveseat and Wanda was lying on the big couch with her head in John's lap.
"De walls are soundproof," said Remy.
"All of them?" asked Kitty. Remy nodded.
"Who gets the downstairs, who gets the upstairs?" said Wanda.
"Ah think Kitty and Piotr should get the basement rooms," said Rogue. "Since the game room is there, along with anotha big screen, we should be going down there a lot. If Kit an' Piotr are there we won't interrupt some freahky sex session lahke we would with Remy and ah or Wanda and John."
"That sounds good," said Wanda.
"We'll take de right side of de upstairs," said Remy. "There's a way t' get t' the roof in dat room and I know Rogue'll want t' go up t' the roof a lot."
"So we got the left," said John.
Wanda nodded. "That's cool," she said. She sat up. "Let's get our stuff now."
"How about everyone gets what they brought here?" said Piotr.
"How about the girls like, get the suitcases, and you guys get all the packages?" asked Kitty.
"I like that idea better," said Wanda.
"Of course y' would Wanda," said Remy.
"How about we like, vote?" asked Kitty. "All in favor of my idea, raise your hand." The girls raised their hands. It looked like it was going to be a tie until we saw John raise his hand.
The guys looked at him. "John!" said Remy.
"Hey," said John. "I want my surprise mate."
"Oh yeah," said Piotr. His and Remy's hands shot up.
"Great!" said Kitty. "It's unanimous." They all got up.
Remy sighed. "This is going t' take awhile," he said.
They started walking outside. "Just hope that tha second truck doesn't come with moah stuff," said Rogue.
(-no more strawberries-)
Sorry guys. I had to end the chapter. It's like 8ish pages long and I'm kinda tired.
Arg. Okay, for the surprises. I have the AWESOMEST idea for Remy's surprise. But I'm a little stuck on Piotr and John's surprise. I mean, I have an idea for them, but I'm not sure if it'll be good. Do you guys have any ideas? If you do just tell me in a review, and if I like your idea I'll write it (maybe tweak it a little) and when I post it I'll give you total credit.
And again with the surprises. I don't know if I'm going to put them all in one chapter, or put each in a chapter. I actually think I'm going to make three separate chapters, because the surprises I'm thinking of are going to be long.
I know no one ever really reads these, but I decided to talk anyway. But like, I was reading over my story and I noticed that 1. I made a lot of errors, and I'm pissed about that. And 2. I wrote a lot better in the first few chapters. Like, my writing quality is better. I think that posting so many chapters per weekend is taking a toil, so I might take a break, like post this chapter, and not post anything for the rest of the weekend and the next one. But we'll see what happens.
Love Always!
