Authors Note: (screams like a maniac) I have over 100 reviews! Oh my gosh! I was so excited when I found out. I started screaming and jumping and laughing…my sibs officially know I'm crazy. THANK YOU! Thanks to anyone who's ever reviewed me! Special thanks to the people who always read and review. Thank you thank you thank you! This story would not have been what it is without you all.
Okay, there are some things I should have done in chapter 14, but unfortunately it wasn't possible. First, I found out I had reviewers from Oklahoma, Connecticut (with German decent), England, Australia, and Maryland (with Ireland decent). It's so cool! Through Crazy I'm being connected with people all around the world and stuff.. Yeah, so thank you to the people who told me where they come from.
Review Responses!
A/N: Some of you will be up here more than once, since I'm doing review responses for the last…couple of chapters. XD.
Rogue238- See I'm like an outsider in my family, so talking to them, and hanging out with them is kind of hard, especially since every time I try, and try to open up with them it doesn't work, and I end up pissed off. It's nice that you like spending time with your family. I wish I liked it more than I do. Oklahoma! Awesome. Imma stop there when I go on my World Tour when I get older.
FireanIce – Cool. Thanks for reviewing!
CrashSlayer – Wow, you left me a long review. Okay. I'm sorry about the whole making it up and putting a number next to it. With the whole phobia of fish scales, I was saying like since Kitty had "scales" because of the mermaid outfit, if he didn't like scales that would ruin the whole effect of the surprise. I'm sorry about the mermaid thing! I hope I didn't confuse you too, too much. First, Kitty went online to like a costume shop and got a mermaid outfit. It fit skin tight because you can order it in sizes just like clothing. With the hair crimped, yeah, I think it probably would decrimp in the water. I didn't realize that since I obviously don't use one. You'll see what happens with the amount of money they're spending in… the chapter after this one I think. Thanks for reminding me! I hadn't remembered they were spending like millions of dollars. I forgot that people make their spaghetti differently. See, my mom was born and raised in Nigeria and they didn't have spaghetti there. Usually the American (or Italian) foods she makes, she makes them her own way, and that's the way I'm used to. With her spaghetti she uses meat in the sauce, so if you wanted it without meat she'd have to fix it weirdly. It's really complicated to explain, but yeah, Kitty's spaghetti would have just not had meatballs. Connecticut/Germany huh? Cool.
Bored247- Thanks. I was hoping you'd like that chapter. I wasn't sure if I had written a good enough chapter for you all. England? I want to go there! That would be so cool!
FluidDegree- You know I didn't think of all three guys coming up to the girls at first? Once you said that I thought, why not? So then I redid most of the chapter and added it in there. Thanks for the idea!
Lady Element- As I said in the disclaimer, I got the idea from a book. I was like, "hmm. Interesting." Australia? So cool! I'm going to be going there when I get older. There… and like, everywhere else in the world.
Lorelai- I like your name. It's pretty. Maryland origins! Cool! We could be…neighbors…actually I think not, since MD's pretty big, but cool. Ireland origins? Nice!
Cat2fat900- No chapter is complete until I get your review. Lol. I was hoping you'd like the surprise. I was having a hard time thinking of something for Jonda. Yeah, Holy fire was something I could just picture John saying, so I decided to add it. If Scott ever gets that pole out of his ass it'll be the end of the world officially.
Chica De Los Ojos Café- Thanks! I'm glad you liked the chapter. It took awhile to write.
SickmindedSucker- It's okay with the side note thing. Not many people do read it, why I still write it? I don't know. I'm glad you liked the chapter. I wasn't sure I could pull of a good Kiotr surprise, but I guess I did, so many people liked it. Of course John's surprise will have something to do with fire… I have an idea, but it's not strong enough. I'm still going to have to think, so I can get his surprise up.
FluidDegree- (Chap 14) Thanks. I was thinking that the people in her head would couple off since they do it in real life. And why not give Cody someone? (Chap 15) With the guys' fight, It wasn't originally planned. I might have done a little more of that, except the chapter was really long, and I've been told to keep them shorter, so I didn't want to add this whole fight scene which would have made the chapter huge.
Rogue238- Thanks for reviewing!
Remylover- Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you like the surprises. They're kind of hard to think of.
Fauna Greywolf- Thanks! Yeah, John's surprise is going to take awhile for me to think of. I'm probably going to sit my butt down and read a lot of Jonda to think of an idea. I hope I'll come up with a good one though.
Sickmindedsucker- (Chap 15) I'm glad you liked what the Prof did to Jean. In some stories I read how the Prof's this mean old man who favors Jean and Scott over people like Rogue, and I think, no that's not cool. So I decided I wanted him to be cool, so I got this idea. I wanted the ultimate punishment for Jean. It was only Travis who came back and joined the dance contest. I mean, he's the stubbornest out of all three of them, and how can Chris and David come back after being beaten up by John and Piotr? You know John probably set a very small fire on David. I know! Who would think to try and pick a fight with them? I mean, they're Acolytes! But you know, the girls are so great, they're worth…getting pulverized? …yeah… Here's a whole three new chapters! (Chap 14) Lol. Nurse uniform? Hmmm, maybe I'm not as creative as I thought. tear
Bored247- Lol. My taste in music… I'm not going to say anything. I mean, I listen to mostly everything once in awhile, I just listen to more Rap, Hip-Hip and R&B. And I don't listen to Rock or any form thereof. I hate it. Ick. Here's three chapters for you!
BrokenAngel1753- Hehe. Yeah, I thought John would say something like that. Thanks for the review!
Cat2fat900- (Chap 14) I wish I could go into my mind too! That could be so awesome! I'd finally literally have the room of my dreams! Well, Ralph is a free spirit that can't be confined. You mustn't put him back in his room when he escapes. Five Pyro clones? Wow, your mind will be crazy. Not that it isn't already. (Chap 15) It was fun writing this chapter. "PMS" moments are hilarious. I was laughing so hard when I was writing Jean's punishment. I still smile when I think of it. I'm so evil. There is NOTHING wrong with being tipsy. It's all a part of life…like writing. Yeah, I hate it when couples just act like whores and stuff. I like real dancing, like actually dancing with your partner. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Your review made me laugh as always.
Crash Slayer- I'm extremely sorry. I'll try not to be so predictable next chapters. Thanks for telling me!
Sunspotmisery- thanks. I'm so glad I did so well last chapter.
Chica De Los Ojos Café- smiles Thanks. Here's three new chapters for you!
Blue-fuzzy- Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind. I understand, sometimes that happens to me too.
Author's Note: In the last chapter I just wanted to note, that the three guys wanting to dance with the girls in Celestial wasn't my idea. It actually was FluidDegree's idea. I just want to give the credit where it's due.
Last Time:
"Poor guy," said Kitty. "First he was beat up by Remy and then he got slapped…"
"De homme's not poor!" protested Remy. "He deserved it!"
Rogue laughed. "Let's go guys," she said.
"Alright," said Wanda.
"See you guys at the house," said John as they split up to go to their vehicles.
Chapter 16- Problems
John and Wanda went into John's black convertible. Wanda sensed that something was troubling John, but decided to wait until he was ready to talk.
John started the car and they started home in silence.
"So that was fun," said Wanda.
"Mhmm," said John.
"I had a great time," said Wanda.
"Mhmm," said John.
"I'm so glad that Rogue and Remy beat Travis and his partner and won the Jet Ski," said Wanda.
"Mhmm," said John.
Wanda looked at him curiously, shook her head and stared out the window. After a few minutes she let out an exasperated sigh.
"What's wrong?" she asked him.
John glanced at her, and then back at the road. "Nothing," he said.
"Something's wrong, and I want to know what!" said Wanda.
The car was quiet for a few moments.
"What were you doing dancing with him?" he said without taking his eyes off the road.
"He's my friend, John," said Wanda. "Unlike with Travis and Rogue and Chris and Kitty, he hasn't done anything to make me mad at him. Yeah, he wants me. So? He can't have me without my consent and I'm with you and that's where I want to be."
"Friends don't dance together," said John.
"Bull!" exclaimed Wanda. "That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard."
"You didn't let me finish," said John. "Friends don't dance together the way you two were dancing."
"What the hell are you talking about?" yelled Wanda. "We were just swaying! He wasn't even fucking touching me!"
John didn't say anything, just kept driving, his eyes on the road.
"I don't know what the fuck your problem is!" said Wanda. "I'm not cheating on you, we were just dancing. I can dance with friends as long as I'm not freak dancing. I'm with you and it's where I want to be!" Wanda crossed her arms and looked out the window, angrily.
John looked over at her. He hated making her angry. He sighed.
"Fine," he said. "But I forbid you to see him, friends or no."
Wanda turned slowly. "What?" she said, quietly and with a silent fury.
"You're not seeing him," said John. "You guys may be friends but he wants you, Wanda and for that reason alone you're not going to see him."
John looked over at her when he stopped at a red light.
"I'm not going to lose you," he said softly.
"Well too fucking bad!" screamed Wanda. "Who the hell do you think you are? You can't just order me around, forbid me to do this, demand that I do this…"
"I'm your boyfriend, I can forbid you to do whatever the hell I don't want you to do," said John.
"Just because you're my boyfriend doesn't mean you can order me around," said Wanda. "I'm my own person, I can make decisions for myself. You don't own me."
"Last I checked you were my girl," said John as he pulled into the parking lot of their house.
"Well check again," said Wanda. She got out of the car and stood there, holding the door. "Because I'm not anymore!" She slammed the car door shut and stormed inside.
It was dark and quiet, Remy, Rogue, Piotr and Kitty had already gone back to their rooms to sleep, seeing as how it was five in the morning. Wanda stormed upstairs, grabbed her nightwear, a couple of sheets and a pillow and stormed back downstairs. On the way she passed John. She didn't even pause or look at him, she just stormed past him down to the living room where she tried to fall asleep on the couch.
(-strawberrie-)
(Authors Note: This part might get confusing. John and Wanda are both in bed thinking. Wanda is in italics, John is bolded.)
"I can't believe he tried to order me around like that," Wanda thought.
"Why the hell did I order her around?" thought John. He turned to face the wall.Wanda turned to face the ceiling. "I mean, what the hell? Who does he think he is my father?" she thought. She sighed.
"I didn't want to lose her. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Now she's gone. I should have known she wouldn't like being ordered around."
"Why do men feel that they have to order me around? Don't they think I have my own mind?"
"That's the thing I love about her. She has her own mind and won't let anyone tell her what to do." He turned to face the ceiling.
"How did this happen? Twelve hours ago we were just fine, now we've broken up."
"We were just fine before we went to Celestial."
"What did I do? How could I break up with him?"
"What did I do? How can we not be together?"
"How can I go through life not feeling his arms around me, not feeling his kiss, not smiling when he makes a Magneto made out of fire dance…"
"How can I go on without feeling her in my arms, without kissing her, without seeing her cry because she's laughing so hard at my dancing Magneto…"
Wanda tossed and turned, trying to go to sleep but unable to, for another hour.
John turned, fluffed his pillows and adjusted his covers for another hour trying to sleep, but unable to."How the hell am I supposed to sleep without John's arms around me?" thought Wanda.
"How the hell am I supposed to sleep without Wanda in my arms?" thought John.
"This is fucking impossible!" they both said angrily.
(-strawberrie-)
The both of them tossed and turned until around eight AM when the stumbled into the kitchen. John got a glass of orange juice and stood against the wall drinking it. Wanda, after putting all her stuff back in her room on the unused bed, took a plate, set it down in front of her and sat there staring at it.
"Why is he so stubborn? Why doesn't he apologize?" thought Wanda.
"Why is she so stubborn? Why doesn't she apologize?" thought John.
They both stared gloomily at the object in front of them, both of them too proud to apologize.
(-strawberrie-)
Rogue and Remy walked into the kitchen two hours later still half-awake. John still was standing against the wall, drinking orange juice, sulking while Wanda was still sitting at the kitchen table staring at an empty plate, also sulking. To Remy and Rogue they looked like they hadn't slept all night.
"Why is John drinkin' orange juice?" asked Remy.
"John's drinking orange juice?" asked Piotr as he and Kitty walked in. "Impossible."
"Possible," said Rogue. "Just as possible as Wanda not eating breakfast."
She walked over to the counter and quickly fixed some breakfast. She filled a plate of food for Wanda and replaced that with the empty plate Wanda was staring at.
Wanda made a face and pushed the food away. "No thank you, I'm not hungry," she in a monotone voice.
The four of them were shocked. As soon as John walked into the kitchen he normally ran to the coffee machine and poured himself at least five glasses. Whenever he was offered orange juice he'd make a face and look at you as if you had grown another head.
Breakfast was Wanda's favorite meal of the day. She showed it by eating as much as Remy and Piotr in the mornings. Wanda not eating and John drinking orange juice was a sign to them that something was not right.
The four of them looked at Wanda and John curiously. Remy went up to John and put his hand on his forehead while Rogue did the same with Wanda.
"Y' sick John?" asked Remy. "Y' feel fine."
John let out an angry breath and pushed Remy's hand away.
"No, I'm not sick!" he exclaimed. He put his half-full glass of orange juice on the counter and stormed out. A few seconds later you could hear the sound of a car as it started, and drove away.
Wanda let out a sob. Rogue pulled her hand away from her forehead, surprised. Wanda put her head in her arms as she started to cry.
Rogue, Kitty, Piotr and Remy looked at her and each other in horror.
"It's de end of de world," mouthed Remy fearfully as he looked at Wanda.
Kitty and Rogue rolled their eyes. They walked over to Wanda.
"Come on," said Rogue. She helped Wanda up.
"Let's go talk about it," said Kitty. The three of them left for the mini living room.
"Do y' tink we should go look for John?" asked Remy.
"No," said Piotr. "Let's turn on the radio. We'll listen for a strange occurrence with fire and that's where we'll find him."
Remy nodded. He walked over to the radio and turned it on to the news station. Then the two of them sat down at the kitchen table and started to eat their breakfast.
(-no more strawberries-)
I'm SORRY! Please, please don't kill me! I'm sorry! I really, really hadn't meant for them to break up. You see, first, I was thinking, I devoted a chapter to Romy, and I talk about Romy a lot more than I talk about Johnda and Kiotr. I'm kind of neglecting the other two couples. So, first, I decided to focus on one of the other couples. Then I remembered how Wanda kept dancing with Chris. I thought there's no way John wouldn't be a little mad about how Wanda kept dancing with Chris. So I decided this chapter would be about the two of them and their little argument. Emphasis on 'little.' I meant for this argument to be a small one, but then I started the chapter. All of a sudden the John in my head was yelling and ordering Wanda around, and the Wanda in my head was yelling back and I was here trying to get it all down on the computer. Next thing you know Wanda's breaking up with him and storming off and I'm thinking, "What? Wanda! Wait!" So yeah, they broke up, and are stubborn and won't apologize and get back together. Don't worry, I won't be making the other couple's have arguments and stuff to keep this story interesting. That's just stupid, considering there are so many other things I could have them do.
Anyway, 'til next chapter! This is Strawberrie, logging off…
