Chapter 5: Uhm

"Oh, I am terribly sorry." The man said.

Shayna stood there, practically drooling over this guy. Misty was looking over to see Shayna.

"Uh-oh, Bryan come on! Shayna is drooling." She said pulling him over to Shayna.

The man just stood there staring at Shayna.

"Are you alright?" He asked her.

"Oh, she's fine. She does this all the time." Misty said.

"Really?" Meria asked.

"Meria! Of course she does this all the time!" Misty said.

"Oh yeah, she does." Meria said trying to be in the loop.

Shayna came out of her trance. "Hi."

"Hello, My name is Piotr Rasputin, and yours is?" He asked in that very sexy accent.

"My name is Shayna Tanner. Piotr, what a nice name, are youRussian?" She asked.

"Yes, I am." He said.

"Wow, you sound sexy." Shayna realized what she just said. She began chuckling. "Did I say that out loud?"

"Yes you did." Misty said.

"Great, now I've just made a complete fool of myself." Shayna said leaving.

Piotr just smiled and said, "Well thank you, and you didn't make a fool of yourself. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go see the Professor."

Shayna watched as Piotr walked away.

"Oh my God, he is so sexy!" Shayna yelled.

"Shayna, you think that about everyone." Bryan said.

"Shut up Bryan!" Shayna yelled almost mauling him down. She would have if Misty hadn't stopped her.

"Okay, mauling my boyfriend won't help you get Piotr." Misty said.

"I know but he insulted me." Shayna said.

"I did not." Bryan said.

"Yes you did Bryan. Now how are we going to get him to go out with you?" Misty said.

"I don't know, your guess is as good as mine." Shayna said.

"I can talk to him for you. I mean I'm a guy, I'll know if he likes you or not." Bryan said.

"THANK YOU!" Shayna screamed almost mauling Bryan again.

Bryan stood with a horrified look on his face.

"No I won't maul you, but thank you." Shayna said walking away.

A month later…..

Shayna was sitting in the living room watching television when Bobby walked in. Piotr was sitting in a chair watching the television also.

"Hey Shayna, what's up?" Bobby asked.

Shayna ignored him and kept watching the t.v.

"Okay, you're still mad at me. I see, well it was nice seeing you." Bobby said as he left the room.

" Nice to see you too." Shayna muttered under her breath as she began crying.

"Are you alright?" Piotr asked.

Shayna forgot that she wasn't alone and quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. "Yes I'm fine."

"No you're not, you're crying. To me that doesn't say you're fine." Piotr said.

Shayna just sat there.

Piotr got up from the chair and joined Shayna on the floor.

"What's wrong?" He asked wiping tears from her face.

"Bobby. He broke up with me to go out with someone else." Shayna said still crying.

"Did he cheat on you?" Piotr asked.

"Kind of." Shayna said.

"How do you mean?" Piotr asked.

"Well, when he broke up with me, he was already going out with her for two days." Shayna said grabbing a Kleenex and wiping her face.

"That to me is cheating. Listen Shayna, I don't know why anyone would want to cheat on you, you are a smart, kind, and funny girl. Not to mention you are very pretty. So I don't know why he would want to cheat on you." Piotr said holding her.

Shayna sighed a semi happy sigh. She was happy that Piotr was holding her and he called her very pretty. She was also sad because she didn't want to see Bobby for a while unless she had to.

Just then Gambit walked in.

"Whoa!" Gambit said.

Shayna pulled away from Piotr and blushed. Piotr smiled.

"What were you two doing?" Gambit said.

"Nothing Remy, I swear." Shayna said wiping away the last tear that Bobby would create on her face. "Well I'm going to bed, good night Remy, good night Piotr."

Remy walked over to Piotr when Shayna left the room. "So are you guys going out?"

"No, but I was going to ask her sometime." Piotr said starting to feel uncomfortable.

"Ah, well if you do end up going out, just remember this. If you hurt her I swear I'll kill you." Gambit said.

Rogue was walking past when she heard Gambit say the word I.

"Did he just say I?" Rogue asked as she peeked her head. She saw Remy trying to be big and bad and give Piotr the "Big Brother/I'll kill you if you hurt her" talk.

"Now d'ya unda'tand?" Remy asked Piotr.

"Remy, you've been drinking haven't you?" Rogue asked as she walked in the room.

"NO! Remy have no ben drinkin'!" Remy said falling over onto the couch.

"Uh-huh. Well, judging by that fall onto the couch I think you have been drinking. So we're gonna take you to you're room now young man." She said picking him up and taking him to his room.

Piotr turned off the television and went to his room to sleep. About an hour later he heard someone rustling through the halls. He got up and went out to look. He saw no one in the hall so he went searching through the mansion to find whoever it was. He went through all of the hallways and most of the rooms except one, the kitchen. He walked toward the kitchen and heard someone walking around. He peeked in to see Shayna getting something to eat, and singing to herself.

"I'm hot, sticky, sweet, from my head to my feet, yeah!" She sang as she poured orange juice in a glass. She set the carton back in the fridge and sat down at the bar to drink her o.j. Piotr turned around and walked away.

The next morning,

Shayna was walking down the stairs to go to school. When she got to the bottom, she saw Misty, Bryan, and Piotr standing there.

"They were probably waiting for me." Shayna thought to herself.

"Where have you been woman? We have been standing here for over an hour!" Bryan went on and on about how Shayna needs an alarm clock and this and that. Misty was standing behind him moving her hand.

Piotr and Shayna laughed. Bryan and Misty sneered at each other.

"Well, shouldn't we get to school? I mean you guys did wait an hour for me." Shayna said heading towards the garage.

Misty followed and ran up to Shayna and they laughed.

When they go to the garage,

"Shot gun!" Misty yelled jumping into the front seat.

Piotr and Bryan jumped into the backseat and Shayna climbed into the driver's seat and they zoomed off once the car was turned on.

"So what do you wanna listen to?" Shayna asked.

Misty was the first to reach the c.d. case. She picked out a silver c.d. and put it in. She immediately put on number 9, and smiled a devious little smile.

Then you heard,

"Do you really want it? (Yeah!)
Do you really want it? (Yeah!)
Do you really want it? (Yeah!)

Go, go, go (Go, go, go)
Ale, ale, ale (Ale, ale, ale)
Go (Go)
Go (Go)
Go (Go)
Go (Go)
Here we go!" Ricky Martin sang and Shayna and Misty sang along.

"Oh dear God." Bryan said in abject horror.

Piotr sat there like deer looking into oncoming headlights.

"I'm hiding." Bryan said ducking onto the car floor.

"At least you can hide, you're not six foot seven!" Piotr yelled.

"You can try, man!" Bryan said giving him his hand.

"No! Go on without me!" Piotr said pulling away.

"I'll never let go, Piotr, I'll never let go!" Bryan said talking his hand away.

In Reading class,

"Okay, we are going to start Romeo and Juliet today." Mrs. Halfin said.

"YES!" Shayna and Misty yelled.

"UHHHH." Everyone else groaned.

"Glad to see that some people are interested." Mrs. Halfin said.
