He was on a one-way bus trip to Melt Down Central. His mind was telling him one thing. Go home! Either go home and give up or just fully go crazy because, you are driving me up the wall. His body however was still moving in the direction of where Rogue and Pietro were dancing. Don't do it, his mind screamed. He had to. If he just gave up, what would that prove to Rogue, Pietro, and even Allana? It would prove he was a smart coward. Which was worse though? Being considered a coward or going nuts? Neither were appealing options. And of course while his mind was all for him being a coward. His pride wouldn't let him.
"Scott?" He didn't realize he was already standing in front of the now separated Pietro and Rogue. Oh, Scott was positive that he really was on the verge of melting down.
"Hey Rogue." He muttered.
"What are ya doin' here?" She asked looking slightly confused. Scott suddenly became very aware of the death glare Pietro was shooting him. He wasn't about to let the stupid kid get to him even if this stupid kid just happened to have the upper hand. Wait a second, how had Pietro gotten back into Rogue's good graces?
"I wanted to talk to you." He answered he guessed truthfully since he still wasn't really sure why he was there at all.
"Alright." She shrugged. She turned to Pietro and whispered a "See ya." Scott then started off the dance floor with Rogue closely behind. Scott could almost feel the daggers coming out of Pietro's eyes. "Can we dance while we talk?" She asked him shyly.
He grinned, "Sure." So the two started dancing, the music was definitely not his style but he managed the best he could.
"So what did ya want to talk about?" She asked.
"Oh, I..." Why did he want to talk to her again? He had faced the Brotherhood, tangled with Allana and lived through Logan's training. Of all the times to forget what he was doing this was not one he would have guessed. It was just nice to be there with her, "I can't recall."
She smiled, "Ya can't can ya? Well, Ah have a way to remedy that."
"Oh you do, do you?" He grinned.
"Sure. But if it's somethin' ya can't remember, and ya're Mr. Perfect. Perhaps it wasn't that important after all." She whispered close to his ear.
"Guess not." It was important you moron. THINK!
Meanwhile. They had just entered the room marked Employees Only. Cameron had said that it was important. She wanted to keep tabs on Scott, Pietro, and Rogue... but when Cameron said it was important it usually was.
"What do we have?" She asked.
"It might be what you're looking for." Cameron was taller than her by like half a foot with curly white hair and red eyes.
"You mean..."
"Yes."
"But, not even Hank or the Prof can find anything. How did you? Wait, on second thought, Cameron, don't tell me."
"That's probably wise."
"Usually is. Do you know what this means?"
"Of course I do, Allana. You only talk about it nonstop." Cameron laughed. Allana punched his arm.
Back on the dance floor. "Why are ya really here, Scott?"
"I wasn't spying I swear."
"I wasn't talkin' about that, though Ah'm glad to hear it."
"Then what are you talking about?" She shrugged in response.
Suddenly Scott was shoved and he hit the floor hard. He rolled over to see Pietro standing over him with his fists clenched. What was his problem? The music screeched to a stop. Scott wanted nothing more than to jump up and hit him. He stopped himself before he did and shifted his gaze in time to see Rogue run off the dance floor and toward the entrance. He jumped up ready to either go after Rogue or fight Pietro. Whichever came first.
"You going to stand there all day, Summers, are you actually going to fight?"
As predicted, just as Scott started to advance Pietro, Allana came out of nowhere and stopped him.
"Do you want to get kicked out? Cause, if you do, by all means go ahead. But if you do, the consequences from what not only what I'm going to do you but the Logan and the Prof are going to be very bad."
Scott nodded. The girl made sense. He returned his gaze to Pietro, "This isn't over, Maximoff."
"You know, for once you're right, Summers. This is just the beginning."

This was a very weird chapter. I dedicate this chapter to Father Time who gave me the idea for Cameron. I'm not going to tell you anything. Hehe... Later!
