"Where should we go first?" asked Jubilee as the five teens stood looking at a map of the mall. "How about a movie?" suggested Psylocke. The others nodded and bought tickets at the counter on the second floor of the mall.
Everyone was enjoying the movie; everyone except Pyro who couldn't stand that Rogue and Bobby were sitting next to each other or the fact that Bobby had his arm around Rogue's shoulder. It was even worse that they were now sharing popcorn. Pyro was on the verge of going insane when the movie ended.
"Thank god" he thought. Pyro looked down at the map and something on their caught his eye. The mall had a club. Maybe he could get Rogue to dance with him. That would really show Bobby. "Hey guys!" he said. "Look at this. The mall has one of those clubs. That might be fun." "Oooh" Psylocke squealed. "Lets go, we could dance!" Then, when the other three were looking at the map she leaned in and said to Jubilee "We have to get Bobby and Rogue to dance. They would make the best couple!" "You are so right. It is kind of obvious that they like each other. This is perfect."
The club was kind of crowded and after about five minutes they found a table to sit at. A waitress with short blonde hair and Bobby bought everyone sodas. They sat with their drinks for a while then a tall boy with dark eyes came and asked Jubilee to dance. She said yes without thinking and went off with him squealing with excitement. Rogue and Psylocke giggled.
Bobby looked at Jubilee dancing and thought about how much he wanted to dance with Rogue. He had to make a move or Pyro would.
"Hey, Rogue, I was-youwanngodancewimme?" "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that?" "Do you want to dance with me?" Bobby crossed his fingers behind his back. "I'd love to!" Bobby took her hand and led her to the dance floor not even glancing at Pyro who was just kind of staring at them. His plan had just backfired and now, his future girlfriend was slow-dancing with his best friend.
Bobby felt slightly nervous with Rogue so close to him. It was a good kind of nervous and he pulled her very close as they slow-danced. "Rogue? "Yeah? What's up?" It was now or never thought Bobby. He had to tell her or this would all be for nothing. "Well, um, you are my very best friend you know?" "Yeah, I know that. I feel the same way." "Its just that I- I think I like you as more than a best friend I-"but he couldn't finish the sentence, he was going to do something else though he though he would probably get completely rejected. It was worth a try. He kissed her
Rogue didn't pull away. She leaned in a started kissing him back and both were almost in shock when they broke apart. "Rogue, I love you." There. He had said it. It was done. She leaned in close to him and whispered "I love you too, I always have." Yes! Though triumphantly. She loves me. She actually loves me! She really said it! I love my life! He kissed her again making both of them very happy. But Pyro had been watching, listening, and hating Bobby.
It's not fair! He thought. Why should she love him, he doesn't deserve her. I do. She was supposed to dance with me, be my girlfriend! But while Pyro had these angry thoughts, Bobby and Rogue were happily slow dancing, oblivious to him. Bobby sighed. Yes He thought. Life is good.
