" Hey Logan, back so soon?" Rogue asked as she saw him walk casually up the stairs to. She was seated in the entrace way resting comfortably in one of the few couchs postioned in the room reading a novel.
" Funny." He commented gruffly. Rogue smirked and went back to her book.
" Oh come on Kitty." Logan heard Tabby plead. He looked up to where he had heard the voices.
" I said no." Kitty repeated as they appeared at the top of the stairs. Kitty didn't look to happy, she looked annoyed more then anything. She looked downt he stairs and saw Logan. " Hi Mr. Logan." Kitty said compleltly altering her mood just then to greet the gruff old man.
" Half-Pint." Logan acknowdged with a nod, he then looked back to Tabby.
" Hey Badger." She greeted lightly with a wave. " You know that Wanda destroyed another door right?" Tabby said lightly sticking her thumb over her shoulder.
" Yeah, yeah I know." He told her as he lightly jogged up the stairs.
" So where's the door?" Tabby asked looking around. Behind them a familar bamfing sound was heard.
" I had Kurt port it in." Logan told her as he walked on past them towards the visitors wing where the Brother Hood and Acoyltes rooms were located.
" Smart." Tabby said with a nod showing she agreed. The blond then looked over to Kitty and remembered that she was trying to get the girl to go out dancing with her. She smiled evily.
" On no." Kitty told her shaking her head. Tabby pouted.
" Please, it's just one night." Tabby reminded her. " Just like one maybe two hours tops. Please..." Tabby begged, really streching the please part for a good and long minute.
Kitty caved.
" Fine." She bit out bitterly in deafeat. " Let me go change." Kitty told as she headed back up the stairs to her room.
" Yes!" Tabby cheered out throwing her hands into the air doing a mini victory dance. " I am so good." Tabby declared.
" Or just really stubborn." Rogue commented lightly.
" Beg pardon?" Tabby raising an eyebrow. Rogue looked up and then casted her gaze around the room as if to see who Tabby was talking too.
" Meh?" Rogue asked, acting completely clueless.
" I heard you." Tabby told the Goth walking back up the stairs.
" Then why ask meh to repeat mahself?" Rogue called back up.
" I like to hear people say things to my face." Tabby told her nochalnetly as she walked down the hall to find Kitty. Rogue just shook her head and went back to her book.

John continued to pace about the floor of Pietro's room. He couldn't really pace in his room cause it was missing a door. So he invited himself into Pietro's room, where the too friends took the time to talk. Actually it was more like John rant and Pietro listened while ocatioally adding in his two cents.
" Argh. That- She-" John throw his hands up into the air. He was still pissed off at Wanda from their fight over two hours ago.
" Can you form a complete sentance for me?" Pietro asked sarcasticlly. John glared at the silver haired boy.
" Has she always been-"
" Yeah." Pietro cut him off.
" Was she ever-"
" No." Pietro cut him off again.
" Let me complete a sentance damit." John roared out his hands waving madly above his head.
" What I was jsut making your incohernet babbling easier for you." Pietro told him with a smirk.
" Well I don't need any help in making myself look like an ass."
" I never said you were an ass." Pietro told the Austraian.
" Yeah but you were thinkin' it mate." John told him smiling as he continued to pace about the room.
" No I wasn't your just being paranoid." Pietro said as he got up from his chair and on the edge of his bed indian-style and watched his friend pace.
" So sue me." John told him as he watched the silver haired boy.
" Come on." Pietro told him, " Let it out, you know you want to tell me." Pietro choached on the redhead.
" I have a problem." John finally came out and said. Pietro eyed him.
" Good, you know they say admitting you have a problem is the-"
" Oh can it Dr. Suess." John snapped.
" Dr, Suess wasn't a phyciatirst." Pietro commented with a confussed face.
" So sue me." John yelled out again.
" You know." Pietro said pointing a finger at the redhead. " I'm going to keep a running tally of how many times you say that. And one of these times I'll really do it too." Pietro said wipping out a piece of paper and marking two tally marks. Pietro looked up and smriked. " So what's her name?" Pietro asked slyly.
" Who says it's a woman?" John asked raising an eyebrow to Pietro's accusation.
" It's always women." Pietro told him, he gestured for Joh to continue. " So her name would be..." Pietro coached him on.
" Kitty." John finally admitted. Pietro almost choked. John raised an eyebrow and looked over to Pietro. " You okay mate?" John asked lightly.
" Fine." Pietro said snapping back to normal.
" Yeah sure mate?" John asked again.
" Yeah." Pietro told him brushing it off.
" Alright." John said eying the man carefully.
" You worry to much." PIetro told him as he ran a hand arrogently through his silver hair.
" So sue me." John told him lazily.
" That's three." Pietro told him making another tally mark while John groaned.

" Let me in!" Kurt demaned pounding on the door to the guys bathroom.
" Keep your pants on!" Toad shouted from the other side of the door, he was showering and had been doing so for the last fourty mintutes.
" Mien Gott you've been in zere for an hour!" Kurt shouted out as he pounded on the door.
" Ever hear patience is a vurtue Blue Boy?" Toad shouted out as he dumped half a bottle of shampoo onto his head.
" Vhy you-"
" Hey Kurt, what's wrong?" Bobby asked walking up to the wall beside the bathroom door, leaning lazilly against it.
" Vhat's vrong? Vhat's wrong? Toad has been in the shower for the last hour.
" Forty-Five minutes." Toad corrected from the other side.
" Vhatever." Kurt mumbled.
" Dang, Kurt if Toad is actually showering then I think it's best to wait." Bobby told him, then a thought hit him.
" You Little Green Wart. I spent half my day chasing you down to give you a bath and your now showering of your own free will?" Bobby shouted completely outraged.
" Life sucks don't it?" Toad shouted back as he began to rinse the gallon of shampoo out of his hair.
Kurt tried to hold back a laugh but failed, Bobby turned and glared at him. " You think this is funny elf?" Bobby demanded pointing an acussing finger at the blue fuzz ball.
" Ja." Kurt told him covering his mouth with a three fingered blue hand.
" Oh shut up." Drake shouted out. " I'll get you back Toad! Mark my words I will! " Drake threatened before he walked off.

He walked down the empty hallway for once instead of hopped.
Toad ran a hand through his clean hair, yes clean. He had hogged the bath room an hour and a half to get this clean. And to his surprise he figured out that he was a blond. He had forgoten he was used to the green tint it had to it.
He took a deep breath as he reached the door he had been heading for and shuffled his feet in place. " Okay come on Toad." He whispered lightly to himself. Todd gather up his courage and knocked on the door. " Go away." Wanda shouted from behind the door.
"But Sweetums." Toad called to her. " I just wanted to invite you on a walk."
" Toad." She said, " Look I'm not in the mood for people right now." She told him he tone a bit softer then from before.
" But you said me bathing would be a start." He reminded her. She didn't respond but a moment later the door swung open to find a very surprised Wanda staring at a very clean Todd Tolansky.
He was a blond, that was the shocker for Wanda. But it explained some things, his face wasn't a dirty light tanish green color but rather a handsome pale that held enough color to call it a mild tan, his eyes were bright blue that shown brightly with his clean hair and eyes. He hair was actually brushed but still held a trussled look from his hands running through it ever few seconds. He wore a clean pair of dark blue jeans and an old black ACDC band t-shirt with red writing and underneath was a white long sleeve. You'd be lying through your teeth if said he looked anything less then good.
" Just a walk?" Wanda confermed. Toad's face brightened and he nodded early. Wanda let out an annoyed sigh, " Let me grab my coat." She told him.
" Why? When I can keep you perfectly warm?" Toad asked opening his arms wide, as if he were expecting her to walk right into his welcoming embrace.
Wanda eyed with a small glare a frown clear on her face. For a small short moment until she spoke Taod thought she was going to Hex him into the wall. " Again, I'll get my coat." Wanda told him disapearing back into her room only to come back a couple seconds later with a dark blue sweat jacket that cut off just above her hips. It clashed horibly with her dark red sweats and yet she managed to pull it off Toad thought as she closed her bedroom door and began to walk down the hall. " Coming?" Wanda called to him.
Toad snapped his head up and nodded getting down and hoping after her. Wanda rolled her eyes as they walked to the end of the hall then down the stairs. Rogue was still lounging on the couch reading her novel. She looked up and eyed her fellow Goth as she traveled down the stairs with Toad no more then two steps behind her. Rogue smirked and Wanda scowled at her as they walked to the door.
Wanda was about to open the door when Toad suddenly beat her to it. " Allow me Sweetums. After all, ladies first." Toad told her opening the door wide open and clearing the way for her like the gentleman he was.
Wanda rolled her eyes, " Chiverly died a long time ago Toad, so don't try to bring it back." Wanda told him, though her eyes were gentle, she hated all that ladies first crap she was perfectly capable of getting a door for herself, if anything she would rather not have someone walk behind her. It was a paranoid thing about her, she always felt on edge like someone was going to attck her when she wasn't looking.
" Oh." Toad said as he followed her outside.
" It's okay Toad." Wanda told her tone softening just a little bit. Toad smiled lightly and stood upright and walked along side her. The two of them walked in silence for a ways Toad intently looking down at his feet and Wanda was just looking from one direction the other.
" It's nice." Toad finally declared. Wanda looked up to the sky and agreed. Toad looked up to the stars as well, it was rare for the stars to be out this early in the year, but in Bayville you took what you could get.They continued to walk in silence.

Finishing the last line of the page Rogue absently turned to the next page of the book, she was so involved and caught up in the story that she had stopped noticing her surroundings. Therefore, the young Goth was completely taken by surprise when a debonair yet annoying Cajun took a seat next to her on the couch.
" Holy Crap Cajun." Rogue shouted out instantly dropping her book and bringing her hand to her chest where he heart was. Remy just laughed as he bent over to pick up her book. " Are you trying to give meh a heart attack at the age of 16?" Rogue asked slightly glaring at him.
" Maybe." Remy said with a mischievousness grin. Rogue glared at him and rudely snatched her book out of his outstretched hand. " You know your lips move when you read." Remy asked absently as he shifted his body to get comfortable.
" Oh shut up." Rogue yelled at him as she skimmed over a couple of pages to find where she had left off.
Remy laughed. " Page 169." He told her running a hand through his auburn hair. Rogue eyed him carefully but then turned to that very page and found he was right.
" How'd you know that?" Rogue asked raising an eyebrow.
" Can't tell ya chere. It's a secret." Remy told her with a wink, an evil smile on his face as he looked up to the high ceiling.
" Please." Rogue stressed as she rolled her eyes. " What do ya want?" She asked him before getting back to her book; she was the best part too.
" Nothin'. M'just sitting here enjoying the company of a fine bella fille." Remy told her sending her wink. Again, Rogue rolled her eyes and Remy let out a low laugh. " Just came t'see if ol' Remy could join you." He asked scooting closer to her. Rogue scooted away.
" Yer close enough Cajun." Rogue told him, holding her hand out to stop him from getting closer.
" I can get much closer." Remy told her teasingly slidding even closer to her as he placed a hand on top of her knee, Rogue picked up his hand and tossed it off her knee.
" Stop." Rogue ordered him, her bottom lip slightly trembling.
Remy's face fell. " What's wrong chere?" Remy asked as he slowly back away a bit.
" You- that- you doing that. Stop it." Rogue told him sharply as she tried to stand up off the couch.
Remy darted to his feet. " Hey, hey Chere. Remy was only playin' wit you." He told her lightly. It wasn't the right thing to say Remy could tell right away.
Rogue felt like she had just been hit in the gut, or the heart.
Rogue sharply inhaled as she stood up, " Well play with some one else." Rogue told him hotly she then turned her back to him and with out a word marched up to her bedroom.
" Rogue?" Remy called to her.
" Leave meh alone." Rogue shouted right before the bedroom door slammed shut.
Remy stood there baffled. " Rogue?" Remy said quietly to the vacant room. He tried to replay the events that had just occured then tied in his knowledge of women and drew a blank.
" You wanna know what you did?" A female voice asked, Remy spun around and saw Jean standing in the open doorway. He opened his mouth to speak but she cut him off, " You said you were playing with her. You know toying with her emtions?" Jean told him bitterly as she walked towards the stairs. " Why is it men are such idiots?" Jean asked before she took off quickly up the stairs. You didn't have to be a telepath to know that she was pissed off.
Remy thought over her words and could have kicked himself. " Oh shit."

" Funny." He commented gruffly. Rogue smirked and went back to her book.
" Oh come on Kitty." Logan heard Tabby plead. He looked up to where he had heard the voices.

" Let me in!" Kurt demaned pounding on the door to the guys bathroom.
" Keep your pants on!" Toad shouted from the other side of the door, he was showering and had been doing so for the last fourty mintutes.
" Mien Gott you've been in zere for an hour!" Kurt shouted out as he pounded on the door.
" Ever hear patience is a vurtue Blue Boy?" Toad shouted out as he dumped half a bottle of shampoo onto his head.
" Vhy you-"
" Hey Kurt, what's wrong?" Bobby asked walking up to the wall beside the bathroom door, leaning lazilly against it.
" Vhat's vrong? Vhat's wrong? Toad has been in the shower for the last hour.
" Forty-Five minutes." Toad corrected from the other side.
" Vhatever." Kurt mumbled.
" Dang, Kurt if Toad is actually showering then I think it's best to wait." Bobby told him, then a thought hit him.
" You Little Green Wart. I spent half my day chasing you down to give you a bath and your now showering of your own free will?" Bobby shouted completely outraged.

Wanda eyed with a small glare a frown clear on her face. For a small short moment until she spoke Taod thought she was going to Hex him into the wall. " Again, I'll get my coat."

Finishing the last line of the page Rogue absently turned to the next page of the book, she was so involved and caught up in the story that she had stopped noticing her surroundings. Therefore, the young Goth was completely taken by surprise when a debonair yet annoying Cajun took a seat next to her on the couch.
" Holy Crap Cajun." Rogue shouted out instantly dropping her book and bringing her hand to her chest where he heart was. Remy just laughed as he bent over to pick up her book. " Are you trying to give meh a heart attack at the age of 16?" Rogue asked slightly glaring at him.

" Oh shut up." Rogue yelled at him as she skimmed over a couple of pages to find where she had left off.
Remy laughed. " Page 169." He told her running a hand through his auburn hair. Rogue eyed him carefully but then turned to that very page and found he was right.
" How'd you know that?" Rogue asked raising an eyebrow.
" Can't tell ya chere. It's a secret." Remy told her with a wink, an evil smile on his face as he looked up to the high ceiling.
" Please." Rogue stressed as she rolled her eyes. " What do ya want?" She asked him before getting back to her book; she was the best part too.
" Nothin'. M'just sitting here enjoying the company of a fine bella fille." Remy told her sending her wink. Again, Rogue rolled her eyes and Remy let out a low laugh. " Just came t'see if ol' Remy could join you." He asked scooting closer to her. Rogue scooted away.
" Yer close enough Cajun." Rogue told him, holding her hand out to stop him from getting closer.
" I can get much closer." Remy told her teasingly slidding even closer to her as he placed a hand on top of her knee, Rogue picked up his hand and tossed it off her knee.
" Stop." Rogue ordered him, her bottom lip slightly trembling.
Remy's face fell. " What's wrong chere?" Remy asked as he slowly back away a bit.
" You- that- you doing that. Stop it." Rogue told him sharply as she tried to stand up off the couch.
Remy darted to his feet. " Hey, hey Chere. Remy was only playin' wit you." He told her lightly. It wasn't the right thing to say Remy could tell right away.
Rogue felt like she had just been hit in the gut, or the heart.
Rogue sharply inhaled as she stood up, " Well play with some one else." Rogue told him hotly she then turned her back to him and with out a word marched up to her bedroom.
" Rogue?" Remy called to her.
" Leave meh alone." Rogue shouted right before the bedroom door slammed shut.
Remy stood there baffled. " Rogue?" Remy said quietly to the vacant room. He tried to replay the events that had just occured then tied in his knowledge of women and drew a blank.
" You wanna know what you did?" A female voice asked, Remy spun around and saw Jean standing in the open doorway. He opened his mouth to speak but she cut him off, " You said you were playing with her. You know toying with her emtions?" Jean told him bitterly as she walked towards the stairs. " Why is it men are such idiots?" Jean asked before she took off quickly up the stairs. You didn't have to be a telepath to know that she was pissed off.
Remy thought over her words and could have kicked himself. " Oh shit."

Author's Note: Yeah I know I kind of bailed on this story there for a while. Really sorry about that. I have no real good excusem so I'm not going to make up some BS to make you guys any less upset with my lack of updates.
Okay, this chapter...well not sure what to say. The part at the end with Remy and Rogue I'm not to sure I like, I may go back and rewrite that. Let me know what you think about it okay? Flames are more then welcome.
And now one to your reviews.
Jay Goose - John and Wanda are a wierd pairing aren't they? But I just love the couples that make no sense. Thanks for the review!
Frodo Hobbit - Okay the private time between Wanda and Toad is either in the begining of the next chapter or is in the second scene of the next chapter. One or the other, and most definitly there will be some jelousy between all the couples. Thanks for the review and I hope you liked this chapter.
Kulerka - Yeah John and Kitty do make a cute couple. I can't wait to write some up, couple more chapters give or take and it'll be written.
Vampiree - Yeah another John/Wanda fan! Those two are my favorite. I find it funny how I picture any couple but I can't picture Rogue with anyone but Remy. I fraw the line there. lol. Well hope ya liked this chapter!
Ellavira - Rogue was warming up to him...but that would just be to easy. As you can see here Mr. Smooth Talker slipped up a bit with his words, and Rogue took it the wrong way and for some reason unknown even me Jean is upset. Why? I don't know yet, by next chapter I will though. lol. Hope ya liked this chapter and thanks for the review!

Catrax - Thanks for your input but I can't see Tabby just suddenly persuing Toad. I could have that happen but it'd be way OOC. But it's a possiblity, it is my story and I am in control...some times...
Peachy Keen - I know I loved writing the last chapter, it was so much fun. I laughed as I wrote it. Yeah I know I'm wierd but if you can't laugh at your own work why would anyone else? Yeah feel me? Any how you're probably all healthy by now but still I'm gonna say it, Feel Better.
