Marc could not talk Scott into letting them use his car, so instead they drove the blue Corvette. This was not really that bad in the first place. They parked and then strolled in.
"Maseon, party of four." Marc announce to the waiter.
"Let's see, Maes, McCay, Milo, here it is Maseon." The waiter said, scanning through the reservation book. "Right this way."
"Well that was easier than I though it would be." Marc whispered to no one in particular, the group stared at him, "You know, us being…mutants."
"Well what'd you expect, Human and Homo-superior sections?" Kitty joked.
Kitty gestured for Sam and Rahne to go first and the waiter seated them. Marc started to walk on but Kitty stopped him. "Wouldja look at them?" She said pointing at them.
"What do you mean Kit?"
"They look like they're having a great time."
-
At the table, Rahne and Sam just sat there.
Rahne pointed to his eye. "I'm sorry about that."
"S'okay." Sam replied flatly.
-
"Yep they're partying it up." Marc said cynically.
"Be quiet." Kitty demanded, "Let's join them."
-
"Hank, how are the training sessions going?" Logan asked, as he stuck his head into the refrigerator.
"Oh it's going well." Hank said, "The kids are having fun and-"
"They're havin' fun?" Logan growled, exiting the fridge with one of Ororo's famous cheesecakes.
Hank was surprised at this question. "Well yes, they are."
Logan set the dessert on the counter. "Why?"
"Well I believe by teaching making it fun the recruits will learn more."
"Has it worked?" He said as he unsheathed one claw and sliced a piece.
"Well no, but I think it's about to."
Logan smirked. "Yeah sure. Well make sure and tell 'em that the first day I get back they're gonna cry."
"Well then Logan I'll make sure they have extra fun from now on." Hank sassed.
Logan snarled. "Your five o' clock shadow's comin' in."
"Violence in the voice is often only the death rattle of reason in the throat." Hank said looking very smug.
Logan looked at him, squinted angrily, and then took his leave.

The four mutants, now all seated at a table, were listening to Marc who was telling a story about Bobby.
"So Me and Bobby take these two hot girls…" Kitty gave him a murderous look, "But nowhere as hot as you." Marc said patting Kitty's hand; she gave him a sarcastic smile. "Anyway where was…I oh yeah-"
Sam looked at Marc telling the story; he noticed how every time he looked at Kitty he had this little twinkle in his eye. He wanted that with Rahne, he began run through everything Roberto told him to do. He though he had them all memorized, but one look at Rahne basically erased that. How she looked in that green dress, how it showed of her legs. He eyed her, innocently, from her brown high-heeled shoes, to her beautiful smile, to her eyes…
"Oh Mah God she's lookin' at me!" He thought, "What do I do? What do I do?"
She giggled and grabbed his hand.
"…and then the ventriloquist was like, 'where did that clown come from?!' And than Bobby said, 'How am I supposed to know, I was looking over there.' We shared a good laugh after that."
As if he were yawning, Sam tried to put his arm around her but elbowed her in the neck.
"Sorry." He smiled apologetically.
"It's okay." She said scowling.
"Are you ready to order?" The waiter asked.
Sam recalled Roberto saying how to handle the ordering.
Kitty ordered first, "I'll take the Cesar salad, with a baked potato, please."
Marc nodded at Rahne for her to order next. "Aye, I'll have-
"We'll take the…ah…" Sam realized that he hadn't even glanced at the menu yet so he quickly peaked at it, "the Fugu-sashi?"
The waiter rolled his eyes. "Are you sure?"
"Yep." Sam said without hesitation.
Marc gave him a conflustered look and proceeded to order. "Yeah I'll take the cheese ravioli with vegetarian sauce, please."
"Your dinner will be with you shortly."
"Thanks."

Ororo had given Bobby and Jubes a ride to Blockbuster, though it was not at her own free will. She could handle Bobby and Jubes bugging her separately but together…they were unstoppable.
"What do you think about this one?" Bobby asked holding up a DVD of 'Spaceballs.'
Jubes shrugged. "Naw Ray rented that last week, but I think we should rent this one for Logan." She held up a copy of 'Gigli' and the both of them laughed.
Ororo peaked her head over one of the aisles. "Hurry it up you two, we've already been here for twenty-five minutes."
"Ok." They both replied sounding like two year olds; Ororo gave them a stern look and walked away.
"Lookey what I found." Jubes said reaching down to pick up a movie.
"What is it?"
She rose holding something behind her back. "It's only the best movie ever made." Bobby still did not understand, "Duh, 'Orange County' Bobby."
"I love this girl." He thought, smiling stupidly.
-
"Kitty could ya hand me a napkin?" Rahne asked.
"I'll get it." Sam said reaching and knocking Rahne's glass over, spilling water on her dress. "Oh gosh Rahne I'm sorry!" He patted her chest with a napkin and then realized what he was doing, "Oh jeez, I am so sorry I didn't mean ta-"
"I have to go fix my makeup and I'll get that cleaned up for you, C'mon Rahne." Kitty said pulling a shocked Rahne away from the table.
Marc watched them leave before he said anything. "Sam what are you doing?"
Sam looked at him baffled. "What'd'ya mean?"
"Ever since we got here you've been acting weirdly. Well first off you ordered blowfish for you and Rahne."
Sam looked shocked. "I ordered what?!"
Marc ignored him and continued. "You've had that stupid cocky smile like Roberto…"
"Did you say blowfish?" Sam interrupted again.
Marc continued, "Come to think of it, it's exactly like Roberto's."
"Blowfish."
"Yes blowfish!" Marc shouted causing several tables to turn and look at them. "Sorry folks."
-
"Kitty do'ya know what's up with Sam?" Rahne said sitting on a bench in the ladies room, drying the damp parts of the dress with the hand dryer.
"Close your eyes." Kitty applied some eye shadow to Rahne, "He's probably just nervous."
-
"Sam tell me what's up." Marc demanded.
"I've been followin' Roberto's advice an-"
"Wait, wait, wait…you actually listened to him?"
"Well Yeah."
Thwack
Sam rubbed the back of his head. "Oww…what'd'ya hit meh fo'!"
Marc shook his head. "For listening to him."
"I guess ya're right. Some of his advice was pretty out there, now that I come to think of it." Sam shrugged, "Ya know, he even tol' meh how at get her ta-"
Marc shivered. "I do not want to know."
Sam looked behind him and saw Kitty standing outside the ladies room.
"I'll be back in a sec." Marc said getting up and walking over to Kitty.
-
"Hey Marc what's up?" Kitty said confused to see him walking up to her.
"Oh nothing, I'm just wanted to ask you do you think that we should end this date now?"
Kitty looked angry. "Why?!"
Marc sighed. "Well Sam has been taking advice from Roberto, that's why he's been acting so weird. And I think it might be better if they just break off this date and go out some other time."
"Like, no way!" Kitty yelled as she stood there, with her hands on her hips. "Not after how hard I worked to get Rahne looking as good as that!"
"They'll have more fun if they go out by themselves." Marc shot back.
They two continued arguing; eventually trailing off into things that weren't even relevant to the situation at hand, not noticing Rahne passing by them and walking back over to Sam.
-
"Hey Sam?" She began tucking her dress underneath her legs, and sitting down next to Sam. "Why have ya been acting strange?"
"Umm…ta tell ya the truth, I've been listenin' ta Rob's advice on dates."
"Bad move." She said propping her head on her fist.
Sam did the same. "Ya know Rahne I've been thinkin' maybe, just fo' now, we should be friends?"
Rahne was clearly sad, but she understood where Sam was coming from. She knew that Sam liked her and he knew that she liked him, but this was neither the time nor place. This fancy stuff may have been fine with Marc and Kitty but they preferred the simple things.
"Aye," She said shifting nervously in her seat. "But just for now right?
Sam nodded and they got up and walked out the door.
-
Kitty and Marc were still quarrelling and right now, she was on a warpath. "I don't understand how you can be so-"
"Um, Kitty?"
"Stop trying to change the subject!"
"Kitty?"
"I know you-"
"KITTY!" Marc shouted.
"What?!"
"Where did they go?"
They move their heads back and forth, scanning the restaurant.
-
Outside, Sam and Rahne were walking alongside one and other on the frosty sidewalk. Sam wrapped his coat around her shivering body; she gave him a warm smile. It was then that Sam realized she had a twinkle in her eye and he felt his begin to heart pound.
"Ya still hungry Sam?" Rahne said hearing Sam's stomach growl, "Wanna go to that burger place down the street?"
Sam nodded thankful that she had said something. He placed his arm around her, "Rahne, I'd love to."

Hoped you liked it…and if you're wondering what kind of restaurant it was that they were eating at…let's just say they serve food.
