A.pR. - Hello all! I got my 200th review! Does happy dance Thanks again to all my readers for supporting this story.

It seems I've got most of you to hate Marc…well, as you know, there was a love triangle going on. But eventually that triangle will have to be bisected by a perpendicular line. Anywho, Marc and Amara may not be done…or it could be over with…I'll let you think about that.

--------------------------------Don't count you chickens with a hammer-------------------------------------

After Marc and Amara's little talk, they ironed most of the stuff out. Amara did not want to hate Marc, even though he pretty much deserved it, so they agreed to put it behind them and continue on with their friendship. Easier said than done.

Everyone else was still in the dark on the matter, well almost everyone, Tabby and Bobby knew. However, Marc and Amara made them promise not to tell. Tabby wanted to tell, she wanted Marc to pay for toying with Amara…but, gosh darn it, she promised her best friend…well that and the fact that she forgot to cross her fingers.

A couple of weeks passed by like a flash and everything was getting back to normal at 'Mutant Manor.' Over those two, odd, weeks though, Amara and Marc had hardly spoken a syllable to each other. Marc had lost a great friend in Amara, it hurt him but he knew he deserved it.

On a lighter note, Kitty and Marc had grown closer as he wasn't spending a good deal with Amara anymore. Ray and Tabby seem to have hit it off well, two fun loving teens who love to be mischievous…could there be a better fit?

Rahne and Sam haven't yet decided to go out on a 'DATE' date yet but their relationship has taken great strides forward. For example, Sam and Rahne can now look at each other without blushing. Aw, ain't 'puppy' love cute…I know, I know, bad pun.

Right now, most of the students are pouring into the mansion from the long boring school day at beloved Bayville High. Marc strolled into the mansion, holding hands with Kitty and the couple headed over to the couch to relax and watch some TV.

On their way to the rec-room Marc spied Amara and Roberto in the kitchen together, flirting. Marc quickly looked away. "I guess I'm easily replaced." he thought to himself.

Once in the rec-room, Kitty and Marc sat down but to there chagrin, Kurt and Jamie were playing XBOX.

"Um…can you guys, like, play that stupid game another time?" she asked, naively. Poor girl, she didn't understand the addictiveness of video games.

Jamie and Kurt's eyes fixated on her in disbelief. "Vhat did you just zay…did you juzt call Halo…a stupid game?"

Marc stepped in front of her. "She didn't know, she didn't understand…spare her!" he cried, feigning urgency.

Kitty was confused and rightfully so, she didn't care too much for video games. She didn't see the point to them really.

"Kitty, video games…help build hand-eye coordination and let you become someone else and escape reality for a while." protested Jamie.

Kitty smiled and nodded, of course just faking it. "Oh yeah, and you also forgot about the seizures and the fact that it screws with your eye sight."

Kurt shook his head and looked back at the screen. Seconds later he fell back and started rolling on the floor. "Ach mein Gott! Keetty! Ah! I'm blind! Vhere did you go?!" he cried and peeked up at Kitty to see her reaction. "Oh and…I feel a zeizure coming on…oh whoa is me…" added the fuzzy one.

Kitty smacked him, hard, on the shoulder. "Ha, ha. Very funny."

Jamie casually scooted away from her, not really wanting to be her next target. "C'mon Kitty, wanna play?"

"Okay, but, go easy on me, okay…?" she asked and Jamie nodded and handed her and Marc a controller. "Because I've never played this before and I…"

Marc looked at her and then looked at and sighed, he reached over and helped her with her controller, which was upside down. This was going to be…interesting. Yeah that's it.

"You guys know what, we didn't do this year?" Evan asked some of the New Mutants as they were all outside of the mansion. "We never had a snowball fight!" he said and picked up some slush and threw it at Ray.

It was a mutant tradition to have a snowball fight every winter, however this year everyone had forgotten. Though the snow was scarce as it was early spring now, there was still enough to have a little snowball fight.

"Evan! That was just uncalled for." Ray groaned and tossed his backpack aside and balled some snow. "Now, you shall pay…ha ha ha ha." he added, laughing like an old Kung Fu movie villain.

Tabby laughed and threw some snow at the back of Ray's head. Ray's stare suddenly focused on her. He drew his arm back and slung a ball of slushy snow at her. Tabitha ducked, making him missed.

The snowball soar through the air, it was coming straight at Jubilation. Bobby, who was to the side of her, noticed this and gasped. He dove in front of her and by her, so that he, himself, was out of danger; the ball of snow him Jubes in the arm.

"Very heroic, Icee…very heroic." Tabs chuckled, sardonically.

Meanwhile, moments later.

They had just started up a multiplayer game of Halo and Marc was teaching Kitty how to play.

"Okay, now Kitty, you press this button," Marc leaned over and pointed to the button, "to hit someone when they're near you and…" he started to explain but stopped short as Kitty killed him in the game. "Hey!"

"Ooo, did I do that right?" she beamed.

Marc set his controller on his lap. "Yeah…but you could have waited of me to explain before you killed-"

"Oh there's someone…" she cheered as she cut him off. "How do you pick up that big gun?" she asked, quickly.

Marc sighed. "You press the X button but-" he was cut off again as she swiftly picked up the rocket launcher and killed Marc's guy again. "That's it, no more Mr. Nice guy…"

-Twenty minutes later-

Kurt was lying on the floor with the controller on his face, even though he was the one playing. Jamie was leaning on the couch, languorously. Marc was leaning his head on Kitty's shoulder.

Kitty had her tongue out to the side of her mouth as she passionately concentrated on the game at hand, rapidly pressing buttons.

Kurt sighed. "Vow Jamie, vhat a bright idea asking her to to play vith us…" he whined.

"Hey how was I supposed to know that she would be good?" protested Jamie.

Marc stared ahead at the TV screen, blankly. "She killed each of us twenty-three times in the last twenty minutes…she is no woman. NO…she's an unstoppable killing machine." he said in a deadpan tone.

The sound of an explosion and a deep voice saying "killing spree" came from the video game. Kitty jumped up and cheered. "Lost again, Kurt! Woohoo!" she taunted and did a little jig of victory.

Marc sighed heavily as he laid down on the couch. "Yes Kitty…yes you did."

"So…who's next?" she said with a glint in her eye.

"Count me out…I'm too depressed to play." Kurt said, stood, and walked out of the room.

Jamie dropped his controller and walked out of the room, briskly.

Kitty stomped her foot in aggravation. "Get back here and die you big babies!"

Marc gulped as he was the only one left. All escape routes were blocked. He was screwed.

"Why did they just get up and go like that?" she whined, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Now Kit-Kat…um…you kind of scared them off…" he said then covered up so she wouldn't hit him.

"How?" she asked, loudly.

"Well with all the shouting and the taunting…"

"Whatever…well, now it's just you and me." she said with a smirk. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

He smiled, happily. "I hope so."

"Good." she said joyfully and tossed a controller at him. "Let's play"

Marc pouted. "I was thinking of pulling off the sofa cushions and making a love fort…"

Kitty cheered. "Ha! I killed you again!"
