A/N: I was really mean to Scott this chapter. I really can't take him, he has such a stick up his A all the time! Just a warning.
"You sure about this, Kitten?" Lance asked, pulling up to the Institute.
"Yes, now stop asking me that!" she chided as she hopped out of the jeep.
"You men are such babies!" Betsy climbed out gracefully. "Don't worry! They won't bite you, 'til they know you better!"
"Huh?" Pietro looked confused.
"Musical reference," Kitty explained. (A/N A cookie for whoever can guess what musical!) "Come on!" She pulled on her date's arm and led him inside. Everyone was in the media room, in their pajamas. There were numerous pillows and blankets all around.
"Hey, Kitty, hi Betsy!" Sarah was first to get up to greet them. "We were wondering where you guys were!"
"We had to go to the Brotherhood house so the boys could get a change of clothes," Betsy explained.
"Well, hurry and change!" Sarah shooed them out. "We can't start without ya!"
"You can change in here," Kitty said, opening her bedroom door. "I'll go down the hall to Sarah's room."
Lance looked at her, eyebrows raised. "You sure? I mean, its not like I haven't seen you in your-"
"Yes!" Kitty laughed. "I live with two telepaths, you know?"
"One of 'em is asleep."
"Lance!" She swatted his arm. "Go. I'll meet you downstairs." Kitty tried her best to look serious, but he gave her his best puppy dog look, and like always, she melted. "Well- maybe for a little teensy bit."
"Where's Kitty and Lance?" Betsy said, walking into the media room with Pietro.
"Um, probably in the shower?" Sarah grinned, knowing her joke would annoy the hell out of Scott. Jean looked at him warningly, just in case. But Scott seemed unfazed, and only looked back at her innocently.
"So what are we doing? Any booze?" Pietro asked, sitting on the floor and pulling Betsy into his lap.
"Um, hello, from where?" Amara said disgusted. "We couldn't find Logan's stash, and Scott over there wouldn't let us use fake ID."
Come on, Amara that's totally irresponsible," Scott insisted. "There's lots of ways to have fun without alcohol." Everyone rolled their eyes at him, even Jean.
"We weren't gonna get wasted, ya know." Rogue spat at him. "Just a few drinks each. Lawd."
"Ya, and how can you play my favorite game without any booze?" Amara pouted.
"Your favorite game?" Jean raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah, you know, Never have I ever?"
"Ah love that game!" Rogue cried.
"Me too!" Amanda said eagerly.
"Vhat's never ever, never I ever-" Kurt was lost.
"Never have I ever," His girlfriend corrected him carefully. "It's so much fun! You take turns saying something you've never done. Like, I could say, 'never have I ever gotten a tattoo.' And if there's someone in the room who has done that, they have to take a shot."
"Amanda!" Kurt cried, shocked.
"What? It's so funny to see the stupid stuff people do!"
"Got that right!" Rogue laughed. "Nevah played with boys though."
"Yeah, me neither," Amanda leaned her head back into Kurt's chest. "That would be pointless though."
"Why?" Pietro asked. His interest in the game was clear.
"Because guys would be too chicken to tell the truth!" Amanda grinned at him.
"Would not!"
"Would too!"
"Would not!"
"Would too!"
"Would not!"
"Pietro, dude why are you arguing like a five year old?" Lance and Kitty had joined the party.
"Hey, you ever play a game called- um, what's it again?"
"Never have I ever," Betsy explained. "It sounds like good fun."
"Um- no. Never heard of it." Lance shook his head.
"Oh! Oh!" Kitty was excited. "Let's play!"
"Can't," Sarah shook her head. "No alcohol."
"So?"
"So?" Sarah raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah! We can play with something else! I've played with, like, money, clothes-"
"Is it never have I ever or is it poker?" Sarah laughed.
"It has to be something we have a lot of," Jean said thoughtfully.
"Oh! Gum!" Sarah cried. "For everyone shot you would take, you have to put half a piece of gun in your mouth."
"That could get messy!" Amara laughed. "I wanna try that!" Everyone agreed, and scrambled around for some gum.
"I wanna go first!" Sarah cried eagerly. "Ok, ok, um…never have I ever…um.."
"Start out tame, Sarah," Betsy grinned. "We get worse as we get on."
"Ok, um, never have I ever, stayed out past curfew." Most of the kids took in a half piece.
"Goody goody," Kitty accused.
"Sor-ry!" Sarah laughed.
"Alright my turn," Roberto said. "So it's never have I ever? Ok. Never have I ever… failed a class." Scott, Ray, and Amanda took a piece.
"Wait, SUMMERS?" Lance was incredulous. "What class?"
"Relax Alvers. It was calculus." Scott scowled. "And you've never failed a class?"
"Not that stupid," Lance rolled his eyes. Kitty and Jean held back their men, and Jean shot Scott another warning look. Once everyone had gone, Betsy decided to up the ante a bit.
"Ok, here I go," She straightened up. "Never have I ever…done it in a car." Scott and Jean were the first to take their piece. Kurt and Amanda looked at each other, and discreetly put their pieces in their mouths.
Not discreetly enough.
"KURT!" Kitty cried. "No way! And how did you even get a car?"
"Um- well, I borrowed-" he gulped, and Amanda giggled. "Scott's."
"Oh my god!" Scott covered his eyes. "Are you serious? Images I don't need!"
"Oh, shut up!" Jean swatted his arm. "Don't be stupid!" It's not like we haven't been there too! She added telepathically.
"Moving on," Sarah said. "Never have I ever…been caught with my fake ID!" Ray, Kitty and Amara each took a piece.
"You have fake ID?" Lance asked her, playfully twirling a strand of her hair. "Didn't know you were a bad girl!"
"I go with Rogue, so it's practically ok!" She insisted, eyes wide and innocent.
"Never have I ever…had Logan chew me out after a DR session!" Roberto said proudly. Bobby, Kurt, and Kitty all took a piece.
"Never have I ever been caught getting busy in public!" Bobby laughed.
Scott, Jean, Betsy, and Pietro took a piece. The other kids laughed.
"Like, really?" Kitty covered her mouth and giggled. "Where?"
"Dressing room at Dillards," Betsy looked down at her lap.
"I'd rather not tell," Jean blushed.
Amara thought for a moment. "Never have I ever destroyed public property with my powers!" Lance, Pietro, Scott, Bobby, Kurt and Ray all took a piece.
"Stupid hawk," Lance mumbled. The game continued until no one could speak due to mouths full of gum.
"What time is it?" Sarah asked after throwing her wad away.
"It's almost 3," Scott looked at his watch, yawning.
"You falling asleep, 'Mara?" Bobby nuzzled his girlfriend's neck.
"No, not me," she slurred.
"I vote for a movie," Sarah said. "Nothing like a movie to fall asleep in front of."
"Amen," Ray nodded to her. "What are we gonna watch?"
"Die Hard, anyone?" Lance suggested. Kitty groaned into his shoulder.
"Very good choice, my man," Ray nodded to him.
"No way," Amanda yawned. "Let's watch Lord of the Rings."
"What is it with you and pointed ears?" Sarah laughed. Amanda giggled and traced her finger around Kurt's ear.
"What can I say?" she purred, nuzzling him. "They're hot." The girls giggled and the boys rolled their eyes.
"I think movie is a good idea," Kitty said. "But which Lord of the Rings should we watch?"
"I say start at the beginning," Betsy said, stretching in Pietro's lap. "Fellowship first."
"I'll get it," Kurt bounded over to the entertainment center.
Kitty turned to Lance. "You tired?"
He looked at her lovingly. "No. Too happy to be tired. This night- I'm still waiting for the Toad to come into my room and wake me up."
Kitty smiled. "You're not dreaming, promise." He kissed the top of her head. Lance was so comfortable holding her, he never wanted to leave.
"Movie's in," Kurt said, settling next to Amanda.
"I love you, Kitten," Lance whispered in her ear. "Thanks for the great night."
"Thank you, Lance," Kitty snuggled up close to him for a kiss. "I love you too."
THE END
Well, that's it! Hope you enjoyed! I always wanted to give those two lovebirds a break, and they finally got one!
