Disclaimer: I do not own x-men evolution, or the songs. Before I forget the song in the last chapter was "Pressure" by Paramore. so now lets continue…
After about three hours of practicing with John and Remy, Piotr felt tired and bored. He believed hanging out with those two jerks could make anyone turn into womanizing pigs. He liked John and Remy but he had his limits when it came to hanging out with them.
"Lance like let go!"
'Kitty?" he walked to the side of the mansion to see Lance clutching Kitty's wrist.
"Aw come on Kitty, it'll only be for a few hours." Lance begged.
"Lance, you know I can't. Besides I have to like practice."
"You can practice anytime." He growled.
Piotr growled himself as he saw Lance's grip on Kitty harden. That jerk was abusing her again.
"Lance, I mean it. Let go!" Kitty fazed herself out of Lance death grip. "We can go out later, but not now."
Lance wasn't going to give up, "So… practicing is more important than me?"
Kitty only shook her head as Lance started to advance on her "Lance, I like didn't say that! We just want to win."
"Yeah right Kit. Come on let's go." He started to pull Kitty's arm, harder than before.
"Ow, Lance you're hurting me."
"Come on Kitty"
"Lance, no!"
Lance felt Kitty pull back; he turned to her and pushed her to the ground. Who did she think she was telling him no? He started to advance on her.
Piotr had enough.
"Step back from Kathryn." He intervened. Lance turned to him "This doesn't concern you Steel Face."
"When it comes to hurting my friends, then I believe it does!"
Lance saw the big Russian eyes darken. He didn't have to go through this crap.
"Whatever," he started to walk away "we're not finished with this Kitty." He turned to her before he walked to his jeep and drove off.
Piotr gave out his hand to Kitty, who generously accepted it.
"Thanks Piotr." She told him as she dusted herself off
"You are welcome." Before he could stop himself he asked her a question that was going through his mind almost everyday.
"Kathryn, why do still keep going out with Lance when he treats you like this?"
"He's not so bad, he just…"
"Doesn't know how to treat women properly with respect" he finished for her.
"He does, he just doesn't like to be stood up"
"Or does he not like it when you stand up to him?" he asked her.
'I really don't want to have this conversation." She thought bitterly.
"Piotr I know him a lot better than you do, so like lay off!" she told him and walked away.
'Why does she always stay with him, after the way he treats her?' he thought as he walked back to the back yard where Pyro and Gambit were practicing.
"Piotr? Anything wrong homme?" Gambit looked at him
"No." he simply stated as sat down and began writing in his journal.
"Of all the people in the world why did thay they have to find meh?" Rogue said out loud.
"Talking to yourself chere?"
She spun around to catch Remy watching her, his demon eyes dead locked with hers, he was leaning on her door frame and his arms folded
"No," she lied "what are ya doing here? Don't yall have to practice?"
"Took a break." He told her walking toward her.
"What do yah want?" He wasn't even in her room for a minute and she already felt her self getting pissed.
"Wanted to know if you were coming to da show."
"Why?"
"Saved a special place for ya, dat's all." He smiled smugly.
"In the crowd or in yah bed?" she smirked at him.
"Yah wound ol' moi chere." He paused for a second "unless if yah want some space in mah-"
"Yah a creep, yah know that?" she asked him.
"Yah brought it up, chere not moi."
She started to walk out when he grabbed her hand.
"Come on chere, ah was just joking."
"Swamprat -"
"Chere, come on listen to us practice, you'll like us."
"Ah promised Kitty and Wanda Ah would listen to them."
"Yah really think those fille can play?"
"Bettah than yah."
"Chere come on, those petites couldn't stand a chance against us."
"Yah don't know that!"
"Already do. Those fille would have to practice twice as hard just to get close to us when it comes to talent."
"What if Ah joined them?" she asked him.
He started blankly at her and laughed, "Chere, you. Bon one."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well what are yah gonna do? Stand dere and whisper yah 'songs'. Can ya even sing wit dat accent of yours?"
"Ya have an accent," she told him incredulously "and ya sing."
Gambit only shook his head. "Chere, yah couldn't last a second on stage while all dose people looking at yah. Yah would crack"
"Really?" she asked him, her eyes darkening
"Really. And yah know Ah'm right." He said smugly as let go of her gloved hand.
She stood there for awhile as his words sipped in. 'No,' she thought to herself 'Yah dead wrong.' Rogue grabbed her guitar that was hiding under her bed and her notebook.
She would show him.
"You guys we are dead."
"Oh come on Wanda, we sound great." Tabitha assured her.
"Yah, but we need to find another member, if Rogue doesn't join us we're toast."
"We could still let Jub-" Kitty started to say before getting cut by Tabs
"No, no tambourines what so ever!"
"So what are we going to do? We have to at least find better songs then this." Wanda said flapping around some papers they were practicing from.
That's when the door to the Danger Room, where they were practicing, opened with a bang.
"Got one more room in that band?"
"Rogue!!" Kitty jumped to her friend.
"Changed your mind?" asked Wanda smiling. "She better have!'
"Yep, and Ah got some songs to practice with." She told them giving her journal to Wanda and Tabitha to look through.
"Oh man!" Tabitha whined after reading some of the songs.
"What?"
"Kinda wished I betted the guys to serve us in there underwear now."
"Tabs!"
----Xavier's Back yard-----
"Piotr, Stop doodling in that damn journal man!" yelled Pyro.
"Not doodling." Piotr answered him behind the journal, "Den what are yah doing?" asked Remy.
"Nothing."
"Yeah?"
Remy and John turned to each other and both grabbed the journal form the un-expect Russians hands.
"Hey, give that back!"
Remy drew out his bo-staff to hold back Piotr as John looked through the journal.
"Hey Remy, old boy is holding back on us."
"Really?" Remy drew back his staff as Piotr fumed silently.
"Yeah, check this
out."
Remy read through it.
"Piotr, mon ami. Dis is great."
"Thank you, I guess."
Two hours, a couple of song changes, and a lot off key playing later the guys got their first song together. Amara, Jubilee, Rahne, Evan, Sam, Roberto, and the rest of mansion occupants (sans the Wanda, Rogue, Kitty and Tabitha) were cheering on the guys as they finished their song.
"Mates, I think we got!"
No bands playing yet. But the bands are up in the next chapter. So I'll get to that. And thank you to Choolio and b.a.n.h.s.f.c.x.oc for my first reviews.
