What you've waiting for: Alts and Lady Sirens go head to head. As always I own nothing.

The girls were getting set behind the closed curtains; they had less then a few minutes to get set.

Tabitha sat by her drums, twirling her sticks. An idea struck her.

She walked over to Rogue and Wanda who were strapping on their guitars.

"Rogue, Wanda. I got an idea!" she yelled out.

"What is it?"

Tabitha pulled out a pocket knife.

"Stand still." She warned Wanda as she cut a slit on Wanda's black skirt.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE-?"

"Evening the odds." She replied in a matter of fact tone.

Both girls arched their eyebrows.

"Those tarts gave me an idea." She explained as she walked over to Rogue.

"No way!" Rogue held up both her hands in defense.

"Come on Rogue!"

"No, are yah forgettin' somethang? Poison skin?" Rogue pulled on her long sleeved shirt and long black pants.

"Stand still."

Rogue shook her head.

"Please. Believe it will look good. Unless you want to admit to the guys you fucked up."

Rogue eyed her, sighed and then stood still.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Y'dink dah filles will make't?"

John shook his head, grinning. "Nope, you heard what Alison said. She loves us man." He explained.

Remy shook his head, "She aint dah one votin'." He sipped his drink.

John only shrugged, and looked around.

"Where the bloody hell is Pete?"

"Right here."

Piotr walked over to them smiling.

He stood next to Remy leaning on the counter. They just looked at their friend.

"Uh.. mon ami? 'hat got yah smilin'?"

"No reason." He told them simply still smiling.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Kitty rushed on the stage to face an angry Wanda.

"Where were doing?" she asked her.

"Um, nothing." She said simply.

Only Rogue noticed that Kitty looked a little flushed.

"Kittah?"

"Don't worry Rogue. I am cool" she told her even though she couldn't stop smiling.

"Alraght."

Kitty did a double take on Rogue and Wanda, "What the hell-?"

"Don't ask." The two girls said in unison

They all took their places.

"I give you the Lady Sirens!" Morrow introduced them.

Remy and John could feel their body getting excited.

"Mon Dieu!" he coughed up his drink.

"Bloody Hell!" John stared wide eyed.

Even Piotr couldn't believe it. He knew Tabitha had to be behind the reason why Gambit and Pyro were drooling now.

Wanda had a huge slit on the side of her skirt, and bottom of her shirt was now ripped to reveal her flat stomach. Rogue sleeves were cut from the shoulders down, showing her arms and her black pants had now become shorts, the only coverage for her legs: black high heeled boots that reached to her knees.

All the guys in the audience were whistling with slices showing bits of her legs.

Even Piotr let out a "Wow" getting him glares from Gambit and Pyro.

"Well." He shrugged.

Rogue and Wanda approached the microphone

Everyone started to dance immediately to the songs opening.

I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say you'll help me out

Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
No need to fight
Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
We'll be alright

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches
Push it, make the beats go harder
Push it, make the beats go harder

Remy could feel himself sweat and getting excited as he saw Rogue up on stage with the strobe lights hitting her face. 'Merde' he ran his hand over his face.


I'm sorry that I hurt you
Please don't ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine

Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
We'll stay up all night


C'mon push it, you can do it
C'mon prove it, nothing to it
C'mon use it, let's get through it
C'mon push it, you can do it

Everyone in the club was either dancing or moshing, hell even Pyro was dancing with Amara. Gambit looked over the crowd to see Dazzler (Alison) dancing with a couple of guys.

He was still sweating.

'Damnez-la!' (Damn her)

Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
We'll stay up all night

Don't worry baby
We'll be alright
Don't worry baby
We'll be alright

Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it.

The girls bowed as they received whistles, hooting, shouts and applauses.

"They were good, Da?" Piotr was actually enjoying the fact that Remy was sweating for a girl.

Before Remy could respond, John came up.

"We are screwed. What the hell? They got everyone dancing."

Remy just snorted "Y'know yah didn't have t'dance?"

John just shrugged "Amara kept pushing me to dance."

Remy just winced painfully.

"Mate?" he questioned Remy.

"What's wrong with him?"

Piotr just smiled "Don't say push."

"Débauché" (Fucker)

Remy got up and led them to the back to get them ready.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Good luck boys." Wanda stood behind John.

"We don't need luck. We're a hell of a lot better than you Girlie."

"Puh-lease. I saw you making goo goo eyes at us and dancing too."

"Amara dragged me! Oy didn't even want -." John was silenced by Wanda putting her finger on his mouth to shush him.

"What ever babe, I saw you looking at me."

John eyes grew large.

"Bye boys."

Wanda led them out.

"Bye Piotr" Kitty gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Bye Katherine."

"Alts. You got 10 minutes." A stage crew told them.

"What the bloody hell are we gonna do?" he ran his hand threw his hair.

"We can't play the song, those damn shielas are gonna kick our arses!"

"I know what song to play." Said Colossuses

"Which one."

Colossuses smirked. As did Pyro when he got it.

Gambit put his hands up. "Oh, no. Oh, enfer non!" (Oh, hell no.)

"Come on mate, we gotta!"

"Mon ami, no one is gonna know what we be singin!"

"Gambit, come on!" Pyro pleaded.

Colossuses put a supportive hand on Pyro's shoulder.

"It's alright Pyro, unless our friend Gambit here wants to admit he 'fucked up' to the girls."

Gambit started cruelly to his two friends, they knew how to break his ego.

"Ah hate'y." He grabbed his guitar and walked onto the stage.

Pyro and Colossuses just sniggered and followed him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yah think the boys will be anah good?"

Wanda just smiled and arched her eyebrows "No."

The curtains opened to reveal the guys. Morrow stood in front.

"Everyone the Alts."

I am an arms dealer.
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And don't really care, which side wins
As long as the room keeps singing
That's just the buisnnes I'm in

"What the hell are they singing?" Wanda asked.

"Ah have no clue."

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate

I wrote the gospel of giving up
(You look pretty sinking)
But the real bombshells have already sunk
(pre-madonnas of the gutter)
At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep
Crashing not like hips or cars
No, more like p-p-p-parties

"Seriously what the hell are they singing?"

Rogue just shook her head and watched as everyone was dancing and moshing to the song.

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
Bandwagon's full. Please, catch another

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate

"They're not good."

Rogue just pointed Wanda to the direction of the dance floor were …

"TABITHA KITTY, what the hell?!" the two were dancing to the music.

All the boys who the dance floor didn't love
And all the girls whose hips couldn't move fast enough
Sing until your lungs give out

Everyone sang out.


This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
(Now you)
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
(Wear out the groove)
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
(Sing out loud)
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
(Oh, oh)
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

(Dreams again. Were late)

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate

The crowd broke into cheers, much like they did when the girls played.

'This is gonna beh freakin close'

Morrow came up to the stage, as the guys walked off.

"Now for what we've been waiting for; Alts and Sirens come on up."

"This is it." Tabitha joined the Rogue and Wanda and threw her arms around the two girls.

The two bands joined together on stage.

"All right everyone. This is where you all come in. You vote for your favorite, and remember: don't fuck up." Marrow smiled.

"Got it? Lets go." She walked next to the Lady Sirens.

"If you love the Ladies, then show your love for the Lady Sirens."

The club erupted in cheers, whistles, and hoots.

"Well then," she walked over to the guys. "What about the Alts?"

Again the club erupted in cheers, whistles, and hoots.

Morrow looked at booth behind the audience where she knew a crew member was measuring the votes. She nodded her head as she got the signal who won.

"Alrighty, you all voted not me."

The girls and the guys were stealing glances at each other.

"And the winner is …"

Ha! You all have to wait to find out who wins! And guess what? Only two chapters left to this story! Next chapter up: 'friends again?'

The songs here are 'Push it' by Garbage (a personal fav!) and 'Arms race' by Fall Out Boy. Reviews? (So who do you think is gonna win?)
